One Year Later, Three Consecutive Draws!

One year later.

Just after the morning sun rose, Xiao Tianyang sat on the roof, exhaling like a dragon.

Then, under his deliberate guidance, it flowed back into his nostrils with a deep breath.

At that moment, Xiao Tianyang felt as though the haze around him had been wiped away. Everything within a hundred meters entered his eyes at a glance, without a single detail missed.

"The steadily accumulated cultivation has finally paid off. The results really are astonishing!!"

Xiao Tianyang raised a hand and lightly clenched it, producing a muffled boom in the air. "I've finally reached the full state of Level 20!"

Over the months he had spent studying, once Xiao Tianyang no longer had academic pressure, he had basically had nothing left to worry about.

He studied at the academy in the morning, fought real battles in Soul Hunting Forest in the afternoon, and cultivated until dawn at night.

He mostly ignored matters at school, only occasionally treating himself during dinner.

Of course, he was not alone. Tang San and Xiao Wu were among those who came to mooch meals, along with Bubu, who never missed a dinner gathering.

Whenever he got bored, he would use some of the Lottery Points he had saved up to pass the time.

However, most of it was just for entertainment, and he hardly got anything good.

After picking through the pile of rewards, Xiao Tianyang had only found himself a pair of shoes. Everything else went to Bubu.

Treasure: Swift Boots

Function: Ever-Changing / Increases speed by 10%

Don't misunderstand. Ever-Changing only meant that they could take on the appearance of other shoes; it was not particularly useful.

At most, it satisfied Xiao Tianyang's desire for limited-edition trendy sneakers that he had only seen, but never gotten his hands on, in his previous life.

As for the 10% speed boost, it was better than nothing.

Besides, those had all come from lottery draws, so even if they were wasted, he would not feel too bad about it.

After all, he had spent the points to gamble. Winning and losing were both normal, and he had learned to take it in stride.

Xiao Tianyang turned his attention to the system interface in his mind and pondered silently.

Host: Xiao Tianyang

Physique: Pseudo? Immaculate Physique [Killing brings no karmic consequences; all things are drawn to him]

Strength Level: Level 20 [Soul Master]

Soul Skill: Myriad Transformation Flame

Soul Bone: None

Martial Soul: Scythe of Judgment [The symbol of life, the resting place of the dead], Ancient Spirit Eyes [Discerns loyalty and treachery, recognizes good and evil, sees through falsehood], Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire [Burns karma, cleanses sins], Spirit of the Flame [The fire of life, the spirit of all things], Three Thousand Blazing Flame [Three Thousand Starry Sky Body, immortal physique]

Specialty Attributes: Culinary Master, Firearms Grandmaster

Lottery Points: 3617

Xiao Tianyang was no longer surprised by those two additional entries.

After he completed the task several months ago and returned, the system interface had updated and added them.

What Xiao Tianyang was considering instead was something else.

"Recently, I've beaten every Soul Beast in Soul Hunting Forest that's over a thousand years old but under ten thousand. I've even pinned some of them to the ground and rubbed their faces in the dirt two or three times. This is as far as it goes."

"But the difference is really obvious. In the first month, I earned over a thousand points, more than double what I earned in all the months afterward combined."

Xiao Tianyang could not help clenching his fists. Returning to his room on the third floor, he silently said, "System, give me three Level 2 Draws!"

For a long time, he had held himself back from touching the Level 2 Draw, afraid he could not afford the losses.

But now that he had three chances, Xiao Tianyang refused to believe that none of them would give him something useful!

The familiar process began again. A roulette wheel appeared and started spinning.

This time, however, there were far fewer items on it, though everything was still blurry and impossible to make out.

Xiao Tianyang simply gave up trying and waited for the results.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, Host Xiao Tianyang. You have obtained the weapon Ebony and Ivory [Improved Version]!"

"Congratulations, Host Xiao Tianyang. You have obtained a Thirty Thousand Year Soul Bone [Abyssal Bull Ghost Right Arm Bone]!"

"Congratulations, Host Xiao Tianyang. You have obtained a Speeding Harley [Collector's Edition]!"

Xiao Tianyang, who had been holding his breath, could not help letting out a sigh of relief when he saw the results. "Thank goodness. At least I didn't lose out."

Three items lay before him: a pair of black-and-white pistols, a right arm bone resembling black crystal, and a Harley-Davidson whose appearance closely resembled the Softail Slim model.

Through the system interface, Xiao Tianyang learned the properties of the three items.

Weapon: Ebony and Ivory

Improved Effect: Requires no ammunition. Soul Power can be infused and converted into bullets. Effective range: within one thousand meters

Soul Bone: Abyssal Bull Ghost Right Arm Bone

Attached Skill: Abyssal Demon Claw [A demonic claw extends from beneath the enemy's feet, trapping them while inflicting a certain amount of damage]

Vehicle: Speeding Harley

Improved Effect: Can recharge itself in any environment. Travels a thousand li by day and eight hundred li by night. An essential item for traveling away from home

"The first two are actually fine, but the last one is kind of ridiculous. Is this an advertisement?"

Xiao Tianyang could not help complaining as he raised a hand and stored the Speeding Harley in the Nether Sea Ring.

It was definitely flashy, but he had no use for it right now. For someone in his current position, it was simply too conspicuous.

Next, Xiao Tianyang took out a long wooden box, placed the Right Arm Spirit Bone inside, and stored it in the Nether Sea Ring as well.

"Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead, but my first Soul Ring started at seven thousand years. No matter what, my Soul Bones have to be at least a hundred thousand years old. This is a matter of principle."

That was what Xiao Tianyang truly thought.

Finally, he looked toward Ebony and Ivory, something he had long been looking forward to.

"I have Firearms Grandmaster, but no suitable firearms. With these twin guns, I've solved my urgent problem."

"And Little San has hidden weapons while I have pistols. By all rights, that isn't excessive, is it?"

Xiao Tianyang reached out and took Ebony and Ivory in hand, and a familiar feeling surged into his heart.

At that moment, he could barely restrain the urge to fire them!

Xiao Tianyang knew that Firearms Grandmaster was causing this!

But in the end, he still held himself back. He did not know whether Miao Zhenshan was outside, and if he were discovered, he might not be suspected, but he would still have to do a lot of explaining.

Two words: troublesome.

After playing with them in his hands for a while, Xiao Tianyang put the twin guns away. At the same time, he thought, I need to draw up some drafts, make a trip to the tailor's shop, and have a belt and holsters made. That'll make them easier to use.

As soon as he thought of it, he acted. After searching around the house, Xiao Tianyang took out paper and pen and began drawing according to his ideas.

This was not difficult, really. After all, he had watched so many movies.

If he could not remember even that much, Xiao Tianyang would have been rather pathetic.

As for the materials, they naturally could not be ordinary, and he also had to take his age into account.

If he did not want to remake it later, he had better put some effort into it now.

"Perfect. This time, I've reached the full Level 20 and need a Second Soul Ring. It wouldn't be bad to put it all to good use after getting one."

Xiao Tianyang bit the end of his pen. After thinking of that, he cast aside the trivial matters and began drawing seriously.

Half an Hour later, six or seven discarded drafts had been thrown into the trash.

Xiao Tianyang held up the one he was most satisfied with in both hands and could not help nodding. "It's decided, then. It really was a pity that I didn't apply to a design academy back then."

Rolling up the design sketch and storing it in the Nether Sea Ring, Xiao Tianyang looked up at the time and cried out, "Oh no, I'm going to be late!"

With that, he quickly washed his face, rushed out the door, and sprinted down the road.

However, as he went downstairs, he felt as though he had stepped on something soft and fluffy.

"Awwooo!"

Not long after Xiao Tianyang left, a howl of utter misery echoed from inside the house.
