"I gave you that information on Tang Chuan deliberately."
Bei Bei picked up his Green Mood and took a leisurely sip.
The look of gritted hatred he had worn earlier was gone, replaced by the satisfaction of finally getting his revenge.
"That bitch Tang Ya used me. You killed her, and it felt great!"
"Sister Lexuan is the only one in my heart now. You got rid of that disgusting woman for me. I should thank you."
Huo Yuhao set down his glass and looked Bei Bei straight in the eye.
"You still haven't told me what you mean by 'ally.'"
Bei Bei's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
"There are other transmigrators in Shrek Academy."
"And every faction—the three great empires of Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire's Illustrious Virtue Hall, even the Holy Spirit Cult—has transmigrators among its ranks."
"Tang Chuan was nowhere near as strong as those people."
"So I need help."
Bei Bei straightened and held out his hand to Huo Yuhao.
"The sharpest blade I can use to sweep every transmigrator from Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent!"
"You may not be the original Huo Yuhao, but you should know what that identity means."
"The Child of the Plane, blessed by fortune! Electrolux's disciple and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's host!"
"You have a Million-Year Soul Beast and a Holy Necromancer with you. In the future, you'll have the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and perhaps even more!"
"But that is exactly why you'll become a target. Every transmigrator will want you dead!"
"Become my ally and rise to the very top with me. I'll grant you true freedom!"
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.
Then he set down his Mojito.
"I refuse."
Bei Bei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Huo Yuhao knew there could be no allies on the road to hunting transmigrators.
It wasn't that he doubted Bei Bei's sincerity. At least the parts about the book Peerless Tang Sect and Twin Martial Souls might be true.
But believing someone's words was one thing. Placing his life in that person's hands was another.
In Huo Yuhao's mind, an alliance could end only two ways.
Either he became the other person's tool, or the other person became his.
And Bei Bei had been reading Peerless Tang Sect since he was three.
He had kept his ambitions hidden for more than a decade. He had concealed his identity as the Sea God Pavilion Holy Son so thoroughly that even Tang Chuan had been fooled.
A man that calculating was not someone Huo Yuhao could work with!
"I expected you to say that."
Bei Bei withdrew his hand. He didn't look particularly disappointed. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"But I still hope you'll think it over."
"You have a Million-Year Soul Beast, Electrolux, and all sorts of other advantages taken from transmigrators."
"But can any of that compare to the inheritances of two God King-level powerhouses?"
Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange.
The inheritances of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King—two God King-level powerhouses.
In the world of Douluo Continent, those might indeed be among the finest inheritances possible, unless another transmigrator possessed the Dragon God Martial Soul.
But a transmigrator's advantages weren't limited to the world of Douluo Continent. Some might even wield powers that governed the laws of reality.
When that time came, what would a mere God King-level inheritance be worth?
Foolish natives of Douluo Continent...
"You're right," Huo Yuhao said with a nod.
"In that case..."
Bei Bei held out his hand, palm up.
"Give me the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. I'll keep your identity secret. Consider it a trade."
Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei's outstretched hand, his thoughts racing.
He had already read and memorized Tang Chuan's copy of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. He had no use for the book itself.
Besides, all Bei Bei wanted was a legitimate claim to the title of Tang Sect Master.
With the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he could rightfully become the Tang Sect's true master.
And Huo Yuhao didn't particularly care whether Bei Bei became its master.
He took the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record he had looted from Tang Chuan out of his Storage Soul Tool and tossed it over.
Bei Bei caught it securely and flipped it open for a glance.
After confirming it was genuine, he gave a cold smile.
"Deal!"
From that day on, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei were the last two inheritors of the Tang Sect.
Yet both inheritors had the same ultimate goal: to kill Tang San.
How amusing!
Huo Yuhao lifted his Mojito, drained the last mouthful, and headed for the door.
At the doorway, he stopped.
"Bei Bei."
"Hmm?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell someone about you?"
Bei Bei smiled gently.
"You can try. With the Grand Ancestor, a Limit Douluo, protecting me, and the Sea God's Light on my side, I can kill these transmigrators one by one as they come."
Huo Yuhao said nothing more. He pushed open the door and stepped into the night.
Bei Bei's low voice followed him.
"When you've made up your mind, come find me."
Back in his dorm room at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao locked the door behind him and drew the curtains.
After making sure no one was watching, he sat cross-legged beside the bed.
He had learned too much tonight. He needed time to digest it all.
Bei Bei wasn't a transmigrator, but he was even harder to deal with than one.
As Bei Bei had said, Shrek Academy was now his territory.
Mu En, a Limit Douluo, the many Elders of Sea God's Pavilion, and Shrek City's army—
Bei Bei controlled them all.
He could even communicate with the Golden Tree and Tang San, and have Mu En summon the Sea God's Light, an attack of divine power!
In Shrek Academy, Bei Bei was effectively invincible!
And something Bei Bei had said tonight revealed another crucial fact.
There were more transmigrators on Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent.
Those like Tang Chuan and Xiao Yan were merely the most conspicuous.
The truly dangerous ones were the transmigrators hiding in the shadows, quietly building their strength.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and set those thoughts aside for now.
Then his consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Teacher."
The gray sphere of light slowly brightened, and Electrolux's aged, gentle voice sounded.
"I'm here."
"Please help me open the Undead Demiplane."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
In the next instant, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned a pale gray as Electrolux took control of his body.
He raised his right hand and swiftly traced a pattern in the air with his index finger. A gray Hexagram appeared out of nowhere.
The Hexagram settled on the floor, and gray light rose from it.
Space seemed to tear open, forming a rift that led to the Undead Demiplane.
Huo Yuhao took Tang Chuan's head, which he had prepared long ago, from his Storage Soul Tool.
Thanks to the protection of Electrolux's Necromancy, the eye remained fresh.
The intricate pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan slowly revolved under the light, as though it held boundless power.
He was going to transplant Tang Chuan's Mangekyō Sharingan and take his own powers to a new level!
