[Your Grade S+ Spirit, Bronson the Knight Slayer has advanced to Grade SS Spirit!]

[Your Grade SS Spirit, Bronson the Knight Slayer has received enlightenment!]

[Your Grade SS Spirit, Bronson the Knight Slayer has received a new title, Bronson the Executioner!]

After millions of sacrifices, he heard the notification. The first Grade SS Spirit he got from advancing his available spirit.

"I am very grateful for your generosity, Master. This Bronson will use his power to repay your kindness," Bronson manifestation knelt toward Tang Shaoyang.

Not long after that, the manifestation blurred as Bronson returned to the spiritual space for his enlightenment. He did not know what the enlightenment did for the Spirit, but it took time for the spirit to wake up once they received enlightenment.

Zaneos and Yowe were the prime examples for this as they had not awakened from the enlightenment.

The unfortunate thing about the [Spirit Advancement], he could not know how many corpses for his spirits to advance. But he was sure that it took over twenty million corpses, a high-quality corpse at that for his two Grade S Spirit to advance to Grade S+ Spirit with one of them successfully advancing to Grade SS Spirit.

That was a lot of resources. If not for the situation, he wanted to fill the empty contracts with Grade S+ Spirit or Grade S Spirit before summoning Grade B Spirit for levels.

[Spirit Manifestation] a superior version of his [Spirit Avatar]. While [Spirit Avatar] summoned a spirit with his level as the limitation, [Spirit Manifestation] gave his Spirit 150 levels above him.

Of course, the level could not surpass their original level before they died. Karan was an example of that. Before the Great Warrior died, he was level 531. So he was level 531 when he summoned the orc through [Spirit Manifestation].

'Grade C+ Spirit is this strong, then how am I supposed to win if Karan decides to fight back then?' This baffled Tang Shaoyang.

Back then, he was a low-leveled fighter with no class. The chance of winning against was less than a percent if not zero. His head was spinning as another thought popped, 'What about Zaneos? What about Zowen and the others?'

The grading system was hard to understand. He also could not compare Karan with the evolution stage. Karan was a hundred levels stronger than King Biron he just killed. This made him curious about the other spirits.

What was their level? How strong were they compared to him? He felt surreal that he could defeat those who were far higher in level.

All Spirits outside while the ones inside him were resting in their enlightenment. No one could share thoughts or experiences at this moment.

He snapped out of his thoughts and noticed his armies were pushing out their way of the wall he created.

Tang Shaoyang turned around only to see that most zombies were a mix of stage-2 zombies, stage-3 zombies, and stage-4 zombies. This was the last defense that got left behind during the quick marching.

Noticing this, he realized that the battle was over. Stage-4 zombies posed no threat to his armies. He watched all the Tarriors go through their first advancement last night. All Tarriors with class had gone through the advancement while his spirits filled the gap Tarriors left behind for the advancement.

Without a doubt, his armies had gotten a lot stronger, 'But I am not sure this is enough to face the Lionax Kingdom or not.'

"I am sorry, Aere. I will use the remaining zombies to summon more spirits for the sacrifices. I can't use them for your advancement," Tang Shaoyang then glanced at the flying wyvern above him.

"I am fine, Master. There are a lot of zombies in this world. I can wait until then," The Dark Wyvern replied respectfully.

The situation did not need him to clean the corpses as his armies were attacking instead of defending their ground. There was no need for him to worry that the piling up of corpses would hinder his army's movement as they kept moving forward, slaying all the zombies in their path.

"Alright guys, the war is over. It's time to go back, I don't have much mana left to maintain you guys outside," he talked to his spirits.

Tang Shaoyang maintained the [Spirit Manifestation] all night. If he wanted to maintain them longer, he had to transform into his dragon form again, which was unnecessary since the battle was over.

The spirits returned to the contracted space without him canceling the manifestation. Tang Shaoyang then watched his armies slaughter all the zombies for a few hours.

By the time the sun was right above their heads, all the zombies were killed. Over twelve hours of continuous battle, all the zombies were killed. There were no cheers from his armies as they went back with their heads hung low.

He had been there before, fighting for days against the zombie horde. He understood them as he told Zhang Mengyao to lead the armies back to the cities while he stayed behind.

The after effect for continuously killing the zombies. The weariness of their minds for continuously killing the zombies and the lack of sleep was detrimental to them.

"It seems we will take a day or two to wait for them to recover," Tang Shaoyang wanted them to grow strong, not just physically but mentally as well. Forcing them to fight again would just break them.

"But why did King Biron lead his armies back to Hangzhou? Have they met the Lionax Kingdom? They should not have met with the Lionax Kingdom or King Biron won't be surprised with King Rudin's death announcement," This battle should not happen if the Daian Kingdom and the Dacian Kingdom clashed.

This had become a mystery. He wanted to send Wen to check over Jinhua City, but then he was quite worried. He had to be cautious with the unknown. He did not want to lose Wen.

"It seems I have to focus on my level instead of contracting a new spirit," Tang Shaoyang muttered.

"Fifteen thousand zombies for Grade B Spirit. I can get one level from the Grade B Spirit…" He checked his level, he was level 437 now.

"The next advancement should be at level 600 or even level 700. My talent will be complete by then, and I can unseal my Dragon Bloodline as well. Advancement for both classes would bring my level to a higher level as well," He was being overly concerned by the Lionax Kingdom.

"So, I will need at least 263 levels for my next advancement. That should be around four to five million sacrifices…" Tang Shaoyang looked over the scattered bodies that were strewn all over the place.

"This should be enough…" he was about to [Sky Walk] until three figures approached him, "What should we do next?"

The figure was his Supreme General accompanied by Wei Xi and Cao Jingyi.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and smiled, "Get rest, let the soldiers have their well-deserved rest for a day? Or maybe two days while we plan our next move. You guys also go rest, I will stay behind to take care of the corpses. We don't want to be plagued by leaving them in the open for too long."
