Chapter 30: Awakening Electrolux! The Method of Mental Power Training!
Wait!
In a moment of distraction, the class monitor had become her junior grand-uncle?
While it wasn't exactly a forbidden romance, the generational gap was undeniable.
This...
"Waaah!" Xiao Xiao burst into tears. "Class monitor, I think I'm going through my first heartbreak!"
Huo Yuhao: ???
...
That night.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were embracing on the same bed, practicing the Yijin Jing together.
In the spiritual world.
"Brother Lan, what is so important that you needed me to be present?"
Zhuge Lan looked up at the sky.
"Naturally, it is to awaken your new golden finger."
Huo Yuhao looked at the gray-gold orb of light, his expression turning solemn.
That arrogant declaration of "Holding the sun, moon, and stars in my palm, there is no one in this world like me" was enough to prove that this person was far from ordinary.
"Are we really going to awaken him?" Skydream Iceworm asked, looking slightly worried. "Little Yuhao hasn't grown enough yet. What if this person comes with ill intentions..."
"It's fine," Zhuge Lan said confidently. "I haven't redeemed the Life Essence yet; my ammunition is fully stocked."
These words provided a great sense of security.
"Alright then, what do I need to do?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Just stand there," Zhuge Lan said casually. "He is only a remnant of divine consciousness, which is why he needed to sleep to recover. I am simply providing the supplement he needs."

Condition: Supply Electrolux with enough energy to awaken!
Cost: 4000 Luck Points!
Create?
--------------
Awakening him a few months early came with a hefty price tag.
But for the plans ahead, Elder Yi was essential.
Therefore—Create!
A massive amount of light points spilled from Zhuge Lan's body, converging into a stream that drifted into the sky and poured into the gray-gold orb.
Once it was all absorbed, the gray-gold orb shuddered and unfolded into a human form. He was dressed in a magnificent black robe embroidered with shimmering golden runes, holding a staff in one hand and a sword in the other. His handsome face carried an air of natural, unforced authority.
[Rewrote the fates of Huo Yuhao and Electrolux, +5000 Luck Points!]
Even a simple awakening yielded such a high amount of luck.
He was dazed for a moment before his gaze swept across the room.
He bypassed Skydream Iceworm, paused briefly on Huo Yuhao, and finally settled on Zhuge Lan.
"Although I have been in a deep slumber all this time, I have still been able to perceive things."
"Your abilities are truly miraculous, and that bold declaration from before suggests your origins are no less than my own."
"You didn't wake me today just to debate philosophy, did you? What is it you seek?"
Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs-up. Elder Yi’s insight was as sharp as a torch!
"I need to borrow your reputation to pull a few strings."
Zhuge Lan explained, "I intend to disguise myself to make contact with the people at Shrek Academy and build a mysterious background force for little Yuhao."
"But Mu En is a level 99 Peerless Douluo, the strongest in the world. To deceive his perception would cost too many Luck Points—it's better to spend them on restoring your strength instead."
"When the time comes, you won't need to do much; just release a sliver of your aura to mask little Yuhao's true essence."
Electrolux glanced at Huo Yuhao, who immediately returned a sincere smile.
Electrolux nodded in acknowledgment and, before Huo Yuhao could speak, looked back at Zhuge Lan.
"I have a question, and I hope you can enlighten me, young friend."
Zhuge Lan gestured for him to speak.
"Since you are willing to let little Yuhao confide in his roommate, why not lay all your cards on the table with his teacher?"
Asking such a sensitive question?
Even Skydream Iceworm and Huo Yuhao looked on with curiosity.
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment.
"Little Yuhao, go outside first. You shouldn't hear what comes next."
Huo Yuhao blinked.
He didn't understand, but he respected the request.
He bowed to Electrolux once more, exited the spiritual world, and threw himself fully into his cultivation.
"A good child," Electrolux remarked.
"Indeed, otherwise I wouldn't be here to help him," Zhuge Lan replied bluntly.
"My abilities are unique; I have glimpsed the past and future of everyone present."
"Skydream, your true form is of the Iceworm clan from the Far North, the snack of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. You luckily stumbled into a mine of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and grew to a million years by eating and sleeping, right?"
Skydream Iceworm nodded awkwardly.
Having his dark history brought to light was quite shameful!
"Electrolux, you are not a soul from this world. You were a powerhouse who refused to become a god, and before you died, your soul tore through space and was drawn here by the fluctuations of Skydream Iceworm's sacrifice, right?"
Electrolux's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"So my name is Electrolux. I haven't recalled these memories yet, but in general, that seems correct."
"So you've seen little Yuhao's future—is that man named Mu En not to be trusted?" Skydream Iceworm tried to deduce.
The result, naturally, was wrong.
"On the contrary, Elder Mu is very trustworthy."
"However, little Yuhao is special. He has been selected by a certain existence above the God Realm as a tool to solidify their rule, and a series of domestication plans have been arranged for him."
"I am not sure if that entity is watching the lower realm at this moment. You and Elder Yi can be exposed because you are likely just one link in that entity's design."
"But I cannot, because I am the variable."
"At least until I gain the ability to contend with them, I cannot reveal myself."
Both Skydream Iceworm and Electrolux were moved.
No one would be willing to submit if they knew their life had been manipulated.
"But I chose little Yuhao myself, and I sacrificed myself voluntarily!" Skydream Iceworm said, puzzled.
"But the timing of you breaking free from Di Tian's shackles could have been controlled," Zhuge Lan pointed out the stakes. "And do you really think you could have avoided the Heavenly Tribulations of the great beasts just by hiding underground? If so, the depths of the earth would have been a kingdom of great beasts long ago."
"Ah?" Skydream Iceworm exclaimed in surprise. "You mean to say, the fact that I was able to eat for a million years in peace... no! Could it be that the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow cave was deliberately guided to me?"
Zhuge Lan smiled without answering. Who knows?
But based on current analysis, the probability was very high.
"I understand," Electrolux said with interest. "Gods... they always love to toy with all living things. It seems this life will not be boring."
This counted as accepting Zhuge Lan's request.
The two of them and the worm continued to discuss their upcoming actions.
Once they had finished talking.
"By the way," Zhuge Lan said, "Elder Yi, I am planning to create a method for training spiritual power so that we can all grow stronger. Do you have any special requirements?"
"Oh? Create?" Electrolux asked, intrigued. "In my fragmented memories, there seems to be a god who possessed similar authority. Are you perhaps their reincarnation?"
"Who knows?" Zhuge Lan shrugged. "I am just me. My short-term goal is to assist little Yuhao in becoming a god and to take down that god who intends to manipulate him."
"A fine game. I shall participate," Electrolux smiled. "As for a method for training spiritual power, I should have mastered many in my previous life. If I can recover my memories, perhaps I can teach them to you."
Eh?
That seemed like a good idea.
"Let me check which one costs more."
--------------
Condition: A spiritual training method suitable for the level of Electrolux, with the effect of recovering and strengthening a remnant soul!
Cost: 5.5 million Luck Points!
Insufficient Luck Points, unable to create!
