Unexpected Joy!

As Tang San recalled, his hands unconsciously tidied his slightly wrinkled clothes. After a while, he apologized sheepishly.

"Sorry, I seem to have forgotten your name."

Forgotten?

He actually forgot?

They had interacted several times, with him practically pestering the other person, yet there wasn't a single impression.

Did extras not deserve names?

Were protagonists that amazing?

Xiao Yun was furious!

Just then, the system's blue light screen suddenly popped up.

[Congratulations to the host for befriending a top-tier friend, Friend Value from Tang San +10!]

[Congratulations to the host for befriending a top-tier friend for the first time, obtaining a Top-tier Martial Soul Lottery Ticket *1!]

?????

!!!!!

When Su Yun saw the words displayed on the panel, the anger in his mind vanished completely, and he was instantly stunned.

His first reaction was, as expected of a protagonist, giving 10 Friend Value points at once, more than all the other children in the village combined.

Then he felt something was wrong. They hadn't even said two sentences, how did they become friends?

He knew that the other person had been indifferent to him the past two days. What was the reason for this?

As Su Yun pondered, he inadvertently glanced at the river. The exquisite little girl reflected in the water reminded him that he seemed to be cross-dressing.

Being exposed while cross-dressing made him feel ashamed.

At this moment, the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Tang San subconsciously turned his gaze to Su Yun's small face. There were still water droplets on her face from just washing it, her slightly damp hair making her look somewhat pitiful.

Perhaps it was because she was being stared at, she felt shy. Not only did her face turn slightly red, but her originally fair skin also flushed a faint pink.

So cute...

The thought popped into his mind, and Tang San, as if guilty of a crime, shifted his gaze away.

Taking several deep breaths, Su Yun tried to calm himself down. He crouched down and began to put the toiletries on the ground into his small bag. He wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but he couldn't.

A person could die, but they couldn't be socially dead!

After packing everything, Su Yun gave Tang San a deep look and then left without a word.

Watching Su Yun about to leave, Tang San subconsciously wanted to stop her, but halfway through extending his hand, he stopped.

Looking in the direction the girl left, Tang San felt a pang of regret. It wasn't because of the girl, but directed at himself, as he had almost let the girl fall into the lake, not to mention forgetting her name.

While Tang San was lost in thought, Su Yun, in her haste, hadn't closed her bag properly. A gust of wind blew, and a handkerchief flew out, drifting with the wind.

When Tang San reacted, the handkerchief was about to fall into the river. Almost instinctively, he fully activated [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track], each step covering nearly two zhang.

"Plop!"

Just as the handkerchief was about to fall into the water, Tang San jumped into the river and caught it. As he climbed ashore, dripping wet, and wanted to return the handkerchief to Su Yun, he found that the girl's figure had already disappeared.

Tang San felt his heart skip a beat. He looked at the handkerchief in his palm. It was as light as silk, transparent like a cicada's wing, cool to the touch. Embroidered on it were a few light green orchids, the same material as the girl's clothes. He could even smell a faint, delicate fragrance from it.

Folding the handkerchief neatly, Tang San carefully tucked it into his embrace.

"She should also be from Holy Soul Village. There will be opportunities to meet again!

Right!

Today is the Martial Soul Awakening. She will definitely participate. I'll return the handkerchief to her then and apologize properly."

Muttering to himself, Tang San also began to wash up by the river. But for some reason, the image of the girl's cute, blushing face kept appearing in his mind.

On the other side.

[Friend Value from Tang San +10.]

??????

"No way, man, are you sick?"

Looking at the additional 10 Friend Value points, Su Yun was dumbfounded. It was utterly inexplicable!

Returning to the village chief's house, Old Jack had already prepared the meal. Seeing Su Yun return, he said kindly.

"Xiao Yun is back? Come and eat quickly!"

"Okay, Grandpa."

Su Yun agreed and gestured with the small bag in his hand.

"I'll put it in my room and be right there."

Returning to his room, Su Yun tossed the small bag onto the table nearby and couldn't wait to open the system.

Ignoring the spicy strips and fat-boy happy water in his inventory, Su Yun looked at the newly acquired golden lottery ticket, which was still marked with a [New] tag.

[Top-Tier Lottery Ticket

Description: After use, you may perform one top-tier lottery draw.]

The description was simple, yet incredibly powerful.

Su Yun rubbed his hands together and spoke impatiently.

"Use!"

As the words fell, the [Top-Tier Lottery Ticket] vanished.

Nine cards appeared before Su Yun.

[Body-type Martial Soul: Superman Physique]

[Body-type Martial Soul: Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan]

[Tool-type Martial Soul: Heartsteel]

[Tool-type Martial Soul: Hubris]

[Beast-type Martial Soul: Vermilion Bird]

[Plant-type Martial Soul: Hollow Willow]

[Support-type Martial Soul: Jade Purifying Bottle]

[Food-type Martial Soul: Mixue Bingcheng]

[Special Martial Soul: Five-Colored Divine Light]

Staring at the top-tier Martial Souls that had appeared, Su Yun's mouth began to salivate uncontrollably!

Good heavens! This top-tier Martial Soul lottery was simply too amazing!

The two Body-type Martial Souls went without saying; one came from the DC Universe, omnipotent and capable of growing stronger just by lying in the sun, while the other came from Naruto, featuring the three Kekkei Mōra-level ninjutsu: Infinite Tsukuyomi, Amenominaka, and Yomotsu Hirasaka, each more monstrous than the last.

The two Tool-type Martial Souls came from League of Legends, both being items capable of infinite growth.

The Vermilion Bird, one of the four great divine beasts, represents the Li trigram in the Bagua, governs fire in the Five Elements, symbolizes the Greater Yang and summer among the Four Symbols, and is also known as the "Southern Land of Heaven" and the "God of the South"!

The Hollow Willow, the true form of the Great Immortal Yang Mei, governs the Great Dao laws of space.

The Jade Purifying Bottle: A dharma treasure of Guanyin, possessing the characteristic of infinite internal spatial expansion, containing the nectar of life that can resurrect the dead, capable of drawing water from the four seas to extinguish the Samadhi Fire, and its willow branch, transformed into three life-saving hairs, contains special magical powers.

Mixue Bingcheng? It seemed something strange had been mixed in; how could this thing possibly deserve to be here!

Never mind that; there was still the last one, the Five-Colored Divine Light, the innate divine ability of Kong Xuan, capable of brushing away any dharma treasure or weapon within the Five Elements.

It was no exaggeration to say that, aside from Mixue Bingcheng, if he obtained any one of the others and unleashed its full power, he could storm the God Realm and become the God King himself.

Su Yun took a deep breath and selected [Start Lottery.]

He watched as the neatly arranged cards were gathered together and began to shuffle frantically, the speed so fast that Su Yun couldn't see them clearly at all.

Five seconds later, the nine cards were laid out face-down in a 3x3 grid before Su Yun once again.

Rubbing his hands with anticipation, Su Yun chose the card in the very center, his heart pounding wildly with nervousness.

"Not Mixue Bingcheng!

Please, not Mixue Bingcheng!"

Su Yun pressed a hand to his chest, praying frantically; at this moment, his heart felt as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
