My brother is Shi Hao

The intense pain came unexpectedly, like a raging fire igniting within their bodies, burning their meridians, bones, and even their souls. Shi Yi groaned, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He gritted his teeth, trying to control the raging spiritual energy within him. Meanwhile, Shi Hao's condition was not optimistic either. His face was pale, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he would faint at any moment.

"What's going on?" Senior Brother Li heard the noise and rushed over immediately. Seeing the miserable state of the two people, he was immediately horrified. "What happened to you?"

Shi Yi endured the severe pain and said intermittently: "I...we are fine, it's just...it's just that something went wrong in the training..."

Seeing this, Senior Brother Li did not dare to delay and immediately ran to find Elder Qingfeng.

Elder Qingfeng hurried over and checked on Shi Yi and Shi Hao. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is the backlash from awakening your spiritual roots. You are still young, and forcing your spiritual roots to awaken has placed a huge burden on your bodies."

"Then...what should we do?" Ling'er asked anxiously.

Elder Qingfeng sighed and said, "We can only recuperate slowly, there's no need to rush."

In the days that followed, Shi Yi and Shi Hao fell into a coma. Their bodies were extremely weak and needed a long period of rest. Elder Qingfeng, Senior Brother Li, and Ling'er took turns caring for them, making medicine for them, feeding them, and wiping their bodies, taking care of them in every possible way.

Shi Yi was in a daze and felt someone calling his name softly. He tried hard to open his heavy eyelids and saw Ling'er's concerned eyes.

"You're awake?" Ling'er asked in surprise. "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Yi shook his head and said weakly: "I'm fine, just... just a little tired."

"Just rest assured, I'll take care of you here." Ling'er said gently.

Shi Yi closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and care around him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that although he and Shi Hao had lost their loved ones, they had found a new home here.

Under the careful care of the Wanjian Sect, Shi Yi and Shi Hao's bodies gradually recovered, but they all knew that the sequelae of awakening their spiritual roots had not been completely eliminated. They needed to practice harder to fully control their own power.

Late at night, Shi Yi lay in bed, his mind replaying the scene of awakening his spiritual roots. The excruciating pain seemed to still be tormenting his body. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared before his eyes, and an ancient and mysterious voice echoed in his ears... The ancient voice was deep and distant, as if it came from the ancient times, carrying the vicissitudes of time and majesty. It recounted the origin of the double pupils, the supreme power contained in these eyes, and secrets forgotten by history... Shi Yi was immersed in it, mesmerized, as if he had touched another world, a world full of divine power and legend.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light gradually dissipated, and the ancient voice faded into the distance. Shi Yi suddenly woke up, the scene from his dream still vividly imprinted in his mind. He subconsciously circulated his spiritual energy and was surprised to find that the once violent spiritual energy had become incredibly docile, like a tamed beast, obediently obeying his commands.

He tried to control the power of his pupils, and the scenery before him instantly magnified, even the veins of distant leaves becoming clearly visible. Even more surprising, he could even see through some simple formations, understanding their mysteries. This sense of control was unprecedented!

Meanwhile, Shi Hao's recovery had also made astonishing progress. His once pale complexion had regained its rosy glow, and his body was filled with strength. The power of the Supreme Bone surged through him, emitting a powerful aura of life.

However, this increase in strength did not come without a price. Shi Hao found that he often fell into a deep sleep, and each time he woke up, he would have a severe headache, as if an invisible force was impacting his sea of consciousness.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Shi Yi noticed Shi Hao's abnormality and asked worriedly.

Shi Hao shook his head, suppressing his discomfort and saying, "It's okay, I'm just... just a little tired, I want to rest for a while."

Shi Yi wanted to ask more, but he saw Shi Hao's eyelids had already drooped shut, and his breathing had become even and long. He sighed helplessly, burying his worries in his heart.

Late at night, Shi Yi sat cross-legged on his bed, recalling the words he had heard in his dream, and repeatedly trying to control the power of his double pupils. He had a vague feeling that the secret of the double pupils was far more than this, and what he had touched was only the tip of the iceberg.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the sleeping Shi Hao, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch Shi Hao, but stopped in mid-air.

"Brother..." He murmured softly, "Can we... really control this power..."

Elder Qingfeng looked at the two children before him, feeling a mixture of emotions. Shi Yi's body was overflowing with spiritual energy, and a faint divine light shone from his open double pupils, showing the beginnings of cultivation. Meanwhile, Shi Hao, despite his rosy complexion, had a lingering trace of fatigue between his brows. It was clear that the burden of the Supreme Bone far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

"Do you know that while awakening your spiritual roots is a blessing, it also comes with risks?" Elder Qingfeng said in a heavy tone, "Gaining power doesn't happen overnight. Rushing for quick success will only backfire."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi recalled the warning of the ancient voice in his dream. He felt a chill in his heart, and he restrained the sharpness in his eyes. He said respectfully, "Disciple will remember the elder's teachings."

Shi Hao also forced himself to cheer up and nodded in response: "I will practice hard and live up to the elders' expectations."

"Good children." Elder Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction. "You must remember that the key to cultivation is persistence and balance. Don't be impatient or reckless, and don't be swallowed by power." He pulled out two ancient books from his arms and handed them to Shi Yi and Shi Hao respectively. "These two books contain the experience gained from my many years of cultivation. I hope you will study them carefully and don't slack off."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao solemnly took the book and bowed deeply to Elder Qingfeng. They understood that this was not only a method for practicing, but also the elder's earnest expectations for the younger generation.

As night fell, Shi Yi flipped through the book in his hands. The pages were yellowing, emitting a faint scent of ink. The exercises described in the book were profound and abstruse, far beyond the basic techniques he had previously practiced. As he studied, he tried to integrate the book's content with his own cultivation experience, striving to find a breakthrough.

In the next room, Shi Hao sat cross-legged on his bed, channeling the power of the Supreme Bone. However, every time he tried to mobilize more power, a sharp pain would pierce his brain, forcing him to stop practicing. He knew this was a side effect of the Supreme Bone's awakening. Only through continuous practice could he ultimately master this powerful force.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Shi Yi pushed the door open and saw Shi Hao sweating profusely. He couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Shi Hao forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, I'm just practicing."

Shi Yi walked to Shi Hao, gently pressed his shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, we can't go on like this."

A hint of worry flashed across Shi Yi's pupils. He keenly sensed that Shi Hao's condition was worse than it appeared. "Brother, the power of the Supreme Bone is indeed formidable, but we must use it within our means. We still have time, so there's no need to rush."

Shi Hao took a deep breath and nodded. He knew Shi Yi was right. Ever since awakening the Supreme Bone, he felt as if a ferocious beast resided within him, ready to devour him if he wasn't careful. He had to find a balance to truly master this power.

"How about this, brother, let's start with the basics." Shi Yi said, pulling out two bluestones from under the bed, "Let's practice controlling spiritual energy first to consolidate our foundation."

Shi Hao felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at Shi Yi's serious expression. Ever since Shi Yi arrived at the Wanjian Sect, he no longer felt lonely and had someone to rely on on his path of cultivation. He took the bluestone and nodded solemnly.

However, just as they were about to begin a new round of training, a rapid bell rang out from within the Wanjian Sect, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ringing of three bells means that the sect has encountered a major crisis!

Shi Yi and Shi Hao's expressions changed and they stood up at the same time.

"What happened?" Shi Hao's heart tightened and a feeling of unease surged in his heart.

Almost at the same time, the door was pushed open and a figure ran in in a panic.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, something bad has happened!" The person who came was Brother Li, the eldest disciple of Elder Qingfeng. He was sweating profusely and looked panicked. "Sect... Sect..."

"Calm down and speak slowly!" Shi Yi said in a deep voice, with a sharp light shining in his pupils.

Senior Brother Li took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "The sect... was attacked! There are assassins..."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the window, accompanied by a slight sound of breaking through the air, and headed straight for Shi Yi and Shi Hao's room.

"Be careful!" Shi Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pulled Shi Hao behind him. At the same time, the spiritual energy in his body instantly circulated to its extreme...
