In the Archanic Territory.

A bonfire burned quietly on a barren mountain, dispelling the chill of the night.

A slender figure sat quietly in front of the bonfire. The weak light from the fire illuminated his handsome and determined face. Fang Xuan's eyes were deep as he quietly digested the gains he had made during this period.

After the bloody battle in the Pontiff's Palace, he had unknowingly reached Rank 73, and all his attributes had soared.

After calming himself down, Fang Xuan checked his personal information.

[Available Sword Draws: 31.25 million]

During this period of intense battles, Fang Xuan killed many powerful people, including a Soul Douluo and more than ten Soul Sages. He had accumulated more than 30 million Soul Power and experience points. His level had also unknowingly broken through from Rank 71 to Rank 73, which was two levels in a row.

Leveling up was a good thing, but when Fang Xuan saw the amount of Soul Power and experience points needed to become a Soul Sage, he couldn't help but fall silent. The experience points needed to level up as a Soul Sage were in the tens of millions. It was an extremely large amount, and every level up required him to kill many powerful people.

"Sigh, it's a mixed blessing." Fang Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that the path to the top was getting harder and harder.

"Eh, this is …" Suddenly, he was stunned. When he returned to the main interface, he was surprised to find that the system interface had changed.

The original lottery interface and strengthening interface had all disappeared.

Instead, there was a new high-end store and a new function called "Sublimation Pool".

Personal information.

2. Shop (advanced).

3: Sublimation Pool (new).

4: Inventory.

Fang Xuan was startled. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he opened the new store and looked at it expectantly.

After he had become a Soul Sage, the system had been upgraded. The original beginner's shop had been upgraded to a high-grade shop. The items that were sold were divided into three categories: tools, medicine, and innate gifts.

[Advanced Shop]

Item category:

1. Ten thousand-year soul ring: one million draws.

2. Thirty-thousand-year soul ring: 3,000,000 draws.

3. 50,000-year Soul Ring: 5,000,000 Sword Draws.

4. Ninety-thousand-year soul ring: 10 million draws.

5. Five hundred thousand year soul rings: one hundred million blade draws.

6. Ten-thousand-year soul bone: one hundred million blade draws.

7. Thirty-thousand-year soul bone: one hundred million blade draws.

8. 50,000-year soul bone: one hundred million blade draws.

9. Ninety-thousand-year soul bone: one hundred million blade draws.

10. One-hundred-thousand-year soul bone: one hundred million blade draws.

[Note: The Soul Rings and Soul Bones sold in this shop can be selected according to the type, position, and attribute the host needs. However, the 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones only have one skill.]

Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and even 100,000-year ones. Furthermore, the host could choose their attribute …

Seeing this, Fang Xuan was dumbfounded. After all, it was a high-grade shop. The service was different. In the past, the Soul Rings he had obtained from the lottery didn't have any skills. They could only increase his Soul Power and Martial Soul's proficiency.

Now, the high-grade shop not only added the new Soul Bones, but even the Soul Rings had skills. Most importantly, the host could choose the attributes of the Soul Rings and Soul Bones according to their needs.

This was simply too perverse. Seeing this, Fang Xuan was incomparably excited.

After the system upgrade, the service functions had been optimized. There was no need to rely on luck to win 100,000-year Soul Rings anymore. Even 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones were sold in the shop. This was undoubtedly very convenient.

However, after noticing the price of the 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Fang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

The 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones were all priced at 100 million blade draws.

That was a whole 100 million. He had killed so many strong people in the Martial Spirit Hall, but the number of blade draws he had accumulated was only about 30 million. How many years would it take to buy a 100,000-year Soul Ring?

Of course, there was a shortcut.

That was — killing a Titled Douluo. Fang Xuan's eyes were sharp. According to his calculations, the number of blade draws rewarded for killing a Titled Douluo was just enough to buy a 100,000-year Soul Ring. This was forcing him to fight a Titled Douluo with his life on the line.

At present, he only had eyes for 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones. Although the rest of the Soul Rings and Soul Bones were relatively cheap and affordable, his horizons had been greatly improved. Naturally, he wouldn't be interested in these Soul Rings that were worth tens of thousands.

Hunting strong people. This was the special feature of Fang Xuan's Blade Drawing System. As long as he hunted more strong people, he would become stronger and the rewards he would obtain would be more generous. This rule had never changed from the beginning to the end.

Next, he continued to look at the second item in the shop.

Medicine:

1. Berserker Liquid: After consumption, the host will enter Berserker Mode and become excited and crazy for 100 seconds. Under Berserker Mode, the host's combat power will increase tenfold. However, it will cause great damage to the host's body. In serious cases, it will directly cause the host's death. Please use it with caution. (Can be consumed continuously)

Price: 5 million 

2. Spirit Gathering Liquid: After consumption, it can quickly replenish the Blade Aura and Soul Power consumed by the host. The cooldown time is one day. (Cannot be consumed continuously)

Price: 5 million Sword Draws.

The Berserker Liquid increased combat power and the Spirit Gathering Liquid recovered Blade Aura and Soul Power. Good stuff. Looking at these two new items, Fang Xuan's eyes lit up and revealed a hint of joy.

Although the price was a little expensive, 5 million per bottle was still acceptable.

Finally, he went to look at the third item in the shop.

Talent:

1. Talent Points: 1 million Sword Draws (1,000).

[Note: Can be purchased without limit]

Fang Xuan was even more excited. These Talent Points that could be purchased directly would undoubtedly greatly increase the speed of his Martial Soul's upgrade. If he directly spent a large amount of money to purchase it, he felt that his six Martial Souls could ascend to the Perfect Stage overnight.

After exiting the high-class shop, he entered a new function — the Sublimation Pool. The Sublimation Pool, as the name implied, could sublimate items. The items that could be upgraded were Soul Rings, Soul Bones, Weapons, and so on. These items could all be upgraded in this Sublimation Pool.

However, they were all very expensive.

Fang Xuan understood that this Sublimation Pool was a combination of the lottery system and the strengthening furnace, turning into a brand new function that was convenient to use. However, the price was even higher. Every time an item was sublimated, it would cost more than 1 million.

After a careful inspection, he finally understood the new function of the system.

After that, Fang Xuan spent a total of 20 million times Blade Drawing to buy a portion of Berserker Liquid and a portion of Spirit Gathering Liquid, as well as 10,000 Talent Points. He was prepared to upgrade all his Martial Souls to the highest level tonight.

The night was cold and the silver moon hung high in the sky.

Fang Xuan sat at the top of the cliff, quietly meditating and upgrading his Martial Souls.

As time passed, a voice that symbolized joy slowly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations. Ice Phoenix has been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. Unlocked: Absolute Freeze]

[Congratulations. Clear Sky Hammer has been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. Unlocked: Gravity Domain]

[Congratulations. Immortal Begonia has been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. Unlocked: Life Spring]

[Congratulations. Seraph has been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. Unlocked: Radiant Flame]

[Congratulations. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon has been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. Unlocked: Electromagnetic Domain]

All five of his Martial Souls had been upgraded to the Perfect Stage. In addition, the Bluesilver Emperor had been upgraded to the Perfect Stage after absorbing a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring.

At this moment, Fang Xuan's six Martial Souls had all been upgraded. He had obtained the ultimate ability of each Martial Soul, and his strength had skyrocketed.
