Chapter 1532: Spirit Advancement 4
After Avyn and the others killed the Rank 7 and the Rank 8 Calamity, the battle was over and all the bodies were thrown in front of him. Karoen was doing the count, a hundred and thirty-seven Rank 6 Calamity.
Tang Shaoyang checked how many were left in his inventory. There were thirty-seven Rank 6 Calamities. He had two hundred and ten Rank 6 Calamities, meaning he could only advance five of seven of Grade SSS Spirits to Ascendant Spirit.
He used eighty Rank 6 Calamities to advance Bronson and Orlean to Ascendant Spirit. Then he used the remaining Rank 6 Calamities for Aerelion, his favorite wyvern with Galeon and Feera who had been with him longer than Jovrick and Radiance. That made him have five Ascendant Spirits in total, and all of them obtained a new title.
Ascendant Spirit: [Bronson - The Slayer], [Orlean - The Demon King], [Feera - The Inferno Chimera], [Galeon - The Greater Demon], [Aerelion - The Infernal Wyvern King]
From Ascendant to Archaic required twenty-five God Rank sacrifices. Tang Shaoyang checked his stock, and he had sixty left, combining the Vigamaur Dgaror's members as well as Eson and the two Admin Helpers. He could get two more Archaic Spirits and left with ten God Rank's bodies.
His choice for the next two Archaic Spirits was Orlean and Bronson. Both were the longest with him, hence he gave them the chance.
[Congratulations! Bronson the Slayer has advanced to Archaic Spirit!]
[Congratulations! Bronson the Slayer obtained a new title, Demonic Slayer!]
[Congratulations! Orlean the Demon King has advanced to Archaic Spirit!]
[Congratulations! Orlean the Demon king obtained a new title, Demon God!]
Tang Shaoyang wondered if Bronson acquired the same Slayer class as him. Or whether it was just merely a title. The reason Bronson became a spirit was because of his hate toward the knight profession. It started from Bronson's nature as a spirit, and now the undead acquired slayer titles.
"So is it similar to my Slayer Class, Bronson?" He asked the undead, but Bronson was still confused with his change. There was just too much information in his head.
'I don't know, Master. There is just too much in my head right now.'
Tang Shaoyang did not continue the discussion about the slayer. His focus is back to advancement. After upgrading three spirits to Archaic Spirits, he was left with ten Rank 6 Calamity and ten God Rank bodies.
Opening the list once more, his eyes fell on the lowest grade, Grade S Spirit.
Grade S Spirit: [Malki - The Bladefire Ant Emperor], [Yowe - The Undead Master Lancer], [Jet - The Abyss Raven]
He wanted to start from the bottom and eventually made all his spirit to Grade SSS Spirit as the lowest grade. Grade SSS Spirit was stronger than most Demi-God, and he was not sure how strong they were to the God Rank. For most of the fight, he used Mythical Spirit and above to fight the God Rank.
Opening his inventory menu, he checked the materials. There were three hundred and thirty-four Rank 3 Calamities, one hundred and twenty-one Rank 4 Calamities, and two hundred and thirty-nine Rank 5 Calamities. It was much less than he thought because he exchanged a lot for artifacts.
Tang Shaoyang took one Rank 3 Calamity and used it on Malki. He wanted to advance the three spirits into Grade S+ Spirit. There was no need to choose who first. The Rank 3 Calamity gave five percent progression for Grade S Spirit. He was relieved that he could use Rank 3 Calamity for the advancement, not totally useless.
He used sixty Rank 3 Calamities, and with that, he no longer had Grade S Spirit, but Grade S+ as the lowest rank. Not stopping he tried to use the Rank 3 Calamity for the Grade S+ Spirit. Hoping it could be used for the next advancement. He tried one to one of the Grade S+ Spirit.
"1.5%..." He muttered in a low voice, glad that Rank 3 Calamity has value for advancement. He was satisfied as long as it was not lower than one percent.
That meant Grade S+ required sixty-seven Rank 3 Calamity to advance to the next grade. With the remaining two hundred and seventy-four Rank 3 Calamities. He could get four Grade SS Spirit with the Rank 3 Calamities.
Maldros the Black Storm Dragonewt, Rowan the Abyss Storm Wolf, Doru the Obsidian Golem, and Malki the Bladefire Ant Emperor reached the Grade SS Spirit first. There was no new title for them.
Then he tested the Rank 4 Calamity for the Grade S+ Spirit. One Rank 4 Calamity worth five percent advancement. With a hundred and twenty-one Rank 4 Calamities, he advanced six Grade S+ Spirit to Grade SS Spirit. He still had five more Grade S+ Spirits.
He continued with the Rank 5 Calamity for Grade S+ Spirit. One Rank 5 Calamity gave ten percent. With fifty Rank 5 Calamities, his lowest grade spirit was Grade SS Spirit.
Looking at his Grade SS Spirit list and the materials in his inventory, he was unsure if he could advance them all to Grade SSS Spirit. With just one hundred and eighty-nine Rank 5 Calamities, ten Rank 6 Calamities, eleven Rank 7 Calamities, and one Rank 8 Calamity, it would not be enough.
One Rank 5 Calamity gave five percent progression for Grade SS Spirit. That meant he could only advance nine spirits to Grade SSS Spirit with his Rank 5 Calamity. There are seven remaining Grade SS Spirit. He had ten God Rank bodies, but he felt like it would be wasted to use them for Grade SS Spirit. He would rather use the remaining God Rank materials for Grade SSS Spirit to reach the Ascendant Spirit.
But he did not mind using the Rank 6 Calamity, and he tried it. One Rank 6 Calamity gave ten percent progression for Grade SS Spirit, and he ended up using the remaining ten to advance one Grade SS Spirit to Grade SSS Spirit.
There were still Rank 7 Calamity, but he did not want to use them on Grade SS Spirit. He wanted to use them for his Grade SSS Spirit. He used one Rank 7 Calamity for Grade SSS Spirit, and it gave seven percent progression.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, realizing that eleven Rank 7 Calamities were not enough for one Grade SSS Spirit to advance to Ascendant. He did not want to try the God Rank for Grade SSS Spirits. It was not worth it to use God Rank material for Grade SSS Spirit because he could get two more Mythical Spirits with the remaining ten God Rank bodies.
He sat at the ruin, thinking carefully while doing calculations. Alas, his brain was not that good to do the calculation which was the better decision. After a few minutes of silence, he decided to use the ten God Rank materials for Ascendant Spirit. He chose Feera and Aerelion.
[Congratulations! Feera the Inferno Chimera has advanced to Mythical Spirit!]
[Congratulations! Aerelion the Infernal Wyvern King has advanced to Mythical Spirit!]
After a quick and did not know whether he was right or not, he decided to halt the advancement for now. That was enough for advancement for today. He stood and stretched out.
Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with the advancement as he got rid of three ranks in his list. The lowest rank was now Grade SS Spirit. They should be stronger than Myth Rank, around Primordial Rank. That was high enough, even though it was still not enough for the current situation. He checked his spirit list for the last time, and he nodded satisfied.
Archaic Spirit: [Avyn - The Last Kankara'Xeo] [Vandir - The Death King] [Doombringer - Calamity Behemoth], [Zara - Goddess of Death] [Afi - The Primordial Urosa] [Baccara] [Karan - The Battle God], [Bronson - The Demonic Slayer], [Orlean - The Demon God]
Mythical Spirit: [Karoen - The Void Knight], [Feera - The Inferno Chimera], [Aerelion - The Infernal Wyvern King]
Ascendant Spirit: [Galeon - The Greater Demon]
Grade SSS Spirit: [Radiance - The Frostbringer] [Jovrick - The Fallen Knight], [Arkanos - Ice and Fire Blade] [Doru - The Obsidian Golem], [Maldros - The Black Storm Dragonewt], [Rowan - The Abyss Storm Wolf], [Malki - The Bladefire Ant Emperor], [Ronan - The Helion Wolf],[Hargug - The Helion Wolf], [Rokian - The Revenant], [Artras - The Revenant], [Argon - The Revenant]
Grade SS Spirit: [Muri - The Helion Cyclop], [Suri - The Helion Cyclop], [Zuri - The Elemental Cyclop], [Nuri - The Elemental Cyclop], [Yowe - The Undead Master Lancer], [Jet - The Abyss Raven]
"Are you done?" Avyn asked with the one of someone who got bored. They had been waiting for Tang Shaoyang to finish with the advancement for a while.
"For now, yes. Aren't you interested in the sub rank in the Archaic Spirit?" Tang Shaoyang asked.
That was the big discovery for the day that the Archaic Spirit had a sub-rank.
"If the Archaic Spirit had a sub-rank, does that mean God Rank also has its sub-rank?" That just came to his mind.
Archaic was the highest rank in the spirit, and it had its sub-rank. God Rank was the highest rank, so he thought it might have the sub rank to differentiate the God Rank.
"You will find it out as soon as you enter the God Realm," Vandir answered mysteriously.
Even though the skeleton did not know about the Archaic Spirit, he knew something about the God Rank. He wanted to ask them, but he knew the System would not allow him to cheat it through his spirit. His progression had not reached that level yet, so the System would restrict his spirits.
"Then let's focus on the trial first. We will ignore Amos for now and focus on hunting the Rank 6 Calamity and above. I want all my spirits at the Ascendant Spirit by the time Amos triggers the city defense."
