62: Chapter 62 Seven Consecutive Draws, Spirit-Stripping Hand

Evening.

Li Yu returned to his room, locked the door, and then summoned the system.

The incident earlier today when drawing the High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand caused quite a misunderstanding, but fortunately, the doctor saw that he was a Senior Cultivator and didn't blame him.

"Continue the draw. Use up all the remaining cultivation value."

Li Yu lay on the bed, his hands behind his head, and said softly.

The Silver Scale Bubble Fish swam across the ceiling, moisturizing the slightly cracked ceiling caused by dryness with water vapor.

It didn't have only 7 seconds of memory like before, but it hadn't grown much longer either, and it didn't seem to have much affection for Li Yu either.

After all, it was forgetful.

Li Yu glanced at it, still thinking about the spirit crystals of the remaining elements, but his attention was soon drawn by the sound of the roulette wheel.

Clatter...

The roulette wheel spun, and even though this wasn't Li Yu's first time performing cultivation, his heart couldn't help but race.

Ding!

【Congratulations to the host for drawing 1 low-grade water-type evolution card.】

Li Yu flipped his hand, and a cerulean card appeared in his palm, carrying a hint of water vapor.

Not bad, getting an evolution card right off the bat.

Although there are fewer Beast Tamers who contract water-type beasts because their combat destructive power is insufficient, it's still better than poison-type.

Continue the draw.

...

Ding!

【Congratulations to the host for drawing 1 low-grade universal evolution card.】

Nice!

Li Yu had an extra evolution card in his hand, took a look at it, tossed it aside on the pillow, and silently thought to continue the draw.

...

Ding!

【Congratulations to the host for drawing 1 mid-grade universal evolution card.】

Mid-grade!

Li Yu sat up straight and flipped his hand to take out the newly drawn card.

【Universal evolution card: Mid-grade. Can be used on beasts with a quality no higher than Monarch, unlocking a high-quality evolution route, with a random direction.】

That's right, it's mid-grade.

Can be used to perform cultivation on Lord and Monarch quality beasts.

Li Yu had obtained one before, but limited by his status as an Intern, no powerful Breeders came to him for cultivation.

But it's different now. Having become a Senior Cultivator, he shouldn't lack high-quality cultivation work in the future.

Now he has two on hand, just in time to find an opportunity to use one.

Thinking of this, a strange look appeared on Li Yu's face.

A Breeder's foundation is not just their cultivation ability, but also the connections they accumulate during cultivation.

Although he had become a Senior Cultivator, he was new here and lacked a foundation. While Director Wang's daughter certainly had a good background, she wasn't someone he could order around.

Find an opportunity to use one and build up some solid connections for himself.

Continue the draw.

The subsequent draws were a bit worse; it was either "Thank you for participating" or "Thank you for participating" again.

Until the last draw.

Ding!

【Congratulations to the host for drawing the ability "Novice Spirit Stripping Hand".】

Hum——

In an instant, a lot of information exploded in Li Yu's mind, just like with the High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand, but compared to the High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand, this knowledge was less than a tenth of that amount.

Li Yu quickly adapted.

After a brief moment of dizziness, he looked at his hand, from which a gray, eerie energy emerged.

The Silver Scale Bubble Fish on the ceiling seemed to sense something, flicked its tail, and hid in the corner, seemingly very afraid of this gray energy.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at his hand.

【Novice Spirit Stripping Hand: Consumes Mental Energy to ignore material obstacles and strip a specified substance from the target's body.】

"An unheard-of, somewhat strange ability, but..." Li Yu's eyes flickered, "If used well, this ability is not inferior to the High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand."

The draw is over.

Li Yu obtained a total of 1 mid-grade universal evolution card, 1 low-grade universal evolution card, 1 low-grade water-type evolution card, and the strange Novice Spirit Stripping Hand.

The harvest was not bad.

At this time, the moon was on the branches, and it was silent, with only the gurgling sound of the Silver Scale Bubble Fish echoing.

Suddenly, a faint "rustling" sound rang out. It wasn't loud, but it was very piercing.

Outside the door, not far away.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then stood up, called for the Silver Scale Bubble Fish to follow, and slowly opened the door.

There were only him and his sister at home, along with two beasts.

The Northward Sable was quiet and didn't like to sharpen its claws. The Bubble Fish was by his side, making no sound. Needless to say, his sister was busy reviewing.

This sound was not inferior to any member of the household.

He opened the door and walked out first, with the Silver Scale Bubble Fish following with big, curious fish eyes.

When Li Yu went out, he happened to see his sister walking out of the room, holding a long iron ruler in her hand, with the Northward Sable on her shoulder.

The siblings thought the same thing. They looked at each other and saw confusion and caution in each other's eyes.

"Brother..." Li Meng's voice was filled with unease.

This sound was eerie, like sharp claws scratching against a door panel; it was definitely not a sound made by a person.

Moreover, given their situation at home, they had long lost contact with past relatives and friends, so there was no reason for anyone to come looking for them.

Li Yu said: "I'll go check. You get the Northward Sable ready. When I say attack, no matter who it is outside the door, hit them hard!"

His voice was low, and his eyes were flickering.

He thought much the same as his sister. Besides, his sister had always been kind to others and didn't get into disputes, so no one would target her.

But he was different.

He had made a few enemies at Bright Moon Company, and today he had caused those researchers at the Research Institute who were targeting him to lose their jobs.

It's possible these people might send someone to deal with him.

While thinking, Li Yu had already arrived at the door, grabbed the doorknob. Behind him, the Silver Scale Bubble Fish spat out a few Bubbles, and the Northward Sable's fur stood on end, its sharp claws extended on his shoulder, ready to strike at any time.

The living room was so quiet that one could hear heartbeats.

Thump, thump, thump...

Li Yu took a deep breath and flung the door open. The Northward Sable was too nervous and reflexively clawed at the outside of the door. A faint claw gleam swept through the space, landing on the ground and leaving a shallow white mark.

But there was nothing outside the door.

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence. Li Yu looked at the Northward Sable, and the Northward Sable looked at him, both asking—what's going on?

At this moment, Li Yu's nostrils flared. A faint smell of blood entered his lungs through his nose, making his heart tremble.

Immediately after, something touched his foot, scaring him into retreating.

Only then did he see clearly that a mass of bloody flesh was lying at his feet by the doorway, and what touched him was a black claw.

As Li Yu's foot moved away, the claw fell weakly to the ground.

"My god!"

Li Yu exclaimed, hurriedly rushed over, and picked up the limp body of the Spirit Probing Armor.

At this moment, the Spirit Probing Armor no longer had its previous glittering, fantastical appearance. Its amber scales were completely shattered and soaked in blood. There were a dozen deep holes on its back, as if made by nails, oozing blood. Its tail was half broken, and one eye was ruined.

The only remaining eye was dim, and when it looked at Li Yu, it was filled with intense guilt.

【The Spirit Probing Armor regrets not saying goodbye to its former master, but fortunately, it finally saw the host before dying, and it has no regrets in its heart. cultivation value + 50.】

Damn!

Shut up!

Li Yu cursed in his heart, then shouted into the room: "Xiao Meng! Go to my room and get my work badge and phone, fast!"

What was even more horrifying was that there was a deep depression on its back, left by something that had smashed its spine.

With such serious injuries, almost paralyzed and certain to die, Li Yu couldn't imagine how the Spirit Probing Armor had found him and managed to move here.

"Okay!"

Li Meng didn't know what had happened, but from her brother's tone, she realized the situation was urgent.

Immediately, the siblings took a taxi and headed straight for Bright Moon Company. On the way, he called Supervisor Song and asked him to remotely open a cultivation room.

Seeming to hear Li Yu's urgency, Supervisor Song didn't ask any questions, only saying one word: "Okay."
