"Whoosh—"
The blood arrow drilled into the void, and the next second, feedback of a successful kill came through.
The pupil power consumption didn't increase; the target was a weak one.
It definitely wasn't that beast Dai Hao, anyway.
"What a pity..."
Huo Yuhao didn't continue his random selection. He refroze the left arm and stored it away.
Using Mangekyō pupil techniques consumes eyesight. Overuse leads to nearsightedness, even permanent blindness.
Although Brother Lan could use Fortune Points to restore it.
Systematically eliminating over a hundred bloodline targets one by one would be a considerable expense.
"With this Mangekyō pupil technique, I can locate them through their bloodline. None of you will escape!"
"Maybe I can even find others in the same situation, and take revenge together?"
"Hahaha—"
Huo Yuhao's laughter was loud, even echoing within the arena.
It completely shattered any possibility of reconciliation with the Duke's mansion.
He laughed for a while longer.
Then, he raised his hand and summoned the right arm bone, storing it in his spatial ring.
That spirit bone skill was quite good; he could give it to someone close to him.
Huo Yuhao floated away.
Yan Shaozhe, who had remained silent until now, stood up and announced—
"Dai Huabin and Dai Yaoheng, the two brothers, brought the internal conflicts of the Duke's mansion into Shrek Academy, dispatching assassins to secretly kill our Shrek disciple, Huo Yuhao."
"Now, in a fair life-and-death duel between them, they have been personally killed by Huo Yuhao alone. From this point forward, the grievances between the parties are settled."
"Anyone who dares to seek retribution for this matter will be considered an enemy of Shrek Academy!"
"Alright, dismissed."
The numerous Titled Douluos on the spectator stands flashed away.
They left the various members within the arena discussing animatedly.
"My heavens! How is the class monitor already a five-ringed Soul King?"
"Wasn't it said to be a mental-type soul skill, fake?"
"Since when can a two-ringed Great Soul Master pummel a six-ringed Soul Emperor? And an inner court disciple with a White Tiger martial soul at that!"
"Well... true."
"So those four 100,000-year soul rings are real?"
"I actually think that might be the mental-type soul skill, the fake one."
"I have one question: how did he manage the blue-gold soul ring?"
"Let's ask!"
"Are you all missing the point? That Huo Yuhao just enrolled this year, he's only 11 years old, and he can already obliterate a six-ringed Soul Emperor!"
Gasp—
"Holy crap!"
"The next Elder Mu?"
"No wonder Elder Mu took him as his closed-door disciple. This talent is invincible!"
The small groups belonging to the Holy Flame Sect were also gathered together.
Wang Dong was notably among them, a trace of worry between his brows.
"Aren't we going to find Yuhao?"
"He probably wants to be alone right now," Ma Xiaotao explained. "The one next to me is the inner court's head senior sister, the 82nd Rank Soul Douluo Zhang Lexuan! She's only 25 this year, bound to be a Titled Douluo. Like me, she'll be a Saintess of the Holy Flame Sect~"
"Huh?"
"Greetings, Saintess!"
"Greetings, Head Senior Sister!"
"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"
Facing the enthusiastic Holy Flame Sect members, Zhang Lexuan gave Ma Xiaotao a helpless look.
She hadn't agreed to this!
"Hey!" Ma Xiaotao hugged Zhang Lexuan's arm. "Just come and take a look with me. If it really doesn't work out... I'll pester you until you join!"
Zhang Lexuan sighed. She really didn't know what to do with her.
Ma Xiaotao clenched her fist in victory.
Little Yuhao, your big sister will accept that 70,000-year spirit bone with a clear conscience now!
By the Sea God's Lake, at their previous fish-grilling spot.
Huo Yuhao sat upright on a large rock, his gaze deep and somber as he looked south, towards where his mother was buried.
"Mom, did you see? I already have the power to take revenge."
"Even after killing Dai Yaoheng and his brother, the White Tiger Duke's mansion can't do anything to me."
"Soon, they will all go down to atone for their sins before you."
"That day won't be far away!"
He was lost in remembrance.
Meanwhile, it was quite lively inside his mental world.
The souls of Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin, who had been blasted apart by a single punch, were being intensely scrutinized.
The overwhelming aura of the fierce beasts made Dai Huabin tremble with fear.
Dai Yaheng was slightly braver, but his eyes were also filled with shock!
Were these all that bastard's hidden assets?
So those five soul rings weren't fake?
The first four were genuinely 100,000-year soul rings?
Dai Yaoheng desperately hoped this was another illusion, but the weakness of his soul form, the loss of connection with his martial soul, and the complete absence of soul power...
All proved the reality before him.
He truly regretted it now.
If he hadn't seen Huo Yuhao as a rival back then, could their relationship have been better?
Would this monstrous genius then have become an asset to the Dai family?
Could the Dai family have advanced further, restoring their ancestors' glory?
Even if the heir position went to Huo Yuhao, he himself could have at least become a prince, a prince of the Dai family's empire.
Wouldn't that be better than inheriting his father's dukedom?
"Well, well, finally figured that out."
Zhuge Lan teased—
"But if you hadn't pushed him, Little Yuhao wouldn't have taken the risk and come alone to the Star Dou Great Forest. He might not have encountered me, Tianmeng, or Elder Electrolux."
"So strictly speaking, it was you who created the Huo Yuhao of today."
Dai Yaoheng's soul form fluctuated violently, giving the impression he was about to "explode from anger."
Electrolux raised a hand and pointed, stabilizing it once more.
"What now?" Tianmeng Iceworm asked. "Can these two souls be used to craft undead puppets?"
"Undead puppets require physical bodies. At best, they can be crafted into undead," Yi Laike shook his head. "And even then, they'd be the weakest kind, unlikely to survive long in the undead demiplane."
"Bodies are simple enough," Zhuge Lan said. "Little Yuhao awakened the Mangekyō pupil technique. There's one called 'Flesh Rebirth' that consumes bloodline power to reconstruct a body."
Hearing about the "Flesh Rebirth" ability, which could resurrect someone as long as their soul remained,
Everyone present was astonished.
"Wow! Brother Lan!" Tianmeng Iceworm said eagerly. "Can I get a pair of Mangekyō too?"
"Fool," Ice Empress said coldly. "It's been explained; it requires a bloodline. How would you, a spirit, use it?"
The Tianmeng Iceworm was dejected for a moment, then immediately turned to Ice Empress.
"Bing Bing, tell me..."
Smack!
He swatted the bothersome worm away, creating a bit of a commotion.
It startled Huo Yuhao, whose mental projection appeared.
Seeing the souls of the Dai brothers, he was momentarily stunned.
Then he looked towards Electrolux.
"Elder Electrolux, you..."
"This old man captured them," Electrolux proposed. "We were discussing whether to turn them into undead now, or after you resurrect them to make them into undead puppets. Otherwise, simply killing them is letting them off too easily."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.
Emotionally, he also felt that doing this would be quite satisfying.
Imagine it.
He finds the Duchess and Dai Hao, releases the undead forms of Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin to attack.
Would the targets kill their own children a second time, or stand silent and be killed?
The thought alone was thrilling!
But there's always a 'however'...
Turning human souls into undead is clearly the method of an Evil Soul Master!
And Evil Soul Masters have always been despised; Huo Yuhao was no different.
Therefore...
"What, think this method is dishonorable?"
Zhuge Lan saw right through him—
"Then tell me, is it evil for soul masters to kill spirit beasts to obtain soul rings?"
"How can that be the same!" Huo Yuhao blurted out. "Soul masters hunting spirit beasts has been the way since ancient times. As long as it's not indiscriminate slaughter, it's within reasonable bounds."
