Douluo: Dark-eyed White Tiger Huo Yuhao

Afterwards, at Xu Jiawei's request, he demonstrated the Ice Scorpion Martial Spirit to them.

A strong chill suddenly emanated from Huo Yuhao's body, filling the entire room. If the people sitting in this room were not soul masters, just staying here would have made them feel extremely cold.

Xu Jiawei looked at the girl next to him for confirmation. The girl opened her eyes and nodded slightly at him.

Xu Jiawei let out a long breath and smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect there would be such a magical thing in the world..."

Then, he looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said solemnly:

"Yuhao, let me be frank. Do you really hate me? Are you very dissatisfied with me for stopping Dai Hao from killing your mother's murderer?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly.

"No."

"Really?"

"real."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and whispered:

"I did have this thought at first, but after learning about the relationship between you and the Duchess, I calmed down."

Because he regarded the Duchess as an enemy, he also investigated Xu Jiawei, who had saved the Duchess at the time.

After investigation, he found that the relationship between Xu Jiawei and the Duchess was not as good as he imagined, and it could even be said to be very bad.

When fighting for the throne of Xingluo, the Duchess actually stood on the side of Xu Jiawei's younger brother, who was also Xu Jiawei's competitor, and caused a lot of trouble for Xu Jiawei back then.

There is no need to talk about family affection between them. It would not be an exaggeration to describe their relationship as enemies.

Some even speculated that the previous Xingluo Emperor married her to Dai Hao in order to prevent Xu Jiawei from settling scores later.

Only after knowing the true relationship between them did Huo Yuhao calmly reflect and review what happened that year.

Why did Xu Jiawei save the Duchess's life under the circumstances?

The answer is simple: think about the consequences if he doesn't do it.

Dai Hao is the current Duke of White Tiger. He is also a general who holds great military power and has extraordinary control over the army. He personally killed the most beloved princess of the late emperor for a woman who was not even a concubine. No matter what the reason behind it, it has extraordinary political significance.

Even if Dai Hao didn't have that idea in his mind, after he did this, it didn't matter what he was thinking, and the other ministers would not listen to his explanation.

In the worst case scenario, the Xingluo Empire will face full-scale civil unrest, and will eventually be destroyed by a surprise attack by the Sun-Moon Empire.

Xu Jiawei would never allow this situation to happen, so the Duchess must not die, at least not in that way.

After understanding the reason, Huo Yuhao's resentment towards Xu Jiawei dissipated.

In that incident, Xu Jiawei was more protecting Dai Hao than the Duchess.

If he hadn't done this, even Huo Yuhao might not be alive today.

A hint of surprise appeared in Xu Jiawei's eyes, and he couldn't help but applaud in admiration.

"Dai Hao told me before that you were very smart. At that time, I didn't agree with him, thinking that he was doting on his child too much. Now it seems that he was not exaggerating. You are indeed very smart."

According to Huo Yuhao, he only hated Xu Jiawei in the early days, which means that he probably figured out the reason behind it when he was seven or eight years old.

It is not easy to figure out the truth behind this at such a young age. Many adults may not have this level of thinking ability.

Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I don't care about anything else. I just want to know if you will protect me in the future in the same way you protected Dai Hao?"

Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Jiawei stopped Dai Hao to protect him, but unfortunately Huo Yuhao himself did not want this type of protection.

Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes and said softly:

"Well, I protected Dai Hao back then because he and I were weak. But if you truly possess enough strength to be considered powerful, I naturally wouldn't have to protect you. On the contrary, I want you to protect our Xingluo Empire in return."

"Okay, thank you."

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.

Xu Jiawei’s meaning was very simple. As long as Huo Yuhao possessed absolute power enough to ignore the secular world, he would not interfere any further.

It was enough to get this answer, he just had to work towards it.

Now that he has obtained the top-level second martial soul and top-level soul bone, Huo Yuhao is more confident than ever.

He believed that he would be able to reach that level in the future.

In response to this, Xu Jiawei smiled with satisfaction.

He winked at Xu Jiujiu, who was standing beside him, and he took out a wooden box from the storage soul guide and placed it on the table.

He placed his hand on it and said seriously:

"Yuhao, I can roughly guess what you're thinking right now. Thank you for informing us before going to Shrek. In that case, I won't beat around the bush."

After saying that, he suddenly opened the lid.

"That's how sincere I am."

A piece of emerald green soul bone lay quietly in the box.

About the relationship between Xu Jiawei and the Duchess.

There is an interesting detail in the original book, that is, the Duchess died of illness.

It would be easy to explain if she really was a member of the Zhu family, but since this book is about the identity of the princess of the Xu family, we naturally have to think about it based on this premise.

As everyone knows, the strongest healing Super Douluo in the entire continent, Wang Xian'er, is in the Xingluo Empire. Theoretically, as long as Xu Jiawei wants, it is impossible for the Duchess to die of illness.

Then we can conclude that the relationship between these two people is not very good, and Xu Jiawei even hopes that she will die soon.

Chapter 59 Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone

"This is--"

The moment he saw this soul bone, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of familiarity.

The next second, Bingdi's roar sounded in his mind.

"asshole!"

He was startled and asked in his heart:

"Hyotei, what's wrong?"

Before Bingdi could explain to him, Xu Jiawei gave the answer.

"The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone is between 50,000 and 70,000 years old. The soul skill attached to it has been solidified into the Ice Explosion Technique. As long as you absorb it, you will successfully obtain this divine skill."

Having said this, he smiled kindly.

"This is my sincerity. What do you think? There is no soul bone in the world more suitable for your second martial soul than this, right?"

"..."

Huo Yuhao finally understood why the Ice Emperor was so angry.

This is equivalent to throwing the corpses of her people directly in front of her. There is no way she would be happy.

He didn't dare to disturb the Ice Emperor now, so he asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm:

"Brother Tianmeng, is Ice Explosion some powerful soul skill?"

"Amazing, quite amazing."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately replied:

"Ice Explosion is the undisputed strongest innate skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Its power can only be described as exaggerated. It's a pity that it is too rare. Even Bingbing doesn't have this skill. Otherwise, I would definitely help you make this soul skill your first soul skill."

"Tian Meng is right."

Bingdi also interrupted. Although her tone was still very unhappy, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice:

"If I had the Ice Explosion Technique during my lifetime, I might even have been able to challenge the Snow Empress. The power of this soul skill is undeniable. Yuhao, you must obtain this soul bone."

"understood."

Huo Yuhao nodded in his heart and asked Xu Jiawei:

"So what do I need to do?"

It is impossible that the Xingluo Emperor is going to give him this priceless soul bone for free. He must have some requirements.

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly.

"It's simple. You can't tell Shrek Academy about your second martial spirit. Also, after you graduate from Shrek Academy, you must return to the Star Luo Empire and serve our country."

Having said this, he said in a very tempting tone:

"If you agree, I can open the national treasury to you once every three years before you become a Titled Douluo, allowing you to choose any treasure from it. I tell you the truth, Yuhao, even this Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone is not the best in our national treasury."

"..."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but fall silent.

To be honest, he did not expect Xu Jiawei to make this level of commitment before he came.

Picking out a treasure in three years may sound average, but it also depends on the level of the treasure.

According to Xu Jiawei, if Huo Yuhao chooses spirit bones every time, he will have a full set of spirit bones by the time he is in his early twenties, and they will all be top-level spirit bones that are not inferior to this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.

He could even choose a few for Zhu Yun if he wanted.

Shrek Academy probably cannot give him this level of treatment.

With this thought in mind, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Xu Jiawei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

Xu Jiawei also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the conditions just proposed were also very painful for him. If Huo Yuhao was unwilling to agree, he really had no good solution.

Not to mention anything else, the estimated value given by professionals for this piece of Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone alone is 20 million gold soul coins.

You should know that Xingluo City's annual tax revenue is only around 60 million gold soul coins, and 20 million gold soul coins is already four months' tax revenue for Xingluo City, which is truly priceless.
