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

Asking someone for guidance and then smoking them in the face—this wasn't appropriate.

Use Mental Power to control ten brushes and end this quickly.

Huo Yuhao returned and clasped his fist toward Mu En.

"Old sir, you're very strong. Could I trouble you to help me test a Self-Created Soul Skill?"

Mu En opened one eye and glanced at the vibrant Huo Yuhao.

He said leisurely, "The younger generation is truly formidable. This old man will play along with you."

"Thank you, old sir. Here it comes."

Huo Yuhao gave him a warning.

First Soul Skill—Spirit Sharing!

He forcibly linked their minds, then crammed all the "strange books" Zhuge Lan had created with 1 Luck Value straight into Mu En's head!

Even Mu En, with all his experience and knowledge, was stunned.

Because—

"Complete Guide to Postpartum Care for Sows"!

"Three Hundred Million Cold Jokes"!

"Record of Awkward Moments"!

"One Hundred Thousand Love Letter Questions"!

"Brokeback Mountain"!

They covered every imaginable bizarre angle, with madness as their defining feature!

Even Mu En, a level 99 limit Douluo, was left dumbfounded.

It took him more than a second to recover before he looked at Huo Yuhao with an odd expression.

—Don't underestimate that one second!

For a limit Douluo, it was enough time to kill several Titled Douluo.

"These... points of knowledge, are they all from that Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect of yours?" Mu En asked strangely.

"Yeah, that's right." Huo Yuhao nodded stiffly.

In his spiritual world, he was already screaming madly, Brother Lan, are you trying to socially kill me?!

What kind of strange books are these?!

"If they aren't strange enough, how can they secure victory?" Zhuge Lan retorted.

That left Huo Yuhao speechless.

The old man and the youth faced each other in silence for a long while.

In the end, Mu En managed to squeeze out a sentence. "Your sect truly does things unconventionally."

Huo Yuhao's toes curled in embarrassment. He wanted to run away so badly.

Brothers! Votes! Reviews! Interactions, please!

If this keeps being a solo act, I won't have any motivation left!

Huo Yuhao's Self-Created Soul Skill! Mu En Wants a Disciple? ### "Although the method is a little strange, this move is very effective."

Mu En evaluated it—

"Even with preparations, this old man was still stunned for a second."

"If it catches someone by surprise, hard-controlling them for around three seconds won't be a problem."

"Moreover, with such an enormous amount of information, Soul Masters below level 35 without a spiritual attribute will basically be dazed for a while. Even if they can endure it, their reactions will still be several beats slower."

"So don't feel burdened by it. Whether the cat is black or white, a cat that catches mice is a good cat."

"This is a fine control-type Self-Created Soul Skill."

"Have you named it?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"I came up with it on the spot. How about you help name it, old sir?"

"Then call it Soul-Stirring Confusion." Mu En chuckled. "I also have a Self-Created Soul Skill quite similar to yours. Would you like to try it?"

This was—

He wanted to teach him a secret technique!

Huo Yuhao's first reaction was to refuse.

"Old sir, I haven't done anything to deserve such a reward. How could I rashly learn your Self-Created Soul Skill?"

"That's simple. Just become my disciple." Mu En revealed his fox tail. "So long as it doesn't conflict with your Sacred Fire Cult."

A Titled Douluo wanted to take him as a disciple?

Huo Yuhao couldn't help hesitating. What had the other man taken a liking to in him?

"Agree to it," Zhuge Lan said. "This man is a level 99 limit Douluo, Shrek Academy's strongest figure in a thousand years, and one of the strongest people alive. Though he is already in his twilight years, short-lived powerhouses are even more terrifying."

"Holy shit!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly. "Little Yuhao! Hurry up and agree!"

"But... what does he want from me?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

"Idiot! Of course he values your talent!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm scolded. "Just agree first!"

"Brother Lan, is it really like Brother Sky Dream says?" Huo Yuhao still had doubts.

"There is also an exchange of interests, as well as a desire to compensate you."

Zhuge Lan explained—

"First, he intends to befriend the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect, or rather, the people behind you—us."

"Second, you cultivated the Yi Jin Jing right under his nose, and he inadvertently saw it. Taking you as a disciple would protect you if the Sacred Fire Cult holds you accountable for leaking the technique, making them wary of taking action."

"Of course, as a limit Douluo, he has many ways to compensate you. His willingness to take you as a disciple naturally means he values you as a person."

The analysis was extremely thorough, allowing Huo Yuhao to make up his mind.

He dropped to both knees before Mu En and took out the White Tiger Dagger.

"My name is Huo Yuhao. My mother was Huo Yun'er, the personal maid of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire. After one drunken encounter with the White Tiger Duke, she became pregnant with me."

"But after he left behind this White Tiger Dagger, he never asked about us again. He may not even know I exist, and he showed no concern for either my mother or me."

"The Duchess often mistreated my mother and me. My mother still had to wash clothes to support me. Even so, I was malnourished, while my mother was worked to death a little over a month ago!"

As Huo Yuhao spoke, red light flickered in his eyes with hatred.

"Fortunately, I obtained my current Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, met Brother Lan and received cultivation techniques from him, and entered Shrek through Sister Ya and Brother Beibei's recommendation. That is how I have achieved what I have today!"

"But my mother's death must be avenged!"

"The Duchess who abused my mother, as well as all those accomplices—I will make them pay the price!"

"Old sir, are you still willing to take me as your disciple?"

His words were exceptionally sincere.

He laid everything before Mu En, except for Zhuge Lan and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Yet through Mental Power, Zhuge Lan saw clearly that Mu En's gaze had settled on the White Tiger Dagger, his eyes filled with contemplation.

What normal person would leave behind a dagger as a token of love after the fact, then never ask about it again?

Could it be...

Then Mu En gave a soft laugh.

"The White Tiger Duke, huh? What impressive authority."

He rose from his reclining chair and floated in the air without a ripple of Soul Power. A massive white dragon soared into the sky, standing proudly above Shrek Academy and gazing down upon all living things, making every creature in Shrek City look up in awe.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

One enormous Soul Ring after another appeared.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!!!

Nine!

The fourth was a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring!!

The seventh, eighth, and ninth were all 100,000-year Soul Rings!!!

Huo Yuhao stared with his mouth hanging open. He could not connect this earth-shaking sight with the old man who had been dozing in a reclining chair.

Then Mu En's majestic voice rang throughout heaven and earth—

"I, Mu En, take Huo Yuhao as my final disciple today. Let this be known to all: should anyone dare bully him, this old man will personally pay them a visit!"

Just one short sentence gave Huo Yuhao boundless confidence.

—Go do whatever you want, kid. If anything happens, this old man will cover for you!

Such unreasonable favoritism.

Huo Yuhao had only felt it from Huo Yun'er, Zhuge Lan, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Mu En was the fourth.

Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. He knelt and kowtowed three times.

"This disciple, Huo Yuhao, greets Master!"

Rewrite Huo Yuhao's Destiny, +500,000 Luck Value!

Huo Yuhao's pupils trembled!

So much?!

As expected of one of the strongest people alive—the value was undeniable!

Mu En nodded in satisfaction.

The next moment, the overwhelming aura vanished. He descended and helped Huo Yuhao up, then pressed a finger against his brow.

A stream of Mental Power entered him, carrying the information of a Self-Created Soul Skill.

Dragon Might Deterrence!

—Fuse one's Soul Power and Mental Power, simulate dragon might, and release it like a Soul Skill to suppress an enemy's will!

And this was merely a "prerequisite Soul Skill." Only after mastering it could one learn the subsequent techniques.

But Huo Yuhao thought—

Mental Power was far more advanced than this thing!

With only a little understanding, he grasped it completely.

Mental Power surged forth through Dragon Might Deterrence, and an oppressive aura enveloped an area dozens of meters wide.

Rewrite Destiny, +100 Luck Value!

Mu En, who had just withdrawn his hand, looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise.

He had still underestimated this little fellow's talent!

Today, he wanted to see just how monstrous Huo Yuhao truly was.

He raised a finger again and pointed, imparting another Self-Created Soul Skill.

Eight Desolations Dragon's Roar!

—Materialize fused Soul Power and Mental Power into eight dragon phantoms that circle the body. They can serve as passive defense or be actively unleashed to attack enemies!

Huo Yuhao blinked.
