Chapter 245 My name is Huo Yuhao?
"senior?"
Upon hearing this nickname, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems Madam's memory isn't very good; she didn't recognize me. Would you like me to help her remember?"
Madam White Tiger frowned as she watched Huo Yuhao's performance.
Although the other party looks young, the fact that they were able to so easily abduct me from the White Tiger Duke's mansion shows that their strength is definitely not simple; their appearance is definitely a sign of that.
But I've spent most of my life living peacefully in the White Tiger Duke's mansion. When have I ever offended someone like this?
"It seems Lady White Tiger has indeed forgotten about me. In that case, let me give Lady White Tiger a hint."
Huo Yuhao grinned a dangerous smile.
My name is Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao?"
Madam White Tiger murmured the name, then seemed to remember something, pointing at Huo Yuhao incredulously: "It's you? The guy who got Bin'er expelled from Shrek Academy?"
"It's me." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Netherworld Clone; Fifth Soul Skill: Netherworld Shadow Link!"
In the next instant, several clones shot out and attacked Huo Yuhao. The Netherworld Clones were stacked and connected with the Netherworld Shadow, which could be said to be the signature skill of the Ghost Netherworld Cat Martial Soul. By stacking nine clones to attack the soul skill, it was possible to unleash extremely high attack power in an instant.
"Take it down."
Lady White Tiger was confident that this move could easily end Huo Yuhao's life.
Let alone Huo Yuhao, a junior, even someone of the same generation would perish here if caught off guard.
However, the next moment, Lady White Tiger could no longer laugh.
The sensation of claws piercing flesh did not come as expected; instead, it felt as if they were passing through air without any feedback.
"It's fake?"
At this moment, Lady Baihu remembered the information about Huo Yuhao—that he had extremely strong stealth abilities.
A soul power barrier appeared, and Lady White Tiger's expression tightened, fearing that Huo Yuhao would find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
"A defensive soul tool? Lady White Tiger is certainly keeping up with the times."
Huo Yuhao remained standing in the same spot, looking at Madam White Tiger with a half-smile.
"How long can your soul power withstand a level six defensive soul tool?"
Lady White Tiger remained silent, only keeping a close watch on the surrounding movements.
Lady White Tiger refused to believe that with such strong concealment abilities, Huo Yuhao's soul power consumption rate was slower than hers.
It would be good if both sides exhausted their soul power by then. With her cultivation as a six-ring Soul Emperor, killing Huo Yuhao with her physical strength alone would be no problem.
"Well, since we can't fight right now, let's just chat a bit more."
Seeing that Lady White Tiger was ignoring him, Huo Yuhao sighed softly.
"Did you know? I was the one who made Dai Huabin's Martial Soul Fusion Skill fail. During the freshman assessment finals, the two of them were going to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Not only did I interrupt them with my Soul Skill, but I also left a little gift on Zhu Lu's Martial Soul."
Lady White Tiger's breathing became noticeably heavier.
"It's infuriating to say that Dai Huabin caused me trouble several times, and after I drove him away, he actually sent someone to assassinate me. Fortunately, I had some cooperation with Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that day, and I was saved by Ning Tian's protector, which is how I managed to escape with my life."
"This is also why the conflict deepened, turning from an initial argument of personal feelings into a life-or-death feud."
Lady White Tiger frowned even more deeply.
Huo Yuhao's words reminded her of some unpleasant memories.
Because of the assassination attempt, Dai Huabin was expelled from school, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was also extorted heavily by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, with the resources paid causing even Madam White Tiger to feel the pinch.
After all, given the power of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, if the White Tiger Duke's Mansion dared to utter a single word of dissent, rumors about the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's heir assassinating a classmate would spread throughout the entire Star Luo Empire, which would have a huge impact on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's reputation.
wrong……
Since the initial conflict between the two was not that serious, why did Huo Yuhao destroy Bin'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill in their first encounter?
Seeing Baihu Madam's face change from resentment to confusion, Huo Yuhao knew that Baihu Madam still hadn't figured it out.
"Sigh, it seems that Madam White Tiger hasn't remembered yet. Well, after all, how could a mere trash with innate level one soul power catch Madam White Tiger's eye? It's normal that Madam White Tiger has forgotten."
Huo Yuhao's playful expression vanished, replaced by a cold expression. "It seems Madam doesn't care about a mere illegitimate son... So, it seems Madam's suppression of my birth mother is merely out of jealousy?"
Lady White Tiger was stunned at first, then after a while, as if she remembered something, her eyes widened, and she looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief: "You are...you are that bastard born to that little bitch Huo Yun?"
Clang!
A cold glint flashed, savagely piercing through the defenses formed by the sixth-tier defensive soul tool, heading straight for Lady White Tiger's face.
Lady White Tiger's pupils contracted, and she quickly turned her body to dodge, but the attack still grazed her face, scraping off a piece of flesh.
Only then did Madam White Tiger realize that what had just attacked her was actually a bright green scorpion tail!
"How is that possible!"
Lady White Tiger covered her injured face, her expression filled with disbelief.
What is this thing? It actually broke through a level six defensive soul tool in one hit. Isn't it said that even a Soul Emperor can't easily break through it?
"Madam, you are, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Zhu family. Watch your mouth."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's true form slowly emerged, and his scorpion tail slowly returned to his back.
"Sixth Soul Skill!"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was so arrogant as to reveal his true form, Madam White Tiger immediately activated her strongest sixth soul skill, Netherworld Possession, hoping to kill Huo Yuhao by relying on the enhanced state.
"The Netherworld Possession... Ah—!"
The moment the spirit ring flashed, a purple-gold light struck, hitting Lady White Tiger directly in the face.
Lady White Tiger felt as if her head had been struck by a heavy hammer, making her dizzy and unable to control her soul power. Even the release of her sixth soul skill was abruptly interrupted.
"By the way, how did you manage to get to the position of Soul Emperor? You were even thinking about reciting the names of your soul skills during a life-or-death battle?" Huo Yuhao mocked, looking at the White Tiger Lady who could barely stand.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao never expected that Lady White Tiger's mental strength was so weak. Among the Soul Emperors Huo Yuhao had seen, she was only slightly stronger than the assassin that Dai Huabin had summoned. She couldn't withstand the soul impact enhanced by the Eye of Destiny.
No... this mental fluctuation should be enough to stabilize herself, so Lady White Tiger isn't unable to withstand it, but is in pain?
For a Soul Master who has to fight to the death to hunt for a Soul Ring, and a Soul Master who has experienced a soul shock when absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, how could he be afraid of pain?
Huo Yuhao even suspected that the ten-thousand-year soul ring on Lady White Tiger's body might have been weakened by a spirit-attribute soul master before the hunt, which was how the absorption was completed.
Lady White Tiger finally recovered from the pain and said through gritted teeth, "You little slut, I really shouldn't have let you get away back then."
"Idiot! Your insults have no real power to hurt anyone."
Huo Yuhao curled his lip in disdain. "I really don't know what the Zhu family was thinking, sending a piece of trash like you to arrange a marriage with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. You have no talent, you've only managed to become a Soul Emperor after consuming so many resources; you don't have a Martial Soul or a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, while Dai Hao is still alone on the border facing pressure from the Sun Moon Empire; you're also incompetent at managing the harem, only knowing how to suppress collateral branches, relying on the family's power to do disgusting things like cutting expenses for concubines; not to mention your lack of manners, the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion is full of people who outwardly comply but inwardly defy you, even the servants have to sneak away to find you in a back alley. Doesn't the Zhu family have any other women? Sending a useless vase like you for a marriage alliance?"
"you…!"
Lady White Tiger pointed at Huo Yuhao with trembling eyes, but was too angry to speak.
"I was hoping to spend more time with you, but now I think it's better to end this sooner rather than later."
Huo Yuhao felt utterly bored when he saw that the woman in front of him couldn't even utter a few decent words.
Indeed, what kind of fun could a young lady from a prominent family, confined to the inner palace and only able to engage in low-class domestic intrigues all day long, possibly have?
"Well--"
Huo Yuhao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lady White Tiger by the neck, and lifted her up.
Lady White Tiger's eyes snapped open, her hands gripping Huo Yuhao's arms helplessly, trying to break free from his grasp, but she couldn't even break through the ice armor Huo Yuhao had condensed on his arms.
Why does this guy also have ice-attribute abilities?
Could it be... a twin martial soul?
Seeing Lady White Tiger struggling so desperately, Huo Yuhao suddenly released his grip, letting her fall to the ground.
"Ahem!"
Although she didn't know why Huo Yuhao suddenly let her go, Madam White Tiger had no time to think about it anymore; she just greedily inhaled the fresh air.
"Huff... Huo Yuhao, you... you can't kill me! I'm Dai Hao's legal wife, you still have to call me Mistress. If you dare kill me, you'll be extremely unfilial and will be condemned by everyone!"
Lady White Tiger, having caught her breath, said this.
"Sizzle—!"
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and Lady White Tiger felt a sharp pain in her chest. She looked up at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, then at her left chest, which had been pierced by his bare hands.
Only then did Madam Baihu realize that Huo Yuhao had tried to kill her.
But why?
Lady White Tiger never expected that Huo Yuhao would actually dare to kill her. If that's the case, why did he let her go just now?
However, Huo Yuhao had no intention of explaining.
"You should be grateful that Dai Hao is stationed on the border year-round, and the military camp is full of grown men. In the years since I can remember, Dai Hao has only been home a handful of times, and the total time spent at home has never exceeded one month. Even so, he still gave me a younger brother. If he had stayed at home all the time, you probably wouldn't even have time to be jealous of him."
"Dai Hao, as a Soul Douluo, has already greatly reduced his fertility. How can he still have a child with a mistress? How unfavored must you, the legitimate wife, be?"
Getting pregnant in less than a month is a rare occurrence, even for a normal person. For a Soul Douluo like Dai Hao, the probability is probably less than one in a thousand.
So during the days when Dai Hao was home, he didn't favor Lady Baihu at all, and instead devoted himself to favoring Dai Luoli's birth mother.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Madam White Tiger's expression became noticeably distorted. Her pale lips, pale from blood loss, opened and closed silently, as if she wanted to refute something.
However, in the end, Lady White Tiger was unable to speak again. Even the God of Angels could barely withstand the injury of a ruptured heart. Lady White Tiger, a mere Soul Emperor, could only live a few seconds longer than an ordinary person.
Sensing that Lady White Tiger was gradually losing her life, Huo Yuhao suppressed his pounding heart and tremblingly pulled out his right hand.
"Sigh~"
A long, drawn-out sigh followed.
"Old Master Yi?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Huo Yuhao was taken aback.
"Yuhao, don't let hatred blind you."
How could I have been blinded by hatred?
Huo Yuhao frowned, but still honestly replied, "I know, Elder Yi."
"Yuhao, are you alright?"
Tianmeng's worried voice rang out, "Just now, your spiritual sea was covered with an abnormal blood color. We were very worried, but there was nothing we could do. We couldn't even talk to you. We could only watch helplessly as you killed this guy."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned even more deeply, recalling what he had just done.
It's nothing special, just a normal killing of someone you had a grudge against. They didn't even use the torture methods I saw online in my previous life, let alone any novel procedures like lighting the soul lamp.
wrong……
Recalling how he could have strangled Lady White Tiger directly, but instead suddenly stabbed her to death, Huo Yuhao realized something was wrong.
According to his own habits, he was just helping Huo Gua get revenge. He could have just killed him with his soul skill like those two guards. Why did he have to tie him up and verbally torture Lady White Tiger?
It was Huo Gua who had a grudge against Lady White Tiger, not himself...
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
Is my real name Huo Yuhao?
Or is he really just a time traveler?
Huo Yuhao racked his brains trying to recall how others addressed him in his past life, but after searching again and again, he couldn't find any relevant memories, not even his ID card.
Then why do I feel like my name is Huo Yuhao?
More and more questions arose in Huo Yuhao's mind. He wanted to find answers, but they were like a tangled ball of yarn, leaving him at a loss.
"Yuhao, it's time to wake up. Don't get caught up in hatred."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still immersed in his emotions, Electrolux assumed that Huo Yuhao still hadn't gotten over it.
"I'm fine, Mr. Yi."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, trying to clear the tangled mess from his mind.
"Revenge itself has no meaning; for me, it's just a necessary process."
Only after receiving Huo Yuhao's assurance did Electrolux fall silent.
Based on Electrolux's understanding of Huo Yuhao, this child wasn't easily prone to getting stuck in a rut. Since he had taken the initiative to say such things, he wouldn't be immersed in hatred anymore.
Having successfully fooled Electrolux, Huo Yuhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yuhao no longer intended to delve into who he truly was. Whether he was Huo Gu or a transmigrator, it meant nothing to him now.
After Huo Yuhao woke up and awakened the so-called memories of his past life, inheriting Huo Yuhao's memories, martial soul, and physical body, Huo Yuhao was no longer either a so-called transmigrator or Huo Yuhao.
My name is Huo Yuhao, that's all.
