Perfect: Become Shi Yi's younger brother at the beginning

Chapter 16 Mysterious Wooden Box
Shi Chen didn't know what happened in the wilderness. He walked out of the hall and happened to see Shi Yi practicing magic outside the hall.

"Brother." As if sensing something, Shi Yi stopped practicing and turned to look at Shi Chen.

Shi Chen nodded in response.

"Let's have a fight." Shi Yi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and his gaze was as sharp as a torch.

Hearing this, Shi Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ever since he lost to him in their first sparring match, Shi Yi would look for him to spar whenever they were free.

"Okay." Seeing that he was eager to fight, Shi Chen had no choice but to agree. He came to an open space and stood opposite Shi Yi.

"Brother, be careful."

Shi Yi gave a reminder, divine light surged in his body, he clenched his right fist, and attacked Shi Chen like lightning.

Looking at the attacking Shi Yi, Shi Chen did not dare to be careless. He saw the runes under his feet flashing, and he took a step forward, dodging Shi Yi's attack exactly.

Seeing that his attack missed, Shi Yi did not stop at all. Runes emerged from his right leg and swept towards Shi Chen fiercely, stirring up a gust of wind.

Shi Chen's eyes flashed, he raised his right hand and suddenly grabbed Shi Yi's right leg. Shi Yi felt a powerful force clamping his right leg tightly.

"Hmph!" Shi Yi growled, his blood surging throughout his body as he tried to break free from Shi Chen's restraints.

Shi Chen felt the force coming from his hand, and he swung his right arm hard, and Shi Yi flew backwards.

Shi Yi adjusted his body shape in the air and landed steadily, leaving two deep pits on the ground.

"What a strong force." Feeling the numbness in his right leg, Shi Yi was shocked. He had no advantage in strength.

"Brother, be careful."

Runes flowed in Shi Chen's pupils, the divine chain of order emerged, and a ray of divine light shot out from his eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Yi did not dare to be careless. He exerted the power of his double pupils and also emitted a divine light.

The two divine lights collided in the air, causing a loud noise, and the void trembled and emitted light.

At the moment when the divine light dissipated, black and white appeared in Shi Chen's eyes, and the Order Divine Chain shone brightly. The black and white colors turned into a yin and yang fish, shuttling back and forth in the Divine Chain.

The Yin-Yang fish suddenly jumped out of its pupils, its body instantly grew huge, and it flew towards Shi Yi with a fierce momentum.

Shi Yi's face changed. Feeling the terrifying power contained in the Yin-Yang fish, he knew that he could not confront it head-on.

Runes flashed around him, and a magic trick was cast, condensing a silver screen in front of him, protecting him firmly.

The Yin-Yang fish hit the screen with a loud bang, and ripples appeared on the surface of the screen.

Shi Yi used all his strength to activate his magic, and runes around his body continued to flow into the screen. Finally, when the screen was about to shatter, the Yin-Yang fish gradually dispersed and turned into two gases, one black and one white, and dissipated in the air.

Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. His tense body relaxed slightly, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He knew that Shi Chen was holding back.

This Yin-Yang fish can even withstand Shi Ziling's attack for a moment, so how could it not break his magic?

"Brother, are you okay?" Shi Chen walked up and asked when he saw that Shi Yi had no intention of continuing.

"It's okay, brother. You are getting stronger and stronger. I have been left behind by you." Shi Yi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay and continued.

"Brother, there's no need to underestimate yourself. This is just a competition. You haven't tried your best, have you?" Shi Chen knew that both of them were holding back. He didn't use his Supreme Bone and Jiaozi magic, and he believed that Shi Yi was the same.

Shi Chen suddenly thought of a sentence said by Shi Hao in the original novel: The enemy defeated by me has never been regarded as my opponent. I will give you time to catch up until you are out of sight.

If he said this to Shi Hao after defeating him, he wondered what Shi Hao's expression would be. He began to look forward to it.

After the competition, Shi Yi said that he wanted to test his physical strength and left first.

Not long after Shi Yi left, Shi Yuan arrived. King Wu ordered him to bring some cultivation resources to Shi Chen and the others.

"Chen'er, it's time to give you this spear." Shi Yuan called Shi Chen and took out a spear, which was the spear that Shi Yuan threatened to give to Shi Chen when they first met.

"It has been with me for decades, through countless fierce battles and countless enemies killed. I hope it can help you in the future." Shi Yuan stroked the spear gently, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and said slowly.

Shi Chen took the spear, bowed to Shi Yuan, and said, "Thank you, Fifth Master."

Shi Yuan waved his hand, signaling Shi Chen not to be so polite. He pondered for a moment and took out an ancient wooden box.

The wooden box is engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"I stumbled upon this when I was young. Its material is very special. Although it's made of wood, its defensive power is astonishing. Even with my full strength, I couldn't damage it at all." Shi Yuan looked at the wooden box, a look of helplessness in his eyes. "I've been studying it for years, but have made no progress. I still can't open it. I'm giving this thing to you, hoping you can open it."

Shi Chen took the wooden box and felt a chill in his hand. He looked at the runes on the wooden box carefully. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen these runes somewhere before.

Shi Chen thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't remember where he had seen this rune.

"Humph!"

A dazzling light suddenly burst out from Shi Chen's eyes, black and white colors emerged, and circles of runes quickly emerged in his pupils.

The double pupils have the ability to see through illusions and look directly at the origin. He wants to use the power of the double pupils to see through the wooden box to see what is inside.

As the power of the double pupils continued to flow in, the runes on the surface of the wooden box suddenly shone brightly, as if responding to Shi Chen's prying.

"This..." Looking at the light emitted by the wooden box, Shi Yuan on the side couldn't help but be shocked. He had studied this wooden box for most of his life and there was no reaction at all. Now it was in Shi Chen's hands and it showed unusual movements.

Shi Chen is truly blessed by heaven, Shi Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In Shi Chen's eyes, the wooden box slowly turned into nothingness, and he saw the inside of the wooden box.

The inside of the wooden box was dark. When Shi Chen used his double pupils to their full potential, the darkness gradually blurred and his vision slowly became clear.

Suddenly, Shi Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, his pupils suddenly returned to normal, and his vision returned to reality.

"What's wrong, Chen'er?" Seeing that Shi Chen's face was not right, Shi Yuan asked hurriedly.

"Fifth Master, I'm fine, just a little overexerted." Shi Chen responded, suppressing the shock in his heart.

Although Shi Yuan had some doubts, he stopped asking when he saw that Shi Chen had no objection.

"Fifth Master, since there is nothing else to do, I will go practice first." At this moment, Shi Chen just wanted to find a quiet place to study the wooden box carefully, hoping that it was not an illusion just now.

Shi Chen returned to the room and used his double pupils to look at the wooden box again. Soon the runes on the wooden box began to emit a strange light again.

Shi Chen's gaze returned to the dark space. As his vision gradually became clearer, he saw the shocking scene again.

That's a pair of double pupils!
These double pupils were extremely similar to his own, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

When their eyes met, Shi Chen seemed to be trapped in an endless whirlpool. An inexplicable sense of familiarity and fear intertwined together, causing his heartbeat to suddenly accelerate.
