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

"Quit playing dumb!"

"You haven't slept at all these past three months!"

"Get up and tell me already!"

"You bastard!!!"

No matter how furiously Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raged, Zhuge Lan simply would not wake up.

And it could not beat him, either.

That only made it angrier!

Electrolux and Huo Yuhao could both tell at a glance that Zhuge Lan was deliberately teasing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

It seemed they would not be hearing the rest today.

Electrolux resumed his fake slumber to nurture himself.

Huo Yuhao returned to his body and seriously completed a set of Tai Chi Fist.

But one could see only its form, not grasp its intent. Even Mu En had not gleaned much from it.

Still, it was a fact that Yan Shaozhe was already close to breaking through to Rank 95 because of this Tai Chi Intent.

It seemed that if one wanted to get to the bottom of it, the key lay in the cultivation mantra.

But...

To learn it, one would have to join the Sacred Fire Cult. Given Mu En's status, he had no choice but to be cautious.

They would wait and see.

He offered a pointer. "A fine combat technique. It pairs well with King's Descent."

His words instantly enlightened Huo Yuhao.

King's Descent was similar to Hao Dong Power, a kind of all-purpose energy.

It could be released directly, overwhelming all techniques with sheer force.

It could also be added to any method to amplify its power.

Tai Chi Fist emphasized the balance of hardness and softness. If he used King's Descent to enhance it when explosive power was needed, he could hardly imagine how spectacular the expressions of enemies battered back and forth by it would be!

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. This disciple will give it a try!"

"No rush." Mu En pointed toward the dormitory building. "The Clear Sky Sect made quite a commotion this time. They probably brought you back something nice. Aren't you going to take a look?"

Huo Yuhao rubbed his nose.

"Sorry, Teacher. That Soul Bone was more suitable for Wang Dong, so..."

"It's fine." Mu En waved his hand. "Since it was given to you, you have the right to decide how to handle it. Isn't the outcome quite good now?"

Huo Yuhao let out a breath of relief.

After bidding Mu En farewell, he returned to the dormitory.

This time, he had learned his lesson and knocked first.

"You still know how to come back?" Wang Dong complained. "Come in."

She looked exactly like a wife waiting at home for her husband.

Yet Huo Yuhao noticed none of the strange atmosphere and pushed the door open.

Then he was nearly blinded by the light.

Wang Dong had activated her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, and three Soul Rings shone brightly beneath her feet.

She had jumped from Rank 24 to Rank 30 in a single month?

If she had absorbed a 240,000-year Torso Bone, that was understandable.

But!

Wang Dong's Soul Ring configuration was—yellow! Purple! Black!!!

After obtaining a thousand-year second Soul Ring, she had now gained a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring?!

That was outrageous!

But considering the 240,000-year Torso Bone primarily enhanced her physique.

A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was not entirely unreasonable.

Only...

"How did you endure the Soul Shock from a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring?" Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully.

This was also something he had only recently learned from books.

Soul Bones were rare.

But for major sects, gathering a full set of roughly similar age was not too difficult.

Yet most still obediently waited until their Fifth Soul Ring before hunting ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

That was because of Soul Shock. One careless mistake could shatter one's spiritual world!

"My eldest daddy and second daddy dealt with that. I don't know the details either." Wang Dong shook her head.

Zhuge Lan in the spiritual world remarked, You're lying!

—The barrier he had placed around the Sea God's Divine Sense had vanished.

There was no need to ask.

She must have forcibly absorbed the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, shattered that warning barrier, and then there was no "after that."

—That was a wisp of divine sense, a reserve even a limit Douluo could suppress. The residual soul of a mere ten-thousand-year Soul Beast would be easily handled.

Huo Yuhao quickly accepted reality.

—Compared to his own million-year first Soul Ring, it was still a little lacking.

"Since you absorbed the Torso Bone, it seems it brought back some pretty good resources."

"Hand them over."

Wang Dong smiled smugly.

"This time, my eldest daddy and second daddy personally made a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest and found two Soul Bones for you!"

"One of them is an 80,000-year spiritual-attribute head Soul Bone. It possesses a special fusion property and can fuse with a head Soul Bone from the same location, including one that has already been absorbed!"

"Your Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull is fifty thousand years old. There's a very high chance it can fuse into a hundred-thousand-year one, and its Soul Bone Skill will not change. It may even gain an additional skill."

It sounded pretty good.

But compared to the 240,000-year Torso Bone, it was still somewhat lacking.

So Huo Yuhao said nothing and continued looking at Wang Dong.

"The other one is only three thousand years old..."

Wang Dong drew out her words, yet Huo Yuhao showed no emotional reaction at all.

He really could keep his composure.

"But this one is an exceedingly rare External Soul Bone, produced by a mutated Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. It's an absolute treasure!"

"Unfortunately, my eldest daddy and second daddy promised a certain existence that I would not absorb it. Otherwise, it would not have been your turn."

This finally moved Huo Yuhao.

Generally speaking, Soul Beasts had their own specializations, excelling in areas such as speed, offense, or defense.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, however, was an oddity. It combined offense and defense, and even its speed could produce afterimages through sheer power.

Its Dark Gold Dreadclaws in particular were its signature weapon, sharp enough to tear apart the heavens!

What kind of absurd luck was this, to get such drops?

"That's strange." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in confusion. "Xiong Jun is extremely protective of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear lineage. How could he allow someone to hunt a three-thousand-year-old cub?"

Zhuge Lan said nothing.

—Of course, it was because Wang Dong's eldest daddy and second daddy had descended from the God Realm.

Back then, right at their doorstep, both of them had sacrificed themselves to Tang San.

After Tang San ascended, they had "returned from the dead," and had directly become humans without even needing to undergo the transformation process.

Di Tian and the others were not fools. How could they fail to see what was going on?

How could they possibly fall out over something so trivial?

Xiao Xiao: Shipping the Couple, but Her Idol Was in the Middle of It!

"Not bad."

Zhuge Lan nodded—

"Although I can use Deep Blue Point Allocation, condensing an External Soul Bone starts at ten thousand Luck Value, and increasing its age costs ten times as much. The value for money is too poor."

"Getting a self-evolving External Soul Bone for free saves a huge amount of Luck Value. That alone is worth half the value of the Torso Bone."

Huo Yuhao secretly rejoiced at his words, but then noticed Wang Dong seemed hesitant to speak.

"What? There's more?"

"Uh... sort of." Wang Dong suddenly became bashful. "You'll have to wait until you reach Rank 50 for the details. At that time, depending on whether you meet certain conditions, you can try to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer. Even if you don't meet them, they'll take you to hunt a 300,000-year fierce beast... but you can't go to the Star Dou Great Forest. The Far North seems like a good choice."

Huo Yuhao was left somewhat confused.

What certain conditions?

Just as he was about to ask.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the first to jump up in alarm!

"The Far North? A 300,000-year fierce beast?"

"They're going after Bingbing!"

"No!"

"Little Yuhao, hurry up and ask for leave! I'll take you to the Far North to seek an opportunity!"

Before Huo Yuhao could respond.

Zhuge Lan had already grabbed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and tied it into a dead knot with spiritual power.

"Are you stupid?"

"According to the plan, Little Yuhao will go to the Far North at Rank 30. Why wait for the Clear Sky Sect?"

"When the time comes, we can fleece the Sun Moon Empire. Catching a sea Soul Beast would work too."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been trying to wriggle free, stopped moving.

Right!

It had been too concerned and had forgotten about the timeline!

"Hey! Untie me!"

"Wriggle around on your own. Off you go!"

With a kick, Zhuge Lan sent Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flying away.

Zhuge Lan did not forget to tell Little Yuhao not to rush into absorbing the Soul Bones.

"I'll arrange everything together later. There may be a pleasant surprise."

Huo Yuhao nodded and placed the two Soul Bones Wang Dong had presented into the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

Then he stared straight at her, hungry with anticipation.

"It's been a month already. Give it to me!"

Wang Dong: "..."

What kind of wild words were those!!!
