The Tracker
With Huo Yuhao's current strength, even an ordinary Titled Douluo would find it extremely difficult to match the speed granted by his Golden Dragon Wings.
Because of this, in less than half a day, Yuhao had already traveled from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Sunset Forest.
This was the third time Yuhao had come to the Sunset Forest.
The first time, he had arrived under the escort of Di Tian and Bi Ji. The second time, he came alone to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's body-tempering medicinal essence.
But this third visit felt completely different from the previous two.
Because now, Yuhao's strength had undergone a truly earth-shaking transformation.
Thinking about the group of immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yuhao stroked his chin and muttered:
"This time… I'm afraid I'll really make them suffer a heavy loss. I wonder if they'll agree."
After saying this, he suddenly chuckled.
"But it doesn't matter if they don't agree… I'll simply beat them until they do."
As his voice fell, Yuhao slowly descended from the sky and landed on the forest ground.
With his speed, he could have flown directly into the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, before that, there was still a small matter he needed to deal with.
A certain person… who had been following him for quite some time.
"Come out. I already know you're there."
Yuhao spoke calmly to the surrounding forest.
Not long after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Yuhao had already sensed a presence trailing him.
At first, he thought it was merely someone traveling along the same path.
But when that person continued following him all the way to the Sunset Forest, Yuhao became certain—
This person was targeting him.
As Yuhao's voice echoed, a tall figure slowly stepped out from the shadows of the forest behind him.
The moment Yuhao saw that face, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"I originally intended to let you live a few more days… but I didn't expect you to come to me yourself."
The person who appeared was none other than the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire—Dai Hao.
At the same time… he was also the biological father of this body Yuhao now possessed.
However, the gaze Dai Hao cast upon Yuhao contained no warmth of kinship whatsoever—only cold hatred and deep resentment.
In Dai Hao's eyes, Huo Yuhao was the murderer of his son, Dai Yueheng.
During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Dai Hao had already harbored killing intent toward Yuhao.
After all, what father could endure the hatred of a son being killed?
Especially when it happened right before his eyes.
However, at that time, Yuhao was under heavy protection within Star Luo City. With powerful figures such as Super Douluo-level guardians present, even Dai Hao could not make a move.
Thus, he endured it.
Later, when he heard rumors that Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had joined forces to eliminate Yuhao, Dai Hao was secretly delighted.
Without informing the Star Luo Emperor, he rushed there alone.
But what he never expected was that by the time he arrived, everything had already ended.
Not only had Yuhao and the Body Sect survived, but both Shrek and the Sun Moon forces had suffered severe casualties.
Under those circumstances, Dai Hao did not dare expose himself. He could only watch as Yuhao was taken away by Di Tian into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yet, Dai Hao never abandoned his intention to kill Yuhao.
He remained hidden near the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, waiting patiently for an opportunity.
And now—
When he saw Yuhao leaving alone, he knew his chance had finally come.
Originally, Dai Hao planned to wait until Yuhao reached a more remote location before striking.
But unexpectedly, before he could act, Yuhao had already discovered him.
Even so, Dai Hao showed no fear.
In his eyes, no matter how monstrous Yuhao's talent was, he was still merely a Soul Sect.
How could he possibly contend with a Titled Douluo like himself?
That was why he stepped out openly, without any concealment.
Unfortunately, Dai Hao had never witnessed Yuhao's terrifying display of power within the Star Dou Forest—
Otherwise, he would never have such confidence.
"Huo Yuhao… your death has come."
Dai Hao spoke coldly, his killing intent undisguised.
Yuhao remained calm. Looking at the man whose features bore a faint resemblance to his own, he suddenly said:
"Wait. Answer one question first."
A sneer appeared on Dai Hao's face.
"Is that your final wish?"
As he spoke, soul power surged through his body, and his martial soul—the White Tiger—was instantly released.
At the same time, nine soul rings rose beneath his feet: two yellow, two purple, and five black.
However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, like a predator toying with its prey, he said:
"Fine. I'll grant you that. Ask."
Yuhao's expression did not change.
"Do you remember Huo Yun'er?"
"Huo Yun'er?"
Dai Hao frowned slightly, showing no recognition at all.
But then, as if making a connection, he let out a mocking laugh.
"Same surname as you… what, some relative of yours?"
"She was the mother of this body."
Yuhao pointed lightly at himself.
Although his words sounded somewhat strange, Dai Hao did not dwell on them. Instead, his smile turned cruel.
"Oh? Then is she still alive?"
"If she is… that's perfect."
"After I kill you, I'll find her personally and let her experience the pain of losing her son."
At that moment, a cold light flashed in Yuhao's eyes.
"Then… you deserve to die."
"Haha! Have you lost your mind? You dare speak such nonsense?"
Dai Hao sneered, completely dismissing Yuhao.
But in the next instant—
His expression froze.
Yuhao, who had been standing before him just moments ago, had completely disappeared.
Before Dai Hao could react, a voice sounded right beside his ear.
"Is it still nonsense now?"
A chill shot through Dai Hao's entire body.
However, as a battle-hardened Titled Douluo, his combat instincts were exceptional.
Without turning around, he instantly activated his seventh soul skill—
Martial Soul True Body.
But before it could fully form—
A powerful hand suddenly seized his head and slammed it violently into the ground.
BOOM!
The earth shattered with a deafening roar. Cracks spread outward like a spiderweb.
His Martial Soul True Body was forcefully interrupted.
Dai Hao's entire head was smashed into the ground.
And the one who did this—
Was naturally Huo Yuhao.
A faint golden radiance shimmered across Yuhao's palm, a sign of his body nearing the perfected Golden Dragon physique.
Under that single grip, Dai Hao—whose soul power had reached level 94—was completely unable to resist.
"Impossible… impossible!"
Dai Hao's voice trembled with disbelief.
No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.
Yuhao's hand felt like an immovable mountain, firmly suppressing him.
What shocked him even more was—
Yuhao had not released his martial soul.
Nor had he used any soul skills.
Everything was accomplished purely through physical strength.
Within the Star Dou Great Forest, in order to withstand a strike connected to divine-level power, Yuhao had forcefully unleashed the Dragon God's Claw, breaking multiple seals of the Golden Dragon King within his body.
After absorbing that overwhelming power, destroying and reconstructing his body repeatedly, and undergoing countless temperings with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's medicinal forces—
His physical body had reached an unimaginable level.
He was only a single step away from the flawless Golden Body.
Below the level of gods, his physique could already be considered unrivaled.
Therefore—
Even without using soul power, suppressing a Titled Douluo was effortless.
Even if that person was Dai Hao—
A peak Titled Douluo just short of becoming a Super Douluo.
