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

Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect! What Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record? It's Just Trash!

Thinking of how the Tang Sect had brought that wonderful era to an end.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sorry, Sister Ya, but I already belong to a sect. I can't join the Tang Sect."

"Ah?" Tang Ya anxiously said, "Which sect did you join, Little Yuhao? Our Tang Sect is really, really great! If you don't believe me, look!"

She immediately began demonstrating.

But the more Huo Yuhao watched, the more silent he became, because—

The hand-training method, Mysterious Jade Hand, made one's palms as hard as steel!

Zhuge Lan said, "After the first level of the Yi Jin Jing is mastered, it comes with full-body defense and even protective qi."

The eye-training method, Purple Demon Eye!

Zhuge Lan said, "What is this nonsense? I've got plenty of eye techniques here—Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan, Copy Eye, Demon God Eye. With enough Luck Value, you can stick them all on your face."

The grappling technique, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

Zhuge Lan said, "How about checking out Tai Chi? How about Dragon Subduing Hand? How about Heaven and Earth Great Shift?"

The movement technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Zhuge Lan said, "This barely counts as a movement art. It doesn't even qualify as lightness skill. I've got Lingbo Weibu, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, Spiral Nine Shadows, and Ascend to Immortality Step!"

The method for using hidden weapons!

Zhuge Lan said, "Something a whole generation behind, and it was even castrated, with the Medicine Scripture and Poison Scripture removed. It isn't worth a fraction of a Soul Tool."

The internal cultivation method, Mysterious Heaven Skill!

Zhuge Lan said, "The first stage of the Yi Jin Jing can crush it outright. And this one's been castrated too—the little bastard Tang San didn't leave behind the crucial Eight Extraordinary Meridians section."

With Zhuge Lan narrating like that, how could Huo Yuhao possibly be tempted?

The allure was instantly gone.

Tang Ya stopped, sweat covering her head, and looked expectantly at Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, what do you think? Have you changed your mind?"

Huo Yuhao found himself in a difficult spot.

What reason could I use to refuse her without hurting Sister Ya?

"Simple. Pull her into your sect instead," Zhuge Lan suggested.

"Huh? I have a sect?"

"You do now." Zhuge Lan mischievously said, "Repeat after me."

Huo Yuhao already trusted Zhuge Lan immensely, so he spoke without hesitation—

"Sister Ya, I really have already joined a sect."

"Our sect's slogan is—"

"Sacred Fire Shining, Sacred Fire Blazing, all disciples of mine, meow meow meow meow."

"..."

Huo Yuhao frantically complained inwardly. What kind of ridiculous slogan is that?

But he was already halfway through the act. He couldn't let it fall apart now, could he?

He could only continue stiffly—

"So, Sister Ya, I've already joined the Sacred Fire, Sacred Fire Cult. This Martial Soul mutation and Soul Skill mutation were both given to me by the sect."

"If I joined the Tang Sect, that would be betraying my sect, and I'd be hunted down."

"However."

"The Sacred Fire Cult definitely has a way to solve your Martial Soul Evolution. Why don't you join the Sacred Fire Cult?"

"Don't worry. Our Sacred Fire Cult believes in inclusiveness. We don't restrict disciples from belonging to other sects, but after joining us, you can't join any more sects."

Tang Ya and Beibei both wore strange expressions.

The Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect?

It didn't sound like a proper sect at all!

But being able to solve their Martial Soul Evolution was incredibly tempting.

"Wait!" Tang Ya came back to her senses. "Wasn't I supposed to be bringing you into the Tang Sect? How did it become us joining the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and gave a foolish grin, offering no answer.

But his attitude was already obvious.

"Alright, Teacher Xiao Ya. Since his sect has restrictions, there's no need to force it." Beibei mediated between them. "Our urgent task is still to hunt your third Soul Ring."

Tang Ya gave an "oh," her mood low.

Seeing this.

Beibei raised a hand and pressed his belt, taking out an entirely black belt inlaid with round white jade.

He handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, this is an imitation of Tang Sect Ancestor Tang San's storage belt, Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night. It has twenty-four storage spaces, each with sides half a meter long."

"This is to thank you as a friend for pointing out the direction of my Martial Soul Evolution."

"There are also one thousand Gold Soul Coins in the belt. I'd like to ask you to help Teacher Xiao Ya find a suitable third soul."

"And grilled fish!" Tang Ya's eyes sparkled. "Little Yuhao, you'll be responsible for grilling fish along the way!"

Huo Yuhao embarrassedly wanted to refuse. After all, he had let down their good intentions.

Beibei forcibly tied Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night around Huo Yuhao's waist.

"A real man shouldn't be so wishy-washy."

"Let's go find a Soul Ring for Teacher Xiao Ya together."

Then he left directly.

Tang Ya waved at Little Yuhao, signaling for him to walk in the middle while she took up the rear.

That settled the "deal."

As Huo Yuhao walked, he asked Zhuge Lan.

"Brother Lan, can you tell me about Luck Value now?"

Zhuge Lan glanced at the system prompt.

Rewrite Huo Yuhao's Destiny, +100000 Luck Value!

Refusing to join the Tang Sect gave him one hundred thousand Luck Value?

Exaggerated!

But then again.

The first step in Tang Buddha's dog training had been to tie Huo Yuhao to the Tang Sect and make him dedicate himself to restoring the Tang Sect's greatness.

By cutting the chain at its source, Huo Yuhao could now roam free beneath the vast sky.

One hundred thousand Luck Value was still too little.

"Little Yuhao, do you believe in fate?"

Huo Yuhao's gaze turned dazed for a moment before becoming resolute.

"I don't believe in fate!"

"If it's destined, then I'll defy the heavens and change my fate!"

"With Brother Lan and Brother Sky Dream helping me, I believe I can do it!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm smugly snorted twice. At least the kid knew how to talk.

"That's right—defy the heavens and change your fate."

Zhuge Lan calmly said—

"Rewrite fate, increase your own weight in the world, and become the Child of Destiny of this era."

"As long as you do things that benefit yourself, your fortune will increase accordingly, after which I'll convert it into Luck Value."

"For example, just now, making Tang Ya give up the Mandala Snake Soul Ring was worth ten thousand Luck Value."

"Refusing to join the Tang Sect was worth fifty thousand Luck Value."

Zhuge Lan had directly cut the amount in half. The extra Luck Value went into his Little Treasury.

What system doesn't take a cut from the middleman?

Even so.

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were still shocked!

"The Tang Sect is worth fifty thousand Luck Value?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed. "The first stage of my Yi Jin Jing only cost five thousand Luck Value!"

—Huo Yuhao could see his own System Panel, so naturally he could notice changes in his Luck Value.

—Of course, he could only see what Zhuge Lan wanted him to see.

"Little Yuhao, shouldn't you be paying more attention to this?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reminded him. "Your Luck Value surged after you refused to join the Tang Sect!"

Huo Yuhao froze.

Then a chill ran down his back!

Fifty thousand Luck Value!

Wouldn't that mean they wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons?

So he had just walked through the gates of hell?

He looked strangely at Beibei ahead of him, frowning in thought.

"Brother Lan, this..."

"It has nothing to do with these two. Some existence arranged your fate," Zhuge Lan vaguely said. "I can't say much about the details. In any case, you were being used as a weapon. Refusing the Tang Sect counts as stepping out of the game."

Huo Yuhao's heart grew even heavier.

He asked in confusion, "I'm just an ordinary person. Why would any existence scheme against me?"

"Little Yuhao, now that you have me and Zhuge Lan, you're anything but ordinary." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm encouraged him. "And there's that gray figure in the spiritual world. It's mysterious as well."

"Indeed." Zhuge Lan agreed. "If we trace your bloodline, you are a descendant of the God of War and the God of Speed."

"Huh?"

"Ah?"

A New Book Sets Sail! It'll Be Contracted Tomorrow! Everyone can invest and make a little money.

Remember to come back and keep reading, okay? It's crucial for the new book~

Creator Illusionist! A Dimensionality-Crushing Blow!

Zhuge Lan did not explain further, instead bringing up another matter.

"Little Yuhao, now that you have more Luck Value, can we discuss something?"

"Go ahead, Brother Lan. If there's anything you need from me, I'll definitely help you get it done!" Huo Yuhao earnestly said.

That was also his true thought.

Though he had known Zhuge Lan and Brother Sky Dream only briefly, the help they had given him was enough to let him defy the heavens and change his fate!

In his simple life, only his mother had ever done that much for him.

So whatever they asked of him, he would never refuse!

"Don't make it sound so tragic. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was about to possess your body."
