Background Suppression System, Binding Huo Yuhao, Million Year Sacred Beast White Tiger Sacrifices! (Seeking Collection!)

Outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Ha... ha... Yuhao, be careful. Something is wrong with the bushes ahead."

Dai Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stopped, panting heavily.

Beside him, Huo Yuhao gripped the White Tiger Dagger in his hand.

His eyes were full of vigilance as he cast a grateful look at Dai Yu:

"Yu Ge, you should rest for a moment too.

The soul beast we are looking for should be nearby."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Dai Yu felt a complex mix of emotions.

He had been transmigrated into the world of the Peerless Tang Sect for eleven years now.

He had originally thought that since his surname was Dai, he would at least be able to pass as a direct descendant of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

He had hoped to awaken a White Tiger Martial Soul and reach the pinnacle of life from there.

But reality had dealt him a resounding slap in the face.

He was a distant branch of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, so distant that almost no one remembered him.

What was worse, during the awakening ceremony at age six, his supposedly majestic White Tiger Martial Soul had undergone a "reverse mutation."

It had turned into a snow-white little cat that possessed zero attack power and could only "meow."

It was a detached martial soul, just like the one Yu Xiaogang had.

His innate soul power was level one.

In the Douluo Continent, where strength was everything, such talent was essentially a death sentence.

"Meow~"

With a slight movement of his mind, a palm-sized Little White Cat appeared on his shoulder, lazily licking its paws.

This was his martial soul; aside from having slightly sharper hearing, it had no combat capability whatsoever.

Comparing oneself to others really is infuriating, Dai Yu thought with a bitter smile.

Although his talent was a complete disaster, as a transmigrator, he knew the plot well.

He knew that Huo Yuhao would eventually become the world-shaking "Huo Gua," the God of Emotion!

Since his own cultivation was a lost cause, he had no choice but to "hug a big leg."

Over the past few years, Dai Yu had deliberately gotten close to Huo Yuhao.

As two outcasts of the Duke's Mansion, they shared the same plight.

Coupled with Dai Yu's intentional care and protection, the two soon became brothers who talked about everything.

When Huo Yuhao ran away from home this time to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul beast, Dai Yu had gritted his teeth and followed him.

He only had level ten soul power; coming here was practically suicide.

But he had to come.

Because he knew that today, right here, Huo Yuhao would reach the turning point of his destiny—

The sacrifice of the Million Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

As long as I am present, given my relationship with Yuhao, when he eats the meat, even if I only get a sip of the soup or scrape together some spiritual power or opportunity, perhaps this trash martial soul can still be salvaged...

Dai Yu watched Huo Yuhao's back, calculating silently in his heart.

"Yu Ge, look out!"

Huo Yuhao's sudden exclamation interrupted Dai Yu's thoughts.

A black shadow, accompanied by a foul stench, lunged from the bushes to the side with astonishing speed.

It was a Wind Baboon!

Damn it, it really came!

Dai Yu's heart constricted, and he instinctively wanted to retreat.

But his Little White Cat martial soul was so frightened that it dove straight back into his body.

At the critical moment, a flash of light shone from Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye.

He lunged forward, blocking the path in front of Dai Yu.

The White Tiger Dagger in his hand glinted with cold light as he thrust it directly at the black shadow.

"Puchi—"

After a thrilling struggle, following a miserable shriek from the Wind Baboon, Huo Yuhao collapsed onto the ground, panting for breath.

A few bloody scratches appeared on his arm.

"Yuhao, are you alright?"

Dai Yu rushed over in a hurry to steady Huo Yuhao, his heart pounding wildly.

The Wind Baboon was dead.

According to the script, what came next was...

Rumble--!

Without any warning, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently.

The surrounding trees shook frantically, and massive fissures tore open across the ground.

A chill, terrifying to the extreme, instantly enveloped a radius of ten miles.

"Wh... what is happening?"

Huo Yuhao's face turned pale as he stared in terror at the cracks beneath his feet.

Dai Yu gripped Huo Yuhao's arm tightly, yet his eyes shimmered with excitement.

It was here!

The only Million Year Soul Beast on the entire continent, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

A dazzling white light shot into the sky from the fissures in the ground.

That massive body, resembling a sculpture of white jade, radiated a suffocating and terrifying pressure.

"Wahahahaha!

Brother has finally come out!

Brother has finally escaped!"

A voice, at once cheeky and filled with majesty, exploded in both of their minds.

Huo Yuhao was already so shaken by this pressure that he couldn't move, his eyes filled with despair.

Meanwhile, Dai Yu looked at the giant ice silkworm with full anticipation, silently chanting in his heart:

"Brother Sky Dream, look over here!

There's a little brother right here!

Even a hundred-year soul ring would be fine!"

However, the moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's massive eyes locked onto Huo Yuhao, preparing to descend for the sacrifice, a cold, mechanical voice abruptly rang out in Dai Yu's mind—so loud that it even drowned out the roar of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

[Ding!

Detected that the Host is in an extremely dangerous environment, and a high-value binding target is present nearby.]

[Background Suppression System is activating... Activation successful!]

Dai Yu was stunned.

A system?

I've been transmigrated for eleven years and was ready to be a sidekick for life, and you show up only now?

[System Tenet:

The more powerful the background displayed by the bound object, the stronger the background identity the Host can obtain for suppression!]

[Scanning surrounding environment...]

[Detected bindable object: Huo Yuhao.]

[Current event: Million Year Soul Beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrifice, Holy Necromancer Electrolux's Divine Sense about to descend.]

[Judging... Object Huo Yuhao is about to possess a Million-Year Wisdom Soul Ring and the favor of the Holy Necromancer, background index soaring!]

[Triggering Background Suppression Mechanism!]

[Congratulations to the Host, obtained suppression reward:

Million Year Sacred Beast White Tiger sacrifice!

Yao Lao's Remnant Soul to guard the path!]

Dai Yu hadn't even reacted yet.

Accompanied by a Tiger Roar, an overbearing aura instantly erupted from within his body!

"ROAR!!!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been preparing to charge toward Huo Yuhao, slammed on the brakes in mid-air, its plump body trembling violently.

"Th... this aura is..."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shrieked, its voice cracking:

"How could there be an existence even more terrifying than Brother?!"

BOOM—!

Following that deafening Tiger Roar from within Dai Yu's body.

An aura of slaughter, pure to the extreme, transformed into a tangible golden storm that swept wildly with Dai Yu at its center.

"Meow..."

That useless White Cat spirit, which usually only knew how to act cute and lick its paws, let out a painful hiss as its body expanded rapidly within the golden light.

Its originally soft white fur instantly turned as hard as steel needles, crystalline and translucent, with Dark Gold demonic patterns flowing across it.

The "King" character mark on its forehead radiated an imperial majesty that no one dared to look upon directly!

In the blink of an eye, that scrawny house cat had transformed into a Winged Sacred Tiger, ten zhang tall, with wings sprouting from its back!

Its phantom image hovered behind Dai Yu, its cold beastly pupils merely sweeping a glance across the sky.

Thump!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell straight down from mid-air.

It slammed heavily into the ground.
