Armipotent

There was no more response from Arkanos. Tang Shaoyang completely shut him down with the word 'sacrifice'. He then opened the status window and checked all the spirits. He immediately found two spirits for the blessing. The first one was Grade A Spirit, Malki the Fire Ant Emperor. The second was Grade A+ Spirit, Feera the Adolescent Chimera.

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Malki the Fire Ant Emperor!]

[Grade A Spirit, Malki the Fire Ant Emperor has advanced to Grade S Spirit, the Bladefire Ant Emperor!]

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Feera the Adolescent Chimera!]

[Grade A+ Spirit, Feera the Adolescent Chimera has advanced to Grade S+ Spirit, Feera the Chimera!]

Once someone became a spirit, their growth halted. Blessing and Spirit Advancement were the only way for a spirit to grow stronger or grow into adulthood. In Feera's case, the Chimera now had matured and become an adult Chimera.

—Thank you for your blessing, My Lord.

Malki the Bladefire Ant Emperor and Feera thanked him simultaneously. Tang Shaoyang nodded in response as he looked over more spirits for the blessing. His primary focus was Grade A Spirit and Grade A+ Spirit. He had three spirits in the same grade.

Yowe the Undead Elite Lancer and Rosalie the Flame Queen were Grade A Spirit, and the last one was Grade A+ Spirit, Arkanos the Ice Blade. The others were Grade S Spirit and above or Grade B+ Spirit and lower.

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Yowe the Undead Elite Lancer!]

[Grade A Spirit, Yowe the Undead Elite Lancer has advanced to Grade S Spirit, Yowe the Undead Master Lancer!]

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Rosalie the Flame Queen!]

[Grade A Spirit, Rosalie the Flame Queen has advanced to Grade S Spirit, Rosalie the Flame Empress!]

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Arkanos the Ice Blade!]

[Grade A+ Spirit, Arkanos the Ice Blade has advanced to Grade S+ Spirit, Arkanos the Ice and Fire Blade!]

—Thank you for your generosity, My Lord! I will not disappoint your trust in me!

Yowe was the first one to say his thanks to Tang Shaoyang. The Undead did not expect that he would be chosen for the blessing. His Lord has many Grade S Spirit, so he thought his Lord would use the blessing on them instead of him.

—Thank you~ I will pay you more if you can resurrect me later~

Rosalie was the second one. She said that in a seductive tone. Arkanos followed at the last. He started with an apology.

—I apologize for my insolent remark, Master. I promise that will never happen again and thank you for giving this General your blessing. This General will not disappoint you!

Tang Shaoyang was not that petty to not use the blessing on Arkanos. There was no reason for him not to use it on the old man. Of course, if that old man remained defiant with his tone and attitude, Tang Shaoyang would sacrifice him for real. He was willing to listen to criticism and advice, but he did not want the spirit who was thinking they were above him.

Karan was the only Grade A Spirit, but he had used two blessings on the Berserkermaster. It would be unfair to the other spirits if he used one more blessing on him, but… "Who cares? It's up to me to decide!" After saying that, he used a blessing for Karan the Berserkermaster.

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Karan the Berserkermaster!]

[Grade A+ Spirit, Karan the Berserkermaster has advanced to Grade S+ Spirit, Firestorm Berserker!]

—I…

Karan wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. Tang Shaoyang was so generous to him by giving him three blessings. The Orc Warrior was not good with his words, so he did not know what to say. Tang Shaoyang could feel that Karan was very grateful to him, and that was enough.

"It's okay, buddy. You don't have to say anything to me. But I need your companion in the next battle, and I will be waiting for your action with your new class. Don't lose to Zowen!" Tang Shaoyang smiled. He had received the Orc's sentiment, and that was enough.

—There's no way this brute can win against me, even though his grade is higher than mine. I have become a Grand Magus now. There's no chance for him to win!

Zowen's bold claim rang in his head, and then Karan became lively again as the orc refuted the female magus' claim. It was the good old days where the two quarreled. Tang Shaoyang shook his head and searched for more spirits. He had 17 Spirit Blessings left now. If he needed to save ten Spirit Blessings, then he could only use 7 Spirit Blessings. There were several names in his mind, Lilliana the Crimson General, Crystal the Frost Knight, Jet the Abyss Raven, and Doru the Obsidian Golem Newborn.

—I don't want a blessing. You should save that for the others. However, in exchange, I want you to resurrect me first.

Before Tang Shaoyang could use the Spirit Blessing on those four names, Lilliana spoke first. It seemed she could read what he would do next. Tang Shaoyang then recalled their first meeting when she stated her request. She wanted to be a mother and raised her child. That was her regret, and maybe that's why she did not want to get any stronger. The spirit with unusual regret.

"You are wrong there. Even if you want to be a mother, you need to get stronger to protect your children. What if there's a danger that's stronger than you in the future?" Tang Shaoyang tried to persuade the Crimson General to receive a blessing. This was a weird situation. The other spirits wanted the Spirit Blessing badly, yet this one refused to get one.

—Don't I have you? You will protect the mother of your children and your children, right? There's no need for me to be stronger or else you will ask me to fight for your empire as well. I don't want that to happen!

Lillian responded flatly.
