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

The golden fireball, only a few meters tall, stood where it was.

This time, under Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's control, they were not drained dry on the spot.

Panting heavily as they watched the scene, both of them were somewhat astonished.

Ma Xiaotao, a six-ring Soul Emperor, had been restrained?

Huo Yuhao counted silently.

One, two, three.

Crack—

Cracks spread densely across the golden flames, and wisps of fire leaked out and began burning.

Four, five.

Crack—crack—

The flames shot more than ten meters into the air. Ma Xiaotao was really putting in effort now.

Six.

Screech—

The Evil Fire Phoenix broke free of its restraints and soared into the sky. Ma Xiaotao surveyed the wreckage below, glanced at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, then examined the golden remnants again.

She looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Six seconds!"

Ma Xiaotao exclaimed dramatically—

"I had to unleash my full power inside before I could reconnect with my Martial Soul, then use a Soul Skill to break out!"

"What is going on with this Martial Soul Fusion Skill of yours?"

"I'm a six-ring Soul Emperor!"

"Little Yuhao, Wang Dong, did either of you hide your cultivation level?"

Wang Dong decisively shook her head.

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, instantly drawing both their attention.

So it really was you!

"Uh, maybe my mutated spiritual power was also absorbed into the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Huo Yuhao guessed—

"After absorbing the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull, my spiritual power underwent another transformation. It feels like it's at least at the level of a three-ring Soul Elder."

"I can even fight a non-mental-attribute four-ring Soul Ancestor."

"Against weaker five-ring Soul Kings who aren't mental-attribute, strong attack, or agility attack system, I can hold my own for a while."

"Against a six-ring Soul Emperor who can't fly, I have a chance to escape."

"Any higher than that won't work. The gap in Soul Power is too great, and I'll be suppressed."

Wang Dong: Σ(っQДQ;)っ

Ma Xiaotao: (●-●)

This was utterly ridiculous!

You were a level-fifteen one-ring Soul Master, yet you dared to treat six-ring Soul Emperors as hypothetical opponents?

"Oh, right." Huo Yuhao dropped another bombshell. "Wang Dong, don't you have a Second Martial Soul? I feel like it should also be able to create a new Martial Soul Fusion Skill with my Spirit Eyes."

Wang Dong nodded thoughtfully. It did seem possible?

Ma Xiaotao's eyelids twitched!

If she remembered correctly, her teacher had said that Wang Dong was from the Clear Sky Sect, so her Second Martial Soul was most likely the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Light Goddess Butterfly and Spirit Eyes were already this powerful.

If it were replaced with the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world—

She estimated she would have to use a Soul Skill, or she might get hammered.

She rubbed her brow.

"Alright, you've roughly seen its power. Against anyone below a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, this move of yours can restrain them for several seconds."

"Five-ring Soul Kings basically won't get out for more than ten seconds."

"Forget about four-ring Soul Ancestors. At best, they can preserve their lives."

"You need to be careful against three-ring Soul Elders and below. One mistake could cost someone their life."

Wang Dong stared at her hands in disbelief. Was this really something she could accomplish at her current level?

And that was it?

Huo Yuhao still had more to add!

Chapter 38: Zhuge Lan Goes Online, Demigod Backer!

"Um." Huo Yuhao added, "The Soul Bone Skill of the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull stores spiritual power. It can hold around fourteen times my peak amount, and all of it can be poured into the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Damn!" Ma Xiaotao cursed. "Wouldn't that mean even a Seven-Ring Soul Sage couldn't dodge it and would still get restrained?"

"I don't know." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Wait here! I'm going to get someone!"

Leaving those words behind, Ma Xiaotao flew off in a rush.

Leaving Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong staring at each other.

More than ten seconds later.

Huo Yuhao took out a Mysterious Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill, using his spiritual power to float them over to Wang Dong.

"These are for you. Find some time to absorb them."

"Mysterious Water Pills? You're sure you're giving them to me?" Wang Dong asked in surprise.

"Of course. I've already taken three Mysterious Water Pills, so I've developed drug resistance." Huo Yuhao answered honestly.

Wang Dong held the porcelain bottle, her feelings complicated.

A few seconds later.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Besides, back home, Big Daddy and Second Daddy never let me take pills. They said it would affect my foundation."

Huo Yuhao said nothing more and raised a hand toward Wang Dong.

Their palms met as they cultivated the Yi Jin Jing together.

They had recovered less than a tenth when a gentle, warm current flowed into them. Their depleted condition, Soul Power, and everything else were filled up in the blink of an eye.

They opened their eyes.

Elder Zhuang was retracting the branches and leaves of his Martial Soul. Beside him stood Ma Xiaotao, her face full of anticipation.

"Although Elder Zhuang is a healing-type, he's still a level-ninety-five Super Douluo."

"You two can use your full strength without worry!"

Elder Zhuang smiled and nodded, signaling that they need not hold back.

"My own spiritual power hasn't recovered, so its power will be slightly reduced," Huo Yuhao said.

At the same time, an emerald skull emerged from his forehead, dazzling like a crown.

As they unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he activated the Soul Bone Skill—Spirit Storage. A vast amount of spiritual power poured into the blue-purple eyes behind them.

This process lasted more than forty seconds, yet the spiritual power still could not be fully poured in—controlling this oversized Martial Soul Fusion Skill consumed no small amount as well!

"Here it comes!"

With a roar, a three-colored beam shot forth.

Its length, width, and height had all increased more than tenfold, forming a golden avenue nearly a thousand meters long and dozens of meters wide.

When the aftershock faded.

Elder Zhuang could be seen with only his head protected by his vine Martial Soul, while everything below his neck was covered in a golden sheen.

About two breaths later.

Cracks finally spread across it, followed by shattering.

"Unbelievable!"

Elder Zhuang exclaimed—

"This old man is a healing type, so my defenses are somewhat weaker. This move's power can roughly trap a Seven-Ring Soul Sage who hasn't activated a Martial Soul Avatar for about one second."

"During that time, the connection between the body and Martial Soul is cut off, so there's no way to activate a Martial Soul Avatar."

"Even if they have activated a Martial Soul Avatar, it can still restrain them for at least an instant."

"As for six-ring Soul Emperors and below, once they're hit, the battle is basically over. Even Xiaotao is no exception."

Ma Xiaotao held her forehead, feeling as though she had heard a fantasy.

Wang Dong was equally dumbfounded.

Only Huo Yuhao remained calm—

"More than forty seconds of charging time makes this nearly impossible under normal circumstances."

"Also, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill travels in a straight line, so it isn't difficult to predict and dodge."

"It will take me at least ten days to fully replenish the spiritual power within the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull."

"So theoretically, this move can only be used in battles involving four-ring Soul Ancestors."

This rational analysis earned Elder Zhuang's praise.

"Not bad."

"That child Xiaotao never likes using her brain. She always charges straight ahead."

"With Little Yuhao and Wang Dong joining this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

Ma Xiaotao's expression darkened slightly, but she did not refute Elder Zhuang.

Elder Zhuang activated his healing Soul Skill again, restoring the two of them.

"You two continue. This old man has matters to attend to."

"Wait for me, Elder Zhuang. I'm heading back to the Inner Court too. I have to train hard for an entire day!"

"Goodbye, Sister Xiao Tao~" ×2

Watching the two leave, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance.

With perfect understanding, they sat cross-legged and pressed their palms together.

They began that day's joint cultivation.

From the day they tested the Martial Soul Fusion Skill onward, time seemed to hit the fast-forward button.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both took pills, raising their levels to nineteen and twenty-four respectively.

Their second Martial Soul Fusion Skill had also been developed, and they could initially control its approximate power.

They would no longer be drained dry every time.

That night.

Huo Yuhao was cultivating together with Wang Dong when Zhuge Lan's voice suddenly sounded.

"It's time to go show off in front of Shrek's people."

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person cultivating with him.
