"Oh?"

"Yuhao, why did you join the Sun Moon Empire?" Wang Dong questioned.

Huo Yuhao, appearing as a member of the Sun Moon Royal Team, had clearly joined the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, even becoming part of Sun-Moon Hall.

Wang Dong didn't believe Huo Yuhao was acting as an undercover agent, as he had only spent a year at Shrek Academy.

His treatment at the academy wasn't great, and if the academy had wanted to send an undercover agent, they likely wouldn't have chosen him.

"Wang Dong, Sun-Moon Hall is more suited for me. Here, I can get what I want, but Shrek can't offer that," Huo Yuhao replied.

"Yuhao, you're from the Star Luo Empire!" Wang Dong shouted.

"Isn't Brother Caitou also from the Sun Moon Empire?" Huo Yuhao retorted.

"What?"

Many of the Shrek team members turned their gaze toward He Caitou, shocked by the revelation.

He Caitou was actually from the Sun Moon Empire.

"That's different!"

"How is it different?" Huo Yuhao countered, "Honestly, there's nothing more to say. My goal is revenge, and Shrek can't give that to me."

Even now, recalling the time he was forcefully taken away, Huo Yuhao didn't hold any resentment toward Jing Hongchen. In fact, he even felt fortunate to have been brought back.

Yes, Sun-Moon Hall was truly the place for him.

Huo Yuhao thought inwardly.

As he grew older and understood more about the situation on the continent, Huo Yuhao realized that staying in Shrek Academy would never allow him to take the revenge he desired.

Even if he possessed overwhelming strength and bore the responsibilities placed on him by the academy, he knew he could never act on his vengeance.

Thankfully, he had left early. If he hadn't, things might have turned out differently.

Now, even if he were tasked with killing Xu Tianran, he would have to worry about what would happen to Jing Hongchen and the others after he took action.

"Why wouldn't it work? Shrek Academy is the continent's number one academy! At Shrek, you can gain the most powerful strength. With strength, can't you take revenge?" Wang Dong was still unable to let go of Huo Yuhao's departure, almost obsessively so. He was determined to get to the bottom of it.

After all, the bond between the two had been very close during their year together.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, choosing not to answer further.

His gaze shifted to Dai Huabin in the Shrek team, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Dai Huabin furrowed his brows tightly.

Though his relationship with Huo Yuhao had never been good, and they even had a grudge, why did it feel like there was a deep, bloodied enmity between them?

When Huo Yuhao looked at him, it felt as though Dai Huabin's heart was being tightly squeezed, and he struggled to breathe.

Beside him, Zhu Lu seemed to sense the change. She tightly hugged Dai Huabin's arm, furrowing her brows as she stared at Huo Yuhao, remaining silent.

"Huo Yuhao, why can't it be done?" Wang Dong seemed to throw a tantrum, insistent on pressing for an answer.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao decided to stop holding back.

"Kill Duke White Tiger, destroy the White Tiger Duke's estate, and my vengeance will be avenged. Do you think I would have such an opportunity if I stayed in Shrek?" he asked, his tone carrying a trace of bitter irony.

Wang Dong's expression stiffened.

So did the expressions of the entire Shrek team, including Shrek's instructor and Huo Yuhao's former Soul Engineer teacher, Fan Yu.

Fan Yu had met Huo Yuhao back at Sun-Moon Hall, but after returning to Shrek, he had kept this information to himself, hoping to let it slide as if nothing had happened. When he saw Huo Yuhao again today, he had already realized that Huo Yuhao would never return. Their conversation back then had made his resolve clear.

However, he never expected that Wang Dong's impulsive questioning would lead Huo Yuhao to reveal the true enemy.

At this moment, Fan Yu understood fully why Huo Yuhao had chosen Sun-Moon Hall without hesitation.

It wasn't that Shrek had failed him, but from the beginning, their positions had been wrong.

Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted over Wang Dong, focusing on Dai Huabin. His eyes, now completely devoid of concealment, were filled with killing intent.

"Although I don't know why you have a grudge with my White Tiger Duke's estate, now that you've dared to say such things, my White Tiger Duke's estate will no longer be afraid."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, Dai Huabin's confidence wavered.

He felt that the Huo Yuhao he had once looked down upon had changed completely.

The strength Huo Yuhao now exuded was far beyond his own.

The killing intent just now had made him feel like he had fallen into an icy abyss.

At this moment, an icy, murderous aura filled the air between the two teams.

It was a chilling cold.

Even Shui Yun'er, with her Ice Phoenix martial soul, felt the cold bite into her bones.

"It's impossible!" she exclaimed.

This wasn't just killing intent, it was—

"Extreme Ice."

Both Su Tong and Shui Yun'er spoke at the same time, and Shrek's team members were once again struck by a heavy blow to their hearts.

Huo Yuhao was Extreme Ice!

Moreover, with the release of his killing intent and soul power fluctuations, they could tell that his aura had reached the Soul Emperor level!

Soul Emperor-level Extreme Ice.

This was a massive problem.

And it also meant that Shrek had suffered a great loss.

They had lost someone with Extreme Ice.

However, even knowing that Huo Yuhao was Extreme Ice, Shrek wouldn't dare to cultivate him further.

The White Tiger Duke's estate had been destroyed.

This was Huo Yuhao's revenge.

Shrek could never agree to this—it would be a huge blow to the academy's reputation. The family of Dai Mubai, one of the original Shrek Seven Monsters, had been wiped out by one of the academy's own students.

It was absolutely impossible.

Even Wang Dong knew that the Clear Sky Clan behind him wouldn't allow the White Tiger Duke's estate to be destroyed by Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the young man filled with killing intent.

He understood the depth of Huo Yuhao's hatred now, but he had never known the target. Now that he knew, he also understood that he would never be able to change his mind.

The already tense atmosphere between the two teams was now filled with killing intent.

The situation became even more critical.

"Let's go."

Su Yu spoke, his words like a force of nature, instantly suppressing all the killing intent and hatred in the air.

Huo Yuhao nodded and turned to leave with Su Yu. The other members of the team, who had been eagerly spectating, obediently stopped watching and followed the two as they left the scene.
