Ten Draws

Xiao Yu heard the system's prompt that the mission had been completed and excitedly opened the panel to check.

[Side Character System]

Name: Xiao Yu

Level: Level 1 (1\100)

Strength: Dou Power, Sixth Stage

Technique: 0

Dou Skill: 0

Main Mission: Xiao Yan has suffered a heavy blow. As the strongest side character, you must seize the opportunity to encourage him and help him pull himself together. Reward upon completion: 100 experience points, Alchemist Talent (Completed)

Xiao Yu stared at the mission panel and said to the system, "System, I want to claim the mission reward."

"Ding! Main mission—encourage Xiao Yan to pull himself together—has been completed. Rewards claimed: 100 experience points and Alchemist Talent."

"Ding! Host has reached Level 2 and has officially embarked on the journey to become the strongest side character in Battle Through the Heavens. The Event Shop has opened, and the Strongest Side Character Novice Gift Pack has been unlocked."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was so excited he nearly jumped up. Sure enough, the novice gift pack had arrived just as expected!

Xiao Yu saw an icon shaped like a gift pack appear on the system panel. This had to be his novice gift pack, though he had no idea what good stuff it would contain.

He also noticed an Event Shop option had appeared on the system panel. In other words, as he continued leveling up, the system would unlock more modules. They simply weren't displayed yet because his level was too low.

After opening the novice gift pack, several messages popped up on Xiao Yu's panel.

"Ding! Gift pack opened. Host has obtained ten draw chances."

"Ding! Gift pack opened. Host has obtained the Pure Yang Blazing Fire Body."

"Ding! Gift pack opened. Host has obtained a high-grade Xuan Tier technique: Sun Devouring Technique."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu grinned. The Pure Yang Blazing Fire Body—just from the name, he could tell it was related to fire. It seemed that his arrival in the Dou Qi Continent was destined to be inseparable from fire. First there was the Flame Emperor, and now this Blazing Fire Body.

As for the high-grade Xuan Tier Sun Devouring Technique, there was even less need to mention it. The technique cultivated by the Xiao Clan's patriarch was only high-grade Yellow Rank. A high-grade Xuan Tier technique was an absolute treasure to him right now.

Let's take a look at the item descriptions.

Pure Yang Blazing Fire Body: One of the three thousand superior spiritual bodies among the three thousand worlds. It possesses exceptional affinity with fire spiritual energy and is beloved by the fire element. Cultivating fire-attribute techniques will yield twice the results with half the effort.

Sun Devouring Technique: A high-grade Xuan Tier fire-attribute technique. It strengthens one's spiritual flame by devouring flames, turns spirit into fire, and uses fire to chase the sun.

After reading the descriptions, Xiao Yu's smile widened. Chasing the sun with fire? Standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun through flames? That was rather interesting. Since the system rated this technique so highly, its effects would surely surpass his expectations.

"Does the host wish to accept the rewards?" the system suddenly asked.

"Accept, accept!"

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Yu felt a warm current sweep through his body. Then an unbearable pain surged through him. Caught completely off guard, he collapsed onto the bed and clutched the blanket tightly to keep himself from crying out.

Otherwise, if someone discovered him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

Xiao Yu felt as though his body had been brutally torn apart and reassembled. By then, even if he wanted to scream, he couldn't. He had no control over his body at all. In the end, unable to endure the pain any longer, Xiao Yu passed out.

He didn't know how long had passed before he gradually regained consciousness. The pain in his body had completely vanished, replaced by a tingling, numb pleasure.

After a while, Xiao Yu finally returned to normal. "System, why was changing my physique so painful?"

"Changing your physique, in terms you can understand, involves first breaking apart your original physique at the molecular level, then reconstructing your body. That is why it felt as though your body was being torn apart."

Xiao Yu gave a bitter smile. "I really don't want to experience that feeling a second time."

Just thinking about it made Xiao Yu shudder. Anyone who hadn't experienced it personally would never understand that kind of pain.

"By the way, System, don't you have a name? I can't just keep calling you System, can I?"

The system fell silent for several seconds before replying, "The host may set a nickname for the system."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment. "Then I'll call you Century Egg. Hahaha, I suddenly miss the century eggs from my hometown, but I'm afraid I'll never get to eat them again."

After coming to another world, how could returning home possibly be easy?

Remembering that he still had a ten-draw pull, Xiao Yu followed Century Egg's guidance to the Event Shop and found the draw section. There, he saw all sorts of rewards in the lottery area.

Heaven-tier techniques, Heaven-tier Dou Skills, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the Nihility Devouring Flame...

Don't ask why Xiao Yu recognized them as good things at a glance. It wasn't just their names—it was because all those items had golden backgrounds!

Golden legends—who wouldn't love them?

However, most of the items in the shop were gray, with green backgrounds making up the majority. It seemed just like an online game, with item quality divided into gray, green, blue, purple, and gold.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yu reached out and tapped the draw option. He closed his eyes and silently prayed for something good, but then he caught sight of an option labeled an ordinary weed. Xiao Yu instantly understood that he shouldn't hope for those golden legends.

As the spinning draw box gradually slowed, Xiao Yu received his prizes.

"Obtained: Experience +10"

"Obtained: A broken stone"

"Obtained: An ordinary weed"

"Obtained: Experience +10"

"Obtained: Experience +10"

"Obtained: Low-grade Yellow Rank Dou Skill, Raging Flame Palm"

"Obtained: Storage Ring"

Xiao Yu felt he could barely accept these results. The low-grade Yellow Rank Dou Skill suited him perfectly at his current level. As for the weed and broken stone, he chose to ignore them. No one would know anyway. Besides, he had even gotten a Storage Ring, which was like a lamp in a dark room for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have anywhere to hide the things he drew.

"The host need not worry that drawn items will be exposed, because the system comes with its own storage space." Perhaps sensing Xiao Yu's thoughts, the system responded.

Hearing the system's voice, Xiao Yu froze briefly before realizing it was right. Now that he had the system, the Storage Ring was far less useful. Still, selling it or keeping it to mislead others in the future would both be good options.

Xiao Yu then opened the panel again to inspect it.

[Side Character System]

Name: Xiao Yu

Level: Level 2 (Experience 1\200)

Strength: Dou Power, Sixth Stage

Technique: 0

Dou Skill: 0

Main Mission: 0

After checking it, Xiao Yu discovered that his Dou Power had risen by another stage. It was likely that the improvement to his physique had caused his Dou Power to break through as well.

Leaving aside what he had gained from the system, merely talking with Xiao Yan had brought them closer. Moreover, Xun'er and Xiao Zhan must have been hiding nearby at the time; he simply hadn't been able to detect them.

That meant he had entered Xiao Zhan and Xun'er's field of vision. As long as he continued following Xiao Yan from now on, he wouldn't arouse their suspicion, and he would effectively have backers.

As for himself, his body had undergone a qualitative leap. Now that he had a cultivation technique, all he needed to do next was practice Dou Skills. As for everything else, he could simply follow the plot in his mind and stick with Xiao Yan.

Still, when Xiao Yu thought about helping Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent within ten years, his head began to ache. If things followed the original plot, he didn't even know whether his ashes would still remain by then. So he could only take the initiative to change certain things within a manageable range. Otherwise, the longer time dragged on, the more variables there would be.

As a transmigrator with a system, he couldn't disgrace the countless transmigrators who came before him. Besides, tomorrow seemed to be the first major climax of Battle Through the Heavens!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never mock a poor youth.
