He Caitou's True Identity Exposed

Bao Liang grabbed He Caitou by the neck, lifting him into the air. The latter's face turned as red as a pig's liver, his eyes bulged so much they were about to pop out of their sockets, his tongue was sticking out, and he was having great difficulty breathing. His legs kicked wildly as if they were spinning wheels, his Soul Tool clattered to the ground, and he couldn't even use his Martial Soul. His meridians were firmly sealed by Bao Liang's Soul Power, and he could only struggle in vain like a dying fish.

"Foul?"

Bao Liang raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Huang Jinxu, whose face was ashen, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"Your Honor, you just said that I'm forbidden from taking action until I'm attacked or until only three of my teammates remain."

"This guy He Caitou... oh no, Xu He, is currently assembling Soul Tool Turret. His target is clearly one of our team members. In fact, the Soul Power fluctuations just now locked onto my position. This is legitimate self-defense, don't you think?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Bei Bei's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He had been watching He Caitou's assembly process the whole time, so how could he not know that He Caitou hadn't even aimed at Bao Liang?

"He Caitou wasn't even aiming at you! You're slandering me!"

Bao Liang shrugged, his smile fading slightly, replaced by a nonchalant malice.

Are all of you Shrek students out of your minds?

"He wasn't aiming at me, so I just walked into his attack range, right? The referee only restricted me from attacking first, but he didn't say I couldn't move around freely."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The entire Shrek team fell silent, even Ma Xiaotao froze in place, forgetting to attack.

In Huang Jinxu's little head, the thread representing logic snapped in two with a "snap".

Xu Jiawei, standing in the stands, spat out a mouthful of tea, and the eunuch behind him hurriedly wiped his clothes.

Holy crap? You can do that?!

If someone doesn't attack you, but you deliberately walk right into their line of fire, then stage an accident and report them for wanting to be attacked?

Holy crap, you're a real dog!

Huang Jinxu's mouth twitched, veins throbbed on his forehead, and his temples throbbed.

He did mention that rule, but that was because of Xu Sanshi's situation; Xu Jiawei was forced to compromise under pressure from Shrek.

After all, although Xuan Zi was not present, Xuan Zi erratic thought process was known throughout the entire continent. Who knew what that Immortality might do when he was drunk?

But who knew that Bao Liang, that rascal, would be so cunning, directly defining it as "the other party is attacking".

He Caitou was indeed assembling the Soul Tool Turret in preparation for an attack, Bao Liang intervened to stop him. From a programming standpoint... it really wasn't against the rules!

"You... I... sigh!" Huang Jinxu pointed at Bao Liang, speechless for a long time, and even his Titled Douluo aura dissipated somewhat.

"And..."

Bao Liang continued, his gaze sweeping over He Caitou's flushed face, his tone filled with undisguised disgust.

"As I just mentioned, this classmate He Caitou, whose real name is Xu He, is the cousin of His Majesty Xu Tianran, the former Crown Prince of my Sun Moon Empire."

"A member of the royal family of the mighty Sun Moon Empire actually went to the Shrek Academy to act as a lackey, and even helped Shrek fight against their own motherland."

"Shouldn't we clean house of such a traitor?"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

No one knew He Caitou's true identity, but now it was revealed by Bao Liang in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers, and under the guise of a "traitor." This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Shrek Academy, and even Shrek's fans began to whisper among themselves.

"You're talking nonsense! He Caitou is one of us at Shrek! He's not a traitor!" Bei Bei roared, her voice cracking.

"Furthermore, your Sun Moon Empire has never had Twin Martial Souls! Everyone on the continent knows this! You're just spouting nonsense!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Bao Liang sneered, tightening his grip on He Caitou's neck slightly. The Ultimate Flame surged through his palm into He Caitou's body, rampaging through his meridians like a Fire Dragon, forcing his hidden Second Martial Soul to manifest.

"Then explain yourself: what's going on with Sun Moon Inherited Martial Soul within him?"

At first, He Caitou tried to resist.

He could clearly feel the extremely yang and powerful Soul Power raging within his body, causing him to convulse in pain. He knew that if his Second Martial Soul was exposed today, he would be doomed and would be captured and taken back to the Sun Moon Empire to be executed.

But with his current strength, he's no match for Bao Liang, not even as strong as a kitten. Bao Liang to reveal his Martial Soul.

The moment that tiny, golden Sun appeared in He Caitou's left palm, everyone present was utterly shocked.

Even Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, who was in the stands, suddenly stood up, his dragon crown tilting to one side.

The instant the aura of the Sun Martial Soul appeared, the auras of several Titled Douluo also rose simultaneously.

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, who had been secretly protecting Bao Liang, suddenly surged in power and hovered above the Sun Moon Team's rest area.

On the other side, a terrifying pressure also erupted from Shrek Academy. It was none other than the long-unseen Taotie Douluo Xuanzi. He had been dozing off against a tree outside the square, but now he was mostly sober, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

But even more outraged than the Titled Douluo were the spectators in the stands. Those who had initially supported Shrek Academy instantly lost their composure, and a chorus of questions arose:

"The Sun Moon Empire's inherited Martial Soul! That's the Sun Moon's inherited Martial Soul, the Sun!"

"How can there be people with the Sun Moon in Shrek?!"

"Wait a minute! Do you guys remember what the Shrek captain's Martial Soul was in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament?"

"I remember I went to see it that year too! I think it was... the Moon? Yes! The Moon! The Moon, the second inherited Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Empire!"

"Are you kidding me! How could Shrek have two members of the Sun Moon Imperial Family? And one male and one female at that! What are they trying to do? Create a state within a state?"

Hearing the voices from the audience that had initially supported Shrek turn into voices of doubt, Bei Bei was completely speechless.

He Caitou's identity is indeed sensitive, and this applies not only to He Caitou but also to Lexuan, the previous captain of Shrek.

This is something Shrek has always been reluctant to make public.

Moreover, as the great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, he knew as much as some of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. He already knew that He Caitou was a Sun Moon Man, and he also knew that he had twin martial souls.

But he didn't expect that He Caitou's Second Martial Soul would be, by Immortality luck, Sun Martial Soul, and that Bao Liang could sense it and even force it out in public.

Damn it! How is this possible!

Shrek is taking in orphans of the Empire, and even royal orphans. If this isn't handled properly, Shrek will truly become the target of public criticism!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi, who had been intoxicated, instantly regained his senses and subconsciously released the pressure of his Level 98 Titled Douluo, forcefully pressing down on the audience, his voice booming like a bell.

"How dare you! We, the Shrek Academy, are upright and honorable; how could we be such despicable people?"

"Moreover, once you join Shrek, you become a student of Shrek. Shrek has no national boundaries; it only has students who come to learn!"

His brain, which had been ruined by years of alcoholism, finally became a little more agile. He managed to portray his scheme of collecting the orphans of foreign royal families as a genuine pursuit of education, without batting an eye. If one didn't know the inside story, they might actually have believed him.

But clearly, some people don't want Xuan Zi to shut everyone up like this.

Jing Hongchen sneered, releasing the pressure of a level Level 95 Titled Douluo, which directly shattered Xuan Zi's pressure. His voice was filled with undisguised mockery.

"Xuan Zi, why are you in such a hurry to silence them?"

"Or do you Shrek members really have some ulterior motives? If you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of the audience saying?"

"Jing Hongchen, don't you dare spout such nonsense! We Shrek Academy students are pure and innocent; how could you sinful Sun Moon Empire people possibly understand us!"

Xuan Zi's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, the effects of the alcohol were kicking in again, and he was even stammering.

"Oh? Is that so?" Jing Hongchen smiled instead of being in a hurry, her gaze sweeping across the entire room, her voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Then explain to me why I, the former Sun Moon Prince Xu He, am at Shrek?"

"And someone in the audience said that Shrek has a female Soul Master who possesses the Moon, another inherited Martial Soul of my Sun Moon and Moon Sect, and she was also the captain of Shrek in the previous tournament!"

"Tell me the hell! What the hell does Shrek mean by this? What the hell are you trying to do?! Have you been planning to annex my Sun Moon Empire all along, using their royal status to launch a coordinated attack from within?!"

As soon as Jing Hongchen finished speaking, Xuan Zi's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gasped for breath. He pointed at Jing Hongchen and stammered "you, you, you" for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Can he say anything? He can't say a word!

That guy, He Caitou, was brought back by Fan Yu. He was drunk at the time and didn't care about him at all.

As for Zhang Lexuan, who possesses the Moon Martial Soul, she was brought back by Mu En, and he knew nothing of the inside story.

How the hell am I supposed to know how those two got here?

You, Jing Hongchen, are grabbing a guy like me who only knows how to drink and eat meat all day and asking me what the hell? Have I ever fucking managed Shrek?

Blanch!
