[Host, please release your spirit to automatically evolve!]
Hearing the system's command, Gu Xian concentrated his spirit power on his right hand.
Immediately, a sickle appeared in his palm.
It was Gu Xian's spirit, an ordinary sickle.
The sickle had a normal metallic luster, the blade was short, and the arc was not long.
In contrast, the handle was very long.
It looked exactly like a sickle for harvesting wheat.
[Ding!]
[Host spirit release detected!]
[The sickle spirit is about to begin evolving!]
Just then, the system's voice echoed in Gu Xian's mind again.
The moment he finished speaking, the [Martial Soul Upgrade Card] instantly transformed into a streak of light and sank into the sickle in Gu Xian's right palm.
He let out a nervous breath.
However, the terrifying pressure he had anticipated did not materialize.
Instead, the next second, Gu Xian saw the sickle in his hand begin to transform at a visible speed.
The blade grew wider and thicker, its arc significantly lengthened.
The tip even curved eerily back into an eagle's beak.
The outer edge was incredibly sharp, gleaming with a terrifying cold light.
The inner edge bore a row of sharp serrations, a terrifying sight.
The handle of the sickle also grew longer and thicker. The sickle's overall color was a bluish-black.
The fully evolved sickle's mere form gave off a powerful sense of oppression.
The scythe handle alone was almost as tall as Gu Xian. At six years old, he was about 1.1 meters tall.
The fully evolved Shadow Scythe had already reached a total length of about 1.34 meters.
"Holy crap!"
"So big?"
"So long?"
Looking at the Shadow Scythe floating quietly in the air, powered by spirit power, Gu Xian swallowed involuntarily.
This thing looked incredibly oppressive.
If it were to strike Tang San, He'd probably be dead.
After taking a deep breath, Gu Xian couldn't help but exclaim, "This is terrifying!"
Overall, he was very satisfied with the results of his spirit's evolution.
[Ding!]
[Soul evolution complete!] Hearing the system's voice, Gu Xian turned his gaze to the system interface again. He then directly clicked on [Host Information]. "Buzz!" The light screen trembled slightly, transforming into the [Host Information] interface:
[Host: Gu Xian.]
[Gender: Male.]
[Age: Six.]
[Martial Soul: Shadow Scythe!]
[Soul Power: Level Eight!]
[Soul Skills: None.]
Hmm?" Gu Xian's eyes flashed with surprise. His soul power had actually risen to level eight? If he remembered correctly, he originally had no innate soul power at all. Completing the novice mission only meant splitting his full innate soul power with Tang San.
In that case, he was only at level five soul power. Looking at the terrifying black-blue giant sickle floating beside him, Gu Xian already had a guess.
It must have reached level eight soul power after evolving his martial soul.
[Ding!]
[After the host's martial soul evolved, the excess energy was absorbed by the body, raising its soul power to level eight.]
As if sensing Gu Xian's thoughts, the system intervened at this crucial moment. Gu Xian nodded. That made sense. Then, he closed [Host Information] and opened [System Store]. "Buzz!" The light screen trembled slightly, and then the system interface changed.
The glittering golden merchandise nearly blinded Gu Xian. "Five thousand year old purple soul ring, priced at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine system essences. (Note: can only be used as a second soul ring!)" A five thousand year old second soul ring?
Are you kidding me?
"Dark Walker's Claw high-level soul guide, priced at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine system essences!"
Wow. This kind of thing has even appeared?
"A hundred thousand year old all-attribute soul bone, priced at ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine system essences!"
A hundred thousand year old soul bone? Gu Xian was completely stunned. How could this system mall dare to sell anything?
And they were asking for a hundred thousand system essences right off the bat.
He turned his gaze to the upper right corner. It clearly stated his current System Essence: 500
These five hundred System Essence were obtained after completing the Novice Quest.
As a bonus.
Gu Xian then realized that there was nothing in the System Mall he could afford.
The cheapest items started at four figures. And according to his observation, the most cost-effective items were those requiring "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine" System Essence.
He would have to save up the few he had. However, he did discover another very useful feature of the System Mall.
That was that System Essence could be exchanged for real currency on the Douluo Continent at a proportional rate.
1 System Essence = 1 Gold Soul Coin.
Such a user-friendly exchange rate was indeed quite good.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Gu Xian had retracted his spirit. Opening the door, he saw, as expected, Village Chief Old Jack.
He had come to tell him about his trip to Notting Academy in three months.
His expression wasn't great, however, evidently due to his recent stay at Tang San's residence.
He had had a disagreement with Tang San's father, Tang Hao. After briefly speaking to Gu Xian, Old Jack left.
Three months had flown by in the blink of an eye. Old Jack had come to remind Gu Xian once more the day before.
The next morning, just as he had finished packing, Village Chief Old Jack knocked on the door to pick him up.
The two of them went to the blacksmith shop together to fetch Tang San.
The sun had just risen, and the damp mist in the air had not yet dissipated.
The three of them set out on the road to Notting City. Although Notting City wasn't far from Holy Spirit Village, it would still take at least half a day.
In the early afternoon, the three of them spotted Notting City from afar. After successfully entering the city, Gu Xian was deeply amazed by the sights within.
This was his first time appreciating the unique architectural style of the Douluo Continent.
The three of them headed non-stop towards the Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy.
Soon, Gu Xian could vaguely spot the words "Notting Academy" on the gate.
If the plot unfolded normally, the famous scene of Tang San being harassed by the security guard seemed imminent.
Then Yu Xiaogang made his pretentious entrance. This deception made Tang San feel as if he had awakened from a dream, as if he had met the benefactor of his life.
Then he knelt down and acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his father. As expected, from a distance, Gu Xian could already sense the guard sizing up the three of them.
"What are you doing? Is this a place you country bumpkins can come to?"
As they approached, the guard's classic scolding rang out.
[Ding!]
[One month has expired. The new system begins random draws!]
[1%, 50%, 100%!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the new blind box sacrifice system!]
[This system lasts for one month. Upon expiration, a new round of draws will automatically begin!]
[New system effect: Sacrificing items will randomly grant you a blind box!]
[Blind box levels from low to high: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Epic, Legendary!]
