Four Fate Star Soul

Two months later, in the lush forest, sunlight filtered through gaps in the leaves and fell upon the ground, forming dappled light and shadow.

Blade sat quietly beneath a towering tree, resting with his eyes closed. His body had mostly recovered already, but in order to observe himself more carefully, he chose to remain here for quite some time.

Although that harrowing battle had left him with some troublesome aftereffects, its bountiful rewards lifted his spirits considerably. This time, his Portrayal Progress had actually reached 17.78%! That meant he could draw the lottery as many as seven times.

Blade took a deep breath, sensing the vibrant Aura of life within the forest. Before long, he opened his eyes, a flicker of anticipation passing through them. Then, he began drawing the lottery in his mind!

Seven lottery draws, each one filled with suspense. Yet Blade was not particularly nervous. He remained very calm.

Within this mysterious forest, he had no idea what surprises he might draw. However, these seven draws would surely grant him unprecedented power and help him cut through thorns and brambles throughout his future journey.

Ding! The host used seven Lottery Chances!

As the system notification rang out, Blade remained calm. His fingers lightly tapped against his knee as he waited in silence.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: Endless Form Longevity (Extra Ability)! Skill description: Trace Ascension, Character Ascension 2. When Blade's current HP percentage is less than or equal to 50% of his maximum HP, the amount restored when he receives healing increases by 20%!

An unsurprised look appeared on Blade's face. This skill would undoubtedly offer him a chance at survival during critical moments.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: Swallow and Endure a Hundred Deaths (Extra Ability)! Character Ascension 4. After casting Infinite Sword Tree, if it hits an enemy target in Weakness Break, Blade restores HP equal to 5% of his maximum HP + 100.

Blade pondered it to himself. This ability made him more aggressive in battle while also improving his survivability.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: "A Blade's Edge, a Thousand Grudges" (Eidolon). While Blade is in Hell Transformation, his CRIT Rate increases by 15%.

A smile curled across Blade's lips. Obtaining this Eidolon elevated his explosive power in every aspect to a new level.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: "Tempered Steel, Frosted Edge" (Eidolon). Ultimate Skill level +2, up to a maximum of Level 15; Talent level +2, up to a maximum of Level 15.

Blade took a deep breath. This reward enhanced his strength across the board. His sword would become sharper, and his Talent would become even more exceptional.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: "Path of Rebirth, Spring for a Hundred Bones" (Eidolon). When the current HP percentage drops from above 50% to less than or equal to 50%, maximum HP increases by 20%. This effect can stack up to two times.

Surprise flickered in Blade's eyes. He found this Eidolon's effect rather interesting. His survivability in battle would be greatly enhanced.

Ding! Congratulations, host, Shu Hu's Grace (Talent) has increased by 2 levels!

Ding! Congratulations, host, Hell Transformation (Combat Skill) has increased by 2 levels!

Ding! Extra reward for this lottery draw: 70,000 Gold Soul Coins! Undying Embers: 1,400!

Ding! A probability event has occurred: Returning Customer Extra Reward: 25 million Gold Soul Coins! Undying Embers: 25,000!!

Ding! The shop has refreshed. Please check it yourself, host!

The system's cold voice swiftly finished its report in Blade's mind, leaving behind a trace of excitement. Having endured being Mara-Struck for some time, Blade's mood improved greatly at this moment. The Mara-Struck condition even seemed to have turned into konjac jelly. Blade took a deep breath and calmed himself. He knew that from this moment onward, his journey would become even more exciting.

He could not help but sigh inwardly. The system truly was generous. This time, it had directly completed his Eidolons. Including the ones from before, he had actually reached the scale of four Eidolons. Such power needed no further explanation. With a mere wave of his hand, he could feel that surging strength coursing through his body.

Blade's skill tree was constantly being lit up and strengthened, while his own power changed with each passing day, becoming so formidable it was hard to believe. Every skill upgrade brought his combat power to a new level. The feeling intoxicated him.

What surprised him most, though it also seemed expected, was the so-called Returning Customer Extra Reward.

The sheer abundance of that reward was simply jaw-dropping. Compared to the bonus rewards included with lottery draws, they were worlds apart.

Gold Soul Coins poured into his account like pies falling from the sky, and the Embers were the same. It was as though the system had opened its coffers, spending lavishly without the slightest stinginess.

Blade wholeheartedly approved of this. He even wanted to give this system a thumbs-up. Such rewards undoubtedly provided a solid material foundation for his next journey, allowing him to carry on with his tormenting work with greater Peace of Mind!

Before long, Blade gave his head a light shake and dismissed the system interface from his mind. His eyes slowly opened, settling on the Blue Silver Emperor beside him, which had grown considerably larger. Sunlight filtered through the treetops and shone upon the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves, reflecting patches of blue-green luster and making it appear full of life.

These past few days, he had been busy recovering and had hardly taken care of her. Unexpectedly, this Blue Silver Emperor had flourished quite well on her own. Blade smiled faintly, feeling a touch of admiration for the plant's tenacious vitality.

Without further hesitation, he drew Shizun's Sword from his waist and lightly sliced open his palm.

Blood immediately flowed out, but he paid it no mind. He swiftly sheathed Shizun's Sword, steadily held the Flower Pot against his abdomen with one hand, and kept the other still as he silently let his blood drip onto the Blue Silver Emperor's roots, continuing to nourish her with his abundant life force. All of this was to advance that crucial Portrayal Progress.

After completing this ritual, Blade rose to his feet, stretched his limbs, and set off for Holy Spirit Village. It had been some time since he had seen Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son.

At that thought, a teasing smile curled across Blade's lips. He was already growing impatient to see Tang San suffer a setback. After all, if Tang San did not encounter some retribution, how could Blade quickly advance his Portrayal Progress? And how could he completely eliminate the effects brought by that konjac jelly?

"Hehe, Tang San, can you feel it? I'm coming back again," Blade muttered, his voice carrying a hint of mockery and anticipation.

His steps were firm as his figure gradually disappeared down the forest path, leaving behind only a gentle breeze and the softly swaying silhouette of the Blue Silver Emperor.
