[Ding!]
[Random traits are divided into five tiers: White, Green, Purple, Gold, and Red.]
[Each trait refreshes every seven days. During the refresh, the host may choose one of three new traits of the same level or retain the current trait.]
[There is a chance to trigger a critical upgrade during the refresh:
White → Green: 10%
Green → Purple: 1%
Purple → Gold: 0.01%
Gold → Red: 0.00001%]
Oh? So that's how it works.
A 10% chance. That means, theoretically, I could upgrade a White trait to Green in two months, and in two years, possibly reach Purple.
Then again, probability is a mysterious thing—you never really know.
Fully awake now, Lin Feng's gaze grew serious as he stared at the information panel.
Wait a minute.
If there are only five trait levels, then what's with this Gray trait?
[Ding!]
[The appearance of a Gray trait indicates the host is affected by negative fortune, though it will not be fatal.]
[If a Black trait appears, it signals imminent death or a tragic fate.]
[The chance for a Gray trait to upgrade to White during a refresh is 10%.]
An early death? A tragic fate?
Terrifying!
Thankfully, no Black traits yet.
Lin Feng let out a deep breath, relieved. With just one Gray trait, it shouldn't take more than a couple of months to eliminate it.
Time to try refreshing.
But which one to refresh first?
A trait like "Century Douluo" was only Purple. That must mean Purple traits are already extremely valuable.
Alright then—refresh the Purple one first.
Eyes filled with anticipation, Lin Feng stared at the panel.
What kind of outcome would he get?
[Ding! The trait [Century Douluo] has been refreshed. Please choose one of the following three traits or retain the original.]
[Peach Blossom Luck (Purple): Even if you do nothing, many beautiful women will fall for you.]
[Potential for a Sealed Douluo (Purple): You possess innate full soul power. As long as you don't perish midway, you can advance to Sealed Douluo.]
[Supreme Luck (Purple): You'll be extremely fortunate in everything you do. Small misfortunes will be avoided; major disasters will bring blessings in disguise.]
What!?
It's Supreme Luck! That's an instant pick!
Ecstatic, Lin Feng made his choice without hesitation.
Forget Peach Blossom Luck or some promise of reaching Sealed Douluo eventually.
With Supreme Luck, anything is possible.
[Ding! The trait [Century Douluo] has been updated to [Supreme Luck]!]
Immediately after the update, Lin Feng felt something change. A faint feeling that his luck had already improved.
With this new trait backing him, what would happen if he refreshed another?
He eagerly rubbed his hands together and refreshed the White trait.
Quietly, he made a wish.
Come on, System.
Give me something incredible—something that dominates the heavens and earth!
[Ding! The trait [Confidence] has been refreshed. Congratulations, trait level-up triggered. Please choose one of the following three traits or retain the original.]
"Whoa! A level-up? System, you're quite amazing!"
Lin Feng couldn't believe it.
This was clearly the power of Supreme Luck.
With an upgrade like this, how could he possibly choose to keep the old one?
[Comprehension Mastery (Green): You can quickly master soul skills and possess decent combat instincts.]
[Refined Palate (Green): Your tongue can detect even the most subtle flavors. You're highly suited for becoming a chef.]
[Lightning Reading (Green): You can read at extreme speed and learn anything quickly.]
These three…
Hmm.
Lin Feng noticed a pattern.
Traits like "Prodigy of Ritual and Music" or "Refined Palate"—those focused on life skills—could grant peak-level talent even at Green rank.
Combat and learning-focused ones, though, seemed more modest, just enough to make someone a gifted talent.
Chef? Definitely not.
So… combat or learning?
He hesitated, one hand on his chin.
Learning would allow him to study combat too, but real-time combat intuition couldn't be learned from books.
Still, having a learning trait meant he could master anything.
And his clan had centuries-old manuals, including techniques like Ring Integration.
Since traits could be refreshed again in seven days, he made a temporary decision.
"System, I choose [Lightning Reading]."
[Ding! The trait [Confidence] has been updated to [Lightning Reading]!]
The moment the update completed, Lin Feng felt his mind surge with energy.
After a momentary daze, his consciousness cleared—and he was amazed.
His thinking was sharper, his memory stronger.
The densely packed system text was suddenly easy to read at a glance.
His reading speed was lightning-fast.
If he used this to read novels?
While others used their VIP membership to read one book a day, he could read ten.
That's 300 books a month—definitely worth it.
He'd never worry about reading speed again.
Calm once more, Lin Feng proceeded to refresh "Prodigy of Ritual and Music."
Maybe he could trigger another upgrade?
[Ding! The trait [Ritual and Music Prodigy] has been refreshed. Please choose one of the following three traits or retain the original.]
[Craftsman's Hands (Green): Your hands are exceptionally nimble and well-suited for forging weapons.]
[Modest Talent (Green): You possess innate Rank 7 soul power.]
[Beast Whisperer (Green): You can understand the language of most soul beasts, but cannot communicate with them.]
No level-up this time.
Tsk. Looks like even Supreme Luck has its limits.
Lin Feng reviewed the options.
Beast Whisperer? What's the use if he can't talk to them?
Craftsman's Hands? Sure, but it's not like he had access to Tang Sect weapon blueprints.
Left with little choice, he picked "Modest Talent."
A Rank 7 soul power was solid for early growth.
Now only the Gray trait remained—"Ill-Fated."
Even with Supreme Luck, Lin Feng couldn't be sure he'd remove it.
He forced a smile, pressing his palms together in prayer.
Please, let me get rid of this Gray trait.
If not, what happens?
What if I start falling off cliffs and unlocking divine techniques…
Family slaughtered, then boom—awakens a hidden bloodline.
Gravely injured, on the verge of death, then breaks through.
That'd be both Ill-Fated and Supremely Lucky.
No damn thanks.
Lin Feng stared at the panel, heart pounding as he selected "Refresh."
[Ding! The trait [Ill-Fated] has been refreshed. Congratulations, trait level-up triggered. Please choose one of the following three traits or retain the original.]
[Daily Wealth (White): You receive one Gold Soul Coin per day.]
[Growth Through Adversity (White): When faced with hardship, you gain remarkable perseverance.]
[Celestial Aura (White): Your temperament is extraordinary, akin to a banished immortal. When you grow up, your looks will peak. But it's purely cosmetic.]
The moment the choices appeared, Lin Feng beamed and raised his hands in joy.
Another upgrade!
Supreme Luck never lets me down!
Quickly reviewing the new traits, he couldn't help but complain:
Daily Wealth? Is the system mocking my noble family's wealth—or my rich second uncle?
And "Growth Through Adversity"? That's just "Confidence" in disguise.
He rolled his eyes and gave the system an imaginary middle finger.
But still—no more Gray trait. That alone was worth celebrating.
He grinned, eyes full of contentment.
Now for the final one.
[Celestial Aura]
Altering one's aura and temperament?
Come on, System. Who said looking good is useless?
Back on Blue Star, appearance and charm were goldmines.
And here in Douluo, with his status, he'd be a textbook rich and handsome young master.
No contest.
"System, I choose [Celestial Aura]!"
[Ding! The trait [Ill-Fated] has been updated to [Celestial Aura]!]
As soon as he confirmed, Lin Feng felt something shift.
Looking in the mirror, he was stunned.
His facial features hadn't changed drastically, but his handsomeness had clearly leveled up.
His eyes sparkled with clarity—deep and spotless.
An elegant, carefree aura radiated from within.
"Mmm. This is more like it," he nodded in satisfaction.
With that settled, he opened his personal panel once more.
---
[Host: Lin Feng]
[Age: 6]
[Martial Soul: Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent (High-Tier)]
[Innate Soul Power: Rank 7]
[Traits: Lightning Reading (Green), Modest Talent (Green), Supreme Luck (Purple), Celestial Aura (White)]
---
Looking at the panel, a faint smile tugged at Lin Feng's lips.
With Supreme Luck by his side, he was completely satisfied with his current build.
He dismissed the panel.
Now that the system had finally awakened, it was time to inspect his Martial Soul in detail.
"Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent—Manifest!"
The Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent—his clan's inherited Martial Soul—might not be at the top of the rankings, but it was still a powerful advanced Martial Soul.
With Martial Soul Possession, Lin Feng's eyes flared with fiery light, a red aura coiling around him.
Feeling the surging soul power within, he couldn't help but picture himself in the future—becoming a god.
Outside the window, stars filled the sky.
Eventually, he slumped lazily onto the bed.
The glow faded from his body.
Only the soft sound of breathing remained…
