Looking at the points lottery in front of him, Xiao Yan immediately gave the order.
[System Notification—]
[The host is so generous!]
[Super Villain Points -100. Bronze Tier hundred-pull lottery activated.]
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! You've drawn a gold trait—"Strictest Father of Alien Races." Deals 10 times more damage to non-allied beings and increases defense against alien races by 10 times!]
[Wow! The host's luck is incredible! A gold trait from a Bronze Tier draw?!]
"Hm?"
Looking at the lottery result, Xiao Yan froze for a moment, then broke into a delighted grin.
After all, the Battle Through the Heavens world had many different races: the Monster Beast Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Hun Clan... This trait was practically the bane of alien races!
Good, good, good!
It seemed this system's lottery function was pretty decent—not a rip-off at all.
Looking at the gold trait he'd obtained, Xiao Yan couldn't help grinning, his heart bursting with joy.
The hundred-pull lottery was still going.
Xiao Yan couldn't help growing eager with anticipation.
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! You've obtained one flashlight!]
Hm?
A flashlight wasn't bad, either.
Xiao Yan nodded. The odds of winning weren't as poor as he'd imagined.
But...
Right after that,
Xiao Yan's brows drew tighter and tighter.
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
The remaining 98 consecutive draws had all been "Better luck next time"?
Damn!
"Why are you congratulating me for getting nothing?!"
Xiao Yan cursed inwardly. He took back what he'd said earlier. This system's lottery was an outrageous rip-off.
"System, again!"
"Keep drawing. This time, give me a 10-pull at the Silver Tier!"
Xiao Yan wanted to see what the final result would be, spending the same hundred points.
[System Notification—]
[The host is generous!]
[Super Villain Points -100! Silver Tier hundred-pull lottery activated.]
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
[Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
All nine consecutive draws had been "Better luck next time"!
Xiao Yan's face darkened.
Damn it, what a rip-off!
A 10% chance to win, and this was all he got?
"Damn, what a garbage system!"
He muttered a curse.
Then he took a deep breath.
Xiao Yan silently waited for the final result, no longer holding out any hope.
But then—
A flash of red light streaked past.
[System Notification—]
[Congratulations, host! Your luck has exploded! You've drawn a rare prize—"Red Lotus Karma Fire"!]
When he saw the words "Red Lotus Karma Fire," Xiao Yan froze completely.
Red Lotus Karma Fire?
The Red Lotus Karma Fire, ranked eighth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking?!
"Holy crap!!!"
Xiao Yan leapt right off the bed, nearly smashing his head against the roof beam.
He'd read Battle Through the Heavens inside and out. How could he not know how precious the Heavenly Flames were?
In the original story, had Xiao Yan ever obtained a Heavenly Flame without risking life and limb?
Green Lotus Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame... He'd gone through one perilous ordeal after another to claim every one.
And now?
A hundred points, a ten-pull, and he'd gotten a Heavenly Flame ranked eighth?!
"System! You're incredible!"
Xiao Yan's face flushed with excitement. He'd long since forgotten the curses he'd just hurled at it.
Xiao Yan happily stared at the alluring red Fire Lotus in his system space. The more he looked, the more he liked it.
The Fire Lotus was crimson from top to bottom, its petals layered upon one another. Deep in its core, golden flames flickered faintly, radiating a scorching aura touched with an eerie allure.
This was the Red Lotus Karma Fire!
The legendary flame born in the depths of the Netherworld, capable of burning away all the sins in the world!
[Red Lotus Karma Fire: Ranked eighth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Born in the depths of the Netherworld, it can burn away the sins of the world. Trait: Karma Fire Red Lotus—burns the body and soul, dealing additional damage to spiritual entities. Comes with Dou Technique—Red Lotus Karma Fire Palm: With one palm strike, a red lotus appears, and karma fire burns the heavens.]
"It comes with a Dou Technique, too?"
Xiao Yan's eyes went wide.
This wasn't a lottery prize. It was practically a free gift!
That hundred points had been absolutely worth it!
He hurriedly inspected the system panel.
[Host: Hun Tiandi] [Current cultivation: One-Star Dou Wang] [Constitution: Innate Great Sun Sacred Body] [Heavenly Flame: Red Lotus Karma Fire (unfused)] [Cultivation method: None] [Dou Technique: Red Lotus Karma Fire Palm (unfused, unlearned)] [Treasure: Ten Thousand Soul Banner (Tier 1)]
Xiao Yan noticed the words "unfused" after Red Lotus Karma Fire.
He understood at once.
"Looks like I'll have to learn the Flame Mantra before I can truly fuse with this Heavenly Flame!"
At the thought of the Flame Mantra, a smile crept across Xiao Yan's face, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the Mystic Ring on his finger.
He'd almost forgotten. The Medicine Elder inside this Mystic Ring had been the cheat that helped the original Xiao Yan grow.
The Flame Mantra he possessed had let Xiao Yan defy fate and change his life. Even later, in the Great Thousand World, the Flame Mantra was still considered one of the supreme cultivation methods!
As long as he kept fusing with Heavenly Flames, the Flame Mantra could continue to rise in rank.
Thanks to the system's Dou Wang Upgrade Card, he was already a Dou Wang, but he still had no cultivation method.
So no matter what, he had to get his hands on the Flame Mantra.
With that in mind,
Xiao Yan decided against another lottery draw. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the Mystic Ring in his hand and slowly took it off.
He chuckled.
"Ahem, ahem..."
"Old man, you've been secretly absorbing my Dou Qi for three years. That's enough, don't you think?"
However—
The Mystic Ring in his hand didn't move at all. It seemed like nothing more than an ordinary ring.
"Oh?"
"Old man, are you still pretending to be asleep?"
Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile. He could understand Medicine Elder's actions.
After all, Medicine Elder was naturally cautious. He'd been hiding in the Mystic Ring, biding his time and waiting for a chance to exact revenge. He wouldn't dare show himself recklessly.
Even in the original story, Medicine Elder had quietly observed Xiao Yan for three years, only appearing to guide him after confirming his excellent character and temperament.
What's more, he'd just inexplicably burst out with the cultivation of a Dou Wang...
Medicine Elder's head must be spinning right now. How had the little fellow who'd been at the third stage of Dou Qi suddenly become a Dou Wang?
So Medicine Elder was bound to be even more reluctant to act rashly now.
That said—
Understanding was one thing.
He still had to get his hands on the Flame Mantra!
Seeing that Medicine Elder in the Mystic Ring still had no intention of appearing,
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and didn't hesitate any longer.
The next moment,
He took the Ten Thousand Soul Banner out of his system space.
Hum—
At once!
A stream of black mist spread from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, releasing waves of eerie, chilling energy that made one's heart tremble, as if it were about to devour every living thing in the world.
Heh heh heh...
Old man, old man, let's see you refuse to hand over the Flame Mantra now!
Before you continue
