MM Racing Chapter 17: Huo Yun'er's Shock
Chapter 17: Huo Yun'er's Shock
Dai Huabin had no idea that he had just narrowly escaped death.
He had no idea what kind of astonishing power and secrets were hidden within his younger brother, whom he regarded as a good-for-nothing to be bullied at will.
At this moment, he saw that Dai Yuhao not only did not show fear or back down, but instead looked at him with calm eyes.
A sudden surge of anger rose within him, instantly transforming into a feeling of being "offended."
What right does a piece of trash who doesn't even have a martial spirit have to look at him like that?!
Almost subconsciously, he took another half step forward, and even suicidally pointed his finger hard at Dai Yuhao's chest.
"What? Judging from your eyes, you're not convinced?"
"So... you still want to hit me? Hmm?"
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his tone dripping with mockery: "Come on! Let me see what good you are, you piece of trash, besides glaring at me!"
Dai Yuhao remained silent, his mind racing as he pondered whether Dai Huabin's visit was a spur-of-the-moment decision or at the behest of the Duchess.
But no matter what the possibility, he was determined to leave the White Tiger Duke's mansion with his mother as soon as possible!
Seeing that Dai Yuhao remained unresponsive despite his provocation, Dai Huabin felt a sense of boredom.
He was used to being high and mighty, and could do almost anything he wanted in the Duke's mansion. He never needed any legitimate reason to bully others; he only acted according to his mood.
He took a half step back and casually waved to the four followers behind him.
"Come on, let's teach him a lesson!"
In order to leave the Duke's mansion safely with his mother, Dai Yuhao suppressed the urge to kill her.
But enduring it doesn't mean getting beaten up again for no reason before leaving!
Looking at the four menacing-looking henchmen, Dai Yuhao's expression remained unchanged.
With a slight thought, a mental shock, as sharp as a needle, silently pierced the mind of Dai Huabin, who was standing with his arms crossed and a look of anticipation on his face!
Dai Yuhao deliberately controlled his strength so as not to damage his soul or leave any trace that could be detected.
However, the instantaneous pain and intense dizziness it caused were enough to render Dai Huabin unable to move or think!
"Ouch!"
Dai Huabin, who was feeling smug, suddenly twisted the expression on his face!
He let out a short, piercing scream and clutched his head with both hands.
The intense pain and sudden dizziness caused his legs to buckle, and he collapsed to the ground, curling up in a ball, groaning in pain, with beads of cold sweat instantly forming on his forehead.
The four henchmen who were about to pounce on Dai Yuhao froze in mid-air!
The sneer on their faces froze, replaced by astonishment and panic!
They instinctively turned around to look at their "master" behind them.
The four of them forgot about Dai Yuhao and rushed to Dai Huabin's side, at a loss for what to do.
At that moment, Dai Huabin felt as if countless needles were pricking his head, his vision went black, and his ears were ringing.
"Take...take me back! Quickly!"
He managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, his voice weak and trembling.
The four men hurriedly helped Dai Huabin, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet. One of them carried him on his back, while the other three supported him from the side. They didn't even have time to look at Dai Yuhao again before they rushed away from the dilapidated courtyard.
For Dai Yuhao, Dai Huabin's appearance was just a minor incident.
As the sun slowly sank behind the western high wall, the courtyard gradually darkened.
As with countless nights before, Huo Yun'er dragged her exhausted body back to the courtyard after it was completely dark.
Her steps were heavier than usual, and her face appeared even paler in the dim light.
Today in the laundry room, she learned from the whispers of others about the result of her son's martial spirit awakening.
Without a martial spirit or soul power, he could only live as an ordinary person.
She went inside and, without even sitting down to rest, went straight to the simple stove in the corner and began to quietly start a fire, wash rice, and prepare dinner.
Half an hour later, the mother and son sat facing each other at the only small table, eating quietly.
Afraid of upsetting her son, Huo Yun'er didn't mention anything about martial spirits, but occasionally she would secretly glance up to observe her son's expression.
Dai Yuhao's expression was calm, but this calmness made Huo Yun'er even more uneasy, fearing that the child was suppressing his great loss and pain in his heart.
A silent dinner ended in a subdued atmosphere.
Just as Huo Yun'er was about to get up and clear the dishes, Dai Yuhao suddenly reached out and gently tugged at her sleeve.
He looked up, his clear eyes shining brightly under the light.
Gone is the childlike innocence; instead, there is a seriousness beyond one's years.
"Mom, let's... leave the Duke's mansion."
Just yesterday, Dai Yuhao tentatively asked his mother if she had ever thought about leaving.
His tone then carried a questioning quality, but now it was completely different; he had made a firm decision!
Huo Yun'er was stunned by her son's sudden tough stance.
Her first thought was that the blow to her son's failed martial spirit awakening today was too great, and that he had said such things in a moment of impulse.
A wave of sorrow and pity welled up in her heart. She was about to speak when she suddenly froze!
She saw a deep and noble purple halo appear without warning at the feet of her son!
Immediately afterwards, a solid purple ring suddenly rose from the soles of Dai Yuhao's feet, pulsating up and down on his body.
"This...this is...?!"
Huo Yun'er's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracting violently in shock!
Even though she was just an ordinary person without any soul power, she recognized at a glance that this was definitely a soul ring, the most direct symbol of a soul master's power!
Moreover, the color of this spirit ring is purple!
It's a thousand-year soul ring!
In an instant, she was completely stunned, her mind going blank in a chaotic mess!
Today, didn't my son just undergo martial soul awakening?
Didn't they say he hadn't awakened his martial soul or soul power?
But what is now presented before her eyes?
A thousand-year-old purple soul ring is encircling her six-year-old son!
What... what on earth is going on?!
In that instant, Huo Yun'er felt her thoughts were in complete chaos, leaving her unable to utter a single word.
She simply stared wide-eyed, her gaze fixed intently on her son.
"Mom." Dai Yuhao's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet little house: "I've awakened my Martial Soul, and I have innate full Soul Power."
"Moreover, I have successfully attached my first spirit ring, which is a thousand-year spirit ring."
"Therefore, I am now a true Soul Master."
Dai Yuhao did not explain how he went from having "no martial soul" to becoming a "soul master with a thousand-year soul ring" in just one day—an incredible process.
Because it involves secrets far beyond Huo Yun'er's comprehension, such as time travel, spirit transmission towers, and indomitable souls, revealing them would only confuse her further.
Seeing the shock in his mother's eyes slowly fade, Dai Yuhao continued to speak.
"Mother."
He leaned forward, his tone becoming more earnest: "Look, I'm a Soul Master now, and I'm capable of making money."
"We no longer need to stay in this place, dependent on others, living in constant fear."
"We can leave the Duke's mansion, go outside, and live a peaceful life."
leave?
Is the outside world really that good?
Can they, a widow and her children, really survive on their own?
The shock in Huo Yun'er's eyes was gradually replaced by worry. Although she was an adult, she had grown up in the Duke's mansion and rarely came into contact with the outside world. This was a fear of the unknown.
Seeing his mother's hesitation, Dai Yuhao knew he needed to give her a reason why she had to leave.
Dai Yuhao's expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice: "Mom, there's a reason why I didn't reveal my talent during the awakening ceremony."
Do you remember... what happened three years ago?
