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

Are you kidding?

But he had just been "protected." He couldn't exactly watch her walk into the wrong path, could he?

Just as he was struggling with it.

Zhuge Lan dropped another bombshell—

"Not only that, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possesses a hidden talent for devouring life."

"It won't appear unless actively triggered, but once awakened, her Martial Soul may turn into Dark Blue Silver Grass, and she herself may fall into becoming an Evil Soul Master."

"But if she can activate this hidden talent, her Martial Soul will definitely evolve. At worst, it will become the Blue Silver King; at best, it can directly advance to the Blue Silver Emperor!"

"This is both an opportunity and a trial. Whether you tell her is up to you."

Huo Yuhao's little face immediately scrunched up like a bun.

Th-This-This.

Tang Ya Invited Him into the Tang Sect, Then Dropped Explosive Dirt!

Huo Yuhao's troubled expression made Zhuge Lan burst into laughter.

Interesting, so interesting!

"Zhuge, stop teasing Little Yuhao," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said speechlessly. "You should have a way to prevent this Dark Blue Silver Grass from causing her fall and let it awaken normally, right?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!

He urgently asked, "Brother Lan, is what Brother Sky Dream said true?"

"Tsk! Why'd you have to blab?" Zhuge Lan curled his lip. "Awakening it is easy. Removing the bloodline is troublesome and costs quite a lot of Luck Value. Little Yuhao, work hard and save enough before we talk about it."

Delighted, Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly.

"I'll work hard!"

"But Brother Lan, what is Luck Value?"

"That Mandala Snake is about to die," Zhuge Lan said leisurely. "You should first decide whether to remind her. We can talk about Luck Value later."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

At the same time.

After a round of lightning grilling from Beibei, the Mandala Snake had been beaten half to death.

Tang Ya happily jumped to her feet!

"Wow! Little Yuhao, your Soul Skill is amazing!"

"Once I absorb the Soul Ring, I'll definitely repay you!"

She pulled out a half-foot throwing knife and flicked her wrist, driving it into the Mandala Snake's eyeball and straight into its brain, ending its life.

Purple motes drifted up and condensed into a purple Soul Ring.

Tang Ya happily sat cross-legged, summoning her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul as she prepared to absorb the Soul Ring.

In the end, Huo Yuhao couldn't hold back any longer and shouted—

"Wait!"

Beibei and Tang Ya both looked over.

"What is it, Little Yuhao?" Tang Ya asked in confusion.

The instant the words left his mouth, Huo Yuhao's mind raced.

He quickly came up with an explanation.

"My Martial Soul mutated, and my first Soul Ring was also mutated, so I awakened a mutated ability that lets me see information ordinary people can't."

"Sister Ya, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't suited to absorbing this Mandala Snake. What you need is a life-attribute Plant Soul Beast."

"If you don't believe me... just treat it as nonsense."

Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance.

Surprise, doubt, contemplation—every emotion was there.

Beibei was a man with ideas. He tested him, saying, "Then, Little Yuhao, what do you think of my Martial Soul?"

He summoned his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, naturally releasing the pressure of the foremost Beast Martial Soul.

As Huo Yuhao summoned his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, he desperately called out to Zhuge Lan in his heart.

"Brother Lan! Save me! Hurry and help me take a look!"

"You made up the lie yourself, and now you want someone else to cover for you?" Zhuge Lan teased.

"Brother Lan! You can say whatever you want afterward! Please help me!" Huo Yuhao lowered his posture.

His attitude when asking for help was quite proper.

Seeing that, Zhuge Lan found it hard to keep teasing him.

Without even needing to spend Luck Value, he directly gave him a whole pile of information.

Huo Yuhao repeated it—

"Brother Beibei, your Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but your bloodline isn't stable. It normally manifests as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but you can independently trigger its evolution toward the Bright Holy Dragon, right?"

Beibei's eyes widened in shock!

He had really seen through it?

Even Tang Ya only knew the rough details of the secret that his Martial Soul could evolve on its own. She didn't understand the reason behind it.

There was no way Huo Yuhao, whom they had only met twice, could know.

Therefore—

"Little Yuhao, your mutated Martial Soul really is impressive!" Beibei sighed. "If you can see Sister Ya's Martial Soul's evolutionary path, can you see mine too?"

"Absorb Soul Rings and Soul Bones that possess or are close to the Bright Holy Dragon bloodline," Huo Yuhao answered without hesitation. "For example, a Heavenly Dragon Horse with a pure Bright Holy Dragon bloodline. If you can make it your Soul—"

His words abruptly stopped.

Soul Spirit?

What was that?

But this wasn't the time to ask. He changed his wording. "If you use it as a Soul Ring, there's a very high chance it will stabilize your Martial Soul Evolution."

Beibei suddenly slapped his palm in realization!

His first three Soul Rings had all been lightning-attributed. No wonder his Martial Soul Evolution had never stabilized.

So he had been heading in the wrong direction.

Tang Ya also stood up at this point. She reluctantly glanced at the Mandala Snake Soul Ring before decisively turning and walking over to Huo Yuhao.

At the same time.

Within the spiritual world, Zhuge Lan sensed a large influx of Luck Value.

Zhuge Lan spent 1 Luck Value to create a system notification.

Changed Tang Ya's fate, +20000 Luck Value!

Oh?

That much?

But thinking about it—

The choice of which Soul Ring to absorb had a far-reaching influence on a Martial Soul's future development and even one's combat style.

Especially since Tang Ya was a supporting female character, the current Tang Sect Master, and one of the future leaders of the Evil Soul Masters.

Interfering with her Soul Ring choice would have an enormously far-reaching impact.

20000 Luck Value was perfectly reasonable.

"Little Yuhao, do you have anyone else in your family?" Tang Ya asked.

Huo Yuhao's eyes darkened.

He firmly shook his head. "It's just me."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Tang Ya said joyfully.

Huo Yuhao: ???

Beibei tugged helplessly at the corner of his mouth and raised a hand to knock Tang Ya on the head.

"How can you say that?"

Tang Ya also realized she had misspoken, but she still glared at Beibei.

Then she stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, Little Yuhao. I was just thinking of inviting you to join my sect. Without family ties holding you back, the chances would be greater."

"A sect? You want to invite me?"

Huo Yuhao was quite surprised. They had only met twice.

Tang Ya put her hands on her hips and proudly declared—

"Our sect was once the number one sect on the continent!"

"Our sect's secret arts are also very suitable for your cultivation."

"You're all alone, and you're still so young. If you join the sect, everyone can look after one another in the future. It's better than you recklessly wandering around on your own."

"You won't be this lucky every time. What if something happens while you're acting alone?"

"Oh, right. Our sect is called—the Tang Sect!"

Huo Yuhao's body shook!

The Tang Sect!

When he had been very young, his mother had told him stories of the Tang Sect's legends.

Founded ten thousand years ago, it had a history as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. It was said that Tang San, the first Tang Sect Master, had surpassed the Titled Douluo realm, become a deity, and ascended to the God Realm!

And if the Tang Sect had not changed the continent's landscape ten thousand years ago and laid the foundation for its future development—

Then when the Sun Moon Continent collided with it over four thousand years ago, Douluo Continent might not have been able to resist and would have long since been annexed.

Sensing Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Zhuge Lan sneered.

"If that Tang San hadn't interfered, Spirit Hall would have unified the continent long ago. Even if the pope of that era had been a lunatic, there was still the Angel God, also a Rank 1 Deity, to keep her in check."

"Then there wouldn't have been the Heaven Dou Empire's later civil strife and its split into the two great empires of Heaven Soul and Dou Ling, leaving them in a three-way stalemate with the Star Luo Empire and holding one another back. Who knows how much development time that delayed."

"There wouldn't even have been any need to wait for the Sun Moon Continent to crash into it four thousand years later. The Spirit Hall Empire would have sent troops and conquered it long ago."

Huo Yuhao listened with his mouth slightly open.

Put that way, the Tang Sect had not only done no good—it had committed sins?

But—

"You don't believe it?"

Zhuge Lan countered—

"During Spirit Hall's era, every commoner could awaken a Martial Soul. Even in remote mountain regions, Soul Masters would trek across mountains to reach them."

"And every Soul Master received subsidies: 1 Gold Soul Coin per month above level 10, and 10 Gold Soul Coins above level 20."

"If you had been born in that era, your mother, as a level 17 Soul Master, wouldn't have needed to work herself to death, and you wouldn't have been malnourished."

Huo Yuhao's gaze turned distant.

Free Martial Soul awakenings?

Soul Master subsidies?

Had such a wonderful era truly existed?

And—

The Tang Sect had ended that era!
