Critical Hit, Golden Draw!

After changing into clean clothes, Xiao Tianci turned to look beside the bed.

There lay a handwritten combat skill manual.

Yellow Tier low-grade combat skill: Rolling Stone Fist.

This Rolling Stone Fist was one of the most common combat skills in the Xiao Clan, and also one of the easiest to cultivate.

Even so, the previous Xiao Tianci had practiced it for an entire month without even getting started, which showed just how abysmal his talent had been.

Xiao Tianci picked up Rolling Stone Fist and opened it without hesitation.

The originally obscure and difficult passages now seemed as plain as everyday speech to him, simple and easy to understand.

The grade of Rolling Stone Fist was extremely low, so the manual itself was quite short.

In just a few minutes, Xiao Tianci had read through it from beginning to end.

It was as if he had gained a photographic memory. Once he closed his eyes, every step of cultivating Rolling Stone Fist appeared in his mind without the slightest error.

Then, Xiao Tianci's eyes snapped open.

His outstretched palm clenched into a fist, and the faint Dou Qi within him rapidly flowed through several specific meridians and acupoints in his palm under the guidance of his thoughts.

A faint glow emerged over Xiao Tianci's fist.

Though the light was dim enough to be overlooked if one was not paying attention, it was the sign of Rolling Stone Fist having reached mastery!

Xiao Tianci threw a punch.

"Crack!"

The wooden post before him actually let out a faint sound.

Then, cracks spread across its surface.

A look of surprise appeared in Xiao Tianci's eyes.

Though it was his first time using Rolling Stone Fist, he felt no awkwardness or hesitation whatsoever. Instead, it felt incomparably familiar, as if he had used it thousands upon thousands of times.

And in that instant, he had cultivated Rolling Stone Fist to mastery!

Xiao Tianci sucked in a sharp breath, delight appearing in his eyes.

The body altered by the pills and the system was truly terrifying.

He had merely read the contents of the combat skill once, yet he had already completely mastered it.

Even with Xiao Yan's talent, he probably could not have done it so quickly!

"A thousandfold multiplier really is absurd. Forget my previous talent—even a pig, if its talent were improved a thousandfold, could probably become a grandmaster."

Xiao Tianci could not help sighing.

He shook his fist.

After that attack, his fist did not feel the slightest bit of pain.

With his physique strengthened, even though it was only a Yellow Tier low-grade combat skill, its power was still not to be underestimated.

Although it had only cracked the wooden post, the post was not made of ordinary wood. It was exceptionally hard; ordinary punches and kicks could at most leave a few dents. To shatter it would probably require greater cultivation or a stronger combat skill.

If Xiao Tianci's earlier punch had landed on a person who was completely unprepared, it could probably have broken several of the enemy's bones!

"Now, I'm finally no longer the weakling I used to be, unable to even truss a chicken."

A faint sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.

Xiao Tianci almost could not resist shouting that the system was awesome!

Even relying solely on the Beginner Gift Pack, he could probably make a name for himself across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

"Right, there are also Experience Points!" Thinking of the system, Xiao Tianci suddenly recalled its most important function: draws!

With a thought, a pale blue screen appeared before him.

Experience Points: 5

"Just reading a combat skill can earn Experience Points? Nice, very nice."

Xiao Tianci's words carried undisguised smugness.

He was invincible!

Unfortunately, the first draw required ten Experience Points. He was still five short, so he needed to find some other books to read.

But at the moment, the only combat skill at hand was Rolling Stone Fist.

Xiao Tianci could only go to the bookshelf nearby and casually pull out another book.

"Breeding and Postpartum Care of Magical Beasts... What exactly had the original owner been studying?"

The moment he saw the title, Xiao Tianci could no longer suppress the urge to complain.

Even so, Xiao Tianci had no intention of changing books and simply opened it to read.

As Xiao Tianci continued reading, the Experience Points on the pale blue screen kept rising.

6... 7... 8... 9... 10.

When his Experience Points reached ten, Xiao Tianci could no longer hold back and snapped shut Breeding and Postpartum Care of Magical Beasts.

With his current comprehension, he had basically memorized the entire process perfectly.

Some of the book's particularly bizarre magical beast illustrations had also been imprinted in his mind, impossible to erase.

"Sometimes, having too good a memory isn't a good thing either," Xiao Tianci complained.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the system interface.

"System, draw."

Xiao Tianci silently uttered the command.

A roulette wheel appeared on the system interface. At Xiao Tianci's command, it began spinning at high speed.

"Stop!"

The wheel gradually slowed, finally stopping on the question-mark section.

Before he could feel confused, an explanation appeared.

Congratulations, Host. You have drawn a mysterious reward: Critical Hit. You have been granted one Golden Draw.

Would you like to use the Golden Draw now?

"Yes!" Xiao Tianci nodded without hesitation.

Then, excitement welled up in his heart.

He had not expected a Standard Draw to actually yield a Golden Draw!

He did not know whether it was because he was lucky or because he was still within the Beginner Protection Period.

The roulette wheel's background turned golden, radiating an air of wealth and splendor.

The rewards in a Golden Draw were far, far better than those in a Standard Draw!

"A cultivation technique. Give me a cultivation technique!"

Xiao Tianci stared fixedly at the cultivation technique section of the golden roulette wheel, muttering to himself inwardly.

"Draw!"

The golden roulette wheel began spinning at high speed. For a moment, it made his eyes dizzy, and he could not see which section the pointer had reached.

Thus, Xiao Tianci could only call out casually.

"Stop!"

The pointer slowed as it passed the pill section.

Under Xiao Tianci's expectant gaze, it passed the pill section and the heavenly treasures section before finally slowing to a stop in the cultivation technique section!

"Perfect!"

He abruptly swung his fist.

Then, the roulette wheel vanished instantly. What appeared before Xiao Tianci was a book emitting a cyan glow.

Congratulations, Host. You have successfully drawn the Earth Tier mid-grade cultivation technique, Green Emperor Longevity Art. Claim it now?

Xiao Tianci nodded.

The book transformed into a streak of cyan light and flew into his mind.
