My brother is Shi Hao

Chapter 40: Glorious inheritance, the dawn of a new beginning

As night fell, the stars twinkled, and the Wanjian Sect's martial arts arena was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Amidst the deafening sound of drums and music, a grand celebration ceremony began.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao, clad in their brand-new chief disciple uniforms, walked side by side at the front of the group. Disciples along the way cast admiring glances at them, whispering and praising them. While they felt this honor, their hearts also strengthened their resolve to shoulder the responsibility.

At the celebration, the head disciple and the elders toasted them one by one, their words filled with hope and encouragement. Shi Yi, cup in hand, gazed upon the bustling scene, his heart remarkably calm. Becoming the chief disciple brought greater responsibilities and challenges; he would have to work even harder to live up to their expectations.

Shi Hao, standing nearby, seemed somewhat excited. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, drawing cheers from the crowd. For him, the status of Chief Disciple was not only an honor, but also an incentive. He longed to become even stronger, to fight alongside Shi Yi and safeguard the glory of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

After the celebration, Shi Yi and Shi Hao returned to their quarters. Without wasting any time, they immediately began studying the jade slips given to them by the sect leader. The slips contained the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's signature technique, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect." This sword technique was so profound and powerful that only the chief disciples throughout the ages were qualified to practice it.

Shi Yi sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated, immersing his mind in the jade slip. Images emerged in his mind: a white-robed swordsman holding a long sword, soaring through the air, with thousands of sword energies pouring down like a meteor shower, crushing everything in his path, unstoppable.

Shi Hao, meanwhile, held a wooden sword in hand, practicing the sword moves recorded in the jade slips in the courtyard. His nimble form and sharp swordsmanship showed him to be a true beginner, yet he had already demonstrated extraordinary talent.

In addition to practicing "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin", Shi Yi and Shi Hao also took on the responsibility of teaching other disciples. They shared all the experience and skills they had learned in the competition and patiently guided each disciple.

"Brother Shi Yi, do you think I used the 'Green Dragon Claw' move correctly?" a disciple asked humbly.

Shi Yi observed his movements carefully and gave him some pointers: "Your control of strength is good, but your attack speed is still a little slow. You need to be faster so that you can catch your opponent off guard."

Under the careful guidance of Shi Yi and Shi Hao, the disciples of Wanjian Sect became more enthusiastic about their cultivation and their strength improved by leaps and bounds. The entire sect was filled with vitality and vigor.

However, just as Shi Yi and Shi Hao were immersed in their training and teaching their disciples, a pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows. Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao stood side by side in the distance, their gazes complex and filled with mixed emotions...

After the competition, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao were left feeling sullen. Once the most dazzling disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, they found it difficult to accept that Shi Yi and Shi Hao had surpassed them. However, they weren't narrow-minded. After calming down, they realized their own shortcomings and decided to put aside their grudges and humbly seek guidance from Shi Yi and Shi Hao.

Early that morning, Shi Yi and Shi Hao were practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena when Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao approached. "Junior Brother Shi Yi, Junior Brother Shi Hao, we'd like to learn a few moves from you," Senior Brother Zhang said sincerely.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao stopped what they were doing. Shi Yi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhang, you are too kind. We are just learning from each other and making progress together."

So, in the days that followed, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao often asked Shi Yi and Shi Hao for advice on swordsmanship. Shi Yi and Shi Hao were not shy about sharing their understanding and insights into "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin" and offered suggestions for improvement based on their shortcomings.

During a practice session, Senior Sister Zhao couldn't quite master the "Meteor Chasing the Moon" move from "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin." Shi Hao, noticing this, walked over to her and patiently explained, "Senior Sister Zhao, this move, 'Meteor Chasing the Moon,' requires the perfect combination of speed and power. You need to rapidly circulate your Qi while simultaneously concentrating your strength on the tip of your sword..."

Shi Hao demonstrated as he spoke, and Senior Sister Zhao watched intently, constantly trying. Finally, after practicing again and again, she successfully performed "Meteor Chasing the Moon." The sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, with astonishing power.

"Great, I finally succeeded!" Senior Sister Zhao shouted excitedly, with a joyful smile on her face.

Shi Yi came over, patted her on the shoulder, and encouraged her: "Senior sister, you are very talented. As long as you practice hard, you will be able to reach a higher level in time."

With the help of Shi Yi and Shi Hao, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and their relationship became more harmonious. The atmosphere of the entire Wanjian Sect became more harmonious under the spirit of unity and mutual assistance.

However, just as they were preparing to face a new challenge, a mysterious visitor, dressed in a black robe and a conical hat, arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's mountain gate. He stood tall and straight, yet exuded a chilling aura, as if emanating from the Netherworld. He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of deep eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, "I bring news of a catastrophe about to sweep across the entire continent..."

The arrival of a mysterious visitor shattered the tranquility of the Wanjian Sect. The Sect Leader and the elders quickly gathered, listening attentively to his story. It turned out that the evil forces, dormant for years, were showing signs of resurgence, secretly gathering strength and plotting to unleash another bloody storm.

"This is a serious matter. We must get to the bottom of this as soon as possible!" the Sect Leader said solemnly. Shi Yi and Shi Hao volunteered to form an elite team to investigate the authenticity of this news.

After some deliberation, the team's members were finalized: in addition to Shi Yi and Shi Hao, they would be led by the experienced Elder Li, as well as the exceptionally capable Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Zhao. These five would represent the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and embark on this journey filled with uncertainty.

On the eve of their departure, Shi Yi and Shi Hao arrived at the forbidden area in the back mountains to consult a Grand Elder who had been in seclusion for many years. The Grand Elder, with his youthful features and the air of an immortal, slowly opened his eyes after hearing their purpose. A glint of light flashed in his cloudy gaze, "The resurgence of evil forces is not without reason. You must be extremely cautious on this journey and do not underestimate the enemy!"

He waved his hand, and two golden rays of light flew into the brows of Shi Yi and Shi Hao, transforming into two ancient runes. "These two runes are the most precious treasures of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect. They can save your lives in a critical moment," the Supreme Elder said solemnly. "Remember, your own safety is paramount!"

The next morning, the five of them were ready to go, and with many disciples watching them, they set out on their journey. Following the clues provided by the mysterious visitor, they tracked down the evil forces along the way. However, just as they were about to reach their destination, they discovered that what awaited them was an elaborate trap...

"It seems that we have all been used..." Elder Li looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face and a cold tone.
