'Or maybe we can be the one lucky winner to pass the round without participating?'
Ainsley's eyes glinted in the dark.
'Yes, with my luck manipulation ability, how is it hard? I can just raise my luck level to the highest to ensure my winning probability!'
By then, the lucky Ainsley would certainly obtain that lucky pass to advance to the next round without participating.
Thinking like this, Ainsley hurriedly closed the website and prepared to raise her own luck level.
She didn't know how good her luck was, but surely it wouldn't be far from crystal level, right? Maybe only one or two groups below, right?
Then, it wouldn't be hard for her to use her luck manipulation ability!
Ainsley giggled to herself as she looked at the time displayed on her phone. It was still a few hours before midnight...still a long time to go.
Then, she could start now and happily wait for the result!
With these thoughts, Ainsley immediately sat on her bed and started to use her luck manipulation ability.
She could feel the golden energy in her body moving toward her whole body, and with a thought, Ainsley commanded.
'Raise my luck level to the highest level!'
If this were the usual, Ainsley would have been able to do that.
Unfortunately, her luck level was only at gold, and it was even on the edge of dropping to a lower level.
Plus, her soul was still wounded, and she couldn't possibly use too much of her luck manipulation ability to push her luck to the highest level.
Thus, Ainsley's words had just dropped in her mind when a familiar pain suddenly assaulted her whole body, starting from her brain to her toes.
!!
"Ahhh!" Ainsley shrieked as she tossed the phone in her hand to the bed next to her. Without warning, the baby started to roll on the bed with tears gushing out of her eyes.
It hurts! It hurts! Fck! It feels as if my body is being torn bit by bit! Damn– this is a pain coming from my soul, okay?
Ainsley broke in a cold sweat, and her cry alarmed Cellino, who had always paid attention to their bond.
When Cellino felt Ainsley's pain, he instantly dashed to the bedroom and saw Ainsley crying so hard that she almost choked on her tears.
Her eyes reddened as if someone bullied her, and with her tiny hands clutching her chest, Cellino instantly knew what happened.
[Master! Awoooo! Did you use your luck manipulation ability?! Did you injure your soul or something??]
Even if Ainsley didn't tell Cellino about her soul injury at first, in the end, she still told Cellino about her situation.
That's why Cellino understood the current problem and deduced the crux of the problem right away.
[Master! Quick! Stop using your ability! Awoooo!]
Cellino was so anxious that his eyes reddened too. He jumped onto the bed and started to bite Ainsley's clothes, trying to persuade the baby.
Ainsley was also no fool. Why would she suffer in silence just to avoid participating in the tournament's second round?
She quickly stopped using her luck manipulation ability, and the pain disappeared like nothing.
But it didn't mean the baby wasn't traumatised.
Her face was as pale as a fish's belly, and her eyes were dull. She kept trembling from head to toe while hugging Cellino's warm body in her arms.
"C-c-cell...C-cellino…"
[Master, I'm here, master! Awooo! It's okay. Your pain is gone! It's okay, master.]
Cellino licked Ainsley's face and rubbed his fluffy face to Ainsley's cheek, trying to console her from trauma.
If he could, he wished that Ainsley's pain would be transferred to him.
Ainsley hugged Cellino tightly and buried her face on his furry back. The baby inhaled sharply before slowly closing her eyes, seemingly afraid to see anything around her.
"Cell...it hurts...it hurts so much…"
Ainsley was traumatised so badly.
A soul injury was indeed serious. Even when Ainsley had drunk the soul-nourishment potion, it didn't mean that the bullets in her soul went away.
Whenever Ainsley used an ability linked to her soul, it would trigger the bullets to move, slowly tearing the soul, creating four holes here and there.
That's how Ainsley felt immense pain whenever she used too much luck manipulation ability.
Just a bit would be fine, but who would have thought that her luck level was so far from the highest level?
Because of this incident, Ainsley had to drink the soul nourishment potion she once auctioned to someone else at her family's first auction.
After drinking the potion, Ainsley's soul healed very well, but the bullets were still there, acting as a time bomb.
Whenever Ainsley recalled the bullets, she suddenly didn't want to use her luck manipulation ability anymore.
"Cell...when will your siblings be willing to open the gate? I'm afraid...I need your brother to take out these bullets from my soul…"
Ainsley sobbed as she stood in front of the Golden Gate.
Only a soul healer could altogether remove the bullets because they could act as a soul surgeon, taking out harmful instances from one's soul.
Ainsley needed the soul healer's ability on a spirit so that she could fix her own soul without telling anyone about her situation.
She undoubtedly needed Code-B to summon the corresponding spirit...even if she had to use her luck manipulation once more and endured that tearing pain.
"Why won't they open the gate? What did I do wrong?" Ainsley quietly stood in front of the closed gate while hugging Cellino.
Cellino himself was dumbfounded. He truly didn't understand why his siblings would do this.
They clearly knew that Ainsley needed them…
Why did they shut her out?!
