Lucky Draw and Unboxing

"Congratulations to the host for reaching a cumulative recharge of 300,000 taels. You have earned one spin on the Grand Prize Wheel."

"A lucky draw? Does it cost money?" Xian Yu was stunned, asking the question instinctively.

He was truly starting to fear this money-grubbing system.

"..."

The system offered no reply.

"Ugh... I suppose I have to test it myself. System, start the draw."

As soon as he spoke, a large wheel appeared before Xian Yu's eyes, with a red pointer in the center.

He saw that the large circular wheel was evenly divided into seven segments, each featuring an item accompanied by a text description.

The first item was the Zanpakuto Hyorinmaru. It originated from Bleach, and if Xian Yu remembered correctly, the Shikai release command was: "Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru!"

The second item was a bag of Spirit Rice, originating from the world of cultivation. Eat a single grain after cooking it, and you'll sweep away hunger for an entire day! Long-term consumption can further strengthen the physique and open up the meridians.

The third item was the Teigu Lion King, originating from Akame ga Kill. It was a belt-type Teigu that allowed the user to beast-ify themselves, drastically increasing physical abilities. Senses like smell were also enhanced, allowing the user to track enemies. Its ultimate technique, "Lion Never Dies," boosted the user's regenerative abilities; even if limbs were severed or eyes gouged out, the user could stop the bleeding and reattach them, with the recovery effect being even better when in a semi-beast state and used in conjunction with Lubbock's Teigu.

The fourth item was the Dragon Radar, originating from Dragon Ball. Function: Detect the location of Dragon Balls.

The fifth item was the Mangekyo Sharingan, originating from Naruto. It was the eye that reflected the heart, granting abilities corresponding to the user's inner desires.

The sixth item was the Flame-Flame Fruit, originating from One Piece. An incredibly overpowered Logia-type fruit!

The seventh item was the Marrow Cleansing Pill, originating from the world of cultivation. It cleansed the marrow and changed the constitution; taking it for the first time would significantly improve physical fitness and potential!

"Holy crap! Damn... there's so much good stuff in this batch! It really scared the hell out of me. Happiness came too suddenly!" Looking at those familiar treasures, Xian Yu's heart raced, his blood surged, and his hands wouldn't stop shaking!

After a long while, he finally calmed down, and Xian Yu frowned: "This fourth item, the Dragon Radar, is clearly a trap. The odds of finding Dragon Balls in the Naruto world are zero! And this fifth item, the Mangekyo Sharingan, is also a trap. Without the Otsutsuki bloodline, who would dare to install this thing? I don't want to become a chakra unit like Kakashi. May the heavens and gods protect me! Please, pointer, do not stop on these two traps! Start the wheel!"

Receiving the command, the pointer on the wheel began to spin rapidly.

This was the most heart-pounding moment!

Clearly, the three best items were the Zanpakuto, the Flame-Flame Fruit, and the Teigu Lion King. The Marrow Cleansing Pill and Spirit Rice were secondary. While the Mangekyo Sharingan was a bit of a trap... it was still better than the Dragon Radar...

On the grand wheel, the speed of the red pointer began to slow down gradually.

Flame-Flame Fruit, oh, it skipped over it.

Marrow Cleansing Pill.

It skipped over that too!

Holy crap! Zanpakuto!!!

Xian Yu's face flushed red with excitement! He had finally gotten lucky for once!

"Nice! Nice! Nice! Thanks to CCTV! Thanks to... wait?"

The red pointer suddenly moved one more notch... and pointed at the bag of Spirit Rice.

"Notification: Obtained one bag of 20 jin of Spirit Rice. It has been automatically stored in the inventory."

Xian Yu was furious!

"System! You're cheating! This is blatant cheating! It clearly stopped on the Zanpakuto! Give me back my Zanpakuto!! Give me back Hyorinmaru!"

"..."

However, no matter how dissatisfied Xian Yu was, the system gave no response.

He was so angry! There was nowhere to file a complaint even if he wanted to!

After a long, long time... Xian Yu finally managed to soothe his disappointment.

"Fine, the Spirit Rice is actually pretty good too..."

"Things like these grand wheels, they were always like this in my past life. It clearly looked like the pointer stopped on a valuable item, but at the last second, it would always jump one or two notches... It's all standard procedure... Just get used to it... As if!"

Xian Yu checked his balance of 15 diamonds and the Black Iron Treasure Chest in his inventory. He steeled his heart.

"Open the Black Iron Treasure Chest."

"Congratulations to the host for opening the Black Iron Treasure Chest. You have received the Five Thunders Method: Palm Thunder empowerment."

"Five Thunders Method? What is that?"

Just as Xian Yu was puzzled, a flood of information regarding the Five Thunders Method surged into his mind, making his head feel like it was about to explode.

"Ah! Damn it! System, you jerk! It hurts like hell, stop it!... It hurts..." Xian Yu's screams grew weaker and weaker. Finally, he fainted on the floor of his room.

In a hazy, indistinct space. There was no sky or earth here; everything around was blurred by mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.

He only felt a flash of realization flow through his heart:

The Five Thunders are divided into Yin and Yang.

The source of Yang Thunder comes from the heart and lungs; the earthly branch of the heart and lungs is Shen. The heart is fire, and the lungs are metal.

The Yang energy of the heart and lungs is likened to a monkey refined by fire; the monkey jumping up and down perfectly corresponds to the image of the heart, known as the Heart-Monkey.

So, how should one train the Heart-Monkey?

The ancients believed one must travel and experience. The more one experiences, the firmer the mind becomes. Thus, the Heart-Monkey is also named the Traveler.

And to what degree must the Heart-Ape be cultivated to reach perfection?

It must be cultivated to the point of Emptiness.

Therefore, the goal of the Heart-Ape is called Wukong.

The origin of Yin Thunder comes from the liver and kidneys, which correspond to the water element and the Hai earthly branch. The Yin energy of the liver and kidneys is described as a water-soaked pig.

This pig is in charge of a person's seven emotions and six desires, being gluttonous, slick-tongued, greedy for silver, and lustful. Training this pig requires upholding these eight precepts. Hence, it is named Bajie.

Desire is not entirely useless; one must understand what can be done and what cannot. The goal of this pig is to realize the meaning of "can."

Upon waking, Xian Yu wore a look of utter confusion; he hadn't understood a single bit of the profound and mysterious insights he had experienced in his daze.

However, as he extended his palm, the crackling power of lightning dancing upon it obeyed his control as if by instinct.

Could this be the legendary "can be understood but not expressed in words"?

Just as he was thinking this, Xian Yu fainted once again...

This time, it was because his chakra had been completely exhausted...

By the time he woke up again, the sky outside the window was beginning to brighten.

"The chakra consumption of this piece of junk is terrifying... With my current chakra levels, if I use Palm Thunder, I'll exhaust myself and pass out before I even manage to strike." Xian Yu felt a lingering fear.

One had to know that running out of chakra could be life-threatening!

According to the information imparted, this Palm Thunder belonged to the Yang Thunder techniques within the Five Thunders Method and primarily had three ways of being used.

The first method involves consuming a large amount of chakra to condense the lightning technique in the palm; by pointing the palm at the target, one can release bolts of lightning to strike them. It has some long-range capability, but the power weakens with distance. Beyond thirty meters, it basically cannot hurt anyone.

The second is somewhat similar to Kakashi's Chidori: after condensing the lightning technique, one briefly accelerates to dash in for a close-quarters attack.

The third is to condense a compressed ball of lightning in the palm, which is somewhat similar to a Rasengan.

"Useless... what kind of garbage Palm Thunder is this? It looks powerful, but do I have enough chakra to use it? By the time I have enough chakra to use it, I won't even need it if I learn Chidori or Rasengan! This is a total scam!" 〒▽〒

Xian Yu felt very sad; he had been secretly scammed by this unscrupulous system once again...

Looking at the twenty pounds of Spirit Rice in the third slot of his inventory... this was the only good thing that could provide him any comfort. π__π
