Chapter 171 - Drawing the reward from the lucky wheel
The trio walked through the portal, and there was a sort of unusual feeling on the other side. There were also pink halos projecting from all directions.
Over their heads was the boundless space, and beneath their feet was a world of colors. It was an enormous, fast-spinning wheel. As the wheel rotated way too quickly, they couldn’t clearly see what was beneath their feet.
“You guys may now run around the wheel once and choose your own spot. When the wheel stops spinning, your reward will appear. Once you stop, you may not move again,” Ling Yiyi’s voice resounded.
The lucky wheel actually worked this way, huh?
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Then can all three of us stand on the same spot?”
“No, only one person is allowed at a spot,” Ling Yiyi answered.
“What kinds of rewards are there in this lucky wheel, then?” Lan Xuanyu asked. “Are they related to the colors?”
“I don’t know. After you guys enter, do not stop walking. If you stop, it means that you have chosen your spot. It’s called a lucky wheel, so obviously it depends on your luck. Go on, then.” As Ling Yiyi waved, a halo swirled all three of them up and dropped them on the colorful wheel.
“Don’t stop,” Lan Xuanyu said hurriedly.
Although it seemed like it didn’t matter where they stopped, it was better to observe first before choosing.
Liu Feng and Qian Lei naturally listened to him. The three of them started moving the second they landed on the lucky wheel and strode forward.
The wheel beneath their feet was strange and colorful, and they couldn’t see what exactly was spinning. Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and released his Spirit Sea realm Spiritual Power slightly, sensing the changes around him.
The Spiritual Power of a higher realm allowed his perception to be stronger. At this time, he focused and his perception of his surroundings became stronger.
Lan Xuanyu still couldn’t clearly see what was below, but he could roughly sense that there were different auras.
Some auras were enticingly sweet and fresh, and some were fierce and ominous. There were also some that gave one a sort of indescribable sense of resistance; some didn’t have any auras at all.
How exactly should we go about choosing?
The auras kept rotating nonstop, which meant that even if he could tell what the aura corresponded to, he couldn’t really choose the exact one. They really didn’t give them any leeway, huh!
With this thought, Lan Xuanyu sighed helplessly and said, “Qian Lei, choose a spot first.”
“Alright!” Qian Lei’s excitement came from picking the prize. Since they couldn’t tell what the prize was, then it didn’t matter anymore; he directly stopped where he was at.
A light flashed and a purple halo appeared beneath his feet. After that, a pleasant female voice resounded, “Increased cultivation of all Soul Rings by 500 years.”
Qian Lei was shocked, and Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng were stunned too.
An increase by 500 years? This reward was pretty good!
Lan Xuanyu had been paying attention to Qian Lei when he stopped in his tracks. He realized that what appeared beneath Qian Lei’s feet first was that fresh aura he sensed just now, and this aura was still four steps away right before Qian Lei stopped.
The fresh aura increased the number of years of a Soul Ring. This promotion was pretty good for Qian Lei! Not only would it benefit his Soul Power, but it would also strengthen his Soul Skill. His summoning speed would be faster, and he could possibly summon stronger soul beasts. In addition, those soul beasts he summoned might be able to stay for a longer duration. This was definitely a good thing for the upcoming qualifier.
But most importantly, it was still Lan Xuanyu’s judgment of the lucky wheel.
“Liu Feng, stop,” Lan Xuanyu said to Liu Feng.
“Alright,” Liu Feng agreed and stopped in his tracks.
The second he stopped, Lan Xuanyu focused strongly and felt the changes in the wheel.
The wheel suddenly went faster, and the aura that was seven steps away from Liu Feng traveled to his feet—it was an ominous aura.
“Made by the Spirit Pagoda, a piece of 2,000-year right arm Soul Bone, along with one Soul Skill.”
Soul Bone?
Hearing these two words, their eyes widened.
There couldn’t be any prize that was better than this. What’s a Soul Bone? For a Soul Master, it was even more important than Soul Rings but extremely hard to get.
In ancient times, Soul Bones would only emerge in soul beasts. When a soul beast was killed under certain special circumstances, there would be a very small chance that a Soul Bone would appear.
There are six main types of Soul Bones; namely, the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg and right leg.
These are the six main types of Soul Bones. What’s the use of a Soul Bone? The Soul Bone would empower whichever area it was contained in, and it also came with a Soul Skill.
Usually, a Soul Master could have one Soul Skill for every increase in ten levels; God Skill was for those with nine rings and above. In other words, the number of Soul Skills were limited; one Soul Ring to one Soul Skill.
Soul Bones were different. They were extras and didn’t have to go through cultivation to be obtained. One more Soul Bone not only meant that the particular body part would be enhanced, but it also meant that one would have another skill. This was very important to a Soul Master.
In ancient times, Soul Bones were extremely rare. Also, Soul Rings would disappear when a Soul Master died, but Soul Bones could be passed on, making them even more precious.
It was only in the recent few thousand years that the Spirit Pagoda, one of the most important organizations in the Federation, began to develop man-made Soul Bones, allowing the Soul Bones to become more popular. However, man-made Soul Bones cost a lot of money in the development process, so an astronomical amount of money was needed to buy man-made Soul Bones. Generally speaking, the average Soul Master wouldn’t be able to afford it. The Federation often gave out man-made Soul Bones as a reward for Soul Masters who had made significant contributions.
This lucky wheel actually contained a Soul Bone among the prizes—this was simply unexpected! Although the ability attached to this right arm Soul Bone was unknown, along with the soul beast it corresponded to, it was definitely a good thing. Even if they sold it, they would get a lot of money.
Liu Feng was so excited that he wanted to jump, but he couldn’t continue moving after he stopped in his tracks.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and calmed himself down before continuing to feel the auras beneath his feet.
Qian Lei’s reward was four steps away while Liu Feng’s reward was seven steps away when they stopped. Then what aura would land under his feet when he stopped?
With this thought, he continued walking for a bit, and while sensing the aura beneath his feet, he stopped.
The moment he stopped, Lan Xuanyu felt like his body was absorbed into the ground. Right after that, an aura went to him directly and flew over very quickly. This was an aura that was at least ten steps away. There was no pattern to this at all.
The pleasant-sounding voice resounded once again, “Access to the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform once.”
After the end of the sentence was spoken, all three of them returned next to Ling Yiyi in a flash of light.
Lan Xuanyu only knew that the spot he stopped at just now was the type that didn’t have an aura. Spirit Ascension Platform? What was that?
Ling Yiyi brought them back and smiled. “Your reward will be delivered to your school later. Lan Xuanyu, you and Qian Lei will need to go to the Spirit Pagoda to collect your reward. However, I suggest collecting your reward after the qualifier because the Spirit Ascension Platform may take a long time. If you end it hastily, you will not get the most out of it.”
After speaking, Ling Yiyi disappeared.
