If One Day I Become White Emperor, I Shall Make Peach Blossoms Bloom in One Place!

Within the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire.

Bang—!

"Dai Chengfeng, how dare you!"

"Do you have any idea what you've done?"

The dignified man seated high upon the throne slammed his hand down on the armrest of the Dragon Throne, leaving a deep palm-shaped dent in the armrest cast from pure gold.

It was not hard to see how furious he was.

And below the dais.

What had to come still came!

A boy of about six, dressed in luxurious golden robes, shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly.

Then he looked at the furious Star Luo Emperor and asked "blankly," "Royal Father, this son does not know what wrong he has committed."

"You don't know what wrong you've committed?!"

Looking at his fourth son Dai Chengfeng playing dumb, the Star Luo Emperor questioned him angrily, "What fine deed did you do yesterday? And you say you don't know?!"

"Reporting to Royal Father, yesterday this son merely took Uncle to the Soul Hunting Forest and obtained my first soul ring."

"Since this son's soul power had already reached rank ten, what is wrong with obtaining a soul ring?"

Seeing that Dai Chengfeng still refused to admit his mistake, Dai An's expression grew even more livid.

"There is naturally nothing wrong with you obtaining a soul ring!"

"But the Soul Beast I had you hunt was the Golden Scale Beast, so that you could awaken the best First Soul Skill for my Dai Family's White Tiger Spirit: White Tiger Protective Barrier."

"But what about you?!"

"What Soul Beast did you end up having Zhu Fan hunt? And what First Soul Skill did you awaken?!"

Dai Chengfeng cupped his hands with slight solemnity. "Replying to Royal Father."

"The Soul Beast this son had Uncle hunt was a four-hundred-and-fifty-year Geng Metal Beast, and the First Soul Skill awakened was Geng Metal Qi."

At this point.

Relying on the fact that he was only six years old now, Dai Chengfeng tried to act spoiled toward his father in an attempt to muddle through.

"But Royal Father, you can't blame this son for disobeying orders."

"This son truly could not find a Golden Scale Beast, so I absorbed the Geng Metal Beast..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Before Dai Chengfeng could finish, the Star Luo Emperor Dai An could no longer hold back and roared, "You unfilial son, I have not gone senile yet!"

"I had clearly already arranged everything. How could you possibly fail to find a Golden Scale Beast?"

"As I see it, you did this on purpose!"

"Do you even know what you shoulder?"

"You are the first genius of my Dai Clan with Innate Full Soul Power aside from our ancestor!"

"What you carry is not only the glory of my Dai Family's imperial clan, but also the hope of whether the Star Luo Empire can unify Douluo Continent in the future!"

"And yet now, you dare waste your talent like this?"

Dai Chengfeng looked at his father helplessly. "Royal Father, I'm wronged! How could I bear to waste my own talent?"

"Still talking back!"

Dai An's tiger-like eyes were bloodshot, his breathing growing heavier as he looked at Dai Chengfeng with a face full of anger at his failure to live up to expectations.

"Our ancestor laid down the rules long ago!"

"The first three soul rings of my Dai Family members must absorb the Golden Scale Beast, Golden Wave Beast, and Vajra Tiger in order, and respectively awaken White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation..."

"Only in this way can the potential of the White Tiger Spirit be developed to the Maximum Extent, while also making up for the fatal flaws of the White Tiger Spirit's relatively slow movement in its early stage and its inability to deal with distant enemies."

"But look at that lousy Geng Metal Qi of yours!"

"Although it can also threaten enemies at a distance, what about defense?"

Hearing his royal father's questioning, Dai Chengfeng only wanted to roll his eyes.

"Our Dai Family's spirit is the White Tiger, one of the mighty Four Symbols!"

"And yet, Ancestor, you actually had your descendants awaken that nonsense White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation?"

"Don't scam your own descendants like this, hey!"

Although Dai Chengfeng knew that his ancestor had made these rules for his descendants entirely out of good intentions.

Unfortunately.

The upper limit of one's horizons determined the height one's vision could reach.

But Dai Chengfeng, as a transmigrator, was different.

He knew clearly what the White Tiger was!

If he really did as Dai An had said and absorbed the Spirit Rings of the Golden Scale Beast, the Golden Wave Beast, and the Vajra Tiger respectively, awakening the White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation...

That would indeed greatly increase the White Tiger Spirit's early-stage combat strength and make up for its shortcomings as soon as possible.

But!

That was far too eager for quick results, instead of giving priority to making up for the deficiencies in the White Tiger Spirit's origin.

Dai Chengfeng estimated that his ultimate future achievements would, at most, be about the same as the future Dai Mubai's: inheriting the position of a Second Class God.

Even if he went and shamelessly clung to Tang San...

Putting aside the fact that Dai Chengfeng absolutely could not do that, even if he did, at the very most he would only inherit the position of a First Class God, which was already the limit his spirit could reach.

Perhaps for others, simply Becoming a God was already an enormous blessing, and they would not dare hope for too much.

But this was absolutely not what Dai Chengfeng wanted!

The White Tiger Spirit was inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

The limit of the White Tiger Spirit was the Second Class God, God of War?

Absolutely not!

As a transmigrator, Dai Chengfeng was determined to tell the Worldly People in this other world that the white tiger was the Holy Spirit of Heaven, the fierce god of the year, capable of controlling all slaughter and conquest under heaven, and also the Lord of Innate Geng Metal!

He would be the White Emperor!

He would surely stand above God Kings!

"Whew!"

Dai Chengfeng drew in a deep breath. These were all his plans for the future; for now, he still had to do his best to persuade his imperial father.

Perhaps it was because Dai Chengfeng had been naturally precocious, or perhaps because Dai Chengfeng was better at making himself likable...

From the moment he was born until now...

This imperial father of his had been extremely strict with Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, but toward him, he had truly doted on him.

Because of that, Dai Chengfeng actually did not want to disappoint him.

"Imperial Father!"

"I wonder if you have ever heard a saying: the best defense is always offense!"

"And my First Soul Skill, Geng Metal Qi, is so sharp that it can break through the vast majority of barriers under heaven. Its potential is absolutely not something the White Tiger Protective Barrier can compare to!"

"How dare you!"

The Star Luo Emperor, Dai An, instantly rose to his feet, abruptly grabbed the teacup at his side, and hurled it heavily at Dai Chengfeng's feet as he roared in fury.

"You actually said that the potential of your Geng Metal Qi is not something the White Tiger Protective Barrier can compare to?"

"I think what you truly want to say is... that you are even more powerful than our ancestors!!!"

"Dai Chengfeng!"

"Was I, your father, too indulgent and permissive toward you before, and that is why you dare be so arrogant and insolent!"

"When I saw that you had awakened Innate Full Soul Power, I had already decided to support you as the next Crown Prince of my Star Luo Empire."

"This time, I merely wanted you to recognize your mistake and ensure you would not act willfully again when absorbing your Second Spirit Ring and Third Spirit Ring."

"But now it seems that I must give you some punishment!"

As he spoke...

Dai An shouted toward the outside of the palace, "Guards!"

In an instant...

Several Imperial Guards clad in silver armor stepped into the palace and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"I hereby announce!"

"From this day forth, all titles and fiefs of the Fourth Prince, Dai Chengfeng, shall be abolished. He is demoted to a commoner and exiled to Wu'an City!"

"Without my decree, he is not to return to the imperial capital on his own!"

The Imperial Guards were full of astonishment.

After all, who did not know that the most favored prince in the entire Star Luo Empire was this Fourth Prince, Dai Chengfeng?

Although the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire had its own unique rules of succession...

A few days ago, this Fourth Prince had awakened the formidable aptitude of Innate Full Soul Power. Almost everyone believed there would no longer be any suspense over the choice of the next Star Luo Emperor.

The First Prince, Dai Weisi, and the Third Prince, Dai Mubai, were only fit to be reduced to foils for this Fourth Prince.

The Zhu Family had even shamelessly sent Zhu Zhuqing, their Third Daughter who was only a few years old and who should originally have been betrothed to Dai Mubai, into the Fourth Prince's residence.

They claimed it was a fine-sounding reason: that developing feelings earlier would allow them to awaken their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as possible.

But now...

"What kind of mistake did Chengfeng Your Highness commit to make His Majesty so furious?"

"Not only does he want to demote him to a commoner, he even wants to exile him to Wu'an City?"

One had to know that Wu'an City, despite having "peace" in its name, was absolutely no safe place.

On the contrary, it was a border city where the Star Luo Empire met the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although the two great empires had not erupted into any large-scale conflicts again because of Spirit Hall, small-scale bloodshed never stopped.

Wu'an City happened to be one of the main battlefields.

There were always a few days each month when rivers of blood flowed there, and slaughter filled the skies.

"Dai Chengfeng!"

"We ask you one last time. Do you know your mistake?!"

"As long as you are willing to admit your mistake, stop wagering the imperial glory of my Star Luo Empire to test that so-called martial soul development theory of yours that you claim is no weaker than our ancestors', and obediently absorb Soul Rings according to the Ancestral Method..."

"Considering that you are still young, We may yet show you leniency!"

Looking at his imperial father, who seemed ready to revoke every punishment against him as long as he was willing to bow his head and admit his mistake, Dai Chengfeng still shook his head firmly.

"Imperial Father!"

"Were the ancestors necessarily right?"

"Time will prove the ancestors wrong, and I too shall... surpass them!"

With that said.

Dai Chengfeng turned directly and walked toward the outside of the hall, without the slightest hesitation in his retreating figure.

After all, some things could not be compromised on.

"The keen west wind cuts through the whole courtyard; snow is cold, fragrance chilled, yet resolve does not mourn."

"If one day I become the White Emperor, I shall command the Peach Blossoms to bloom as one!"
