Although the initiation ritual was very embarrassing.
If it were the old Wu Feng, she would rather die than go along with it.
But…
The Holy Flame Sect doesn't forbid same-sex love!
She looked toward Ning Tian, waiting for her answer.
Ning Tian's devotion surpassed her sense of shame.
She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and shouted loudly:
"Holy flame shining bright, holy flame blazing high, all disciples of mine, meow meow meow meow!"
Wu Feng immediately followed up:
"Holy flame shining bright, holy flame blazing high, all disciples of mine, meow meow meow meow!"
Her voice was even louder than Ning Tian's, drawing the attention of most of the crowd.
Seeing this, the Lan sisters resigned themselves and shouted as well,
"Holy flame shining bright, holy flame blazing high, all disciples of mine, meow meow meow meow!"
[Rewritten the destinies of Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, +3500 fortune points!]
Inside his spiritual world, Zhuge Lan was laughing happily.
The three rounds of noise drew strange looks from people around.
Ning Tian and the other three girls' faces turned beet red.
Yan Shaozhe's helpless voice came through,
"Aren't you all going to the Treasure Appreciation Event? If you're late, you won't make it."
Clearly, he found it embarrassing and was subtly shooing them away.
Ma Xiaotao made a funny face from inside, then summoned her wings and flew up.
Wang Dong also spread his wings and rose into the sky.
Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er each pulled out their flying soul tools, skillfully wearing them and flying upward.
Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo: "..."
Normally, flying soul tools required at least a four-ring cultivation to use.
But there were special "high-end models" that allowed soul masters to use them earlier.
However, as civilian-born soul masters, the sisters naturally couldn't afford them.
"Ehh—"
"Ah—"
The sisters exclaimed in surprise.
They suddenly felt an invisible force lifting them up by their feet, rising into the air together with Huo Yuhao.
"Don't worry, this is an ability from the mutation of my spiritual power." Huo Yuhao reassured them: "Sister Xiaotao, please lead the way. Let's go and come back quickly."
Those who had just learned about this trick of Huo Yuhao's were inwardly amazed.
How many abilities was this guy hiding?
As the group flew past the school gates, Lan Luoluo curiously pointed down.
"That looks like Zhu Lu. Why isn't she with Dai Huabin? Where is she going?"
Everyone looked and sure enough, it was Zhu Lu.
Her aura was visibly gloomy, hair hanging over her face as she ran desperately east toward Shrek City.
"She's clearly up to no good." Ma Xiaotao cracked her knuckles: "Little Yuhao, should I find an excuse to half-cripple her and throw her back at the Academy?"
"Just a stray dog, forget it." Huo Yuhao shook his head.
He didn't want to cause unnecessary killing.
Since Zhu Lu hadn't wronged him, there was no need to create new trouble.
Too bad it wasn't Dai Huabin. Otherwise…
Heh!
——
The Treasure Appreciation Event was a special exhibition held by the Gathering Treasure Pavilion for Shrek Academy, and it was divided into different levels.
Today's event was designated for inner court disciples, guaranteed to have at least one soul bone, with all kinds of other cultivation resources dazzling to the eye.
"So this one is for inner court disciples. Can we enter?" Lan Susu asked cautiously.
"You two definitely can't, at most you can wander around the outskirts." Ma Xiaotao revealed a token: "But Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao can freely enter and exit under my teacher's guarantee. Not only that, but we can also put purchases on the tab and let my teacher pay for them!"
Everyone: "..."
Huo Yuhao didn't even have to think—his senior brother definitely didn't know about this.
Forget it.
Just treat it as broadening horizons.
"It's only gold soul coins. You can get something for nothing."
Zhuge Lan said with a sly smile, "At the Treasure Appreciation Event, put up a quota for learning the first stage of the Muscle Transformation Manual. No need to join the Holy Flame Sect to learn it, but it can't be passed on."
"Set it as an auction, highest bidder wins. Guess who'll be competing for it?"
Huo Yuhao was still filtering through possible bidders.
The Skydream Iceworm had already jumped out.
"Idiot!
That day Zhuge disguised as a demi-god, and all those Titled Douluo saw it.
It's just that, because of their status, they couldn't all join the Holy Flame Sect.
"Now there's a chance to access a demi-god's cultivation method. Even if they can't use the first stage themselves, don't they all have juniors?
"There's only one quota. Even if everyone comes, only one gets it—they'll fight tooth and nail for it!
"And this is only the first stage. If they want the later stages, in the end, they'll still have to join the Holy Flame Sect.
"Zhuge, you're really too devious!"
Huo Yuhao's brow twitched. He hadn't expected there to be so many schemes hidden in it.
"Then… should I give it a try?"
"The main guest just arrived. Just say it directly." Zhuge Lan replied.
Huo Yuhao raised his head.
There he saw Elder Lin Huiqun smiling kindly.
Ma Xiaotao immediately rushed forward, clinging to her arm and acting spoiled.
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi and the others twitched violently.
Was this still the same violent Ma Xiaotao?
She actually knew how to act cute?
What the hell!
But Lin Huiqun clearly liked this act, and after just a few words, she agreed to let them all in.
Ma Xiaotao proudly raised her brow at the others.
Perfectly handled!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gave a slight bow.
"Elder Lin…"
"Ah, wrong seniority." Lin Huiqun interrupted: "Back in the day, Elder Mu even gave me some guidance. Unfortunately, my talent wasn't enough, so I wasn't accepted as a disciple."
Huo Yuhao's mind turned quickly. Status couldn't be used—so respect as an elder it was.
"Grandma Lin, I have something I'd like to consign."
He took out a book, its surface still shimmering with starlight.
This was something Zhuge Lan had created at the cost of 10 fortune points. As for its effect…
"Grandma Lin, this skill book contains the first stage of the Muscle Transformation Manual. Crushing it allows one to instantly grasp all its essence, far more effective than outside teaching.
"Those who master it may join the Holy Flame Sect, though it's not mandatory.
"But inside is a restriction set by Brother Lan. If anyone attempts to leak its contents, they'll suffer an attack from a strand of his spiritual power.
"I don't know how powerful it is exactly, but it's best not to try lightly—because that strand of spiritual power also marked as positioning."
Huo Yuhao spoke vaguely, leaving Lin Huiqun plenty of room to imagine.
Could a demi-god's backup measures be simple?
It was basically non-transmissible.
But whether it was instant mastery, or learning without joining the sect, both were great temptations.
Even…
"What about Taichi? Do you have any intention of selling that?" Lin Huiqun asked expectantly. "If it's restricted like this, then it's fine!"
The Muscle Transformation Manual was useless to Titled Douluo like them.
But Taichi was very tempting!
At this, Huo Yuhao fell silent, waiting for Zhuge Lan's instruction.
"Why not shear the wool that comes knocking at your door?" Zhuge Lan chuckled. "And besides, it's not about scarcity but inequality. If someone breaks through with Taichi, do you think the other Titled Douluo will sit still? When we release even more cultivation methods later, they'll be even less able to resist!"
Huo Yuhao's heart leapt with joy.
At this moment, he still had quite a bit of attachment to Shrek. Being able to help the Academy made him happy.
So he made up an excuse,
"Brother Lan once gave me a Taichi skill book. I was planning to use it if I couldn't comprehend it myself, but my talent was good enough, so I didn't need it.
"If you truly want it, Grandma Lin…"
"Yes! Of course we want it!" Lin Huiqun said excitedly. "How much is it? I'll buy it myself!"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips.
Wasn't she trying to keep it all to herself?
How could her offer possibly match an auction's price?
Just as he was thinking about how to respond, Ma Xiaotao cut in first!
Trying to take advantage of her Yuhao? Did she even ask her permission first?
