[Douluo I Period]
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Beast! Beast!!!"
A roar of uncontrollable fury exploded from Dai Mubai!
His Evil-Eyed White Tiger eyes turned bloodred in an instant, and his golden hair stirred without a breeze.
The innate dominance and authority of the Star Luo Imperial Family erupted!
"Dai Hao! You unworthy descendant!"
Dai Mubai pointed at the figure on the Sky Screen, trembling with rage.
He could tolerate his descendants fighting for power. That was the law of survival etched into the bones of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
He could even tolerate them being cold-blooded, abandoning their wives and children, because he himself was no perfect man.
But he could never tolerate one of his own blood descendants—a member of the Dai Family, with White Tiger blood in his veins—bowing and scraping before outsiders, wagging his tail and begging for mercy!
"You actually—actually dared to collude with foreign enemies and betray your ancestors' legacy!"
"How dare you call yourself a Dai?!"
"What right do you have to possess the White Tiger Martial Soul?!"
"Our Dai lineage stands tall beneath heaven! We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees!"
"You've disgraced the Star Luo Imperial Family and every one of our Dai ancestors!"
He slammed his fist into the ground!
"I, Dai Mubai, have no descendant like you! You don't deserve the Dai name!"
As the entire continent seethed with fury and condemnation, the Sky Screen froze on Dai Hao's face, twisted with fear.
Cold golden characters slowly appeared, delivering the final verdict on his life.
[Top Ten Hypocrites List, No. 8, Dai Hao. All deeds have been exposed.]
[Final judgment and reward and punishment settlement now commencing.]
It was here!
Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats once more.
What judgment would the Sky Screen pass on such a shameless villain, a man who had deceived the world and sold out his country for personal gain?
Under the gaze of the masses, four lines of poetry, filled with scorn and contempt, slowly appeared on the Sky Screen.
[Verdict:]
[Hidden selfish desires beneath iron armor, built a false name atop heaps of bones.]
[Alas, countless loyal souls lie dead—worth less than a single careless word from their king.]
The four short lines struck like four resounding slaps, landing on Dai Hao's face and in the hearts of every Star Luo citizen!
"Alas, countless loyal souls lie dead—worth less than a single careless word from their king..."
At the Western Border military camp.
The one-eared veteran who had been the first to stand up for Dai Hao murmured those lines.
Cloudy old eyes brimmed with tears once again, and they rolled down his cheeks before he could stop them.
He seemed to see his brothers who had died in vain. Their loyal souls and sacrifices had all been reduced to dust beneath the feet of the marshal they had once revered most.
Beneath the poem, a title slowly took shape.
[Title awarded: Traitor to Family and Country!]
To his family, he was a thief who had abandoned his wife and children.
To his country, he was a bandit who had colluded with the enemy and betrayed his nation.
From that day on, when people spoke of Dai Hao, they would no longer think of the White Tiger Duke or the invincible God of War.
They would think only of one thing—Traitor to Family and Country!
[Douluo II Period]
Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei felt some of the pent-up anger in his chest ease when he saw those four words.
He watched the Sky Screen coldly, awaiting the final punishment for this traitor.
Meanwhile, in the White Tiger Barracks, now engulfed in chaos, the angry soldiers read the poem—and countless battle-hardened men wept openly.
They remembered the comrades who had died in battle and the young, fearless faces beneath Blackwater City.
In Dai Hao's eyes, their sacrifice had been nothing but a stepping-stone to power!
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Boundless grief and rage transformed into a surging killing intent.
At that moment, Dai Hao had already fled to the entrance of the passage beneath the commander's tent. The poem and the four-word title shattered the last of his composure.
"No—I'm not—I didn't—"
He murmured incoherently, his eyes unfocused, looking like a madman.
The Sky Screen's judgment continued.
[Comprehensive assessment complete. Beginning reward and punishment determination.]
[After deliberation, Dai Hao's actions—deceiving loyal men, colluding with the enemy, betraying his country, and undermining its foundations—are heinous crimes!]
[His crimes warrant death!]
[The following punishment is hereby imposed—]
[Punishment!]
Golden light blazed across the Sky Screen, showing Dai Hao in real time.
[Sky Screen punishment: simultaneous live broadcast across both timelines—]
[First punishment: Martial Soul devolution!]
Martial Soul devolution again!
Everyone remembered Yan Shaozhe's ridiculous Grass Chicken, and their faces filled with cruel anticipation.
What would Dai Hao's White Tiger Martial Soul—symbol of dominance, power, and slaughter—devolve into?
[Punishment begins!]
A gray, withered light, thick with decay and decline, descended like a maggot burrowing into flesh and precisely enveloped the fleeing Dai Hao!
"Roar—!!!"
A shrill tiger's roar, filled with pain and unwillingness, burst from within Dai Hao!
Behind him, his majestic White Tiger Martial Soul's true form appeared against his will, towering thousands of meters tall!
Yet now, bathed in the gray light, it let out a cry of pain!
Its powerful, imposing body rapidly shrank before everyone's eyes!
Its razor-sharp claws steadily retracted, growing rounded and feeble.
Its fangs, which could bite through steel, grew shorter and began to fall out—
The noble, dignified "king" on its forehead blurred and twisted, eventually turning into a few disorderly markings.
Its satin-white fur, a symbol of imperial bloodline, turned yellowed and unkempt, taking on a sickly appearance.
"No—no! My power! My Martial Soul!!"
Feeling the power drain rapidly from his body, Dai Hao let out a desperate scream.
Everything he had prided himself on, the very foundation of his title as the "God of War," was being mercilessly stripped away and destroyed by that gray light!
At last, the gray light faded.
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger, once peerless beneath heaven and feared by its enemies, had vanished.
In its place was—
A sick cat—
small and scrawny, with matted fur, a trembling body, and eyes filled with fear and cowardice!
"Mew—meow—"
The Sick Cat Martial Soul cowered behind Dai Hao, letting out a pitiful, barely audible meow.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Then came thunderous, uncontrollable laughter!
"Hahahaha! A sick cat! It really is a sick cat!"
"From the fiercest tiger to the most cowardly sick cat!"
"That's how you destroy a man! Didn't Dai Hao care most about his bloodline and Martial Soul?"
"Now the White Tiger's become a sick cat. He'll never be able to hold his head up again!"
Countless jeers stabbed into Dai Hao's heart like the sharpest knives.
He stared blankly at the Sick Cat Martial Soul behind him, which could barely walk without wobbling. Unable to withstand the crushing blow, he finally broke.
"Pfft—"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Dai Hao's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious.
[Douluo I Period]
"Good! Good! Good!"
Watching this, Dai Mubai laughed with unrestrained delight, showing not a trace of sympathy.
"A coward like him deserves a cowardly Martial Soul! The Sky Screen's punishment couldn't be more fitting!"
[Douluo II Period]
Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao quietly watched the Sky Screen and the miserable fate of the man he had once hated with all his heart.
He felt no satisfaction at the thought of revenge, nor the slightest pity.
Only cold indifference.
Just then, golden light flared across the Sky Screen once more.
The icy words announced that this public reckoning was far from over.
[The second punishment is about to be revealed!]
(I've changed the reason for Dai Hao's actions earlier. The third item now reads: colluding with the enemy and betraying his country, forgetting his ancestors and abandoning his roots.)
(Many thanks to all the leaders for your suggestions.)
(Notice: The next chapter gets intense. Please watch with caution!)
