"call----"
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, and seeing that no one was around, He Caitou decided to speak his mind.
Huo Yuhao sat up straight and simultaneously used his mental interference field to surround the two of them.
It's not that we're afraid of being robbed, it's that we're afraid of being coveted. Who knows if there are any experts in Shrek Academy who are eavesdropping on their little secrets?
"These past years, I've been suffering so much keeping it all inside—"
He Caitou looked up at the sky, and he seemed to have become a completely different person. His temperament had changed drastically. His original straightforward and honest nature had completely disappeared, replaced by a profound and mature demeanor that even Huo Yuhao could not fathom.
"Actually, my true identity is that of a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, and a member of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, the nephew of the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire—"
Huo Yuhao nearly jumped up, "Holy crap! And Big Brother, you—"
He Caitou gave a wry smile. "My real name is Xu He. He Caitou is a name I had to change out of necessity."
Then he told Huo Yuhao everything he had experienced.
"—The former crown prince has become a student of an opposing force. Isn't that ridiculous?"
At this point, He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao with red eyes and said, "Yuhao, actually, I really, really envy your talent. If I had your talent, I wouldn't bother with any extreme solo combat plan. I could just cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo and directly go and wipe out my enemies. How exhilarating that would be!"
"But I didn't—you know what? When I found out you rejected the Extreme Individual Soldier Program, I was actually incredibly relieved."
Then, He Caitou clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
While this is human nature and very realistic, it is dirty in some ways.
"I understand, Brother He." Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder, and He Caitou trembled, snapping out of his previous agitation.
"We are too weak now to talk about revenge. But I believe that time will come soon. I promise you, when the time is right, I will help you, I will help you complete your revenge!"
"—Thank you, Yuhao," He Caitou said, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes filled with fierceness. "Of course, if you need me, I, Xu He, will serve you without hesitation, even at the cost of my life!"
He Caitou's eyes were very serious, without the slightest hesitation.
It's clear that this hatred put immense pressure on him, and he's truly willing to give his life for revenge.
Huo Yuhao blinked twice, suddenly remembering the strange thing about Tang Ya and Bei Bei trying to recruit him into the Tang Sect.
perhaps----
"No, not at all. But I do have something I need your help with, brother. Don't worry, I won't force you."
He Caitou's eyes lit up. "Speak freely."
Huo Yuhao whispered, "Brother, do you still remember that person named Lan Xuanyu?"
"Hmm—I vaguely remember him. Wasn't he the one with the dog-ear hairstyle? What's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I have some past conflicts with Lan Xuanyu and Wang Dong, and I am not very at ease with their behavior."
"You don't mean to—" He Caitou made a throat-slitting gesture.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. "No, no—well, the two of them joined the sect called Tang Sect that Bei Bei and Tang Ya belong to. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a feeling that there's something wrong with that sect."
"If possible—I hope to join the Tang Clan with you, brother, and help me keep an eye on the Tang Clan's movements, especially those two, Lan Xuanyu and Wang Dong."
He Caitou thought for a moment, "Tang Clan — oh right, a few days ago Beibei and Tang Ya came over and invited me to join them. I didn't say anything, I just felt like they were playing house."
"Tang Ya is really ruthless—then I'll have to trouble you, Big Brother, to be my double agent."
"I'm not upset, it's all a small matter."
Then the two exchanged fists, thus forging a new alliance.
"Hey, Brother He, here you go." After saying that, Huo Yuhao handed He Caitou a blue box with a crystal screen.
"What is this?" He Caitou examined the object, instinctively feeling that it was a soul tool, but he couldn't say what grade it was.
"Hmm—this is a communication soul tool that my uncle taught me. He calls it a 'cell phone.' Its communication range is enough to cover half the continent, but it's only a semi-finished product."
He Caitou jumped up from his chair. "Covering half the continent!? This—this—"
It's no wonder he was so excited. The current communication soul tools can only go a few hundred kilometers at most, and they are bulky and cost a lot of money, far less convenient than the one Huo Yuhao has.
To put it simply, the biggest problems in the war on Douluo Continent right now are logistics and wartime communication. If this simple mobile phone can really be popularized in the army, it will undoubtedly give the army an overwhelming advantage in combat power.
Huo Yuhao pulled him down and made him sit back down. "We'll maintain a one-way communication. If Lan Xuanyu or Wang Dong does anything unusual, use this to notify me."
Then he explained the basic usage and operation of the mobile phone to He Caitou.
He Caitou swallowed hard. "Um—could I learn how to make this?"
It wasn't that He Caitou wanted to establish his own private armed force, but rather that, as a Soul Master, he wanted to study and research in depth.
"—The blueprints for this will be given to you later, but please don't let the higher-ups at Shrek Academy see them."
He Caitou nodded repeatedly, looking at the phone in his hand with obvious delight. "I understand, don't worry about it."
The two then discussed details such as how to exchange intelligence; being a spy naturally requires meticulous attention to detail.
Finally, Huo Yuhao's voice became more serious, "Brother He, from now on your code name will be Pangolin. If it's inconvenient to contact us by phone, use the method we agreed on before."
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Huo Yuhao was unaware that this hidden pawn he placed on He Caitou would later provide him with irrefutable evidence to openly disband the Tang Sect and execute Lan Xuanyu.
Time flies when you're practicing spiritual cultivation; six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Huo Yuhao's life at Shrek Academy's outer courtyard was relatively comfortable. Every morning he would practice swordsmanship and occasionally go to the Soul Guidance Department to casually make a few soul tools to practice with.
He had already broken through to level 40 a long time ago, but he had not yet obtained a soul ring. He had been compressing his soul power to cultivate, in order to advance better later.
During this time, Wang Dong came to Huo Yuhao's door several times, but Huo Yuhao, who knew in advance, avoided him, which made Wang Dong extremely dissatisfied.
Regardless of whether it works out or not, he wanted to try inviting Huo Yuhao to his house during his vacation.
However, dealing with Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao is a bit difficult.
It's not that they're difficult to deal with, it's just that they had too much fun last time, and this time during the holiday they want to go back to Xingluo City with Huo Yuhao again.
The two even argued that they could also protect Huo Yuhao while he obtained his fourth spirit ring.
But this time it really wouldn't work, because Huo Yuhao had to keep the secret of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm no matter what.
To suddenly treat a ferocious beast as one's own spirit ring or spirit bone sounds truly terrifying.
Although Huo Yuhao repeatedly declined and tried to reassure them, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao clearly did not want to let him go so easily.
so----
"Hey Sister Tao, why is this 'evil fire' getting more and more frequent the more you suppress it?!"
