When he woke up, he realized that it was already the next day. Fang Xuan yawned lazily and got out of the bathtub. He used his sole force to dry the water droplets on his body and took two steps forward to stand in front of the huge full-length mirror. A clear reflection appeared in the mirror.
His black hair was as unrestrained as the clouds, his black eyes were as bright as the stars, and his handsome facial features, and his well-defined facial contours, coupled with his well-proportioned and fair abdominal muscles.
He became more handsome again …
His looks were off the charts.
Fang Xuan's appearance had increased exponentially along with his strength. Currently, his appearance had already reached an explosive state. However, it was useless. Could it be that the enemy would show mercy in battle because of his handsome appearance?
Not. Unless the enemy was a female pervert.
And the kind that was prepared to suck Fang Xuan dry as a cauldron.
Waking up from his boring fantasy, Fang Xuan put on a white bathrobe and tightened his black belt. He walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.
"Rumble …"
At this time, his stomach protested strongly. Fang Xuan was stunned. He rubbed his slightly shriveled stomach and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten anything the entire day yesterday. For Fang Xuan, filling his stomach was the most important thing.
"Waiter, give me some breakfast. Give me a lot"
Fang Xuan pushed open the door and called out to a waitress in the corridor who was holding a glass of red wine. He ordered from the nearest hotel.
"Yes sir, please wait for a moment"
The waitress smiled sweetly and immediately went to prepare breakfast for Fang Xuan.
Apart from being expensive, this Royal Hotel's service and efficiency were top-notch.
In a short while, all of Fang Xuan's dishes were served.
There were fried eggs, fried pork chops, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and so on. Together with two bowls of white rice and a glass of red wine, it looked, smelled, and tasted good. Fang Xuan's appetite was stimulated and he wolfed down the food.
A table full of dishes was soon swept clean by Fang Xuan is like a tornado, cleanly annihilating everything.
"Burp"
Fang Xuan sat comfortably on the sofa and let out a comfortable burp. He patted his round belly. He was finally done eating.
After resting for a while, Fang Xuan ate and drank his fill until 10 AM. Then, he began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation. This was his main job.
After killing the Soul Sage yesterday, the system rewarded him with a total of one million Sword Draws and Soul Points. Fang Xuan hadn't had the time to absorb them yet. Now that he had some free time, he could refine himself and increase his strength.
"Huff …"
Fang Xuan walked to the center of the living room and sat cross-legged on the smooth floor. He calmed his mind and focused. After some thought, he chose to absorb the one million Soul Points first.
One million Soul Points! He would probably be able to jump several levels this time.
Fang Xuan was a little excited. He was full of anticipation as to how much his strength would increase after absorbing the one million points of soul power. Next, he focused and began to absorb the Soul Points.
…
[Level up successful. Congratulations on reaching Level 54]
…
[Level up successful. Congratulations on reaching Level 55]
…
[Current Level: 55. Soul Points (351,200/500,000)]
Fang Xuan's soul power increased by two ranks, and his soul power finally stopped at Rank 55.
To be honest, this was far from what he had expected.
He had thought that the one million Soul Points would allow him to reach Level 57 or 58. He might even be able to break through to become a Soul Emperor.
However, while dreams were beautiful, reality was cruel.
As his level increased, the Soul Points Fang Xuan needed to level up increased greatly. The Soul Points he needed to reach Level 55 were as high as five hundred thousand Soul Points. This was terrifying.
The corner of Fang Xuan's mouth twitched violently as he looked at this astronomical amount of experience points. He doubted whether there would be so many Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent for him to kill when he became a Titled Douluo in the future.
He estimated that killing all the Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent wouldn't be enough for Fang Xuan to reach Level 100.
In the end, Fang Xuan might have to pick up his sword and slay a god …
…
After absorbing the Soul Points, Fang Xuan didn't rest.
He immediately started the exciting lottery. He had a total of one million Soul Draws, in addition to the Soul Draws he had accumulated in the past.
He had a total of 1.1 million Soul Draws.
On average, he used 100 Soul Draws per draw. 1.1 million Soul Draws meant 11,000 Soul Draws.
A miracle would happen this time.
Fang Xuan was full of confidence. He swore to destroy the Lottery Roulette and aim for the final luxurious gift bag — the 100,000-year Soul Ring.
It took time for the Lottery Roulette to spin. On average, it took three seconds for the Lottery Roulette to spin.
With more than 10,000 Soul Draws, it would probably take him more than ten hours.
After that, he began his long Lottery Roulette journey … Fang Xuan's Lottery Roulette journey finally ended in the evening.
1.1 million Soul Draws were used up completely. There wasn't even a single Soul Draw left.
The items he had exchanged were also very rich. Fang Xuan was ecstatic. He couldn't hide his excitement. He calmed his mind and turned his attention from the Lottery Roulette to his system bag. He began to check his gains.
[100-year Soul Ring * 2010]
[1,000-year Soul Ring * 150]
[10,000-year Soul Ring * 10]
[50,000-year Soul Ring * 3]
[Talent Points * 1000]
[Basic Mastery * 520]
[1,000-year Soul Ring Cultivation (limited to those under 10,000-year) * 10]
Looking at the pile of luxurious items, Fang Xuan was very excited. With three 50,000-year Soul Rings and 1,000 Talent Points, he could directly upgrade two of his Martial Souls to a higher level.
With 520 Basic Mastery, his Soul Drawing Mastery could be upgraded to a higher level
The only regrettable thing was that this thousand-year Soul Ring's cultivation x10 had a restriction on its usage.
It could only be used on Soul Rings below the ten thousand-year level. Fang Xuan felt extremely regretful.
All of his Soul Rings had now been upgraded to the ten thousand-year level. This tool to increase the cultivation of Soul Rings was useless. What a pity. He had some doubts. He didn't know if the prizes in the
The Lottery Roulette System would change as he leveled up.
After all, many items in the Basic Lottery Roulette system were useless to Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan felt that when he broke through to a higher level, the Lottery Roulette System and the items in the store might change greatly.
Fang Xuan's gaze swept past the numerous props, and he went to the deepest part of the backpack. He looked at the blood-red soul ring that was lying quietly in the corner, and his entire heart trembled with excitement.
"100,000-year Soul Ring!! Hahahaha … "
Fang Xuan laughed heartily. Looking at the red 100,000-year Soul Ring, he was so excited that his whole body trembled.
After more than 10,000 tries of the Lottery Roulette, Fang Xuan finally got what he wanted. He drew the number one item in the Lottery Roulette — the 100,000-year Soul Ring.
He still remembered that when the needle stopped on the 100,000-year Soul Ring, he was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
100,000-year Soul Ring …
Fang Xuan took a deep breath. He stared greedily at the blood-red Soul Ring that was emitting a demonic light.
The first thought that came to his mind was to immediately absorb this 100,000-year Soul Ring.
It just so happened that his Bluesilver Grass martial soul was still lacking a Soul Ring. He had already experienced the terrifying power of the Bluesilver Killing Array. If he absorbed this 100,000-year Soul Ring, his Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, and Bluesilver Killing Array
would evolve to a terrifying degree.
Thinking of this, Fang Xuan couldn't restrain the desire in his heart. He lost his calm and immediately began to absorb the 100,000-year Soul Ring. He wanted to add another Soul Ring to his Bluesilver Grass martial soul.
Even a Soul Bone could make a Titled Douluo go crazy, let alone the number one treasure of the Douluo Continent — a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
A 100,000-year Soul Ring was placed right in front of him. No one could resist the powerful temptation it brought. Fang Xuan was no exception.
His rationality was swallowed by greed. Fang Xuan didn't hesitate and directly began to absorb the 100,000-year Soul Ring for his Bluesilver Grass …
"Pfff"
Half an hour later, Fang Xuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He spat out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. His body was almost torn to shreds. He was sent flying by a terrifying force and crashed into the wall of the living room.
He slid to the ground in a sorry state. More than half of his bones and muscles had been torn apart. His internal organs had also suffered heavy injuries. He had almost died on the spot!
"I failed …"
Fang Xuan's face darkened as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. The 100,000-year Soul Ring's power was beyond his imagination. It was a hundred times stronger than the Soul Sage from before. This violent and powerful energy entered his body and almost tore him to shreds.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for being too greedy. I'm only rank 50 and I'm already delusional enough to want to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring. That's an energy source left behind by a soul beast comparable to a Titled Douluo. My body can't withstand it at all right now …"
Fang Xuan laughed bitterly and shook his head with a sigh. Wasn't he just looking for trouble for himself? He struggled to get up from the ground and sat cross-legged.
A layer of pure white light appeared on his body as he began to use the Immortal Begonia to heal his injuries.
The appearance of the 100,000-year Soul Ring made him lose his rationality. After all, this Soul Ring was just too attractive. Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to maintain their rationality in front of a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
Although the absorption of the 100,000-year Soul Ring had failed, it was still okay.
This type of Soul Ring obtained from the system was slightly different from ordinary Soul Rings. It could be stored for a long time and wouldn't disappear on its own. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to absorb the Soul Ring and could only watch as this 100,000-year Soul Ring disappeared on its own.
If that happened, Fang Xuan would probably faint from heartache.
After this calamity, Fang Xuan did a deep self-reflection and blamed himself. He gradually restrained his greed for the 100,000-year Soul Ring and began to think rationally. Based on his current strength, he deduced the lowest level required to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
…
He remembered that in the original work, Tang San's body was tempered by ice and fire. Like Fang Xuan, he had an indestructible body that was impervious to fire and water. However, when he absorbed the 100,000-year Soul Ring, he had a narrow escape before he managed to absorb the 100,000-year Soul Ring with great difficulty.
One had to know that Tang San was ranked 70 at that time. To put it bluntly, his strength and physique at that time were far superior to the current Fang Xuan.
After all, Fang Xuan was only ranked 55 now. This 100,000-year Soul Ring was comparable to the energy essence left behind by a Titled Douluo. It contained extremely terrifying power and was very violent. If one wasn't careful, it could directly tear a Soul Master's body apart.
In summary, if Fang Xuan wanted to successfully absorb this 100,000-year Soul Ring, he would have to wait until he was at least ranked 70 before Fang Xuan could absorb it.
Therefore, even though a 100,000-year Soul Ring was right in front of him, Fang Xuan had to endure it and wait until he reached the safe level above rank 70 before he could absorb this 100,000-year Soul Ring.
After making up his mind, Fang Xuan gradually felt relieved. He first gave up on this most precious 100,000-year Soul Ring and began to organize the trivial Talent Points and Basic Mastery. He was prepared to absorb.
In the next moment, he calmed his mind and began to absorb these large amounts of attribute points.

He looked forward to the future …
