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

Yan Shaozhe launched one assault after another, sometimes chopping with upright palms like blades crossing in a meat grinder, sometimes leaping into knee strikes like a hungry tiger pouncing on prey.

Huo Yuhao maintained the rhythm of Cloud Hands, rising and falling. Every seemingly sluggish lift of his hand either caught Yan Shaozhe at the instant before he could exert force, leaving him unable to unleash his strength, or struck directly at a weakness, breaking the attack before borrowing its force.

Yan Shaozhe was left utterly helpless.

The experience he possessed as a Titled Douluo was being completely outclassed by an eleven-year-old child?

To break the deadlock,

he either had to use his Martial Soul or release his own seal.

He chose the latter.

Against attacks from the same rank, Huo Yuhao could manipulate them at will.

With a gap of one rank above him, Huo Yuhao could still handle it easily with Spiritual Detection.

With a two-rank gulf, Huo Yuhao began to struggle and needed Mental Power to weaken the attacks before he could borrow their force against them.

Under the absolute suppression of strength three ranks above him, Huo Yuhao could still hold his own for a while by using Mental Power to reinforce himself!

After battling for a while, Huo Yuhao retreated and waved his hand.

"No, the strength of a four-ring Soul Ancestor is too great. Even if I know the weak points, I can't move them with Tai Chi Fist alone."

Yan Shaozhe stopped and stood still, his expression complicated.

If they did not know Huo Yuhao's personality, anyone else hearing that would have thought he was showing off.

What kind of thing was that to say!

Being able to protect yourself across three major ranks was already monstrously impressive, and he still wanted to win?

"Class monitor, that's going too far!" Xiao Xiao said sourly. "A one-ring Soul Master facing a four-ring Soul Ancestor—if I didn't get beaten to death on the spot, I'd already count myself as tough. What more do you want?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Huo Yuhao scratched his head. "Besides, Senior Brother only reinforced himself with Soul Power. If he added Soul Skills, I definitely would have surrendered even sooner."

"You say that as if you didn't use Mental Power," Wang Dong complained weakly. "At the start of school, I could still keep you down. Now you've completely surpassed me."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and said, "."

Dimensional Suppression! Showing Wang Dong a Big Treasure! ### "Don't say that. How about I teach you Tai Chi Fist?" Huo Yuhao suggested.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes both lit up!

They each grabbed one of Huo Yuhao's arms.

"Class monitor, can you really?" Xiao Xiao asked expectantly.

"If you insist on teaching it, I can learn a little too," Wang Dong said with a touch of tsundere pride.

"What's the big deal? Brother Lan said Tai Chi Fist can be freely passed around within the Sacred Fire Cult," Huo Yuhao said sincerely.

Hoarding one's prized possession?

That did not exist.

Only through direct memory inheritance had he been able to obtain the complete Tai Chi Fist.

If he taught it a second time, it would be impossible for them to master it one hundred percent.

Besides, the more people who learned Tai Chi Fist, the more Luck Value he would gain.

Naturally, the more the better.

So—

"Why wait for another day? Start learning from me right now!"

"Since you're asking, I suppose I can."

"That's great, Class Monitor!"

Off to the side,

Yan Shaozhe's heart stirred as he wondered whether he ought to join the Sacred Fire Cult as well.

He had been quite interested in that demigod's cultivation method, the Yi Jin Jing.

Besides, judging by his teacher's intentions, his teacher also wanted to befriend that demigod.

With that thought,

Yan Shaozhe could no longer hold himself back. He stepped forward and coughed.

"Junior Brother, do you think this senior brother of the Sacred Fire Cult can join?"

Huo Yuhao and the other two stopped moving and turned to look at Yan Shaozhe in unison.

Huh?

"What are you standing around for? You're turning down Luck Value delivered right to your door?" Zhuge Lan urged.

Huo Yuhao snapped back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

"No problem, Senior Brother!"

"After Brother Lan came last time, he said that if a Titled Douluo joined, they could become an Honorary Elder directly. I didn't expect to use that so soon."

Yan Shaozhe's brow twitched.

It seemed that person had anticipated this long ago and had simply been waiting for them to step into the trap.

But with the arrow already nocked, there was no reason to regret it now.

He put on an easy smile. "That's good, or else I'd have to call you Senior, Junior Brother."

"No, no. At Shrek Academy, we can still address each other as senior and junior brothers," Huo Yuhao hurriedly said.

Yet Yan Shaozhe cared more about the other implication—within the Sacred Fire Cult, they would have to go by their positions instead, right?

From what that demigod had said, Huo Yuhao was being raised as an heir.

At the very least, he would become a Vice Sect Master in the future, wouldn't he?

Then this...

Forget it. They could discuss it later.

"Let's begin cultivating," Huo Yuhao said. "First, we'll—"

"Wait!" Xiao Xiao raised a small hand and smiled. "Class monitor, didn't you forget something?"

Wang Dong gave him an expectant look. That's right, that's right!

Huo Yuhao: "."

He had deliberately ignored it, and they still had to remind him?

Zhuge Lan merely smiled in the spiritual world without saying a word.

What people feared was not having too little, but having less than others.

How could others skip the painful road he had walked himself?

Especially when the target was his own teacher, Dean Yan of the Martial Soul Branch, a level-95 Super Douluo.

That made it even more worth looking forward to!

As it happened,

Yan Shaozhe had also heard a little about this "initiation ceremony."

His expression became rather unnatural.

He struggled. "As an Honorary Elder, can't I be exempted from this?"

"No!" Xiao Xiao, the rebellious disciple, shouted. "Class monitor, you said it yourself—every cult member is equal. Do Elders get special privileges?"

"Right! No special privileges!" Wang Dong echoed.

Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and looked at Yan Shaozhe.

"Senior Brother, how about... we just go through the process?"

Yan Shaozhe: "."

It seemed he could not escape it.

Still unwilling to give up, he asked, "Who designed this initiation ceremony?"

"Brother Lan," Huo Yuhao answered honestly.

Yan Shaozhe gave up completely.

A sect capable of casually coming up with a name like "Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect" truly was capable of this.

Out of respect for the demigod, he did not even use Soul Power to set up a sound barrier.

He directly tilted his head back and shouted—

"Sacred Fire Shining, Sacred Fire Blazing, all my disciples—"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

Worthy of a Super Douluo, his voice was so loud that people poked their heads out from the entire dormitory building. Who was going crazy so early in the morning?

"What are you looking at?" Yan Shaozhe said imposinglly. "Aren't you going to class? Anyone late today will be expelled!"

Holy shit!

Why was Dean Yan at the dormitory building?

"Understood, Dean!"

"We're leaving right away!"

"Stop sleeping! Slap slap slap!"

"Thank you, godfather, for saving my life!"

Using his authority as dean, Yan Shaozhe successfully suppressed the matter.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong beamed with delight.

Seeing a "later arrival" suffer the same embarrassment as them was simply delightful!

Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, looked awkward as he complained to Zhuge Lan.

"Can't we cancel this initiation ceremony? It's way too offensive."

"If they don't even have this much sincerity, the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect won't take them," Zhuge Lan refused to budge.

Huo Yuhao fell silent.

Sigh.

Brother Lan was good in every way, except for this nasty sense of humor...

"Junior Brother, can we begin now?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly nodded.

"Senior Brother, learn Tai Chi Fist with us first. You can learn the Yi Jin Jing later."

"But for now, I can only teach the first stage. You'll have to wait until I comprehend the second stage before I can pass it on."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes flashed. Huo Yuhao knew the second stage?

He had said before that he only knew the first stage.

Had that demigod taught him when he came previously?

His thoughts raced.

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement on the surface.

Huo Yuhao pulled him into Spiritual Detection Sharing as well and began explaining the essentials of Tai Chi Fist.

"This Tai Chi Fist emphasizes using stillness to control motion, using softness to overcome hardness, deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, and striking after the opponent while arriving before them."

"It can also move like flowing clouds and running water, continuous and unbroken, containing both hardness and softness, concealed without being revealed."

"It can further stimulate potential, awaken wisdom, replenish one's spirit, and strengthen the body."
