Chapter 6: First Practice of the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic! Visions for Development and Destiny Points!

Seeing Huo Yuhao in such a difficult position, Bei Bei, who was understanding, offered a gentle smile.

"I was just asking casually."

"By the way, what are your plans for the future? Will you return to your... Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect?"

At the mention of this, Huo Yuhao fell into thought. After running away from home, his only goal had been to obtain a soul ring; he truly had no plans beyond that.

"The Tang Sect has quota recommendations for direct entry into Shrek Academy. We can have Tang Ya recommend you," Zhuge Lan suggested.

"Shrek Academy? That number one soul master academy on the continent?" Huo Yuhao hesitated. "Such a precious quota..."

"The Tang Sect currently consists of only the two people you see before you. They are both Shrek students, so the quota would just go to waste otherwise."

"Is that so..."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head to ponder for a moment, then looked up, staring earnestly at Bei Bei.

"Brother Bei Bei, I want to join Shrek Academy to study, but my soul power level is quite low. Do you think there is a way?"

Bei Bei smiled. Excellent! Huo Yuhao was a talent, and he had been wondering how to lure him into the fold. Now, he had delivered himself right to their doorstep.

"No problem. My Tang Sect has the authority to recommend students. You can come directly to Shrek Academy with us."

"That would be wonderful," Huo Yuhao said gratefully. "Brother Bei Bei, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. I certainly won't refuse if it's within my power!"

"I won't be polite," Bei Bei laughed. "I have a few friends who are in dire need of your special abilities. When the time comes, I hope you'll offer a fair price."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, wanting to say that since they were friends, he could just take a look for free. But he immediately realized that this skill wasn't actually his to give.

"Brother Lan, about this?"

"Let them pay. It'll be a good way for you to earn some cultivation resources and save on Luck Points," Zhuge Lan replied.

Huo Yuhao nodded immediately. "Bring Brother Bei Bei's friends whenever you like; I will tell them everything I know."

"That's great," Bei Bei said delightedly. "Regardless, we definitely won't treat you unfairly."

Huo Yuhao didn't delay any further. After chatting for a few more moments, he sat cross-legged to recover his soul power. He was only at level 11, and the previous battle had nearly drained him completely.

"Your level is far too low. You need to step up your cultivation," Zhuge Lan remarked.

"I understand, Brother Lan."

Finally, the Skydream Iceworm could no longer contain itself. "Zhuge, what is that cultivation method of yours? Teach me quickly!"

"Here, take it." Zhuge Lan bundled up the 'Illusionist: Apprentice Tier (Fragment)' and shoved it into the Skydream Iceworm's mind.

After digesting it for a moment, the worm flew into a rage. "This secret technique requires spiritual power! I don't have any!"

"Quick! Awaken it for me too!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately chimed in, "Brother Lan, I want it too!"

"No problem," Zhuge Lan responded. "An awakening costs 100,000 Luck Points. Little Yuhao, you'll have to work hard to earn them."

Huo Yuhao felt a hint of doubt. He glanced at his balance of 5,000 Luck Points. 100,000? Then what about what Brother Lan just did for him... Perhaps it was because Brother Lan's own soul was powerful, so it cost less.

"I understand! Brother Skydream, don't worry, I will work hard to earn Luck Points!"

"Hmm... Brother Lan, how exactly do I earn them?"

"Simple," Zhuge Lan said. "As you work to become stronger, your luck will naturally increase, or you can defeat powerful entities, and a portion of their luck will be plundered by you."

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. "Then I will start by contemplating the Yi Jin Jing and strive to master it as soon as possible!"

A child worth teaching. "Contemplate away; my spiritual sense will stand guard for you."

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and threw himself into the contemplation.

In the mental world, the Skydream Iceworm shrank into the shape of a baby silkworm and flew before Zhuge Lan. Its eyes were filled with suspicion. "100,000 Luck Points? How much did you skim off the top?"

"Hey!" Zhuge Lan said, displeased. "It really is 100,000 Luck Points! If I'm lying, may my home explode!"

—The skimming had already been done during the initial split, so he wasn't technically lying.

The Skydream Iceworm was almost convinced. "Wait!" It came to its senses. "Your home? Isn't that Little Yuhao's mental world?"

"Haha, you're quick on the uptake," Zhuge Lan chuckled. "It does cost 100,000 Luck Points, and that's just for the seed. If you want more spiritual power, you'll have to convert it yourself."

The Skydream Iceworm stared at Zhuge Lan for several seconds. Ultimately, lacking evidence, it floated away, half-believing.

Zhuge Lan grabbed it and hauled it back.

"What now?"

"Help me cultivate," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "You have so much spiritual power, mind sharing a bit with me?"

This triggered bad memories for the Skydream Iceworm, and it struggled violently, zipping far away.

Zhuge Lan shrugged. Fine. If the Skydream Iceworm wasn't willing, he would just have to spend Luck Points to exchange for it.

The 'Illusionist: Apprentice Tier (Fragment)' did not contain methods to increase spiritual power. To be accurate, before reaching the Apprentice or even Domain Lord level, spiritual power was something that grew naturally through talent. Later, when he had an abundance of Luck Points, he could exchange for a cultivation technique that enhanced the soul and spiritual power, which everyone could use.

—The mental world was going to be very lively in the future.

'But I can't give it away for free.'

'From now on, anyone using my techniques must surrender half of their gains.'

'I really am so kind, hehehe—'

[Fate of Huo Yuhao rewritten, +1,000 Luck Points!]

Hm? Where did that come from?

A surge of spiritual power within Huo Yuhao's body made it clear. His soul power was circulating through his meridians, dispersing into his limbs and bones, while subtle impurities were being expelled from his pores.

The Yi Jin Jing!

This little guy was truly worthy of being the protagonist of this era, the target meticulously chosen by Tang the Buddha. He was gifted and capable of learning whatever was taught.

The absorption of the soul ring took two and a half hours. A thin gray film had accumulated on Huo Yuhao's skin—it was all the impurities expelled from his body. He rubbed his arm, and the gray film rolled into little strips.

Was this the culprit hindering his cultivation? And now, this Yi Jin Jing could actually expel them?

Doesn't that mean... even a piece of trash with 0.5 innate soul power could become a soul master if they could master the Yi Jin Jing?

"That is indeed the case," Zhuge Lan confirmed. "Actually, the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Technique has similar effects, but that old scoundrel Tang San was too secretive. Not only was he unwilling to share, but the version passed down in his own sect was a neutered one."

Huo Yuhao's impression of the Tang Sect and Tang San worsened even further.

"Brother Lan, then this Yi Jin Jing... can I pass it on to others?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

"Do as you please," Zhuge Lan said nonchalantly. "You could even print it into books and distribute them for free across the world."

So generous?

"Thank you so much, Brother Lan! On behalf of the soul masters of the Douluo Continent, I thank you!" Huo Yuhao said with excitement.

It was the Skydream Iceworm that sensed something was wrong.

"This kind of act that changes the fate of others should earn a significant amount of Luck Points, right?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I be crazy enough to give away such a good thing for free?" Zhuge Lan said as if it were obvious.

Huo Yuhao fell silent. Ah... this... hard to comment on.

"Little Yuhao, don't give it away for free either; that wouldn't maximize your benefits," the Skydream Iceworm advised. "Don't you have that Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect? Just make the technique a perk of joining the sect."

"That way, their luck will also gather toward you, the sect leader."

"Once you have more Luck Points, you can exchange for more techniques and feed them back to your disciples."

"This is called a virtuous cycle."

Huo Yuhao nodded in realization, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
