The cave dwelling was filled with the faint smell of blood, as well as the remaining cold breath of destruction after Amaterasu.
Huo Yuhao stood there, still holding the bloody dagger in his hand, staring blankly at the black-haired boy in front of him who claimed to be his "brother", his mind going blank.
Brother?
Half brother?
Wear... soil?
This name was unfamiliar to him and he had never heard of it before. But the unfailing coldness and sincerity in the young man's eyes, as well as the resonance that was like blood connection and penetrated into the soul, made him unable to doubt it.
Moreover, what Dai Tu just said...
There are fifty-three people in Konoha Village, including sister Arin, all dead.
They were slaughtered by Zhu Ye and fifty White Tiger Army elites.
Zhu Ye... is the younger brother of Zhu Yue.
It's White Tiger Duke Mansion's person.
It's... the woman's biological brother who killed his mother.
Therefore, Dai Tu's enemy, like him, is White Tiger Duke Mansion, Zhu Yue, and Dai Hao.
They have the same origin, the same... blood feud.
"You..." Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, his voice was as dry as sandpaper, "What you said... is all true?"
"I don't need to lie to you." Dai Tu said calmly. The strange Mangekyo pattern in his eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only a pair of clear, big eyes that were somewhat similar to his.
"Moreover, I just killed Dai Yueheng. I used Amaterasu, which only I can use. Soul Skill. If I lie to you, I can just walk away. There is no need to expose myself, and there is no need to... help you kill people."
Huo Yuhao was silent.
He looked at Dai Tu, then at Dai Huabin's body on the ground, and then at the place where Dai Yueheng disappeared, the small group of ashes still emitting light black smoke, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more clear.
Yes.
This boy, like him, is the illegitimate son of Dai Hao, a "mistake" that was abandoned by the White Tiger Duke Mansion and even wanted to be erased.
This young man, like him, had lost his most important relative and was burdened with a blood feud.
This young man, like him, is struggling in this cannibalistic world, wanting to become stronger, wanting revenge, wanting... to survive.
Sympathize with each other
No, it's a bond deeper than sympathy for each other.
It's blood, hatred, and fate that bind them together.
"I... understand." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and threw the short knife in his hand to the ground with a crisp "clang" sound.
He raised his head and looked at Dai Tu. His eyes were no longer confused, only a deep, almost decisive determination remained.
"Dai Tu... Brother." When he called out this title, he was still a little jerky, but beneath the jerkiness, there was a natural, as if it should be, such closeness.
"Thank you for helping me get revenge. And thank you... for telling me this."
Dai Tu looked at the rekindled, but more cold and determined light in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his heart moved slightly.
This stupid brother is stronger than he thought.
It is also more... bloody than the original Huo Yuhao.
At least, in the face of hatred, he did not hesitate for too long, and was not kidnapped by the hypocritical "righteousness" and "responsibility" like the original work, and finally chose to forgive.
"You're welcome." Dai Tu shook his head, his voice still calm, "By helping you, I am also helping myself. Our hatred is the same. We should walk together."
He paused, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said seriously, "However, we can't stay here anymore. Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng died here. Shrek Academy and White Tiger Duke Mansion will be investigated soon. You must leave immediately."
"Leave?" Huo Yuhao was stunned, "Where are you going?"
"Follow me." Dai Tu said, his tone unquestionable, "Go to the Body Sect."
"Body Sect?" Huo Yuhao was stunned again.
He has heard of this name, which is as famous as Shrek Academy and one of the most mysterious sects in the mainland. It is said that the members of the sect are all Body Martial Soul, who act both righteously and evilly, and are very protective of their shortcomings. But he never thought that he would be related to this sect.
"Yes, Body Sect."
Dai Tu nodded and explained, "I am a disciple of the Body Sect, and my teacher is the master of the Body Sect, Du Busi, Level 98 Super Douluo. Your Spirit Eye Martial Soul is an eye, belonging to the category of Body Martial Soul. According to the rules of the Body Sect, all Body Martial Soul in the world should belong to the Body Sect. It is natural for you to go there."
He paused and added:
"Moreover, Body Sect is more suitable for you than Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy's bullshit theories of 'running and training' and 'unity and friendship' will only smoothen your edges, kill your hatred, and turn you into an obedient and useful tool.
And Body Sect only looks at strength and talent. As long as you are strong enough, you will get all resources and all respect. If you want to take revenge and become stronger, that is the place you should go."
Huo Yuhao Listen, I quickly weighed it in my mind.
Dai Tu makes sense.
He has already killed Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, and Shrek Academy, and White Tiger Duke Mansion, and has completely broken up with each other. If he stays with the Shrek Academy, there is only a dead end.
Moreover, as Dai Tu said, Shrek Academy's philosophy really made him very uncomfortable. Those principles of "unity", "friendship" and "protection" sounded beautiful, but if you think about it carefully, it was more like a kind of... restraint.
A kind of shackles that allows you to let go of your hatred, let go of your ego, and obey unconditionally for the sake of the so-called "overall situation".
He doesn't want to be tied down.
He just wants to become stronger and take revenge.
"Body Sect... will you really accept me?" Huo Yuhao hesitated, "My Spirit Eye Martial Soul is not of high quality, and Soul Power is only level 2..."
"The quality is not high?" Dai Tu smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile,
"Huo Yuhao, you underestimate yourself too much. Your Spirit Eye Martial Soul is the highest-level 'eye' type among Body Martial Soul, and it has undergone a qualitative change.
Not to mention, you also have Second Martial Soul, Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, that is Ultimate Ice, and the real god-level Martial Soul. Such a talent, no matter where it is placed, is a rare treasure found in thousands of years. If Body Sect knew about you, I am afraid they would beat gongs and drums to welcome you in."
Huo Yuhao was shocked.
Dai Tu... even know about his Second Martial Soul?
Yes, when he killed Dai Huabin just now, he was so excited that Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's aura faintly leaked out, and Dai Tu noticed it.
This brother... is more mysterious and... powerful than he imagined.
"Little Yuhao, he is right."
In my mind, the voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also rang, with a hint of excitement,
"Body Sect I've heard of it. It's a very special sect. It's full of Body Martial Soul freaks. Their way of training is very domineering and direct. It's very suitable for people like you who have deep hatred and need to become stronger quickly. People. Moreover, they are famous for guarding their shortcomings. If you become one of theirs, White Tiger Duke Mansion will have to think twice about touching you. Go! You must go! Shrek Academy is a lousy place with too many rules. It's annoying!"
Even Brother Sky Dream said so...
Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and nodded heavily.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Dai Tu's eyes flashed with satisfaction and he nodded.
"But..." Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, "Before I leave, I want... to say goodbye to someone."
"Who?"
"Wang Dong." Huo Yuhao's voice was lower, with a hint of unnoticeable... reluctance, "He is my roommate and my only friend in the Shrek Academy. I don't want to... say goodbye without saying goodbye."
Wang Dong.
Dai Tu's brows wrinkled slightly.
Sure enough, it's still him.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao's biggest "tribulation" is also the most critical "lock" that Tang San uses to tie Huo Yuhao together.
Tang Wutong, or one-third of her Divine Soul, Wang Dong.
The tool man who was transformed by Tang San with divine power and implanted with "commands" to approach, tie, and ultimately control Huo Yuhao.
No, maybe saying "tool man" is an understatement.
Dai Tu I think of the "abstract" setting of Tang Wutong in the original work. Divine Soul was divided into three parts, one part became Wang Dong, one part merged with Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and one part remained in the Divine Realm body.
The last three parts were combined into one to piece together a "complete" Tang Wutong, who married Huo Yuhao, became the crown princess of the Divine Realm, and became... Tang San's last shackle to control Huo Yuhao.
What the fuck is this done by humans?
Taking apart his daughter like parts, using it like a tool, and arranging it like a chess piece, just to bind a "child of destiny", just to... consolidate his Tang Family's rule over Divine Realm?
Dai Tu only felt a cold emotion, full of disgust and murderous intent, welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Tang San, you are such a fucking... beast.
