Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 719 Despite giving it his all, he couldn't win!
Dai Luoli withdrew her gaze from the sky, looked at Elder Liu, and said earnestly, "Elder Liu, I know my own physical condition. I am now a Soul Master, and my physical condition is quite good. There is no need for me to go back to my room to rest. It is still early. Why don't you guide my combat in the courtyard?"

In this world, strength is incredibly important. Without strength, you are nothing. If I possessed enough strength, perhaps I could avenge my father!

In fact, he had been in a state of severe distress since his father's death, which is why he looked somewhat haggard.

Dai Luoli originally wanted to go to the battlefield to avenge his father, but His Majesty, on the grounds that the direct bloodline of the White Tiger Dai family needs to continue, not only forbade him to go to the battlefield, but also planned to marry the little princess of Xingluo, Xu Yun, to him.

To be honest, he had always liked Xu Yun, and winning the heart of the beauty was a good thing to be happy about. But good things aside, his desire to avenge his father had never changed.

Old Liu looked troubled. He thought to himself that the Duke's main task should not be to cultivate diligently to seek revenge, but to get married as soon as possible and have more children.

After all, the direct descendants of the Dai family are now sparsely populated. Even though Huo Yuhao has Dai family blood in his veins, given the current situation, he will definitely not return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The responsibility of continuing the direct bloodline naturally fell on Dai Luoli's shoulders.

During the time he was protecting Dai Luoli, Old Liu also gained a simple impression of the current Duke of the White Tiger.

The Duke actually has a good personality and works hard enough, but his talent is really too poor. His awakened White Tiger Martial Soul is not pure enough, and his innate soul power level is not high.

So when he was eighteen, he was only a three-ring Soul Master. He probably would never become a Title Douluo in his lifetime. Becoming a Soul Douluo would already be quite an achievement.

"Old Liu!" Dai Luoli urged again.

"Your Grace, please be careful." Old Liu took a deep breath. He had no choice but to agree since the Duke had made such a request.

Of course, when guiding actual combat, he would not use excessive force, but rather take it upon himself to point out Dai Luoli's shortcomings in actual combat. With his title Douluo cultivation, he was more than capable of guiding Dai Luoli to point out his shortcomings in actual combat.

Dai Luoli nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he let out a low roar, and four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—rose from beneath his feet. In an instant, the White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him, his body was filled with white light, his muscles swelled, and pure white fur grew out without any black markings.

Dai Luoli's eyes, however, remained unchanged and looked extremely ordinary, clearly one of the defects of her own martial soul.

"Wait, Dai Luoli, instead of letting him guide you, why don't you let me guide you?" A male voice suddenly rang out at the courtyard gate, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared.

He was still dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask.

"Who are you? What are you doing at the Duke's mansion!" Old Liu immediately shielded Dai Luoli in front of him, staring intently at Huo Yuhao with a wary expression. He was very worried about Dai Luoli's safety, fearing that something might happen to the current White Tiger Duke.

Huo Yuhao noticed that Elder Liu was protecting Dai Luoli and slowly said, "I am just someone entrusted by Dai Luoli's brother, Huo Yuhao, to come to the Duke's mansion to help Dai Luoli become stronger."

No matter what, Dai Luoli's mother had been kind to Huo Yun'er and her son.

As a concubine, she felt sorry for Huo Yun'er and her son's plight, so she secretly sent them food and clothes to help them get through the difficult years. She could not forget to repay this kindness.

Although he was no longer the original Huo Yuhao, having inherited this body, he naturally had to bear the karma of others and provide Dai Luoli with some assistance. "Really?" A look of surprise appeared on Dai Luoli's young face.

"Your Grace, do not listen to this man's nonsense!" Old Liu's face was cold, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. "Although Huo Yuhao shares the same father as you, he has an extreme aversion to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. How could he possibly send someone to help the current White Tiger Duke become stronger?"
"Perhaps this person is an assassin sent by the Sun Moon Empire to kill you. However, Your Grace, rest assured, with me here today, no one can harm you. Now I will seize this man and interrogate him thoroughly!"

As he spoke, nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, their colors consisting of two yellow, two purple, and five black.

The next moment, his eyes shone with a lustrous white light, as did his body. Soon, his muscles bulged like rolling mountains, and a pair of sharp white bull horns grew from the top of his head, reflecting a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

His ninth spirit ring shimmered with a dark black light. The next moment, a wave of white mist swept towards Huo Yuhao from his center, petrifying everything in its path, from soil and trees to fallen leaves.

"Old Liu actually used his ninth soul skill, Petrifying Mist, right from the start!" Dai Luoli's face showed shock.

During this time, Elder Liu also gave him some inside information. Strictly speaking, the Petrifying Mist Soul Skill has no destructive power, but its control effect is excellent. The user can release a mist with a petrifying effect through this Soul Skill. Even a Title Douluo will be petrified for a moment when covered by the mist, and his soul power and mental power will be suppressed, making him unable to move.

At this moment, as Old Liu watched the petrified mist spread to Huo Yuhao's side, covering everything in its path with white-gray rocks, he wondered if this person had been scared out of his wits, which was why he was so motionless.
However, no matter what this person's true thoughts are, they will eventually be petrified, and then I will have the opportunity to interrogate them thoroughly.

Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on his face.

In fact, if this person hadn't infiltrated the heavily guarded Duke's mansion undetected and whose strength was unknown, he wouldn't have used his ninth soul skill right away.

Huo Yuhao secretly activated the divine fire, lightly lifted his right foot, and then quickly stomped down. The next moment, ice rose up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, the air temperature dropped sharply, and waves of ice formed, rushing towards the mist.

Soon, the two collided, the fog was quickly frozen, and the ice tide rushed towards Old Liu with unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this, Old Liu was shocked. His pupils contracted and his face changed drastically. He never expected that his ninth soul skill would be completely crushed one day.

"This person actually possesses the ultimate ice martial soul, which is similar to Huo Yuhao's. However, this person's strength is far superior to Huo Yuhao's." He felt the low temperature and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, Old Liu grabbed Dai Luoli and flew into the air towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace. In his opinion, protecting Dai Luoli's safety was the most important thing.

But the ice tide seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing it and quickly catching up with Old Liu, enveloping his entire body. Almost instantly, Old Liu was turned into an ice sculpture, unable to move.

This scene was naturally seen by the guards patrolling nearby, who all activated their flying soul tools and flew towards the backyard.

"Your Grace, what has happened?" a tall guard asked.

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's precise control over the ice, Dai Luoli was not frozen. Instead, he was able to float in mid-air thanks to his flying soul tool. Of course, he didn't dare to run away now, for fear of following in Liu Lao's footsteps.

Faced with the guard's questioning, he could only grit his teeth and explain, "Old Liu encountered a mysterious man in black robes. The extreme ice was as strong as a monster. He tried his best, but he couldn't defeat him!"
