So, should I draw for an Intermediate Self-Created Soul Skill?
Su Yun was tempted.
Konoha Style Body Technique and Shave had both reached the entry level. As long as he kept training and practicing in real combat, his proficiency would steadily improve.
He could use the time he had left to learn another Self-Created Soul Skill and improve his strength.
In just a moment, Su Yun made up his mind.
He'd draw for one first.
He'd also see if he could develop [Self-Created Soul Skill: Rasengan], following the anime.
Once he'd thought of it, he got right to it.
He opened the [Intermediate Self-Created Soul Skill Gacha Interface].
Compared to the slot machine used for beginner draws, the intermediate one was a big prize wheel. It displayed 100 randomly selected rewards, so many that they made his eyes swim. The most eye-catching were naturally the three grand prizes: one gold and two purple.
Su Yun took a quick look. There was no "Better Luck Next Time," which put him at ease. He didn't give himself time to change his mind and started the draw immediately.
[-1000]
As 1,000 Friendship Points were deducted, the big prize wheel in front of him began spinning like crazy.
Su Yun stared unblinkingly at the pointer.
Ten seconds later, the red pointer slowly stopped, pointing to a reward with a purple background.
[Self-Created Soul Skill: Kenbunshoku Haki
Description: Kenbunshoku Haki can sense an enemy's location and movements. At a high level, it can briefly foresee the future and hear the voices of all things.]
One of the Three Haki types from the world of One Piece. Its power went without saying.
Staring at the newly acquired Self-Created Soul Skill, Su Yun was still a little dazed. Before the draw, he'd indeed hoped for a gold or purple reward.
But he hadn't expected the system to actually come through.
A 3-in-100 chance, and he'd really drawn it!
Thinking of the [Superman Physique] and [Shadow Scythe] he'd drawn before, Su Yun really wanted to say:
System bro, everything's going my way!
At that moment, he even had a thought: Why save Friendship Points? Why buy anything? Wasn't it better to just keep drawing?
Take a gamble, and your bicycle could become a motorcycle!
For just 1,000 points, there was a chance to win a Spirit Skill worth tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand.
For just 10,000, he could get the Alliance Skills he'd been dreaming about, worth hundreds of thousands or even over a million.
Su Yun admitted he was tempted. Without thinking, he opened the [Intermediate Spirit Skill Gacha Panel].
It had the same 100 slots. The grand prizes were one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and two Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Su Yun instinctively checked the details.
[Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill: Large Intestine Taste Bud
Description: Causes taste buds to grow on the target's large intestine for 30 seconds. (A Soul Skill exclusive to Support Soul Masters; Soul Masters of other types cannot absorb it.)]
!!!!!!
After reading the Spirit Skill attached to the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Su Yun was completely stunned.
No, system bro, this is just too damn vicious. It brought "Eat shit, you!" to life in the most vivid way possible.
This Spirit Skill was indeed powerful. Once used, its mental attack on an enemy would be unparalleled. But in turn, they'd hunt you down until one of you was dead.
It was a good thing Soul Masters in this world couldn't get their hands on such a vicious Spirit Skill.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Su Yun checked the other two thousand-year Spirit Skills.
[Three-Thousand-Year Soul Skill: Pole Vault
Description: When used, the Martial Soul condenses into a bamboo pole, which the user can use to leap high into the air. (From a three-thousand-year-old Solitary Bamboo; only plant Martial Souls and polearm Martial Souls can absorb it.)]
Su Yun: ...Nice.
The first Spirit Skill Yu Xiaogang had originally wanted to get for Tang San had appeared here.
Bibi Dong attacks?
Watch me dodge with Blue Silver Pole Vault!
Cross the doubled Sea God's Light?
Watch me charge right through with my Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Pole Vault!
Inherit a divine position and travel to the Divine Realm?
No need. Let all nine Blue Silver Pole Vault Spirit Rings shine together, and I'll leap straight to godhood!
Hahaha!
Recalling the jokes from his previous life, Su Yun sneaked a glance at Tang San. He nearly lost it. His pretty face was flushed red from holding back laughter, and he just barely managed not to burst out laughing.
It took a great deal of effort to move his gaze to the final grand prize.
[Two-Thousand-Year Soul Skill: Blood Qi Awakening
Description: Each time the user takes damage, their strength, attack speed, movement speed, and resistance to blows increase...
The heavier the damage, the greater the boost, up to a maximum of three times. (Only Tool-type Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls can absorb it.)]
Compared to the first two Spirit Skills, this one was entirely normal and powerful. It was also a perfect fit for his Shadow Scythe. Unfortunately, he couldn't draw it.
The 1-in-100 odds aside, the main problem was the other two grand prizes. Su Yun really couldn't bear to look at them. Even if he drew one, it'd be useless to him.
As for resetting the prize wheel, it cost 100 Friendship Points per reset. Otherwise, he had to draw once for it to reset automatically.
This once again showed Su Yun the limitations of drawing for rewards, and he immediately gave up on drawing for Spirit Skills.
Gamblers never came to a good end. He'd be better off saving up and buying them like a sensible person.
He closed the gacha panel, opened his inventory, and checked how to train [Kenbunshoku Haki].
"Basic training: Cover your eyes and dodge attacks using only the power of hearing. Gradually sense subtle changes, such as the flow of blood, heartbeat, and the wind..."
As he read, Su Yun summed up the instructions.
To train [Kenbunshoku Haki], he'd have to get hit. Tang San was a perfect training partner. He could throw pebbles at him using the same technique he used to launch Hidden Weapons.
At the beginning of his training, he didn't need to cover his eyes. He could simply try not to rely on them, sensing his opponent's presence to dodge their attacks...
It didn't take long for Su Yun to come up with a series of new plans.
So, not long after Tang San finished eating, Su Yun hurriedly dragged him along to start training.
"What? You want me to throw little stones at you?"
Tang San was a little taken aback by Su Yun's request.
"Mm-hmm. It's a new move I've been thinking about."
As he spoke, Su Yun explained the basic effects of [Kenbunshoku Haki] to Tang San.
After listening, Tang San looked at Su Yun as if he were a genius.
He couldn't imagine how Su Yun's mind worked. He came up with so many strange ideas, and most importantly, this one actually seemed feasible.
After all, wasn't what Su Yun described just an advanced version of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track combined with Purple Demon Eye? That was what Tang San thought.
So when Su Yun brought it up, Tang San thought it over briefly, then agreed. He just swapped the pebbles for wooden blocks, no doubt because he was worried about hurting Su Yun.
The results were pretty good. To show off, Tang San used his Hidden Weapons technique. Without using his eyes and relying only on his senses, Su Yun found it hard to dodge, though the wooden blocks didn't hurt much when they hit him.
Just like that, Tang San spent the whole morning helping Su Yun train.
As noon approached, Su Yun didn't go back to Old Jack's house for lunch this time. Instead, he called Tang San to the riverside to catch a few fish.
"Third Brother~
Shall we go to your place for lunch today?"
In the river, Su Yun raised his hand. Two big fish were still flopping in his grasp.
Tang San shifted his gaze to the girl standing barefoot in the river, a happy smile on her face.
"Sure."
[Friendship Points +26 from Tang San.]
Daily routine complete.
