Hiding behind a small mound, Ke Bei just couldn't calm down. Finally, it was time to start the lottery draw.
"Start the lottery draw," Ke Bei said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.
The system's disc appeared in front of him again.
It really wasn't easy to get this chance to draw a lottery. Ke Bei almost lost his life several times, so he looked at it very carefully.
There were eighteen squares on the disc. Twelve of them were still gray, just like in the first lottery draw. Only six squares were glowing with a golden light.
"Four Symbols Palm, Volume One of the Nine Yang Divine Art, Arhat Fist, Iron Head Skill, Volume One of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method."
Ke Bei frowned tightly, and his gaze swept over the six squares one by one. After clearly seeing all the martial arts skills, the heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down.
What he urgently needed now were martial arts skills that could enhance his strength. If the system only presented some martial techniques, he would really be at a loss and feel like crying.
"Volume One of the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique are both top-notch cultivation methods. Although the Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method is a bit inferior, if I can draw it, my strength should also be enhanced a lot."
"Choosing three out of six, with a 50% chance. It's not too bad."
Ke Bei carefully looked at the six martial arts skills on the disc. Three of them could directly enhance his strength, and the other three were martial arts moves. Among them, the Four Symbols Fist was a relatively advanced martial technique, while the Iron Head Skill and the Arhat Fist were more basic.
He silently compared the martial arts skills on the disc in his heart, let out a soft breath, and decided to start the lottery draw.
As Ke Bei's mind moved, a silver light spot appeared on the disc.
"I hope I can draw the Nine Yang Divine Art," Ke Bei stared intently at the silver light spot that started moving on the disc, clenched his fists tightly, and silently prayed in his heart.
But unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. The silver light spot directly passed over the Nine Yang Divine Art and continued moving forward.
"The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique would be okay too..."
Seeing the silver light spot pass over the Nine Yang Divine Art, Ke Bei's heart tightened suddenly, and his heart was so nervous that it seemed about to jump out.
But this time, it seemed that the Goddess of Luck didn't stay by his side. The silver light spot gently floated past the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.
"Damn it!" Ke Bei angrily punched the ground.
At this moment, the speed of the silver light spot became very slow, as if it could stop at any moment. The next square glowing with golden light was the Iron Head Skill.
"Go, keep going, don't stop, please don't stop," Ke Bei clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. One second felt longer than a century to Ke Bei.
The silver light spot didn't seem to feel Ke Bei's nervousness and still slowly slid forward.
Finally, the silver light spot passed over the square where the Iron Head Skill was located and stopped on the Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method.
"Huff~" Ke Bei let out a long sigh. He felt very uncomfortable and had an indescribable sense of loss. Although the Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method wasn't the worst one, looking at the glowing Nine Yang Divine Art and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, Ke Bei still had an urge to vomit blood.
He clearly had the hope of getting the best, but in the end, he could only helplessly miss it. This feeling of being pent-up was really frustrating.
"Alas..." Ke Bei sighed silently. His expression was listless, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he seemed a bit dejected.
"Forget it then."
Just as Ke Bei was about to accept his fate and claim the reward of the Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method, the clear voice of the system sounded again.
"Do you want to start the second lottery draw?"
"If the host chooses to start, the reward drawn just now will be automatically cancelled."
Hearing the system's prompt, Ke Bei slapped his forehead and suddenly had an epiphany. When he saved Luo Ling, he completed the side quest given by the system and obtained a second chance to draw a lottery.
Although he heard that there was a second chance to draw a lottery, Ke Bei couldn't be happy at this moment. Instead, he was even more torn. If he continued to draw the lottery, the result might be even worse than this time. What if he drew a martial technique? Wouldn't he be even more miserable?
After all, although those martial techniques were very exquisite, his own strength was too weak. Even if he drew them, he couldn't unleash their power.
If he gave up? He was really unwilling.
His eyes stared fixedly at the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, and the muscles at the corners of Ke Bei's eyes twitched a few times.
"Continue? Or give up?"
After being stunned for a while, Ke Bei finally made a decision in his heart. He grinned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn it, I'll take the risk."
Ke Bei's eyes turned red, and he gasped for breath as he shouted loudly, "Continue the lottery draw."
With Ke Bei's loud shout, the silver light spot started flashing rapidly again.
The Iron Head Skill, passed.
The Nine Yang Divine Art, passed.
The Arhat Fist, passed.
The Basic Shaolin Internal Cultivation Method was also passed.
There were only the last two left, Volume One of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and the Four Symbols Fist.
The silver light spot slowed down again and slowly swayed within the square of the Four Symbols Fist.
"Go, go, keep going," Ke Bei stared fixedly at the silver light spot that was moving slowly like a drunken old man. His eyes were red, and he shouted hoarsely. His tightly clenched palm had some sharp fingernails digging into the flesh because he was gripping too hard, but at this moment, Ke Bei didn't feel any pain. All his attention was on the light spot on the disc.
Seeing that the silver light spot was about to stop, Ke Bei suddenly closed his eyes. He didn't dare to look anymore.
"The lottery draw is over. Do you want to learn immediately?"
The silver light spot finally stopped, and the clear prompt sound of the system sounded accordingly.
Holding his breath, Ke Bei slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the silver light spot that stopped on Volume One of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha, God, I thank your ancestors for eighteen generations. This is so awesome."
"Learn," Ke Bei laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face. He really couldn't control himself.
"Whir~" A golden pillar of light suddenly shot out and enveloped Ke Bei completely.
The moment he was enveloped by the golden dragon, there were cracking sounds coming from Ke Bei's body. Every muscle in his body seemed to wriggle like an earthworm. It was as if he was soaking in boiling hot water, and every part of his body was warm.
"Gulu~" A large amount of blood mist suddenly spurted out from Ke Bei's pores. The impurities in his body were completely washed away by this gentle golden light like a refreshing breeze. His mind was completely clear, and the golden light continuously tempered Ke Bei's body. He sweated black, foul-smelling sweat all over his body, and his bones made a series of fine sounds. His whole body was rapidly transforming.
"The host's constitution is too poor to withstand the tempering of Volume One of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique."
Just as Ke Bei was comfortably feeling his strength increasing, the clear prompt sound of the system sounded again.
"Too poor a constitution? Unable to accept the tempering?"
Ke Bei was completely stunned. Each word was like a huge sledgehammer hitting his heart.
Unable to withstand it? Are you kidding me? I've worked so hard and almost lost my life several times. I finally completed the mission with great difficulty, and you tell me I can't withstand it?
What kind of logic is this? This is really not scientific!
Ke Bei really couldn't accept such a result. Just now, when he was enveloped by the golden dragon, within just a few breaths, he felt his strength rapidly increasing. Now, he was at least no worse than a first-level genetic enhancer. If this time could be a little longer, Ke Bei might completely have the strength of a second-level genetic enhancer, or even a third-level genetic enhancer.
"Give me an explanation," Ke Bei said coldly with a sullen face, regardless of whether the system could understand him or not.
