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

There was more life in his eyes. He reached around Huo Yuhao with both hands and clasped his fists toward Mu En.

"Thank you for waking me up!"

Mu En waved his hand weakly. Though there was no visible fluctuation, Huo Yuhao's tightly clenched hand loosened.

Wang Dong rose and bowed once more. Then, seeing Huo Yuhao covered in bruises, her eye twitched.

Still unable to ignore him, she bent down and carried him on her back.

She headed toward the dormitory.

Seeing this, Mu En chuckled softly.

"That little girl from the Clear Sky Sect is quite fortunate too."

"It's just that..."

What followed was too indistinct for anyone to hear clearly.

Inside the spiritual world.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly, his gaze drifting toward Zhuge Lan from time to time.

"Brother Lan, why did you use Mental Power to make my injuries, then drag me in here to fake unconsciousness?"

"To win sympathy, of course." Zhuge Lan answered bluntly. "Wang Dong has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with you. Cultivating by merging your Soul Power can also speed up your progress. She must be recruited as the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect's first member."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

That was an opportunity found only once in ten thousand cases. He had never expected that he and his roommate would have one?

But then hesitation appeared on his face. Wasn't he being a little too...

"Enough." Zhuge Lan waved a hand. "Don't just sit around. Cultivate the Yi Jin Jing to improve your physique."

"Got it."

Huo Yuhao had no grounds to argue and could only obediently sit cross-legged.

He circulated his Soul Power and began cultivating, while his body in reality remained unconscious.

Not far away.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm leaned toward Zhuge Lan and muttered quietly, "Zhuge, why didn't you tell Little Yuhao that human girl is disguised as a man?"

"So they can poke through the paper window?" Zhuge Lan rolled his eyes. "With Little Yuhao being such an inexperienced virgin, he'll definitely become all restrained and awkward afterward. How will they build a deep revolutionary friendship then? How will he win her over?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm scratched his chin in confusion.

Was that how it worked?

"You're a Soul Beast—and one that's been single for tens of thousands of years at that. What the hell do you know about love?"

"Just shut your mouth and watch me work."

"If you let it slip, I won't awaken your Mental Power for you!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had still had objections, was instantly subdued.

As long as it wasn't hurting Little Yuhao, it wasn't a big problem.

The next day.

Huo Yuhao was happily cultivating.

Wang Dong, across from him, finally reached the end of her patience and slapped the bed as she shot to her feet!

"Kid!"

"You can still cultivate while unconscious?"

"Hurry up and wash that smell off yourself!"

"It was only a little at first. Why is it getting stinkier and stinkier? You've turned the whole dorm into a toilet!"

Huo Yuhao instinctively returned to his body, opened his eyes, and sniffed.

"Bleurgh—"

Holy crap!

What was that smell?

He got up and pulled back his thin blanket, only to see a dark layer of "scabs."

He understood.

Those were impurities that had been expelled from his body.

He gave Wang Dong, whose face was full of fury, an embarrassed smile, scooped up his bedding, and bolted from the dormitory.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy had people from all corners of the world and all sorts of backgrounds. To accommodate their different customs, there was a public bathhouse.

After washing himself clean, he bought new bedding and toiletries.

—With the 1,000 Gold Soul Coins Beibei had given him, he couldn't exactly mistreat himself, could he?

Then he bought two portions of food and carried them back to the dormitory.

But Wang Dong was already gone, leaving behind only the lingering stench.

Huo Yuhao ate at the doorway, then rolled up his sleeves and charged into the dormitory.

Using Spiritual Detection, he scrubbed every corner clean.

The smell finally dispersed.

Huo Yuhao let out a breath.

Good thing it was gone.

If Wang Dong's fur mattress, soft cotton quilt, and the like had absorbed that smell, he would really have been in trouble.

Though he had won yesterday and did not need to follow any damn rules.

Deliberately stepping on someone's sore spot when he knew exactly what it was...

That was just asking for death.

He shut the door.

Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged again and was just about to begin cultivating.

"Didn't you learn your lesson?" Zhuge Lan said with a laugh.

Huo Yuhao smacked his forehead!

He jogged out of the dormitory and scanned the area in front of the building.

He locked onto the fixed NPC, "Old Grandpa on the Reclining Chair." There was an open patch beside him, downwind and far enough away not to stink anyone out.

He came to Mu En's side and politely asked, "Grandpa, may I cultivate over there?"

"Do as you please."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Huo Yuhao picked the spot farthest away, sat cross-legged, and began circulating the Yi Jin Jing.

Before long.

Mu En sniffed the air, gave Huo Yuhao a strange look, and his eyes flickered as though they had pierced through flesh and stared directly at the movement of Soul Power within.

Zhuge Lan noticed what he was doing but did not stop him.

The old man was reasonable. He would also become Huo Yuhao's teacher in the future, and more importantly, he would die soon enough and leave an inheritance behind.

It was only the incomplete first stage of the Yi Jin Jing. Let him look.

It could also help Little Yuhao secure some resources.

Sure enough.

Mu En's expression quickly turned solemn, and he immediately withdrew the light from his eyes.

After lying back down, he could no longer fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

—He had glimpsed someone else's great secret!

He had joined the Tang Sect in his youth and knew the Mysterious Heaven Skill as well.

But compared with what this little fellow was circulating right now, it was truly the difference between starlight and the bright moon!

Not only did it utilize more meridians, but its Soul Power circulated faster. More importantly, it could expel bodily impurities and improve one's innate foundation and talent!

He had never heard of such a miraculous technique!

Even someone at his level could benefit from it.

If it were promoted throughout Shrek Academy...

No!

As long as it was spread throughout the inner courtyard, Shrek would rise several more levels!

But...

It did not belong to him.

"The Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect..."

"I've never heard of it."

"Is it newly established, or is it like the Body Sect of old..."

At that thought.

Mu En could no longer remain lying down. He got up and headed toward Sea God Island.

This matter was far too important. It had to be arranged properly!

Beautiful Huo Yuhao! First Meeting with Xu Sanshi!

For ordinary people, cultivation was dull and tedious.

But if progress was visible to the naked eye, and the more impurities one expelled, the faster cultivation became.

Then it was truly addictive.

Huo Yuhao was exactly like that.

For two days straight.

Other than eating, he spent all his time cultivating the Yi Jin Jing in that corner.

Then, tonight, he broke through in one go, his Soul Power reaching level 12.

Rewrite Huo Yuhao's Destiny, +200 Luck Value!

Zhuge Lan fell into thought.

Did breaking through grant Luck Value?

Or was it because he had broken through earlier than he was supposed to, so he received Luck Value?

It did not matter.

With him as this new cheat, Huo Yuhao's breakthrough speed would only become faster and stronger than in the original story!

Outside, Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. He withdrew from his cultivation state and leaped two meters into the air.

Just as he was about to cheer, he remembered something and quickly covered his mouth.

Then he landed with deft force and carefully glanced at the old man on the reclining chair.

He had not woken him.

Good, good.

"Brother Lan! Brother Sky Dream! I broke through!" he announced excitedly in his heart.

"I know, I know. It's only level 12. You still have a long road ahead of you," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm dampened his spirits.

Huo Yuhao's joy subsided slightly, and he was just about to reflect on himself.
