Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 177 A Scoundrel Gets a Big Loss! A Generous Reward! [Bonus Chapter - For "God Barbatos"]

Huo Yuhao could tell without even thinking that this was absolutely true.
"Is it revenge from that little bastard in the sky?" Wang Dong'er said with certainty, "Just now I felt something break on my body, just like your methods, Brother Lan?"

Zhuge Lan glanced at Wang Dong'er with surprise.

"It seems you've gained quite a few hidden benefits after taking full control of the body."

"That's right, I left a little trick. It won't be triggered by ordinary mental power. It will only break the warning when it encounters mental power of demigod level or above."

Demigod level!

Even Mu En needs to borrow the power of the Ice God's faith to achieve this, so why would he need to go into overdrive and scan Wang Dong'er?
Therefore, it can only be the consciousness of a deity.

When Tang Shenwang learned that his daughter had been "cut up," he was enraged and naturally wanted to retaliate.

Mu En and Zhang Lexuan are not only the strongest fighting force in Huo Yuhao's current camp, but also the selected future gods.

They were granted divine guidance and a brilliant strategy.

"So what is the content of your first divine test?" Zhuge Lan asked. "Kill Xiao Yuhao? Disband the Ice God Temple? Or forcibly escort Wang Dong'er back to the Haotian Sect?"

That's all the tricks a petty scoundrel can pull.

But what he didn't expect was...
Both Mu En and Zhang Lexuan shook their heads.

“I did not accept the divine test of the Butterfly God.”

Zhang Lexuan spoke first—

"Putting aside the fact that it was only a second-level deity, it was completely incompatible with my attributes."

"Moreover, I haven't had any breakthroughs or insights recently, so this all seems too strange."

"But after I refused, the so-called Butterfly God still forcibly brought down the divine test. The first test was to disband the Ice God Temple. Success would grant the Butterfly God a 10% affinity, while failure would result in annihilation."

Zhuge Lan marveled.

That's the stingy style of a petty scoundrel; he'll ask you to do something and won't give you any benefits, he'll just take it all for free.

Moreover, the position of Butterfly Goddess was prepared for Tang Wutong. If Zhang Lexuan were to be bewitched and follow Him, her only fate would be to fail the divine test and perish.

He is a loyal person.

"Isn't that too stingy?" Huo Yuhao complained. "My fallen Ice God at least gave me an Ice God Soul Ring that can increase my lifespan, a divine skill that is unbreakable at the same level, and a wisp of divine consciousness to save my life."

"And the word 'Butterfly Goddess' sounds like it's a deity..." Wang Dong'er didn't finish her sentence, pointing to the ground beneath her feet.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er instinctively looked at Zhuge Lan, who nodded in agreement.

You guessed right!
The couple exchanged a glance and looked at Zhang Lexuan with relief.

Thankfully, Sister Lexuan wasn't fooled, otherwise she would have been in big trouble!
"It's about the same on my end."

Moon sighed—

"If it were before, I would definitely have been tempted."

"But just like Yuexuan's reason, I have no breakthrough or enlightenment today, also because my Condensation level keeps dropping."

“But I refused, and the God of War still used the excuse of my merit in guarding Shrek Academy to forcibly impose a divine test.”

"The first test is to bring Wang Dong'er back to Haotian Sect, and it must be done completely. If you succeed, you will gain 10% War God Affinity; if you fail, you will be eliminated."

"brush--"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm jumped out, its face full of anger.

"Isn't this God of War Yuhao's ancestor?"

"He actually helped that worthless bastard to deal with his own descendants?"

"There's something wrong with you!"

The other spirits also floated out, all with indignant expressions on their faces.

These ancestors are so despicable!
"That's normal, after all, you became a god through Tang Shenwang's connections." Zhuge Lan said matter-of-factly, "So, you two, come here to be honest, what are you planning to do?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Mu En, who shook his head helplessly.

"This divine test has been forcibly brought down, and we don't know how to deal with it."

"I humbly request Your Excellency Electrolux to offer some guidance!"

— Here, Electrolux refers to the "Necromancer Saint God" that Huo Yuhao fabricated.

Huo Yuhao activated the mind sharing feature.

[Huo Yuhao: Brother Lan, what do we do? Should we cooperate and put on a show?]

[Zhuge Lan: Do you really think everyone in the world is blind? Don't worry, I've checked, it's easy to handle.]

The so-called divine examination.

It's like a deity has chosen a successor, so according to the "succession process," they set up a test, along with rewards and punishments, and then passed it on to that person.

To put it simply, it's just a "program".

而.
To run a program, you naturally need energy!
-

Condition: Extract energy from Mu En and Zhang Lexuan's divine test!
Cost: 100 million Luck Points!
To create or not to create?

50 luck points per person is quite expensive.

Zhuge Lan is determined to protect these two!
create!
With 100 million luck points deducted, the divine test marks between Mu En and Zhang Lexuan's brows flickered erratically, like an old, malfunctioning light bulb.

Under an inexplicable pull, it detached from between the eyebrows and transformed into two streams of light, one golden and one pinkish-blue, which settled on Zhuge Lan's raised palm.

"Xiao Yuhao, bring two sets of the core modules for the Conferred God Platform," Zhuge Lan shouted.

"immediately!"

Huo Yuhao first took out a piece of rare metal and had Wang Dong'er melt it with extreme fire.

He then took out the level eight core module and used it to create two sets of 24 soul-guiding arrays in an assembly-line manner.

Extreme Ice made two sets of molds, poured Wang Dong'er's melted metal into them to cool and solidify, and then embedded the core modules one by one.

Two low-end versions of the Conferred God Platform have been completed.

Zhuge Lan sealed the golden and colorful light streams into them, and after they were sealed, they transformed into small balls the size of fists, which he casually tossed to Wang Dong'er and Zhang Lexuan.

"The divine consciousness of two second-level gods is slightly weaker than the remaining wisp of the Ice God, but it is still enough to kill a Limit Douluo."

"If you encounter an enemy you can't beat in the future, just unlock it and smash it in."

The two women froze as they caught the ball!
Zhang Lexuan was, after all, "meritorious informing," so it was only right that she received the reward.

But Wang Dong'er felt it was too hot to handle and thought of handing it over to Huo Yuhao.

"Dong'er, have you forgotten? I won't die," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Wang Dong'er quickly handed it to Mu En.

“I am already a demigod, what use do I have for this?” Mu En also refused with a smile.

Wang Dong'er looked at Zhuge Lan, who was about to refuse three times when she put away the Conferred God Platform.

"Brother Lan, you are incredibly resourceful, you don't need these little tricks."

"Hey!" Zhuge Lan said with a smile, "You're not being polite with me, but whatever, it's your man's savings anyway."

Wang Dong'er was puzzled, but Huo Yuhao just smiled sheepishly.

It's just 100 million luck points; even without those two powerful weapons, he would be happy to pay.

Not to mention.
[Rewrite the fates of War Gods Dai Mubai, Mu En, Zhang Lexuan, and Wang Dong'er, +25 Luck Points!]

This includes the luck value of two "divine bombs".

But where is the Butterfly Goddess?

Zhuge Lan was even happier, having earned 25 without spending a single penny.

When I'm in a good mood.

He raised his hand and dumped all the information about the true form of the Martial Soul Bone Armor onto Mu En and Zhang Lexuan.

Anyway, both of them already have a full set of soul bones and divinity, right?
"Le Xuan, do you have a complete set of soul bones?" Zhuge Lan asked.

“I’m missing a piece of my left arm bone,” Zhang Lexuan said truthfully.

Tsk!
Zhuge Lan glanced at Mu En and thought, "You're not a good parent."

"Ahem!" Mu En said awkwardly, "Of course we have prepared, but the lifespan is only 5 years, which is no longer suitable for Le Xuan now. I was thinking of waiting to see if there would be a more suitable one."

“That’s a bit low,” Zhuge Lan nodded.

He thought about it for a moment.

Today, Mu En and Zhang Lexuan also expressed their determination to completely oppose the gang of scoundrels.

However, the true form of the Martial Soul Bone Armor is not quite enough.

Moreover, they are all future deities and deserve to be nurtured.

"Do you carry that soul bone with you?"

Mu En took out a piece of ice-white left arm bone and handed it to Zhuge Lan.

Zhuge Lan activated the [Creation Permission] and spent 5 Luck Points to upgrade it to 10 years. The previously somewhat imperfect shape was instantly completed.

That sudden change in aura was undoubtedly from a 10-year-old soul bone!

This is not over yet.

Zhuge Lan glanced at the soul bones on Mu En and Zhang Lexuan, both of which were over 5 years old.

This is already extremely high quality across the entire continent.

A set of 50,000-year-old soul bones is considered a valuable inheritance in a sect like the Haotian Sect.

However, Zhuge Lan still wasn't satisfied and spent 37 luck points to upgrade both of their soul bones to the 10-year level.

[Rewrite the fate of Mu En and Zhang Lexuan, +24500 Luck Points!]

Not bad. Spending Xiaoyuhao's money to replenish her own savings.

awesome!
As the owners, Zhang Lexuan and Mu En naturally noticed the change immediately.

This incredible skill not only shocked them but also strengthened their resolve to stand with the Necromancer God.

—That damn exam over there, the rewards are ridiculously stingy, and if you fail, it'll really kill you!

Unlike here.

10-year-old soul beast blood sacrifice, soul spirit, demigod, martial soul bone armor true body, soul bone age increase!
If there are benefits, they really will be given!

"You did a good job this time." Zhuge Lan promised, "Keep up the good work, and once you've accumulated enough merit, I'll upgrade your soul rings to 10 years next time."

"Yes! Your Majesty, Demigod!" ×2
At this moment, the word "loyalty" was firmly engraved on the foreheads of Mu En and Zhang Lexuan!
"Le Xuan, go ahead and get busy. Mu En, stay behind."

Zhang Lexuan responded and slipped out the window.

"Mu En, teach Xiao Yuhao the theory of soul cores." Zhuge Lan instructed, "Xiao Yuhao, don't rush to condense your spiritual soul core. Just test it as you like."

If it explodes, we can just revive it.

Now that there is a second spiritual world, and it is based on the physical "Life Carving Knife", even if Huo Yuhao explodes on the spot, the souls can temporarily hide inside.

There's absolutely no problem holding on until Huo Yuhao is resurrected.

Huo Yuhao was used to it.

Wang Dong'er also thought of this, but her expression remained strange.

Only Moon, who was unaware of the truth, hesitated to speak, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Zhuge Lan had no interest in explaining; let Xiao Yuhao worry about it himself.

"You guys take your time learning here, and while you're at it, call those outside in to teach them too. I'm going out for a stroll."

Zhuge Lan also flew away through the window.

He bumped into Ma Xiaotao as soon as he came out.

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't use the door!" Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, her face full of smugness.

Zhuge Lan remained completely calm and even stepped aside.

Ma Xiaotao realized something was wrong, but before she could speak again, she heard a voice say "Come in and listen to the lesson," and was pulled through the window by a powerful force.

Goodbye!

Zhuge Lan happily flew outside and stretched comfortably.

These past few days I've been scheming around, and now that the mobile surveillance on Wang Dong'er has been removed, I can finally relax a little.

"Let me try what delicacies the Star Luo Empire has!"

"Well"

"Let's find someone who knows how to eat first."

Zhuge Lan's eyes swept across the street, deciding who to shower with money.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure.

The other person also noticed him and greeted him with a surprised smile.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Lord Zhuge. Did you gain anything from your seclusion this time?"

"Princess Jiujiu, then it's you." Zhuge Lan asked, "I want to try the authentic local cuisine of Xingluo Capital. Could you please recommend some?"

He was stunned for a long time.

With such a beautiful woman right here, you're only thinking about food?

But thinking of how respect Huo Yuhao showed to Zhuge Lan, Xu Jiujiu immediately smiled.

"You'll find out eventually, but are you sure you want to eat it all?"

"Yeah, my body digests quickly."

"Alright, please get into Jiu Jiu's carriage."

"If it tastes good, I'll increase your sales by 10%."

"You will be absolutely satisfied!!!"

As a princess, Xu Jiujiu certainly wouldn't know anything about eating outside.

But as a princess, she didn't need to understand it herself.

They urgently mobilized the Star Luo royal family's resources to compile a "food ranking list," and led Zhuge Lan to sweep through each restaurant one by one.

They also made sure to prepare entertainment programs, beautiful women and fine wines, and unique customs.

Zhuge Lan enjoyed himself to the fullest.

of course.

This isn't because he's indulging in pleasure; it's to broaden Xiaoyuhao's horizons.

Ah!
Correct!
That's it!

"The first match of the round of 16 to the quarterfinals—"

"Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy VS Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

"Both sides, please enter the arena for the draw!"

When Xiao Xiao excitedly ran onto the stage, Huo Yuhao was already standing on the Soul Battle Platform.

He pulled out the same recliner as Moon and lay down on it.

He pulled out the microphone-like soul tool prepared by Zhuge Lan from his pocket and recited the lines Zhuge Lan had pre-programmed—

"Seven days of seclusion yielded some results."

"Unless you're lucky enough to draw 223 today, I'll be the one to defeat seven of you."

"Like I said before, if you can make me even move, Shrek will admit defeat immediately."

Arrogant!

Too embarrassing!

The seven regular members of the Douling Royal Academy glared at each other and shouted at each other from a distance.

"You're just a five-ring Soul King, and we have five of us!"

"You're just a Soul Master, how dare you bark like a dog?"

"It's just a soul tool, everyone has one!"

"Wait until Shrek admits defeat, then let's see how you take responsibility!"

The weird thing is.

The harsher the Douling Royal Academy's insults, the happier Huo Yuhao laughed.

It's as if he has some serious illness.

But the truth...
[Rewrite Lu Bu's Luck Value: +88!]

[Rewrite Cao Cao's story. +233 Luck Value!]

[Rewrite Sima Zhao's luck value by +66!]

With such a continuous stream of luck points coming in, how could one not be happy?
Forget about the insults, just treat it as opera!

He got so angry and frustrated while yelling at the people from the Douling Royal Academy!

"I'll report it!"

"The Shrek Academy students went on stage before the competition even started; they must have secretly arranged something!"

"I demand that he be removed from the stage first, and then allowed to go back on after the referee announces the start of the game!"

This is because they can't verbally abuse Huo Yuhao, so they're just trying to annoy him.

but.
The host picked up another microphone—

"Both teams, please enter the arena!"

Ok!

They entered before the lottery even started?
This is blatant bias!

But the host said – this was all arranged by higher-ups, and he couldn't afford to offend them!

no way.

The students from the Douling Royal Academy could only go on stage cursing and swearing.

The lottery results have just come out.

——Seven vs. seven team battle!

It's not the 2-2-3 strategy.

"Yo, perfect, we've taken care of this in one go." Huo Yuhao rocked back in his recliner, comfortably closing his eyes, and said, "You guys should have discussed your tactics by now, but I still have to say—I'll let you go first."

"Hmph! Don't be so smug!" Gu Zhujian, captain of the Douling Royal Academy, said, "You still have a chance to let your teammates..."

"No need," Huo Yuhao interrupted, "We can begin."

"Alright!" the host announced, "Please activate your Martial Souls!"

"Buzzing—"

All eight of them activated their martial souls and soul rings at the same time, but their eyes were only focused on Huo Yuhao.

only because--

Red, red, red, red, blue gold, blue gold, blue gold!
Seven Rings, Soul Saint!!!
