Douluo ice demon Yuhao

Sixth grade teaching building, rooftop.

Orange leaned on the railing of the rooftop, looking down with a complex expression, a hint of sadness and melancholy on her beautiful face.

Huo Yuhao noticed that there was something wrong with Orange's demeanor, as if he had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything and just stood aside and watched the scenery silently.

After a long time, Orange spoke softly: "Junior Yuhao, no, I'll just call you Yuhao, okay?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "Of course, but Senior Orange, if you have to talk to me alone about something, do you even have to hide from Senior Keke and Senior Zimu?"

Orange turned around, looked at Huo Yuhao with complicated eyes, and asked: "Yuhao, are you from the Star Luo Empire?"

Huo Yuhao paused and replied: "Yes."

Orange closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes: "Then you should still remember that my father died in the war with the Star Luo Empire."

Huo Yuhao did not avoid Orange's gaze, but faced him calmly, nodded and said, "Remember."

Orange sneered lightly, turned around and leaned on the railing again, laughing at himself: "Actually, I should have guessed earlier, Yuhao, you are not from the Sun and Moon Empire."

"You don't behave like a soul master at all. Ordinary soul masters won't have such strong physical fitness as you."

Huo Yuhao didn't interrupt Orange and just listened to her talk.

"I checked your information again and found that you are actually an exchange student from the Star Luo Empire, haha..."

"But what I hate most is the Star Luo Empire."

Orange looked at Huo Yuhao again, with a trace of indescribable sadness in his eyes: "Yuhao, do you know? When I ate the grilled fish you cooked for the first time, I was deeply attracted by the taste."

"You remind me of my father again. I once said that if I want to marry someone sincerely, then I must marry a chef as good as my father."

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, and our feelings for each other haven't reached that point yet, I already regard you as a friend in my heart."

"But I can never forget that it was the Star Luo Empire that took away my father forever."

"Why are you from the Star Luo Empire?"

Orange's eyes were full of confusion, sadness, and a hint of sullen anger at being deceived.

Huo Yuhao looked at her calmly. After a long time, he said calmly: "Senior Orange, people have no way to choose their own birth."

"Yes." Orange smiled bitterly and shook his head, "So we have to become enemies."

"Xingluo and Sunyue are currently only at a superficial truce, and a full-scale war will definitely break out in the future."

"I originally imagined that after graduating from the academy, you would use your genius soul guidance device ideas to help build the Sun and Moon Empire and make the Sun and Moon Empire more and more prosperous, but..."

Orange let out a long sigh: "In one year, you will return to the Star Luo Empire. I believe that with your talent, you will shine in the future. By then, we may meet on the battlefield."

Huo Yuhao interrupted: "Senior Orange, don't worry, I will stay in the Sun and Moon Empire."

Orange was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "What did you say?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I have passed the assessment of Mingde Hall and can stay here for a long time. And I think that only by staying in the Sun and Moon Empire can I use my talent for soul guidance."

"So, I will stay in the Sun-Moon Empire and study soul guidance devices in the future."

Orange looked at him in disbelief: "You...are you telling the truth?"

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly.

Orange asked: "Yuhao, you...you are betraying your country, do you know?"

Huo Yuhao said: "I can be a pure researcher and will not set foot on the battlefield. Sister Juzi, you also know that my ideal is the same as Teacher Xuan Ziwen. I hope to use soul guides to change the lives of ordinary people."

"The other three countries do not have sufficient conditions. Only the Sun and Moon Empire has such soil suitable for the development of soul guidance technology."

Orange was stunned again, and then showed a surprised expression: "Yuhao, I didn't expect you to make such a choice."

"Don't worry, the Sun and Moon Empire will always open its doors to soul tool geniuses from all over the continent."

"With geniuses like you constantly joining us, the unification of the continent by the Sun and Moon Empire will definitely be just around the corner."

After saying that, the sadness on her face disappeared and she returned to her innocent and playful look.

"Great, so we won't be enemies in the future."

"Yu Hao, I remembered that there is an outsourced soul guidance device that needs to be made in the afternoon, so I will leave first."

Orange turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned around and stretched out a hand to Huo Yuhao.

"Senior Orange, what are you...?"

Orange smiled naively and said, "I haven't had lunch yet, so I'll ask you for your grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and handed her several skewers of grilled fish. Orange generously took one in his mouth, waved and walked downstairs.

After watching Orange leave, Huo Yuhao put away his smile, walked to the railing, and looked into the distance.

"War..." Huo Yuhao murmured, lost in thought.

The Sun and Moon Empire's ambition to unify the continent is obvious, and they have been secretly accumulating strength. When they are fully mobilized, they will explode with terrifying power that is completely different from the previous small fights.

Although the number of high-level soul masters in the Three Continental Kingdoms far exceeds that of the Sun-Moon Empire, the rapid iteration and upgrade of soul guides is enough for the Sun-Moon Empire to develop to the point of crushing the Three Continental Kingdoms in the visible future.

Just when Huo Yuhao was thinking, Yin Lex's voice sounded.

"Yuhao, what are you worried about? I can feel that you seem to be trapped in some kind of mental maze and cannot extricate yourself."

"Aren't you always a determined child?"

Huo Yuhao said solemnly: "I am indeed stuck on many things, but if I encounter some kind of logical dilemma, it is easy to get stuck and unable to get out."

Yinlux asked: "What are you confused about?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I am very eager to witness that a powerful country can unify this continent, but the process of unification will definitely be accompanied by unjust acts of aggression."

"In the world before me, there was such a tyrant. Although he shed thousands of miles of blood in the process of unifying the world, it was the vast territory he conquered that was praised by later generations."

"The Sun and Moon Empire is my favorite country. They have the ambition and strength to unify the continent. However, Xing Luo is also kind to me. I cannot stand by and watch the war between them and the Sun and Moon."

"No matter where you are, the country that takes the lead in launching a war of aggression is condemned."

"Mr. Yin, if it were you, what would you do?"

Yinlux chuckled: "My child, why do you need to ask me? In fact, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

Huo Yuhao covered his face with his right hand and smiled unconsciously.

"Yes, I have already answered..."

He looked towards a place from a distance, where was the Imperial City of the Sun and Moon.
