Chapter 86 Shrek's Pit
"Oh, right," Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered, "the Lan sisters have returned to the Body Sect?"
Long Aotian nodded: "They've already gone back. Their martial spirit is a bit lacking, but their talent is quite good."
Then Long Aotian frowned and pondered for a while: "Speaking of which, I also got some interesting news from them."
"I just went out to report this situation to the Empire."
Huo Yuhao became interested.
Long Aotian said, "When I went there as an exchange student, it wasn't long before their freshmen's three-month competition."
When the Body Sect first arrived at Shrek Academy, the pressure from Poison Undying pinned Class One's homeroom teacher, Zhou, to the ground, rendering him unable to move. Afterwards, Shrek Academy held a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.
Xuanzi believed that Zhou Yi's teaching methods made Shrek Academy lose face in front of the Body Sect, so he removed her from her position as class teacher.
At that time, the Sea God Pavilion originally wanted to arrange for Zhang Lexuan to temporarily take over as the homeroom teacher, so as to help her train her coordination skills.
As a result, the Soul Guidance Department seized the opportunity to act.
They arranged for Fan Yu to be the homeroom teacher because Fan Yu was Zhou Yi's husband and was familiar with the class.
Because the Soul Guidance Department had their eye on Wang Dong, who had used his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul to resist the aftershocks of the explosion.
Wu Tianchui produced a master craftsman ten thousand years ago. Even though Shrek Academy didn't know about soul forging, they still recognized Haotianchui's outstanding talent in soul tool making.
At least the metal forged by the Haotian Hammer has greater strength.
Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled, "We've known about Wang Dong for a long time, but that's hardly interesting, is it?"
"The Empire tried to follow the route Wang Dong took during his vacation to find Haotian Fortress, but lost track of him."
"The interesting one isn't Wang Dong," Long Aotian chuckled, "it's Fan Yu."
Huo Yuhao was even more puzzled.
Long Aotian continued, "The Lan sisters told me that when Fan Yu went to class, they clearly focused on teaching soul tools."
"And every time he went to class, he would bring a guy named He Caitou with him."
"And what I'm going to talk about is this turnip."
He Caitou is a student of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. He is known as the person with the most talent for Soul Guidance at Shrek Academy and is Fan Yu's favorite disciple.
However, his origins are mysterious; all that is known is that Fan Yu rescued him from a certain place in the Heavenly Soul Empire several years ago.
"After learning about the Soul Forging Project, I audited classes at Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department."
"So I had contact with this He Caitou. I found that he had deep feelings for Shrek Academy, but was completely indifferent to the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"Neither hate nor like, as if it had nothing to do with him at all."
In Long Aotian's view, this was very abnormal.
A Soul Master who was rescued from the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but who had no sense of belonging to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Fan Yu said that He Caitou was originally the son of a merchant from the Tianhun Empire, but later his whole family was killed by bandits.
Only He Caitou, who was only nine years old at the time, escaped.
However, He Caitou never missed his hometown in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
They didn't even express any desire for revenge against the bandits.
It's too bland.
"Later, I tried every possible means and finally managed to find out He Caitou's martial spirit."
"Junior brother, can you guess what He Caitou's martial soul is?"
Huo Yuhao named seven or eight martial souls in a row, but Long Aotian denied them all with a smile.
"It's a cigar."
"A food-type martial soul?" Huo Yuhao frowned. "This might have had extremely important strategic value for the empire ten thousand years ago."
"But it's not very useful in the Soul Guidance War."
"and-
Long Aotian interrupted Huo Yuhao: "Junior brother, I'll remind you of four points. Think about them in conjunction with what I just said."
"First, He Caitou's skin is very dark, abnormally dark."
"Secondly, where did the cigars originate?"
"Third, He Caitou is fifteen years old this year."
"Fourth, after the news that the Sun Moon Empire might be cooperating with evil soul masters reached Shrek Academy, He Caitou's emotions were very abnormal."
Huo Yuhao was startled.
Such an abnormally dark skin tone is only found in the Sun and Moon Empire.
The cigar originated in the Japanese Empire.
As for He Caitou, he is fifteen years old this year.
As Long Aotian just mentioned, he was saved by Fan Yu when he was nine years old.
Six years ago, a sensational event occurred in the Sun Moon Empire that shook the entire continent.
A coup d'état that seized power.
The previous dynasty was wiped out overnight, with not a single survivor.
When Huo Yuhao first returned to the Body Sect from the far north and reported that the evil soul masters might be cooperating with the Sun Moon Empire...
Zhao Xuan, a courtier of the royal family, even mentioned this matter once.
Huo Yuhao quickly recalled the situation regarding the previous dynasty of the Sun and Moon.
Seven princesses and one prince.
The Crown Prince's age seems to coincide with that of He Caitou!
"So, He Caitou's true identity is very likely Xu He, the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire?!"
Huo Yuhao was deeply shaken.
The message that Long Aotian brought back has too many hidden details!
What is the purpose of a former crown prince of an empire who hides his identity and enters Shrek Academy?
Does Shrek Academy know his identity?
Even an exchange student like Long Aotian noticed He Caitou's unusual behavior, so how could Shrek Academy not know?
Long Aotian reached out and pressed down on Huo Yuhao's shoulder: "These are all just guesses."
"After all, He Caitou's facial features are nothing like those of the Sun Moon Empire."
"His martial soul and age may be coincidences. Even his emotions during that period may be related to the open and covert struggles between the martial soul department and the soul guidance department of Shrek Academy."
"I only made this guess because his attitude towards the Heavenly Soul Empire was too indifferent."
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "But no matter what, this intelligence is too important."
"If He Caitou's identity is indeed that of the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, then Shrek Academy's stance is worth considering. 'Education for all is not the way it should be!'"
Long Aotian continued, "The Heavenly Soul Enforcement Team has already sent people to investigate the hometown that He Caitou mentioned."
"All the merchants over there are registered. It's easy to find out which ones have stopped paying taxes over the past six years."
"We'll review the files again later and compare the tax-cutting merchants with the bandit suppression records from six years ago to find out the truth."
"If a merchant's entire family is wiped out, the local chamber of commerce can't possibly be unaware of it, nor can they possibly fail to step forward, otherwise the chamber of commerce would be unable to continue operating."
"Therefore, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also sent people to investigate the merchant guilds below."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How is He Caitou's talent?"
"Strong," Long Aotian grinned, "Very strong."
"For a food-type Soul Master to reach his current level of cultivation at his age, the only possible outcome is that he possesses innate full Soul Power."
I understand what you mean.
"The Empire has also sent people to investigate the records of the martial spirit awakening in He Caitou's hometown nine years ago, as well as the enrollment files of the relevant soul master academies."
"A food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, and a merchant's son at that, it's impossible for him to have missed three years of schooling."
If no record is found—
A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"That means there's a serious problem with He Caitou's identity!"
"Senior Brother Long," Huo Yuhao asked, "if we can confirm that He Caitou's identity is unusual, what does the Empire plan to do?"
Long Aotian sneered, "Then the Empire will tear off Shrek Academy's hypocritical mask in front of the entire continent!"
Huo Yuhao noticed the key words in Long Aotian's words.
The entire continent.
The continent today is not just the original Douluo Continent, but also includes the Sun Moon Empire that collided with it later.
The Heavenly Soul Empire wants to expose He Caitou's identity during the Soul Master Competition!
