Chapter 413

To cultivate the Treasure Manual, one must complete the first volume before proceeding to the second.

The first volume serves as the foundation.

Without a solid foundation, further progress is impossible.

Completing the first volume means the two brothers have already formed their Star Bodies.

The Star Body, constructed from Star Power, possesses unparalleled defense, capable of withstanding even some weaker Heavenly-grade Martial Arts.

And when the second volume, the Yin-Yang Art, is reached.

It absorbs the powers of the Great Yin and the Great Yang.

Transforming into an even stronger Star Yin-Yang Body.

Its defense becomes even more monstrous!

Martial Arts of the same level would find it nearly impossible to break through its defense!

Unless there is some other enhancement, such as Sword Intent or a Sword Body.

"I must find a way to increase his favorability."

Meng Zhangqing's gaze shifted slightly.

First, I must obtain the first volume of the Treasure Manual.

"I told you so; Senior Brother Meng definitely prefers being called 'Senior Brother.' 'Junior Uncle' sounds so distant."

"We are friends!"

Shi Yao said, instantly overjoyed.

"Ding!"

"Shi Yao's favorability has increased to three stars!"

"Attributes available for selection."

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

Upon hearing this.

Meng Zhangqing was momentarily stunned.

What?

How did the favorability increase?

What did I do or say?

Meng Zhangqing quickly recalled the moment.

It seemed he had just said, "Just call me Senior Brother in private; there's no need for so many rules."

But could such words really increase favorability?

Isn't that too simple?

"Some time ago, Shi Yao often said that since Senior Brother Meng has become the Shao Sect and also a Junior Uncle, we might not meet again, and we would grow increasingly distant."

"Eventually, we would no longer be friends."

"Now it seems Senior Brother Meng is still the same Senior Brother Meng as before; he hasn't changed."

Shi Guang said with a smile.

I see.

Meng Zhangqing understood.

Unlike Shi Guang, Shi Yao is a person of relatively... well, simple intelligence.

In short.

He has the mindset of a child.

But it is normal, after all, he is only eight years old.

So for a child.

A friend remains a friend, unchanged by any external factors; this is something worth rejoicing over.

And therefore.

His favorability increased.

"Ding!"

"Shi Guang's favorability has increased to three stars!"

"Attributes available for selection!"

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

Causing Meng Zhangqing to be surprised once again.

Since Shi Guang is now far smarter than Shi Yao, increasing favorability with him should not be easy.

This was evident from the fact that only the system prompt regarding Shi Yao had been heard just now.

But unexpectedly.

The prompt for Shi Guang sounded shortly after.

Interesting.

A smile appeared on Meng Zhangqing's face.

To be honest, this is truly an unexpected joy.

Just now, he was still pondering how to increase favorability, yet a single sentence solved it.

Indeed.

One must maintain one's original intention; one should not forget one's past self simply because strength has grown and status has risen.

Becoming arrogant and overbearing.

He became one who looked down on everything.

Fortunately, he had always maintained his original mindset, without undergoing too many changes.

Otherwise, he would not only have missed today's unexpected gain.

He might also have lost two close friends.

"Rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, we will always be friends."

Meng Zhangqing raised his hand, clenched his fist, and extended it outward.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, then immediately excitedly raised their fists as well.

The three fists lightly touched.

It was as if a bond had been forged between them.

"Senior Brother Meng, come, sit on my shoulders."

Shi Yao pointed.

Given his current size, he could indeed easily accommodate Meng Zhangqing riding on him.

"Good."

Meng Zhangqing smiled and jumped up.

"Let's go!"

Shi Yao bent his legs slightly, then with a Boom, he soared into the air, leaping toward the ancient city.

In an instant, it felt like a meteor falling.

Fengling Ancient City.

It could be considered one of the more famous ancient cities within the borders of Tianyunzhou.

Because here, there existed a First-Rank power.

The Chen Family.

Its ancestor had stepped into the Life and Death Realm three hundred years ago.

Calculating the time, the Chen Family ancestor is now approaching old age.

The arrival of the Xuan Sect's cloud boat did not attract anyone's attention.

Because compared to Tianyunzhou, Tianlingzhou, whether in ranking or geographical location, was somewhat behind.

Therefore, the fame of the powers within it was also not high.

However, the appearance of the Shi brothers did attract a great deal of attention.

One by one, they exclaimed in amazement.

With such a size, could he truly be human?
