Jun Moxiao found Shi Hao cultivating, interrupted him, and said excitedly, "Stop cultivating for now! Willow Deity is taking us somewhere great. Let's go try our luck."
Shi Hao hurriedly asked, "Where?"
Jun Moxiao said, "The Void God Realm. There are experts of every stripe in there. Let's go have a look."
The two came before Willow Deity, and Shi Hao asked about the Void God Realm.
Willow Deity explained, "The Void God Realm is divided into many regions. Within each region, everyone's cultivation is suppressed to the same realm. You can go meet some other geniuses."
Shi Hao immediately grew excited and declared that he wanted to go take a look.
"Enter the Initial Ground of the Void God Realm from here. Everyone there is in the blood moving realm. I will guard your physical bodies here."
The two sat cross-legged before the willow tree. Willow Deity opened a portal, pulled their spiritual bodies straight out, and sent the two little fellows inside.
Jun Moxiao felt as though he were dreaming. This had to be his soul leaving his body! He looked around curiously.
Shi Hao was the same, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Willow Deity's voice rang out. "Follow that road straight ahead. Once you pass through the portal, you will reach the Void God Realm."
The two stepped curiously through the portal ahead.
The next moment, a world appeared before them, with mountains, water, and people. It was like the virtual reality games from his previous life-a virtual world, really.
They had arrived at a plaza in the Initial Ground. There were plenty of people there, some sparring and others boasting. All sorts were gathered there.
Jun Moxiao asked Shi Hao, "How does it feel? Shall I hit you and see whether it hurts?"
With that, he lightly punched Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was astonished. "How strange! It really hurts. I feel like we're dreaming right now."
Then Shi Hao spotted four precious bones on the passageway and immediately perked up. "Xiaoxiao, look! Precious bones!" he shouted.
He hurriedly tried to pry them out with his fingers, but no matter how hard he tried, they would not budge.
His actions drew mockery from the crowd. "Where did this brat come from? What an ignorant country bumpkin."
At that moment, two shifty little old men walked over and explained to Shi Hao, "Kid, you can't pry those precious bones out."
"I refuse to believe that. I'm getting these precious bones today!"
Shi Hao sprinted around the four precious bones like a tornado, then punched the passageway. His tremendous strength shattered its stones, sending all four precious bones flying.
Shi Hao grabbed one precious bone. Seeing the other three about to fly away, he shouted anxiously. Letting them escape would be a huge loss.
"Xiaoxiao, hurry!"
Jun Moxiao shot over like lightning, instantly caught the three precious bones, and tossed them to Shi Hao.
Jun Moxiao asked quietly, "What cultivation method is on the precious bones?"
Shi Hao said, "Just a fierce beast's precious technique-the Bifang Precious Technique."
Jun Moxiao said, "Not a bad haul. Keep it for Grandpa Chief and the others to cultivate later!"
Everyone in the plaza was stunned by the two children's heaven-defying feat, and they all offered to trade for the precious bones.
The two shifty old men also crowded around Shi Hao. "Little brother, would you like to trade those precious bones? I'll give you jade currency for them."
Shi Hao knew nothing about such things, but he made his stance clear. Once the precious bones were in his hands, trading them away was out of the question.
"No trades. Lord Bird and Lord Jade Wall, please step aside."
Suddenly, a stone stele appeared before him, with several words written on it.
Lord Bird explained to Shi Hao, "The Void God Realm has acknowledged your record. Hurry and write down your information."
Following the two old men's instructions, Shi Hao immediately wrote a few words on the stele.
Then a voice rang out from the sky. "Loves Drinking Beast Milk shattered the passageway of the Initial Ground. Reward: one Primordial Divine Book Fragment."
Shi Hao was dumbfounded. Now everyone knew that he drank beast milk.
The name sent the crowd into fits of laughter. It was simply too funny.
Immediately afterward, another stone stele appeared before Jun Moxiao.
Jun Moxiao was bewildered. I'm just tagging along. Why am I involved too?
Lord Bird hurriedly called out, "Little brother, write down your information!"
Jun Moxiao's mouth quirked. He could not scribble something carelessly like Shi Hao. After thinking for a moment, he wrote, "Laugh not as I lie drunk upon the battlefield-the Invincible Handsome Guy."
A voice sounded in the sky. "Laugh not as I lie drunk upon the battlefield-the Invincible Handsome Guy. Supreme snatching record. Reward: one Primordial Divine Book Fragment."
Everyone in the plaza was knocked flat by the outrageous name and burst out laughing.
"Isn't this kid a little too arrogant? But that line, 'Laugh not as I lie drunk upon the battlefield,' has real style! Calling himself the Invincible Handsome Guy-isn't he far too full of himself?"
Someone exclaimed, "What an interesting little fellow!"
Shi Hao laughed. "Xiaoxiao, aren't you afraid someone will beat you up for showing off like that?"
Jun Moxiao smugly raised his head. "Well? Hao Tian, isn't it better than your Loves Drinking Beast Milk? The whole world knows you drink beast milk now."
Lord Bird told Lord Jade Wall, "This little fellow is far too full of himself, but that line, 'Laugh not as I lie drunk upon the battlefield,' is quite poetic!"
Seeing the little fellow receive a piece of an ancient bronze book, the crowd offered to trade with Jun Moxiao for the precious bones. Jun Moxiao simply tossed the precious bones to Shi Hao.
"I gave the precious bones to the milk-drinking tot. Go talk to him."
Lord Bird and Lord Jade Wall immediately switched into swindler mode. They approached the pair and said, "At a glance, I can tell that you two little brothers are dragons and phoenixes among men."
Shi Hao asked, "Lord Bird, where else are there records to break? I want to break more records and win prizes!"
Lord Bird said, "Do you think records are that easy to break? In the past, Shi Yi of the double pupils slew ten fierce beasts. No one has broken his record to this day."
Hearing Shi Yi's name made Shi Hao angry. Unconvinced, he said, "I'll go kill fierce beasts too! I'll break every one of his records!"
Lord Bird thought for a moment. "There aren't any fierce beasts left, but you can challenge another record. Shi Yi once leaped onto a volcano's summit in a single bound. That record still stands."
Lord Bird pointed at the Twin Volcanoes nearby.
Shi Hao perked up and hurriedly said, "I'll challenge it too! I'll beat his record!"
News that Shi Hao would challenge Shi Yi's record shook the entire Desolate Region. Many great clans sent people over, and the Senior Sister of the Heaven Mending Pavilion brought people as well. She immediately recognized the two little geniuses she had met before.
Xia Youyu hurried over to greet them. "Little brothers, will you come to our Heaven Mending Pavilion?"
Jun Moxiao greeted Xia Youyu as well. "Beautiful big sister, we will."
When the Rain Clan and Martial King heard that someone intended to challenge their genius, they came to see who it was.
The crowd surrounded Shi Hao, discussing him as they waited for his performance.
Suddenly, birds cried overhead, and several beautiful women descended on a Five-Colored Sparrow.
"It's the War Goddess from the Deer-Chasing Academy!"
The War Goddess's arrival drew cheers from the crowd. She seemed quite popular.
Jun Moxiao took a look. Well, well! Isn't this the advertising girl from the animation? She's incredibly beautiful, with the hottest figure too. Too bad she hardly gets any screen time.
A stunning woman with a valiant bearing and a voluptuous figure jumped down. She approached Shi Hao and Jun Moxiao and asked, "Are you two Loves Drinking Beast Milk and the Invincible Handsome Guy?"
"He's Loves Drinking Beast Milk. He grew up drinking beast milk."
Jun Moxiao pointed at Shi Hao beside him, making the milk-drinking tot even more famous.
Shi Hao said, "Handsome Guy, you also...!"
Shi Hao was about to say that the Handsome Guy had drunk beast milk as a child too, but before he could get it out, Jun Moxiao clapped a hand over his mouth. He stopped him from speaking and quietly fed him a line.
"Willow Deity said not to tell people about me."
The War Goddess laughed at the two little fellows. She asked Jun Moxiao, "Invincible little handsome guy, you're rather full of yourself, aren't you?"
Jun Moxiao replied calmly, "Nothing special, nothing special. Only third in the world!"
"I'd like to invite you both to our Deer-Chasing Academy. We have plenty of beautiful big sisters there!"
Faced with such heaven-defying little fellows, the War Goddess even brought out the beautiful-big-sister bait to recruit them.
Hmm! You're actually using this to test a cadre?
Seeing her rival trying to steal them, Xia Youyu immediately spoke to the War Goddess.
"They're already disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion-the kind we've reserved in advance. Our Heaven Mending Pavilion has beautiful big sisters too."
"Everyone, stop arguing! I still need to break records and win rewards!"
Shi Hao shouted, then leaped straight onto the tallest mountain's summit.
Everyone below was stunned by his feat and shouted, "Incredible! He really broke Shi Yi's record!"
A record stele appeared, accompanied by a voice. "Loves Drinking Beast Milk climbed the highest peak in the Initial Ground, surpassing the record."
But no reward appeared, even after a long wait.
Shi Hao jumped down and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say there were rewards for breaking records?"
Jun Moxiao said, "Hao Tian! Maybe you didn't look handsome enough while breaking it!"
Shi Hao said, "Handsome Guy, why don't you try?"
Jun Moxiao said smugly, "Watch closely, then. I'll show you what true handsomeness looks like."
Jun Moxiao jumped straight up from where he stood, rising a thousand meters above the tallest mountain. Then he turned upside down and plunged from the sky. When he was a hundred meters above the ground, he spun 1,080 degrees in midair, followed by three somersaults, before landing steadily on his toes. The dazzling string of flashy moves nearly blinded the crowd.
With both hands in his pockets, Jun Moxiao bragged to Shi Hao, "Today, with my hands in my pockets, I don't even know what an opponent is. Well? Handsome, right? Convinced yet?"
Everyone's mouth hung open in a huge O. The little fellow had stunned them all.
A record stele appeared before Jun Moxiao, accompanied by the Domain Envoy's voice.
"Invincible Handsome Guy has set the highest record in the Initial Ground, unmatched throughout the ages."
The Void God Realm's voice snapped everyone out of their daze, and astonished cries erupted. "He's a god! A peerless prodigy like this is one in ten thousand!"
Shi Hao exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao, you're fucking amazing!"
Jun Moxiao said calmly, "That's all basic stuff. Don't be surprised! Hey! Even a pose that handsome doesn't get a reward?"
The great clans all extended olive branches. "Little brothers, come join our clan!"
The War Goddess hurriedly said excitedly, "Little brothers, come to my Deer-Chasing Academy! I guarantee we'll spare no effort in nurturing you. I'll teach you personally."
Xia Youyu said heatedly to the War Goddess, "Stop dreaming! If you can teach them, why can't I?"
Looking at Jun Moxiao's record, Shi Hao's fierce refusal to admit defeat flared up. He asked Lord Bird, "What other records can I break?"
Lord Bird grew interested. Wanting to see just how heaven-defying these prodigies could be, he contacted the Domain Envoy.
Several measuring steles appeared in the air. Lord Bird explained to Shi Hao, "Attack the steles. They can measure your strength and other things."
Shi Hao punched a stele. With a bang, cracks spread all over it.
The Domain Envoy announced, "Loves Drinking Beast Milk has broken the strength record for the blood moving realm."
Jun Moxiao also punched another stele with a bang, reducing it to powder.
"Invincible Handsome Guy possesses the greatest strength in the blood moving realm, unsurpassed by anyone before or after him."
The Domain Envoy's voice rang out, leaving everyone utterly stunned once again. Unsurpassed by anyone before or after him! What kind of peerless prodigy was this?
Next, the two broke records one after another. Every time Shi Hao set a record, Jun Moxiao surpassed him, followed by the Domain Envoy's announcement: "Invincible Handsome Guy, unsurpassed by anyone before or after him."
This left Shi Hao thoroughly dejected. He shouted at Lord Bird, "Lord Bird! I want to fight the Handsome Guy in the arena!"
Lord Bird and Lord Jade Wall also wanted to watch these two peerless prodigies face off. They immediately asked the Domain Envoy to prepare an arena, and Lord Bird even opened betting odds, welcoming everyone to place wagers.
News that Loves Drinking Beast Milk and Invincible Handsome Guy would fight in the Void God Realm's arena shook the entire Eight Lower Domains. Even the Stone Emperor, the Fire Emperor, and others came. Huo Ling'er followed the Fire Emperor into the Void God Realm and recognized Shi Hao and Jun Moxiao at once. "It's those two little brats!" she blurted out.
The Fire Emperor asked, "Ling'er, do you know them?"
"I met them in the Great Wilderness before."
Huo Ling'er explained to the Fire Emperor how she had encountered the two little brats in the Great Wilderness.
After learning that these two little brats had just set a whole pile of records unsurpassed by anyone before or after them, the Fire Emperor formed an idea.
In Stone Village in the Great Wilderness, Willow Deity also sensed the two little fellows' arena match through divine sense. Willow Deity sent a voice transmission to the villagers and used magical power to create a large screen so everyone in Stone Village could watch.
In the Void God Realm's arena, Shi Hao said to Jun Moxiao, "I know you've always been the strongest, but I still want to challenge you and see where my limits lie."
Jun Moxiao stood with his hands behind his back, carrying himself like a grandmaster. Yet that bearing contrasted with his adorably innocent face, making people unable to hold back their laughter.
"Hao Tian! Cultivation has no limits. There is only forging ahead without hesitation. Since we're fighting, let's fight to our hearts' content!"
Everyone burst out laughing. They were clearly just two little brats, yet when they became serious, they had the bearing of grandmasters, oozing swagger. The sight charmed everyone.
The two attacked, clashing with raw strength and precious techniques. By unspoken agreement, neither used the precious techniques of the Ten Fiends, relying only on those of other fierce beasts.
Yet the Bi'an Precious Technique, Taotie Precious Technique, Suanni Precious Technique, Golden Roc Precious Technique, and Vermilion Bird Precious Technique still stunned the crowd and left them burning with envy. Some even revealed greedy looks.
The sharp-eyed Fire Emperor recognized them at once and cried out involuntarily, "That's the Vermilion Bird Precious Technique! And so many other supreme precious techniques! Where did they learn them?"
Neither fighter's figure could be seen in the arena. Only repeated bangs rang out as they fought from the ground into the sky, then back down again. Even the arena was smashed apart.
Everyone exclaimed, "Is this really a battle in the blood moving realm? I feel like I'd be killed instantly if I stepped up there."
The two fought for an hour, but Shi Hao ultimately lost. Jun Moxiao had not used his full strength either, merely sparring with him and feeding him moves.
Shi Hao said, "That felt great. I lost, but I don't think you used your full strength."
Jun Moxiao said quietly, "Let's talk after we get back. Someone may have recognized you."
After watching the battle of the century between the two prodigies, everyone cheered in disbelief.
"Was that really a duel between two people in the blood moving realm? They were incredible, and the fight was spectacular! I wonder which clan raised them. Peerless prodigies like these leave Shi Yi countless streets behind!"
Jun Moxiao whispered to Shi Hao, "We've caused too much of a stir. I spotted some of your enemies. Let's head back to the village first."
Shi Hao had also spotted several masked figures. They belonged to the Rain Clan.
Before leaving, Jun Moxiao found Xia Youyu again and asked her for a map to the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Shi Hao's bratty nature erupted again. Angry that breaking records had earned him no rewards, he shattered a record stele with a punch.
The Void God Realm then issued a warning and expelled him. "Loves Drinking Beast Milk destroyed a record stele. Expelled from the Void God Realm for two years."
Everyone roared with laughter. A brat was a brat, after all. One moment he was serious, and the next he was back to his mischievous ways.
