There was nothing flashy about this punch, only the fierce howl of its fist force!
It even contained violent wind and thunder!
For a moment, Dai Weisi felt as though he was not fighting a boy seated in a wheelchair.
The one opposing him seemed to be a mighty Gorilla King!
Boom!!!
The White Tiger Intense Light Wave collided head-on with Dai Yunzhao's punch.
The wheelchair beneath Dai Yunzhao shattered with a bang!
His crimson-edged, wide-sleeved robe embroidered with gold was revealed in full.
The brothers had exchanged blows in an instant.
Yet in that instant, Dai Weisi staggered backward!
Dai Weisi's face was filled with disbelief!
The Evil Eye White Tiger of their Star Luo Imperial Family was already among the strongest assault-type Martial Souls.
Yet in that direct clash just now, he had actually been forced back!
And his opponent had not even used a single soul skill!
Dai Yunzhao's punch had made him feel as if he had crashed into a wall!
How was that possible?!
Wasn't Dai Yunzhao a worthless cripple born with only half a rank of Soul Power, incapable of cultivation?
How had he sent him flying back with a single punch?!
The people around them looked at one another in astonishment as well.
They all said that although the Fourth Prince was crippled, his exceptional military talent had still earned him high praise throughout the court and the realm.
Only now, after seeing him in person!
Who could have imagined that Dai Weisi, who had already killed the Second Prince and driven away the Third Prince, would actually suffer a setback!
What was more... Dai Weisi was a full eight years older than Dai Yunzhao!
Dai Weisi was now a genuine Level 40 Soul Ancestor!
And what about Dai Yunzhao?
Over the past years, Dai Yunzhao had always been regarded as a useless cripple unable to cultivate, with only half a rank of Soul Power.
Yet now, having suddenly broken free from his cage, the force of his punch had actually driven back Dai Weisi, whose Soul Power Level was higher than his!
This was also the first time Dai Yunzhao had directly experienced Wild Gorilla's strength.
Wild Gorilla was a War King whose attack and defense were both fully maxed out.
In the Machine Beast World, Fierce Tiger King had maxed out speed, while Tyrannosaurus God had maxed out attack and flight.
Wild Gorilla, meanwhile, had maxed out both attack and defense!
When Fierce Tiger King faced the Flowing Shadow Lightning Flash, he had openly declared that he had to avoid its edge.
When Tyrannosaurus God faced the Heavenly Feather Dragon-Slaughtering Dance, he too had been unable to break free from its restraints.
Only Wild Gorilla, when facing the Polar Sandstorm, the ultimate offensive technique, had chosen to meet the attack head-on!
Now, Dai Yunzhao possessed the fastest Fierce Tiger King, along with Wild Gorilla, whose defense and attack were both maxed out.
He had truly become an all-around hexagonal warrior!
Over the past six years, because the two War Kings had been growing, his Soul Power had not advanced at all.
Now that the cold poison had receded, his Soul Power instead began rising rapidly!
Starting from the basic Level 20, it continued climbing.
Level 21!
Level 22!
Level 23!
Level 28!
Dai Yunzhao's Soul Power finally settled at Level 28.
A twelve-year-old Soul Grandmaster!
No!
He was already infinitely close to becoming a Soul Elder!
Moreover, Dai Yunzhao possessed two Martial Souls. His Soul Power was in no way inferior to Dai Weisi's.
The only difference between them was their soul skills!
Dai Weisi shouted sharply, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"
The people standing behind Dai Weisi all exchanged uncertain looks.
The reason they had placed their bets on Dai Weisi was nothing more than because they valued his ruthlessness and talent!
Now, the only one who could compete with Dai Weisi for the throne was the exiled Dai Mubai.
But Dai Mubai had been suppressed by Dai Weisi since childhood and was not worth fearing at all.
Everyone was in Star Luo, and anyone with eyes could see that Dai Weisi becoming the next emperor was practically set in stone.
But...
What was happening now?
Dai Yunzhao had actually stood up!
He had even forced Dai Weisi back!
Didn't that mean Dai Yunzhao possessed greater talent?
Dai Weisi looked coldly at these people and roared, "A bunch of idiots! You're standing here right now. If he wins, do you think you'll still have any chance of surviving?!"
Everyone immediately came to their senses.
Dai Yunzhao truly was more talented.
But they had already chosen to side with Dai Weisi!
If Dai Yunzhao successfully took the throne, they would inevitably be the first ones sacrificed to make an example of others.
A group of Soul Emperors began closing in on Dai Yunzhao.
Dai Yunzhao merely stretched his limbs.
"My dear eldest brother, it seems Father isn't all that close to you either!"
"You went through all that trouble to kill me, yet you could only gather a few Soul Emperors?"
"After scheming and cultivating influence for so many years, did you build it all in a dog's belly?"
Dai Weisi's face turned green, then white, in response to Dai Yunzhao's mockery!
Over the years, although many people had gravitated toward him, even more had chosen to watch from the sidelines.
After all, in the Star Luo Empire, it did not matter to those military and court nobles who became emperor.
Emperors came and went, but noble houses endured!
Besides, a struggle between brothers was, no matter what, a family matter.
Would outsiders meddling in it not mean they had no regard for the Star Luo Emperor, who commanded an army of millions?
Those who chose to place their bets merely wanted to seize an opportunity for drastic change and strengthen their families.
Dai Weisi had not wanted to summon these people in the first place.
It was simply too beneath him!
But he wanted to see just how desperate his Fourth Brother, who had always remained calm in the face of change, would look before he died!
He wanted to display his superiority here!
He wanted to create the impression that the entire Star Luo Empire was already in his grasp.
But falsehood was falsehood in the end!
One light poke from Dai Yunzhao had shattered it.
Dai Weisi shouted sharply, "Dai Yunzhao! Leaving aside the eleven-level gap in Soul Power between us, how do you intend to fight the Soul Emperors standing here?!"
Seeing Dai Weisi so enraged, Dai Yunzhao could not help but laugh.
"Eldest Brother, someone who wants to be emperor cannot lose his composure like this."
The more calm and composed Dai Yunzhao appeared at this moment, the more it made Dai Weisi seem like a dog driven into a corner!
Dai Weisi knew very well that if he did not kill Dai Yunzhao today, he would never have another chance.
Dai Yunzhao was far too much like a chosen son of heaven!
Strange phenomena had appeared in the heavens at his birth, and he had won every battle on the front lines.
Now, even his personal strength, which had drawn the most criticism, was gradually recovering.
Facing a Dai Yunzhao like this, he did not know how he could win!
Once news of today spread beyond the palace walls, the entire Star Luo Empire would surely turn against him!
The image he had spent so many years building would undoubtedly suffer a tremendous blow among the civil and military officials.
The more Dai Weisi thought about it, the more anxious he became.
His expression darkened. "Fourth Brother, you cannot blame Eldest Brother. If you must blame someone, blame the fact that we were born into the imperial family. We never had a choice!"
Dai Yunzhao raised a finger and shook it.
"No, no, no. Eldest Brother, you had no choice. I have plenty of choices!"
"Now that my Soul Power has recovered, I can travel the world in the future and still become a grandmaster!"
"If I join the army, the generals will all submit to me and honor me as their commander!"
"Now, within these palace walls, I also have helpers to deal with the rabble you brought!"
"Only you! My dear eldest brother, it seems that after today, you will never have another choice!"
In an instant, the balance between offense and defense had reversed!
Dai Weisi's eyelids twitched wildly!
He knew that everything Dai Yunzhao said was true.
Dai Yunzhao's prestige in the court, among the people, and in the army was simply too immense!
It was truly unfair!
They were both members of the Star Luo Imperial Family, so how had he managed to lead troops and kill enemies while still in his teens?!
Dai Yunzhao suddenly seemed to remember something. Pointing at Dai Weisi, he laughed:
"Oh, right, Eldest Brother, I still have another choice! Once you die, I shall raise your wife!"
