From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 68 Now I feel much better (Please read on!)

You Ming sent the eleven vengeful ghosts into the unit editing tree, converting them all into level one ordinary units, namely [unorganized scattered soldiers].

However, only one headless vengeful ghost holding a spear remained in place, and this was the one You Ming was focusing on this time.

These are elite soldiers; if trained properly, they can definitely become your right-hand men.

You Ming immediately created a new level 1 elite unit slot, named it [Elite·Soul Slayer], and then made some attribute adjustments.

After the headless vengeful ghost was stuffed inside, its form immediately changed.

His lost head regenerated, his tattered armor transformed into a dark gray battle suit, his eyes regained their glimmer, he held a sharp spear, and a thin aura of malevolence swirled behind him.

Attack +11, Defense +3, Movement +11, Soul Essence +5.

Skill: Yin Soul Strike (Swings a weapon imbued with malevolent energy to attack, dealing moderate physical and yin attribute damage to a single target).

Passive Skill: Battle Spirit Takes Shape (After attacking the same target 3 times consecutively, your attack power increases by 5%, stacking up to 3 times)
Monthly stipend: 3 incense offerings.

The strength of elite units lies in the fact that they have a total of thirty attribute points at the first level.

Moreover, it not only has skills, but also passive abilities.

Even for a level 1 elite unit, he only allocated three points to defense. Since a level 1 unit respawns at level 1 and doesn't need to level up again, he didn't feel bad about dying, so he naturally focused on increasing attack and movement.

But you can't do that after level two.

Although the Divine Soldiers cannot die, their original level will be reset to zero after being killed, and they will have to level up again. Naturally, they should allocate more points to defense to avoid having to advance again after dying.

You Ming spent most of the day adjusting the promotion path for the elite template.

Looking at the [Elite Soul Soldier] before him, You Ming released a wisp of divine power from his fingertip. After this divine power entered the Soul Soldier's body, the Soul Soldier's body underwent another change.

Its deep armor was covered in evil patterns, with black soul threads visible around its surface. Its weapon had transformed into a long slashing blade, and red spiritual flames shone from its eye sockets.

Tier 2 unit: [Elite Black Fiend Guard].

This is the last cheating feature in the [Troop Editing] section: it allows you to force a promotion by consuming certain resources.

Since Youming is now a god, the simplest and easiest resource to obtain is naturally divine power.

The value of divine power is not low; a single wisp of divine power is enough to promote a level one elite soldier to a level two elite soldier.

This level 2 elite soldier actually has two skills, namely [Black Fiend Rotation] and [Sword Fiend Parry], as well as a passive skill called [Black Fiend Tempering], which increases damage by 3% for every 10% of health lost, stacking up to 5 times.

These abilities made You Ming envious.

He glanced at it and saw that it required five divine powers to advance from level two to level three.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's advance directly! With his current reserves of hundreds of divine powers per month, he can afford to spend that much.

In the blink of an eye, the level 2 [Black Fiend Guardian] became the level 3 [Nightmare Battle Flag Bearer].

The ghostly soldier's entire form had grown considerably larger, reaching eight feet in height. He was clad in dark iron armor and carried a soul-patterned battle banner on his back. As he moved, the banner billowed automatically, emitting a faint war cry. His face was partially obscured, making him both mysterious and powerful.

You Ming swallowed hard. Whether he's strong or not is another matter, but he's really handsome.

Or, shall we continue to advance our careers?
He glanced at it discreetly; it would take twenty points of divine power to advance from level three to level four.

"hiss……"

Despite boasting of his modest wealth, these twenty divine powers were still enough to make You Ming wince. But the feeling was similar to making in-game purchases; though painful, the irresistible sense of satisfaction...

"Recharge! I've already recharged the previous ones, and I'm just a little short of the rest. At worst, I'll just have to live frugally from now on."

You Ming's face scrunched up in a frown. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and made up his mind.

Therefore, after the twenty streams of divine power were exhausted, the Yin soldiers in front of them underwent another earth-shattering change.

It was twelve feet tall, its armor was a deep purplish-black, and its cloak flowed out like flames. Its face was covered by a black ghost mask, with only deep purple light emanating from its eyes.

Tier 4 Elite Unit: [Elite - Commander-in-Chief]!
Skills: [Severing the Formation and Killing Prison], [Netherworld Shadow Array], [Nightmare Soul Lock Slash], Passive: [Hundred Souls Command], for each Yin Soldier present, own damage increases by 2%, stacking up to 20%.

The dazzling appearance of the Tier 4 elite troops made Little Carp feel an itch to get to them.

He sensed that the combat power of a Level 4 soldier was comparable to that of mid-level and above officers in the City God's Army.

Although he hasn't actually compared them, he estimates they're about the same.

If it's already like this at level four, then it'll take off at level five!

However, it takes fifty strands of divine power to advance from level four to level five!

Rounding it up, it takes nearly a hundred strands of divine power to upgrade an elite soldier from level one to level five. That's just too outrageous.

Besides oneself, the City God, and the River God, what other deities could afford to support such a thing?

But things had already come to this point, and he was just one step away from giving up. He felt incredibly regretful whenever he thought about it.

It was as if an angel and a devil appeared in the little carp's heart.

The demon, in a seductive voice, kept persuading him: "Unexchanged divine power is just a string of numbers. Only when it is converted into combat power can it have a real purpose."

The angel on the other side nodded emphatically; "The demon is right."

The balance in You Ming's mind was completely overturned. He gritted his teeth, allocated fifty streams of divine power, and poured them all into the troop type editing panel.

The vengeful spirit's form changed drastically once again. The once smooth armor was now inlaid with bone fragments, and wisps of phosphorescent flames leaked out from the seams, as if it would shine forever.

In his hands were two eight-foot-long swords, their blades adorned with ghostly patterns that hummed on their own. Behind him, a dark wind howled like thunder, and countless complex, array-like patterns appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

In terms of physique, it seems that Level 5 is a bit thinner than Level 4.

But the overall feeling is more dangerous.

His long limbs gripped two broad, sharp swords, his back was slightly bent, and his eyes seemed to be constantly scanning the vital points of the human body, as if he might unleash a thunderous attack at any moment.

Each scale on its body has a special function, not only to resist damage, but also to cut through the air, making it faster.

Tier 5 Elite Unit: [Black Prison General]!
"call."

"That's comfortable now."

You Ming's tense heart relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at the [Black Prison General] as if he were looking at a beautiful figurine. He had finally upgraded this unit to the top level.

As for the other ordinary soldiers, he would leave them for training and promotion slowly, as he was unwilling to spend divine power to supply them.
