As for the child in Xu Feiyan's womb, in name, he was Dai Hao's posthumous son. Dai Hao was dead, and from then on Xu Feiyan and Dai Yuhao would raise the child together, shaping him into a new pillar of the Duke's Mansion.
"Unlike Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, who followed Dai Hao from childhood and have long harbored wolfish ambitions, making them a real threat to the empire."
With Dai Hao dead and Dai Yuhao the new Duke of White Tiger, Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng naturally refused to accept it.
In a fit of rage, the two announced in Shrek City that they would "rebuild the White Tiger Dynasty." They meant not only to reclaim their inheritance but also to overthrow the unjust Star Crown Dynasty and rebuild the White Tiger Clan's legacy!
Enraged, Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei declared Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng traitors, and ordered Dai Yuhao to put down the rebellion.
A few days later, Dai Yuhao captured the two men. Xu Jiawei waved a hand and left them to Yuhao to deal with.
"Ah!"
"Ugh, ahhh... Dai Yuhao, you beast! We'll never let you get away with this! Ah..."
Dai Yuhao personally dealt with them. He not only crippled their Martial Souls but castrated them as well, turning them into invalids! Only for Xu Feiyan's sake did Yuhao spare their lives, but their fate was still truly miserable!
At last, the entire White Tiger Duke Mansion had fallen completely into the hands of Xu Feiyan and Dai Yuhao. After all, Yuhao was the only one left who could inherit the Duke's Mansion!
If one really had to name someone else, perhaps there was also Dai Luoli. But he had always kept a low profile and was practically Dai Yuhao's lackey, so he could hardly be considered a rival to Dai Yuhao.
After taking over the White Tiger Duke Mansion, Dai Yuhao was granted a marriage by Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei and wed another imperial princess, Xu Jiujiu. Officially, his younger brother Dai Luoli wed the empire's little princess, Xu Yun.
But in truth, on their wedding night, Yuhao ushered all three sisters into the bridal chamber and reveled in the pleasures of having them all to himself.
Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, now crippled, had been sentenced to serve as household servants. They could only stand outside and wait on others, their hearts already awash with blood and tears!
"Damn, that's just too cruel!"
"If I were Dai Huabin, I'd have started over ages ago."
"I never liked the guy much, but honestly, just watching this hurts!"
Years later, Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng both died of rage, neither living past thirty. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and the three Xu sisters had nine sons and five daughters. People of the time all believed that a faint dragon aura coiled above the White Tiger Duke Mansion!
Yuhao's cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, growing deeper by the day.
It was because the Sun Moon Empire feared the new White Tiger War God that, although it conquered the northern Heaven Dou Empire and Dou Ling Empire, it never launched a final assault on Star Luo City. It merely forced Star Luo to submit and occupied part of its former borderlands.
What set the world abuzz was that, according to rumors, the new Sun Moon Emperor, Xu Yunhan, had not inherited the imperial family's Sun Martial Soul. Instead, he possessed the Spirit Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, the same as the White Tiger War God...
Twenty years later, Xu Jiawei passed away. On his deathbed, he passed the throne to his nephew—the eldest son first born to Yuhao and Xu Feiyan, who then ruled over the Star Luo Empire.
As for Spirit Snow Douluo Dai Yuhao, he was honored as regent, granted the title "Spirit Snow King," and given the surname Huo. He ranked above the princes!
"Who would've thought that after all those twists and turns, Huo Yuhao would rise to the highest position beneath the throne and, in truth, rule over all under heaven? Fate really is a wondrous thing!"
Someone sighed.
"Heh, that's what that old bastard Dai Hao gets for spending all his time fighting wars abroad and leaving his wife alone at home. Well, there you have it—his wife had no choice but to find the family a new man of the house. Heh!"
Others mocked him with malice, and there would only be more voices like theirs.
Inside a military tent near the border between the two nations, Dai Hao had already fainted from rage several times. In all their years together, he and Xu Feiyan had only had two sons, yet that scoundrel Huo Yuhao in the Sky Screen's vision had fathered a full five! Five!
And both of his own sons had been crippled, castrated, and ultimately died of rage at a young age!
"Huo Yuhao! Xu Feiyan! You two unfilial wretches, you shameless bitch! Aaaaargh!"
Dai Hao kicked the military tent over. At last, unable to hold back any longer, he turned to the White Tiger Legion deputy commander, who was trembling in fear.
"Come on. I'm going back to the White Tiger Duke Mansion!"
The scenes in the Sky Screen continued. In this world, Huo Yuhao advanced with astonishing speed. With the resources of an entire empire behind him, he broke through to Limit Douluo before he was fifty, becoming one of the youngest Limit Douluos in history.
And this was a Limit Douluo with an Ultimate Martial Soul, Twin Martial Souls, and even Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Cultivating an Ultimate Martial Soul was already much slower than cultivating an ordinary Martial Soul!
The Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire had long since ceased fighting, but Shrek Academy's hostility toward the Star Luo Empire grew more and more frequent. One day, five Titled Douluos from Shrek Academy actually joined forces to attack Huo Yuhao. That battle shook heaven and earth!
"What a Shrek Academy. You really do think highly of me! Dragon God Douluo, Phoenix Douluo, Xiao Ding Douluo, Silver Moon Douluo... and? Taotie Douluo? You old fossil, you're still alive?"
In the scene, Huo Yuhao, dressed in luxurious robes, coldly regarded the five people surrounding him and let out a sneer.
"Cough, cough! I don't have long left. But before I go, I'll take you with me!"
Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, his long hair already withered and white as ash, looking like an evil spirit, rasped the words.
The auras released by the others were all at least at the Super Douluo level!
"Enough nonsense. You shameless scoundrel—you've been carrying on with Xu Feiyan and Xu Yun, and everyone knows it. It's an outrage against heaven and reason! Today, my Shrek Academy will punish you in the name of heaven and clear the Star Luo Empire's name!"
Ma Xiaotao, clad in a fiery red dress and boasting an equally fiery figure, berated Huo Yuhao outright.
"Good. Just for that, I'll capture you in a moment and have a little discussion with you about exactly how I've been carrying on and how I've outraged heaven and reason. Suppress!"
Huo Yuhao sneered and raised a hand. In the next instant, terrifying wind and snow swept through the prince's manor!
The outcome of this battle was never in doubt. Even though the other powerful retainers of the Star Luo Empire failed to arrive in time, Huo Yuhao alone, with the strongest combat power of the age—far beyond that of an ordinary Limit Douluo—defeated all five of them working together.
Before Xuan Zi was reduced to a sky full of ice shards with a wave of Huo Yuhao's hand, regret filled his dim, yellowed eyes. He had assumed that as a newly ascended Limit Douluo, Huo Yuhao wouldn't be very strong—perhaps not even as strong as Mu En in his wheelchair.
He never imagined Huo Yuhao's true combat strength would be earth-shattering. Those like them, who weren't even Limit Douluos, were nothing but small fry who had come to serve themselves up on a platter!
