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

—This Luck Value didn't have the purchasing power he'd imagined!

The cost wasn't small.

But it was worth it to establish his persona.

Sure enough.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's gaze instantly cleared, realizing that the person before him was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Huo Yuhao was under enormous pressure as well.

Three new consciousnesses had suddenly appeared inside his body, and each seemed more impressive than the last.

He didn't know whether it was luck or—

"Yuhao." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm transmitted mentally, "This is a true great god! Hurry up and make a request! Ask for a powerful body!"

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes and pondered for several seconds.

A powerful body?

Where could he possibly find one?

"I want a way to quickly strengthen my body!" Huo Yuhao tested the waters. "Whether it's a training plan or medicinal baths, as long as it can continuously strengthen my body, it'll do!"

Oh?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave Huo Yuhao a surprised look.

He had actually thought of the difference between a one-time purchase and long-term development.

He really hadn't chosen the wrong person!

After a brief thought, Zhuge Lan quickly found a target.

He activated Create permission.

Conditions: The secret, unpassed-down Yi Jin Jing from the Hong Kong comic Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, an unparalleled divine art that cultivated both inside and out and could transform the meridians, cleanse the marrow, and comprehensively improve the practitioner's physique!

Cost: 5,000,000 Luck Value!

Insufficient Luck Value. Unable to create!

Was it expensive?

Not at all.

The Yi Jin Jing from the Hong Kong comic Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was said to allow one, at its highest realm, to merge with the universe and heaven and earth!

It possessed the might to shatter stars, rupture the void, and turn the mortal world into a prehistoric hell!

Even if most of that was exaggerated, it still surpassed the martial arts world's Yi Jin Jing by several galaxies.

The price was simply too high.

Zhuge Lan adjusted the conditions and changed them to—

Chapter 2: Creating a Cultivation Method! Giving Huo Yuhao a Difficult Choice!

Conditions: Retain the previous conditions, but only create the first layer of the cultivation method!

Cost: 5,000 Luck Value!

Create?

Zhuge Lan secretly felt pleased with himself. How was he so clever that he had thought of installment payments?

In that short time, his Luck Value had risen back above 5,000.

Create!

Following his will, a tome materialized out of thin air. A line of small words was written on its cover—Yi Jin Jing · First Stage: Red Grade Futu!

He put on airs and solemnly declared—

"This secret manual is called the Yi Jin Jing. It has seven layers in total and is a cultivation method used by gods."

"This is the first stage. Once mastered, it can transform your meridians, cleanse your marrow, alter your innate constitution, make up for the deficiencies you suffered from childhood, and raise your talent to the level of Innate Full Soul Power."

"Whether you can get started will depend on your comprehension."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. He bowed and raised both hands to receive the manual.

Instead, Zhuge Lan slapped the manual onto Huo Yuhao's head. It burst into a sky full of light particles, all of which surged into the latter's brow.

"We're already in a spiritual world. Why would you need to slowly read it?" Zhuge Lan added with a snarky remark.

At the side.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm leaned closer, his eyes filled with doubt and anticipation.

"Is this Yi Jin Jing really that miraculous?"

"Time will prove it," Zhuge Lan said mysteriously.

"What if he fails? Will you say it's because Little Yuhao's talent isn't good enough?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in return.

"The person I chose can't have such poor comprehension." Zhuge Lan said arrogantly, "Even if he truly can't comprehend it, I can pay a small price to grant him enlightenment."

—Creation wasn't limited to objects. Comprehending cultivation methods, increasing Soul Ring age, tailoring Self-Created Soul Skills—there was nothing it couldn't do.

Seeing Zhuge Lan so confident, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately put on a flattering smile.

"Then can I cultivate this Yi Jin Jing?"

Without hesitation, Zhuge Lan directly shook his head.

"Why not?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face fell. "Is my talent not good enough?"

"What, can your soul cultivate abs?" Zhuge Lan rolled his eyes. "Little Yuhao already said he wanted to strengthen his body. Why are you joining the fun?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm awkwardly scratched his chin with his abdominal legs and gave a foolish chuckle.

"However."

Zhuge Lan changed the subject—

"Once we've accumulated more Luck Value, we can have Little Yuhao exchange it for a secret manual that cultivates spiritual power and soul power for us to practice."

"Something like a Ghost Cultivation method could allow a soul body to move about in the world without being nourished by a physical body."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs!

He coiled around Zhuge Lan with a Bind, staring at him eagerly.

"What is Luck Value?"

"What is Ghost Cultivation?"

"Can we really move about freely?"

Zhuge Lan pushed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm away in disgust.

"I don't like repeating myself. You'll understand in the future."

Zhuge Lan paused, and he and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm both looked toward the sky—more accurately, beyond the spiritual world.

"Little Yuhao has encountered trouble in the real world. He needs to leave immediately." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm frowned. "But he's currently comprehending the cultivation method, this—"

"Just interrupt him." Zhuge Lan said casually. "It's only a state of comprehension. It doesn't even count as enlightenment. He can have it whenever he wants."

With a wave of his hand.

-1 Luck Value

He yanked Huo Yuhao out of his state of comprehension and kicked him from the spiritual world back into his body.

"Xiao Ya, protect Yuhao!"

After a sharp shout, the light before his eyes dimmed.

A beautiful figure was standing in front of him.

Huo Yuhao had a good memory.

He immediately recognized Tang Ya, whom he had run into earlier and who had devoured three of his grilled fish.

In the distance, Beibei, who had been traveling with her, was fighting a Soul Beast. Lightning flickered across his body, making him look incredibly dashing.

"What, do you like lightning?" Zhuge Lan's voice sounded. "I have quite a few lightning arts here—ones for body tempering, Dao cultivation, and talisman cultivation. As long as you work hard to earn Luck Value, you'll have them all."

Huo Yuhao jumped in fright!

He stood up and carefully observed Tang Ya. She was only watching Beibei's battle while remaining alert to their surroundings.

Instead, she hadn't noticed behind her.

If that sort of "oversight" encountered a villain, she would definitely suffer a great loss.

But to Huo Yuhao, who had only ever received affection from his mother since childhood, that trust was something he gladly accepted.

He suppressed the stirring in his heart and softly said, "Brother Lan?"

"You don't need to speak. Just think about talking to me in your mind," Zhuge Lan instructed.

"Little Yuhao, try out your First Soul Skill. They don't have much combat power, but their support abilities are first-rate!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm joined the conversation.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

He summoned his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, and exquisite patterns appeared on his forehead.

A million-year platinum First Soul Ring appeared, looking at first glance much like a white ten-year Soul Ring.

This movement finally caught Tang Ya's attention. Seeing Huo Yuhao release his Martial Soul and activate his Soul Ring, her first reaction was unexpectedly not vigilance.

"You're awake?" Tang Ya said happily. "Wait a moment. Beibei is helping me obtain my third Soul Ring. We'll watch over—"

Before she could finish.

Huo Yuhao had already activated two Soul Skills in succession—

First Soul Skill · Spiritual Detection!

First Soul Skill · Spirit Sharing!

The next moment.

Beibei and Tang Ya's bodies both trembled, their eyes filled with shock.

Within their minds.

Everything within a thirty-meter radius appeared in perfect detail without needing to be seen with their eyes, and even time itself seemed to have slowed.

Beibei stared at the Mandala Snake, and its distance, speed, even the changes in every muscle on its body automatically surfaced in his mind!

Although Spiritual Detection had already given him an image, he still couldn't help turning back to look at Huo Yuhao, his gaze lingering on the "white Soul Ring" beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

At the same time, his body continued fighting, dodging the Mandala Snake's lunges, bites, tail swipes, and constrictions by the narrowest margins with several movements!

Could a ten-year Soul Skill have such an effect?

His heart immediately settled.

A deep boom suddenly erupted from within Beibei's body, and intense blue-violet lightning crackled around him.

He was about to unleash his ultimate move!

While the battle was raging on his side, Huo Yuhao's side was casually chatting.

"Brother Sky Dream! This Soul Skill is way too powerful!"

"Of course! Just who do you think I am?"

"I've only comprehended half of Brother Lan's Yi Jin Jing, but I can already sense its profundity. It's definitely no ordinary item!" Huo Yuhao distributed his praise evenly.

"You brat, you really know how to keep things balanced." Zhuge Lan teased. "Then I'll give you a difficult choice to fret over. The Martial Soul of the Tang Ya before you is Blue Silver Grass. The paths most suitable for her are devouring, darkness, and life. In any case, this Mandala Snake isn't suitable for her. Even choosing a poisonous Plant Soul Beast would be better than this."

Huo Yuhao's expression froze!

Huh?

He didn't doubt Zhuge Lan's words.

But after she had worked so hard to hunt a thousand-year Soul Ring, was he, a passerby being protected by her, supposed to jump out and tell her that this Soul Ring wasn't suitable?
