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

"Got it."

After bidding Zhou Yi farewell.

Huo Yuhao turned and headed toward the dormitory, still struggling inwardly in his mental world.

"Brother Lan, Brother Sky Dream—"

"Hold it in." Zhuge Lan cut him off. "Do you know how much Luck Value it takes for me to materialize a 50,000-Year Soul Bone?"

"A hundred thousand?" Huo Yuhao guessed boldly.

"Fifty thousand Luck Value." Zhuge Lan spread his palm. "One Luck Value represents one year of cultivation, and it can create Soul Bones and Soul Rings equally. So just absorb that Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull. If that Yan Shaozhe really dares demand it back, we'll just return a new one to him."

Huo Yuhao's mouth fell open.

Huh?

That little?

He and Zhuge Lan had spent two hundred thousand Luck Value awakening their spiritual telekinesis one after another.

Didn't that mean—

"Little Yuhao, you don't think fifty thousand Luck Value is a small amount, do you?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked with a sidelong glance. "The Yi Jin Jing that changed both your and Ma Xiaotao's fates was only worth five thousand Luck Value."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples.

Right!

The first stage of the Yi Jin Jing had only cost five thousand Luck Value.

His current balance was barely over two thousand Luck Value.

What gave him the impression that fifty thousand Luck Value was easy to come by?

The recent influx of huge amounts of Luck Value had made him complacent.

"I understand." Huo Yuhao nodded seriously.

He withdrew from his mental world, activated Spiritual Detection, and hurried toward the dormitory.

"Don't stupidly spread your spiritual power out evenly." Zhuge Lan instructed him. "Spiritual telekinesis comes with scanning capabilities to begin with, and paired with a Soul Skill, it becomes even stronger. Narrow it into a fan-shaped scan or a single line. That will increase both its range and intensity in a straight direction."

Huo Yuhao obediently did as he was told.

Once he focused it, he discovered that his detection radius instantly expanded tenfold, soaring past two hundred meters.

"Eh?"

Wow! Is no one reading this? Am I writing for myself? Why are there so few investors?

Boohoo—

Exaggerated Numbers! Setting Out on the Invincible Path?

He had instinctively focused on the old man in front of the dormitory and was shocked to discover that the man's spiritual power was as vast as an ocean!

This old man's identity isn't simple!

Changed Huo Yuhao and Mu En's fates, +5000 Luck Value!

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.

Simply discovering the man's identity was worth as much as the first stage of the Yi Jin Jing?

Mu En had also immediately noticed Huo Yuhao's probing.

But he did not care.

He merely rolled over and continued hibernating, still covered by the quilt Huo Yuhao had given him.

He looked thoroughly content.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not go over to disturb him and flew straight toward his dormitory.

Wang Dong's spiritual power was inside.

This time, he had learned his lesson and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Me."

"Wait a moment!"

There was a rustling sound inside. Then the dormitory door opened, and water droplets still clung to the blue-pink gradient tips of Wang Dong's hair.

She looked unexpectedly pretty.

Huo Yuhao abruptly shook his head. She was his roommate—what was he thinking?!

He raised a hand to stop Wang Dong, who was about to rush off to class, and repeated Zhou Yi's words.

"What?" Wang Dong asked in surprise. "Ma Xiaotao gave you one?"

She vigilantly looked around, then pulled Huo Yuhao back into the dormitory.

"A 50,000-Year Head Soul Bone? Ma Xiaotao was that generous?"

"I helped Sister Xiao Tao temporarily solve her cultivation problem, so this is her payment." Huo Yuhao explained, "You probably sensed it yesterday too. I have a cultivation technique. The Sacred Fire Cult's Yi Jin Jing."

He roughly explained everything that had happened.

Huo Yuhao invited her, "Wang Dong, your Clear Sky Sect should have cultivation techniques too, but after comparing them yesterday, they weren't as good as the Sacred Fire Cult's Yi Jin Jing. So, do you want to become one of our followers? I can teach you the Yi Jin Jing."

Wang Dong touched her forehead. Her thoughts were racing so quickly that her brain felt overloaded.

This—

She had thought Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul mutating and evolving repeatedly was already an enormous opportunity.

She had not expected there to be more!

If the Sacred Fire Cult was truly as Huo Yuhao described, giving out such an absurdly powerful cultivation technique upon joining—

How deep must its foundation be?

And as the Young Sect Master of the number one sect in the world, how had she never even heard the name Sacred Fire Cult?

Wang Dong felt that something was wrong, but she could not figure out what.

So she simply stopped thinking about it.

She tactfully said, "Yuhao, you know who my two fathers are. I'm afraid I can't join the Sacred Fire Cult."

"It doesn't conflict." Huo Yuhao had long prepared for this. "The Sacred Fire Cult is loosely managed. You can join even if you belong to another sect, just like having multiple teachers. I can make the decision that if the Clear Sky Sect and Sacred Fire Cult ever come into conflict, you can freely choose which side to stand with."

Those words made Wang Dong stare deeply at Huo Yuhao.

You can make that decision?

Aren't you just an ordinary probationary follower too?

Something's fishy!

But after yesterday's frank exchange, Huo Yuhao had made such a promise.

There was no need to pry into the minor details.

"Fine. I'll join."

Changed Wang Dong's fate, +25000 Luck Value!

Huo Yuhao grinned.

Heh!

He really could not be blamed for getting carried away. Earning Luck Value felt absurdly easy.

In just this short while, he had earned half a Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull.

—Actually, it had been a whole one, but Zhuge Lan had eaten half as a "handling fee."

"Little Yuhao, don't forget the joining ceremony." Zhuge Lan suddenly reminded him.

Huo Yuhao instantly sobered up.

Again?

Did every follower who joined in the future have to go through this too?

"I already told you, it's a joining ceremony. Of course everyone has to do it." Zhuge Lan chuckled.

Huo Yuhao's shoulders immediately slumped. His future looked bleak.

"What's wrong? I agreed, and you're still unhappy?" Wang Dong asked strangely.

"It's nothing. There's just one more step." Huo Yuhao said with a deadened heart, "Anyone joining the cult must recite the oath before they can be taught the sacred manual."

Wang Dong secretly became wary. Why did that sound like an evil cult?

Were they going to brainwash her with a slogan?

Or make her swear eternal loyalty?

But after Huo Yuhao sent her a mental message and she learned the "sixteen-character mantra"—

Wang Dong fell silent.

She stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. Are you sure?

Huo Yuhao sighed and nodded. I'm sure.

Wang Dong: (￣∠￣)丿

She was sure now.

This Sacred Fire Cult was purely here for laughs. It was not evil in the slightest!

"If it's a rule, then fine."

"Sacred Fire Shining, Sacred Fire Blazing, all my disciples, meow meow meow meow!"

After shouting it, Wang Dong guiltily looked left and right. Only after realizing she was in her own dormitory did her embarrassment ease slightly.

Then she glared at Huo Yuhao. Was that enough now?

"Come on." Huo Yuhao opened his arms. "First enter the fused Soul Power state, then I'll teach you the Yi Jin Jing."

Wang Dong hesitated awkwardly before lowering her head and embracing Huo Yuhao.

The first time was unfamiliar, the second time was easier, and by the third meeting, they were old friends.

The two quickly entered the state. Huo Yuhao activated Spirit Sharing and personally taught her the Yi Jin Jing.

Wang Dong's talent was beyond doubt, and the fused Soul Power aided her as well.

After an hour, she had mastered the Yi Jin Jing.

After circulating it for another hour, a few black specks were expelled from her fair skin.

She had clearly completed the initial stage.

Huo Yuhao tapped his Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night and took out a pile of Vajra Arhat Fruits, holding them aloft with spiritual telekinesis.

He explained their effects to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong did not refuse too much and accepted them readily.

The two each took a Vajra Arhat Fruit and could clearly sense that the impurities expelled by the Yi Jin Jing were being purged faster and more thoroughly.

Huo Yuhao took out the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull and pressed it against his head.

"Then I'm going to start absorbing the Soul Bone. I'll have to trouble you to watch over me during this time."

Wang Dong seemed to think of something and averted her gaze.

"Do you need to say that? Hurry up already!"

Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly.

As the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull transformed into points of light under the pull of his Soul Power and merged into his head—

He suddenly remembered something—he seemed to have arranged to meet Sister Ya and the others for grilled fish that evening?

Before he could think further.
