Orange?
Legendary!
Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly widened.
He had seen a few purple rare-quality items, but this was the first orange legendary item to appear.
"I wonder what it is. Probably more junk."
Without a martial soul, treasures in the eyes of soul masters were no different from junk to Lin Xiao.
Yet when his gaze fell on the item inside the jar, he froze.
Item: [Awakening Ticket] Grade: [Legendary] Type: [Untradeable] Description: [Can be used for martial soul awakening or evolution.] Effect: [Upon use, awakens a martial soul if the user has none. If the user already has a martial soul, it can evolve once.]
"Hiss..."
Martial soul awakening? Isn't that ability perfect for me?
Lin Xiao sucked in a sharp breath.
Then wild delight surged through him.
If I can awaken a martial soul, won't those eight Level-Up Tickets I got earlier finally have a use?
Lin Xiao also noticed the "martial soul evolution" ability.
In other words, an Awakening Ticket was equivalent to an immortal herb.
"No, an Awakening Ticket is worth even more than an immortal herb. It doesn't specify any limit on the number of uses. That means as long as I can get more Awakening Tickets, I can keep evolving my martial soul indefinitely. In the original story, anyone other than the protagonist could only take one immortal herb."
"Of course, even the protagonist couldn't take them without limit. Too many would make his body explode."
Lin Xiao instantly recognized the Awakening Ticket's value.
"Forget it. Whatever an Awakening Ticket is worth, I'm going to use it anyway."
With that thought, Lin Xiao tore the Awakening Ticket apart.
A golden light burst from the scroll and enveloped Lin Xiao.
The next moment, Lin Xiao felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring. The warmth and comfort nearly made him moan aloud.
[Host detected as an outsider. Unable to awaken a martial soul. This system will incorporate Dungeon City features for the host, transforming one randomly selected class from the five classes in the Dungeon Fighter game world into the host's martial soul. Do you accept?]
Uh... what the fuck is this nonsense now?
Looking down on transmigrators, are you?
Lin Xiao felt the Douluo Continent's deep malice toward him.
At the same time, he recalled the different classes in Dungeon Fighter.
The Ghost Swordsman's five classes were Sword Soul, Berserker, Asura, Specter, and Soul Bender.
As for class strength, aside from the Berserker-which stood apart, living up to the saying "each patch crowns a new god, but the great red god reigns in every patch"-the remaining classes were fairly close. Each had once ascended to the throne of a T0 god-tier class.
"Since I've come to the Douluo Continent, of course I have to find a chance to explore. How can I do that without powerful strength at my side?
"Forget far-off dangers and look at what's right here. This is Spirit City. Soul masters are everywhere... I'm invincible inside the shop, but what if I get into a fight with someone outside one day?
"So I have no choice but to accept. But... please don't give me Asura!"
Lin Xiao prayed silently, then said in his mind, Accept.
As for why he didn't want Asura... the reason was simple.
Asura was blind...
[Random class selection for the host will now begin.] [Congratulations, host. Martial soul obtained: Sword Soul. Innate soul power: level 1.]
"The white prince will do..."
Hearing the system notification, Lin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a shame he hadn't gotten the great red god, but avoiding the blind man was a blessing amid misfortune.
Besides, compared with the great red god's explosive damage, the blind heavenly emperor's endless crowd control, and Soul Bender's ability to both fight and support, Sword Soul wasn't without an advantage...
It looked cool!
Lin Xiao remembered a line those goofy Sword Soul players in Dungeon City were always saying: "Who needs damage? Looking cool is all that matters!"
As the system notification faded, Lin Xiao opened his palm.
A dazzling longsword formed entirely of light appeared in his hand.
It was the very symbol of Sword Soul-a Lightsaber!
"Not bad. Just having a martial soul is good enough. At least the Level-Up Tickets finally have a use."
With that thought, Lin Xiao picked up the eight Level-Up Tickets from earlier and tore them apart one by one.
Light flashed again and again. In just a few breaths, Lin Xiao went straight from level-one soul power to level nine.
Any soul master who witnessed such a terrifying speed would have been left wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
"A little level-nine Sword Soul. I wonder whether I'll need to hunt for a soul ring to advance at level ten, or whether I can break through directly once I have enough experience, like in the game?"
"I still have eleven jars left, including two with double drops. Judging by the odds so far, getting another three, five, seven, or eight Level-Up Tickets wouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
Thinking this, Lin Xiao picked up the hammer and struck the Ten Jar.
Crack.
Purple light flashed.
When Lin Xiao saw the two items that had dropped from the jar, he couldn't help freezing.
"Not tickets? Two Dolls instead?"
Lin Xiao put down the hammer and picked up the two Dolls.
Item: [Soderos Puppet] Grade: [Rare] Type: [Untradeable] Description: [Summons Soderos upon use.] Effect: [Summons Soderos for one day. He will obey the user's every command. Note: The Doll will also disappear when its HP is depleted. Only one Doll can exist at a time.]
"Holy shit."
"I actually got old man Suō?"
Lin Xiao froze as information about Soderos surfaced in his mind.
Soderos, the founder of Sword Soul, possessed a special talent that allowed him to resonate with the weapons around him and was proficient with tens of thousands of weapons. This special talent let him unleash tremendous power in battle. He was one of the strongest known humans on the Arad Continent.
Together with Blade Master Liang Yue, he had pioneered the path of the Sword God.
"Let's see how this Soderos differs from the one in my game."
With that thought, Lin Xiao took one Soderos Doll and tossed it onto the floor.
Bang.
A ball of light flared.
A figure emerged from the radiance.
He wore simple, practical swordsman's clothes, with several swords of different shapes and lengths strapped to his back.
Yet his presence was not intimidating.
This must be what happens when swordsmanship reaches its pinnacle and returns to its purest simplicity.
As Lin Xiao thought this, Soderos approached him, dropped to one knee, and said respectfully:
"Soderos greets his master!"
Well, well. You beat me down a thousand times before, and now you're kneeling before me?
Feels damn good!
Lin Xiao savored the satisfaction of finally avenging an old grudge!
"Soderos, how strong are you right now?" He asked another question that mattered greatly to him.
How powerful would a pinnacle figure from Dungeon City be in Douluo?
"Master, my current strength is not at its peak. My level is roughly equivalent to that of a Level 95 Titled Douluo."
Soderos answered.
Lin Xiao could understand that. After all, there was the matter of Soderos's grade.
It was already quite impressive for a rare-grade Doll to give Soderos Level 95 strength.
Lin Xiao also speculated that summoning Soderos at his full strength would require a Doll of at least legendary or epic grade.
"Then, since you're Level 95, how does your actual combat strength compare to that of a Level 95 Titled Douluo? Who would be stronger?"
Lin Xiao asked again, his face full of curiosity.
Soderos pondered for a moment. "Master, we would have to fight to find out."
