Today I'll Teach You a Lesson, You Unfilial Son!
In his rage Dai Hao didn't control his voice when he said this, and since there was Amplification Soul Tool on the arena, everyone heard his words.
The square fell silent once more; the clamor of tens of thousands of people seemed to have been abruptly stopped by an invisible hand.
Dai Hao's words were echoing in almost everyone's minds, and doubt filled everyone's hearts.
"Family matters? What family matters?"
"Didn't Huo Yuhao say he was attacked and killed by the Duchess White Tiger? How did it turn into family matters?"
"Why did the Duchess send someone to kill Huo Yuhao? Didn't you think about that?"
"Could this Huo Yuhao be the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke?"
Whispers arose from every corner of the audience, gradually merging into a cacophony of noise.
People's eyes darted back and forth between Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao, and the more they looked at that young face and that tall figure, the more they felt that they were somewhat similar.
Dai Hao's statement, "This is my family matter," was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and allowing everyone to quickly guess the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao.
Those who were originally just watching the spectacle now had a gossipy glint in their eyes.
Yan Shaozhe still didn't move aside. He stood in front of Huo Yuhao, glanced back at Huo Yuhao with a questioning look in his eyes, clearly waiting for Huo Yuhao's decision.
As long as Huo Yuhao nods in agreement, even if it's a family matter, the dean of Shrek Academy will get involved.
He fears nothing more than the White Tiger Duke Mansion, or even the entire Star Luo Empire.
Huo Yuhao made no comment; he simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed on Yan Shaozhe was blocking his way.
A moment later, he stepped forward, his steps steady and unhurried.
When he reached Yan Shaozhe's side, he said, "Dean, I'll handle this matter."
Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
He knew that Huo Yuhao was able to contend with Soul Saint when he was Soul Ancestor, and now that he was Soul King, he should be able to hold his own against Soul Douluo.
Besides, even if Dai Hao really wanted to devour his own cub, he could intervene at any time if he was nearby.
A level 95 Super Douluo can't even protect his own students?
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on Dai Hao opposite him. Dai Hao's resolute face was now filled with barely suppressed rage, his chest heaving violently, and his fists clenched tightly.
Huo Yuhao seemed not to notice, his voice calm and almost indifferent. "What? Are you going to attack me?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's breath hitched. He knew that if Huo Yuhao continued to cause trouble like this, the matter would likely become even more difficult to resolve.
Looking at Huo Yuhao now, he seems completely unconcerned about taking action. Is this confidence instilled in him by the Shrek Academy?
He glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who had already retreated to the side. The Bright Phoenix Douluo was standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly nonchalant, but his eyes were fixed on them.
His heart stirred slightly, but his gaze ultimately fell on Huo Yuhao.
"No matter what, I am still your father!"
Dai Hao now directly revealed the relationship between the two, and as soon as he finished speaking, the square erupted in an uproar.
The crowd was surprised and began to whisper among themselves.
They really are father and son?!
Dai Hao's voice carried a hint of suppressed anger, as well as a touch of helplessness. "I said I would give you an explanation, and I will give you an explanation."
"This is a family matter, do you have to make it known to everyone?"
Seeing the anger surging on Dai Hao's face, Huo Yuhao remained calm.
There was no trace of fear or hesitation on that young face.
"If it's a good thing, why would we be afraid of others knowing?"
His voice was not loud, but every word was clear and reached everyone's ears.
He paused, looked directly at Dai Hao, and said, "You, White Tiger Duke, have abandoned my mother and me, and the Duchess wants to exterminate us."
"Since you've done something like this, why are you afraid of others finding out?!"
These words caused another uproar among the onlookers in the square.
They never expected that Huo Yuhao, this genius, this young man who had just led Shrek Academy to victory, would encounter such a fate.
White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger has always been a hero in the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire. He is a valiant general who guards the frontier and an idol in the hearts of countless people.
But now, everyone's gaze towards him was somewhat complicated.
As a husband and father, he was indeed negligent, even terribly so.
"Enough!"
Dai Hao roared, his voice like a tiger's howl, causing the arena to tremble slightly.
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "Today I'll teach you a lesson, you unfilial son!"
As he spoke, Dai Hao rushed in front of Huo Yuhao in one step, his speed was astonishing, and he even brought up a gust of wind.
Without any hesitation, he threw a punch!
Even without possessing Martial Soul Possession, Dai Hao, as Soul Douluo with the White Tiger Martial Soul, possessed an extremely powerful physical body.
The punch was so powerful that Huo Yuhao could even hear the air being torn apart.
If this punch were delivered to an ordinary Soul King, they might not be able to withstand it even using their Soul Skill.
The audience did not see Huo Yuhao being sent flying by a punch.
Some powerful Soul Master possessed exceptional eyesight and were able to discern the details of the two individuals' movements in that instant.
Facing Dai Hao's powerful punch, Huo Yuhao did not dodge, but instead threw out his own punch!
"Bang!"
Their fists collided, producing a dull thud.
The overwhelming force even generated a shockwave that spread outwards from the two individuals.
As their fists collided, Dai Hao felt an immense force coming from his right fist, a force far exceeding his expectations.
The anger in his eyes instantly turned into shock, and his pupils contracted sharply.
His body moved backward uncontrollably, taking several steps before he regained his balance.
Huo Yuhao did the same, but he only took two steps back before standing firmly.
To outsiders, the two appear to be evenly matched.
But Dai Hao is Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!
Huo Yuhao, a Soul King, is actually able to rival him in physical strength?!
How is that possible?
Even if he didn't have Martial Soul Possession, and even if he acted hastily, he was still Soul Douluo and the owner of the White Tiger Martial Soul. His physical strength was one of his proudest assets.
With just this one punch, everyone gained a clearer understanding of Huo Yuhao's strength once again.
"You..."
Dai Hao's tiger-like eyes were filled with surprise, and he stared at Huo Yuhao for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Huo Yuhao sneered, his smile full of mockery, as if to say, "That's it?"
He slightly raised his chin, stirring things up, and said, "What? You want to teach me a lesson?"
Huo Yuhao kept provoking Dai Hao with words, his aim being to anger him and make him attack him.
Every word, every phrase, was like a meticulously sharpened blade, precisely piercing Dai Hao's most vulnerable spot.
He knew this man's weaknesses all too well: pride, arrogance, and intolerance of the slightest disobedience.
His purpose in doing this was for his mother.
While Huo Yuhao was speaking, his Divine Power remained on a spot in the audience.
There sat a woman who looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with a gentle face and soft eyes.
She was dressed in simple, elegant clothes and sat quietly among the crowd, attracting no attention.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she covered her mouth, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
Those eyes held heartache, worry, anger, and a complex mix of emotions that were hard to define.
And this woman was none other than Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er.
Huo Yuhao knew that his mother probably still had feelings for Dai Hao, so he did this to make his mother see Dai Hao's true colors.
Let her see with her own eyes what kind of face this man has when he's facing his own son.
Provoked by Huo Yuhao's words, Dai Hao's anger burned even brighter.
His reason completely collapsed in that instant. He had only one thought: to teach this arrogant and unruly son a lesson!
"Since you're asking for a beating, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Hao's figure instantly grew much larger.
His bones cracked, his muscles bulged, and his whole body swelled up as if inflated.
Black and white stripes appeared on his skin, covering his entire body like tiger skin.
A golden "king" mark slowly emerged between his brows, radiating an awe-inspiring aura.
White Tiger Martial Soul, Possess!
