Chapter 104 Two Years
Shi An's words carried a hint of reproach, but more than anything, they were filled with doting affection.
He reached out and gently patted Shi Hao's shoulder, continuing, "However, being able to do this shows that you have indeed improved. But remember, you need to be more cautious in your future actions, after all, the power of a Venerable is not something you can easily contend with right now."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao scratched his head and responded, looking somewhat embarrassed, but the smug look in his eyes was hard to hide.
Seeing this, Shi An shook his head, then looked at the young woman beside him and asked, "May I ask who this young lady is?"
The girl's large eyes darted about, sparkling with a spiritual light that seemed to illuminate the future. She smiled gently and said, "Young master, you are too kind. Your cultivation is astonishing, unmatched in this nest. I am but a mere spirit, how could I dare to trouble you with such a concern!"
With that, the girl turned to Shi Hao and said, "Little brother, I've been out for a long time, and my true body has been distracted by too much energy. I'm afraid there might be danger, so I'll take my leave now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl was about to transform into a shower of light and depart.
As he watched the girl's figure gradually fade away, Shi Hao felt a pang of reluctance.
During this period, he got along well with his partner and they cooperated seamlessly. The two of them would ambush and surprise the other party together, and they worked together very happily and skillfully.
Finally, as the girl turned into a rain of light and disappeared, Shi Hao couldn't help but shout, "I look forward to going to the Ancient Divine Mountain and the Sea God Island together in the future, and looting them on a grand scale!"
"Giggle giggle~"
However, all that responded to him was a string of clear, melodious laughter that was as beautiful as heavenly music and could intoxicate one to the core.
The girl's laughter faded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the sky above the dense forest island, leaving Shi Hao and Shi An standing facing each other.
After a long silence, Shi An looked at Shi Hao and asked, "Little brother, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to come with me, or continue to be alone?"
When asked by Shi An, Shi Hao did not respond immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking, "Brother, I think I've discovered the secret of this Kunpeng Nest during this time."
"secret?"
Shi Hao's words startled Shi An slightly, but he quickly realized that Shi Hao must have discovered the test left by Kunpeng.
Sure enough, just as Shi An was thinking this, Shi Hao said again, "I've discovered that to obtain the true Kunpeng Treasure Technique, I might have to walk the same path that Kunpeng walked back then, and reach the pinnacle of the Spirit Transformation Realm."
Seeing the expression on Shi Hao's face, Shi An immediately asked with a smile, "So you plan to...?"
Shi Hao replied with a firm gaze, "I want to try and see if I can follow the path of the Kunpeng and break through the limits of the Spirit Transformation Realm."
Upon hearing this, Shi An nodded to himself, his eyes full of admiration: "Since you have made your decision, I naturally support you, but you should also take care of your own safety."
"I've got it, brother!"
Seeing that Shi An did not stop him, Shi Hao smiled happily, said something to Shi An again, and then plunged into the sea.
"This kid..."
Seeing Shi Hao's anxious appearance, Shi An couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't say anything or do anything. Instead, he turned around and left.
Shi Hao has his own cultivation path and his own destiny. Now that Shi Hao is going into seclusion, he should continue his journey of training.
And just like that, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Many things have happened in the past two years, and this sea area has been turbulent.
Over the past two years, countless powerful figures have come and gone, but no one has been able to break into the Kunpeng Nest. No one has truly obtained that precious technique; only countless creatures have died, leaving behind a trail of corpses.
Many lives were lost in this sea area. Heroes came and went, one group after another. Basically, all the powerful ones who were capable of coming showed up, all wanting to find an opportunity to break into the divine nest, but all of them failed.
In the end, even the blue sea was almost dyed red.
Furthermore, the legends surrounding Shi Hao and his companion have never faded and are frequently mentioned, because their act of plundering the spirit body of the Jiao Venerable has been exposed, and some people have witnessed it firsthand.
When this news spread, it stunned the crowd, and then caused an uproar. They felt both amused and exasperated, wondering what a ruthless pair they were to dare to lay a hand on the Venerable One.
However, in reality, people sympathized with the Dragon Venerable because after this incident, he was utterly humiliated and lost all face. Such a powerful being was brutally beaten and robbed by two juniors, which was truly speechless.
This incident also led to a significant increase in the number of dragons in this sea area, reportedly all sent by the Dragon Venerable. He was furious and dispatched his disciples and followers to find the great thief.
He had once looked down upon the North Sea with unparalleled arrogance, rarely encountering a worthy opponent. Yet, in the end, he was so badly bullied by a mere brat and a hateful girl. How could he accept this? He simply couldn't swallow his pride.
This became a laughing stock. Whenever people saw the dragon appear, they would look at each other, smile knowingly, and feel quite happy.
Some older figures, if they suffer calamities here because their cultivation is suppressed, will quickly think of the Flood Dragon Venerable to comfort themselves. After all, even the Flood Dragon Venerable has been beaten up, so what is there for them to hold onto?
For a time, the Jiao Venerable became synonymous with tragedy, so over time, Shi Hao and the other person were still remembered and became a topic of conversation.
However, their silence lasted far too long. The witch disappeared for two whole years, while the young lad only showed up once every few months, always looking sneaky and slippery.
Two years have passed, and Shi Hao is almost thirteen years old. He has barely left behind his childish days, and at this age, he is already old enough to marry and have children in the Great Wilderness.
But the mischievous child's nature is hard to change; he remains as fierce as ever, doing some bizarre things that incur the wrath of both gods and men.
For example, it's one thing that the Jiao Venerable was robbed, but what people don't know is that after the mischievous child learned that the number of Jiao dragons in this area had increased and that they wanted to harm him, he secretly took action and beat up all eighteen of the Jiao Venerable's grandsons, making them cry for their parents, and robbed them of all their valuables.
However, he did not kill him, but sent eighteen of his dragon grandsons back to deliver a message, warning the Dragon Venerable to be careful.
Such a blatant threat to a Venerable One, such a naked warning, could only be done by someone as ruthless as him. The entire Jiaolong clan was speechless, their teeth itching with hatred.
In addition, over the past two years, he has pelted several hostile and powerful individuals with bricks and smashed them with god-slaying stones, causing a group of people to turn pale at the mere mention of the brat, yet they cannot reveal their own tragic experiences and must swallow their grievances.
As for Shi An, although he hasn't made people grit their teeth like Shi Hao has in the past two years, he's still someone people dare not mention easily.
For the past two years, Shi An has been scavenging all kinds of spiritual plants and precious medicines, which has led him to encounter many other beings who have come to scavenge as well. Without exception, even when faced with a Venerable One, none of them could withstand a few moves from Shi An and in the end, they had to hand over the spiritual plants and precious medicines they had collected.
Compared to Shi Hao's sneak attack, Shi An directly overwhelmed them, so although they were unwilling, they did not harbor much resentment towards Shi An. Instead, they all marveled at Shi An's extraordinary strength.
