Chapter 17: Deep-rooted hatred

Time flashed back five years ago, when Huo Yuhao was six years old.

In a magnificent building, two children were standing side by side.

A child has blond hair, brightly dressed, tall, and a proud expression on his face.

In contrast, the other child was wearing linen clothes that had been washed white and had a few patches on it. He looked very shabby and was relatively thin.

He clasped his hands together, looking a little timid.

Standing in front of the two people was a beautiful woman with luxurious clothes and a mean face, the White Tiger Duchess.

At this time, the White Tiger Duchess, who was wearing a palace dress, said to the tall child with a doting look on her face: "Bin'er, this time the martial arts awakens, don't let mother down. Mother is outside, waiting for your good." information."

Dai Huabin replied with a proud look on his face: "Don't worry, mother, I will successfully awaken the White Tiger Martial Spirit."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back room.

After Mrs. Baihu watched her son enter the room dotingly, her eyes glanced at Huo Yuhao who was standing aside. Her face immediately changed to an expression of disgust, and she snorted loudly and unabashedly: "Humph, you little bastard."

The six-year-old Huo Yuhao stood there timidly, looking a little at a loss. Then he remembered his mother's gentle smile before his martial soul awakened: "Yuhao, whether you have awakened your soul power or not, you are still my mother's good son. , go ahead, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, my mother will always love you.”

Thinking of his mother's body that coughed from time to time, Huo Yuhao mustered up his courage and turned around and entered the room.

In the room, an old-looking butler from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was awakening Dai Huabin's martial spirit.

Dai Huabin stood in front of the housekeeper and closed his eyes tightly.

A moment later, a majestic tiger roar sounded behind Dai Huabin, and a lifelike white tiger phantom appeared behind Dai Huabin.

The housekeeper suddenly beamed with joy and said excitedly: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, for successfully awakening the White Tiger Martial Spirit."

"Young Master, test the innate soul power level again."

Dai Huabin put his hand on the test ball for testing the soul power level, and a dazzling white light flashed by.

The housekeeper said excitedly: "You are indeed a young master. His innate soul power is level 8. He is definitely a rare genius."

Dai Huabin raised his head high and said, "This is natural."

After saying that, he walked aside and stared at Huo Yuhao with an unkind expression.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and bowed politely to the butler: "Grandpa Butler, please help me awaken my martial spirit."

When the butler saw the visitor, his face was neither salty nor cold. After saying "hmm", he motioned for Huo Yuhao to stand in front of him, and then put his hand on Huo Yuhao's head: "Hold your breath and concentrate, carefully feel the martial spirit in your body." ”

Huo Yuhao felt a warm current flowing through his body. After a while, his eyes seemed to feel itchy. Then, he opened his eyes. His originally clean eyes became extremely clear, and there seemed to be stars emerging from them.

When the housekeeper saw this, he said with some surprise: "The martial soul mutated! It turned out to be the original martial soul, eyes!"

Huo Yuhao was quite disappointed because he was not the White Tiger Spirit.

But fortunately, judging from the butler's tone, the mutated eye martial soul seems to be pretty good?

Some hope rose in his heart.

"Huh." Dai Huabin on the side curled his lips dissatisfied.

"Test the innate soul power again." The butler still had a calm tone.

Huo Yuhao put his palm on the soul power test ball, and a sad scene happened to him. The light emitted by the soul power test ball was much smaller than the light emitted when Dai Huabin tested it just now.

The light was faint, like a firefly.

Seeing this, the housekeeper shook his head: "The innate soul power is at the first level. It seems that the martial soul has mutated and mutated into a useless martial soul."

Huo Yuhao's face turned pale, as if he was struck by five thunders, and he lowered his head sadly.

When Dai Huabin on the other end saw this, he laughed unscrupulously: "The bastard is indeed a bastard. Even his martial spirit is a useless martial spirit that is worse than rubbish. I laughed to death."

Huo Yuhao left in despair.

He didn't remember how he got home. He only remembered that after returning home, his mother Huo Yun'er was not disappointed. Instead, she said to him with joy: "Wow, my Yuhao is great. He has such a beautiful one." With the eyes martial soul, Yuhao will definitely become a powerful soul master in the future, become his mother’s eyes, and protect her, right?”

His mother's love inspired Huo Yuhao to cheer up again, and he said firmly: "Yes, Yuhao will definitely become a powerful soul master to protect his mother in the future."

The mother and son were enjoying themselves happily, but still lived a difficult life.

But since the day Huo Yuhao's martial soul awakened, life for Huo's mother and son has become increasingly difficult.

Originally, the White Tiger Duke's Palace could give the mother and son a few copper soul coins as a monthly subsidy. Although it was not much, it was at least enough for them to maintain the most basic life.

But after the martial arts awakened, the Duchess began to suppress the two of them without concealment, and the mother and son were cut off from their only source of livelihood.

The two could only rely on Huo Yun'er to help others sew some clothes to earn the minimum supplies needed for life.

The price was that Huo Yun'er's already poor body became even weaker.

Although life was a bit difficult, as the two depended on each other for life, the young Huo Yuhao felt that there was still hope in life.

But tragedy happened that day.

That day, Huo Yuhao, who was fetching water, happened to meet Dai Huabin, who was playing with a bunch of servants.

When Dai Huabin saw Huo Yuhao, a sinister light flashed in his eyes.

Then he took a few servants to surround Huo Yuhao.

"Hmph, little bastard, I told you not to let me see you again. You dare to bump into me in this place today, beat me!" Dai Huabin raised a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't!" Huo Yuhao argued.

The servants didn't care about Huo Yuhao's explanation at all, and beat Huo Yuhao to the ground in a few strokes.

Only six years old, the frail Huo Yuhao had no power to resist, and could only let them punch and kick him.

"No, don't hit my Yuhao." Before Huo Yuhao fainted, he only heard his mother's urgent shouting.

After an unknown period of time, Huo Yuhao woke up slowly and lay in his mother's arms, while Huo Yun'er was covered in wounds and had been beaten unconscious.

It was also that beating that caused Huo Yun'er, who was already weak and sick, to fall ill again.

He became ill due to heavy labor, and died not long after.

Time goes back to the present.

From the moment he saw Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao's mind unconsciously recalled Huo Yun'er's gentle voice and smile in the past, as well as the humiliation of the past ten years.

If it weren't for the mother and son of the Dai family, Huo Yun'er would never have died so early!

Huo Yuhao's eyes revealed a strong murderous intent.

It was so turbulent that it could drown Dai Huabin.

But after a moment, Huo Yuhao slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressed the hatred in his heart, and calmed down again.

"Don't be impulsive. There are many people here. Killing him here will be too easy to be exposed. Moreover, Shrek Academy has just started school, and now a student's death has occurred, which is easy to arouse the vigilance of Shrek's top management."

"It's not the time yet." Huo Yuhao shook his head calmly.

But after a moment, he seemed to think of something again, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"But it should be okay to charge a little interest, right?"

Then, Huo Yuhao's figure gradually sank into the shadows and disappeared.

...

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu rode on the street.

"Hua Bin, why are these lowly people looking at us like this?" The hot girl in black dress said dissatisfiedly.

"Lulu, why do you care about these lowly people? Don't pay attention to them. The most important thing for us now is to find a suitable hotel." Dai Hua Bin looked at the pedestrians on the street and snorted disdainfully, then turned to look at Zhu Lu, with a hint of lust in his eyes.

The girl in black dress blushed with embarrassment and said, "You are so bad. We just met not long ago, and you want to do that."

Dai Hua Bin said more and more undisguisedly: "This is also for our martial soul fusion skills. Don't forget, the more familiar we are with each other, the higher the degree of martial soul fusion, right?"

Zhu Lu covered her face with one hand: "What are you talking about? I didn't say no. We are still on the street. You are so bad."

The two rode on horses and looked for a suitable hotel along the way.

"Why not here?" Dai Hua Bin suddenly stopped the horse and said.

Zhu Lu looked up at the building in front of her. There was a 3-story hotel-style building in front of her. The door of the hotel was very grand, and there was a flashing neon sign on the door with four big characters "Rose Hotel" written on it.

"Hate it, I'll listen to you." Zhu Lu snorted and followed Dai Huabin to get off the horse.

After handing the horse to the servant at the door, the two walked in together.

No one noticed that less than a minute after the two entered the hotel, a black shadow, like a ghost lurking in the dark night, flashed by the door of the Rose Hotel.
