What was the kid's name? I think it was Dai Luoli?

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the young man, from being calm to being eager. When he was still trying to make a living in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, apart from his mother, only a few people had ever brought him warmth. Dai Luoli's mother was one of them. She was the White Tiger Duke's concubine and was also a woman who was hostile to the Duchess.

The lady took great care of the mother and son. In the first few years after Huo Yuhao was born, she not only held him in her arms, but also saved her own share of the allowance to support them. After the Duchess found out about this, she had no choice but to stop communicating with them.

Huo Yuhao was still very young at that time, so his memory was not very clear. But he vaguely remembered that the concubine's wife seemed to be surnamed Luo.

He was a little envious. Dai Luoli had both his parents' surnames, but his name seemed to be given by his mother to express her love for that man. When he thought of this, Huo Yuhao felt a little nauseous. For a moment, he wanted to ask his mother, if she had to choose between Dai Hao and him to live, who would she choose?

"Greetings to the Madam." Mrs. Luo knelt humbly to the Duchess, and Dai Luoli followed suit.

The Duchess had on exquisite makeup, her long black hair was carefully tied up, and her pair of beautiful green eyes were always glancing at others with contempt and disdain. She hated all children except Dai Yuheng and Dai Huabin. Fortunately, that little bastard disappeared a year ago. It would have been best if he had died as humiliatingly as Huo Yun'er. It was a pity that the other bastard had already passed the Duke's eyes, so he couldn't take action directly.

Of course, there is no need to take action. Dai Luoli's martial soul is not pure, and he does not have the strange double pupils of the White Tiger family. Although his martial soul also has spiritual attributes, his biggest problem is that only the white tiger part of his martial soul is mobilized during cultivation, while the part belonging to spiritual power is not.

Even if someone in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion could find his problem, I'm afraid no one would know what to do. After all, mental power is related to the soul, and the soul is so mysterious that if it is not done well, it is likely to have a counter-effect and even cause great harm to Dai Luoli. Therefore, Dai Luoli can only maintain this state of cultivation. No matter how hard he tries, the power of his martial soul can only be exerted half, and naturally it is impossible to catch up with the two brothers.

It is also because of this that he is not taken seriously by the Duke of White Tiger, and naturally does not threaten the status of Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin. This is also one of the reasons why the Duchess can tolerate him.

"A loser like you wants to go to Shrek Academy? Do you think you can compete with Yaoheng and Huabin? Oh, by the way, I heard that the two brothers will represent Shrek Academy in this competition, while those bastards can't even enter Shrek!" The Duchess raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, with disdain on her elegant face. She raised her head proudly. Although her appearance was dignified and generous, her eyes showed undisguised disgust.

Dai Luoli and his mother lowered their heads and stepped aside, not noticing someone standing behind them. He had been determined to become a powerful spirit master since he was a child. In terms of effort, he had put in no less effort than his two brothers. However, the difficulty of cultivating a mutant spirit was much greater than expected. Under the current circumstances, he would definitely not be able to reach the requirement of level 20 spirit power of Shrek Academy at the age of twelve. He was the son of the Duke of White Tiger. With Dai Hao's personality, how could he use the special enrollment quota to give him a backdoor?

Today his mother brought him to see the Duchess, just to ask her for help. Dai Luoli knew that his hope was slim, but his mother insisted on giving it a try. The result was clear. The Duchess treated them like grass, and it was good enough that she didn't deduct their share. How could she help him get a place in Shrek Academy?

It seems that although this half-brother has a much better life than himself, he is also oppressed in the Duke's Mansion and his situation is not much better. But now he has more important things to do. He will find time to come back and tell Dai Luoli that Shrek Academy is actually nothing great. That place is no longer worthy of the title of the first academy in the continent. Not long ago, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were even ordered to be expelled from the country by the Emperor of Xingluo in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators from various countries.

Huo Yuhao silently observed them for a while, and only after they left did he solemnly take out the dagger that Duke White Tiger had left for Huo Yun'er and walked towards the direction the Duchess had left.

The Duchess walked down the long corridor, holding up her skirt, and her proud figure disappeared behind the corridor.

She suddenly stopped and saw a familiar figure standing not far away with his back to her.

"Yuheng? When did you come back? Shouldn't you be participating in the competition in Xingluo City?" The harsh expression on the Duchess's face disappeared, replaced by a face full of kindness. At this time, she looked no different from other mothers.

But her eldest son just stood in the shadows with his back to her and did not respond to her call.

The Duchess walked forward in confusion. At the same time, Dai Yuheng slowly turned around. His eye sockets were empty, his body was covered with frost and blood, and there was a large piece missing from his chest. It was where his heart should have been beating, but now there was only a bloody hole. There was still an expression of fear and pain on his face, as if he had experienced great pain before his death.

The shrill screams were particularly abrupt in the Duke's Mansion. The scenes of Dai Yuheng being tortured to death rushed into the Duchess's mind. The Duchess's legs went weak and she could hardly stand, but she still staggered towards Dai Yuheng.

Just as she was about to touch Dai Yuheng, a sudden chill came from her chest. She looked down and saw a short blade piercing her chest. The thin blade seemed transparent, and the chill made her shiver. Under the influence of pain, she couldn't help but kneel on the ground. Her knees hit the cold and hard ground with a dull sound. From the shiny blade, she saw a pair of double pupils, which was the unique symbol of the White Tiger lineage, but the boy holding the short blade made her feel a little strange.

“Don’t you recognize me?” Huo Yuhao turned the hilt of the knife with some disappointment, stirring the Duchess’ flesh and blood with the sharp blade, severing her heart veins that were frozen by the extreme cold.

The Duchess's breathing became rapid and difficult. She had been pampered for so many years and had not experienced a battle for a long time. Now she almost didn't have the strength to release her martial spirit.

Her vision gradually blurred, but her memory gradually became clearer.

“You… you are that… bastard…” The Duchess stared at Huo Yuhao unwillingly, blood gushing out from her chest, and the face of the young man and the Duke’s maid overlapped.

“It is said that a dying man’s words are good, but I don’t think so.” Huo Yuhao pushed the hilt of the knife forward, and the Duchess fell on her back. The blade was completely embedded in her chest, leaving only the hilt exposed.

In the end, he still didn't know what this woman's martial spirit was, and the long speech he prepared for revenge was useless because he finally realized that there was no need to reason with such a person and she didn't deserve to listen.
