—That's not how it works. I need five blessings to reach Grade SSS, and Grade S Spirit needs three blessings to reach Grade SS Spirits. So don't waste the blessing on me or Grade S Spirit if you still have Grade A Spirit and Grade B Spirit.

Zara explained the details of how the Spirit Blessing worked. There was always a limitation for a skill.

He had 27 Blessings. He would spend many blessings on Grade SS Spirit, but he felt it was worth spending that many blessings on them. Grade SSS would own at least the Ancient Rank… No, Grade SSS Spirit would be stronger than that since Rumru the Black Dragon was Grade SSS Spirit. Rumru was an adult Dragon, the same rank as God.

Of course, he knew that once the living became a spirit; they became weaker. The current Rumru did not possess the same power when he was living. Grade SSS Spirit would be at least at Legend Rank?

"Does that mean Grade SSS Spirit is around Legend Rank?" Tang Shaoyang was not sure about the rank and the grade. He asked Zara the Exalted Fallen Angel. She might know more than him. If that was the case, then he just needed to advance Bronson and Zara to Grade SSS Spirit. With two Grade SSS Spirits, he would own the Gigante Forest for sure.

—Yeah, Grade SSS Spirit is about the same as Legend Rank. But like I said, save the blessing for later. Unless you really need our power to achieve your goal, but I think you are powerful enough to face Legend Rank with your [True Dragon]. Since your purpose is to have a strong spirit army, then you should prioritize the Grade A Spirits.

"That's true as well. But just in case, I will save ten blessings for you and Bronson. My enemy is two Legend Ranks, and there's a chance one of them has reached Demi-God Rank. But wait, does the blessing work instantly, or it will take some time before you guys advance?" Saving ten blessings did not work if it did not work instantly. He could not wait for them to advance if he truly needed them to fight.

—Yes, it's another perk of blessing. It works instantly. You don't have to wait, but the drawback is that we, the spirits, could not adapt to our strength yet.

Having a new power, but did not know how to use it. It was the same as useless. The spirits needed some time to know their new power as well.

"I see…" Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. If Kirin had advanced to Demi-God Rank, then he truly needed the Grade SSS Spirit's help. He was not that confident to fight against the Demi-God Rank, even with his [True Dragon].

"For now, let's use one Blessing on Karan." He would consider using the blessing on Bronson and Zara, but his priority was Karan. The spirit that had been with him from the start. Without Karan, who was willing to be contracted without putting on a fight, he might not reach this far. He might even die against the Lord of the Fogged Ape.

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Karan the Great Warrior!]

[Grade C+ Spirit, Karan the Great Warrior has advanced to Grade B+ Spirit, Karan the Berserker!]

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

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

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Zaneos the Swordmaster!]

[Grade A Spirit, Zaneos the Swordmaster has advanced to Grade S Spirit, Zaneos the Infernal Swordmaster!]

[You have used Spirit Blessing on Zowen the Lightning Magus!]

[Grade A Spirit, Zowen the Lightning Magus has advanced to Grade S Spirit, Zowen the Lighting Grand Magus!]

He used two blessings on Karan to advance the orc to Grade A Spirit, and then he used one on Zaneos and Zowen. Those three were the first three spirits he had. What Tang Shaoyang did not expect was there was a spirit angry with his decision on using two Spirit Blessings on Karan.

—Foolish! Why did you use two Spirit Blessings on a useless Grade C+ Spirit? You are wasting the blessing. You should use it on me and let me advance to Grade S+ Spirit!

Arkanos the Ice Blade was the one who complained to Tang Shaoyang. Angry, yes, that guy was angry. Indeed, if it was from a third perspective, people would choose Arkanos over Karan. However, Tang Shaoyang appreciated the sentiment between him and Karan. Getting Karan stronger before he used [Spirit Resurrection] was his way to repay the favor.

"Why should I use the Spirit Blessing on you? What have you done for me?" Tang Shaoyang fired back at the old spirit.

—It's not about what I have done for you, but it's about what I can do for you in the future. Thinking ahead, young'un!

Arkanos was defiant even though Tang Shaoyang was his Master. Bronson, Aerelion, and Orlean said nothing, even though they had done a lot for him. Yet, this guy dared to talk back to Tang Shaoyang.

"If you are thinking about the future, what about if you become a sacrifice for me instead? Grade A+ Spirit, I can gain maybe a hundred Spirit Power. If I have enough Spiritual Energy, maybe I can visit the Spirit World as well." He did not say that to joke around. He had many Grade S Spirits now, having less than one Grade A+ Spirit did not change his strength.

Sure enough, when Tang Shaoyang said that, Arkanos fell silent. If the latter said that kindly, Tang Shaoyang might explain to him and the other spirits why he chose Karan. However, the old spirit thought that he was in charge of something, so he could say whatever he wanted to.

On top of that, Tang Shaoyang did not have any attachment to Arkanos. He might sacrifice Arkanos for real. He did not want a spirit challenging his authority.
