Star Luo Empire, inside the imperial palace.
Bang—!
"Dai Chengfeng, you are presumptuous!"
"Do you know what you have done?"
The majestic man sitting high on the throne slammed the armrest of the dragon chair, leaving a deep indentation in the purely gold armrest.
It was not difficult to see his fury.
Meanwhile, below the platform.
"What had to come, has come!"
A noble-looking boy, about six years old, wearing a luxurious golden robe, shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart.
Then, he asked the enraged Star Luo Emperor with a 'blank' look, "Father Emperor, I do not know what mistake I have made?"
"You don't know what mistake you have made?!"
Looking at his fourth son, Dai Chengfeng, who was pretending to be confused, the Star Luo Emperor questioned angrily, "What good deeds did you do yesterday? You say you don't know?!"
"Reporting to Father Emperor, yesterday, your son merely took Uncle to the Soul Hunting Forest and obtained his first Soul Ring."
"Since your son's Soul Power has already reached rank ten, what is wrong with obtaining a Soul Ring?"
Hearing that Dai Chengfeng still refused to admit his mistake, Dai An's face turned even more ashen.
"There is nothing wrong with you obtaining a Soul Ring!"
"But I, your Father, told you to hunt the Gold Scale Beast to awaken the best first Soul Skill for our Dai Family's White Tiger Martial Soul: White Tiger Protection Barrier."
"But what about you?!"
"What Soul Beast did you ultimately have Zhu Fan hunt? And what was the first Soul Skill you awakened?!"
Dai Chengfeng bowed slightly with a serious expression, "Reporting to Father Emperor."
"The Soul Beast your son had Uncle hunt was a 450-year-old Geng Metal Beast, and the first Soul Skill awakened was Gengjin Qi."
Speaking of this.
Dai Chengfeng, relying on the fact that he was only six years old, wanted to act spoiled towards his Father Emperor, attempting to muddle through.
"But Father Emperor, this cannot be blamed on your son defying orders."
"Your son truly did not find a Gold Scale Beast, which is why he absorbed the Geng Metal Beast..."
"Silence!"
Before Dai Chengfeng could finish speaking, Star Luo Emperor Dai An could no longer hold back and roared, "Rebellious son, I am not senile yet!"
"I clearly arranged everything, so how could you possibly not find a Gold Scale Beast?"
"I think you did it on purpose!"
"Do you know what responsibility you bear?"
"You are the first genius with Innate Full Soul Power in my Dai clan besides the ancestors!"
"What you carry is not just the glory of my Dai Family royal clan, but also the hope of whether the Star Luo Empire can unify the Douluo Continent in the future!"
"But now, you are actually wasting your talent like this?"
Dai Chengfeng looked at his father helplessly, "Father Emperor, I am wronged! How could I bear to waste my talent?"
"Still talking back!"
Dai An's tiger eyes were bloodshot, his breathing became heavier, and he looked at Dai Chengfeng with a face full of anger at his lack of ambition.
"The ancestors long ago stipulated!"
"The first three Soul Rings of my Dai Family members must absorb the Gold Scale Beast, Gold Wave Beast, and Vajra Tiger in order, and respectively awaken the White Tiger Protection Barrier, White Tiger Radiance Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation..."
"Only in this way can the potential of the White Tiger Martial Soul be maximized, and the fatal flaws of the White Tiger Martial Soul's relatively slow early movement and inability to deal with distant enemies be compensated for."
"But look at your so-called broken Gengjin Qi!"
"Although it can also pose a threat to distant enemies, what about defense?"
Hearing his Father Emperor's questioning, Dai Chengfeng just wanted to roll his eyes.
"Our Dai Family's Martial Soul is the majestic White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Beasts!"
"As a result, you, the ancestor, actually made future generations awaken those ghostly White Tiger Protection Barrier, White Tiger Radiance Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation?"
"Don't be so unfair to your descendants!"
Although Dai Chengfeng knew that his ancestor's regulations for his descendants were entirely out of good intentions.
Unfortunately.
The upper limit of one's vision determines the height one can reach.
But Dai Chengfeng, as a transmigrator, was different.
He knew clearly what a White Tiger was!
If he really did as Dai An said, absorbing the Soul Rings of the Gold Scale Beast, Gold Wave Beast, and Vajra Tiger respectively, and awakening the White Tiger Protection Barrier, White Tiger Radiance Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation...
This could indeed greatly enhance the early combat power of the White Tiger Martial Soul and compensate for its shortcomings as early as possible.
But!
Being so eager for quick success instead of prioritizing the compensation of the White Tiger Martial Soul's inherent deficiencies.
Dai Chengfeng estimated that his ultimate achievement in the future would probably be no more than inheriting a second-level deity, just like the future Dai Mubai.
Even if he groveled to Tang San...
Leaving aside the fact that Dai Chengfeng would absolutely not do it, even if he did, at most, he would only inherit a first-level deity, which would already be the limit his Martial Soul could reach.
Perhaps for others, being able to become a god is already a great blessing, and they dare not ask for too much.
But this was definitely not what Dai Chengfeng wanted!
Is the White Tiger Martial Soul inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
Is the limit of the White Tiger Martial Soul the second-level deity, God of War?
Absolutely not!
As a transmigrator, Dai Chengfeng insisted on telling the World in this foreign land that the White Tiger is a celestial divine Spirit, a fierce god of the year, capable of wielding all the killing power in the World, and also the master of innate Geng metal!
He would be the White Emperor!
He would definitely be higher than the God King!
"Whoosh!"
Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath. These were all his plans for the future. For now, he still wanted to convince his Father Emperor as much as possible.
Perhaps it was because of Dai Chengfeng's innate early wisdom, or perhaps it was because Dai Chengfeng was more likable...
From birth until now.
His Father Emperor was very strict with Davis and Dai Mubai, but he truly doted on him.
Therefore, Dai Chengfeng actually didn't want to disappoint him.
"Father Emperor!"
"I wonder if you have ever heard a saying, the best defense is always offense!"
"And my first Soul Skill, Gengjin Qi, its sharpness can break through most barriers in the World, and its potential is absolutely incomparable to the White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
"Audacious!"
Star Luo Emperor Dai An instantly stood up, grabbed the teacup beside him, and heavily smashed it at Dai Chengfeng's feet, roaring angrily.
"You actually said that the potential of your Gengjin Qi is incomparable to the White Tiger Protection Barrier?"
"I think what you really want to say is... you are even more powerful than the ancestors!!!"
"Dai Chengfeng!"
"Have I, your Father, been too indulgent and spoiled you before, which is why you dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous!"
"Originally, when I saw you awaken Innate Full Soul Power, I had already decided to support you as the next Crown Prince of my Star Luo Empire."
"This time, I only wanted you to realize your mistake and not act willfully again when absorbing the second and third Soul Rings."
"But now it seems I must give you some punishment!"
Saying that.
Dai An roared towards outside the palace, "Someone!"
Instantly.
Several imperial guards in silver armor stepped into the palace, kneeling on one knee, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"I declare!"
"From this day forward, all titles and fiefs of the Fourth Prince Dai Chengfeng are abolished, he is demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Wu'an City!"
"Without my decree, he is not allowed to return to the Imperial Capital privately!"
The several imperial guards were filled with surprise.
After all, who didn't know that the most favored prince in the entire Star Luo Empire was this Fourth Prince Dai Chengfeng.
Although the royal family of the Star Luo Empire had its own unique inheritance rules.
But a few days ago, this Fourth Prince had awakened such a powerful talent as Innate Full Soul Power, and almost everyone believed that the candidate for the next Star Luo Emperor would no longer be in suspense.
The First Prince Davis and the Third Prince Dai Mubai were only fit to be foils for this Fourth Highness.
The Zhu Family even shamelessly sent their third daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, who was only a few years old and was supposed to be betrothed to Dai Mubai, into the Fourth Highness's mansion.
The pleasant-sounding reason was to cultivate feelings early so that they could awaken the Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as possible.
But now...
"What kind of mistake did this Your Highness Chengfeng commit to make His Majesty so furious?"
"Not only is he to be demoted to a commoner, but also exiled to Wu'an City?"
One should know that Wu'an City, although it had the word 'An' (peace) in its name, was absolutely not a safe place.
On the contrary, it was a border city bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although the two great Empires had not had large-scale conflicts recently due to the Spirit Hall, small-scale bloodshed was constant.
Wu'an City was precisely one of the main battlefields.
There, the streets would run red with blood for several days each month, with killings filling the sky.
"Dai Chengfeng!"
"I ask you one last time, do you know your mistake?!"
"As long as you are willing to admit your mistake, not gamble the royal glory of my Star Luo Empire, and attempt your so-called Martial Soul development concept that is no weaker than the ancestors, and absorb Soul Rings according to the ancestral methods."
"Considering that you are still young, it is not impossible for me to be lenient with you!"
Looking at his Father Emperor, who seemed ready to withdraw all punishment as long as he was willing to bow his head and admit his mistake, Dai Chengfeng still shook his head firmly.
"Father Emperor!"
"Are the ancestors necessarily right?"
"Time will prove the ancestors' mistake, and I will also... surpass the ancestors!"
After saying that.
Dai Chengfeng turned around and walked towards outside the palace, his back showing not the slightest hesitation.
After all, some things cannot be compromised.
"The chilling west wind cuts through the courtyard, the cold fragrance of snow does not dampen the Spirit."
"If I become the White Emperor in the future, I will make the peach blossoms bloom in one place!"
