DOULUO: THE DRAGON GOD WITH GACHA

---

After breakfast, the Lan family left the hotel and took a taxi to the Spirit Pagoda.

Lan Xiao turned to his son and asked, "Xuanyu, do you have a particular spirit soul in mind that you'd like?"

Lan Xuanyu shook his head. "No, Father. Why don't you suggest one? After all, your profession is closely tied to the study of spirit beasts."

Lan Xiao smiled warmly at his son. "It's well-known that the Clear Sky Hammer is a pure attack-type martial spirit and one of the strongest. We won't choose a spirit soul based solely on elemental attributes; we'll focus on one that specializes in power."

As they continued their discussion, time passed quickly, and they soon arrived at the Spirit Pagoda.

The branch of the Spirit Pagoda on Heaven Luo Planet was far grander and more majestic than the one they had back home.

As they entered, a young woman approached them, greeting them with a polite smile. "Greetings, guests. I'm Ye Ling, an attendant here at the Spirit Pagoda. How may I assist you today?"

Ye Ling appeared to be about twenty years old. She had long, black hair that cascaded down her back, a well-proportioned figure, and a strikingly beautiful face.

Lan Xiao responded, "We're looking for a thousand-year-old spirit soul for my son."

Ye Ling nodded and looked at Xuanyu and Xu'er. When she noticed them, she momentarily appeared startled, but quickly regained her composure. "He looks no older than six. Are you sure about this?"

Nan Cheng quickly reassured her, "Don't worry. He's already at the Spiritual Connection Realm and is capable of handling a thousand-year-old spirit ring and soul."

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, visibly surprised. It was rare for someone so young to reach the Spiritual Connection Realm. The boy in front of her, who seemed no older than six, was truly exceptional.

"Alright then," Ye Ling said after a moment. "Please follow me."

She led them to a counter and asked for Xuanyu's identity proof and martial spirit certificate. Lan Xiao handed over the required documents.

As she reviewed the martial spirit certificate, Ye Ling's eyes widened in disbelief. "This little boy is a genius," she thought to herself. "He has twin martial spirits!"

She then asked, "Are you seeking a spirit soul for both of his martial spirits?"

Lan Xiao shook his head. "He already has spirit rings for his Dragon Claw martial spirit. We're here for a spirit soul for his Clear Sky Hammer."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling's eyes widened further. "So, he's already a one-ring spirit master?"

Nan Cheng nodded.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "You've come at the perfect time. With his one-ring cultivation, this will be advantageous for you."

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng exchanged confused glances. "What do you mean?"

Ye Ling explained, "Today is the annual youth fighting competition at the Spirit Pagoda. It's a one-ring spirit master tournament. If he performs well, the price of his spirit soul will be reduced based on his rank."

She continued, "If he wins, he'll earn free entry to the Spirit Ascension Platform and will receive a spirit soul for free."

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were both surprised. "What is the strength of the competitors?" they asked.

Ye Ling clarified, "Contestants are grouped according to their cultivation. Since Xuanyu is a one-ring spirit master, he will be placed in the group for one-ring spirit masters, where the highest soul rank is 19."

Lan Xiao turned to Xuanyu, who was smiling eagerly. "Father, I want to participate!"

Lan Xiao looked at Nan Cheng, and after a brief discussion, they agreed to let Xuanyu take part. Though his soul power was only at rank 12, winning might be difficult. Nevertheless, it would be a valuable experience.

Ye Ling smiled, happy that they had agreed. With a hopeful expression, she asked, "May I be his guide for the tournament? I'm a peak six-ring attack-type soul master."

Lan Xiao furrowed his brow. "A guide? What exactly does that entail?"

Ye Ling explained, "A guide is essentially a coach. They provide their student with important information about opponents and offer strategies to help them succeed."

She continued, "If their student wins, the guide receives a commission and other benefits. Since I'm new to the Spirit Pagoda, this would be a good experience for me. Even if your son doesn't win, it would still be valuable for my growth."

After discussing it with Nan Cheng, Lan Xiao agreed to let Ye Ling guide Xuanyu through the tournament.

With a smile, Ye Ling asked, "Could I learn about Xuanyu's first spirit skill?"

As they had previously discussed, Lan Xuanyu could only use the Silver Dragon Claw spirit ring, unless absolutely necessary.

"My first spirit skill is Water Manipulation," Lan Xuanyu replied.

He raised his left hand, which transformed into a silver dragon claw. Water began to gather above it, forming a sphere. With a quick motion, he shaped the water into a sharp ice spike.

Ye Ling nodded with approval. "That's an excellent skill with great potential."

She then filled out Xuanyu's participation form.

Half an hour later, Lan Xiao, Nan Cheng, and little Xu'er sat in the public gallery, staring at the large soul screen. The screen displayed a battle between two one-ring spirit masters.

"Mommy! Daddy! Will big brother fight like them?" Xu'er asked eagerly.

Nan Cheng smiled and replied, "Yes, you'll see your big brother on the screen very soon."

Since the competition was held in a virtual world, the battles were broadcasted on the soul screen.

As the current match ended, the announcer's voice echoed:

"NOW, IT'S TIME FOR THE NEXT MATCH! THE COMPETITORS ARE WANG XIAO AND LAN XUANYU!"

When Xuanyu appeared on the screen, Xu'er clapped her hands excitedly. "Mommy! Daddy! Big brother is on the screen!"

Lan Xiao smiled fondly. "That's right, my little princess."

He and Nan Cheng silently prayed for their son's victory. They hoped that he wouldn't lose his first battle—it would be a serious blow to his confidence.

After Ye Ling registered Xuanyu, she took him to a room. Inside the room, Xuanyu saw many silver simulator pods were glistening and each took up about four square meters, it was able to accommodate anyone regardless of their size.

Ye Ling explained," These are simulation pods. Through it you can access virtual world."

Under the Ye Ling's guidance, Xuanyu quickly entered simulation pod. The simulation pod was very strange; it wasn't a seat and rather, it seemed like a transparent substance made of a sticky liquid.

When Lan Xuanyu entered, he immediately felt like he stepped into a muddy pond and it was very strange.

"Turn around and sit down." Ye ling said.

Lan Xuanyu sat down slowly and immediately felt his entire body sinking into it. He panicked slightly when he saw that he was about to get caught into that transparent glue but at this moment, a metal mask descended and covered his face before his body was completely soaked with it.

When he was totally immersed in the transparent glue, the sticky feeling disappeared. He suddenly felt free and the metal mask brought a sense of numbness, causing his sea of consciousness to lightly tremble continuously.

"Don't panic, Xuanyu, what you are experiencing is perfectly normal. After this, you will enter another world."

"Buzz——"

With the light buzzing sound, Lan Xuanyu only felt his body relaxed all of a sudden like his entire body was falling and in the next moment, the darkness before him suddenly lit up.
