Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 4 Zhu Yun'er: My son has the potential to become a god!
Thinking of this, Xuanzi cleared his throat, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhu Yun'er's retreating figure, and spoke sincerely:
"Ahem... Madam, it seems that Xiao Tao and your son get along quite well."

"Why don't we let Xiao Tao stay at the Duke's mansion for a few days, so she can keep the Third Young Master company and the young people can have more interaction? I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Yun'er didn't even bother to turn around; she simply turned her back to him, ignoring him completely and displaying an extremely cold attitude.

Xuanzi's face turned embarrassed again after he was rebuffed.

Helpless, he could only chuckle twice: "In that case, I'll take my leave first. Little Tao, you... please enjoy your stay here as a guest and don't be impolite. I'll bring people to pick you up another day!"

Having said that, Xuanzi didn't linger any longer. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared somewhat hastily outside the main hall.

With Xuanzi gone, the last trace of tension he had brought to the main hall completely dissipated.

Zhu Yun'er then turned around, looked in the direction where Xuanzi had disappeared, and snorted coldly: "Well done, Shrek Academy! I haven't even agreed yet, Yueheng. Is this how Shrek Academy usually acts?"

Dai Yueheng looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and was about to explain, "Mother, actually..."

"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear your explanation."

Zhu Yun'er waved her hand dismissively, then turned her gaze to Ma Xiaotao, who was surrounding Dai Yuntian, her expression complex, but ultimately she did not say anything to drive her away.

Staying for a few days wouldn't be a problem.

Subsequently, Dai Huabin also underwent a martial soul awakening, combining the top-tier beast martial soul of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger with innate level nine soul power.

This drew praise from the steward and others; as expected of a direct descendant of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, his talent was exceptional.

However, because of Dai Tianyun's jade pendant, no one was too surprised.

Zhu Yun'er looked at her second son with satisfaction, her eyes filled with pride.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something, and her gaze immediately turned to her youngest son, Dai Yuntian, her tone filled with unprecedented anticipation and a hint of barely perceptible tension:

"Yun'er, I was so happy just now that I forgot to test your soul power. Come on, let's test it quickly."

Upon hearing this, the once lively hall fell silent once more.

All eyes, including Ma Xiaotao who was about to examine Dai Yuntian's new hair color, were focused on the black-haired, red-eyed boy.

Everyone was curious about how much innate soul power Dai Yuntian possessed.
This person was personally blessed by the gods and designated as their successor!

You have to understand, the miracle that just happened completely overturned their previous understanding.

After all, who would have thought that a little guy who was sickly and looked like he was about to die one second would become rosy-cheeked and full of energy the next?

Dai Yuntian himself was also filled with anticipation.

In his previous life, he hadn't read much of the plot of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect. He only knew that those who received the blessing of the gods would have innate level 20 soul power.

Dai Yuntian took a deep breath and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, calmly replied, "Okay."

He stretched out his still slightly slender hand, but no longer weak and pale, and gently placed it on the transparent crystal ball used for testing.

However, the very next second after his fingertips touched it.

boom!
A crisp popping sound rang out!
The crystal ball, which was powerful enough to withstand level 10 soul power, was instantly covered with cracks, and then exploded into countless fragments in front of everyone's horrified gazes.

"Yun'er!"

Zhu Yun'er's expression changed drastically. Her first instinct was not to look at the crystal ball, but to grab Dai Yuntian's hand and carefully examine it to make sure he wasn't cut by the flying shards. Only then did she breathe a long sigh of relief, though she was still shaken.

"How...how could the crystal ball have shattered?"

Dai Yueheng frowned, his face full of disbelief.

Ma Xiaotao guessed, "Could it be that the crystal ball has been used for too long?"

“It’s not impossible.” Dai Yueheng nodded.

At this moment, Dai Huabin quickly retrieved a crystal ball that was noticeably larger from a side hall and handed it to Zhu Yun'er: "Mother, this crystal ball can test level 20 soul power. Let your little brother try this one too?"

Zhu Yun'er took the larger crystal ball, suppressing her wildly beating heart, and handed it to Dai Yuntian: "Yun'er, try again, but be careful."

Dai Yuntian nodded; he too had been startled by the sudden turn of events.

He reached out his finger again and carefully touched the new crystal ball. This time, it didn't explode.

But at the very moment his fingertips touched it.

A dazzling light illuminated the entire hall.

Inside the crystal ball, the scale representing the soul power level had clearly reached the very top.

This clearly indicates that it is innate level 20 soul power!

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone's expressions froze, filled with utter shock.

A few seconds later, the suffocating silence was broken by Dai Yueheng, a man of great experience, in a trembling, incredulous voice:

"This...this is...innate...level 20 soul power!!"

Just then, Zhu Yun'er's exclamation of wild joy echoed throughout the hall.

This usually elegant and dignified duchess was now completely disregarding her image.

She pulled the still somewhat dazed Dai Yuntian into a tight embrace, planted a firm kiss on his cheek, and laughed heartily, her voice trembling with excitement:
"Hahaha... Level 20 of the Innate Realm! My son, Yun Tian, ​​has the potential to become a god!"

Zhu Yun'er's undisguised pride and joy quickly infected everyone present.

"Mother is right!"

Seeing this, Dai Huabin was also filled with excitement, even more so than when he awakened his own martial soul. He proudly echoed, "My third brother is invincible!"

Standing to the side, Ma Xiaotao patted Dai Yueheng, who was equally shocked, on the shoulder. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement and undisguised envy as she teased him with a smile:
"Great, Dai Yueheng! With a third brother destined to become a god, won't you be able to walk sideways across the continent?"

"Tell me, aren't you super happy right now?"

Dai Yueheng was only brought back to his senses by Ma Xiaotao's touch.

He looked at his third brother, who was being held tightly in his mother's arms and receiving all the attention, and then at his second brother, who was standing to the side looking very proud. A helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face as he sighed.

"Sigh... happy, of course I'm happy..."

At this point, Dai Yueheng paused, his tone tinged with self-deprecation and genuine frustration, and lowered his voice to complain to Ma Xiaotao:
"But... I'm under so much pressure as the eldest brother! I accept that my second brother is more talented than me."

"Now look at this, my third brother has the potential to become a god, with innate level 20 soul power... I'm afraid my eldest brother's cultivation level can't even catch up to him."

“In the future, when the three of us brothers went out, people would introduce us: ‘This is the deity Dai Yuntian, this is the genius Dai Huabin, and this is… their eldest brother Dai Yueheng.’”

"Tell me, where do I put my face...?"

Although Dai Yueheng said "Where do you put your face?", the pride in his eyes was genuine.

This "happy trouble" made Ma Xiaotao burst out laughing, and she glared at him angrily: "You, Dai Yueheng, don't show off like that!"

Her eyes darted around, a hint of mockery in her expression, and she leaned closer, half-jokingly saying, "But if you don't want this little brother, how about I give him to you? I'd really like a little brother who's both powerful and adorable!"

Ma Xiaotao's witty remark was like a thunderbolt, instantly waking Dai Yueheng.

He instantly recalled the rumors about Ma Xiaotao from Shrek Academy...

It is said that this "fire maniac" always kept his distance from his peers, not because he was inherently arrogant.

Or perhaps they have some kind of...unknown, peculiar hobby?

For example... being particularly "interested" in young boys with delicate features?
The thought of the rumors circulating in the academy about "pedophilia"
Combined with Ma Xiaotao's overly enthusiastic attitude towards Dai Yuntian just now.

Dai Yueheng's heart tightened suddenly.

Oh no! Could those rumors actually be true?
Thinking of this, Dai Yueheng immediately straightened his face, glaring at her sternly like a mother hen protecting her chicks:
"You wish! This is a treasure of our White Tiger Duke's Mansion, a future deity. How dare you covet it? Not a chance!"

Seeing Dai Yueheng's strong reaction, Ma Xiaotao muttered unhappily, "Tch! Why so nervous... Who can predict the future..."

"Besides, if there's no door, there must be a window, right?"
