"Sorry, Mr. Mu, I...I do have the blood of the Sun and Moon Empire's royal family."
He Caitou bit his lips and finally suppressed these words.
This is obviously a positive answer to Mr. Mu’s question.
But Moon seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and asked with a smile:
"Your answer doesn't fully answer my question, He Caitou. Are you called Xu He, Xu Cai, Xu Tou, or some other name?"
"Mr. Mu, please don't make fun of me..."
"Haha, I understand. No matter how you say the name of the former crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, although they keep it secret now, it was not a secret back then. I still know it."
Moon felt very comfortable.
He Caitou's statement at this time has undoubtedly preliminarily proved his loyalty and sense of belonging to Shrek. Moon has no intention of letting He Caitou play any role for the time being. As long as his position can be made clear, it will be enough.
He Caitou said hesitantly: "Mr. Mu, it's not that I can't trust the academy, but my identity is too sensitive, and I might be causing trouble to those who know about it. Even if it's Teacher Fan Yu, I've been holding back. It was revealed to him..."
"It doesn't matter. I understand your concerns, and so does the college. The person who knows your identity is currently limited to me, and it will not be spread to other people."
He Caitou couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Moon continued: "Since you regard the academy as your own home, the academy will naturally treat you as its own child. If there is an opportunity to fight for a piece of property for your children in the future, the academy will not hesitate to take action."
"Mr. Mu, what do you mean..." He Caitou's heart rate quietly increased.
"Haha, just be prepared for a rainy day. No one can predict the internal affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire. Maybe your identity will never be revealed for the rest of your life."
"It doesn't matter, since the day I escaped from the Sun and Moon Empire, I have never thought about picking up my old identity! I am just He Caitou, Shrek's He Caitou!"
Moon smiled and nodded.
Some elders who rarely leave Shrek City rather than staying at the front door never leave Shrek City. When they were young, they traveled around the world with Long Xiaoyao, known as the "Black and White Double Holy Dragon", and later went to Mingdu in person to see the best. Moon of Soul Guidance Technology has a clear understanding of the war potential of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The strongest fortresses are often breached from within. When the Sun and Moon Empire has an orthodox heir and the country is booming, it can be said to be extremely difficult for Shrek to interfere in its political situation.
But... what if the Sun and Moon Empire changes on its own? With the Sun and Moon Empire in chaos, Shrek and the Douluo Three Kingdoms may have the opportunity to intervene, and He Caitou's identity may be a trump card that can be thrown out.
Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, was well-known. Moon's vision, which he had honed over the years, was so vicious that even in Shrek City, one could tell that he was a tiger and a wolf.
If he really succeeds in ascending the throne, such an ambitious but physically disabled emperor will most likely use the mountains of ordnance in the Sun and Moon Empire's arsenal and the powerful soul master group that has been preparing for a long time to launch a war. Establish your own prestige and achieve a hegemony that will go down in history.
When that time really comes, no matter how forbearing Shrek is, he must take action to nip this huge factor of instability in the cradle. Perhaps on the surface, attacking Xu Tianran is adding fuel to the situation on the mainland, but in the long run, this is the best choice that can be made for the long-term peace of the mainland.
How to guide the situation in the "post-Xu Tianran era" of the Sun-Moon Empire is also a thorny issue. The inherent attributes of the current royal family members of the Sun-Moon Empire determine that they have a common stance on "being tough on Shrek and the Douluo Three Kingdoms." One by one, those princes used "fighting against history" in front of the ministers to prove their reliability and ability.
Then... it is natural to eliminate the roots. Shrek has already had a plan to eliminate Xu Tianran at the necessary moment to stop the war. Originally, the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire experienced cruel internal strife. No matter who the winner was, in order to win the hearts and righteousness of the people, , it is inevitable that Shrek will continue to maintain a tough and high-pressure attitude. This inherent contradiction that is difficult to change once gave Shrek a headache, and he could not find a suitable candidate to take over Xu Tianran's position.
However, He Caitou appeared, and his status as "the orphan of the late emperor" naturally occupies the commanding heights of law and morality. As long as all the sons of the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire died, He Caitou would naturally have a high priority. What's more, he also has the military support of Shrek and Douluo Three Kingdoms!
If he can take advantage of the situation and support He Caitou to take the lead, Shrek will be able to gain an unprecedented Sun and Moon Emperor who is close to Shrek Academy in terms of stance. Even if he is constrained by ministers and public opinion, He Caitou will still have to put the interests of the Sun and Moon Empire as the first starting point. But at least the tense situation on the mainland can be greatly alleviated. The only emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire who has the power to decide the war stands on his side. On Shrek's side, as long as Shrek and the Douluo Three Kingdoms express a certain intention of easing, this war will not start in He Caitou's lifetime.
As for the future... Let's talk about it in the future. At least the descendants of He Caitou must be closer to Shrek than the people of Xu Tianran's lineage, right? As long as the people in charge of Shrek's future are not too stupid, they will definitely know the necessity of consolidating the special relationship with the Sun and Moon Royal Family. Maybe they can win peace for the mainland for at least another thousand years?
Even if He Caitou cannot be supported to become a pro-Shrek Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, as long as He Caitou's existence can greatly affect the energy of the Sun and Moon Empire and win more time for Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek to prepare, then That's enough.
A series of arrangements took shape in Munn's mind. Perhaps this required He Caitou to make certain sacrifices, but Munn was sure that he would never see that day. He had already worked hard enough for Shrek, so he should leave it to the future. Go ahead and give yourself a headache...
After all, you have to believe in the wisdom of future generations.
Wait...descendants? !
Moon quickly sounded the alarm for himself again in his heart.
Don't expect too much from Xuanzi's wisdom. After the children leave Shrek to communicate and Xuanzi is placed under a grounding order, he must take advantage of the last period of his life to do more paving the way and connecting in order to form a solid foundation among Su Lao. He ignored Xuanzi's consensus, and after his death, he essentially handed over the supreme power of Poseidon Pavilion to Yan Shaozhe across generations, and hung Xuanzi high as a flag to deter the outside world.
Moon knew Yan Shaozhe so well. He was definitely not an honest person. He had a bit of his own youthful demeanor, and he could even be called "treacherous" if not polite.
It's good to be a little cunning, but how can you lead such a huge organization like Shrek to go smoothly in such a severe situation without being a little cunning?
The honest man Qian Duoduo, the nerd Fan Yu, the drunkard Xuanzi... In Moon's view, most people in Shrek do not have the ability to take over as the leader of this ten thousand year college. Among the next generation, he can only count on it. There is only one Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe's personal skills are already outstanding among Shrek's elders, but he still has the disadvantage of overly neglecting soul tools. This cannot be blamed too much on Yan Shaozhe. In the decades when he first started practicing, the soul guide had not yet shown such powerful power. And when Yan Shaozhe became a titled Douluo, he already had an inherent world view that was difficult to shake.
Moon no longer expects Yan Shaozhe to change his mind and sincerely support the development of soul guidance devices. He only hopes that Beibei will have an objective and comprehensive understanding of soul guidance devices after this study tour, so that he can accompany Zhang Lexuan in the future. After taking over Poseidon Pavilion, Shrek will vigorously transform.
……………
"Xuanzu, I..."
Beibei sat cross-legged, still in a decadent state of mind after receiving Munn's summons.
"Beibei, I will pay more attention to find out about Tang Ya for you, with the power of Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek."
"Thank you Xuanzu...but will this really have much effect..."
Beibei knew Shrek's power far more deeply than the average student, and she also knew clearly that Shrek was far from being as omnipotent and omnipotent as some people boasted.
"It's better than doing nothing, right? Using Poseidon Pavilion's power to inquire is much more effective than going to Tiandou City to inquire like a headless fly, right?"
"Xuanzu, how do you know?"
Beibei couldn't help but have a look of shame on his face. This was exactly what he had planned before.
For Xiaoya's sake, he even planned to take leave and postpone his participation in the exchange activities to the Sun and Moon Empire. But after her mind became clearer, Beibei also realized that her thoughts were not only wishful thinking, but also almost impossible to have any effect.
Among the spies in Shrek Academy, which one is not more professional than me in inquiring about information?
Even so, with the little manpower that Shrek directly controls, it is inevitable that there will be many information black holes that are difficult to reach in the vast continent.
Moon smiled: "What is there to hide between you and my grandson? What thoughts can you hide from my eyes?"
"I'm sorry, Xuanzu, it's because I care that I get confused... But I really can't worry about Xiaoya. I'm also afraid that in my current state, even if I go to the Sun and Moon Empire, I won't be able to calm down and study. Instead, I'll let down the academy." expect."
"No, if you really care about Tang Ya that much, you should go to the Sun and Moon Empire."
"Um?"
"There are some things you have to know sooner or later. Today I will take this opportunity to reveal some things to you."
Beibei acted like she was all ears.
"The Sun and Moon Empire is beyond the reach of Shrek. Although there are some people there who are willing to cooperate with us, the amount of information they can provide us is still too small after all. There is a level gap with the Douluo Three Kingdoms. In We can basically get all the official and market news that happens in the big cities of the Douluo Three Kingdoms in a timely manner. However, when it comes to the Sun and Moon Empire, we may not be able to understand even what happens in Mingdu."
Beibei nodded slightly.
"And the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is located in the capital of Ming, which itself is a place where powerful people gather. The family backgrounds of the students are not much different from Shrek. It is one of the places where news about the Sun Moon Empire spreads the most and fastest. . If Tang Ya really has any news in the Sun and Moon Empire... you can also learn about it immediately in Mingdu, which will complement Shrek's intelligence channels in the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
"Of course, this is just a less important reason. The reason why I think you have a greater chance of learning about Tang Ya when you go to the Sun Moon Empire than to Tiandou City is... Beibei, can you promise me that you After understanding the reasons behind this, do you still remain cautious and never make impulsive decisions?"
The confused Beibei still raised his right hand and solemnly swore.
"Haha, you young people sometimes act impulsively, and it's hard to say what will happen. Since you have made your promise, I will let Fan Yu keep an eye on you."
"Beibei, listen, in fact, the evil soul masters who were once scattered and fighting on their own gradually gathered together hundreds of years ago and began to form a tight organization with strong combat effectiveness and cohesion."
"We don't know the specific history of this organization, but we are sure that its home base is in the Sun and Moon Empire! And the name of this organization is called the Holy Spirit Cult. It has always been connived and even supported by the Sun and Moon Empire, and it is the majority of evil souls. The master’s final destination…”
Beibei couldn't help but feel horrified as she listened to Xuanzu's detailed explanation of what Shrek had learned about the Holy Spirit Cult.
Especially when Moon said, "The one who kidnapped Xiao Tao from Shrek a few days ago is undoubtedly the Holy Spirit Cult," he felt a huge wave in his heart.
An organization with at least nearly twenty titled Douluo-level evil soul masters...how terrifying is its strength?
Unless Shrek comes out in full force and the Sun and Moon Empire is willing to cooperate in providing access rights, how can the evil soul masters with such a mature influence be easily wiped out?
"Remember, Beibei, after arriving in the Sun and Moon Empire, you will never be allowed to step out of Mingdu unless Fan Yu agrees or has special reasons such as attaching a soul ring or experimental soul guidance device! I don't need you to come back to visit, Taking all the time to study in Mingdu is the best reward for me."
"Those evil soul masters don't dare to act recklessly in an important place like Mingdu. However, once they go to the wild, under the sneak attack of Contra-level evil soul masters, even the eighth-level soul masters will suffer heavy losses. If you really find out Regarding Tang Ya’s news, you must discuss everything with Fan Yu, and you must not make decisions on your own!"
…………
Mingdu, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Soul Guidance Device Test Area.
"Smile, do you want to go fish frying with Yuhao?"
"ha?"
Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen holding Huo Yuhao's left hand and running all the way over, putting down the fifth-level soul cannon he made in his hand, and his head was full of questions.
Meng Hongchen raised Huo Yuhao's left arm and shook it at Xiao Hongchen.
"It was your sister's idea..." Huo Yuhao whispered to Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen put the fifth-level soul cannon into the storage ring and waited for Meng Hongchen to give an explanation.
"That..." Meng Hongchen glanced around and saw that no one else was around, then continued:
"Didn't Yuhao absorb the soul bone... In the academy, we can only use a little water in the bucket to test the effect of the ice blast technique, but my grandpa and Yuhao all want to test the ultimate power of Yuhao's ice blast technique. ,so……"
Huo Yuhao put down his left hand and continued: "She asked the hall master to help contact the city defense army and help us find a reservoir in the suburbs for testing. After all, we have to keep it secret as much as possible. The remote location of the reservoir is more convenient and has enough space. Enough material..."
Xiao Hongchen thought for a while: "So what does this have to do with me?"
"Because it's fun, don't you want to see it? After going to Shrek, maybe you can't even beat Yuhao next time we meet."
"You... um... it's not impossible, I'm just curious..."
Xiao Hongchen was really curious about what kind of strength Huo Yuhao could exert after fusing that extremely expensive soul bone, and how far he was from his predecessor, the first genius of the Sun and Moon Empire.
At least so far, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, Xiao Hongchen is still far ahead!
"By the way, Meng, are you a bit abusing your power?"
"Just say whether you want to go or not!"
"...Obviously you asked me to go with you."
…………
Outside Mingdu City, next to a medium-sized reservoir.
The entire reservoir was now under martial law to prevent people who didn't know the truth from accidentally bumping into Huo Yuhao's experiment with ice blasting, a mass-destructive soul technique.
Even the soldiers in charge of martial law were asked by Jing Hongchen to stay away from him and were prohibited from appearing within his sight range.
"call……"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, feeling the fluctuations of the water body, and mobilized all his soul power to slowly inject it into the reservoir. The water body that originally appeared to be dark gradually transformed into a light white ice crystal state centered on the touch of Huo Yuhao's palm. , the circular ice surface spreads outward in circles.
"The control of ice can reach such a far range, and the ultimate attribute is so powerful..."
Meng Hongchen couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the reservoir that had frozen less than half under Huo Yuhao's control.
"Actually, it wasn't such an exaggeration." Huo Yuhao himself was quite surprised, but he still explained it to his grandfather and grandson first.
"Mainly because of the Xu Tianran that Lin Xi handed over to me... Oh, the water-cold jelly that His Highness the Prince rewarded him with, and the sea-tempered coral that he caught at the beach before, which made some hydrophilic modifications to my body. If necessary, I can use it as a half-water attribute soul master at close range."
"So, in an environment like a reservoir or the seaside where there is a large amount of water, the power I can exert is much stronger than usual."
While Huo Yuhao was explaining and continuing to inject soul power into the water to make ice, in the second sea of consciousness, Electrolux suddenly said to Huo Yuhao in a deep voice:
"Yuhao, I just felt a familiar feeling, a sacred aura that I haven't seen for a long time."
"What?"
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. Electrolux's words reminded him of something.
"Yilao, where did the sacred aura you mentioned appear?"
"That direction!"
Following the direction guided by Electrolux, Huo Yuhao focused his mental detection on this single direction and launched all-out detection.
Limited by Huo Yuhao's current cultivation level, although the distance of mental detection has been greatly improved compared to his beginning, it is still far from enough to meet the needs of use.
Huo Yuhao just felt that there seemed to be a vague abnormality at the end of the direction guided by Electrolux, but he was unable to explore further.
"boom!"
When the soul power in his body was on the verge of being exhausted, Huo Yuhao asked Jing Hongchen to lead three people, including himself, to distance himself from the reservoir. Then he pretended to snap his fingers and activated the long-charged Ice Explosion Technique.
In an instant, the ice that had covered less than half of the reservoir was completely detonated. It was like a micro-earthquake had occurred in the entire reservoir, making Huo Yuhao feel as if the ground beneath his feet was shaking.
Countless broken ice cubes and shards of ice shot up into the sky, carrying the fish and shrimp that had been unfortunately frozen before. Huo Yuhao's hydrophilicity-enhanced Ice Explosion Technique was fully revealed when he took advantage of the environment and hit it with all his strength.
"Good boy..." Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth slightly and murmured.
The power of the Ice Explosion Technique that Huo Yuhao triggered when he poured all his soul power into it was probably at least 70% as powerful as his full-strength attack when he first broke through the Soul King!
"Well... His Ice Explosion Technique needs to meet extremely harsh environmental requirements to reach this level, and it is impossible for the opponent to charge him for such a long time on the battlefield..."
"Unlike me, I can launch combos anytime and anywhere as long as I have enough metal... All in all, I win."
Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, held Huo Yuhao's left hand and shook it non-stop, feeling envious and upset to death.
If she had activated the ice blast technique, she might have blown up the entire reservoir to the sky!
"Ah...is there someone over there?"
"At this point, we can only take a gamble..."
The girl, whose face was pale due to blood loss, felt a loud noise coming from afar. She covered her injured shoulder, turned around and ran with all her strength in the direction of the sound.
"Boy, this woman still wants to run away!"
Under the black robe, a man gritted his teeth.
The companion next to him snorted coldly:
"How can we let her go after killing several of our brothers! Tell the others to stop hiding and fight quickly. If she runs away, it will be a big trouble in the future."
