Both draws had landed in the "skill pool," and both had struck "gold" on the first try.
It made Chu Sheng wonder if someone had rigged this for him!
Was his luck really that good?
"Keep drawing!"
Since his luck was this good, why wouldn't he keep going?
Saving up draws wouldn't make them breed...
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the skill-Sword-Drawing Technique."
"Don't lose heart, host. Perhaps the first two draws..."
Before the lottery system could finish, Chu Sheng defied the heavens and changed his fate!
"Load!"
The third draw had landed in the skill pool again!
Only this time, his luck had run out.
He could only reload and defy the heavens to change his fate!
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the concept-level skill-I'm Outta Here!"
"I'm Outta Here. As long as you want to leave, the road lies beneath your feet!"
"Activate this skill, and no matter what danger you face, you can always escape without lifting a finger."
Chu Sheng: "..."
Had his luck returned?
To anyone else, this concept-level skill was a divine skill among divine skills!
If you couldn't win, you could run-and you were guaranteed to get away.
What an outrageously unfair skill!
But to Chu Sheng, this skill was something of a chicken rib.
Useless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.
He had the reload system. If he couldn't win, he could just reload.
If even the reload system couldn't handle it, then he would die!
"I'll keep it. One more skill means one more layer of insurance."
"Three trips to the skill pool now..."
These skills were all powerful. Calling them terrifyingly powerful wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Keep going!"
Chu Sheng wanted to see whether the last draw would land in the skill pool too!
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the Golden Dragon King martial soul!"
At this system announcement, Chu Sheng's expression turned complicated.
This time, it was the martial soul pool. He ought to have been happy.
His Soul Master class was about to receive a massive boost, after all.
But... to him now, the Soul Master class was just so-so!
Of course, soul power was still very useful. Some of his abilities required it as a key to activate them.
Without enough soul power, he wouldn't be able to use those abilities.
"Now this is the kind of thing I should be drawing in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"With the Golden Dragon King martial soul, could the Silver Dragon King possibly get away?"
"Load!"
What kind of lousy martial soul was that?
Even if he drew the Dragon God, he wouldn't give him a second glance.
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the Dragon God..."
Chu Sheng: "..."
"Load!"
After who knew how many loops.
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the mythical martial soul-White Tiger!"
Looking at this system reward, Chu Sheng fell silent.
The Douluo Continent did have a White Tiger martial soul.
The Dai Family's lineage was particularly outstanding, practically the face of the White Tiger martial soul.
Mention the White Tiger martial soul, and people would think of the Star Luo Imperial Family-the Dai Family.
The White Tiger martial soul he had drawn was also a White Tiger, but this White Tiger was not that White Tiger.
This was the White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Beasts!
Even with only a hundred-millionth of his original power, he was far beyond anything the Dai Family's White Tiger could pretend to rival!
"He's the one!"
The process of Chu Sheng merging with the Sacred Beast White Tiger martial soul was utterly calm, without the slightest mishap.
During the merger, ten Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings appeared on him, and his soul power level broke through from seventy-four to eighty-four!
"Everything I've achieved today is thanks to my own hard work cultivating!"
Chu Sheng sighed and looked around.
For miles around, the chirping of insects and the roars of beasts had vanished, leaving only desolation.
After a long while, confusion appeared on Chu Sheng's face, bewilderment in his eyes.
"What's going on? Still nobody?"
Logically speaking, after several minutes for that wisp of draconic might to spread, someone from the Lake of Life should have come to investigate.
Yet despite waiting so long, there hadn't been the slightest movement.
Was that right?
If they didn't come to investigate, how was he supposed to take the next step?
Go straight to the Lake of Life?
"Forget it. Let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest first."
With his mind made up, Chu Sheng and the two girls stopped lingering in the Star Dou Great Forest and headed toward its outskirts.
He had underestimated the Star Dou Great Forest's size and overestimated the perception of Gu Yuena and the others.
That wisp of draconic might was indeed powerful. Under Chu Sheng's control, it could frighten thousand-year soul beasts unconscious and scare away ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Had he not restrained its power, Gu Yuena and Di Tian would have awakened long ago.
Precisely because he had restrained its power, Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and the others hadn't sensed it.
After all, they were asleep at the moment. They couldn't possibly monitor the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
In the shadows, the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting Ning Rongrong were already numb.
When the beasts had surrounded them, they had resolved to carve a bloody path for their young lady, even if it cost them their lives.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Chu Sheng would frighten hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts unconscious with his aura alone, and even scare away ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Could a Titled Douluo do something like that?
They had never seen it...
"How terrifying~"
"Just what rank has he reached as a Soul Master?"
"Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint??"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
"Even a mighty Soul Saint couldn't do something like that!"
"But he's so young!"
At Chu Sheng's age, he could only be considered a junior among Soul Masters.
Even the youngest Titled Douluo had only been a Soul Ancestor at this age...
"Just what kind of monster has our young lady latched onto~"
Yes, latched onto. Their young lady was the one who had struck gold, not Chu Sheng.
Throughout the entire history of Soul Masters, there had never been a monster like Chu Sheng.
"Boss, should we record this part?"
Upon hearing this,
The Soul Emperor fell into thought.
Logically, they ought to report everything exactly as it had happened. That was their duty.
But this was far too fantastical. If they reported it, the sect master might think they were making things up.
If someone else told them this story, they would think the same...
"Report it!"
Chu Sheng was already fantastical enough. Surely the sect master could accept him being a little more powerful.
The following day,
Chu Sheng, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at a restaurant.
"You menace, where are we going?"
Ning Rongrong fiddled with her chopsticks and looked at Chu Sheng.
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but her gaze likewise rested on Chu Sheng.
This man was the backbone of their little "team."
Chu Sheng stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He was strong now. Terrifyingly strong.
But his understanding of the Soul Master class was limited to the books from his previous life, and amounted to very little.
He could more or less recognize only some of the most famous Soul Masters...
This soul-hunting trip had exposed his "weakness."
If he picked soul beasts for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, with good luck, the two girls would obtain decent soul rings.
With bad luck, the two girls might have to start their lives over.
"Let's go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Chu Sheng finally reached a conclusion.
He would participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Therefore, he needed to join an academy.
Though Heaven Dou Royal Academy had a poor reputation, its resources were the best in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Of course, it was also one of the academies closest to Qian Renxue.
"None of us are nobles. If we want to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."
Ning Rongrong began.
She indeed wasn't a noble, but given her status...
Entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be no problem at all.
Zhu Zhuqing was a noble, but she was a noble of the Star Luo Empire.
As for Chu Sheng, he was simply a commoner.
