Chapter 585: Spirit Blessing

Tang Shaoyang's story still shocked Roan and Ashley. Both were still in a state of disbelief. Not only did the man finish the Trial of The Epic in three days, but he cleared all the waves in the trial. It did not stop there. He also had a dragon pet now. Tang Shaoyang thoroughly shocked them to the core. He left them as Selena waved her hand at him as he headed out of the office.

Wrath and Greed followed him, staying on his shoulders. While Wrath kept glancing at the black cat, Greed ignored the Golden Dragon even though it was a dragon. Maybe Wrath had not matured enough to intimidate Greed with his aura. The latter did not look uncomfortable with The Golden Dragon around him.

When he reached the door and tried to open it, he broke the handle. This always happened to him when he had a significant increase in his strength. It took him some time to adjust to his strength. The reason he did not return the two girls' hug.

He looked back, and the three people looked at him strangely. Tang Shaoyang waved his hand awkwardly and headed to his room. There was a dedicated room for him in Biaska Inn. He went there, and fortunately, he did not break the door this time.

Tang Shaoyang hopped onto the bed and straightened his body on the top of soft. Three days passed in this dimension, but he was sure that the trial was more than three days. He did not know how long he spent in that trial dimension since there was no day and night. But he was sure that he stayed there more than a week? The conversion time did not add up with what Roan told him.

Roan told him that an hour in this world was a day in that trial dimensional. He did not know how the old man determined that, but he was sure that was wrong.

—Welcome back, Master. And Congratulations on your advancement to Epic Rank.

At this moment, Zaneos' voice rang in his head. The Demon Swordmaster welcomed and congratulated his master back from the Trial of The Epic. After Zanoes, the other spirits followed to congratulate him. His head buzzed with the spirit's voice.

"And I have good news for you guys as well." After saying that, he opened the status window for the spirit to see his skills. He showed them the new skills. After he showed them the new skills, a deep silence followed. Resurrection skill was merely Zaneos' conjecture.

The demon did not think that the skill existed. After a brief silence, Zowen was the first one to scream. The hysterical scream rang in his head. Tang Shaoyang could feel the excitement of his spirits. Zaneos was not an exception. Even though the Demon Swordmaster did not express his joy, he could feel the happiness of the demon.

"Now the bad news. I don't have enough Spiritual Energy to use the skill. In order to use the skill, I need Spiritual Energy instead of mana. To gain Spiritual Energy, I need Spiritual Power, an attribute that could only be gained by sacrificing the spirits." Tang Shaoyang explained the bad news.

"However, I have over fifty Grade B Spirits from the Trial of The Epic. I can sacrifice them for Spiritual Power…" Tang Shaoyang had not finished his words, as the Demon Swordmaster cut him midway.

—No, don't sacrifice them. You can't sacrifice your contracted spirits for other spirits, Master. I don't agree with that!"

That was a firm response from the Demon Swordmaster. But then he remembered Zaneos' past. The Demon King sacrificed Zaneos to save the other demons. Zaneos did not want the same repeat.

—We can gain Spiritual Power slowly. Ensuring that I can live again is enough for me now. Let's take this slowly, Master.

"That's fine by me." Tang Shaoyang agreed with that. "Let's take this slowly. We need to figure out how much Spiritual Energy is needed to use the skill. There are a lot of things we need to think about, but for now, let me allocate by attribute points first…"

Tang Shaoyang explained how the new attribute system worked. He needed to discuss with them which one he should focus on. These spirits were more experienced than him in the battle. They should know what he lacked, and what he needed to improve.

—Based on your fighting style, I recommend you focus on your Strength and Vitality. And since you want to maintain the Spirit Manifestation as well, you can pour the same amount of AP to Magic Power as well.

Zowen was the first one to voice out her opinion. Zaneos, Orlean, Bronson, and the other Grade A and above spirits voiced their voice. Most of them agreed with Zowen's opinion, including Zaneos.

Amongst many spirits, he did not hear a voice from one spirit, Zara the Exalted Fallen Angel.

"Zara? What's your opinion?" Tang Shaoyang asked the Fallen Angel. She was the only Grade SS Spirit after Bronson the Executioner.

—I don't think you should focus on your Strength and Vitality. Don't forget with your new skills, [Wrath] and [Attribute Shift]. On top of that, you have [Grand Dragon Transformation], [True Dragon], and [Spirit Integration]. I don't think you need to focus on your Strength and Vitality. You just need to focus on your Magic Power and put enough AP on the remaining attributes.

Zara the Exalted Fallen Angel understood all the skills Tang Shaoyang had. She felt it was a waste to focus on Strength and Vitality when he has [Attribute Shift] skill. It was a skill that shifting one attribute to another attribute. Tang Shaoyang could shift all his Magic Power to Strength if he really needed Strength in the future. Attribute allocation should not be an issue for someone with Wrath Talent.

—The reason I ask to focus on Magic Power is so you can use your skill infinitely while maintaining your active skill, such as [Epic Integration], [Grand Dragon Transformation], [True Dragon], or even [Spirit Manifestation]. If you need more physical power, you can raise your strength temporarily with [Attribute Shift].

When Zara pointed out that he had [Attribute Shift] skill, no spirits were against that proposal.

—If that really is the case, attribute allocation is no longer an issue for you, Master. I think the Fallen Angel's idea is the best for your skills. Especially if you want to create an army of undying spirits.

Zaneos agreed with Zara's idea as well. That was the best for Tang Shaoyang. He did not know that Tang Shaoyang had [Attribute Shift] skill before. If that was the case, his Master truly needed a lot of mana to main the undying army. Spirits were the dead, so if they were killed when they were being summoned by [Spirit Manifestation]. They just returned to Spiritual Space. No damage was done to them. Tang Shaoyang just needed to summon them back with [Spirit Manifestation].

Tang Shaoyang felt that was indeed the best for him. He followed his Spirits' advice and raised Agility, Stamina, and Vitality to 10-Star. He spent another sixty hundred thousand Attribute Points. After that, he put the remaining attribute points on Magic Power.

——————————

Attribute Point: 4,962 

Strength: Epic (10-Star) [0/20,000 AP 11-Star] 

Agility: Epic (10-Star) [0/20,000 AP 11-Star]

Vitality: Epic (10-Star) [0/20,000 AP 11-Star]

Stamina: Epic (10-Star) [0/20,000 AP 11-Star]

Magic Power: Epic (48-Star) [0/20,000 AP 49-Star]

Spirit Power: 301

Sense: Epic (5-Star) [4,180/24800 6-Star]

Mana: 1,059,999

——————————

That was Tang Shaoyang's current attribute after he spent 1.7 million attribute points. He had over a million mana. His eyes looked at the mana he had right now and muttered in a low voice. "I think I have too much mana now."

—More is always better than less. Moreover, you will keep summoning the new spirits from now on. I think a million mana is still not enough. 

That was what Zara told him after he said that. That was true. Ninety-five spirit was just the start, he would have more spirits later. Now the attribute allocation matter was over, he needed to be prepared for the next agenda. The next agenda would be a battle against two Guardian Beasts of the Gigante Forest and the Dark Tribe.

There was a skill that had never been used before, [Spirit Blessing]. The Spirit Blessing was level 9 now, and he had 27 blessings available. He could use them now without feeling bad about the other spirits. He had the name for the spirits that deserved his blessing.

—You haven't used a single blessing yet?

Zara's surprised voice rang in his head.

"Yup, but I will use it now. I still don't know what this blessing does, though. Do you know something about Spirit Blessing?" From the name of the skill, it was a skill to strengthen the spirit. Maybe it could help them to evolve, but he was not sure either, hence he never used it before.

—Spirit Blessing will help the spirit advance to the next grade, an entire grade. If you used a blessing on Grade B Spirit, then the spirit will advance to Grade A Spirit instead of Grade B+ Spirit.

The concept was the same as the Spirit Advancement, but Spirit Blessing did not need sacrifice. The advancement was much better as well. This is the superior version of the Spirit Advancement. Of course, there was a limitation where he only had a limited blessing.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened when he heard the explanation about [Spirit Blessing] from Zara. "Does that mean if I use the blessing on you and Bronson, both of you will reach Grade SSS Spirit?"
