"System-chan, switch to the Special Opportunity Roulette."

Lin Jing silently said it in his mind.

The next moment, the system panel before his eyes changed again.

"Special Opportunity Roulette."

Six large characters slowly appeared, a size bigger than the ones on the Fragment Roulette.

The roulette wheel below, however, remained unchanged.

Lin Jing's gaze settled on the wheel's slots as he carefully examined the rewards listed on them.

There were plenty of things in the prize pool, all sorts of strange and wonderful items. It had everything.

Some were good, some were bad. It all depended on luck.

For example, one slot said "Slight Enlightenment."

If he drew that, he could directly raise a Soul Master's Soul Power Level by three levels, with no side effects whatsoever.

Another was called "Qi Deviation."

As the name suggested, it was purely a negative effect: his Soul Power would become chaotic, and he would lose three levels of Soul Power.

That was the exact opposite of Slight Enlightenment.

Of course, there were more good things than bad.

"Corresponding Age Spirit Bone."

Based on Lin Jing's current strength, he would receive a Spirit Bone corresponding to a Soul Beast's age.

Besides that, the prize pool held all kinds of odd and unusual things.

Things like "Pills," "Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity," "Special Constitution"...

There was such a wide variety that it made your eyes swim.

And among all the rewards, one slot stood out as especially unusual.

That slot was the smallest, and its color was different from the others: a dark gold.

Lin Jing was certain this was a new prize added to this round of the Special Opportunity Roulette draw.

If that eye-catching dark gold had been there in earlier rounds, Lin Jing would surely have noticed it.

Two words were written on it—

"Title."

Every title came with a unique special ability, and it was permanent.

"A title, huh..."

Lin Jing looked at the tiny dark-gold slot, his eyes faintly gleaming.

"I wonder if I've used up all my luck. I'd trade Tang San being single for the rest of his life to get this reward."

Thinking this, Lin Jing reached out and pressed the "Start" button.

"Draw!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the wheel began to spin.

It spun incredibly fast.

Afterimages of the wheel flashed past his eyes, making it impossible to see what the pointer was aimed at.

Lin Jing's heart began to race along with it.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the dark-gold "Title" slot.

A title!

A title!

A title!

He kept repeating it in his mind.

The wheel began to slow, little by little.

The pointer moved slowly past one reward slot after another.

Slight Enlightenment...

Qi Deviation...

Ten-Year Spirit Bone...

Random Pill...

One reward after another slipped beneath the pointer.

Lin Jing's heart rose and fell with every passing slot.

No!

Please, don't stop on Qi Deviation!

I just raised my Soul Power by two levels. I don't want to have three levels deducted!

The wheel continued to slow.

The pointer gradually crept toward the dark-gold slot.

Closer.

Closer still.

Lin Jing held his breath.

At last—

A soft click.

The wheel came to a complete stop.

The pointer landed squarely on the dark-gold slot.

"Title"!

Lin Jing froze for a moment.

Then a surge of joy welled up inside him.

"What the hell?!"

He couldn't help blurting out a curse.

"San, bro's sorry about this."

"I'll definitely take good care of Xiao Wu for you!"

Lin Jing was so excited he nearly leaped off the ground.

Just as Lin Jing was beside himself with excitement, the system panel changed again.

The Special Opportunity Roulette slowly faded away, replaced by a brand-new wheel.

This wheel was a little smaller than the previous two, but it had the same old design.

Unchanged as ever.

"Title Draw Pool."

Five characters appeared above the wheel.

Lin Jing's gaze fell on the wheel's slots.

There were fourteen slots in total, each bearing the name of a title.

The seven slots on the left were:

Pride.

Lust.

Wrath.

Sloth.

Greed.

Gluttony.

Envy.

The Seven Deadly Sins.

There were seven slots on the right as well.

These were the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

Humility.

Chastity.

Gentleness.

Diligence.

Charity.

Temperance.

Patience.

Fourteen titles, the Seven Deadly Sins matched one by one against the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

Every one was unique.

"The Seven Deadly Sins... the Seven Heavenly Virtues..."

Lin Jing murmured to himself, his eyes sweeping across the fourteen titles one by one.

Each title had different abilities.

The Seven Heavenly Virtues titles leaned toward positive buffs, with powerful support effects.

The Seven Deadly Sins titles, on the other hand, were more domineering and offensive, but they often came with side effects or restrictions.

As for which was stronger...

That was hard to say.

Each had its own strengths.

But personally, Lin Jing still leaned toward the Seven Deadly Sins.

He couldn't help it.

Strength was temporary, but looking cool lasted a lifetime.

The Seven Deadly Sins just sounded way more badass than the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

"Hopefully I draw Pride or Wrath or something..."

Lin Jing daydreamed.

Those two sounded powerful.

Lust wouldn't be bad either...

Ahem. What was he thinking?

Lin Jing shook his head, clearing away those messy thoughts.

"Let's do this."

He took a deep breath and reached out to press the Start button.

"Bzz—"

The wheel began to turn slowly.

It spun faster and faster.

Lin Jing kept his eyes fixed on it.

The Seven Deadly Sins!

It had to be one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

The wheel spun rapidly for several seconds before finally beginning to slow down.

Little by little.

Slowly.

The pointer moved past one slot after another.

Humility...

Chastity...

Gentleness...

Then it entered the Seven Deadly Sins section.

Lin Jing's eyes lit up.

Gluttony...

Greed...

Sloth...

The names of the sins slipped past beneath the pointer one by one.

The wheel nearly came to a standstill.

At last,

the pointer stopped firmly on the topmost slot in the left-hand section.

Two words were written on it—"Pride."

Lin Jing: "!!!"

His eyes widened instantly.

Just then, a vast stream of information flooded into his mind.

Everything about the title "Pride" was etched into his memory.

[Title: Pride (First of the Seven Deadly Sins)] [Ability One: Absolute Arrogance. Every attack made by the host will carry a "Pride" mark.] [When the target's Soul Power Level is lower than the host's, the damage they take increases by five percent for every level they are below.] [If the target's Soul Power Level is higher than the host's, this effect is nullified.] [Ability Two: Contempt. The host can actively expend Soul Power to apply the "Contempt" effect to any target.]

[All attributes of the target held in contempt decreased by thirty percent.]

[Duration: ten seconds.]

[Cooldown: one hour.]

[Side effect: The Sin of Pride had sunk deep into the host's bones. He could feel reverence for no one, mortal or god.]

[At the same time, the host could not bow his head, apologize, or beg for mercy to anyone, mortal or god.]

[Not even as an act.]

After Lin Jing had absorbed all the information, he slowly opened his eyes.

The light in his gaze had changed greatly from before.

It was hard to explain, almost like...

Loneliness!
