Bei Bei Shocked: White Tiger Martial Soul? Dai Yu Scoffs: I Would Never Claim Ties to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!

"Then what about this little brother Dai?"

Facing Bei Bei's gaze, Dai Yu said with a faint, inscrutable smile:

"Me...

I'm just average. Slightly stronger than Yuhao, by a tiny bit."

As he spoke, Dai Yu released a trace of his aura.

It was merely a hint of the Sacred Beast White Tiger Bloodline.

Yet it made Bei Bei's expression change instantly!

"Hiss!"

Bei Bei couldn't help taking a step back and drawing in a sharp breath.

"This bloodline resonance is actually even stronger than my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline!"

"Bei Bei, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Tang Ya was shocked. The Grilled Fish in her hand nearly fell.

It was the first time she had ever seen Bei Bei look so flustered.

One had to know that Bei Bei's Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. Among his peers, he had almost never lost to anyone in terms of aura.

Tang Ya hurriedly turned to look at Dai Yu, her eyes filled with uncertainty. Unable to hold back, she blurted out:

"Little brother, what exactly is your Martial Soul? How could it..."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, just about to answer on behalf of Yu Ge, but the words caught in his throat.

He scratched his head, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes.

Although he had personally witnessed Yu Ge's Martial Soul evolve from that adorable Little White Cat into a mighty White Tiger, the White Tiger gave him a completely different feeling from those inherited Martial Souls he had seen in the Duke's Mansion.

The White Tiger Martial Soul of the Duke's Mansion was filled with slaughter and domineering might.

But Yu Ge's White Tiger... seemed more sacred and more noble, as though it were the emperor among tigers.

*'Brother Sky Dream, Yu Ge's Martial Soul is also a White Tiger, but it seems different from the Duke's.

What exactly is going on?'*

Huo Yuhao had no choice but seek help in his Sea of Consciousness from the "big bug" who had just moved in.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled his eyes and said in a tone full of exasperation:

"Idiot!

Of course it's different!

That's a Divine Beast White Tiger at the Million Years level!

Although I don't know what kind of dog luck that kid had, after that tiger sacrificed itself to him, his Martial Soul underwent a qualitative transformation!

That isn't an ordinary White Tiger at all. It's a Sacred Beast White Tiger with an Ultimate Attribute!"

"Ultimate Attribute?

Sacred Beast White Tiger?"

Huo Yuhao was completely bewildered. He asked blankly:

"Brother Sky Dream, what is an Ultimate Attribute?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helplessly sighed and swayed his chubby body as he explained:

"An Ultimate Attribute means that a certain attribute has reached the pinnacle of the mortal world, becoming an existence that can no longer be surpassed!

Just like how I possess the Ultimate Spiritual Attribute.

Once someone possesses an Ultimate Attribute, it creates absolute suppression against other Soul Masters with the same attribute!

Although that kid named Bei Bei has a top-tier Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, possessing the attributes of lightning and strength,

in front of your Yu Ge's Sacred Beast White Tiger, whether it's the purity of his light or the level of his strength, he is firmly suppressed!

That is the dual crushing power of bloodline and attribute!

Understand, you little fool?"

Huo Yuhao nodded as though he understood, though he didn't really grasp the principle.

But he had understood one thing.

Yu Ge was incredibly powerful now—more powerful than that senior Bei Bei from Shrek Academy!

Outside.

Facing Tang Ya's shocked questioning, Dai Yu's expression remained calm.

Dai Yu slowly reined in that trace of leaking aura and answered indifferently:

"It's only a White Tiger."

"White Tiger..."

Bei Bei had already recovered from the agitation just now, but his gaze toward Dai Yu had grown increasingly deep.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the astonishment churning inside him, and rapidly ran through information about the various powers on the Douluo Continent.

His surname was Dai.

His Martial Soul was a White Tiger.

Moreover, this aura was purer and more domineering than that of an ordinary White Tiger Martial Soul.

Bei Bei seemed to recall something. His gaze locked tightly onto Dai Yu as he asked tentatively:

"Little brother Dai, your surname is Dai, and your Martial Soul is a White Tiger...

If you don't mind me asking, what is your relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion of the Star Luo Empire?

Could it be that you are from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Dai Yu's expression did not change, but a self-mocking, cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand and said:

"Don't say things like that carelessly. I wouldn't dare claim any connection to a powerful household like that!"

Dai Yu casually picked up a branch and prodded the fire before him. His tone was filled with undisguised distance and disgust:

"I'm merely a distant branch of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, so distant that we're practically unrelated.

In that strictly hierarchical Duke's Mansion, no one looks kindly on someone like me."

As he said this, a barely perceptible chill flashed through Dai Yu's eyes.

He truly had no fondness for that so-called White Tiger Duke's Mansion. In fact, it would be fair to say that he loathed it to the extreme.

During the first six years after transmigrating into this world, he had lived in a remote little village. Though poor, he had enjoyed his freedom.

That changed on the day of his six-year-old Martial Soul Awakening.

He awakened the extremely rare Detached Martial Soul, Little White Cat.

A Detached Martial Soul should have been a symbol of strength, but this Little White Cat was terribly weak. His Innate Soul Power was also a pitiful level one.

Such a "mutated Trash Martial Soul" should have allowed him to remain an ordinary person in the village.

But by sheer coincidence, his existence was discovered by Dai Huabin, who happened to pass by.

That second young master, hailed as a genius of the Duke's Mansion, found the matter incredibly novel.

A branch descendant with the White Tiger Bloodline had actually awakened a detached little cat?

And it only had level-one Soul Power?

It was simply the greatest joke in the world!

Thus, for the sake of that bit of malicious amusement, Dai Huabin forcibly brought him back to the Duke's Mansion.

Not to cultivate him, and certainly not to acknowledge him as family.

It was merely because Dai Huabin found him utterly laughable and wanted to keep him by his side as a source of entertainment.

Every so often, he would bring him out to mock him, using him to highlight the superiority of his own level-nine Innate Soul Power.

"It was just my bad luck that I ran into that young master named Dai Huabin."

Dai Yu raised his head and looked at Bei Bei and Tang Ya, his tone as calm as though he were recounting someone else's story:

"He thought my 'detached trash cat' was amusing, so he brought me into the mansion to keep me around as a joke.

That's also why Yuhao and I were able to become friends."

As he said this, Dai Yu glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him and reached out to ruffle his hair:

"Because in the eyes of those important figures, we were both the same kind of 'trash,' not worth wasting even a single grain of rice on."

When Huo Yuhao heard the name "Dai Huabin," his body suddenly trembled, and uncontrollable hatred surged into his eyes.

He pressed his lips tightly together and said in a low voice:

"Yu Ge isn't trash!

Neither am I!

One day, we'll make them regret it!"

Looking at the stubbornness and indignation in the eyes of the two youths, as well as their undisguised rejection whenever the Duke's Mansion was mentioned,

Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance, and an inexplicable sympathy welled up in both their hearts.
