Douluo Continent: A new system every month, starting by tricking Tang San.

Chapter 4, the second new system: the Blind Box Sacrifice System!

[Please release your Martial Soul; it will evolve automatically!]

Upon hearing the system's command, Gu Xian concentrated his soul power in his right hand.

Immediately afterwards, a sickle appeared in his palm.

It was Gu Xian's martial spirit, the ordinary scythe.

The sickle has a normal metallic luster, a short blade, and a short curve.

On the contrary, the sickle handle is very long.

It's basically a sickle used for harvesting wheat.

【Ding! 】

[Host has released their Martial Soul!]

[The scythe-wielding spirit is about to begin its evolution!]

Just then, the system's voice resounded in Gu Xian's mind once again.

The moment the words left his mouth, the [Martial Soul Upgrade Card] instantly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the scythe in Gu Xian's right palm.

He let out a long breath, a little nervously.

However, the anticipated terrifying pressure did not materialize.

Instead, the next second, Gu Xian saw the scythe in his hand begin to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blade is wider and thicker, and the curvature is greatly extended.

The tip of the knife even strangely curved back into an arc resembling an eagle's beak.

The outer blade was incredibly sharp, gleaming with a terrifyingly cold light.

The inner blade has a row of sharp serrations, which is terrifying.

The sickle handle was also lengthened and thickened at the same time.

The sickle is entirely blue-black in color.

The evolved scythe exudes a powerful sense of awe simply from its design.

The sickle handle alone was almost as tall as Gu Xian.

He is now six years old and about 1.1 meters tall.

The fully evolved Shadow Scythe has reached a length of about 1.3 to 1.4 meters.

Holy crap!

"So big?"

"So long?"

Looking at the Shadow Scythe, which floats silently in the air by relying on soul power.

Gu Xian involuntarily swallowed.

This thing looks incredibly intimidating.

If Tang San were to get hit by this...

The latter is likely to disappear entirely.

After taking a deep breath, Gu Xian couldn't help but exclaim four words:

"Terrifying!"

Overall, he was very satisfied with the evolution of his martial soul.

【Ding! 】

[Martial Soul Evolution Complete!]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Gu Xian turned his gaze back to the system interface.

Then he directly clicked on [Host Information].

"Buzz—~!"

After the light screen flickered slightly, it transformed into the [Host Information] interface:

[Host: Gu Xian.]

Gender: Male.

Age: Six years old.

[Martial Soul: Shadow Scythe!]

[Soul Power: Level 8!]

[Soul Skill: None.]

"Um?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Xian's eyes.

My soul power has actually increased to level eight?

If I remember correctly, I didn't have any innate soul power at all.

Completing the beginner's mission only meant sharing the full innate soul power with Tang San.

In that case, it would only be level five soul power.

Looking at the terrifying black and blue giant scythe floating beside him.

Gu Xian already had a guess in his mind.

It must have been after evolving the martial soul that the soul power was increased to level eight.

【Ding! 】

[After the host's martial soul evolved, the overflowing energy was absorbed by the body, thereby raising the soul power to level eight.]

It seemed to sense what Gu Xian was thinking.

At the crucial moment, the system stepped in to offer an explanation.

Gu Xian nodded.

That makes sense.

Then, he closed the [Host Information] and opened the [System Shop].

"Buzz—~!"

The light screen trembled slightly, and then the system interface changed.

The glittering gold merchandise almost blinded Gu Xian.

"A five-thousand-year-old purple soul ring, priced at 9,999 System Essence. (Note: Can only be used as a second soul ring!)"

The second soul ring after five thousand years?

Did something go wrong?

"The Claw of the Dark Walker, a high-grade soul tool, is priced at 9,999 System Essence!"

Goodness!

This thing is already out?

"A 100,000-year-old, all-attribute soul bone, priced at 99,999 System Essence!"

A soul bone from 100,000 years ago?

Gu Xian was completely dumbfounded.

How come this system's shop sells everything?

And he even asked for 100,000 system essences right off the bat.

His gaze shifted to the upper right corner.

The essence of the system he now possesses is clearly written there:

500

Even with these 500 system essences, it's only after completing the beginner quests.

It's a bonus included.

Gu Xian then realized that there was nothing in the system's shop that he could afford.

The cheapest ones start at four figures.

According to his observation, the most cost-effective items were those that required "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine" system essences.

I can only save up the meager amount I have for now.

However, he did discover another very good feature of the system store.

That is, the system essence can be exchanged for the real currency of Douluo Continent at a proportional rate.

1 System Essence = 1 Gold Soul Coin.

Such a humane exchange rate is indeed quite good.

"Knock knock knock—~!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Xian withdrew his martial spirit.

Upon opening the door, the person who entered was, unsurprisingly, Old Jack, the village chief.

He came to tell me about going to Notting College in three months.

However, he didn't look well, obviously having just come from Tang San's house.

He had a very unpleasant falling out with Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

After exchanging a few more words with Gu Xian, Old Jack left.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The day before, Old Jack had come to remind Gu Xian again.

The next morning, just as he finished getting ready, Old Jack, the village chief, came to knock on the door to pick him up.

The two of them went to the blacksmith shop together to pick up Tang San.

The sun had just risen on the horizon, and the damp mist in the air had not yet dissipated.

The three of them then embarked on the road to Nottingham.

Although Nottingham City is not far from Holy Soul Village, it still takes at least half a day to get there.

It was early afternoon when the three of them spotted Nottingham in the distance.

Having successfully entered the city, Gu Xian found the sights inside quite novel.

This was the first time he had ever experienced the unique architectural style of the Douluo Continent.

The three of them headed towards the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy without stopping.

Soon, Gu Xian could vaguely see the four large characters "Notting Academy" on the gate.

If it follows the normal plot...

It seems like the famous scene of Tang San being harassed by the gatekeeper is just around the corner.

Then Yu Xiaogang made a pretentious appearance.

After a series of persuasive words, Tang San felt as if he had woken up from a dream and had met a benefactor in his life.

Then he knelt down and acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his father.

Sure enough, Gu Xian noticed from a distance that the gatekeeper was looking at the three of them.

"What are you doing here? Is this a place for country bumpkins like you?"

As soon as I approached, the gatekeeper's classic shouting rang out.

【Ding! 】

[One month has passed, and the new system has begun random selection!]

[1%, 50%, 100%!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the new Blind Box Sacrifice System!]

This system will last for one month, after which a new round of draws will automatically begin!

[New System Effect: Sacrificing items can randomly yield blind boxes!]

The blind box tiers, from lowest to highest, are: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Epic, and Legendary!
