Chapter 142

"Now we can only count on Duan Hun and the Shi brothers; forget the others. It's simply impossible to defeat this beast."

The crowd murmured in discussion.

Roar!

Seeing no one step forward, the beast pounded its chest with both hands, its eyes seeming to hold a look of dissatisfaction.

It then sat down on the ground.

"Damn, this guy seems to be looking down on us."

A disciple who understood the situation immediately spoke up in displeasure.

"It's just a beast. Wait until Duan Hun and the Shi brothers arrive, and we'll show you what a disciple of a great sect is!"

Being looked down upon by a beast made many disciples feel their faces had lost all honor, and they spoke out one after another.

——

As time continued to pass.

More and more disciples arrived in succession.

Upon learning what had happened here, they wore expressions of shock.

After all, a beast being this strong was truly quite rare.

"Look quickly, it's the Shi brothers; they've finally arrived!"

Someone said excitedly.

The crowd immediately turned to look.

They saw two figures walking from not far away.

The figures were extremely tall.

Both over two and a half meters, with blocky muscles bulging, filled with explosive visual impact!

Shi Guang, Shi Yao.

The currently most outstanding existences among the Fengnei Sect disciples of the Purple Essence Peak.

And the ones with the highest level of discussion within the inner sect.

"Two senior brothers, you've arrived!"

A disciple of the Purple Essence Peak immediately stepped forward, obviously somewhat acquainted with the two Shi brothers.

The disciple briefly explained.

But made the situation clear.

"Gao Jie spiritual weapon."

Excitement surfaced in Shi Yao's large eyes. "Brother, aren't you missing an axe?"

"Hmm, you're also missing a great hammer."

Shi Guang nodded, while looking at the spiritual weapon on the grass not far away. "It seems everything we want is inside."

"Then I'll go first."

Shi Yao was eager to try.

"No, I'll go first."

Shi Guang pressed his single palm down on Shi Yao's shoulder. "Mother said that when we're out, as the older brother, I must go first in all matters."

"Alright."

Shi Yao was somewhat unhappy, but upon hearing the word "Mother," he still let his head droop.

Shi Guang began walking toward the beast.

This scene made all the disciples become excited.

Actually, within the inner sect.

The reputation of the two Shi brothers was far higher than Duan Hun's.

There were three reasons.

First, the physique of the two brothers; just looking at them showed they were extraordinary.

Second, the two brothers frequently entered the Mission Hall and appeared often, whereas other geniuses were mostly reclusive.

Third, there were previously rumors that the two brothers possessed extraordinary talent and had already been noticed by a great figure of the Purple Essence Peak.

"Senior Brother Shi, defeat this beast!"

"Correct, how dare it look down on us!"

The crowd immediately shouted.........

Especially the disciples of the Purple Essence Peak, who were almost hoarse from screaming.

With that look from the beast, the point of conflict among those present also changed.

Originally, such a struggle for treasure would have been a conflict between the various veins.

But now it had become a conflict between the inner sect and the beast.

——

Shi Guang walked forward.

He took off his upper garment as well.

Revealing his burly body.

Filled with a sense of oppression.

At the same time, the color of his skin was slowly changing, even taking on a lime-white hue.

And the beast, which had originally been sitting on the ground, seemed to sense something.

It actually stood up.

Only in its eyes did a spark of interest appear.

"Human... bloodline..."

The beast spoke for the first time.

But its speech was extremely awkward, as if just learning.

"It can actually speak."

Shi Guang was greatly surprised.

He appeared tall and imposing, with a mature face.

In truth, he was just like his younger brother Shi Yao.

He was only eight years old this year.

His IQ was slightly higher than his brother's, but his understanding of the world was still narrow, requiring time to learn.

In his mind, how could a beast speak like a human?

And what surprised him most was:

The beast had seen through his bloodline at a single glance.

He remembered his mother saying before they left: conceal the bloodline, never reveal it unless utterly trusted.

So he and his brother had always hidden it.

Yet this beast had seen through it.

"Want... a spirit weapon... to defeat me."

The beast did not answer, but pointed at Shi Guang.

At the same time, it took its first deep, long breath.

The next instant, its body swelled abruptly to thirty meters, every hair like iron, especially its arms, nearly dragging to the ground.

Extremely thick.

Merely imagining being struck by its fist made one's scalp tingle!

"Good!"

Seeing the beast's transformation, Shi Guang felt no fear at all; instead, his face lit up with intense excitement.

This was battle lust surging from his bloodline!

Stone Person bloodline, supreme body refinement!

He loved nothing more than close-quarters hand-to-hand combat!
