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

One fantastical world after another unfolded before Electrolux.

The light in his eyes grew ever brighter, as though he had made some kind of decision.

Even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been somewhat dejected over being the only one not to awaken spiritual power, could not help but feel a sense of longing.

Zhuge Lan chuckled to himself. The Marketing Talent exchanged for 5 Luck Value was indeed useful.

The next day.

The alarm Soul Tool woke the two who had been cultivating together. Huo Yuhao had barely opened his eyes when Wang Dong pushed him away.

Seeing the slight flush on her ears, he was rather confused.

"We're both men. Why are you getting shy over a hug?"

"C-Cut the nonsense!" Wang Dong said angrily. "Ah! We're going to be late! We still need to wash up, so get out!"

Wang Dong drove Huo Yuhao out. Used to it by now, he leaped beneath the great tree and bowed to the sleeping Mu En.

Only then did he pass by him and head for the bathhouse.

At the same time, he asked inwardly, "Brother Lan, when are you planning to extend Teacher's life? His condition seems really bad."

"In a few more days." Zhuge Lan was in no hurry. "You only just made an arrangement with Ma Xiaotao. If I show up the very next day, it'll easily arouse suspicion."

"Alright."

After washing up, there was still some time to buy breakfast.

With Wang Dong walking ahead of him, he entered the classroom just in time.

"The class monitor's here."

"Class monitor, did Dragon God Douluo really take you as a personal disciple?"

"He's a closed-door disciple!"

"Then wouldn't Dean Yan be the class monitor's senior brother?"

"Your news is outdated. Wang Dong was also accepted as a personal disciple."

"You're the one behind the times. Xiao Xiao took a master yesterday too—it was Dean Yan!"

"Huh? Doesn't that make her the class monitor's and Wang Dong's martial nephew?"

Faced with his classmates' enthusiasm, Huo Yuhao responded as kindly as ever.

He arrived at the front row.

Xiao Xiao had already moved her seat there, with an empty seat on either side of her.

"The class monitor's here." Xiao Xiao grinned. "I saved seats for you two. From now on, we're a team! We need to stay together often and build up our coordination!"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the seats on Xiao Xiao's left and right, feeling that neither one was appropriate.

He could only cast Wang Dong a pleading look.

He had thought Wang Dong would continue watching the show.

Yet this time, she unexpectedly did not stand idly by. She nudged Xiao Xiao, who was getting up to give up her seat, with her butt, then plopped down in the neighboring seat.

She herself sat in Xiao Xiao's seat.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly sat beside Wang Dong and discreetly gave her a thumbs-up.

Nicely done!

His hand was immediately seized by Wang Dong.

"Don't think I wanted to help you. It's only more convenient for cultivating fused Soul Power. We need to seize every second and grow stronger."

"Oh, okay."

The two circulated their Soul Power. Once fused, it flowed through both their bodies.

Huo Yuhao could easily multitask and continue circulating the Yi Jin Jing.

Wang Dong could not do that, but even simply letting their fused Soul Power flow brought her immense benefits.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao leaned closer.

"Is this an advanced application of the Yi Jin Jing? I want to learn too!"

"I can't teach you, Xiao Xiao." Huo Yuhao smiled. "Wang Dong's Martial Soul and mine are compatible, and we might have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This is Soul Power fusion to increase our compatibility."

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened!

This...

Was that lucky even possible?

"Fine."

She dejectedly shrank back into her seat.

Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to fool this clingy pest.

Wang Dong suddenly had an idea. "Calling it fused Soul Power is too unoriginal. How about we give it an exclusive name?"

"Huh? Oh, sure."

"What should we call it?"

"Hao Dong Power."

Huo Yuhao had only intended to take one character from each of their names. It was simple and clear.

But Wang Dong's face reddened again, and she awkwardly looked away.

Huo Yuhao had long grown used to it.

But Xiao Xiao was suspicious. Why did something seem off about Wang Dong?

Could it be...

She liked the class monitor too?!

At the thought of that possibility, it was as if some hidden trait had been activated in Xiao Xiao. Not only was she not heartbroken over someone stealing her love, she actually wanted to play matchmaker for them!

But as soon as the thought arose, she shook her head and snuffed it out.

No, no!

The class monitor was hers!

How could she let Wang Dong have him?

But...

The class monitor and Wang Dong!

If they got together, wouldn't they make such a great couple to ship?

Aiya!

This was so hard!

(▽)

"Thud, thud, thud—"

Rapid footsteps approached, yet Xiao Xiao was still immersed in her dilemma.

Until—

"Bang!"

The tremendous sound jolted Xiao Xiao awake. Looking at the wall of books taller than she was, she was utterly bewildered for a moment.

What was going on?

The next instant.

Wang Dong stored the wall of books in her Storage Ring, revealing Zhou Yi's stern face.

Σ(っQДQ;)っ

Scientific Training Methods! Getting Targeted Again!

Xiao Xiao was startled out of nowhere.

"Come on, Xiao Xiao. Why are you still sitting there?" Wang Dong urged.

Without her noticing when, she and Huo Yuhao had already risen, looking as though they were about to leave the classroom.

Wait!

Did they not see who was standing in front of them?

They were cutting class so openly?

"Xiao Xiao!" Zhou Yi said in a deep voice. "I saw you spacing out just now. I've prepared theoretical books for you. Huo Yuhao will lead your physical training. For the next three months, you can cultivate on your own."

Xiao Xiao sprang to her feet, her face full of delight!

She could leave Zhou Yi?

And spend time with the class monitor and the other two?

Wonderful!

That way, whether she ended up with the class monitor or Wang Dong ended up with him, she could accept it!

—It couldn't possibly be her and Wang Dong getting together, right?

Impossible!

Wang Dong was a little handsome, sure, but she blushed for no reason and acted so girly. Definitely not Xiao Xiao's type.

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhou~"

Xiao Xiao skipped after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. They went all the way to the front of the freshman dormitories, stopping beneath a tree not far from Mu En.

"Let's do it here." Huo Yuhao said, "We'll memorize theoretical knowledge in the morning, train our physical fitness in the afternoon, and return separately at night to cultivate Soul Power. Any objections?"

Wang Dong nodded in understanding. She had become accustomed to Huo Yuhao's routine.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao said in shock. "We have to cultivate at night too? No sleeping?"

"Sleeping?" Huo Yuhao looked at her in confusion. "Can't meditation cultivation replace sleep?"

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Oh no!

Why did following the class monitor feel even more miserable than staying with Teacher Zhou?

Seeing that Xiao Xiao said nothing, Huo Yuhao began reading.

Spiritual power surged forth. Three books floated into the air and opened, their pages turning. He split his attention three ways to read them simultaneously, and scanning with spiritual power was even more efficient than using his eyes.

After quickly flipping through them, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and organized the information for a moment.

His powerful spiritual power rapidly processed the information, then he took out a small notebook and jotted down the points he did not understand.

He continued with another round of reading.

That efficiency...

Left Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao dumbfounded!

"No way!" Xiao Xiao pointed at Huo Yuhao. "Can he really absorb any of that?"

"He probably... can?" Wang Dong said uncertainly. "Yuhao doesn't seem like the type to put on a show."

Xiao Xiao agreed with that.

But this exaggerated display made it hard to believe!

Even so, Huo Yuhao still had enough attention to spare to notice what the two were doing.

"What? Am I interrupting your reading?"

"Uh..."

"Mm."
