Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux Exposed, Xuan Zi Speaks Out!

Huo Yuhao nodded apologetically.

"Xiaotao, if I get the chance, I'll definitely go."

Ma Xiaotao's expression dimmed.

It seemed Wang Dong mattered far more to Huo Yuhao than she did.

Nearby, Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said with a crooked grin,

"Leave the finals to us."

Bei Bei's words put Huo Yuhao at ease.

But he knew that without him and Wang Dong, Shrek Academy was certain to lose this match.

They might score a few points in the individual bouts, but in every other fight, they would be crushed.

At that moment, the Sky Curtain began to shift.

[Huo Yuhao's suffering began with his origins.]

[He was the son of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and the maid Huo Yun'er.]

[Strangely, Dai Hao had been commanding troops away from home and did not know he had a son.]

[Without a father to protect him, Huo Yuhao and his mother suffered constant mistreatment.]

[His mother, Huo Yun'er, eventually worked herself sick and died in despair.]

[The boy with the Spirit Eyes escaped the man-eating White Tiger Duke's Mansion and swore to avenge his mother.]

[That year, after five years of training, Huo Yuhao—with his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power of level one—finally reached level ten. He could obtain his First Soul Ring.]

At the sight of the Sky Curtain—

In the world of Douluo II—

Everyone was stunned.

This was a scandal from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

How often did ordinary people get to hear about one of those?

So even a great noble house was full of sordid scheming.

It was obvious that Huo Yuhao and his mother, Huo Yun'er, had been bullied by the Duchess.

But how could Huo Yuhao, born with level-one Innate Soul Power, take revenge?

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion had a Titled Douluo, after all.

At the Star Luo Imperial Family's palace—

Emperor Xu Jiawei was stunned as well.

He had never expected his dear friend to have a scandal like this.

Yet he was pleased.

If Dai Hao had no flaws, Xu Jiawei would have been far more wary of him.

Meanwhile, on the front lines—

Dai Hao stared at the Sky Curtain from inside his command tent, dumbfounded.

He had not known Huo Yun'er had borne him a child.

And Huo Yun'er had been driven to her death?

How had he known nothing about it?

Dai Hao flew into a rage.

But his responsibilities were too great for him to leave the front without permission.

So after flying into a rage, all he could do was write a letter furiously rebuking his wife.

He also hurriedly sent people to find Huo Yuhao.

"So Yun'er bore my child?"

"With Innate Soul Power of only level one, he must have suffered so much to get where he is."

"And he even entered Shrek Academy. In the future, he'll win the Soul Master Tournament."

Dai Hao resolved to make it up to Huo Yuhao.

He would bring the boy back to his side.

Elsewhere—

Among the Shrek group, Dai Yueheng turned to Huo Yuhao in shock.

His voice trembled as he asked,

"So, Yuhao, you're my younger brother?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer—

Ma Xiaotao stepped in front of Dai Yueheng.

"So this is how the Dai Family treated Yuhao."

"Yuhao, don't pay him any attention."

Ma Xiaotao was furious.

No wonder Huo Yuhao was so cautious in the way he handled things.

The other Shrek Seven Devils wore troubled expressions too.

They had never imagined that Huo Yuhao's original name was Dai Yuhao.

Or that he had such tangled ties to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Huo Yuhao had never expected the Sky Curtain to expose all of this.

He smiled bitterly to himself.

Of course. Once I made it onto this ranking, this day was bound to come.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion drove my mother to her death. Even its servants tried to make me bow my head!

No matter what it costs, one day I'll trample everything that mansion stands for and kill the White Tiger Duke with the White Tiger Dagger in my own hand.

But now that all my plans are exposed, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion will never let me keep growing stronger!

Huo Yuhao decided to lay it all bare.

"My surname is Huo. Dai Hao is not my father, and I don't have an older brother. I'm just Huo Yuhao."

At those words, Dai Yueheng closed his eyes.

He knew no words could dispel the hatred in Huo Yuhao's heart.

In the world of Douluo I—

Wang Dong trembled as she watched the Sky Curtain.

She had never imagined Huo Yuhao's childhood had been so miserable.

No wonder his face had darkened whenever anyone mentioned childhood.

She had thought being used as a pawn was miserable enough. Somehow, Huo Yuhao had had it even worse.

Beside her, Qian Renxue looked at Wang Dong, now dressed in a yellow-and-purple shop assistant's uniform, and offered some comfort.

"Keep watching. Maybe he gets his revenge in the end."

Only Phainon, who knew what came later, wore a peculiar expression.

What face would Huo Yuhao make if he knew he'd eventually change his name to Dai Yuhao?

So Phainon added a qualification.

"Whatever happens in the future, the course of events has already changed, hasn't it?"

"You're Wang Dong now, and Huo Yuhao might change his future too."

Wang Dong was his employee now, after all.

At least until she paid off her debt.

He still had to look after his employee's state of mind.

I really am a good boss, Phainon thought.

Wang Dong looked at her black-hearted boss.

"I didn't think you were such a good person. Aside from how ruthless you are when it's time to collect money."

Phainon's expression darkened.

What do you mean, black-hearted?

My name is Phainon!

Of course my heart is white!

Black-hearted? That would be Black Calamity!

Then the Sky Curtain resumed.

[Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, began to transform the moment he left the Duke's Mansion.]

[His first destination was the Star Dou Great Forest. He clumsily hunted Soul Beasts and nearly died at the hands of a ten-year Wind Baboon.]

[Fortunately, he encountered the million-year Soul Beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, gained a Million-Year Soul Ring, and acquired four Soul Skills.]

[The Divine Sense of Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer, also took up residence within him.]

[Later, with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help, he even awakened a Second Martial Soul: the Ice Empress!]

[She was one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.]

[With Electrolux's help, Huo Yuhao developed a form of Soul Beast known as the Soul Spirit.]

[In the end, even the Snow Empress became Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit.]

At the sight of this—

Everyone in both the world of Douluo I and the world of Douluo II was dumbstruck.

How had the Child of Destiny nearly died to a Wind Baboon?

He started out with a Million-Year Soul Ring from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and four Soul Skills?

And what in the world was Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer? Was he a god?

His Second Martial Soul was the Ice Empress, and even the Snow Empress became his Soul Spirit?

What in the world was a Soul Spirit?

Everyone was stunned. This lay completely beyond anything they knew.

But in many hearts, shock gave way to feverish greed.

Yes, any one of the things Huo Yuhao possessed would have made anyone drool. And he had so many of them.

In an instant, countless eyes across the continent turned toward Huo Yuhao's location.

At that moment—

Ma Xiaotao looked at Huo Yuhao and thought,

So Yuhao's Second Martial Soul isn't just Ultimate Ice. It's the Ice Empress Martial Soul.

No wonder it suppresses Evil Fire so powerfully.

That explains it.

Ma Xiaotao did not blame Huo Yuhao for keeping it from her. She patted her chest and declared,

"Yuhao, anyone who wants to come after you will have to get past me first."

Just then, a figure appeared in an instant.

It was their supervising teacher, Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi spoke.

"Yuhao, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can touch you."

Xuan Zi did think Huo Yuhao was extraordinarily lucky to have so much to rely on.

But how could a teacher covet his student's possessions?

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart.

Even so, when it came to the unreliable Xuan Zi, he would rather politely decline.

Back then, Xuan Zi had nearly bungled things against a mere Soul King.

If his teacher Electrolux had not intervened, Huo Yuhao would have been dead long ago.
