Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 286 An Hao's Second Battle
Shi Hao's gaze wandered around the academy, sensing the strong cultivation atmosphere and ancient aura.

Tianxian Academy truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred place with a long history; every corner exudes a unique charm.

Not only are there clusters of buildings, but there are also many sacred mountains shrouded in auspicious energy, and even a great river flows through the academy, with wisps of white mist flowing over them. These are not water vapor, but rather the condensed essence of heaven and earth.

Half mountain, half city, the scenery is absolutely stunning!
Suddenly, Shi Hao noticed a lively place where many students were heading.

"That place is..."

Looking at that place, Shi Hao's nose twitched slightly as he smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine and the mouthwatering fragrance of delicious food.

“What a great place!”

In an instant, Shi Hao's eyes widened as he saw the crystal-clear jade marrow soup, the fragrant lingzhi dew, the golden dragon scale fish slices, and the sizzling black qilin beast leg.

The delicious food emitted an enticing aroma, making one want to devour it.

"Forget it, business matters."

Looking at the delicious food, Shi Hao swallowed hard, but in the end he decided to go find the Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus Pool first.

Despite making this decision, he walked very slowly, turning back every few steps, reluctant to leave.

"Little brother, you're here."

But he had only taken a few steps when a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, causing him to stop in his tracks.

Shi Hao turned around and saw a handsome young man carrying a pot of spirit wine walking towards him with a bright smile.

It’s Shi An!

Upon seeing Shi An, Shi Hao was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

In response to Shi Hao's question, Shi An smiled first, then raised the wine pot in his hand and said, "Isn't it because your sister-in-law and Ling'er went to the Tribulation Lotus Pool to take a bath? I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd come out to buy some food and then go to the Supreme Dojo to find you."

Then, Shi An changed the subject, saying, "I didn't expect you to come before I even got there."

"Did my sister-in-law and Ling'er go to the Tribulation-Transcending Divine Lotus Pool for a bath?"

Upon hearing Shi An say that Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi were currently bathing in the Tribulation Lotus Pool, Shi Hao was immediately taken aback.

He now seriously suspects that Qi Daolin's hasty urging of him to enter the Tribulation Transcending Divine Lotus Pool was premeditated, knowing that there was "beautiful scenery" to enjoy at this moment.

The thought of Huo Ling'er and other beauties bathing in the Tribulation Lotus Pool made Shi Hao feel a surge of heat rush to his head, but he did not lose his mind, because not only Huo Ling'er was there, but also his sister-in-law, Yun Xi!
If he were to accidentally stumble upon his sister-in-law taking a bath, he feared he would be beaten to death by his brother Xiao An.

Thinking of that scene, Shi Hao couldn't help but shudder, which made Shi An a little puzzled: "Little brother, what's wrong? Did the training get too tough and you got injured?"

Shi An was puzzled, but he directly placed his hand on Shi Hao and used his Jumang divine power to heal him.

"Buzz!"

A burst of brilliant green light flashed by, and Jumang's divine power instantly enveloped Shi Hao, making him feel a sense of comfort throughout his body. His bones emitted subtle popping sounds, and the hidden injuries in his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his body, which had been somewhat agitated due to his wild thoughts, quickly calmed down.

After a long while, the greenery disappeared, and Shi Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his aura becoming increasingly powerful.

He stretched his muscles and felt full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

"Brother, your Mang Divine Power is becoming more and more exquisite. I feel like I'm in the best possible condition right now," Shi Hao said with a smile, his eyes filled not only with gratitude but also with a hint of eagerness.

He felt better than ever before, and perhaps he could finally defeat his older brother who had always been superior to him.

After all, the two of them are now at the peak of the Venerable Realm, and he recently gained a great increase in strength by obtaining a celestial artifact—the Thunder Emperor Battle Armor!
The moment the thought arose, Shi Hao's fighting spirit surged forth like a volcano about to erupt.

Sensing the intense fighting spirit emanating from Shi Hao, Shi An couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a playful expression: "Little brother, judging from your expression, do you perhaps wish to spar with your elder brother?"

"Right on my mind!"

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Shi Hao responded without hesitation, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.

"Haha, alright! Let's find an open space and have a good spar."

Upon seeing this, Shi An immediately burst into laughter, then turned and walked out of the Heavenly Immortal Academy.

The battle between the two would surely cause a great disturbance, and if it took place inside the academy, it would have an unknown impact. Therefore, Shi An chose to set the battlefield outside the academy.

Similarly, upon seeing Shi An's actions, Shi Hao instantly understood and followed suit.

Soon, the two brothers arrived at a desolate place thousands of miles away from the Heavenly Immortal Academy, which was the place where Shi Hao had been practicing the Eight or Nine Heavens Technique these past few days.

This wasteland is extremely vast, with no one around. The howling wind blows and stirs up sand and dust, making it a perfect battlefield.

Shi Hao and Shi An stood facing each other, their eyes meeting. Their auras were restrained, yet an invisible pressure caused the sand within a hundred feet to suspend in mid-air, forming a vacuum zone.

The fighting spirit clashed fiercely in the air, as if sparks could fly.

"Younger brother, you make the first move. Let your older brother see just how much you've grown these past few days."

Shi An crossed his arms, looking relaxed, but his eyes were very serious. Through the treatment he had just given the other party, he was certain that Shi Hao could now be called an ancient freak.

"Alright! Brother, then I won't be polite!"

Shi Hao showed no mercy. With a loud shout, the divine light within his body instantly boiled and surged like a raging tide.

Then, he flashed and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Shi An. At the same time, he clenched his right fist, and lightning crackled on his fist. It was the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques he had just learned!
"boom!"

Shi Hao's punch, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, slammed fiercely towards Shi An. Wherever the fist passed, the space seemed to distort, emitting bursts of explosions.

However, Shi An remained calm in the face of Shi Hao's fierce punch. He shifted his feet slightly and his figure flashed like a ghost, easily avoiding the fierce attack.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed his fingers together as a sword and swung it lightly.

"Shh!"

Instantly, a dazzling sword light, like a cascading silver river, burst forth from his fingertips, traversing the sky and slashing towards Shi Hao with a chilling sword intent.

The sword energy was like a dragon, entwined with the illusory brilliance of fading stars, as if it could cleave the heavens and earth!
Feeling the power of this move, Shi Hao immediately took a heavy step and soared into the air, instantly switching his Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique to the Kunpeng Technique.

"Ow!"

With a deafening roar, an ancient Kunpeng suddenly appeared in the void, its wings spreading out and turning the sand and dust into dozens of tornadoes, which crashed into Shi An with terrifying heavenly might.
