White Tiger Martial Soul Inheritance Soul Bone: Dark Demon Tiger Left Arm Bone

Chapter 19: White Tiger Martial Soul Inheritance Spirit Bone - Dark Demon Tiger Left Arm Bone

In a deserted alleyway in Shrek City, a handsome youth emerged abruptly and slowly from the shadows.

At that moment, a massive commotion broke out at the entrance of a hotel across from the alley.

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

Outside the hotel, curious onlookers stopped in their tracks to watch the spectacle.

Huo Yuhao cast a glance at the bustling crowd across the street and quickly departed the area.

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

He gorged himself, enjoying a truly satisfying meal.

Afterward, he found a decent-looking hotel not far from Shrek Academy and rented a room for the next year at the cost of ten Gold Soul Coins.

When the front desk staff asked for identification, Huo Yuhao produced his Shrek Academy student badge, and his check-in went smoothly.

In Shrek City, a student credential from Shrek Academy is the best pass one can have.

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

A moment later, Huo Yuhao stared at the ceiling, recalling everything that had just happened at the Rose Hotel.

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

He first used the Transformation Jutsu to take on the appearance of his former self.

He had intentionally brushed past Dai Huabin, all to draw his attention.

Sure enough, Dai Huabin took the bait easily.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao formed the seal for the Clone Jutsu, letting his clone enter a room right in front of Dai Huabin.

Huo Yuhao's real body then used the Transformation Jutsu again; this time, he transformed into the person Dai Huabin was most familiar with: "Zhu Lu."

When "Zhu Lu" appeared before Dai Huabin, he never suspected that the "Zhu Lu" in front of him was a fake.

Thus, Huo Yuhao walked up to Dai Huabin with a swagger and, while he was completely off guard, stabbed him directly in the lower abdomen.

In truth, one could hardly blame Dai Huabin for his lack of vigilance; he simply could not conceive that anyone could transform into an exact replica of Zhu Lu.

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

To achieve this, one would usually require specific Martial Souls or Spirit Skills.

But on the Douluo Continent, the use of any Martial Soul or Spirit Skill is always accompanied by fluctuations in Spirit Power.

It was impossible for anyone to disguise themselves as another person without leaving a trace!

There was simply no precedent for such a thing.

How could Dai Huabin have guessed that this wasn't a Spirit Skill at all, but one of the most basic techniques of ninjutsu—the Transformation Jutsu!

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

Disguise, infiltration, assassination.

Of course, this trick wasn't foolproof; against a Spirit Master with high Spirit Power or strong spiritual cultivation, it would likely fail.

Huo Yuhao would probably have been exposed the moment he appeared due to the subtle differences between him and the real Zhu Lu.

But Dai Huabin was merely a two-ring Great Spirit Master; he had no way of seeing through the Transformation Jutsu cast by Huo Yuhao, whose spiritual power far surpassed his own.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had incapacitated Dai Huabin with almost zero effort.

Finally, there was Huo Yuhao's first Spirit Skill, "Soul Shock."

The million-year Spirit Ring bestowed upon Huo Yuhao by the Sky Dream Iceworm contained four Spirit Skills in total.

This was one of them.

During his previous encounter with Xu Sanshi, he had used this move in conjunction with the Sharingan's genjutsu to pin Xu Sanshi in place.

Huo Yuhao had lived two lives, granting him immense spiritual power, and he had also fused with the source energy of Tian Meng and the spiritual power of Sasuke from his Team 7 days.

Currently, his spiritual cultivation far exceeded his Spirit Power cultivation.

The power of this strike could be imagined.

Had Huo Yuhao not held back slightly, Dai Huabin would likely have been driven insane, if not killed outright.

Even so, Dai Huabin couldn't withstand it and passed out instantly.

As Huo Yuhao thought of Dai Huabin lying in a pool of blood, a wave of satisfaction surged in his heart, and his spiritual power even seemed to have increased slightly.

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

"Next, it's time to see what's inside Dai Huabin's storage ring."

He rolled off the bed and pulled a storage ring that looked quite valuable from his robes.

Huo Yuhao focused his mind, sensing the space within the storage ring.

It was even larger than the one belonging to Xu Sanshi.

This White Tiger Duke Mansion really was wealthy and extravagant, he couldn't help but sigh to himself.

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

One of them was a bone that resembled an animal's metacarpal bone.

Unlike an ordinary metacarpal, this bone was pitch black, its joints clearly defined, and it radiated an ancient and weathered aura.

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

He held the bone in his hand, examining it closely, then cautiously extended a sliver of his spiritual power to make contact with it.

The moment Huo Yuhao's spiritual power touched the bone, an image surfaced in his mind.

It was a ferocious tiger, a full four or five meters long, its body covered in black and white stripes. It had a pair of purple wings on its back, and a faint layer of black airflow surged around its body, with purple lightning occasionally flickering across it.

The Spirit Beast wore a vicious expression, letting out a heaven-shaking roar that vibrated through the entire forest, exuding pure ferocity.

"It seems this really is a Spirit Beast's left arm bone, but what kind of Spirit Beast is this tiger?" Huo Yuhao's face showed surprise.

Among the Spirit Beasts he knew of, only the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Tang San encountered in the first Douluo Continent seemed similar in appearance to this one, yet there were slight differences.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger should be pitch black, while this tiger was black and white.

Huo Yuhao had no way of knowing that this Spirit Beast was called a Dark Demon Tiger. Among the tiger-type Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent, it was the top-tier species, second only to the Golden Tiger King with its golden bloodline and the mutated Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The patterns on the Dark Demon Tiger's body proved it had reached a hundred-year cultivation, the black mist indicated a thousand-year cultivation, and the purple lightning flickering on its body meant this Dark Demon Tiger's cultivation had already reached ten thousand years!

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

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

It had been kept as a legacy Spirit Bone of the White Tiger Duke Mansion for ten thousand years, its value immeasurable.

The reason it ended up with Dai Huabin was due to the Duchess's doting on her youngest son; she had stolen it from the White Tiger Duke Mansion's treasury and given it to him.

Through a series of twists and turns, it had now fallen into Huo Yuhao's hands by coincidence.

Although Huo Yuhao did not know these details, he understood that the value of this Spirit Bone was absolutely incalculable, and this loss would surely cause the White Tiger Duke Mansion great pain for a long time.

Huo Yuhao carefully tucked it away into his own storage spirit tool ring.

Although he had obtained this Spirit Bone by chance, his current cultivation was not yet enough to absorb it.

Huo Yuhao was naturally not so arrogant; without sufficient certainty, he would not attempt to absorb this Spirit Bone.
