Huo Yuhao left Tiandou City and walked towards the Xingluo Empire with a serious expression.
He now knew the information of the insider, who was an eighth-level soul guide from Mingde Hall. As long as he exchanged secret codes with him, they would be able to recognize each other.
But Huo Yuhao did not feel happy at this moment. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
Tian Meng asked with concern: "What's wrong, Yuhao?"
“I always feel very melancholy and want to talk to someone.” Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"Then talk to us."
He said in a somewhat cold tone: "You are planning to leave an organization again. To be honest, this behavior is actually quite despicable."
"In our time, this kind of behavior would be called a traitor and would be condemned."
"Why?" Tian Meng asked in confusion, "Isn't it normal to leave if you're unhappy?"
"But you have received favors from the organization after all. Although Shrek Academy didn't give me any benefits, the Body Sect taught me combat skills, helped me obtain spirit rings, and told me several secret techniques."
He thought of that day when Du Bu Si said he would help him increase the age of his soul ring using a secret method.
Originally, he wanted to continue using the white soul ring to conceal his first two soul rings, but he was afraid that Du Bushi would see something, so he simply revealed the second soul ring's original purple soul ring and no longer hid it.
“When individuals integrate into an organization, use the power of the organization to protect themselves, and enjoy the benefits, they will inevitably have to bear some responsibilities for the organization.”
"But I'm afraid of what the Body Sect will do in the future. When that happens, should I stick to my original intention or follow the organization?"
Huo Yuhao raised his head and said coldly: "In fact, the reason I agreed to Ice Emperor to save Snow Emperor is because I think I have figured it out."
"My greatest source of strength is actually you, Tianmeng, Bingdi and Yin Lao."
"Then I don't need to join any organization at all, and I don't need to be responsible to any organization."
"I just need to be responsible for you, right?"
"Yeah." Tianmeng and Bingdi responded in a deep voice.
"Joining any organization will only expose your existence, but if we work alone, you can fully exert your power and no longer be restricted."
Huo Yuhao smiled and immediately felt extremely relaxed.
The corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly.
"Actually, I have some selfish reasons for agreeing to Hyotei."
"Do you think Xue Di will join us?"
Bingdi was silent for a moment, then said, "With her pride, she would never surrender to a human."
Huo Yuhao said no more.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his prejudice against soul beasts had faded a little. He felt that soul beasts could actually communicate and cooperate.
It seems...it started after exchanging memories with the Emperor's auspicious beast.
"But I still like the purpose of the Body Sect."
Huo Yuhao sighed slowly.
"Whatever you want~"
Chapter 186 Heading to the Sun-Moon Empire (4000)
Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City, Xingluo Royal Academy.
Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao in front of her with some surprise. She had not seen him for half a year, but Huo Yuhao's progress was somewhat beyond her expectations.
She asked, "Little brother Yuhao, why are you back? Are you happy in the Benti Sect?"
The Body Sect is the guardian sect of the Tianhun Empire. When Huo Yuhao was taken away by the Body Sect, she was worried that they would become enemies in the future.
“To be honest, Princess, I am not happy. I even feel a little depressed.” Huo Yuhao replied in a relaxed tone, “So I plan to secretly withdraw from the Body Sect.”
Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment: "Based on the style of the Body Sect, how could they allow..."
“Shh, so we have to do it secretly.” Huo Yuhao stretched out a finger and put it in front of his lips, smiling.
Xu Jiujiu sighed helplessly: "What if Du Fu is not killed and comes to Xingluo City to ask for people? Our small imperial city can't stand these masters destroying it."
"But don't worry, as long as you don't show up in public, it won't be a problem for me to hide you in Xingluo."
After saying that, Xu Jiujiu gave Huo Yuhao a mischievous smile.
"I won't stay in Xingluo anymore." Huo Yuhao suddenly said.
"Where are you going then?" Xu Jiujiu asked.
Huo Yuhao said seriously: “Your Highness, please help me arrange a place for an exchange student to the Sun Moon Empire.”
"You want to go to the Sun-Moon Empire?" Xu Jiujiu widened his eyes slightly.
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded with a serious expression.
"Why? If you want to learn soul guidance, can't Xingluo learn it?"
"Your Highness, the world of the future must be a world of soul-guided technology. I feel that the level of soul-guided devices in the Xingluo Empire is still a little behind, so I plan to go to the Sun-Moon Empire to take a look. Moreover, I also plan to go there to avoid the limelight."
"I believe that with my talent for soul guides, I can make rapid progress there, learn a lot, and bring all these achievements back to the Xingluo Empire."
Huo Yuhao brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago.
This was the method he had thought of to sneak into Mingde Hall as an exchange student from Xingluo Royal Academy.
Although stealing the Snow Emperor embryo is his main task, in order to infiltrate Mingde Hall, learning soul guides is of course an indispensable process.
Xu Jiujiu shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Our exchange student program with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is just a condition attached to the rare metal transaction. They have no intention of really teaching us anything."
"From what the two exchange students we sent out before said, they can only learn some basic content, and the teachers who teach them are only responsible for them in a basic way and will not teach them anything in depth."
"Two of them were lucky enough to meet friendly and responsible teachers, and benefited a lot from them, but most of the students mainly studied on their own in the library."
Huo Yuhao smiled confidently: "These are all easy to solve. The key is to get in first."
Xu Jiujiu propped up her head and silently watched Huo Yuhao. For some reason, she always had an inexplicable expectation and trust in this young man who was younger than her.
She pondered for a while, then gave a few instructions to the old lady in red, Manyi, who nodded and left. A few minutes later, she came into the room with a middle-aged man and a quiet-looking young student.
The two of them bowed respectfully to Xu Jiujiu: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xu Jiujiu introduced Huo Yuhao, “This is Director Xu, who is in charge of the affairs of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. This is Lin Shen, who participated in the exchange student program last year and had the best grades.”
She looked at the two of them again and said, "This is Huo Yuhao. He plans to participate in the next exchange student program. Please introduce him to the situation."
Huo Yuhao?
Hearing this familiar name, the two of them were stunned and looked at Huo Yuhao. Thinking of the mysterious young man who performed well in the previous Fighting Spirit Competition, they finally recognized him.
But shouldn’t he be from Shrek Academy?
Director Xu didn't think much and started the introduction.
"Two years ago, we reached an agreement with the Sun-Moon Empire. We can raise the price appropriately when purchasing their rare metals. In exchange, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will allow us to send ten students to study there every year for a period of one year."
"There are six grades in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The grades do not have any requirements for soul power level, but only for soul instructor level. Once you reach level one soul instructor, you can be promoted to level two. And so on. Once you reach level five soul instructor, you can be promoted to level six."
"Fifth grade and below all follow the class, while sixth graders have dedicated tutors to lead them."
Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this: "Why only one year? What can you learn in one year?"
Director Xu continued, "Sun Moon said that as long as you have excellent grades, reach the sixth grade and pass the assessment, you can enter Mingde Hall to study. Then the number of years of study can be appropriately extended."
He pointed to the young students around him.
"Lin Shen is one of the few students who was promoted to the sixth grade. Unfortunately, several of the sixth grade students failed to pass the assessment."
At this point, Director Xu sighed with some regret.
The young student who was originally quiet at the side said unwillingly: "Director Xu, in fact, I clearly passed the assessment, but they simply did not acknowledge it."
Director Xu patted him on the back helplessly and said, "Kid, I believe in you too. You have definitely made enough efforts to reach the fifth-level soul master in your twenties, but the assessment standards are set by them after all."
Huo Yuhao then asked, "You mean, you were treated unfairly, right?"
Lin Shen was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it. He said respectfully, "It's not just me. All of us who came here to study were treated unfairly."
"In addition to being ostracized by Sun and Moon students and teachers, we are also not allowed to touch advanced soul guides during our weekly visits to Mingde Hall."
"They also monitor our lives and check our storage soul guides from time to time, saying that they are preventing us from stealing metals and blueprints."
"I was lucky enough to meet a kind, conscientious and responsible mentor, and I made rapid progress in one year, but others were not so lucky."
"Although Sun and Moon didn't really do anything to us, we were all very uncomfortable and could only focus on studying."
Listening to Lin Shen’s dissatisfied complaints, Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
This kind of study abroad life is so real and terrifying that he couldn't help but sigh for those who could complete their studies and return home under backward conditions.
Listening to Director Xu and Lin Shen's introductions, he gradually extracted some key information in his mind, and then combined it with the information learned by the Body Sect.
The Xue Di embryo is stored in the underground base of Mingde Hall. The exact location is still unknown. We have to find a way to contact the insider of the Benti Sect.
However, only those who are at least level five soul masters are eligible to enter Mingde Hall. So Huo Yuhao’s current short-term goal is to become a level five soul master as soon as possible and pass the assessment to obtain the qualification to enter Mingde Hall, so that he will have a chance to find the place where the Snow Emperor embryo is stored.
Director Xu explained for a while. After Huo Yuhao had a basic understanding of the situation, he nodded and asked, "I understand. So when can I go?"
Director Xu replied: "Our group of students has only been here for half a year. We will need another half a year. After they come back, we can send out a new group of students during the next rare metal bulk transaction."
Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, he heard Ice Emperor’s exclamation in his mind.
"Half a year?"
"No, I can't wait that long."
Huo Yuhao tried to calm Bingdi down: "Bingdi, I understand how you feel, but there's no point in being anxious. Just trust me."
Bingdi regained his composure.
After comforting Bingdi, Huo Yuhao stood up and thanked the two of them: "Thank you, Director Xu, Senior Lin Shen, I understand. I will seize the next six months and try to break through to the fifth-level soul master."
"Level five?" Director Xu and Lin Shen were both stunned. "Then your current soul master level is..."
"Almost level 4, but no senior has issued me a certificate yet. This is what I did, so it should be able to prove it."
Huo Yuhao took out his soul guide pistol and twirled it between his fingertips.
Now this pistol that can fire freezing rays has been strengthened by him into a true fourth-level soul guide weapon.
