Douluo's Peerless: Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Huo Yuhao and the other two had long since fled outside the dormitory. Xu Sanshi wore a heartbroken expression.

My little nest!

It was ruined just like that!

Ignoring the bitter-looking Xu Sanshi, Ma Xiaotao excitedly rushed toward Huo Yuhao.

He raised a hand to stop her, pointing at the black flames around her.

"Sister Xiao Tao, your clothes have long since burned away. Once those flames stop..."

Ma Xiaotao's expression changed drastically!

She spun around and rushed back into the dormitory, shutting the door and fussing around inside for a while.

The Evil Fire around her had already dissipated. She changed into a new dress and walked out.

Her face brimming with excitement, she said—

"Little Yuhao, this Yi Jin Jing can really suppress the emergence of Evil Fire!"

"It's just a pity that the Evil Fire accumulated before is still like a stubborn plaster. There's no way to shake it in the slightest."

"Little Yuhao, do you have a solution?"

As she spoke, she tried to step forward and grab his hand, but Huo Yuhao subtly avoided her and gestured with his eyes toward the many people around them.

Pulling and tugging like that would not be good for Ma Xiaotao's reputation.

"What's there to fear from a bunch of outer courtyard students?" Ma Xiaotao shouted domineeringly. "Starting today, Huo Yuhao is under my protection! Whoever dares touch him can have a word with my fists!"

The aura of a six-ring Soul Emperor burst forth, making the onlookers feel enormous pressure.

They scattered like birds and beasts, no longer daring to watch.

"Ahem!" Huo Yuhao corrected, "Sister Xiao Tao, you're now a member of my Sacred Fire Cult. Like me, you're an apprentice cultist."

"Oh?" Ma Xiaotao asked with interest. "Does our Sacred Fire Cult have any other members in Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. After asking Zhuge Lan internally—

"I don't know either," Huo Yuhao replied. "I was recruited into the Sacred Fire Cult by a deacon. You can ask him about the specifics later."

"Where is that deacon? Shall we go find him now?" Ma Xiaotao asked anxiously. "This Yi Jin Jing should be incomplete, or perhaps there's a follow-up cultivation method, right?"

Huo Yuhao was rather surprised.

Ma Xiaotao had actually figured that out at once?

"That's right. This is only the first stage. The complete Yi Jin Jing has seven stages in total."

Flames practically lit up in Ma Xiaotao's eyes!

Seven stages!!!

As long as she could learn the complete Yi Jin Jing, she would definitely be able to purge this Evil Fire!

But unfortunately—

"I don't know where the deacon is either," Huo Yuhao said regretfully. "After recruiting me, he said he would come find me when the time came and told me to cultivate diligently."

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Damn it!

The hope of liberation had been right in front of her, only for the trail to go cold?

All she could do was say unwillingly, "If the deacon appears, Little Yuhao, you must tell your sister immediately!"

"Mhm, mhm! All right!" Huo Yuhao agreed.

Ma Xiaotao gave him a few more instructions and left behind a way to contact her.

Then she flew away in a blazing hurry.

Now that she could finally cultivate without restraint, she wished she could enter seclusion until graduation!

With that fiend gone—

Xu Sanshi finally dared to sob and howl, "My little nest! Wuwuwu—"

Beibei sighed along with him.

They could not beat her, nor could they reason with her.

What else could they do?

Just endure it.

Even so—

He did not forget to comfort Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, don't mind it. Sister Xiao Tao is just like that, always rushing about in a blaze of energy."

"The dormitory burned down, but the academy will come deal with it later."

"The dean of Spirit Hall Academy, Yan Shaozhe, is Sister Xiao Tao's teacher, so we definitely won't be treated unfairly."

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.

It seemed he had found himself a massive backer?

His gaze flicked toward Xu Sanshi as he considered whether to pull him in as well.

But this senior was crying far too miserably. The atmosphere was wrong.

He would discuss it another time.

"Then, Brother Beibei, Brother Sanshi, I'll head back first."

"Mhm, go on," Beibei replied.

"Remember to take the Mysterious Water Pills soon. The lower your level, the better their effects," Xu Sanshi reminded him through his tears.

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement and left at a brisk pace.

Only after he had disappeared from sight—

Did Xu Sanshi instantly drop his bitter expression and open his folding fan, gently fanning himself.

"Beibei, what do you think of this Sacred Fire Cult?"

"It's the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect," Beibei corrected. "Judging from Sister Xiao Tao's reaction, the first stage of the Yi Jin Jing is definitely far superior to the inner courtyard cultivation methods. It cannot be underestimated."

"Yeah." Xu Sanshi said helplessly, "It's just that the waters run too deep. I don't dare join it, considering what I have behind me as well."

Beibei smiled and looked toward the still-burning dormitory.

"This Evil Fire can't be extinguished either. The surrounding area has already been sealed off with an array, so let it burn slowly."

"What are we supposed to do tonight?" Xu Sanshi asked helplessly.

"Sit and cultivate. It should be cleaned up by tomorrow."

"That's all we can do."

By the time Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory, it was already late at night.

Unexpectedly, old Grandpa Mu En was still lying in his recliner, seemingly asleep very deeply.

Huo Yuhao did not think much of it. He took out a spare blanket from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night and draped it over the old man.

As for himself, he hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he did not return to the dormitory, afraid of disturbing his roommate's rest.

He sat cross-legged in his usual spot and took out a small porcelain bottle, pouring out three dark-blue pills the size of cherries.

Mysterious Water Pills!

He stuffed them into his mouth one after another. Though the Mysterious Water Pills looked large, they melted upon entering his mouth.

A surging medicinal power flowed through his body.

He hurriedly circulated the Yi Jin Jing, accelerating the digestion of the medicinal power, expelling impurities, and raising his soul power.

Still having some energy to spare, he asked, "How was it, Brother Lan? How much Luck Value did Sister Xiao Tao joining the Sacred Fire Cult give us?"

Zhuge Lan glanced at the system notification.

Revision.

Unified update time—18:00, haha~

Everyone, please keep following and leave lots of comments~

Chapter 13: Inciting Public Outrage! Groping Wang Dong's Chest?

Rewrote Ma Xiaotao's fate, +20,000 Luck Value!

That was unexpectedly a lot.

"About 10,000 Luck Value," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "Now we have some reserves, which gives us a sense of security."

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly in delight.

Ten thousand Luck Value!

The first stage of the Yi Jin Jing had only cost 5,000 Luck Value.

What a huge profit!

"Wonderful!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly. "We're 10% closer to awakening spiritual mind power!"

"You're happy too soon," Zhuge Lan said lazily. "Little Yuhao has already gotten started with the Yi Jin Jing. It's time for him to learn something else."

Learning something new would definitely cost Luck Value.

But this Luck Value belonged to Huo Yuhao to begin with. What could Sky Dream Ice Silkworm say?

"Besides, even if we're going to awaken spiritual mind power, shouldn't Little Yuhao awaken it first?" Zhuge Lan pressed the attack.

"Hey!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm snapped angrily. "You only know how to bully me! I'm ignoring you!"

He plunged into the ground and vanished.

Zhuge Lan chuckled softly. What a temper.

"Brother Lan, Brother Sky Dream, the three of us are one body. There's no need to be like this, right?" Huo Yuhao tried to mediate.

"Our top priority is making you stronger. You are the foundation of everything we have," Zhuge Lan analyzed. "With these 10,000 Luck Value, do you want an offensive method or a movement technique?"

"I'll listen to you, Brother Lan."

"All right. Cultivate first while I think it over."

"Okay."

Huo Yuhao devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the Mysterious Water Pills.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Lan began to ponder.

As expected, Huo Yuhao had still been assigned to Freshman Class One, under Zhou Yi.

The assessment every three months was a hurdle. If he could not clear it, he would be expelled.

Therefore, creating a powerful offensive method was the most suitable choice.

But!

Like Yu Xiaogang, Zhou Yi was full of herself and only nurtured the talented disciples she valued. As for ordinary training methods, hers were—

Running.

Wasn't that absurd?

With so many efficient training methods available, she preferred long-distance running.

There truly was no one else like her.

However, Zhuge Lan really did know of a movement technique that could improve simply through running.

And when paired with Spiritual Detection, it could produce an effect greater than one plus one.

Requirement: the Free and Unfettered Sect's lightness technique, Lingbo Weibu, from the wuxia novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"!
