At last,
the indicator slowly came to a stop on "Martial Soul Bloodline Enhancement."
Lin Jing was so excited he nearly tore the hotel apart. He leapt off the bed, then landed again.
He threw his head back and laughed.
"Truly, without me, Lin Jing, born into this world, the path of Martial Souls would have been shrouded in darkness for eternity!"
Neither the roulette wheel nor the system made a sound.
Only after Lin Jing stopped laughing did the wheel speak:
"Martial Soul Bloodline Enhancement. Since your Martial Soul can evolve in two different ways, you will now enter a two-option roulette pool."
"Two different ways?"
Lin Jing froze. Could there be an evolution path besides the Blue Silver Emperor?
When the screen switched to the Martial Soul Evolution Path pool, he saw the two options and his confusion vanished.
The two choices were, unmistakably, "Blue Silver Emperor" and "Dark Blue Silver Emperor."
"This Dark Blue Silver Emperor should be similar to Tang Ya's Martial Soul in Douluo II."
Lin Jing murmured to himself.
"Draw!"
Whether it was the Blue Silver Emperor or the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, either one would undoubtedly rank among the top Martial Souls.
He could accept either result.
But what he wanted most was the Dark Blue Silver Emperor.
That was because his First Soul Ring's life attribute conflicted somewhat with the orthodox Blue Silver Emperor.
As if it had heard his thoughts, the system's indicator landed on the Dark Blue Silver Emperor.
"Dark Blue Silver Emperor. Martial Soul evolution beginning."
The roulette wheel's voice faded.
Blue Silver Grass appeared uncontrollably in Lin Jing's hand.
Then it began to grow wildly, its stalk stretching higher and higher.
A hint of black appeared, then rapidly spread upward from the roots. The leaves darkened, and their veins filled with the red markings of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine.
Fine serrations grew along the leaf edges, and the Dark Blue Silver Emperor became covered in the same hollow spikes as the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine.
The Blue Silver Grass's gentle aura vanished, replaced by a strange, sinister one.
The red markings along its veins seemed to come alive, flowing slowly.
From this moment on, Lin Jing's Martial Soul was no longer a weed found at every roadside. It was...
the sovereign among Plant Martial Souls!
The supreme emperor of darkness—the Dark Blue Silver Emperor!
After the excitement subsided, a serious problem surfaced in Lin Jing's mind.
What if Haozi, secretly spying on him, sensed the Blue Silver Emperor aura when he used his Martial Soul?
According to the system's lottery rules, experiencing plot events unlocked plot-specific draws.
He didn't want to miss out, but he also didn't dare risk his life.
When he didn't know how to solve a problem, he could always ask the all-knowing system.
"System-chan, if Tang Hao finds out about my Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, do you think he'll kill me?"
He asked in a casual tone, as though making conversation.
[Your Blue Silver Emperor aura has been concealed and replaced with the aura of the Dark Blue Silver King.]
Lin Jing raised an eyebrow. Why was the Thunder System being so generous today?
He'd thought he'd have to shamelessly beg again before exchanging Task Points for it.
Of course, he didn't have any Task Points, but the system let him go into debt, didn't it?
With enough debts, you stopped worrying; with enough lice, the itch stopped bothering you.
He certainly wasn't going to say that out loud. What if the system changed its mind?
[Host... I can hear you muttering to yourself.]
The system's voice was faint.
Lin Jing: "..."
"You're spying on me! You've violated my right to privacy!"
Lin Jing slapped the screen and spoke righteously.
[Host... your third Special Opportunity Roulette draw is beginning.]
The system reminded him.
Lin Jing looked at the rapidly spinning wheel and fell silent.
Those two slaps he'd just landed... seemed to have hit the start button.
"Damn hand, you damn hand!"
Lin Jing smacked his right hand—the one that had pressed the button.
Since the roulette wheel had already started, there was nothing he could do. He could only accept it and wait for the result.
Five seconds later, the wheel slowed.
Each time the indicator pointed at a section, Lin Jing's eyes widened another fraction.
By the time the wheel came to a complete stop, his eyes had already stretched to their limit.
Then came wordless... ecstasy.
His mouth slowly fell open, wide enough to fit an egg.
The indicator had landed squarely on Twin Martial Souls!
"Twin Martial Souls. Entering the Martial Soul draw pool."
Beast Martial Souls, Weapon Martial Souls, Plant Martial Souls...
The familiar Martial Soul options appeared again. Without hesitation, Lin Jing pressed start.
With his luck this good, he had to draw a few more.
He deliberately imitated his previous move and slapped the button with his right hand.
Once the wheel began spinning, Lin Jing wrapped his left arm around his right hand and planted a loud kiss on it.
He really showed what it meant to wear your smugness on your face!
The roulette wheel slowed to its usual three seconds, then finally stopped on Beast Martial Souls.
"Entering the Beast Martial Soul category draw pool."
"There are categories too?"
Lin Jing was astonished. This was layer upon layer—like Russian nesting dolls.
The Beast Martial Soul category pool contained common species, such as wolves, tigers, bears, and dogs.
Among them, the Special category and Dragon category were the ones Lin Jing cared about most.
This Beast Martial Soul result wasn't bad, so he used the same method as before.
He slapped the draw button with his right hand.
The wheel spun.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Lin Jing closed his eyes and silently counted, anticipating the final result.
Once he figured the wheel should have stopped, he opened his eyes.
And saw...
the indicator pointing to "Dragon," a category that made up only five percent of the pool!
"Entering the Dragon Bloodline Roulette."
"Here we go again."
Lin Jing knew at once that this was another category roulette pool.
He'd already had so many lucky draws that another wheel wasn't necessarily a good thing.
A person's luck was limited. Maybe this draw would send him plunging into the abyss.
The bloodlines on the wheel were "Draconic," "Pureblood Dragon," "Earth Dragon," "True Dragon," and "Thin Dragon Blood."
"Could Thin Dragon Blood really count as dragonkind?"
An ominous feeling rose in Lin Jing's heart. What if he drew "Thin Dragon Blood" and got knocked right back to square one?
He took a deep breath. This time, he didn't use his previous method. Instead, he silently thought:
"Draw."
He stared at the screen without blinking, his eyes following the spinning wheel.
Since there weren't many prizes this time, Lin Jing could just barely keep up with the wheel.
Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
The indicator skimmed past the edge of "Thin Dragon Blood" and barely landed on "True Dragon."
"Looks like I haven't run out of luck yet. After I finish drawing today, I should hide in Holy Soul Village for a couple of days."
"To keep bad luck from finding me here in Nuoding City."
Lin Jing thought to himself.
The wheel spoke: "True Dragon. Entering the True Dragon draw pool."
"This should be the last one, right? No matter how bad my luck gets, I'll still get a guaranteed True Dragon."
"Not bad, not bad."
"Draw."
Lin Jing leaned back onto the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
The indicator swept past Burning Void Flame True Dragon, Mystic Nether Soul-Eroding True Dragon, and Extreme Cold Eternal Freeze True Dragon...
At last, it came to a firm stop on—
Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon!
