The Laws of the Martial Soul Hall

In his past life, Dai Huabin happened to pass by the residence of the mother and son, and Huo Yuhao accidentally bumped into him and his group of servants while hanging laundry.

For this simple reason, Dai Huabin had his servants give him a brutal beating.

To protect Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun'er took all the blows, and in the end, her health deteriorated day by day until she passed away early from illness.

In other words, this boy was the starting point of all of Huo Yuhao's hatred.

Although only six years old, under his mother's influence, Dai Huabin already possessed the prototype of the arrogance and tyranny he would display in the future.

Before Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin had already awakened the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power; at this moment, he was at his most proud and complacent.

Watching that dazzling light, Dai Huabin's expression twisted involuntarily.

When Huo Yun'er thanked Zhang Peng and tried to take Huo Yuhao away, Dai Huabin blocked Huo Yuhao's path directly.

He said nothing, only staring intensely into Huo Yuhao's eyes with a look of defiance.

Huo Yuhao really wanted to smash his fist into that face, but he forced himself to remain calm... although Dai Huabin was indeed the one who would kill his mother, Huo Yun'er was still alive and well right now.

If he let his temper flare and acted rashly, it would definitely put Huo Yun'er in danger. Perhaps the Duchess would even use it as a pretext to cause consequences even more severe than before.

After weighing all the factors, Huo Yuhao chose to swallow his anger for the time being; as long as he could protect Huo Yun'er's life, it didn't matter what humiliation he suffered himself.

"Hey, stop."

Just then, Dai Huabin called out.

Huo Yuhao acted as if he hadn't heard and quickened his pace.

"I told you to stop!" Dai Huabin raised his voice, and the mother and son had no choice but to stop.

"Young Master, we have no grudges or grievances with you, why must you use such harsh words?" Huo Yun'er couldn't help but speak up to Dai Huabin, but she only saw Dai Huabin step closer to them. He seemed to have assumed that what Huo Yun'er had just said was merely a fit of pique and that she would ultimately just swallow her pride.

"No grudges or grievances? Heh..."

"A bastard actually having Innate Full Soul Power... this makes me very unhappy, so this can hardly be called 'no grudges or grievances'." Dai Huabin waved his hand, and the surrounding servants of the White Tiger Duke Mansion surrounded the mother and son.

"Beat them."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath... and looked at the servants closing in.

If Dai Huabin could have restrained himself today and not come looking for trouble, he wouldn't have done anything.

But since the other party was the one to initiate the conflict... he was no longer the useless person who needed his mother to protect him.

Having been given a second chance, how could Huo Yuhao possibly repeat the same mistakes!

The servants swarmed them in an instant, throwing punches and kicks, and some even brandished sharp weapons.

Dai Huabin had expected this to make Huo Yuhao afraid, but he saw not a trace of fear on the boy's face; he only stared straight at the servants and assumed a strange starting stance.

They were merely ordinary people without cultivation; the skills he had learned in his past life were still etched in his mind!

As several fists were about to strike his head, at that very instant, Huo Yuhao retreated using an extremely eerie footwork, causing the fists to tangle together and making those men lose their balance all at once.

Tang Sect secret skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

It wasn't over yet; one person standing behind Huo Yuhao raised his leg and chopped straight down toward his shoulder. So what if he had Innate Full Soul Power? In the end, he was just a six-year-old child!

But to his surprise, Huo Yuhao twisted his body the moment before the leg descended and firmly gripped it with both arms. Immediately, the man felt the world spin, and a moment later, he was thrown several meters away by Huo Yuhao.

Tang Sect secret skill, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

With neither punches nor kicks achieving results, several others holding daggers rushed up together, but they were met only with Huo Yuhao's cold gaze.

Whenever a blade tip was about to touch Huo Yuhao, the distance would suddenly increase out of thin air, and after this momentary error, the dagger would snap in two, and the servant holding it would be knocked to the ground the next instant.

Tang Sect secret skill, Mysterious Jade Hand!

After the flurry of attacks, the only one left standing was Huo Yuhao.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Dai Huabin screamed hysterically. How could this be? So many adults couldn't beat a six-year-old child who had just awakened his martial soul!

He gripped the pendant on his neck, and as a faint light shone, a sturdy man dressed in black appeared instantly by his side.

That was a secret guard specifically hired by the Duchess for her son, a four-ring Soul Ancestor. The pendant was actually a Soul Tool capable of outputting a signal; as long as the signal was received, this secret guard would come to his side to clear obstacles for him.

"Do it!" Dai Huabin waved his hand, but unexpectedly, unlike the servants, the secret guard made no move.

"I told you to do it!" Dai Huabin kicked him hard, but the man remained in place, leaning into Dai Huabin's ear with a conflicted expression. Just as he was about to explain something to Dai Huabin, he felt a wave of pressure sweep over and crush down upon him.

Huo Yuhao, who had been prepared to continue fighting, was also stunned, but he soon discovered the source of the anomaly.

Zhang Peng walked slowly to the front of Dai Huabin, first glancing at Huo Yuhao, then looking down at the boy from a position of superiority.

"This is not the White Tiger Duke Mansion where you can throw your weight around, but the Awakening Hall of the Martial Soul Hall."

"Article Seven of the Martial Soul Law: The Awakening Hall is supreme, and no soul master is allowed to engage in any form of violent behavior here. Let alone malicious violence intended solely for the purpose of humiliation."

Dai Huabin tried his best to lift his eyes to look, only to see a scene that shocked him beyond measure: Zhang Peng had eight soul rings on his body, and they were of the top-tier configuration: two yellow, two purple, and four black.

In other words, this seemingly unremarkable martial soul envoy was actually perhaps on par with his father, the White Tiger Duke, or even more powerful!

Although he had heard that the Martial Soul Hall was full of experts, no one had told him that a grassroots employee stationed at the Awakening Hall would be an eight-ring Soul Douluo!

"Ha, sorry, I scared you, didn't I? This lady, and this little friend." Zhang Peng released his soul power suppression, walked up to Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, and continued:

He handed Huo Yuhao a pure gray card with a silver hexagram printed on it.

"For Martial Soul Hall, a child with Innate Full Soul Power is a vital talent resource."

"This card usually requires one to register as a First Ring Soul Master to obtain, but... consider it a small reward for protecting your mother."

After saying this, Zhang Peng escorted Huo Yuhao and his mother out the main gate, then turned to the others inside the Awakening Hall: "Apologies, there was a slight interruption. Is there anyone else who needs to awaken their martial soul? If not, it's time to clock out for the day."

Seeing no response, he walked back to Dai Huabin's side and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"My apologies, young master, but these are the regulations of the Martial Soul Law. Every citizen has an obligation to uphold them; I'm sure you and everyone else here understands that well."

Dai Huabin shook off Zhang Peng's hand, glared at him fiercely, and then walked out the gate without looking back, followed by his group of servants who were suffering from injuries of varying severity. The figures of the hidden guards vanished along with them. Zhang Peng didn't mind; there was no need for him to get angry at a six-year-old child.

"Thank you so much for just now, Lord Zhang Peng." At that moment, Zhu Shan walked up to him and spoke. In order to continue helping the mother and son in secret in the future, he had been forced to remain a bystander just now.

"No need, old gentleman. It was merely punishing those who violate the Martial Soul Law and rewarding those who abide by it."

"I have work tomorrow, so I won't say much more. If you wish to help that mother and son, just tell the little fellow the purpose of that card."

"Of course."

With a few sighs, Zhu Shan also left the Awakening Hall, leaving Zhang Peng alone.

He recalled Huo Yuhao's movements from earlier, and after a careful comparison, he finally confirmed that the boy had used three secret techniques originating from the Crafting Bureau.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there existed a sect called the Tang Sect, which was absorbed by Martial Soul Hall when it was on the verge of decline, eventually becoming today's Crafting Bureau.

Since this child came from the White Tiger Duke Mansion, why would he know these three secret techniques?

"I originally only wanted to test how much spirit the child had... but now, with an Innate Full Soul Power top-tier Body Martial Soul, plus Crafting Bureau secret techniques of unknown origin... the higher-ups will certainly be interested in this child."
