"What… is going on?"
That terrifying wave of soul power forced Dai Huabin to turn back, and then, under the shocked gazes of Dai Huabin and his guards, Huo Yuhao flapped the dragon wings behind him, his body shooting forward like a streak of deep blue light to arrive right in front of the foremost White Tiger Guard.
Lightning was not only destructive but also capable of boosting speed.
The slender yet thick dragon tail swept horizontally, slamming into the guard's chest.
Like hitting a baseball, following a crisp sound of cracking ribs, the guard flew backward at an even faster speed than he had entered, even knocking down another person.
Even without a soul ring, at only seven years old, the soul power cultivated by the "Spirit Ice Formula" over the past year had continuously nourished his body. Combined with that arguably overpowered, Dragon King-level martial soul, the Deep Blue Glazed Dragon, little Huo Yuhao's physical constitution was currently definitely not weaker than an attack-system Soul Elder.
So what if he had no combat experience? Combined with the two ultimate attributes of Ultimate Water and Ultimate Thunder, even if he was just flailing blindly, Huo Yuhao fighting this group of White Tiger Guards was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep—one slap per person.
This was the charm of stats.
Of the four White Tiger Guards who rushed in, two had already been knocked down by Huo Yuhao.
Little Yuhao dodged a White Tiger Guard's fist by sidestepping, a golden light flashing in his eyes, as he turned and threw a fist that similarly slammed into the guard's abdomen.
The tremendous force sent this White Tiger Guard straight into a spiraling ascent; the massive gap between commoners and soul masters was displayed vividly at this moment.
"This…"
Is this fucking seven years old?!
The last guard immediately lost his will to fight and turned around to run, but before he could even take two steps, Huo Yuhao caught up and kicked him in the butt.
He flew out of the firewood shed at a faster speed than he arrived, crashing clumsily to the ground face-first in front of Dai Huabin.
"..."
Dai Huabin looked down at the White Tiger Guard who had fallen at his feet, snorted coldly, and disdainfully stepped over his head as he walked toward Huo Yuhao.
"Useless trash! Can't even deal with a bastard..."
The powerful aura released by the White Tiger martial soul along with that yellow hundred-year soul ring immediately caused the surrounding White Tiger Guards to shudder subconsciously and instinctively back away from the aura that belonged to the king of beasts.
Dai Huabin was also a rare genius with level eight innate soul power. Under the guidance of the Duchess and through his own bitter cultivation, he had personally killed soul beasts at such a young age and had already obtained a hundred-year soul ring, reaching level fifteen.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had no change in expression, only his gaze grew colder.
In recent years, Dai Huabin had instigated his subordinates to bully their mother and son; Huo Yuhao had never forgotten this debt.
Dai Huabin looked at the dragon wings behind Huo Yuhao and smiled disdainfully: "Not the White Tiger martial soul... I knew you were a bastard! Your mother, that cheap woman, must have picked up some wild man by the roadside to birth you! Someone like you staying here truly pollutes the White Tiger Duke estate!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't be bothered to respond; he stepped forward, the eight dragon wings behind him flapping slightly, and appeared instantly in front of Dai Huabin.
Dark purple and deep blue enveloped that fist transformed into a dragon claw, slamming it heavily toward Dai Huabin's face.
"Huh??"
Dai Huabin, who hadn't even reacted, took Huo Yuhao's fist with his tough face, and his entire person flew backward, nosebleed spraying wildly in the air.
Although [Dragon] and [Tiger] had always been ranked as the strongest soul beast species on the Douluo Continent, many times, the tiger was inferior to the dragon.
For example, the Douluo Continent had a true ceiling like the [Dragon God], but no one had ever heard of a [Tiger God].
Furthermore, the martial soul [Baili Du] had forged for Huo Yuhao was of the Dragon King level; in terms of both basic power and speed, it was unknown how many levels higher it was than the [Evil Eye White Tiger].
The [Dai] family's Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul really wasn't that impressive; its archaic three tricks hadn't changed in tens of thousands of years. Even with the [White Tiger Barrier] activated, how could it block a punch from the reborn Huo Yuhao?
Huo Yuhao grabbed Dai Huabin by the throat and lifted him up.
The sensation of suffocation and pain caused Dai Huabin's short legs to kick randomly and his hands to beat forcefully on Huo Yuhao's not-especially-thick yet extremely powerful arm.
His voice was no longer coldly proud as before, but instead carried a trace of trembling and fear: "Let me go... or my mother... the White Tiger Duke estate won't let you off..."
Huo Yuhao raised his index finger in front of himself, making a gesture to be silent, and applied more pressure with his hand, making Dai Huabin unable to produce any more sound, then began to channel his Ultimate Thunder soul power.
"Zzzzt..."
Black-purple lightning snakes continuously traveled over Dai Huabin's body, and Dai Huabin's entire person began to twitch continuously, his eyes rolling back, white foam coming out of his mouth.
Electrocuting with Ultimate Thunder was likely not an experience anyone wished to enjoy—do not forget, lightning was especially destructive to the body.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was continuously battering Dai Huabin's brain to prevent him from passing out during this electrocution.
After torturing him like this for two minutes, Dai Huabin's luxurious attire became tattered, and there were scorch marks all over his body, even producing a faint smell of cooked meat.
Little Yuhao smiled with satisfaction, his voice very cold; after spitting out each word, the air temperature seemed to drop a degree.
"You are proud that you possess the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, but I am not."
"I am grateful that I have the opportunity to change my fate against the heavens, the opportunity to draw a line between myself and you vermin."
"So... I will also kindly give you an opportunity. Use your pride-inducing White Tiger martial soul to cultivate; on the year you turn twelve, I will formally take your life. Of course, your outcome will not change. You may resist all you like and try."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao threw Dai Huabin like trash in front of that group of already stupefied White Tiger Guards.
"Take him and scram!"
The White Tiger Guards still standing looked at each other; after hesitating for a short moment, they picked up their unconscious companions and Dai Huabin, then scrambled and crawled away from the firewood shed.
Little Yuhao looked at the people of the White Tiger Duke estate scrambling and crawling in front of him, feeling only that his heart was incredibly comfortable.
Those people who were once unreachably high and acted arrogantly in front of him were now weak beyond belief.
Was this the feeling of possessing power?
[Baili Du] walked over, stood beside Huo Yuhao, and patted his shoulder: "Not a bad job! But aren't you afraid of the Duchess's revenge if you do this? You are still far from being called powerful."
Dai Hao's good wife was famously jealous; she, out of extreme love for her son, might even concoct a "way to seek death" for their mother and son on the spot. Their mother and son could forget about living well in this Duke's Mansion.
Of course, with him around, even if Tang San came down to the Douluo Continent now, he wouldn't be able to put a dog leash on Huo Yuhao.
It's just that even now, [Baili Du] couldn't really understand why the Duchess, as the main wife, would be jealous of a... personal servant who didn't even have a formal status?
Huo Yuhao shook his head silently: "But if I didn't do this, Mother would never leave with me, would she?"
"...?!"
After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, [Baili Du] fell silent. Why hadn't he thought of doing it this way before?
With the death threat from the Duchess, no matter how much of a love-brain Huo Yun'er had, she would have to consider the safety of herself and her son.
Then he was relieved; right, he was Huo Yuhao, and only Huo Yuhao... it was normal for him to be smarter than himself at this age!
"Indeed! A very clever method!"
