But Shi Teng still did not stop.
He shouted, "Bleed more in training, sacrifice less in battle! You possess the ancient desolate sacred body, and this is already too much for you? Get up! Get up!"
Shi Hao was deeply puzzled. Why had his usually kind, gentle brother become so fierce today?
But at Shi Teng's provocation, Shi Hao climbed to his feet again.
He felt a strange energy begin burning in his lower abdomen.
He could clearly feel that not only was his body completely unharmed, but his strength was also soaring rapidly.
Suanni and the Willow Deity were shocked at the same time.
The ancient desolate sacred body-it was actually one of the ten great sacred bodies of the Immortal Ancient Era.
In terms of ranking, it stood even above Shi Teng's primordial azure dragon body.
A fiery gleam flared in Shi Hao's eyes, and his whole body filled with strength once more.
He hurled a punch at Shi Teng.
Bam!
Their fists collided, and Shi Hao was instantly sent flying.
Yet Shi Teng's right hand also tingled faintly. Excitement surged within him as he said spiritedly, "That's more like it! That's how a man should be! If your punch can't even kill an ant, can you still call yourself a man?"
The instant Shi Hao landed, he unleashed the Through-the-Back Fist he had learned from Shi Tianba.
The bones throughout his body crackled.
Every move rang out with a crisp crack, each stronger than the last.
Shi Teng's brows furrowed slightly as he strained to withstand Shi Teng's attacks.
He had merely passed these techniques on to the others from the system's Inventory; he had never learned them himself.
He had never expected the most ordinary Through-the-Back Fist to unleash such power.
It really was impressive!
The first nine cracks came from without, but the tenth came from within. In this way, the muscles and bones worked in perfect harmony, pushing the force of the ninth crack, already nearing its limit, to yet another peak.
Shi Hao let out a thunderous shout, "Through-the-Back Fist, tenth crack-break!"
Crack!
A muffled grunt rose from deep within Shi Hao. His muscles and bones worked in perfect harmony as he blasted out a punch.
Bam!
This time, both brothers were forced back several steps.
Shi Teng's right fist even ached faintly. Worthy of the Desolate Heaven Emperor indeed. He really does have talent.
Genius was ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent talent.
This brat was probably ninety-nine percent talent and one percent perspiration.
Shi Teng stopped and said, "All right, all right. Let's end today's sparring here!"
But Shi Hao only grew fiercer as the fight went on, showing no intention of stopping. He declared spiritedly, "Didn't you just teach me to bleed more in training and sacrifice less in battle, Brother? I can still fight!"
"Stone-Splitting Leg!"
Shi Hao leaped up and launched another flying kick at Shi Teng.
Its tremendous force made the air whistle.
Shi Teng had intended to take it head-on, but the blow was so powerful that even if he blocked it, Shi Hao's right foot would be injured.
If he pretended he could not block it, he would get hurt himself-and lose face as well.
He simply darted aside and dodged it.
Shi Hao's kick struck the boulder behind Shi Teng, blasting the millstone-sized rock apart with a single blow.
Holy shit! The Stone-Splitting Leg really can split stone!
Shi Teng had thought it was merely an imposing name meant to frighten people.
He had only just steadied himself when Shi Hao hurled another punch at him. "Mountain-Collapsing Fist!"
Bam!
The force of that single punch drove Shi Teng back more than a dozen steps. It truly possessed the power to cleave mountains and shatter stone.
Shi Teng flexed his right hand, his brows slightly furrowed. I can't keep going easy on him. I need to show him how treacherous the human heart can be!
"Watch closely, brat. Your brother will teach you another leg technique!"
Shi Teng immediately unleashed the Wind God Leg he had obtained from a check-in some time ago, which he had also spent considerable time diligently practicing.
At first, he had only intended to use it to flee for his life.
But in the end, Shi Teng had discovered that, when infused with spiritual power and his own strength, the Wind God Leg could reach a truly transcendent level.
"Wind God Leg!"
"First form, Seize the Wind, Catch the Shadow! It focuses on lightness techniques and footwork, forming the essential foundation for initiation into the Wind God Leg. Those who master it move without a shadow, swift as shooting stars!"
By the time Shi Teng finished speaking, he had already appeared before Shi Hao and swept a kick toward him.
"So fast! I didn't even see his shadow!" Shi Feijiao rubbed his eyes.
Shi Linhu said in a low voice, "Our Stone Village has finally produced a mighty warrior!"
Though Suanni held himself in lofty regard, even he could not help studying Shi Teng closely as he performed the Wind God Leg.
Mainly because it would surely be useful when fleeing.
"Second form, Sturdy Grass in the Wind! Not only does it strike the enemy with incredible speed, it also carries tremendous force, inflicting immense damage!"
Bam!
Shi Teng slammed another kick toward Shi Hao, who unleashed the Stone-Splitting Leg to block it.
Their feet collided with tremendous power, producing a wave of force that swept through the surroundings.
"Third form, Driving Rain and Gale! The kicks pour down like driving rain, their momentum fierce as a gale. That is the supreme art of Driving Rain and Gale!"
A skyful of shadowy kicks swept madly toward Shi Hao.
Unable to withstand them, Shi Hao was sent flying by Shi Teng's kick and slammed heavily into the ground.
"The next three forms are even more powerful. Watch closely!"
"Fourth form, Swift as Thunder, Fast as Wind! Its force is like thunder, its kicks as fast as the wind. Few can contend with it.
"Fifth form, Wind Sweeps Through the Ruins! Spin your body rapidly, sweeping up everything around you to fiercely assault your opponent.
"Sixth form, Divine Wind's Furious Roar! None can withstand the fury of the divine wind!"
Shi Teng performed all six forms of the Wind God Leg in one go. Though it was no heaven-defying technique, it was undoubtedly a superior martial art below the cave heaven realm, powerful enough to crush most low-level precious techniques.
Though Shi Hao lay on the ground, his eyes remained firmly fixed on Shi Teng's body.
Every move was clearly etched into his mind.
Shi Teng landed, softly exhaled a breath of stale air, then extended his right hand toward Shi Hao.
Shi Hao took his brother's hand and stood up.
Shi Teng asked in a low voice, "Did you remember it?"
Shi Hao answered, "Yes, I remembered it. With a few more rounds of practice, I'll be able to use it proficiently. This leg technique really is incredibly powerful!"
Shi Teng nodded. "Yes. The Wind God Leg emphasizes advancing and retreating through footwork, coming and going without a trace, with astonishing power.
"Of course, most importantly, when you can't win, you can also use it to run away!"
Shi Hao's eyes were resolute. "I don't want to run away!"
Shi Teng stroked Shi Hao's head, which was already soaked with sweat. "Remember, brat, a true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall, when to yield and when to straighten up. If you can't win, don't run. There's nothing shameful about it. Don't be bullheaded!
"Can't you just find another chance to beat them later? If you lose your life, you'll have nothing left. You're my only little brother!"
"Oh!"
Shi Hao answered, though he still did not quite agree with his brother's view. He wanted to fight, remain undefeated through ten thousand battles, and never flee or shrink back.
"Ah, it's finally over. Break it up, break it up! Time for roast meat!"
The villagers watching nearby gradually dispersed.
In their eyes, it had merely been an ordinary battle, with Shi Teng proving stronger.
But in the eyes of Suanni and the Willow Deity, they had seen two Young Supremes steadily growing.
One day, their names would surely resound throughout the Great Wilderness.
