Looking at Huo Gua, whose emotions were clearly fluctuating and who was even somewhat filled with grief and indignation, Zhou Huan thought to himself, "Now this is more like the Son of Destiny of Douluo Continent."

In that case, I might as well secretly add a little fuel to the fire.

Zhou Huan shook her head and replied calmly, "No."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua frowned immediately and asked, "Why? Or what do you want in exchange for information?"

However, Zhou Huan simply replied calmly, "There's no need for an exchange. I'm not interested in anything you have. The reason I can't tell you is... you're too weak."

There is no intention to be derogatory; I am simply stating a fact.

Hearing those four words, "You're too weak," Huo Gua felt a sudden surge of powerlessness.

That's right, he's just too weak.

If he hadn't been so weak, how could he have been so easily manipulated by that mysterious person in the Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley? He was even killed countless times; the torment of dying and being reborn repeatedly is something that most people couldn't endure.

If he weren't so weak, how could he have stood by and watched Qiu'er and Dong'er kill each other without being able to do anything? In the end, he had to pray to that mysterious person to revive Dong'er, but Dong'er still couldn't wake up.

So Zhou Huan was right; he was too weak.

While Huo Gua silent, Zhou Huan continued, "Having experienced everything in the Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, you naturally understand better than I what kind of powerful beings we are facing. Let alone you now, even Xuan Zi, a Level 98 Super Douluo, couldn't resist the power within the Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, could not."

Huo Gua remained silent for a moment, then heard Zhou Huan say, "If I were you, I would learn every means possible and master every power I could. Only when you are strong can you have the right to choose."

"Otherwise, the incident at Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley is just the beginning. If something like this happens once, it will happen again and again. Never entrust your fate to someone else unless you want to be a dog driven around by others for the rest of your life."

Zhou Huan's words struck a chord with Huo Gua's already chaotic state of mind.

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhou Huan's last half-sentence, Huo Gua understood everything that came before.

Power is everything.

Even Electrolux was inside Huo Gua's Sea of Consciousness, looked at Zhou Huan with surprise. This legendary Archmage actually agreed with what Zhou Huan had just said.

However, with Electrolux's rich life experience, it was easy for him to see that Zhou Huan was obviously trying to provoke Yu Hao's emotions, or even wanted Yu Hao to deal with the mysterious being in Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley.

It's important to know that at that time, Electrolux was in Huo Gua's Sea of Consciousness, and he could fully sense the power of that mysterious being.

Therefore, at that time, he had no way to resist and could only watch his Disciple go through those pains and torments little by little.

In fact, Electrolux had no doubt that if he had dared to even think of helping Huo Yuhao, he would have been completely wiped out by that mysterious being.

Therefore, when they were in the Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, Electrolux did not make a move, especially since he realized that the mysterious being did not really want to kill Huo Yuhao, but only wanted to torture him.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

Electrolux has lived for so long and traversed world dimensions, couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle.

Moreover, he couldn't allow his Disciple to suffer a complete mental breakdown afterward and lose their fighting spirit.

Therefore, Electrolux's only option at that time was to temporarily endure.

But that doesn't mean Electrolux isn't hot-tempered. Back in the day, were his titles of "Scourge of the Undead" and "Holy Necromancer" given for nothing?

Therefore, even though Electrolux now sees through Zhou Huan's possible motives, he doesn't say anything to Huo Yuhao.

He was deeply moved by Zhou Huan's saying, "Learn all the means that can be learned, and master all the power that can be mastered."

Electrolux had always known that although Huo Yuhao had become his Disciple, he still subconsciously resisted Necromancy. Therefore, he only learned some superficial things and did not touch the core of Necromancy at all.

But now, thanks to Zhou Huan's suggestion, there seems to be an opportunity.

And so, without the two exchanging a single word, and even with Electrolux believing that Zhou Huan hadn't noticed him, a "tacit understanding" was reached that would allow Huo Gua to truly learn Necromancy.

At that moment, Huo Gua was silently pondering Zhou Huan's words.

Zhou Huan didn't disturb him; there were some things Huo Gua needed to figure out for himself.

Zhou Huan felt he had already given Huo Gua enough reminders. With the Archmage Electrolux, if Huo Gua still couldn't escape his fate of being a dog, then there was nothing he could do.

Of course, Zhou Huan didn't really care about Huo Gua's future. Right now, he was just doing something small, treating it as an experiment.

Besides, who knows what Huo Gua's attitude will be when Tang Wutong returns later?

After all, Tang Wutong was the most effective chain for God King Tang to restrain Huo Gua.

Therefore, that's enough for now; there's no need to say anything more.

After a full minute of silence, Huo Gua finally said, "I understand, thank you."

Zhou Huan waved his hand casually and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. I was just telling the truth. This world is all about the strong ruling."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua thought for a moment and then asked, "When will I be able to find out the truth about Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley?"

However, Zhou Huan didn't answer but instead asked, "Then when will you be able to deal with the existence of Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley?"

Upon hearing Huo Gua's eyes. At this moment, he hated the mysterious being of Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley to the extreme, and thus replied, "One day, I will make him taste the bitterness of life and death."

Zhou Huan didn't say anything. He naturally understood that it wasn't surprising for Huo Gua, who was currently in a state of grief and indignation, to have such thoughts. But when he learned that the man was Tang Wutong's father, could he still say such a thing?

I really hope Huo Gua can always maintain this mindset.

That would not only make God King Tang lose his daughter but also his army, which would be quite interesting.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huan suddenly felt a bit of the pleasure of eating an iced melon in June.

Then, he heard Huo Gua suddenly change the subject completely. "Zhou Huan, how do you think my strength compares to yours?"

Zhou Huan was speechless.

Are you as good as me?

Is that even comparable?

I'm afraid I could slap you to death.

But how could the usually low-key Zhou Huan utter such Long Aotian words? So he replied with a sincere face, "I'm just a Soul King of level fifty-something. I probably can't even match your Soul Power Level now. We both have Extreme Ice, so our strength isn't that different."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua's lips twitched, and after a long pause, he said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you today, goodbye."

Zhou Huan smiled politely and said, "It's nothing, please go ahead, class monitor."

Immediately, Huo Gua turned and left.

As soon as Huo Gua stepped out of Zhou Huan's dormitory building, his Sea of Consciousness became lively.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said with lingering fear, "Yu Hao, your classmate is too terrifying. That one glance from him almost saw through your Sea of Consciousness. If Elder Yi hadn't intervened in time, we would have all been exposed. You should avoid contact with him in the future. I think it's better for you to deal with Xuan Zi than with him; at least Xuan Zi won't pry into your Sea of Consciousness."

Huo Gua replied somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, Brother Sky Dream, I was careless this time."

Ice Empress suddenly said, "We can't reduce contact. Zhou Huan's strength is definitely related to the Snow Empress. If we can find out about the Snow Empress..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm interrupted her, "So what if we find out about the Snow Empress? Does she think she'll help us? Or do you think Snow Empress 'Yu Hao Soul Spirit? That's just courting death."

Ice Empress: "You--!"

This time Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't lick Ice Empress's lips as usual. "I'm stating the facts. Is Snow Empress more important than the safety of all of us?"

However, Ice Empress wasn't exactly known for its good temper either. "Hasn't the matter of the Soul Spirit already been reported to the Sea God Pavilion? The Titan Snow Demon King has already revealed himself, so what if we've been exposed?"

Uncharacteristically, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared, "Soul Spirit is Soul Spirit, we are us, and Elder Yi's existence is not something we can easily expose!"

Ice Empress: "..."

At this point, Huo Gua couldn't let the two argue any longer. "Brother Sky Dream, this time it was my fault, it has nothing to do with Ice Empress, I promise it won't happen again; and Ice Empress, don't worry, I won't forget about Snow Empress, but Zhou Huan obviously won't tell me anything now, we can only find another opportunity later."

To be honest, Huo Gua was also quite frustrated. Every time he came to see Zhou Huan, he felt like Zhou Huan said something, but it was also like he didn't say anything at all. In any case, Zhou Huan never gave him a direct answer to any of his questions.

But Zhou Huan's words today made him finally make a decision that he had been struggling with for a long time.

Or perhaps Zhou Huan merely played a guiding role; the main reason was that the events at Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley stirred up his resentment.

Then, Huo Gua said earnestly, "Teacher, from today onwards, I will learn true Necromancy."

Upon hearing this, Electrolux smiled slightly on his aged face, "Alright."
