Shi Teng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Before transmigrating, Shi Teng was a city high school student who had just finished his college entrance examinations. He scanned a QR code formed from clouds and was reborn in the world of Perfect World as Shi Hao’s older brother, receiving the God-Level Sign-In System 1.

He retains knowledge of the original novel and its animated adaptation, including Shi Hao’s future as the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the losses awaiting him. Shi Teng hopes to prevent those tragedies without denying his brother an independent path to strength 12 40.

The brothers are descendants of the Stone Kingdom’s imperial clan. Their parents are Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, and their grandfather is Shi Zhongtian, the Great Demon God. Shi Teng explains this lineage to Shi Hao and promises to reunite their family after the Willow Deity reveals the circumstances of Shi Hao’s stolen Supreme Bone 40.

Appearance

• Initially described as having a short, childlike body 1.
• His medicinal bath leaves his skin shining golden, with denser muscles and bones and visibly enlarged limbs 3.
• The villagers notice further increases in his height and sturdiness after his wilderness travels 12.
• Azure Dragon Scales cover his skin in azure light; his left Azure Dragon Arm contrasts with the fiery, scaled Qilin Arm on his right 27.
• The Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd manifests as a golden mark between his brows when stored within his body 36 42.

Personality

Shi Teng is mischievous, boastful, and quick to tease others. He repeatedly calls Huo Ling’er his younger brother’s prospective wife, bargains with powerful figures over wine, and responds to Bai Yun’s accusation of shamelessness by joking that he has plenty of teeth 9 14 22.

His strongest attachment is to Shi Hao. He supplies his brother with cultivation resources, obtains a living source of fresh beast milk, and hopes to shoulder the painful parts of their lives himself. That tenderness coexists with demanding training: he deliberately pushes Shi Hao in combat to prepare him for enemies he cannot always face on his brother’s behalf 3 6 12 38 40.

He rejects passive reliance on fate or protection. Even when the Willow Deity warns him about the wilderness, he insists that the brothers must seek their own opportunities. He also values survival over pride, teaching Shi Hao that retreat can preserve the chance to win later 4 7 38.

His generosity is sharply divided from his treatment of enemies. He shares arts and treasures with Stone Village, but orders captured Bei Village fighters killed and vows hundredfold repayment against anyone who harms his family 16 35 40.
