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

Chapter 24 Zhuge Lan arranges a meeting with Ma Xiaotao! Junior schoolmate Huo Yuhao?
"W-What dual cultivation?!" Wang Dong shouted, correcting him, "It's cultivation!"

"What's the difference? Aren't they both just two people cultivating?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head.

"Never mind that! Just focus on cultivation!"

"Oh."

Huo Yuhao wasn't a talkative person. He glanced around the bathhouse and found it was a maze of interconnected spaces with no suitable spots.

So he flew to the rooftop and began dual cultivation with Wang Dong.

This time, without the giant cocoon of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the amplification efficiency decreased, but it was still around 70%.

After an hour and a half of lunch break, Huo Yuhao looked like a "spotted dog," his body covered in black spots and emitting a pungent odor.

Wang Dong rubbed his body in disgust and hurriedly flew back to his dormitory to take a shower.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the bathhouse below, then at Wang Dong's departing figure.

The thought that she had only seen him taking a shower made her furious and embarrassed.

They definitely wouldn't be used to an open-style public bathhouse.

"You guessed wrong!" Zhuge Lan said cheerfully, "It's because Wang Dong can only go into the men's bathhouse, of course he won't come!"

"This idiot's reaction is really slow," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm complained. "A smarter person would have realized Wang Dong was a girl by now, right?"

"After all, she's only 11 years old, and she's still quite ignorant about the proper separation between boys and girls," Zhuge Lan said.

Conversation room.

After taking a shower, Huo Yuhao walked towards the classroom like a lotus emerging from the water.

A fiery red figure descended from the sky.

"Xiao Yuhao, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere." Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow and said, "You look even prettier after your shower. Why aren't you a junior in school?"

Huo Yuhao looked embarrassed and was speechless.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

With a wave of her hand, Ma Xiaotao revealed a pile of fruit as tall as a person in front of her. Their skin was grayish-brown and they exuded a grassy scent.

"Here, these are century-old Vajra Arhat Fruits, the best in Shrek's inventory. Here, have a share."

"My teacher has already sent someone to collect better ones, I'll give you a copy later."

"That's it, I'm going to cultivate now!"

It flapped its fiery red wings and flew away.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Huo Yuhao called out, "I want to recruit all my classmates into the Holy Flame Cult. Teacher Zhou asked me to talk to you about it."

Ma Xiaotao stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look any further—from his angle, he could see Ma Xiaotao's safety shorts under her short skirt.

Even with safety shorts, those long, white legs were still dazzling.

"Wow, Xiao Yuhao's grown up quite a bit," Ma Xiaotao teased. "Did the Holy Flame Sect give you a quota for recruiting so many people at once?"

"No, not at all," Huo Yuhao said sincerely. "It's just that the students are too physically weak, and I want to teach them the Yi Jin Jing, which requires them to join the sect."

A question mark slowly appeared above Ma Xiaotao's head.

Isn't it because she was exceptionally talented that she was able to learn the Yi Jin Jing upon joining the sect?
So this thing can be wholesaled at will?
"Are you sure it can spread this widely?" Ma Xiaotao asked again to confirm.

"Yes, that's right!" Huo Yuhao confirmed. "I've already gotten Lan Ge's permission."

"Brother Lan?" Ma Xiaotao seized on the key point: "Is that the superior who recruited you into the Holy Flame Cult? Did he come to Shrek Academy? Did he mention that he wanted to meet me?"

Huo Yuhao wanted to slap himself for letting it slip so quickly.

I was just thinking of an excuse.

"Promise her," Zhuge Lan said. "Tell her that I will have you summon her over in the next few days and leave her direct contact information."

Huo Yuhao relayed the facts as they were.

Ma Xiaotao took out a fiery red stone.

"After you infuse it with your soul power, throw it into the sky, and I'll be there within three minutes."

"As for your desire to spread the Yi Jin Jing, I'll ask my teacher when I get back."

"Is there anything else?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Ma Xiaotao turned and flew away, only daring to look up when she was far away. She put away the Vajra Arhat Fruit, but was stopped by Zhou Yi after only a few steps.

"Don't come to class for the next few days."

"Huh? Why?" Huo Yuhao asked anxiously, "Where did I do something wrong? I can change it!"

Zhou Yi really didn't expect Huo Yuhao to react so strongly.

"Don't worry, you're not wrong."

"It's to make you absorb the soul bone that Ma Xiaotao gave you first."

"By the way, tell Wang Dong that he doesn't need to come for the time being either. You have fused soul power that can help you absorb it faster and increase your compatibility."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again.

"Teacher Zhou, what is this soul bone?"

"Don't worry about absorbing it, there won't be any problems," Zhou Yi assured her. "Come see me after you've finished absorbing it, there'll be a surprise for you."

Huo Yuhao was still not entirely at ease.

After all, that's a soul bone!
It's a 5-year-old head bone, extremely rare!

Just absorb it like that.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately put on a stern face.

"What, you won't listen to what the teacher says?"

"no."

“Just go back and absorb it, do you think your teacher would harm you?” Zhou Yi admonished. “Being careful is a good thing, but you can’t lose your decisiveness!”

Seeing Zhou Yi's resolute attitude, Huo Yuhao could only swallow his worries.

"I understand, Teacher Zhou."

"Well, let's go."

"By the way, Teacher Zhou, I've already talked to Sister Xiaotao about the cultivation method."

"understood."

Saying goodbye to Zhou Yi.

Huo Yuhao turned and walked back to his dormitory, still struggling with his inner turmoil.

"Brother Lan, Brother Tianmeng"

"Hold your tongue back." Zhuge Lan cut off the conversation: "Do you know how much luck value it takes for me to materialize a 5-year-old soul bone?"

"This 10?" Huo Yuhao boldly hypothesized.

“It’s 5 luck points.” Zhuge Lan opened his palm: “1 luck point represents 1 year, which can be used to create soul bones and soul rings on an equal footing. So this Azure Spirit Illusionary Eye skull can be absorbed. If that Yan Shaozhe really dares to ask for it, we can just give him a new one.”

Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed.

what?
Is that all?
It should be noted that he and Zhuge Lan used 20 points of luck to awaken their spiritual power.

That would mean...
"Xiao Yuhao, you don't think 5 luck points is a small amount, do you?" Tianmeng Bingcan said with a sidelong glance, "The Yi Jin Jing, which changed your and Ma Xiaotao's fate, is only worth 5000 luck points."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples.

Yes!

The first stage of the Yi Jin Jing only requires 5000 Qi Luck Points.

My current balance is just over 2000 Luck Points.

Why would he think that 5 luck points is so easy?

It's because he's been receiving a lot of luck points lately that he's become complacent.
"I understand," Huo Yuhao said earnestly.

He exited the mental world, activated his mental detection, and rushed to his dormitory.

"Don't spread your mental energy out evenly like a fool." Zhuge Lan instructed, "Mental energy itself has a scanning function, and when combined with soul skills, it's even more powerful. By concentrating it into a fan-shaped or single-line scan, you can increase the straight-line distance and intensity."

Huo Yuhao obediently did as he was told.

Once the convergence was detected, the detectable radius instantly increased tenfold, soaring to over two hundred meters.

"what?"

　Wow! Is nobody watching? Am I playing a single-player game? Is this all the investment is worth?

　　Wuwuwu——
