Though Parallel World 5's unification didn't grant an extra ten-draw bonus, the world's progress from 0% to 100% unification earned ten draw opportunities.
With four leftover from before, Lux now had 14 draws, enough for another ten-draw.
No rush.
Let's try a single draw to test luck, clear bad vibes.
Lux promptly clicked a single draw, but the result darkened his mood.
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
Huh?
What's this? Luck this bad?
No, try again!
[Draws -1]
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
Damn!
Toxic?
Is this the expanded reward pool? Did they expand it with just 'thank you for participating'? Or secretly tweak the odds for good rewards?
Too shady, right?
(System, damn you ￥%&%&... Keep this up, and I won't play with you anymore!)
Lux suppressed his anger, steeling himself, and went straight for a ten-draw, ready to see how dark this dog system was.
Ten-draw—begin!
A series of crisp notification sounds and dazzling reward chest lights bloomed in Lux's mind.
[Congratulations, you obtained (100% Character Disguise Card) x1!]
[Congratulations, you obtained item (Space-Time Wind Bell) x2!]
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
[Congratulations, you obtained rare scroll "Wind Control Technique" x1!]
[Congratulations, you obtained common ninjutsu scroll "Transformation Technique" x1!]
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
[Congratulations, you obtained rare scroll "Motion-Stopping Technique" x1!]
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
[Congratulations, you obtained (100% Character Mastery Card) x1!]
[Congratulations, you obtained rare scroll "Distance-Shortening Technique" x1!]
Ten-draw complete.
(Damn it!)
Lux was stunned. As annoying as those 'thank you for participating' were, he was now equally shocked by the flood of great rewards!
Clearly, the win rate was lower.
Twelve draws, five 'thank you for participating'.
But in return, the quality and level of all rewards had surged dramatically!
Most rewards were no longer confined to the ninja world, transcending it toward true Shinjutsu.
Before, getting the Dimensional Pouch and Golden Qiankun, Lux knew the system's reward pool wasn't limited to Naruto world items.
But previously, the odds of getting good Shinjutsu-related items were too low.
Unexpectedly, with the expanded reward pool, the chances of good rewards skyrocketed several times! So many great items at once.
Compared to this, those 'thank you for participating' weren't so irritating anymore.
Riding the high, Lux couldn't resist using his two remaining draws.
[Draws -1]
[Draws -1]
[Congratulations, you obtained rare method scroll (Ever-Blooming Withered Tree Technique) x1!]
[Thank you for participating, please try again!]
Draws finished.
Lux gleefully began sorting his haul.
Total 14 draws: 6 empty, 8 rewards.
He got: one common ninjutsu scroll Transformation Technique (for collection), one Disguise Card, one Mastery Card, two Space-Time Wind Bells.
These 'old' items needed no discussion; the key was the four new items:
Rare scroll Wind Control Technique, rare scroll Motion-Stopping Technique, rare scroll Distance-Shortening Technique, rare scroll Ever-Blooming Withered Tree Technique.
These were true dōjutsu and magical spells, far more orthodox than Shichiseiken, Kokinjo, Bashosen… from the ninja world.
Not on the same level at all.
Lux restrained his excitement, opening the scrolls one by one, quickly mastering the four techniques.
After a long time…
Lux slowly opened his eyes, saying with thrilled satisfaction:
"Good, good, these are true techniques!"
"As a Sennin, I'm finally starting to look like a real Sennin."
The four techniques weren't overly complex; before true Shinjutsu divine power, they were mere basics.
But compared to the ninja world, even forbidden jutsu were only fit to polish these 'basics' shoes.
Wind Control Technique: Harmonizing spiritual energy, ride the wind, travel thousands of li daily.
Motion-Stopping Technique: Heaven and Earth are mysterious, all energy is the root; an energy-binding technique, halting anything.
Distance-Shortening Technique: From Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, harmonizing Heaven and Earth energy, turning thousands of li into a mere inch.
Ever-Blooming Withered Tree Technique: Drawing natural laws, turning decay into wonder, wood symbolizing growth, abundant spring energy, endless life.
In simple terms:
Wind Control Technique was insanely fast, circling the ninja world in a day, far quicker than a month-long trip to Mount Myōboku; it could turn into wind, harmonize energy, appear where wind flows, dodging most physical damage.
Motion-Stopping Technique was powerful, halting anything, duration depending on the user's chakra and target's resistance.
Distance-Shortening Technique was incredible, perfect for escape and travel, hiding all traces with unmatched speed, beyond White Zetsu's league.
Lastly, Ever-Blooming Withered Tree Technique was true Shinjutsu, cultivating chakra with many wood element traits. It extended life, revived the wilted, nearly raising the dead—a promax Wood Release.
Instantly, Lux grinned happily.
Each was a rare, extraordinary Shinjutsu!
The system was generous, letting him instantly comprehend and master them. Otherwise, self-learning might take years.
Next, Lux roughly tested the techniques.
He found chakra could activate them, but effects were slightly reduced, maybe only fifty to sixty percent.
Chakra was an energy source, but not on par with Divine Energy or Shinjutsu.
Perhaps only Senjutsu chakra, fused with natural power, could somewhat match Divine Energy.
Even at fifty to sixty percent, the effects were terrifying.
Far surpassing any ninjutsu or kinjutsu!
For example, Distance-Shortening Technique was tens to hundreds of times faster than Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage, not even comparable.
Lux also tested Ever-Blooming Withered Tree Technique, finding he could convert chakra into Divine Energy to activate other techniques.
Power and effects fully restored.
But the conversion seemed slow; Lux estimated over half a month for full conversion.
Perhaps because his chakra was vast—a God Tree fruit, containing a planet's energy, was immense.
Ninja and Ōtsutsuki energy use was crude, far less refined than Shinjutsu, but the sheer volume was undeniable.
As for the eagerly anticipated Motion-Stopping Technique, Lux tested it.
It was indeed powerful, halting not just living beings but anything with or containing energy.
Wind, water, trees, even fire could be stopped…
With enough power, it could halt a target's soul and mind, freezing thoughts!
Sadly, Lux's chakra wasn't that strong yet.
For ninja targets?
White Zetsu was easily stopped, for days and nights, showing no signs of breaking free.
Stronger targets? Untested…
Should he try Kaguya?
With her full God Tree fruit chakra, he could stop her for a long time, right?
Her fault for not fully recovering…
Though excited, Lux didn't rush to test on Kaguya. If he succeeded, it might ruin their fragile trust.
Better wait for an unknown Six Paths-level target to test.
After enthusiastic testing, Lux finally curbed his excitement.
He shifted focus to the 'precious self-selected mission reward package'.
Given the random draw chest's excellence, this more valuable self-selected package shouldn't disappoint, right?
Open!
[Ding: Self-selected mission reward package opened, please choose]
The next second, three golden legendary reward options, as before, appeared in the selection slots.
Namely:
- God Tree Fruit x1 (Ōtsutsuki genes removed)!
- Eternal Binding Rope x1!
- Divine Technique: Outer Body Incarnation x1!
"Ssst—!"
Lux was thrilled; this self-selected package didn't disappoint—all top-tier items!
God Tree Fruit needed no explanation; a divine item instantly granting godhood, its energy surpassing Juubi and Sage of the Six Paths combined.
Only peak Kaguya could match it.
The other two rewards even surpassed the God Tree Fruit!
Eternal Binding Rope: Woven from spiritual threads, binding Sennin, locking yōkai, moving by will, nothing unbindable, all techniques inescapable.
Outer Body Incarnation: Creates a clone from the body, roaming the cosmos, splitting into thousands of forms, achieving all, capable of all.
Undoubtedly.
Both were top-tier treasures, on par with Golden Qiankun.
