As months went by, the day of martial soul awakening for Huo Yuhao came near. During this time he was often approached by one of the Duchess's sons. Both of the Duchess's sons have blonde hair and light blue eyes, the only difference between them is their age and experience.
The older brother's name is Dai Yaoheng while the younger brother's name is Dai Huabin. Both Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin were the same age while also having a unique brotherhood between each other.
Ever since that day his mother secretly introduced Huo Yuhao as her future student.
At that time Huo Yuhao looked very weak and Dai Huabin didn't agree to it since he thought Huo Yuhao wasn't worthy of his mother's attention.
Dai Huabin proposed a spar but it was quickly rejected since he was better in physical strength than Huo Yuhao.
He proposed another idea by memorizing books inside the library. The book will be prepared by his mother and she will ask any questions inside the book and the winner has to either answer more correctly than other party.
The Duchess agreed to it and quickly began the challenge, Dai Huabin was anxious and asked why the challenge had to be now, and not at a later date to his mother. And she answered by now is perfect since both of them are already here and they also have read the book inside the family mansion. Dai Huabin was surprised that Huo Yuhao had been to the library before and he was the only one who didn't seem to know about it.
Huo Yuhao managed to crush the challenge since he answer a lot more question quickly and precisely compared to him who answered it confidently only to realizes he was wrong.
At that moment Dai Huabin felt a lot of anger at himself for being stupid and forcefully take Huo Yuhao to the family training ground to redirect his anger towards him since no way is he stupid than a slave child is what he thought.
The moment the fight began, Dai Huabin furiously rushed forward to hurt Huo Yuhao's shoulder. The moment Dai Huabin appeared to manage a strike, only to manage to hurt himself and Huo Yuhao. He tried again and again until he appeared to have more damage than Huo Yuhao, that's when he tried to finally focus on Huo Yuhao's previous action and realised he was an idiot to rushing in blindly into a battle.
Dai Huabin began to calm down and fight with his all using faint and sneak attack to close the gap between their battle. After a moment later Huo Yuhao began to bleed that's when he stopped attacking.
Then he heard cheers and clapping from their surroundings, he saw the elder of Dai family appear with a huge crowd. They began to congratulate him since he had beaten down Huo Yuhao to his rightful place in the ground.
That's when he realised why his mother wanted to secretly make Huo Yuhao her student. Huo Yuhao fight fairly and cleverly but never used a sneak attack while also know to predict his action. Dai Huabin finally agreed with his mother action.
The Dai family knows that Dai Huabin always fights with Huo Yuhao, but what they don't know is what happens after Dai Huabin orders his subordinate to leave the two of them alone.
Dai Huabin doesn't want to fight Huo Yuhao in his weakened state since he wants to beat Huo Yuhao
They just assume that Dai Huabin just bully Huo Yuhao again in secret on the contrary they only catching up to each other. They fight in secret everyday against each other, the spar was much intense than what both of them showed earlier shown to the entire Dai family, they have use the fight as a way to pass on information between the Duchess and Huo Yun'er.
After that, Dai Huabin gave a letter to both addressing Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, he also advising Huo Yuhao to be mentally prepared for Duchess training after awakening of Huo Yuhao's martial soul tomorrow.
The day of awakening martial finally arrived, as usual the children of direct line of the Dai family who has been acknowledged will go first.
Most of those awakening a martial soul, they will be listed as a soldier in the future. Suddenly the crowd grew wild as Dai Huabin managed to awaken the white tiger martial soul and have 10 level innate soul power. He was called the future of the Dai family like his brother did previously and they extended the invitation and gave to help grow stronger, but Dai Huabin refused the offer and made several of the elder not happy with his decision.
Lastly, Huo Yuhao went toward the platform like previous children to awaken his martial soul. The moment the soul master soul power ran through his body, Huo Yuhao felt his soul power slowly crossing his entire body and gathering toward his eyes.
But he also felt another strand of soul power trying to take another route but failed to reach it. He wanted to allow it to travel through the route but he was distracted by the shout of the soul master claiming he has awakened a spiritual eye and has level 2 innate soul power .
He felt many different gazes, some were pity, others were ridiculing him, a few mock him and most just said he was a mistake born between a noble and a slave while he didn't have a very bright future since a beast with spiritual attributes are very rare.
He just smiled sadly and he was going back home. The other went their own way, while he was walking he used the few soul power towards another path he felt during the time of his martial awakening. Huo Yuhao was surprised that he managed to immediately breakthrough level 5 from level 1.
No one noticed this except the Duchess who has been watching him secretly as the agreement between her and Huo Yun'er makes her aware of the potential that is unknown to the rest of the Dai family.
