White Tiger Martial Soul Inherited Spirit Bone-Dark Demon Tiger Left Arm Bone

Chapter 19: White Tiger Martial Soul Inherited Spirit Bone—Dark Demon Tiger Left Arm Bone

In an empty alley in Shrek City, a handsome young man suddenly emerged from the shadows.

At that moment, a huge commotion erupted outside a hotel across the alley.

A squad of Shrek City patrol soldiers, clad in armor and holding spears, stood with solemn expressions, forming a wall of bodies that completely blocked the hotel entrance.

Outside the hotel, the curious crowd had also stopped to watch the commotion.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the crowd gathered across the street and quickly left.

Huo Yuhao first went to the snack street in Shrek City, found a restaurant, and ordered a table full of sumptuous dishes.

He dug in and enjoyed a hearty meal.

Afterward, he found a hotel with decent surroundings not far from Shrek Academy and paid ten Gold Soul Coins for the right to use a room for the next year.

When the front-desk clerk asked him for identification, Huo Yuhao took out his Shrek Academy badge and checked in without a hitch.

In Shrek City, a student ID from Shrek Academy was the best pass around.

"Ah." Huo Yuhao entered the room, collapsed onto the soft bed, and let out a contented groan.

A moment later, as he stared at the ceiling, Huo Yuhao recalled everything that had happened at the Rose Hotel.

After following Dai Huabin and the others into the hotel, Huo Yuhao had hidden in the shadows.

First, he used Transformation Jutsu to take on his former appearance.

Then he deliberately brushed past Dai Huabin, intending to draw his attention.

As expected, Dai Huabin took the bait with ease.

Next, Huo Yuhao formed the Seal for Clone Jutsu and had his clone deliberately enter a room right in front of Dai Huabin.

Huo Yuhao's real body used Transformation Jutsu again. This time, he changed into the person Dai Huabin knew best: "Zhu Lu."

When "Zhu Lu" appeared in front of him, Dai Huabin had no idea that she was an impostor.

So Huo Yuhao strolled right up to Dai Huabin and, while he was completely unprepared, plunged a knife straight into his lower abdomen.

It wasn't that Dai Huabin lacked vigilance. He simply couldn't imagine anyone could transform into an exact copy of Zhu Lu.

Even her appearance and voice were indistinguishable from the real thing!

To pull that off, one would need a particular Martial Soul or Soul Skill.

But on Douluo Continent, using a Martial Soul or Soul Skill always caused Soul Power fluctuations.

No one could disguise themselves as another person without making a sound!

There was no precedent for it.

How could Dai Huabin have guessed that this wasn't a Soul Skill at all, but one of the most basic Three Body Jutsu techniques: Transformation Jutsu!

It was also one of the classic tactics of a ninja.

Disguise, infiltration, assassination.

Of course, this trick didn't work every time. Against a Soul Master with high Soul Power or Mental Power cultivation...

Huo Yuhao would probably be spotted the moment he appeared, as someone noticed the subtle differences between him and the real Zhu Lu, and his disguise would be exposed.

But Dai Huabin was only a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. He couldn't see through the Transformation Jutsu cast by Huo Yuhao, whose Mental Power far surpassed his own.

So Huo Yuhao had gravely wounded Dai Huabin without breaking a sweat.

The final step was Huo Yuhao's first Soul Skill, "Soul Shock."

The first Million-Year Soul Ring bestowed upon Huo Yuhao by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had four Soul Skills.

This was one of them.

He had also used this move in his earlier fight with Xu Sanshi, combining it with a Sharingan Genjutsu to pin Xu Sanshi in place.

Huo Yuhao had lived two lives, and his Mental Power was already formidable. He had also fused with Tian Meng's source power and the Mental Power he'd possessed as Sasuke during his time with Team 7.

His Mental Power cultivation was currently far superior to his Soul Power cultivation.

The power of this blow spoke for itself.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't held back a little, Dai Huabin might not have died, but he would have gone mad.

Even so, Dai Huabin couldn't withstand it and fainted on the spot.

Thinking of Dai Huabin's miserable state, collapsed in a pool of blood, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of satisfaction. It even seemed to give his Mental Power a slight boost.

"The White Tiger Duke Mansion... my revenge has only just begun," Huo Yuhao murmured.

"Next, I should see what's in Dai Huabin's Storage Ring."

He sat up and took a Storage Ring that looked extremely valuable from inside his clothes.

With a thought, Huo Yuhao sensed the space inside the ring.

It was even larger than the one in Xu Sanshi's ring.

The White Tiger Duke Mansion really was loaded. He couldn't help sighing inwardly.

There were many things in the ring, but only two caught Huo Yuhao's attention.

One of them was a bone resembling an animal's palm bone.

Unlike an ordinary palm bone, it was pitch-black from end to end, with clearly defined joints and an ancient, weathered aura emanating from it.

"Could this be a Spirit Bone?" Huo Yuhao was startled. With a thought, he brought out the strange bone.

He held it in his hand and examined it closely. Then he cautiously released a trace of Mental Power and made contact with it.

The instant Huo Yuhao's Mental Power touched the bone, an image appeared in his mind.

It was a tiger, four or five meters long, its body covered in black-and-white stripes. A pair of purple wings grew from its back, and a faint layer of black currents swirled around its body. Now and then, purple lightning flickered across its hide.

The Spirit Beast looked ferocious. With a thunderous roar, it let out a tiger's howl that shook the heavens and the earth, making the whole forest tremble. Its savage nature was unmistakable.

"So this really is a Spirit Beast's left arm bone. But what kind of tiger is this?" Huo Yuhao's face lit up with delight.

Among the Spirit Beasts he knew, only the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Tang San had encountered in Douluo I looked somewhat like this one, though there were a few differences.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger should have been entirely black, while this tiger was striped black and white.

What Huo Yuhao didn't know was that this Spirit Beast was called the Dark Demon Tiger. Among the tiger-type Spirit Beasts of Douluo Continent, it was the most powerful after the Golden Tiger King, which possessed Golden bloodline, and the mutated Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The stripes on a Dark Demon Tiger showed that it had reached a hundred years of cultivation. Black mist indicated a thousand years, while purple lightning flickering across its body meant that its cultivation had reached ten thousand years!

This was the left arm bone of a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Tiger.

It had been obtained by chance during a Spirit Ring hunt by some ancestor of the Dai clan who possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul.

It had since been passed down as the White Tiger Duke Mansion's treasured Spirit Bone for thousands of years, its value beyond measure.

The reason it was on Dai Huabin was the White Tiger Duchess's doting love for her youngest son. She had stolen it from the White Tiger Duke Mansion's treasury and given it to Dai Huabin.

After a chain of twists and turns, it had now fallen into Huo Yuhao's hands by chance.

Though Huo Yuhao didn't know the details, he understood that the Spirit Bone was priceless. This loss would surely make the White Tiger Duke Mansion ache for a long time.

Huo Yuhao carefully put it into his Storage Soul Tool Ring.

Although he had come by the Spirit Bone by chance, his cultivation wasn't yet high enough to absorb it.

Huo Yuhao wasn't about to overestimate himself. Until he was sure he could handle it, he wouldn't try to absorb the Spirit Bone.
