The Body Sect's gym, with only two people inside.
"Senior Brother Ano... why does my head look so pointy...?"
Huo Yuhao said this to the mirror.
Beside him, the burly man felt his own smooth, round, giant-bulb head and rumbled:
"Then let me ask you... are... are you a guy or a girl?"
"I'm a boy, Senior Brother... I'm just not as strong as the other senior brothers in the sect."
Huo Yuhao stopped ruffling his hair and tossed the mirror into the corner, figuring the mirror had to be the problem.
"Sigh... Senior Brother, do I really have no talent?"
He looked at his still pale, young, and skinny body, then at Ano's build, with arms thicker than his own thighs.
He fell into deep self-doubt.
"Well, you really are a lost cause, Yuhao. This strong physique of mine is completely natural."
"I don't even drink protein powder. I only have a little protein powder when I train."
"..."
Huo Yuhao gave a few wry laughs, not taking the words of the senior brother who treated him so well to heart.
After every Nine Dragons training session, Senior Brother Ano would fall into a spell of mental confusion like this.
People in the sect said:
The left brain said nothing, only thinking.
The right brain said nothing, only arguing back.
The pointy head loved to talk, only asking you questions.
The Body Sect's rules of terror: if you see Ano injecting drugs, stay away.
"Sigh..."
Suddenly!
Thump, thump—!!
His heart pounded violently, and Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He panted like an ox.
The stabbing pain in his heart appeared in an instant, then vanished just as quickly.
But in that brief instant, Huo Yuhao was drenched in sweat and wracked with pain.
"Ugh, ah!!"
His scream briefly brought Ano back to his senses. The usually honest senior brother's pupils contracted sharply!
Ano was stunned by Huo Yuhao's pale face and the sweat pouring off him.
But he quickly reacted.
This was clearly what happened when you injected too much!
Sigh! I told you not to go so hard! Just because you've got a high drug tolerance, you think you can inject without restraint.
Ano flipped his hand, and a blue potion appeared out of thin air.
"Brother Xu said that if this happens in the sect, you should first inject a shot of 'Body Speed Limit,' then..."
As he spoke, he jabbed Huo Yuhao in the kidney with one shot after another.
The effect was immediate!
Huo Yuhao screamed even louder...
"Another shot for the pain..."
A shot of dark green potion went in, and the screaming stopped.
"And one more to strengthen you..."
Ano pushed a milky-white potion into Huo Yuhao's body. The latter shuddered violently, then sprang back to life!
The pain had already been fleeting.
He'd kept screaming because the terrifying sensation had frightened him and set off a panic response.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ano... I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to me either..."
What... is this? Why is it clinging to me!!! What did I do wrong?
Goddammit!! I f***ing hate this!!!
A trace of blackness flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a hint of impurity stained his clear Spirit Eyes.
No one noticed that the fortune above his head, which had previously fallen by half, suddenly surged wildly!!!
Only... it wasn't the pure gold it had been before.
Instead, it was a riot of colors, with even the faintest thread of blood mixed in.
Heh heh heh. By this point, he had completely lost his three great opportunities.
But because of the Body Potion, because of Xu Qing, and because of a few twists of fate...
His once-exhausted potential had unlocked another category...
His fortune had returned to normal as well—or at least, it looked that way.
(False Child of Fortune) Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his cultivation speed increase. He could see more clearly and hear more clearly.
"So this is the power of 'Body Speed Limit,' Yuhao? You really scared me just now."
Ano wiped away his cold sweat and said slowly:
"I'm glad you're all right. Don't go injecting drugs recklessly again. You have to stick to the rules: train once a day, drink once every two days, inject once every three days, and let loose once every five days."
"Got it?"
Huo Yuhao was so blissed out that he felt like he had endless strength.
"I'm going to train!!"
"Ahhh!!"
He grabbed the dumbbell on the floor and ran wildly around the gym.
"So this is youth..."
The Divine Realm.
Having just sensed the Child of Fortune's luck decline, Little Scumbag prepared to abuse his authority and take a peek at Douluo Planet.
But just as he took out the God Realm Hub—
Well, would you look at that?
It had gone back up again!
"I was going to split off some of my consciousness and see what was going on, but it looks like there's no need now."
"My daughter should have met the Child of Fortune by now, heh heh ha ha."
Thinking this, Tang San's gaze pierced the clouds and the barrier around the Divine Realm, settling on a planet in the universe.
"Let me see if the backup plan I left on Xiao Qi has activated. If I hadn't artificially created a soul compatibility between the two of them, how could a butterfly and an eye possibly have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"And without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, how could a little runt like Huo Yuhao form a bond with Xiao Qi?"
Just as Tang San's divine sense was about to touch the planet's barrier, a tremendous boom rang out!
"Sea God!!"
The God of Destruction appeared out of thin air, purple-black divine power roiling around him, his face livid.
He had sensed the God Realm Hub being used just now.
"Gods must not interfere with the lower realm! Not even a God King can do that! Are you an idiot? Don't you know the rules laid down by the God Realm Committee?"
"I nearly forgot—you're a member of the God Realm Committee yourself!"
The God of Destruction was so angry he laughed. He pointed straight at Tang San and said:
"As an enforcer, you're committing the filthy act of guarding the henhouse while stealing the eggs! Aren't you ashamed!?"
Tang San reacted quickly. His face immediately showed just the right amount of surprise, as if he had suffered some terrible injustice.
"Destruction, I have my reasons..."
He paused, his voice laden with sorrow:
"I just... miss Xiao Qi so much. Destruction, as a father, can't I even look at my own daughter?"
"She's still so young, all alone in the lower realm. What if she suffers a grievance? Who can she tell? Who can she turn to for justice?"
"Sigh... And you call yourself Xiao Qi's uncle, yet you can't even understand that much."
Damn it, Destruction! You sure picked the perfect moment to show up!!
You came in the instant before I entered! I was this close to leaving behind a wisp of divine sense that could act freely!!!
You've ruined my grand plan! You've earned your death!!
Seeing Tang San bring up Xiao Qi, the childless God of Destruction turned purple in the face and fell silent.
That despicable Little Scumbag! He actually used Xiao Qi as a shield!
Do you think I don't want to? But no matter how much I want to, I still don't break the rules!
And weren't you the one who sent Xiao Qi to the lower realm in the first place?!
Only a few days have passed in the Divine Realm, and you already miss her unbearably? You're so lovesick you're tearing your hair out?
Don't make me laugh!
He'd almost lost his composure.
