Heh heh heh, old geezer, hand over the Burning Mantra!

Looking at the point lottery before him, Xiao Yan issued his command directly.

[Ding--]

[Host is generous!]

[Super Villain points -100, Bronze tier 100-consecutive draw initiated.]

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the golden trait: "The Strictest Daddy of Alien Races." It deals 10x damage to non-humanoid beings while simultaneously increasing defense against alien races by 10x!]

[Wow! The host's luck is exploding; a golden item from the Bronze tier?!]

"Hm?"

Seeing the lottery results, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with wild joy.

One must know that in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, there are many races, such as the Monster Beast Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Hun Clan... This trait is simply the bane of all alien races!

Good, good, good!

It seems this system's lottery function is quite decent; not a scam at all.

Looking at the golden trait he had obtained, Xiao Yan couldn't help but grin, his heart blooming with joy.

The 100-consecutive draw continued.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel expectant.

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a flashlight x1!]

Hm?

A flashlight, that's alright, I suppose.

Xiao Yan nodded; the winning rate wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

But...

Immediately following that.

Xiao Yan's brows began to furrow tighter and tighter.

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

The remaining 98 consecutive draws were all "Thanks for playing"?

Damn it!

"You draw 'Thanks for playing' and you're still congratulating me for what?!"

Xiao Yan cursed inwardly; he wanted to take back his previous words. This system's lottery was a total scam.

"System, again!"

"Continue the lottery, this time give me a [Silver tier] 10-consecutive draw!"

Xiao Yan wanted to test it out; for the same cost of 100 points, what would the final result be?

[Ding--]

[Host is grand!]

[Super Villain points -100! Silver tier 10-consecutive draw initiated.]

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn 'Thanks for playing'!]

Nine consecutive draws, and all of them were "Thanks for playing"!

At this, Xiao Yan's entire face turned dark.

Motherfucker, this is too much of a scam, right?

A 10% winning rate, and this is it?

"Damn it, scam system!"

He cursed under his breath.

He took a deep breath.

Xiao Yan waited silently for the final draw result, holding no expectations in his heart.

Unexpectedly—

A flash of red light streaked by.

[Ding—]

[Congratulations to the host, your luck has exploded! You have drawn a rare prize—"Red Lotus Karma Fire"!]

Upon seeing the four characters "Red Lotus Karma Fire," Xiao Yan was completely stunned.

Red Lotus Karma Fire?

The Red Lotus Karma Fire ranked eighth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking?!

"Holy crap!!!"

Xiao Yan sprang up from his bed, nearly hitting the rafters.

Having read Battle Through the Heavens thoroughly, how could he not know the value of a Heavenly Flame?

In the original work, every time Xiao Yan sought a Heavenly Flame, wasn't it a brush with death, a desperate struggle?

Green Lotus Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame... each one was obtained only after enduring extreme peril.

And now?

One hundred points, a ten-draw, and it just handed him the eighth-ranked Heavenly Flame?!

"System! You're awesome!"

Xiao Yan's face flushed with excitement, his earlier curses long since cast to the nine heavens.

Xiao Yan stared blissfully at the enchanting red fire lotus in the system space, liking it more the longer he looked.

The fire lotus was crimson throughout, its petals layered and overlapping, with golden flames faintly dancing at its center, emitting an aura that was both scorching and possessed a hint of eerie allure.

This was the Red Lotus Karma Fire!

Legend says it was born in the Nine Nether Lands, a flame capable of burning away all the sins of the world!

[Red Lotus Karma Fire: Ranked eighth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, born in the Nine Nether Lands, can burn away the sins of the world. Trait: Karma Fire Red Lotus, burns body and soul, provides an extra damage bonus against soul bodies. Includes Dou Technique—Red Lotus Karma Fire Palm: With one palm strike, the red lotus appears, and the karma fire burns the heavens.]

"It even comes with a Dou Technique?"

Xiao Yan's eyes went wide.

This wasn't a lottery; this was practically a giveaway!

Those one hundred points were well spent!

He hurriedly checked the system panel.

[Host: Hun Tiandi]

[Current Cultivation: One-star Dou Wang]

[Physique: 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" marked after the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

He understood instantly.

"It seems that I must learn the Burning Mantra before I can truly fuse this Heavenly Flame!"

At the thought of the Burning Mantra, a smile couldn't help but spread across Xiao Yan's face, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the Mystic Ring on his finger.

He had almost forgotten that Medicine Elder inside this Mystic Ring was the "golden finger" on the original Xiao Yan's path to growth.

The Burning Mantra he possessed allowed Xiao Yan to defy the heavens and change his fate; even later in the Great Thousand World, the Burning Mantra was considered a supreme, top-tier cultivation method!

By continuously fusing Heavenly Flames, the Burning Mantra could constantly improve its grade.

Because of the upgrade from the system's Dou Wang level-up card, he was already a Dou Wang, yet he lacked a cultivation method.

Therefore, he had to get his hands on the Burning Mantra no matter what.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Yan had no intention of drawing again; instead, he stared intently at the Mystic Ring on his hand and slowly reached out to take it off.

He chuckled softly:

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Old man, you've been secretly draining my Dou Qi for three years now; surely that's enough to satisfy you?"

However—

The Mystic Ring on his finger remained completely motionless, appearing as nothing more than an ordinary, unremarkable band.

"Oh?"

"Still playing dead, are you, old man?"

Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, though he could understand Medicine Elder's behavior.

After all, Medicine Elder was inherently cautious, hiding away in the Mystic Ring with the utmost care just to bide his time for revenge, never daring to reveal himself rashly.

Even in the original story, Medicine Elder had secretly observed Xiao Yan for three years, confirming his character and temperament were excellent before finally appearing to offer guidance.

What's more, he had just inexplicably erupted with the cultivation of a "Dou Wang"...

Medicine Elder was likely reeling in confusion right now; how could a little brat at the "third stage of Dou Zhi Qi" right under his nose suddenly transform into a Dou Wang?

Therefore, Medicine Elder was undoubtedly even more afraid to act rashly now.

However—

Understanding was one thing.

But that Burning Mantra... he still had to get his hands on it!

Sensing that Medicine Elder inside the Mystic Ring still had no intention of appearing, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and hesitated no longer.

In the next instant, he directly withdrew the Ten Thousand Soul Banner from his system space.

Hum—

Suddenly!

A surge of black mist spread from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, releasing a chilling, eerie aura that seemed as if it wanted to devour every living creature between heaven and earth.

Heh heh heh...

Old man, oh old man, let's see if you'll hand over the Burning Mantra now!
