Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Let's go."
The Sun-Moon Academy covers a large area and also has a small artificial lake. Compared with the Poseidon Lake of Shrek Academy, it is much smaller, but the scenery is also extremely beautiful.
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou strolled along the lake.
He Caitou sighed, "I miss it so much, Yuhao. When you were still in Shrek, we also took walks beside the Sea God Lake like this."
Huo Yuhao smiled and extended two fingers to He Caitou.
He Caitou understood what he meant, took out a cigar, lit it and handed it to him.
Huo Yuhao took the cigar and asked for another one: "Brother Caitou, give me one more."
"Want to suck two at the same time? Yuhao, when did you become so greedy?" Although he said this, He Caitou still handed him another one.
He was about to light it but was stopped by Huo Yuhao.
"No need to light this one."
Huo Yuhao put the second cigar into his belt.
He Caitou asked with a smile: "Who do you want to bring the cigar to?"
“No, no, no, this is a new topic I came up with.” Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “I want to make a soul guide cigarette with a cigar effect, so that I can smoke a cigar all the time.”
He Caitou: "...Is there any other soul guide like this?"
Huo Yuhao asked again, “Brother Caitou, you took the initiative to look for me. I’m afraid you have something on your mind, right?”
"I can't hide it from you." He Caitou smiled innocently, but then the smile disappeared, and his face was full of bitterness. "Do you remember our conversation by the Sea God Lake?"
“Remember.” Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Yuhao, you have left Shrek Academy, and I have become a candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Program again. I study and practice harder every day just to avenge my uncle."
He Caitou gritted his teeth. When he thought of the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, the murderer who killed his entire family, he could not control his emotions.
“Brother Caitou, I understand how you feel. You’ve been feeling depressed all this time, right? It’s time to let it all out.” Huo Yuhao consoled him.
"Yuhao, thank you." He Caitou took a deep breath, and his emotions obviously calmed down. His original resentment turned into a long sigh.
"But I understand that my talent is not top-notch, and I will never be able to contend with the power of the Sun and Moon Royal Family even if I break through to the Titled Douluo."
Huo Yuhao said: "So you want to..."
“Yuhao, help me.” He Caitou suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao and said excitedly, “I want to borrow your strength.”
"You are from the Xingluo Empire. Xingluo and Sun and Moon are sworn enemies. We have a common enemy."
"In today's match, I once again witnessed how powerful you are. I checked and found that your opponent is Ji Juechen, a Soul Emperor with considerable strength."
"But you defeated him so easily. With your cultivation level of just five rings, you won so beautifully and easily."
"I believe that you are definitely the most promising genius on this continent. I heard from my teacher that you will definitely break through to the level of Titled Douluo in the future. No, you will become a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo."
"By that time, no one on this continent will be your opponent. Yuhao, help me!"
He Caitou became more and more excited as he talked. Fortunately, it was already late and there were no other students near the artificial lake.
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, He Caitou said, “As long as you help me get revenge, I can give you anything. You can even become the Sun and Moon Emperor!”
After saying that, He Caitou panted and looked at Huo Yuhao with a burning gaze.
This scene was exactly the same as the one that happened beside the Seagod Lake, but Huo Yuhao gave a different answer.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, then said, “Brother Caitou, I can help you, but you are still needed to be the Sun and Moon Emperor.”
"Really...really?" He Caitou said in surprise.
“Well, you also said that we have a common enemy.” Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “I believe that you will become a peace-loving emperor and will not send troops to attack Xingluo and Tianhun again.”
"Sure." He Caitou nodded firmly.
After He Caitou left, Huo Yuhao continued to stand beside the artificial lake. The evening breeze was blowing gently, and he looked at the other side of the lake with a cold gaze.
His mood was like the unsettled lake, rippling with a silent sense of loss.
"You actually agreed to him so easily? Without asking for anything in return?" Xue Di's questioning voice rang in his ears.
“It’s just a favor.” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “Anyway, the Sun Moon Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Cult are now in cahoots with each other, I must get rid of them together, so I’ll just do Brother Caitou a favor.”
"Moreover, compared to completely overthrowing the royal family, supporting a puppet emperor to take power is more legitimate, and it will be much easier to do something with his support afterwards."
"You are quite generous, but I am afraid others will not appreciate it." Xue Di said coldly, "That was murderous intent just now, right?"
She glanced at Tian Meng, who was lying on the snow nearby. Tian Meng quickly agreed honestly, "That's right, although it was only a brief moment, that person did burst out with murderous intent just now."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I feel it, so I feel an indescribable sense of loss right now."
Bingdi asked: "Why? Weren't you two very good brothers before?"
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: “Because I am the only one who knows the secret of Brother Caitou’s life experience. He didn’t even tell Brother Yu.”
"I'm afraid if I don't agree, he will find a chance to kill me and silence me."
He Caitou, who always appears to be honest, actually has a deep hostility hidden in his heart. Perhaps even his mentor Fan Yu, who lives with him day and night, does not know it.
Bingdi asked: "Are you afraid of him?"
"I'm not afraid of him. What I'm afraid of is the complete breakdown of the beautiful friendship we once had. Bingdi, do you think I'm a heartless person?"
Bingdi asked back: "Isn't it?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, then said, “It won’t be like that in the future.”
"Most of the time, I don't like seeing beautiful things broken."
He looked across the lake again, feeling irritated and uneasy.
He and He Cai Tou do have a common enemy, but do they really have a common goal?
Huo Yuhao was unwilling to expose this point proactively, so he let He Caitou be a puppet emperor.
The order of succession to the Sun and Moon throne is that the prince with inherited martial spirits comes first, followed by the princes without inherited martial spirits and the heirs of the royal family with inherited martial spirits.
If all the princes of the current emperor are gone, legally speaking, He Caitou would become the direct descendant with the highest right of inheritance.
It's very strange. Even though the royal family doesn't necessarily have the strongest people on the continent, the people tend to listen to the royal family more.
"My former classmates fought each other, and we will never meet again by the river."
He hummed slowly, threw his half-smoked cigar into the lake, and walked towards the dormitory.
Before they knew it, it was already dark. Just as Huo Yuhao reached the door of the dormitory building, a tall and slender figure quickly jumped out from it.
Huo Yuhao frowned and used his spiritual power to detect that the tall figure was exactly the person he had seen during the day.
Ghost Nana.
Where is she going so late?
It’s better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Let’s start tracking this ghost Nana from today.
Huo Yuhao hid his figure and followed Nana quietly.
Nana walked out of the academy and walked through Mingdu like she was familiar with it. After running for nearly an hour, she finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous building in Mingdu.
She took a deep breath, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she murmured, "Mom and Dad, I'm here to see you."
Then she put on a white hood, and then a hat with a veil hanging down, and continued to move forward.
Snapped--
Nana only heard a slight sound, and then saw the hat on her head being blown away by external force.
A black-haired young man wearing sunglasses walked out from the side at some point, holding the bamboo hat in his right hand, and said coldly.
"You really are related to the Holy Spirit Church, Ghost Nana."

"who are you?"
Nana looked at the black-haired young man who suddenly appeared in front of her with a look of surprise.
He appeared without any sign, and as soon as he appeared, he called out his name, with ill intentions.
After a brief moment of surprise, Nana subconsciously took out her short-blade soul guide, swung it lightly, and cut out a sharp wind blade.
Huo Yuhao, who had transformed into a black-haired young man, simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the slash. Then his figure flashed like a black whirlwind, faster than the wind blade swung by Nana.
"So fast." Nana was shocked.
Huo Yuhao’s speed was so fast that he appeared in front of him in an instant like a ghost.
Nana herself is a quick attack spirit master, known for her speed, and her spirit is called Ghost, but at this moment she actually feels that compared to herself, the other party is a real ghost.
She reacted quickly, flipping her other hand and taking out a dark red short blade.
The moment the short blade appeared, the air around it instantly heated up. Nana swung it again, releasing a flaming slash.
Huo Yuhao did not dodge this time, but faced the scorching flame head-on.
blah-
The flames mysteriously disappeared and turned into billowing white mist.
Nana was stunned for a moment. Her attack was... ineffective?
wow——
Along with the sudden chill, Huo Yuhao's figure suddenly emerged from the white mist, and he stretched out his right arm to grab Nana who was standing there in a daze.
The third soul ring behind Nana suddenly lit up, and her entire figure instantly became illusory.
The third soul skill, ghost possession, is activated.
This is her life-saving skill, which allows her to transform herself into a ghost to avoid all physical attacks.
But she failed to avoid Huo Yuhao's right claw.
Nana, who had turned into a ghost, was still grabbed by the face by Huo Yuhao and lifted up.
"This is impossible!" Nana felt her mind go blank, and then an inexplicable shudder came from the depths of her soul.
This is the life-saving skill she is most proud of, and it has never failed.
