Fight to the Bitter End

The memories of being abandoned by Huo Yuhao resurfaced like scum, and the unfinished hatred erupted in his heart once again.

Dai Huabin possessed the pale golden hair inherited from the White Tiger Family. Huo Yuhao did not inherit the same hair color, but he had similar eyes—both were pale blue. The origin of Huo Yuhao's martial soul likely stemmed from this; even mutated martial souls have traceable roots. It was as if the eyes of the Evil Eye White Tiger had been strengthened and then intercepted to be passed down to Huo Yuhao.

The difference was that Dai Huabin was born with double pupils, which should have been hereditary. Huo Yuhao was very happy that he did not have them; he did not want to have any connection with this family. Although this was just a delusion, he was ultimately of this family's bloodline. Even if he broke away from them, he had already formed a blood feud with the family. The connection had only become tighter. It was not something Huo Yuhao could avoid by burying his head in the sand like an ostrich. He would eventually have to face this problem formally. He did not want to, but the White Tiger Family would not allow him to be so ostentatious, forcing him to confront this issue.

As Huo Yuhao's fame grew, the conflicts and contacts with the White Tiger Family would only increase; he could not hide forever. He might think that the grudge between him and the White Tiger Family was settled, but they certainly would not think so. There were only two ways to resolve this: one was for Huo Yuhao to die to pay for his sins, and the other was for the White Tiger Family to be so afraid that they dared not take further action. At this point, it mostly depended on whether Huo Yuhao was willing to stop.

Now was the concrete manifestation of this problem. Huo Yuhao's body began to tremble the moment he saw Dai Huabin. This was a tremble of tension and excitement. At such a time, it meant that your body had prepared for battle, capable of exceeding your usual strength, and even pushing past your limits when your body reached its peak.

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his eyes stared fixedly at his enemy. Huo Yuhao roared loudly in his heart that this person also deserved to die. Past memories washed over his Sea of Spirit. He was now tasting the consequences of using spiritual power beyond his own capacity. Such overdrafted usage greatly reduced the stability of the Sea of Spirit, causing Huo Yuhao's extreme emotions to rapidly feedback into his entire body—making him prone to overheating—but here, it was also mixed with the great power of hatred.

Huo Yuhao, who could originally maintain his rationality while seeking revenge, could no longer do so. The gray-white color rapidly expanded from a single point to most of the Sea of Spirit. At this moment, there was no green aura to contend with it; there was no one left to stop it. Sky Dream Ice Worm only had the quantity of spiritual power, not the quality, and besides, this was caused by Huo Yuhao's personal will. No one could oppose Huo Yuhao's will within his own Sea of Spirit. Forcibly stopping it would only cause damage to the Sea of Spirit, so at this time, one could only let nature take its course.

"Watching the show, watching the show." Wang Yi, who could no longer read his book in peace, ran out and said to the worried Sky Dream Ice Worm.

"Hey, how can you be so carefree? If something happens to little Yuhao, we will all die. The damage to the body caused by problems in the Sea of Spirit is huge."

"You are just too nagging. Each generation has its own journey. His path is ultimately his own to walk. We should respect his choices. What we should do is teach him the principles of the world and help him out when he wants to turn back; that is more than enough."

"That may be so, but he has clearly reached a fork in the road. We must stop him!"

"I told you to relax. Even if you are anxious, do you have a solution?"

"I don't, but do you? Just standing there making sarcastic remarks. By the way, where is your true form? That is the only power that can stop this kind of expansion right now." After speaking, Sky Dream Ice Worm looked with a worried expression at the gray-white aura that was still expanding.

"Ah, I forgot I even had a true form since you didn't mention it. Didn't it go into a deep sleep?" Wang Yi pointed to the green area that still existed under their feet amidst the gray-white aura. It was like an oasis in the desert, attracting attention, but Sky Dream Ice Worm had been too anxious to notice.

"Hurry up and think of a way! Make it move and help Huo Yuhao."

"If I could control my true form, would I be standing here talking to you?" In the end, the two stared at each other, but there was nothing they could do. Just as the two were about to give up, a voice suddenly came from above their heads.

"No matter, controllable." Then there was no more news. The two, who had been anxious with no solution, could only trust this mysterious person.

In the blink of an eye, the gray aura had spread to the entire Sea of Spirit, leaving only the area formed by the small cocoon of green aura. Wang Yi and Sky Dream Ice Worm were watching the show from inside. Although Tian Meng seemed useless, he still had the ability to stand his ground in the Sea of Spirit; he just thought it was too tiring, so he hid with Wang Yi and didn't care about Wang Yi's mocking gaze. Wang Yi stopped mocking Tian Meng because the good show was about to begin. They were worried, but they still wanted to see what he would do without their help and to what extent he could go.

It wasn't just Huo Yuhao who was stirred to hatred upon seeing the other party; Dai Huabin was also stunned for a moment, carefully observing the person opposite him, and recognized that it was Huo Yuhao. His expression quickly turned serious. He knew this person—a minor character he would never have cared about—but a few months ago, this person had suddenly erupted, fought his way through the Duke's Mansion, and killed his mother. Although he didn't have much affection for that mother, as he had spent most of his time growing up in the family's ancestral grounds, it didn't make his killing intent toward Huo Yuhao any less. After all, she was his mother.

The family had held a meeting to discuss this matter. Huo Yuhao was just a small soul master and of no consequence, but the unknown powerhouse behind him was very troublesome. What if he was a big shot from some hidden sect? If they made an enemy of him, would it cause a war between two factions?

This was a very serious problem. Any family force capable of producing a Titled Douluo could not be small, and a war would inevitably result in both sides suffering. Therefore, they did not launch a manhunt for Huo Yuhao, choosing to suppress the matter for now until they figured things out. Orders were given to the family members to wait and to communicate with other families.

However, this order was not something a junior like Dai Huabin would follow. He wanted to kill him now. The wildness in the Evil Eye White Tiger bloodline was ignited, and his eyes gradually became stained with blood red.

At this time, Elder Xuan, who was watching the battle, noticed something was wrong; the reactions of both sides seemed a bit excessive. He became interested all of a sudden, pondered for a moment, and reached out his hand to grab at the air twice.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who had been busy as hell during the competition, could finally take a break. Most people had finished or were in the middle of their final matches, so there wasn't much left to do. Even the only person they were worried about, Huo Yuhao, could enter Shrek Academy and become their junior brother. Everything was almost complete; it had been a truly fulfilling day.

Just as the two looked at each other and smiled, exchanging glances, they suddenly felt like they were being pulled by something, and they were instantly teleported to the competition arena. They were not allowed to enter this place unless necessary, for fear that these students would affect the candidates' state of mind. But at this moment, there was no need to worry; with such a big shot summoning and shielding them, they would never be discovered.

"Elder Xuan, is there anything you need from us?" Bei Bei asked, bowing in surprise.

"No need to be so formal with me; it's not like you don't know me. This kid is someone you have your eye on, right? The current situation is quite interesting, so I'll let you take a look too."

The moment he saw Dai Huabin, Bei Bei's pupils shrank. This image was definitely someone from the White Tiger Family, and definitely of the assault type. Seeing his little junior brother's performance, it seemed like he wanted to go head-to-head rather than use his privilege as an auxiliary type to concede.

"This, this, this, Elder Xuan, are you just going to watch?" Bei Bei was a bit flustered with concern.

"Hahaha, don't worry, nothing will happen. I will protect this little auxiliary you value so much." Tang Ya was unfamiliar with the situation and could only watch anxiously from the side.

At this moment, the battle had already been declared. Both of them released their martial souls and soul skills at the very first moment. The comparison between one ring and two rings showed the gap directly. In fact, Dai Huabin was already at level 29 and about to reach the three-ring soul master level.

Both sides approached at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to collide.
