Douluo's Peerless: Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger! Chapter 19

A slightly shrill scream pierced the sky. A pair of sapphire-blue wings spread behind Wang Dong's back, and symbols formed from golden halos lit up one after another as a surge of Soul Power transformed into a fierce gust that slammed toward him.

Huo Yuhao reacted quickly and darted to the doorway. Watching the roaring wind rush past him, he was somewhat at a loss.

They were both guys. What was wrong with taking a look?

Was she insecure because it was too small?

"Why did you come in again without knocking?!" Wang Dong shouted from inside.

Huo Yuhao naturally walked into the dormitory. Wang Dong had already put on her white school uniform, her face flushed red—whether from bathing or anger, he could not tell. A bathtub stood in the middle of the room.

Seriously?

There was a bathroom for showers, yet she insisted on soaking in here?

Considering Wang Dong's "self-respect," kind-hearted Huo Yuhao decided to take responsibility.

"Sorry. I'll knock first next time."

Seeing him apologize so readily, Wang Dong only felt even more stifled.

It was a shared dormitory to begin with. There was nothing wrong with him coming back.

He had already apologized. Was she supposed to chase after him and kill him over it?

Meanwhile, within the spiritual world, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm poked its head out.

"Zhuge, Wang Dong really is a girl. Hasn't Little Yuhao noticed anything strange?"

"He was probably influenced by his first impression." Zhuge Lan chuckled. "Isn't this quite interesting? The daily cohabitation life of a pure-hearted young man and a roommate disguised as a boy. Hahaha!"

"Huh? Now that you put it that way, it is pretty exciting!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became interested.

Zhuge Lan snapped his fingers and manifested three buckets of popcorn.

He and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm each received one, while the third flew toward the gray-gold ball of light in the sky. Bucket and popcorn alike vanished into it.

"Wow!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes shone. "Spiritual power can even be made into food? Munch munch munch—this tastes good and can increase spiritual power too? I want more!"

Zhuge Lan spent another 10 Luck Value to create sunflower seeds, spicy strips, pistachios, and other snacks.

He and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm ate while watching the show.

After the brief awkwardness passed.

Wang Dong asked, "You said this afternoon that the thing that made me lose focus wasn't a Soul Skill. Then what was it? And the thing that let you talk to me mentally—was that one of your Soul Skills?"

Huo Yuhao blinked.

Uh...

He definitely could not reveal the million-year Soul Ring. It seemed he would have to use the Sacred Fire Cult explanation again.

"No, tell her." Zhuge Lan spoke up. "Wang Dong is someone you can trust, and the two of you have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You are destined to be closely connected in the future. Rather than letting her discover it later, you might as well be honest now."

Huh?

Huo Yuhao instinctively felt that was inappropriate and wanted to argue.

"Are you crazy?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shocked—

"This is a million-year Soul Ring!"

"Never mind whether she'll believe it. If it gets exposed, how many people will come after the million-year Soul Bone?"

"The key is that I have barely any origin left and can't produce a Soul Bone. Little Yuhao won't be able to hand one over, so he can only die!"

Huo Yuhao also felt that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made sense and chose to remain silent.

Zhuge Lan indicated that he understood.

He had come having read the script, so naturally he knew Wang Dong was trustworthy.

But from Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's perspective, this was undoubtedly revealing too much to someone they barely knew.

—Their relationship could not even be considered friendly. They had fought four days ago.

Therefore.

He had to reveal some information.

"It's only a million-year Soul Ring. With Wang Dong's background, as long as you present the facts, she'll believe you."

"As for coveting the million-year Soul Bone, first, given Wang Dong's character, she would never spread the matter. Second, even if someone truly dared to come for you, I can take you ten thousand miles away from anyone below god level."

"Little Yuhao, trust my judgment. Wang Dong is someone worth entrusting your life to."

With things put that way.

Neither the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nor Huo Yuhao could refuse.

Still, something felt strange—what did he mean by "entrusting your life"?

Under Zhuge Lan's forceful insistence, the two humans and one silkworm reached an agreement.

At the same time.

Zhuge Lan's spiritual telekinesis spread out and sealed off the entire dormitory.

If Mu En outside wanted to spy on them, Zhuge Lan naturally could not stop him, but he would notice.

Huo Yuhao was not one to hesitate. He directly released his Spirit Eyes, and the first Soul Ring of his platinum-white Soul Ring lit up.

"Wang Dong, how many years do you think my first Soul Ring has?"

"A ten-year white Soul Ring, obviously," Wang Dong blurted out.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, his expression solemn.

"We'll be roommates from now on, so there are many things I can't easily hide from you."

"Wang Dong, can I trust you?"

His sudden seriousness made Wang Dong become serious as well.

He had a secret!

And this roommate she had known for only four days intended to be completely honest with her?

Uh...

Did he trust people that easily?

"I've encountered some opportunities that allow me to see more information than ordinary people can," Huo Yuhao explained. "I know your identity isn't ordinary either, so I don't want to tell one lie today and then use even more lies to cover it up later."

That explanation was somewhat forced.

But what Wang Dong cared about was—"see more information than ordinary people"?

Had this guy discovered that she was a girl?

"Have you noticed anything different about me?" Wang Dong probed.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts stalled for a moment.

Shouldn't she be focusing on the secret he was about to reveal?

So she had an even bigger secret?

"This girl has Twin Martial Souls: the Light Goddess Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer," Zhuge Lan reminded him.

Huo Yuhao was startled!

The Clear Sky Hammer?

Then that meant—

Chapter 20: Oh No, It Was

"You're from the Clear Sky Sect, aren't you?" Huo Yuhao said with certainty. "Your Second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, the Clear Sky Sect's exclusive Martial Soul and once the continent's number one Tool Martial Soul."

If her Twin Martial Souls and identity had been exposed before, Wang Dong would definitely have interrogated him.

But now.

"That's it? Is that all?" Wang Dong pressed.

"What other secret do you have?" Huo Yuhao asked strangely.

Wang Dong stared into Huo Yuhao's eyes and found them rather pretty. Combined with the Martial Soul patterns of his Spirit Eyes, they possessed an enchanting affinity.

I want...

She fiercely shook her head, throwing out the strange thought.

She was certain now.

This guy's gaze was clear and foolish. He had not noticed that she was a girl.

That was good.

Then she became interested in Huo Yuhao's "white Soul Ring."

"Don't worry. I swear upon the honor of the Clear Sky Sect that today's conversation will never leave this room."

Huo Yuhao pointed a finger at his own forehead.

First Soul Skill: Spirit Sharing!

Huo Yuhao: This is my first Soul Ring's Spirit Sharing. Through spiritual power, I can share whatever I want you to know.

First Soul Skill: Spiritual Detection!

An "all-seeing perspective" appeared in her mind, revealing every object in the dormitory in minute detail.

Huo Yuhao: This is also my first Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection. It can scan things within a certain range.

Wang Dong: "???"

What the hell?

One ten-year Soul Ring, two First Soul Skills?

Wasn't that something only a 100,000-year Soul Ring could—

But her mind suddenly blurred. Huo Yuhao before her instantly jumped three meters away, yet in the Spiritual Detection, he was still standing where he had been.

Huo Yuhao: This is still my first Soul Skill, Spiritual Interference. It can make people misjudge things and cause attacks to miss.

Wang Dong: "!!!"

Three—three First Soul Skills?!

Huo Yuhao: There's also a First Soul Skill, Soul Impact. It can inflict massive spiritual damage on a target. It was the Soul Skill that left you dazed that day.

Four First Soul Skills!!!

"Impossible!"

Wang Dong shook her head—

"How can one Soul Ring possibly have four Soul Skills?"

"Even a 100,000-year Soul Ring can't do that!"

"Unless... unless..."

Her mouth hung slightly open as she recalled some amusing things her Eldest Daddy and Second Daddy had mentioned in casual conversation.

"Million—"

Wang Dong cried out, but immediately covered her mouth.

"I've sealed the room with spiritual power. The sound can't get out," Huo Yuhao said. "That's right. It's a million-year Soul Ring, which is why I have four First Soul Skills."

Even after hearing Huo Yuhao admit it herself, Wang Dong still found it unbelievable.

That was a million-year Soul Ring!

Only a Million-Year Soul Beast could produce one, yet Huo Yuhao was merely level 15.

No!

When Huo Yuhao had first enrolled, he had only been level 11!
