nTang Shaoyang did not use his newly acquired materials to summon new spirits but to get his current contracted spirits stronger. He knew these spirits were loyal to him. They would be on his side even if he resurrected them later on with a few exceptions.

nDoombringer was a wild card. The Behemoth who sought a thrill in a battle might not stay with him.

nKaroen the Void Knight had not opened up with him as well. He might leave to finish his unfinished business before he dies. He did not know even though they sometimes shared their thoughts.

nBaccara was not fully on his side yet, not until he avenged her. Ammor the Sky Dragon, the Guardian of The Dragon Realm was her killer. But he did not want to fulfill that promise yet.

nThere were The Nirvana Alliance and The God Alliance he needed to take care of first. Now there was also The Ancient Kingdom. He did not want to add the Dragon Realm to his list.

nHe chose Vandir as the first spirit to upgrade to the next rank. Not because they were so close, but because he wanted to see how many Unique Rank Calamities needed for the High Archaic Spirit to reach the Pinnacle Archaic Spirit.

nTang Shaoyang tried with the first one-eyed calamity and checked the progress bar. One Unique Rank Calamity worth 1% progression. That was not good, at all. That meant he needed to look at one hundred Unique Rank Calamities for the upgrade.

nGoing through his inventory, he had one hundred thirty-four Unique Rank Calamities in inventory. With the fifty he took out earlier, he had one hundred eighty-four Unique Rank Calamities in total.

nThat was only enough to upgrade for one High Archaic Spirit. He would need more Unique Rank Calamities to upgrade his current contracted spirits to the pinnacle.

nWe have taken down one kingdom, there are sixteen more. We could have at least fifteen pinnacle ranks by the end of this mission. Of course, you can’t share the remaining sixteen Calamity Kingdoms with others.

nVandir read what was in Tang Shaoyang’s mind and helped do the math, an estimation. He had returned to the Spirit World because he needed to stay there for the Spirit Advancement.

nIf you can have all the colonies as well, then you might have twenty pinnacle ranks.

nThat was almost impossible. He might have the sixteen kingdoms since most of the team would avoid a kingdom. But it would be different with colonies.

nYou are being too ambitious, Boss. Instead of targeting the pinnacle ranks, you should target the high rank instead. That’s more feasible and easier. Then you choose the spirits you fully trust to get to the pinnacle rank. Zara and Karan for example. They are loyal to you, and you trust them.

nThere was no one in the Spirit World but Vandir. The others were summoned outside, so that was why the skeleton did not have to pay attention to his words. No one could hear him but Tang Shaoyang and Avyn.

nThat was more a solid plan than upgrading all his spirits to pinnacle rank. He sacrificed one hundred Unique Rank Calamities for Vandir.

nWoah! Woah! Woah! This is what it feels like advancing to a new rank?

nVandir sounded so happy after the advancement. The skeleton talked on his own, about research and stuff, something no one understood but him.

nDon’t disturb me for at least a month, please!

n“Nope. You must pay for the advancement. You must help me take more Calamity Kingdoms!”

nTang Shaoyang rejected the request without a second thought. Then he recalled Zara back. He had a few hundred Rank 6 Calamities, and he wanted to see how effective Rank 6 Calamity was for the Archaic Spirit.

n0.1%

nThat was the rate for Rank 6 Calamity, which was not worth using for advancement. He needed one thousand Rank 6 Calamity to upgrade the Low Archaic Spirit to intermediate rank. He did not have enough of them because he did not even have a thousand of them to wipe out a kingdom.

nHowever, he had a lot of Rank 7 Calamity. There were more than thirty thousand of Rank 7 Calamities in his inventory. He tried one of them for Zara. It was supposed to give a better rate.

n0.3%

nIt was better, but not much better. It doubled the Rank 6 Calamity, but he had a lot of them in him. Calculating the number in his head. One Rank 7 Calamity was 0.2%, meaning he needed…

nFive hundred Rank 7 Calamities to reach intermediate rank! Both Zara and Avyn said in unison in his head.

nTang Shaoyang’s eyes shone when he heard the number. He checked his inventory once more, checking the exact total of Rank 7 Calamity in his inventory.

n32,827

nHe checked his spirit list. There were twenty-three Low Archaic spirits. That meant he needed…

n11,500 sacrifices to advance them all to intermediate rank. Both girls were better at math than him for sure. They responded at the same time, and later they giggled.

nThere was no hesitation as he recalled all the spirits back to Spirit World. Then he had twenty-three Intermediate Archaic Spirit. But there was still one Low Archaic Spirit, Karoen.

nTang Shaoyang asked Karoen first if he wanted to reach the intermediate rank. Karoen’s main goal was a resurrection, and going further up in rank meant more Spirit Energy for the resurrection.

nThe Void Knight could not decide it so quickly like the other spirits.

n“My Spirit Energy is still less than four million. The only way for me to increase my spirit energy is to sacrifice bodies for summoning. Using bodies for advancement does not increase my Spirit Energy.”

nHe checked his status screen, and Spirit Energy remained the same when he reached the God Rank. He had not summoned a new spirit since Baccara. He had been using the bodies for advancement.

n“Do you want to wait a little more time? Only after I advance them all to high rank will I start summoning the new spirits.”

nThat was his plan, forming a spirit army to fight the Nirvana Alliance and The God Alliance. He could have his Demonic Army with his Demonification, but the spirit was more convenient. He could bring them anywhere and anytime.
