Back in his small courtyard, Chen Lang took a bath, lay on his bed, and began reviewing his soul skills.

First Soul Skill, Sword Shadow Assault: When activated, the Seven Kill Sword glowed with a blue light, instantly increasing the user's attack speed by 200%. Within one second, he could unleash five consecutive fierce sword shadows, each dealing 120% of his base damage. A faint pull formed between the sword shadows, drawing enemies in and making it difficult for them to evade the follow-up attacks.

Second Soul Skill, Gale Severing Void: The Seven Kill Sword released a crescent-shaped sword aura wrapped in a blue gale. It flew at incredible speed, producing piercing air bursts everywhere it passed.

Upon striking a target, the sword aura created a small vortex of wind blades that continuously sliced the enemy while reducing their movement speed by 20% for five seconds.

Third Soul Skill, Void Splitting Sword Array: He plunged the Seven Kill Sword into the ground, causing a silver sword array to spread outward from the blade. Dozens of spinning Soul Power flying swords instantly formed within the array's range.

The flying swords automatically locked onto enemies and attacked. Each flying sword dealt 120% of his base damage. The sword array lasted five seconds, and enemies entering it had their movement speed reduced by 30% while suffering continuous attacks from the flying swords.

Fourth Soul Skill, Army Breaker Slash: Upon using this skill, he immediately entered a three-second state of super armor. During that time, he ignored all control effects such as stuns, restraints, and pulls, launching his slash with unstoppable momentum.

The slash dealt 300% of his base damage and could shatter defensive skills weaker than his own Soul Power. It also inflicted an "Army Breaker" mark on targets it hit.

For the next five seconds, marked enemies took 25% more damage from the user's other attacks and had their movement speed reduced by 20%, greatly weakening their combat ability.

That was right—Chen Lang's four soul skills were all offense-focused killing skills!

As the Martial Soul known as the continent's foremost killing Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword had already decided Chen Lang's future path.

All nine of his soul skills would be offense-focused killing skills.

In his words, no matter what kind of soul skill you had, he would cut it down with one sword!

If one sword was not enough, then two swords!

And if two swords still were not enough, he would turn around and run.

Hehe.

Pulling his thoughts back, Chen Lang opened the system interface and began drawing his Prismatic Hextech.

Eleven years from now, when he turned twenty, Spirit Hall would launch a nighttime raid on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He only had eleven years left!

Within those eleven years, he had to at least reach the rank of Titled Douluo. Tang San was only around level sixty at the age of twenty, so Hextech was his trump card for defying fate.

Of course, he could choose to ignore it, but he knew his grandfather's character. As long as Ning Fengzhi did not turn against them, Sword Douluo could never stand by and do nothing.

With only one Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, Chen Lang simply could not save them. Even if he set up an ambush in advance, it would be futile before Spirit Hall's overwhelming strength.

Therefore, his cheat, the Hex System, was the key!

"I hope you won't disappoint me, little system."

As Chen Lang looked at his three chances to draw Hextech, anticipation flashed in his eyes.

He immediately tapped the draw button.

In an instant, three Silver Hextech options appeared on the system interface before him.

The first one.

Silver Spoon: Immediately gain 10 levels of Soul Power.

"The effect is decent enough. If this appeared when I was a Titled Douluo, I'd definitely pick it without hesitation. But I'm only a Soul Ancestor right now. Wasting one Hextech on ten levels of Soul Power isn't worth it." After thinking it over, Chen Lang looked at the second one.

War Spoils 1: When a soul beast is killed, increase the Soul Bone drop rate by 25%!

"Holy shit, a 25% increase in Soul Bone drop rate? This actually seems pretty good!" Chen Lang's eyes lit up with delight.

One had to know that Soul Bones were extremely precious on Douluo Continent.

The chance of obtaining a Soul Bone by killing a soul beast was extremely low. Only soul beasts over one hundred thousand years old had a 100% chance of dropping a Soul Bone upon death.

Tang San only got them so easily because he had the protagonist's halo. Otherwise, ordinary people could only obtain Soul Bones through sect inheritance, by having enough money to buy them at an auction house, or through things like winning a soul master tournament.

So Chen Lang was tempted, because Soul Bones were incredibly expensive. Still, he suppressed the urge and looked at the third Hextech.

Featherweight 1: Soul Power cultivation speed increased threefold, soul skill power increased threefold!

"Everyone, get on your feet!"

The moment Chen Lang saw the third Hextech, he shot up from the bed, his face filled with excitement.

He had never imagined there would be Hextech that increased Soul Power cultivation speed!

Though it was only three times faster, Chen Lang had played Golden Spatula before and knew that Featherweight Fighter came in tiers 1, 2, and 3.

In other words, if he could obtain the Prismatic Hextech Featherweight Fighter 3, his Soul Power cultivation speed would become even faster!

It might even reach ten times the speed!

And it also tripled the power of his soul skills. Did he even need to think about it?

He truly did not care for low-level Soul Bones, while one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones had a guaranteed drop rate anyway. If he had been born into a poor family, he might have chosen War Spoils 1 to make money.

But he already possessed five million Gold Soul Coins and did not lack money at all. There was no need to choose War Spoils 1.

After all, Hextech like Featherweight 1, which could benefit him for his entire life, was the best choice in his eyes.

Once his Soul Power cultivation speed increased, those eleven years would not seem nearly as short as he had imagined. He would still have time.

With that thought, Chen Lang made his choice without hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Silver Hextech Featherweight 1. Soul Power cultivation speed increased threefold. Soul skill power increased threefold!"

Hearing the system prompt in his ears, a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Lang's face.

With this Hextech strengthening his soul skills, he could be invincible among opponents of the same rank below Titled Douluo in a one-on-one fight.

Because he also had Twin Martial Souls!

As long as his cultivation speed was fast enough, Tang San would not be able to catch up to him.

"If only some Hextech could give me another badass Martial Soul."

Chen Lang could not help sighing to himself.

Then his eyes suddenly lit up. If he got Chosen Pair or Person of Destiny, would he gain another Martial Soul?

"Golden Spatula's Hextech tiers go from Silver to Gold to Prismatic Hextech. Why have both of my draws been Silver?" Chen Lang suddenly noticed the key issue.

It was not that Silver Hextech was bad, but compared to Gold and Prismatic Hextech, there was still a gap.

"Forget it. I can't be bothered thinking about it. People should learn to be content." Chen Lang was that kind of person. If he could not figure something out, he could not be bothered to dwell on it.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to Slack Off.

Some things, if you did not have them from birth, would be difficult to obtain in this lifetime.

Of course, hard work could sometimes defy fate, and Slacking Off had its own way of living. Everyone had their own choice.

Allow others to be themselves, and allow yourself to be yourself.

Shaking his head, Chen Lang began drawing his third Hextech!

He remembered that Silver Hextech also had several absolutely broken options!
