Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 194 Compromise?

"Not only his peers, but also his older female classmates, all have complete faith in him. Throughout the entire competition, whenever he appears, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the absolute core. Just how much is Shrek Academy hiding? Jiu Jiu, you sensed signs of a change in his martial soul..."

"Then do we have reason to suspect that Huo Yuhao's martial soul is related to the power of stars? And that his martial soul is the eye of a spiritual attribute physical martial soul..."

"Let's be a little bolder and guess, is it possible that this kid has a second martial soul? Or perhaps a top-grade martial soul that could benefit Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix and possess the power of stars?"

Xu Jiawei's words left her somewhat stunned. She recalled her previous interactions with Huo Yuhao, scenes flashing through her mind...

"But Your Majesty, Dai Hao's martial soul is the White Tiger, while Huo Yun'er's martial soul is the Eye. Even if Huo Yuhao truly has a second martial soul, how could it possibly be outside the bloodline of his parents?"

Xu Jiawei raised an eyebrow and said, "We wouldn't know about that, but don't forget there's an extremely special kind of martial spirit in this world, a kind that can exist independently of bloodline inheritance..."

At this point, Xu Jiujiu's face paled instantly, her beautiful sapphire eyes filled with disbelief.

"Brother, do you mean...?"

Xu Jiawei nodded slightly and uttered the name of that legendary being, word by word.

"God-level Martial Soul!"

Suddenly, silence fell over the surroundings. Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu, the brother and sister, looked at each other, and a solemn and serious atmosphere filled the air.

After a long silence, Xu Jiujiu slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice, "I understand, Your Majesty. When I take Huo Yuhao into the Treasury later, I will try my best to extract as much information as possible."

Xu Jiawei shook his head, rejecting Xu Jiujiu's idea, and said, "Just ask him directly, no need to beat around the bush. The closeness of their martial soul bloodlines will definitely make him choose to be honest with you. Even if he's hiding something, so what? Everyone has secrets. When facing a prodigy like Huo Yuhao, remember, focus on guiding and giving, never try to control him!"

"No strong person likes to be controlled, and no man can stand a woman with a strong desire to control. Although your sister-in-law seems to keep a close eye on me, you should know that most of the time, she never interferes with me when it comes to important matters."

"True and profound feelings are always based on mutual understanding and mutual support. Minor squabbles are harmless, but those unreasonable and jealous women often only end up trapping themselves! They destroy others while also destroying themselves."

After a long pause, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Brother, I understand."

"Let's continue watching the match. Next up is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."

The inner palace of Duke White Tiger.

Dai Hao and Fan Zhizheng sat together with serious expressions. Although the fragrant tea on the tea table was still steaming, neither of them had any interest in drinking it.

"Uncle Fan, have you heard anything about Yao Heng these days? Have you found any trace of Luo Li?"

Fan Zhixie shook his head and said, "Luo Li should have left his villa last night. But to disappear from the White Tiger Duke's mansion so quietly, he must have been taken away by someone else."

"As for Key Balance... there's absolutely no news..."

Dai Hao's unease grew heavier, and he had lost all interest in military affairs these past few days. The evil spirit master lurking in the shadows, relentlessly targeting their White Tiger Duke's mansion, remained elusive.

"Dai Hao, I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Seeing Fan Zhixie's solemn expression, Dai Hao nodded slightly.

"Is it possible that the mole and evil spirit master is among these missing people?"

Dai Hao's breath hitched, his tiger-like eyes widened, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Fan Zhixie's words were not loud, but each word struck Dai Hao's heart like a giant hammer, blatantly presenting a possibility that he had never dared to think about before his eyes!

Dai Hao was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said slowly and in a deep voice, "I understand what Uncle Fan means... If that's really the case, I definitely won't hold back..."

"well..."

Fan Zhixie sighed softly, continuing his earlier guess, "Whether it is or not, and whoever it is, we all have a problem we have to face now."

Dai Hao's eyes dimmed slightly, but as the Duke of the White Tiger, he had a duty to shoulder the responsibility for the life and death of the White Tiger lineage. There were many things he could no longer ignore...

"I understand. The culprit must have used some special means to cover up their tracks, otherwise we wouldn't be flying around like headless flies like this now."

Fan Zhixie nodded; what Dai Hao said was exactly what he was worried about. To be able to bypass the perception of a Title Douluo like him, to run rampant throughout the Duke's mansion as if it were empty, committing atrocities with impunity...

This is something that no ordinary Soul Emperor or Soul Saint could accomplish!

"The culprit hasn't yet extended their reach to the Soul Saint level. We should focus our efforts on protecting the White Tiger bloodline members, whose cultivation levels are lower. Dai Hao, it's time to give the order."

Hearing Fan Zhixie's words, Dai Hao did not respond immediately, but remained deep in thought.

"Dai Hao?"

Fan Zhixie frowned slightly. He didn't understand what Dai Hao was still hesitating about, given the current critical situation.

"Uncle Fan, I'm wondering if we should directly compromise with the Star Luo Royal Family and use their power to preserve the White Tiger lineage..."

Dai Hao's expression was extremely solemn, and when he spoke his thoughts, there was no hint of joking.

Fan Zhixie never imagined that one day he would hear the word "compromise" from Dai Hao's mouth. This resolute man, whom he had watched grow up, would one day have the thought of backing down.

There was no one else around, only Fan Zhixie and Dai Hao. Outside the main room, the sky was overcast and threatening to fall, giving the impression that a storm was brewing...

After a long silence, Fan Zhixie took a deep breath, looked directly into Dai Hao's eyes, and asked with utmost seriousness, "Are you really sure? The nobles within the empire haven't been completely purged yet, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is their spiritual banner! If you choose to betray these people, what ability will the White Tiger Duke's Mansion have to protect itself in the eyes of the Star Luo Royal Family?"

"Don't forget! Yao Heng and Hua Bin just nearly severed our millennia-long connection with Shrek Academy. If the Star Luo royal family chooses to discard their usefulness after their usefulness is over, and the nobles are wiped out, will the White Tiger Duke's Mansion still have any chance of protecting itself?"

Dai Hao did not avoid Fan Zhixie's gaze. The veteran general, who had spent half his life on the battlefield, had a hint of worry in his eyes. Only in front of this close friend of his father, Uncle Fan, who had raised him, did Dai Hao dare to reveal his thoughts almost without reservation.

"But Uncle Fan, I have a feeling this time, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion might not be able to hold out..."
