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

"But mastering it depends on grasping its intent."

After one round of instruction,

Xiao Xiao was completely lost.

Wang Dong had gained something and was deep in thought.

Altered Wang Dong's fate, +150 Luck Value!

The one who benefited the most was actually Yan Shaozhe. The intent of "balancing yin and yang" within Tai Chi Fist had even loosened his bottleneck somewhat!

—This thing was definitely not simple!

The combat power Huo Yuhao had displayed might have only been a side effect.

More importantly, it cultivated the body, the heart, and the will!

In the past, they could only make slight progress in these areas through sudden enlightenment or insights gained from life.

Who would have thought they could be cultivated systematically?

A treasure!

An absolute treasure!

At that thought,

Yan Shaozhe could no longer hold himself back. He told Huo Yuhao to continue cultivating on his own, then hurriedly flew toward Sea God Island.

He had to tell everyone this news!

Especially those stuck at bottlenecks or burdened by personal flaws—they needed this Tai Chi Intent even more!

Seeing that it was about time, Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to rest first.

Altered Yan Shaozhe's fate, +12,500 Luck Value!

This was the Luck Value from joining the Sacred Fire Cult.

Altered Yan Shaozhe's fate, +5,000 Luck Value!

This was the Luck Value from Yan Shaozhe comprehending Tai Chi Fist.

It was unexpectedly high.

"Brother Lan, this Tai Chi Fist seems to be very effective on Eldest Senior Brother?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I picked it out with great care." Zhuge Lan said smugly, "What do a bunch of people who only know how to follow skill templates understand about following the natural way? They rely entirely on their innate foundations to brute-force their way through things. No wonder there are so few top-tier fighters."

Ten Thousand Year Torso Bone! Plotting a God-Level Exploding Ring!

Huo Yuhao could not make heads or tails of Zhuge Lan's rant.

"Brother Sky Dream, Elder Yi, do you know what he means?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not say a word.

—As someone who had spent his life idly eating and waiting to die, he was even more confused.

"You can understand it as cultivation of the will." Electrolux explained concisely. "Because this world has Martial Souls and Soul Rings, it lacks innovation and places even less importance on inner cultivation. Tai Chi Intent makes up for this shortcoming. The stronger one is, the more likely one is to benefit greatly from it."

Now Huo Yuhao understood.

"So it's what Brother Lan usually calls a dimensionality-reduction strike?"

"You're teachable." Zhuge Lan said approvingly. "Have you decided how to deal with that 240,000-year Soul Bone?"

At the mention of that, Huo Yuhao instantly turned into a bitter little gourd.

The resource package Mu En had given him over a month ago had only been scratched at the surface even now.

The most valuable item within it was undoubtedly this 240,000-year Torso Bone.

But the problem was—

This Torso Bone came from the 240,000-year beast Dragon Horse. It possessed pure light attributes and belonged to the close-combat Assault System.

Huo Yuhao had dual spiritual and ice attributes, so his compatibility with this Torso Bone was not high.

Wang Dong, on the other hand—

Light attribute, flying Martial Soul, Assault System!

It was more than compatible. It was practically tailor-made for her.

Yet Mu En had given this Torso Bone to Huo Yuhao.

There was no need to ask.

It had to be because of that mysterious demigod.

—Wang Dong's two fathers at home were not enough to make Mu En give away something this valuable.

That left Huo Yuhao in a dilemma.

A 240,000-year Torso Bone!

If he had encountered such an opportunity in the past, he would definitely have absorbed it at once.

So what if the attributes did not match? Its age was high enough!

The Luck Value alone would have been at least five digits.

But now that he had Brother Lan, a 240,000-year Soul Bone only meant 240,000 Luck Value. If he saved up, he would eventually get it, and the attributes would definitely be a perfect match.

Therefore,

Knowing full well that this Soul Bone suited Wang Dong better, and since they were both Mu En's final disciples, he had no way to secretly absorb it himself.

It would also waste a Soul Bone slot for nothing.

But then again, such a precious Soul Bone—just giving it to Wang Dong for free...

He really could not bear to.

So he fretted like a bitter little gourd.

Zhuge Lan was thoroughly amused by the sight.

If it were anyone else, he would have cursed Huo Yuhao bloody for being so conflicted.

But if it was Wang Dong—the absolute Hao Dong CP.

Then he would get the melon seeds and stools ready and enjoy the show.

"If you really can't decide, then trade it." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said sympathetically. "As the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Wang Dong will definitely be willing to invest resources in cultivation."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!

That was right!

The reason he could not bear to part with it was, in the end, because giving it away hurt too much.

He would lose the Soul Bone and the Luck Value it could bring.

But if he could trade it for resources better suited to himself, then it would be a win-win!

At that thought,

Huo Yuhao casually rubbed himself down a few times before rushing back to the dormitory. He was so excited that he pushed the door open without thinking.

By the time he realized he had forgotten to knock, he had already caught sight of that "jade-like back" again.

"Ah!!!"

Huo Yuhao shut the door and stepped back out on instinct, awkwardly rubbing his face.

How strange!

Why did the sight of a boy's back make his heart race?

It must be because I'm too excited.

Within his spiritual attribute,

Zhuge Lan, who was riding Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and attacking, read that thought and laughed.

"Why doesn't Shrek Academy have biology classes? They're really misleading their students."

"Biology classes?" Electrolux asked curiously.

"They teach the differences in human anatomy and provide sex education in time."

"Zhuge's homeland is actually so open-minded?"

"Only by correctly understanding the world can people become enlightened early and avoid situations like Little Yuhao's, where the answer is right before his eyes and he still cannot see it."

Electrolux nodded in agreement.

With such advanced ideas, it was no wonder that Zhuge Lan's homeland could nurture such an outstanding talent.

"Creak—"

Wang Dong opened the dormitory door and glared at Huo Yuhao angrily.

"Why were you so quick today? And you didn't even knock!"

"Sorry, I got excited and forgot." Huo Yuhao said carelessly. "Come in first. I've got a big treasure to show you too."

He put an arm around Wang Dong's shoulder and pulled her inside, completely failing to notice the strange look on her face.

—Show me a big treasure?

The kind she was thinking of?

Had her identity finally been exposed?

While she was letting her imagination run wild,

Huo Yuhao had already taken out the Torso Bone. Its pure white glow illuminated the room, while the dense Soul Power fluctuations left Wang Dong staring wide-eyed.

It was definitely a Soul Bone over 100,000 years old!

And its attributes were extremely compatible with her own!

This...

"Where did you get such a high-quality Soul Bone?" Wang Dong asked blankly.

"My teacher gave it to me." Huo Yuhao scratched his head. "But I think it suits you better."

Wang Dong's expression immediately turned solemn!

Her first reaction was not—why was this Soul Bone given to you instead of me?

Instead—

"No!"

"Since Teacher gave it to you, it belongs to you!"

"I can't take it!"

"Put it away quickly. It'll be troublesome if someone else finds out!"

Even in the face of a 100,000-year Soul Bone, Wang Dong could refuse so decisively. She truly had great resolve.

That only strengthened Huo Yuhao's determination.

—For such an outstanding "other half," he had to respond with sincerity all the more!

"Who said I was giving it to you for free?" Huo Yuhao said with a deliberate frown. "This Soul Bone suits you, and it's as old as 240,000 years. So I thought I could trade it with you for cultivation resources, Self-Created Soul Skills, compatible Soul Bones, or something like that. The overall value can't be too far apart, though."

Put that way, Wang Dong became interested.

She glanced longingly at the Torso Bone, desperately wanting to claim it.

But she soon frowned again.

"A 240,000-year Torso Bone?"

"The inherited Soul Bones in the sect are only a set of Soul Bones around 80,000 years old, and it's impossible to trade those to you."

"This is a little difficult."

Wang Dong frowned, pondering what valuable items her family had.
