"Start the lucky draw."

In an instant, the enormous wheel spun rapidly within his consciousness. Countless golden lights streaked past, and the dazzling phantoms of prizes left his eyes struggling to keep up.

The wheel gradually slowed, finally settling on a gentle, jade-colored glow.

[Congratulations, host! Lucky draw successful. Cultivation technique obtained: Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Art] [Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Art]: A top-tier support cultivation technique. Increases soul power circulation speed by thirty percent. Compatible with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile martial soul.

Qian Daoliu's brow shifted slightly. This cultivation technique belonged exclusively to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He suddenly recalled the delicate balancing act the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect maintained between the two great empires. It might come in handy someday.

Before his thoughts settled, the wheel spun again. This time, an icy-blue streak lit up, as biting as the Far North.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Ice Art] [Ice Art]: An ultimate ice-attribute cultivation technique. Can fuse perfectly with ice-type martial souls, increasing the power of ice-type soul skills by fifty percent.]

"Just what Ah Ling needs."

A faint smile spread across Qian Daoliu's lips as he etched the cultivation technique's information deep into his mind.

The light of the third draw carried a razor-sharp edge. The wheel jolted, and the phantom of a staff flashed past. When the wheel stopped, the image of an ancient bamboo scroll appeared.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Thousand Jun Staff Art] [Thousand Jun Staff Art]: An earth-tier staff technique manual comprising seventy-two forms. Specializes in breaking all kinds of formations and defensive soul skills. Created by the Elder Spirit Monkey, it combines hardness and softness, wielding the heavy as though it were light. At full mastery, it can shake mountains. Note: Its creator once performed the magnificent feat of "wreaking havoc in Heaven."

Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted slightly-a spirit monkey, wreaking havoc in Heaven... This was clearly the legacy of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

He instinctively looked out the window, as though he could already see Jiang Mo wielding the Coiling Dragon Staff. For Jiang Mo, this staff art was nothing short of a windfall dropped from the heavens.

"If that brat Jiang Mo gets his hands on this, he'll probably make his Coiling Dragon Staff dance like a blossoming flower."

A trace of amusement flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes. This staff art and Jiang Mo's martial soul were truly a match made in heaven.

The following draws grew increasingly astonishing. On the fourth draw, brilliant golden light flared across the wheel, its sacred aura almost breaking free of the confines of his consciousness:

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Angel Martial Soul Advancement Card ×1] [Angel Martial Soul Advancement Card]: Unconditionally raises an angel martial soul's quality by one grade without affecting subsequent evolution.]

Perfect. His angel martial soul had never been able to match the Chaos Bell's quality, and this card could narrow the gap between them. Qian Daoliu's fingertips twitched as he began considering the possibilities that martial soul evolution would bring.

On the fifth draw, dark golden light flowed like ink. When the wheel stopped, the runes on the card seemed to writhe:

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Curse-Breaking Card ×1] [Curse-Breaking Card]: Can remove any curse on a martial soul or any negative restrictions imposed by a martial soul.

"Interesting."

A cold curve lifted the corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth, and a sharp, calculating gleam flashed in his golden eyes.

"This card is even more intriguing than the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Art."

A curse on a martial soul... His first thought was of the nine heart begonia. This martial soul was passed down through a single line, with only one successor in each generation. Only two nine heart begonia soul masters could be alive at the same time; only after one died could another appear among their descendants.

The nine heart begonia could be called a miracle among martial souls.

The sixth draw's light carried the chill of metal. A blueprint covered in intricate patterns slowly unfurled within the wheel.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Level 9 Soul Tool Blueprint · Soul-Gathering Array Disk] [Soul-Gathering Array Disk]: Gathers soul power within a ten-li radius to form a soul-gathering domain, tripling cultivation speed. Requires special metals and soul power to operate.

A Level 9 Soul Tool!

A Level 9 Soul Tool! Qian Daoliu's heart jolted. This array disk alone could triple Spirit Hall's cultivation efficiency.

He lightly tapped his knee with his fingertips, already considering which skilled craftsmen Qian Ji should seek out to forge it.

The seventh draw's light was gentle and mysterious. An ancient book shimmering with contract runes appeared:

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Complete Guide to Soul Spirit Contracts] [Complete Guide to Soul Spirit Contracts]: Contains contract methods for all types of soul spirits. Includes the "Artificial Soul Spirit Breeding Guide," allowing controllable artificial soul spirits to be created using soul beast blood essence and soul crystals.

Qian Daoliu's pupils abruptly contracted-soul spirits! This was the Spirit Pagoda's core secret ten thousand years in the future.

With it, the relationship between soul masters and soul beasts might be completely rewritten. The continent's entire cultivation system could be reshaped.

On the eighth draw, a crystal-clear soul bone appeared at the center of the wheel. The brilliant luster unique to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone almost broke free of the confines of his consciousness.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Hundred-Thousand-Year Free Soul Bone] [Hundred-Thousand-Year Free Soul Bone]: The absorber may freely choose which body part it fuses with. Grants two exclusive soul skills.

"Excellent!" Qian Daoliu could not help exclaiming under his breath. If he gave this soul bone to Bibi Dong to absorb and triggered a rebate like the pills had before, the returns would surely be immeasurable.

The ninth draw's light carried a dragon's imposing aura. An entirely golden egg covered in scales hovered above the wheel.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg] [Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg]: A dragon egg containing pure light power. Once hatched, the dragon will be absolutely loyal to the host and possess absolute suppression over the dark attribute.

The tenth draw's light carried the delicate fragrance of pills. A pill formula slowly unfolded:

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Age-Enhancement Pill Formula] [Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Age-Enhancement Pill Formula]: The finished pill can increase the age of a soul ring below thirty thousand years by ten thousand years.]

On the final draw, the wheel's rotation slowed, eventually settling on a gentle white light.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained: "God-given" Soul Ring] ["God-given" Soul Ring]: A system-produced soul beast soul ring, not naturally formed. Automatically adjusts its age according to the host's physical tolerance, soul power level, and martial soul characteristics, ensuring perfect absorption by the soul master.

Looking at the God-given Soul Ring, Qian Daoliu froze briefly before relaxing. With this, he would no longer have to agonize over which soul beast to choose.

[A total of 11 rewards obtained in this session. All have been deposited in system storage.]

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, the flowing light of the system panel reflected in his golden irises. Phantoms of the eleven prizes appeared in his palm one after another. From cultivation techniques and cards to a soul bone and a dragon egg, every single one was enough to shake the entire Douluo Continent.

The Curse-Breaking Card could undo the nine heart begonia's fated restrictions, the soul spirit system could rewrite the continent's rules, and that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone...

"System, if I give this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Bibi Dong to absorb, will it trigger a rebate?"

He asked inwardly.

[Yes!]

The system's answer was concise and certain.

Qian Daoliu looked toward Bibi Dong's room, his gaze shifting slightly. He had to find an opportunity for her to absorb it and secure the rebate first.

"I've hit the jackpot this time."

The moonlight outside remained cool and clear, yet it could not conceal the fire in his eyes. He knew that with these opportunities, Spirit Hall's future-and even the balance of power across the entire Douluo Continent-would be rewritten by his hand.

A confident smile curved Qian Daoliu's lips. With a light flick of his fingertips, a sphere of light appeared in his palm. It was none other than the "God-given" Soul Ring.

In an instant, the phantom of the Chaos Bell behind him let out a clear, resonant chime. The air in the room suddenly thickened, and soul power surged like a tide...

That night, the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City remained utterly silent. Only within that tightly shut room did flashes of icy blue, golden yellow, and purple lightning occasionally flicker, illuminating the ambition and anticipation burning in Qian Daoliu's eyes.
