"???"

This was Lin Shu's first time checking the system panel.

He had never expected such an enormous surprise.

Lin Shu immediately saw that he actually possessed two Martial Souls.

One of them was the Langya Cauldron Martial Soul, his inherited family Martial Soul and one of the continent's top Tool Souls.

The other was a Martial Soul Lin Shu had never even heard of.

Time Cicada. The name sounded rather ordinary.

Yet what shocked Lin Shu was that this Martial Soul required Level 100 Soul Power to awaken.

Level 100 Soul Power—Lin Shu knew exactly what that represented.

The Langya Auction House could be considered a dominant force in its own right, so it naturally knew certain secrets.

Of course, they were not really secrets.

According to legend, once Soul Power broke through Level 100, one could hope to become a god.

During ancient times, traces of gods had existed on the Soul Master Continent.

Langya Prefecture, where Langya Hall stood, was rumored to have once been the domain of a god.

This Time Cicada Martial Soul actually required Level 100 Soul Power—meaning it could only awaken after one became a god.

That was simply too astonishing.

No one had seen any trace of a god on the continent for countless tens of thousands of years.

Lin Shu shook his head and looked at the other Martial Soul.

"Devouring Martial Soul?"

"What kind of Martial Soul is that?"

Lin Shu was somewhat puzzled.

Among the known Martial Souls on the continent were Beast Martial Souls, Tool Souls, and Plant Martial Souls.

But this Devouring Martial Soul—Devouring clearly did not belong to the Beast Martial Soul category, nor was it a Tool Soul, and it certainly was not any kind of Plant Martial Soul.

Why were each of his Martial Souls stranger than the last?

Although Time Cicada required Level 100 Soul Power to awaken, Lin Shu could at least tell that it should be a Beast Martial Soul.

The Devouring Martial Soul had a much lower awakening threshold, but why did it not belong to any known category of Martial Soul on the continent? It was truly strange.

"Forget it. Once this auction ends, I'll start working toward breaking through to Level 50. Then I'll find out what kind of Martial Soul this Devouring Martial Soul is!"

"Once the Devouring Martial Soul awakens, I'll be a dual Martial Soul wielder. I'll be able to leap straight into the ranks of the continent's greatest geniuses!"

Though the Langya Cauldron Tool Soul was a top-tier Martial Soul,

there were many top-tier Martial Souls.

Leaving aside Plant Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls, even among Tool Souls, the Seven Kill Sword and Clear Sky Hammer could rival it.

At the same time, there were some exceptionally rare Tool Souls that were no weaker than the Langya Cauldron Martial Soul.

They were merely obscure or only faintly renowned because so few people possessed them.

As far as Lin Shu knew, the Guardian Elder who had died alongside his father in that ambush possessed a Martial Soul in the form of a brush, known as the Thousand Autumns Pen.

After activating that Martial Soul, every character he wrote could transform into the most terrifying force of destruction or the most resilient force of defense!

Lin Shu had envied such a Martial Soul more than once.

Unfortunately, with that Guardian Elder's death, it was unknown whether such a Martial Soul still existed anywhere on the continent.

"But what does the notice on this system panel mean?"

Lin Shu could not help asking the system in his mind.

The system quickly gave its reply.

Within the system, items were categorized just as they were on the continent: Grades One through Nine, with Divine Grade above Grade Nine.

Since the system had lotteries, there were naturally probabilities.

Lin Shu had only obtained the system recently, so his chance of drawing a Ninth Grade item was merely one percent.

Last time, Lin Shu had obtained an Unlimited Grade 1 Soul Power Pill after only ten draws. His luck had been absurdly good, as that was a Ninth Grade pill according to the system's classification.

"One percent?"

Lin Shu was startled.

Why had the system not said so last time?

Still, it was fortunate that the system had not told him.

If it had, he really would not have been able to draw so casually. Ignorance truly was bliss.

"Wait..."

All of a sudden, Lin Shu seemed to think of something and asked,

"System, that's not right. That Summoning Card I drew directly summoned three hundred Title Douluo. That should be an extremely high-grade item, shouldn't it?"

"And the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone shouldn't be low-grade either, right?"

"Are you sure the chance of drawing a Ninth Grade item is only one percent?"

The system gave another reply.

Probability was merely probability. A one percent chance of drawing a Ninth Grade item did not mean that one would definitely obtain one after a hundred draws.

With good luck, one could draw Ninth Grade items several times in a row. With bad luck, one might fail to obtain a single Ninth Grade item even after a hundred draws.

Furthermore, the Summoning Card was a special item that did not belong to any category.

Therefore, it was not included in the probability calculations. If it had to be calculated, its probability might be one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred million.

As for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was only classified as Seventh Grade within the system.

A Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone was Eighth Grade, while a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was Ninth Grade.

"So what's the point of your lottery probabilities?"

"Either way, it all comes down to luck. Even if the probability is higher, it's still luck. What difference does it make?"

Lin Shu could not help complaining inwardly.

"Ding! Once the probability reaches a certain level, guaranteed rewards will become available!"

"With a ten percent probability, ten draws are guaranteed to yield one Ninth Grade item!"

"And so on. At a twenty percent probability, ten draws are guaranteed to yield two items!"

"If the probability of drawing a Ninth Grade item reaches fifty percent, there will also be a one percent chance of obtaining a Divine Grade item!"

"For every additional ten percent increase in the Ninth Grade probability thereafter, the probability of Divine Grade items will increase by one percent!"

"If the Ninth Grade probability reaches one hundred percent, every draw will definitely yield a Ninth Grade reward, while the probability of Divine Grade items will reach five percent. There will also be a guarantee: every hundred draws will yield at least five Divine Grade items!"

At that moment,

Lin Shu wanted nothing more than to drag the system out and beat it senseless.

So there was a guarantee? And it had claimed it was all based on luck.

Now that it put it that way,

Lin Shu was no longer sleepy.

Lin Shu hurriedly asked,

"System, what would I need to do, and how many Gold Soul Coins would I need, to directly raise the Ninth Grade probability to one hundred percent?"

"Ding! Host may click the notice to view the details!"

Without hesitation, Lin Shu clicked to view it.

The moment he saw the details, his face darkened.

This system was far too damn greedy.

Raising the probability from one percent to eleven percent—an increase of ten percent—

actually required ten thousand Auction Points.

After that, every additional ten percent increase required three times as many Auction Points as before!

"System, come out. Let me ask you something: do you know what exponential growth is?"
