Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Dai Hao rubbed his temples, looking somewhat annoyed.

What's all this?
Ever since Xu Jiawei seized military power under the pressure of Shrek Academy, he has been hindered at every turn. In order to protect his family, he has been forced to endure and has been working hard. He feels that he has aged decades in just a few years.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the deserted White Tiger family, the Star Crown Sect, representing the Star Luo royal family, is thriving.

The Star Crown Sect and the Spirit Pagoda have reached an important cooperative relationship, which has caused the Spirit Pagoda's influence to permeate every corner of Star Luo City, making people feel uneasy.

In fact, Dai Hao did not support the Spirit Pagoda.

He could see that the Spirit Pagoda had grand ambitions, especially that Soul Contract technology, which was practically digging up the roots of the White Tiger Clan!

It's a long-standing unspoken rule in the world of Soul Masters!
What does it mean that a spirit can assist a spirit master in selecting their own spirit skills?
Then wouldn't the combination of soul skills that the White Tiger family has inherited for tens of thousands of years have no advantage at all, and even face the danger of being eliminated?
Even with Dai Hao's deep concern, it was to no avail.

Let alone him after losing power, even if the once spirited imperial hero personally stepped forward to resist the Spirit Pagoda, it would be difficult to defy the inevitable trend.

Furthermore, the Spirit Pagoda has been heavily promoting free awakening.

The common people are comfortable, but another small group of people are suffering.

The idea of ​​free awakening inherently puts the nobility and the empire at odds, just like the Spirit Hall back then.

The three great empires will never allow another Spirit Hall to appear!
Unfortunately, the Star Luo royal family sided with the Spirit Pagoda.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?
Xu Jiawei is a complete tyrant!
However, the facts proved otherwise.

Xu Jiawei was actually right.

In just a few short years, the Spirit Pagoda has gained the power to sweep across the continent.

Even a powerful empire like the Sun Moon Empire is no match for the Spirit Pagoda, let alone the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Dai Hao had thought that by gathering the power of the three kingdoms of Douluo, there might still be a sliver of a chance to turn the tide, but in the end, he lost so completely.

Oh well, it's fate.

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength; when the time is far off, even heroes are not free.

Dai Hao returned home feeling resentful.

And my wife is such a worry.

Dai Hao even had a bad feeling, as if he had overlooked something important.

But Xu Jiawei was already planning to lead the whole country to surrender, so how could anything unexpected happen?

I haven't offended anyone, have I?

Looking at the beautiful woman who had fainted in his arms, exuding a mature charm and outstanding appearance, Dai Hao's brows gradually furrowed.

“Father, you’re back…” Dai Yueheng, who was standing not far away, quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.

Looking at his father, Dai Yueheng's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

This former hero of the Star Luo Empire, the invincible marshal of the empire, and the titled Douluo of the White Tiger Martial Soul, was also the goal that he had always looked up to and tried to catch up with.

But now they are so decadent.

As expected, they eventually had to surrender.

Dai Yueheng sighed inwardly.

Although he was stuck at home, he was able to access the internet, and combined with his previous experience in the Soul Master Competition, Dai Yueheng believed that he still had some understanding of the situation on the mainland.

With Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda supporting the Sun Moon Empire, and in conjunction with the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool system, the Sun Moon Empire, having completed its high-end combat capabilities, is definitely not something that the Douluo Three Kingdoms can contend with.

This is the difference in hard power!
Even if you were prepared, there was nothing you could do.

Therefore, long before his father went to war, Dai Yueheng reminded Dai Hao to be extremely careful and to prioritize his own life.

As long as you're still alive, there's always a chance to start over!
Fortunately, my father, who was always upright and incorruptible, listened to my advice.

It's a pity about those loyal White Tiger guards.

"Yueheng, perhaps you are right."

Looking at his beloved son, Dai Hao couldn't help but shed tears as he recalled the scene of his hasty escape.

In that short battle lasting less than an hour, his thousands of elite White Tiger guards suffered heavy casualties. To cover his retreat, his old brothers who had followed him for many years went through fire and water one by one.

Dai Hao saw it all and felt deeply pained.

He originally intended to turn back without hesitation, to lead his comrades-in-arms to live and die together!

But in the end, he didn't even have the courage to fight to the death.

Because he was already the only remaining Title Douluo of the White Tiger lineage, if he died on the battlefield at that time, it would be all over.

Given the current situation where the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is being targeted by Xu Jiawei, it is certainly unable to withstand such a blow.

If anything were to happen to him, the White Tiger lineage, which has been passed down for ten thousand years, would perish at his hands.

This was something Dai Hao found utterly unacceptable.

Therefore, he had no choice but to make a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes, abandon the White Tiger Guards, and survive alone.

Thinking about this, Dai Hao felt relieved, but also filled with regret.

It's all my fault!
Before the match started, he had no idea that the gap in skill level was so large.

Only after the fight actually broke out did Dai Hao realize that he was just a frog in a well, someone who had been eliminated by the times.

And then there's Huo Yuhao, who just put pressure on the royal family.

You should have told me you were this good earlier!

If you had told me earlier that your strength was not only that of a Limit Douluo, but even comparable to a god, then what was the point of me resisting?!

What a poisonous thought!
Dai Hao clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, before finally relaxing them helplessly.

A hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes.

Perhaps this is the best possible outcome.

At least, Dai Yueheng is still around.

We can only place our hopes on the next generation.

He knew very well that after this battle, with his Dao heart shattered, he had no possibility of making any further progress in his cultivation.

"Work hard, we'll be counting on you from now on. I'm at ease entrusting the White Tiger Clan to you."

Dai Hao nodded encouragingly, said nothing more, and then led the Duchess back to her room to rest.

"Okay, Father!"

Dai Yueheng stood at attention, thinking to himself.

Since relying on one's father to become a dragon is not an option, one must rely on oneself.

Now, with the help of the Soul Spirit, it's not impossible for me to reach the realm of Super Douluo, or even Limit Douluo!
This is the White Tiger Martial Soul!
So what if we lose the advantage of having a strong soul skill configuration?

As one of the top-tier beast spirits, the White Tiger spirit has earned its formidable reputation, and this is no exaggeration.

For a moment, a strong sense of confidence rose in Dai Yueheng's eyes.

Isn't it just surrendering and bowing?

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm!
After carrying the Duchess to the bed, Dai Hao looked at his wife, with whom he had shared so much, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder.

When he was diligently guarding the frontier, he still had a somewhat idealized view of his wife.

But during these days together after his downfall, Dai Hao belatedly realized his wife's many shortcomings.

Hypocritical, yet self-righteous.

He has absolutely no tolerance for anyone else.

This is hardly the behavior of a legal wife.

The maid he once loved had died, and his concubine had been forced away by the Duchess.

If Dai Hao still can't perceive the connection between the two, then he's lived in vain all these years.

The Duchess explained that Huo Yun'er suffered from a congenital disease that was incurable.

Dai Hao was skeptical about this.

"Hmm... Huo Yun'er?"

Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Dai Hao's head, and he finally remembered what he had overlooked.

"Huo Yun'er, Huo Yuhao, could it be..."

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

Putting aside whether it's even a coincidence, it's impossible for it to happen.

Because of age and ability!
Dai Hao had only recently advanced to the Title Douluo level after so much cultivation, while Huo Yuhao was already a Limit Douluo. If the other party truly possessed his bloodline, how could he have reached this level in less than twenty years?!

Even if one started cultivating from the womb, it couldn't be this outrageous!

Dai Hao laughed at his own delusions, shaking his head to dismiss the meaningless idea.

"uh-huh……"

Soon, the Duchess slowly awoke, still muttering, "Hua Bin, my son, I'm so sorry..."

It seemed she was having a dream; at this moment, the middle-aged woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her haggard appearance made her look pitiful.

Dai Hao frowned and said coldly, "Even now, you're still thinking about your good son?"

Upon hearing this, the Duchess, belatedly realizing what was happening, choked for a moment before finally whispering in protest, "But he's still your son, and he's already like that..."

"Didn't that guy bring it on himself?"

Dai Hao snorted coldly and criticized without mercy: "You only lost to your peers. You want to drop out of school because of this setback, and even go astray for strength, falling into the trap of becoming an evil soul master. I think you are just spoiling your children!"

The more I talked about it, the angrier I got.

Not only did she have some personality flaws, but the Duchess couldn't even teach her own son properly!
It is said that a tiger father will not have a dog son.

Aside from his exceptional talent, Dai Huabin's past performance was nothing like that of one's own son!

If it weren't for the trouble caused by Dai Huabin's assassination of Shrek's teacher, how could Shrek have used this opportunity to exert pressure?

Before Dai Huabin defected from his family, he even kidnapped a direct descendant of the Zhu family, which caused the relationship between the two families to gradually cool down.

This is why the White Tiger Clan is now isolated and helpless.

This was the crucial turning point in the family's decline!

What an unfilial son!

Dai Hao wished he could go back to that day and just shoot his good-for-nothing son against the wall with a shudder.

"You've disappointed me greatly!" Dai Hao sneered.

Upon hearing this, the Duchess's heart trembled, her lips trembled a few times, but she said nothing more, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Cry, what are you crying for? Where were you before?!"

Seeing the Duchess's pale face and tearful appearance, Dai Hao's heart softened somewhat, and he comforted her:

"Forget it, we still have Yueheng here. As for Dai Huabin... let's just pretend that rebellious son is dead. It has nothing to do with us. Let's not get into trouble, okay?"

"……it is good."

The Duchess nodded obediently, like a quail.

She actually knows what's important.

However, looking at Huo Yuhao's achievements, seeing him rise from someone as insignificant as grass to such a position today, even the White Tiger Duke has to look up to him.

The Duchess was so jealous.

Jealousy! Envy! Resentment!

Why, why isn't this my own son?

That guy wasn't even worthy of carrying Dai Huabin's shoes back then, but now things have completely reversed.

Meanwhile, the Duchess was terrified!
She was terrified of Huo Yuhao's retaliation.

Just thinking about such a possibility, and imagining her miserable future, made the Duchess tremble and unable to eat or sleep.

It felt as if a sword of judgment was constantly hanging over my head, getting closer and closer.

The White Tiger family being targeted is the first step, followed by Dai Hao's failure, and then, soon it will be my turn!

But there was nothing she could do about it.

All she can do now is pray that the other party will forgive her for her past mistakes.

While Huo Yun'er's death was certainly her fault, was Dai Hao, that scumbag, without any problem?
"what!"

A knocking sounded at the door, startling the Duchess into screaming.

Seeing his wife's frightened state, Dai Hao, who was already used to it, sighed deeply.

He could tell that his partner was hiding something from him, but Dai Hao had no intention of asking further.

Now that things have come to this, the key is for the couple to support each other.

No matter what, she is still his wife.

Even the matter of Yun'er and the concubine was no longer of concern to Dai Hao. As for other matters, with him, a Title Douluo, backing them up, what was there to fear?
"What is it?" Dai Hao asked, looking at the person who had come.

Dai Yueheng hurriedly opened the door and came in.

“Father, it’s someone from the Spirit Pagoda.”

"What!?"

"what--"

Upon hearing such devastating news, the Duchess fainted again.

……

Star Luo City.

Northwest direction, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

As the most prestigious noble family in the entire Douluo Continent, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion covers an area of ​​several thousand acres, and its prosperity is in no way inferior to that of a normal city.

Huo Yuhao's feelings were somewhat complicated as he revisited the place.

The vast ducal mansion offered no refuge for him and his mother, leaving him only with cold memories.

Especially after Huo Yun'er's death, the oppression of Huo Yuhao by the people in the Duke's mansion intensified.

It's no wonder that Huo Gua's personality was extremely obsessive in the early stages of the original novel; such deep-seated hatred would be unbearable for anyone.

However, the ending was utterly ridiculous.

After experiencing the Valley of Love and Destiny, under the guidance of a certain god-king, Huo Gua in the original story not only let go of his hatred, but even changed his surname to Dai.

From then on, he became a loyal dog under the Tang family.

This makes Huo Gua's hatred seem like a joke.

but.

The revenge that Huo Gua couldn't get, he will now personally make up for!
When he was weak, Huo Yuhao did not rush to attack the White Tiger Duke's Mansion because of the threat from Tang Shenwang. He was just slowly boiling the frog in water to prevent the other party from becoming desperate and asking a god to possess him and drag his ancestor down with them.

Now that he possesses the strength to rival the gods, Huo Yuhao naturally wants to settle his personal grudges.

Just for the sake of my own thoughts being clear!

To borrow a famous saying from a certain god-king, all those who have insulted me and my mother are doomed to die!
The episode with the most accurate and well-chosen quotes from famous people!
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The Dai family of four should be all accounted for.

Even if Huo Yun'er never had the idea of ​​Huo Yuhao killing Dai Hao until her death, so what?

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my actions are righteous.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion.

This shows that Dai Hao had problems with his private life. After his affair was exposed, he pretended to love Huo Yun'er all along.

Is it true love?

Who are you kidding?!

They were simply afraid of Huo Gua's strength.

I really like this saying: You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die.

Of course, Huo Yuhao understood as well.

Aside from love and hate, the root of all evil lies in the aristocratic system.

At the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Maids and servants were the lowest class of people.

If a maid becomes pregnant with a child of the younger generation of the Dai family, and the child inherits the White Tiger's martial spirit and has outstanding talent, she will naturally be valued by the White Tiger family. She will rise in status through her son and achieve great success.

However, if the child's martial soul is not good and their talent is trash, then it's a different story. Unless the maid is taken as a concubine by the man and is cherished by her husband, her status is basically the same.

But in the Douluo Continent, such "good men" are few and far between.

Just like what happened to Huo Yun'er... (End of Chapter)
