After three rounds of frustrating draws, Amada continued to initiate the fourth round of ten green-tier draws.

Please, let something good come out!

He prayed incessantly in his heart.

Finally, when he reached the fifth round, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted.

"A blue! Finally, a blue!"

Amada felt a bit helpless; it had taken five sets of ten green draws just to get one blue. The odds were truly abysmal.

He couldn't wait to look at the item radiating the blue light, which appeared to be a mysterious orb of light.

The moment Amada's finger lightly touched the orb, a stream of information surged directly into his mind.

"Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu cultivation insights in her prime?"

"Now this is good stuff!"

Amada was pleasantly surprised.

What surprised him even more was that these insights were not presented in the form of a dry, boring book.

Instead, they could be integrated directly into his mind, allowing him to instantly grasp their essence.

Without a moment's hesitation, Amada focused his intent and chose to absorb these precious Genjutsu insights.

In an instant, a sensation like a powerful electric current surged through his brain.

A vast amount of Genjutsu techniques and theoretical knowledge flooded his consciousness.

Those complex principles of Genjutsu, exquisite methods of chakra control, and various tactical responses in actual combat, all became incredibly clear, as if he had spent countless hours studying and practicing them, already knowing them by heart.

Amada kept his eyes tightly shut, immersed in this sudden baptism of knowledge.

His brows furrowed and relaxed in turns, his expression shifting as the knowledge continued to pour into his mind.

After a long while, Amada slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of confidence shining within them.

He clenched his fists, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.

"With these insights, my Genjutsu level will surely skyrocket!"

Amada took a few deep breaths, allowing his emotions to settle.

After a brief moment of reflection, Amada decided to strike while the iron was hot and finish the remaining two sets of ten green draws.

Even if I don't get anything good from the rest, this draw was already worth it thanks to these Genjutsu insights.

Amada comforted himself silently, while also harboring a sliver of wishful thinking, hoping for more surprises to descend.

Besides, the green items he had drawn earlier could be dismantled to accumulate more green draw attempts, which would help recoup some of his losses.

With this mindset, Amada initiated the sixth set of ten green draws.

However, when the results were revealed, as expected, it was just a combination of green and white items.

Although he felt a bit disappointed, Amada had been mentally prepared.

He sighed softly, quickly adjusted his mindset, and prepared to face the final draw.

"Come on, the last one!"

As he issued the mental command, the draw wheel began to spin once more.

At first, it flickered uncertainly between green and blue light.

Just as Amada was about to assume this would also be a mediocre result, suddenly, a dazzling purple light erupted from the draw wheel without any warning.

"Holy crap!"

Amada couldn't help but curse, his voice filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that a purple-tier item could appear in a ten-draw green-tier pool.

Recovering from his shock, Amada couldn't wait to retrieve the purple-tier item from the draw system.

An exquisite container appeared in his hands, holding a pale golden liquid filled with tiny, starlike specks.

As the container swayed, the starlight seemed to come alive, gently flickering and dancing like a dream.

Amada carefully cradled the liquid, and the moment he touched it, the system transmitted information into his mind.

This was the [Spectator] potion, from Lord of the Mysteries, the Sequence 9 potion of the Visionary pathway.

Amada was initially overjoyed; after all, this was a mysterious item from another world, and drawing it was undoubtedly a stroke of great luck.

But immediately after, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"This is definitely a good item, but I recall that in the original work, the abilities of a Sequence 9 Spectator are somewhat limited. Logically speaking, it shouldn't reach the rarity of a purple tier; it feels like it might not even be as practically helpful to me as the Kurenai Yuhi Genjutsu insights I just obtained."

Amada muttered to himself, looking at the potion in his hand.

His mind kept replaying the various descriptions of the "Spectator" from Lord of the Mysteries, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

However, Amada did not dwell on this question for too long.

"Forget it, no point in overthinking it. Being able to draw such a good item is already a massive win."

"Since the system rated it as Purple quality, there must be a reason for it. Perhaps in this world, it can unleash unexpectedly powerful effects."

Amada's gaze remained fixed on the Spectator potion, various thoughts surging through his mind.

After pondering for a long time, Amada no longer hesitated and decided to consume the potion.

Although he had some understanding of the Spectator's abilities from the original Lord of the Mysteries, written descriptions and personal experience were two different things, which made Amada feel very expectant and curious.

Taking a deep breath, Amada picked up the potion and, without the slightest hesitation, tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp.

In an instant, the potion turned into a stream of cool energy that flowed straight down his throat.

Immediately afterward, this energy surged toward his brain.

Amada felt his mind suddenly clear, as if a long-sealed door had been slowly pushed open.

Wrapped in this cool sensation, Amada's gaze subconsciously swept across his surroundings, and in a trance, he felt as if the entire world had instantly become clear from a state of dimness.

The subtle textures on the walls and the dust floating in the air became clearer than ever before.

However, a moment later, everything seemed to return to normal.

Amada blinked and licked his lips; apart from that momentary visual clarity, he did not feel any other obvious changes.

"What's going on? Is that it?"

Amada muttered to himself, though he felt a faint intuition that things would not be that simple.

Despite being slightly disappointed by the initial experience of his first Purple item, Amada quickly adjusted his mindset, composed his emotions, and headed out toward the training ground he frequented most often.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Amada locked his gaze onto the tall, thick training tree, a tree that had witnessed his journey from initial clumsiness to his current proficiency.

Now, he could walk to the top of the tree as easily as walking on flat ground.

Today, he focused his training on the speed of chakra condensation.

Amada slowly closed his eyes, discarded all distracting thoughts, and concentrated his spirit.

In an instant, a surge of chakra condensed beneath his feet.

The speed of this condensation far exceeded his expectations, startling even Amada himself.

"What's going on? Why has my progress been so fast? My chakra condensation wasn't this quick just yesterday."

Amada's face was full of confusion, his eyes flickering with surprise.

The Spectator potion he had just consumed flashed through his mind—could this mysterious potion be working its magic without him realizing it?

Carrying this hypothesis, Amada wasted no time and began testing other training exercises.

During chakra refinement training, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his speed in refining chakra was much faster than it had been yesterday.

As for genjutsu training, thanks to the insights from the adult Kurenai Yuhi, his understanding and application of genjutsu had reached an entirely new level.

Those once obscure and difficult-to-grasp genjutsu principles were now clear and understandable in his eyes;

those techniques that were once hard to execute, he could now perform with ease.

However, when performing physical training, Amada found that the situation was no different from usual.

He continued his running, jumping, and other exercises at his usual intensity, and the sense of physical fatigue and the rate of endurance improvement were about the same as always, showing none of the significant progress seen in his chakra-related abilities.

Despite the lack of change in physical training, the massive improvements in chakra and genjutsu were enough to make Amada feel incredibly excited.
