Reincarnated with a lucky draw system

Chapter 492: FIXED SOUL

"So? Should I swallow it?" Aaron asked, holding the tiny pill delicately between his fingers.

"No, no, no," Lin Guo shook his head hurriedly, his eyes widening in alarm. "If you do that, you will likely not gain any result. The pill is too low-level to solve the great damage you have suffered."

"I knew it," Aaron replied with a smirk. "You are a scam."

He reached out casually, going for Lin Guo’s ear with a playful yet threatening twist.

"Relax, relax," Lin Guo shifted back in horror, his large frame stumbling slightly. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his breath quickening. "That’s not what I mean."

"It’s still useful," he added quickly, his voice steadying. "All you have to do is upgrade the rank of the pill."

"Hmm," Aaron murmured, his interest piqued. "What are you trying to say?"

"You think I can increase the rank?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Well, through the conventional way, no," Lin Guo admitted. "But back in wherever you took me to, I noticed you had omnipotent powers there. I mean, you killed me several times and brought me back to life. And you also protected my mental state all at the same time."

The memory of those moments lingered in Lin Guo’s eyes, a mix of awe and lingering fear.

"So you are saying..." Aaron trailed off, piecing it together.

"Yes," Lin Guo confirmed eagerly. "We take the pill to that place and increase the rank of the pill."

"What a waste of time," Aaron scoffed. "If I could heal myself with the omnipotent powers of my sanctuary, I wouldn’t be here, would I?"

Irritation built up within him, a slow simmer in his chest. His fingers tightened around the pill, the sanctuary’s calm air feeling suddenly stifling.

"Of course, that wouldn’t have worked," Lin Guo explained patiently. "I’m sure you were attacked by the most talked-about mystic arm. Your omnipotence would have been useless. But now that you have a pill made by Chen Mo that has his essence, it should be an easy task to accomplish."

"Hmm," Aaron considered, his annoyance fading into thoughtful calculation. "As foolish as you look, you do give smart advice."

He praised Lin Guo with a faint nod, the words carrying a rare hint of approval.

The sanctuary hummed softly around them, its boundless energy a comforting presence.

"Alright, let’s get off to work," Aaron informed Lin Guo decisively. "The faster I regain my strength, the faster I help you accomplish your goal."

Without wasting much time, Aaron opened a rift to the sanctuary. Swirling shadows framed the portal, pulling at the edges of reality with a low whisper.

He passed through it quickly, the familiar rush of omnipotence washing over him like a cool wave. Lin Guo followed behind, his steps hesitant but determined.

Within the sanctuary, Aaron worked swiftly. He made use of his omnipotence to increase the rank of the pill, channeling raw power into its core.

Following the specific instructions of Lin Guo, he focused intently. The air crackled with energy, faint sparks dancing around his hands.

He simply magnified the quality of the entire composition without increasing specific components above the others. Balance was key, each element enhancing the whole in perfect harmony.

It was an easy job for Aaron, one that took only a second in the timeless expanse of the sanctuary. Time bent to his will here, stretching and compressing as needed.

"Done."

Aaron finished the upgrade, staring at the pill now glowing with a mystifying might. It shimmered like a captured star, radiating waves of potent aura that filled the space.

Aaron had pushed the pill to the max until it reached the Absolute rank. The transformation left it humming with restrained power, its surface etched with faint, glowing runes.

He could only stop there after several attempts to go above it, each one failing despite his efforts. Frustration flickered briefly in his eyes, but he pushed it aside.

He was unaware of the reason, but the cause was simple. Chen Mo’s current rank was the Absolute rank, and since it was his essence infused within, Aaron could not surpass it.

Well, to Aaron, that was good enough for him. The pill’s enhanced glow promised results, its energy resonating with his damaged soul.

"Here goes nothing," Aaron said. "If it doesn’t work, just know to dig your grave beforehand."

He gave Lin Guo a warning gaze, his eyes sharp and unyielding. The sanctuary’s vast emptiness amplified the threat, shadows lengthening around them.

Aaron swallowed the pill without further hesitation. It dissolved on his tongue, a burst of warmth spreading through his body like liquid fire.

The effect was instant. A rushing tide of energy surged inward, mending his severed soul with relentless force.

His talents returned to him in waves, each one slotting back into place with a satisfying click. His bloodline awakened fully, pulsing with renewed vigor.

"Now that’s the change I want," Aaron muttered. The feeling of pleasure threatened to escape his lips, a deep satisfaction blooming in his chest.

But for the sake of his pride, he reined the pleasure in. He prevented it from showing, his expression remaining stoic and controlled.

He couldn’t, after all, allow Lin Guo to see a shameful side of him. That would spell the end of Lin Guo’s life, a fleeting thought that crossed his mind.

After what felt like an instant in the sanctuary’s timeless flow, Aaron’s soul mended together completely. His strength recovered fully, every fracture sealed without a trace.

"Damn luck," Aaron praised softly, "you surely are the fairest of them all."

He threatened to even contort in joy, his body humming with restored power. The sanctuary seemed brighter, more vibrant around him.

But his luck hadn’t shown Aaron the rest of it yet. A deeper surge waited, building like a storm on the horizon.

As his lucky draw activated, it became another game changer. It made Aaron feel like the protagonist of an overpowered tale, destiny bending to his whim.

"While at it, might as well go for a lucky draw," Aaron smiled faintly.

"System, hit it," Aaron called out to his system, anticipation sharpening his focus.
