Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 178 He Caitou's Submission
If we agree to Huo Yuhao's request, no, wouldn't that be betraying the academy?

The academy had always treated him very well, especially Teacher Fan Yu. Although Teacher Fan Yu had led him to steal blueprints last time, and they were caught and both of them were sent back, losing the opportunity to continue studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he did not harbor any resentment towards Teacher Fan Yu.

When he fled from the Sun Moon Empire to the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was Teacher Fan Yu who saved his life, took him as a disciple, and gave him a place to stay.

Fan Yu's kindness to him was immense.

Therefore, the thought of betraying the academy put him in a dilemma.

“He Caitou, our interests are aligned.” Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Tianran, who had a conflicted expression, and spoke his mind.

The tent he was in was now within the range of the soundproof soul guide device, so the outside world could not hear what was being said here, and therefore he could say some things to He Caitou.

Of course, if He Caitou agrees later, then he can ask Electrolux to place a restriction on He Caitou to prevent him from revealing today's conversation.

"Shared interests?" He Caitou was a little confused. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "You are a genius soul master of the Sun Moon Empire, while I am from Shrek Academy."

We have absolutely no common interests, and before coming here, I never imagined that you would be the one writing to me.

With a smile, Huo Yuhao explained, "The Sun Moon Royal Family is now our common enemy."

He Caitou was somewhat astonished upon hearing this: "Your parents are also... No, that's not right. Your father is Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan, and he has absolutely no connection with Xu Tianran and his group."

"So, your joining the Sun Moon Empire was actually part of the Star Luo Empire's plan? Was the father-son falling out just a performance for everyone to see? Or did you never actually break ties?"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that He Caitou had quite the imagination. He shook his head and said, "If we follow your logic, I should be a pure Star Luo person who is infiltrating the Sun Moon Empire. However, I have been a Sun Moon person for a long time. Your idea is completely invalid."

"Then why did you say that the Sun and Moon Royal Family is our common enemy?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice. "I know you actually suspect that I have some connection with the current Sun Moon Royal Family, but in reality, I have no connection with them whatsoever, not even a single copper soul coin."

Otherwise, the moment you arrived, I should have executed you immediately to prevent you, the so-called former crown prince, from gathering forces to try and undermine the current Sun Moon Imperial Family's position. Therefore, our cooperation is based on mutual benefit.

He Caitou was taken aback, thinking that Huo Yuhao's words made sense. After a moment of thought, he said, "If our cooperation requires me to betray the academy, then I cannot do such a thing."

Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou and said, "He Caitou, you need to think this over carefully. If you don't agree to be an undercover agent, then I'll have no choice but to hand you over to Xu Tianran."

I believe that once Xu Tianran finds out that you, the former crown prince, are still alive, he will definitely not let go of the good opportunity to kill you.

"And are you really that loyal to Shrek Academy? If you're truly that loyal, why have you been hiding your identity all this time?"

"I was doing it for their own good!" He Caitou began to defend his actions. Huo Yuhao shook his head: "For their own good? He Caitou, you can only fool outsiders with that kind of talk, how can you believe it yourself?"
If you truly care about them, then you should tell them your real identity!
I believe that those elders of the Sea God Pavilion might even help you establish a 'exiled' mini-court in order to restrain the Sun Moon Empire, thereby influencing the internal situation of the Sun Moon Empire. The legitimate Sun Moon lineage in the absolutely neutral Shrek Academy is itself a very promising thing.

"What, don't you want to reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to you, and then avenge your parents?"

He Caitou's face was grim. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said in a trembling voice, "Of course I want to avenge them and reclaim the throne, but the timing is not right! Only when I find the right opportunity can I kill my enemies and avenge my parents."

"The timing isn't right?" Huo Yuhao sighed. "He Caitou, you are now a trainer of Shrek Academy's Extreme Individual Soldier Program. Shrek Academy values ​​you highly. This is a good time for revenge."

Shrek Academy has invested so many resources in training you. If you choose revenge, how could they possibly watch you die in vain? They will definitely protect you.

Moreover, I must tell you that the Sun and Moon Emperor's health is deteriorating, and I estimate that he will die in a few years.

"What, you don't actually want to wait until the Sun and Moon Emperor dies before spitting in front of his tomb, do you? Surely no one would really think that, right?"

He Caitou was silent for a moment. He hadn't expected that Huo Yuhao would even know about the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan. This kind of plan was clearly a highly confidential matter in the academy. Combined with the fact that the letter had appeared on his desk without him noticing, He Caitou felt that Shrek Academy had been infiltrated like a sieve.

Of course, he also felt that what Huo Yuhao said made a lot of sense, but something was still not quite right. However, when he thought of his parents’ tragic deaths, he subconsciously clenched his fists and his breathing became slightly rapid. The deaths of his relatives had always caused him great pain, and he could say that he hated the current Sun Moon Royal Family to the bone.

"Teacher Fanyu's kindness to me is immeasurable."

Huo Yuhao got up from his chair, walked over to He Caitou's side, patted He Caitou's shoulder, and said, "However, Xu Tianran's threat is also imminent, and it depends on whether I want to reveal your identity."

"He Caitou, you must find a way to avenge your parents! I can assure you, as long as Fan Yu doesn't do anything wrong, we will absolutely not kill him. If war breaks out in the future and Fan Yu is caught, I will definitely make sure he has a good life in prison."

After hearing these words, He Caitou pondered for a long time before finally nodding with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you, but what should I do?"

Huo Yuhao was quite pleased and began to manipulate He Caitou: "What should you do? Of course, you should study soul tools more and try to join the Star Luo Empire's army. Remember, you have to climb up step by step. You have to be Zhao... no, you have to strive to be the White Tiger Duke. This is all for your own good."

“Duke White Tiger.” He Caitou smiled bitterly. “That’s Dai Hao of the Dai family. I don’t know anything about warfare right now. Isn’t it a bit too much to aim for Duke White Tiger?”

Huo Yuhao immediately said, "I said this to encourage you. First of all, you are an excellent Soul Master. Such a talent will be respected wherever you go. Moreover, your Martial Soul and Soul Skills are very special and are of great use in war."

I believe that virtually every insightful general will not overlook you. Even if you don't reach Dai Hao's position, your entry into the Star Luo Army and your demonstration of your strengths, for your sake and for the sake of Shrek Academy behind you, means your promotion will be rapid.

He Caitou's martial soul is a cigar. In the character positioning of Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect, He Caitou is actually the former Oscar. Of course, as a food-type soul master, he is just as overpowered as Oscar.

Basically, the cigars created by He Caitou's soul skill all have important strategic significance. First of all, those cigars can be preserved for a relatively long time.
