The ruined building was deathly silent. Su Xiao confirmed that no other Heroic Spirits were around and reunited with Bubu Wang.
In their original formation, Bubu Wang followed Su Xiao, while Matou Sakura followed Bubu Wang, and Matou Zouken followed Matou Sakura.
The group gradually moved away from the battlefield, and since Matou Zouken was too conspicuous, Su Xiao could only search for an uninhabited residence on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
Half an hour later, inside an abandoned warehouse.
A faint smell of dust permeated the warehouse, but Su Xiao didn't mind. He was waiting for the previous battle's aftermath to subside.
Undoubtedly, the previous battle would attract the attention of other Heroic Spirits or Masters. The Ryuudou Temple was nearby, so it was safest to wait a few hours before searching for it.
With some time on his hands, Su Xiao took out the Heroic Spirit Casket dropped by Di Lu Mu Duo. This item was similar to a treasure chest but could only yield one item or skill.
To open this "treasure chest," Su Xiao naturally used the Destiny Redemption Lighter. Destiny Redemption had been upgraded, and due to its compatibility with the Golden Wax, it had naturally ascended in quality, going from blue to purple. And there was a surprise as well.
He took out the Destiny Redemption Lighter. The all-metal lighter had become even more exquisite.

When Su Xiao first entered the Holy Grail world, he had already checked the attributes of Destiny Redemption. Looking at it again now, he still felt a racing heart.
Destiny Redemption had gained a new "Strong Luck" attribute. The skill effect was simple: Luck attribute +1!
This was the reason why Su Xiao's Heroic Spirit luck attribute was E- to C+. Don't underestimate this C+ attribute; it meant that Su Xiao was luckier than the average person. If his original luck attribute was considered, he would have been E- to D, and the upper limit of his luck attribute might have been D+. Achieving a C+ was currently an accomplishment.
As for why his luck varied so dramatically, Su Xiao wasn't sure. Could it be due to his tumultuous fate?
It made sense. When Su Xiao was young, his biological parents tragically died, and a pair of Contractor husband and wife later adopted him.
According to Su Xiao's estimation, the Contractor couple who raised him were likely compelling, conservatively estimated to be above Rank 3. He wasn't sure how strong they were specifically, but even such adoptive parents were ultimately 'overcome' by him. This demonstrated the power of an E-luck attribute.
If his 'innocent' adoptive parents knew about Su Xiao's luck attribute, they probably wouldn't have chosen to adopt him.
Su Xiao shook his head. Although his Contractor's adoptive parents used him to conceal their identities, he didn't harbour much resentment. Regardless of the motives, nurturing was an act of kindness, and he had already avenged the death of his adoptive parents. Dwelling on these matters now was meaningless; some things didn't have clear right or wrong.
Su Xiao's current goal was to survive. Indeed, to survive. In this harsh Reincarnation Paradise, only by surviving could he make life worthwhile.
Not only did he need to survive, he also needed to grow more robust continually. Not getting stronger meant chronic death, bullying, lack of freedom, and feeling stifled.
Therefore, thinking about ideals and the future at this moment was empty talk. Becoming stronger was the top priority in a place like the Reincarnation Paradise. Other matters could only be addressed when he had grown to a certain extent.
Taking a drag of his cigarette, Su Xiao lit it with Destiny Redemption. His base luck attribute was 2 points, and with the addition of the "God of Gamblers" state's 4 points, his luck attribute reached an astonishing 6 points.
This was a significant concept. Ada (the God of Gamblers' sister), who had fought Su Xiao in the Survival Trial, had a luck attribute of 8. Once luck attributes exceeded 5 points, they transformed into actual combat power.
With the enhanced God of Gamblers states active, Su Xiao felt as if the entire world had turned in his favour.
Picking up the Heroic Spirit Casket, Su Xiao hesitated momentarily before opening it.
[You have opened the Heroic Spirit Casket·Dark Purple.]
[Please start the random draw.]
A spinning wheel appeared in front of Su Xiao, with a black pointer above it. The wheel was divided into several sections, each with a different colour: purple, dark purple, light gold, and the same colour as the equipment quality. Higher-grade sections occupied less space on the wheel.
For instance, the "Basic Footwork LV.10 Scroll" had a pattern in the purple section, which occupied one-third of the entire wheel.
There were also a few sections of dark purple, with patterns such as "Crimson Rose of Exorcism" and "Golden Rose of Obliteration."
The most minor section was light gold, with only two blocks. The patterns on them were "Insight (True)" and "Seal Scroll·Love's Black Mole."
Su Xiao's gaze locked onto "Insight (True)." He was already familiar with the Insight ability, and this "Insight (True)" was likely an enhanced or upgraded version.
When he fought Di Lu Mu Duo earlier, Su Xiao noticed that even though the Counter Shield countered Di Lu Mu Duo, there was a significant difference in their strength, as well as Di Lu Mu Duo's proficiency with the spear being inferior to Su Xiao's swordsmanship, it still wasn't easy to strike him. This was likely due to the Insight.
At the moment when the enhanced God of Gamblers state was active, Su Xiao was brimming with confidence. He rotated the wheel with his consciousness, and the wheel began to spin rapidly.
Su Xiao's gaze remained fixed on the area for Insight (True), which was far from the pointer. The power of the E-luck attribute's lower limit was beyond doubt.
