The Best Possible Draw

"At this point, all we can do is rest up and watch how things unfold."

Yu Xian had no other options. Some things could be done, and some simply could not. He understood better than anyone how cruel reality was, so he offered no empty words of comfort.

He simply took out his phone, sat inside a Bubble, and continued reading through Qilin's internal files.

Strength could be divided into hard power and soft power. Filling his mind with knowledge was also a way of becoming stronger, and he was now impatient to grow stronger.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Since he could fly now, he could chase after the sun. Perhaps he could awaken Pangu's Divine Ability ahead of time.

However, when he told Zhang Shou and Gong Qian about his idea, Gong Qian rolled her eyes. "Chase the sun? I don't know what you're planning, but I have to tell you this: the moment you fly beyond our borders and enter another country, you could be shot down at any minute by some bizarre ability. Other countries have Dragon Level powerhouses too!"

China had Dragon Level experts guarding its borders, so naturally foreign countries had them as well.

Even if some smaller countries lacked Dragon Level powerhouses, they still had Tiger Rank experts.

"All right, forget it." The moment Yu Xian heard that, he abandoned the plan.

He had no desire to be blasted out of the sky as an invader by another country. He was not done living yet.

He continued looking at his phone. Before midnight, Zhang Shou decisively killed himself. After reviving, he continued treating Gong Qian. The first time Gong Qian saw Zhang Shou commit suicide, she was badly startled. Only after Zhang Shou turned back into a teenager did she realize he was not some sleazy middle-aged uncle.

In the latter half of the night, Gong Qian fell asleep without realizing it, poisoned and bored as she was. Zhang Shou, on the other hand, had refreshed his condition, so it was equivalent to having just slept for him. He was full of energy instead.

Yu Xian chatted idly with Zhang Shou until around five in the morning.

Then he thought of something. Even within China, the vast territory meant there were still time differences. In some places, the sun had risen, while in others, it had not.

It was already past five. He could still get ahead of the sun and welcome its light early.

He informed Zhang Shou, then swiftly flew high into the sky and headed east. After flying for around ten minutes, he saw the sun gradually rising beyond the distant horizon.

Sunlight fell over him. He closed his eyes comfortably, and the Blood of Silver strengthened his ability to absorb sunlight. In an instant, his entire body turned pitch-black.

As the sun climbed ever higher toward the middle of the sky, Yu Xian absorbed more and more sunlight.

At around ten-thirty in the morning, Pangu's Heart within Yu Xian's chest rapidly heated up. Yesterday, he had already stored energy equivalent to thirty-five heartbeats. Now, he had finally gathered enough for thirty-six.

Pangu's Blood contracted violently before beginning to pulse powerfully, completely detonating the energy accumulated within his heart.

Fortunately, as his physique improved, Yu Xian's endurance had become far stronger. Even with that massive energy surging through his body, his expression did not change.

As the energy erupted, it also cleansed his muscles and bones, improving his physique.

Then, the energy gradually transformed into light, translucent power and rapidly gathered toward his dantian.

Yu Xian immediately knew what talent he had awakened.

Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability.

This ability could condense a spirit pearl within his dantian and open up an enormous space.

"It actually was the worst possible draw."

What Yu Xian wanted most was Pangu's Undying Divine Ability, followed by Pangu's Divine Might. What he wanted least was Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability. After all, he already had a storage ring; he had no need for another, larger storage ring.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, the energy meant to condense the spirit pearl and open the space suddenly collided with another energy within his dantian.

Previously, Blood Energy flowed through his blood vessels. After consuming Pangu's Blood, his mutated Blood Energy had somehow settled within his dantian instead. Its mobilization speed had actually increased, so Yu Xian had not paid it much attention.

But he had not expected the two energies to collide. He could only watch silently, not daring to interfere in the slightest, afraid that one wrong move would make things worse.

The two energies continuously clashed and merged within his dantian, gradually becoming a stream of pure white energy.

Perhaps because the mutation of his Blood Energy was related to Pangu's Blood, the entire process went unexpectedly smoothly. Even as the energies collided, there was barely a ripple.

Once the mutation was over, his dantian returned to calm.

Wait!

Yu Xian froze and could not help muttering, "That isn't right. Where's my spirit pearl?"

He carefully sensed his dantian, refusing to overlook even the smallest corner.

In the end, he had to admit that although he had awakened Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability, the energy used to condense the spirit pearl and open the space had fused with his Mutated Blood Energy. As a result, he truly had no spirit pearl!

He was probably the only person in all of China with Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability but no spirit pearl.

"Forget it. If it's gone, it's gone."

Yu Xian sighed and consoled himself. In any case, this Divine Ability had never been his goal.

Next, he tried mobilizing the energy in his dantian and discovered that it moved even more smoothly than Mutated Blood Energy. In an instant, he transferred it into his hand.

With a thought, a Bubble rapidly formed.

Yu Xian carefully examined the new Bubble but could see nothing different from its appearance. So he reached a hand into it. The next second, his eyes widened slightly. Within his sensory world, he could clearly feel the presence of that hand.

He pulled his hand out, then put it back into the Bubble, repeating the motion again and again to confirm that the sensation was not an illusion.

But then came the question: what was it useful for?

He controlled the Bubble, turning it this way and that, then released it to test its various properties.

First, the Bubble's spatial barrier had become more stable and could withstand twenty times the speed of sound. Furthermore, none of its original abilities had disappeared. Its attack power had instead increased dramatically.

"Was it merely strengthened?" Yu Xian felt somewhat disappointed.

He guided the Bubble back to his right hand, then habitually condensed another Bubble with his left. Two basketball-sized Bubbles spun above his palms, and he simply stuck both hands inside them.

The next second, he revealed an incredulous expression and lowered his head to look at the two Bubbles. His hands slowly stretched forward, and in an instant, his left and right hands switched places. His left hand appeared in the Bubble on his right, while his right hand appeared in the Bubble on his left.

The spaces inside the two Bubbles were actually connected.

He immediately enlarged both Bubbles, climbed into one of them himself, and retrieved the old Bubble while he was at it.

Then, with a thought, he appeared in the other Bubble.

"As expected... the spaces inside two Bubbles really can teleport between each other!" Yu Xian sat within a Bubble, looking at the Bubble opposite him, his heart filled with wild delight.

Compared to Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability merely giving him extra storage space, this mutated ability was absolutely a life-saving divine skill!

"So this was the best possible draw!"

Yu Xian was so overjoyed that he could not help laughing aloud.

This ability was incredible. Even if someone offered him the genuine Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability, he absolutely would not trade for it.

Next, he continuously created Bubbles, and more and more filled the sky. Originally, the Mutated Blood Energy in his body could only support the creation of one hundred Bubbles two meters in diameter. But now, the newly generated energy in his body could support five hundred such Bubbles.

Moreover, when Mutated Blood Energy created Bubbles, its recovery speed within his body was very slow if the Bubbles were not retrieved. But the new energy recovered almost ten times faster than before. Even if those Bubbles were not retrieved and were fixed in certain places, he could still recover in a short time.

"Time to head back."

Yu Xian's figure continuously flickered through different Bubbles. Because his teleportation speed was too fast, it looked as though every Bubble contained him.

After practicing until he became proficient, he looked toward the vaguely visible battlefield in the distance and felt that it did not seem so terrifying anymore.
