Chapter 82: Chapter 68: Building the Hero Altar, Digesting the Rewards

Shen Xing didn’t speak. Instead, he looked at the specific attributes of this group of Knights.

[Black Moon Knight]

[Level: 5]

[Potential: Elite ★]

[Attributes: Power 38, Spirit 26, Agility 34, Constitution 31]

[Skills: Black Moon Breathing Technique (The standard-issue breathing technique of the Black Moon Knight Order. It allows the user to channel the Power of Black Moon, enhancing their combat strength. It also increases personal stamina recovery speed and Abnormal Resistance by 25%. Furthermore, for every other Black Moon Knight simultaneously using this technique nearby, recovery speed and Abnormal Resistance are boosted by an additional 1%, stacking up to a maximum of 100%.)

Riding Mastery (Increases movement speed by 30% and adds an extra 20% to charge damage while mounted.)

Tidal Charge (When charging, the black moon begins to spin, creating a lunar tide that pulls nearby enemies to the front of the formation.)]

[Talent: None]

[Bonds - Black Moon Knight Order (Activated): When more than 10 Black Moon Knights are present, Poise +30 (The higher the poise, the lower the chance of being knocked down.)]

(Note: Though its former glory has fallen silent, the Black Moon is still my faith!)

...

"These attributes are a little insane."

Amazement flashed in Shen Xing’s eyes. It was the first time he’d ever seen an Elite One-Star Soldier Type with such a powerful template.

Three major skills and a Bonds ability, all of which could significantly enhance their team-fighting capabilities.

The most unique of them was the [Black Moon Breathing Technique], which could even increase recovery speed and Abnormal Resistance through coordination with other Black Moon Knights!

In other words, the more Black Moon Knights there were on the field, the stronger the unit became.

Moreover, Shen Xing had read on the forums that the most powerful aspect of breathing techniques wasn’t the attribute bonuses.

It was the application of Energy.

After mastering the basics of a breathing technique, one could channel all sorts of Energy from the world, drastically enhancing the power and range of their skills.

’Not bad. This Soldier Type is so strong, I definitely made the right choice.’

’In that case, I’ll pick one of the Knights to be a squad leader.’

Shen Xing’s gaze swept across the group. Pointing to the shortest Knight at the back of the formation, who was holding a Longsword, he said, "You. Step forward."

The Black Moon Knight froze for a moment, then stepped out of the formation, looking bewildered.

Shen Xing didn’t waste any words. He pulled two Elite Souls from his inventory and tossed them over.

The Black Moon Knight caught the Souls, seemingly sensing the power contained within.

This was something that could make them even stronger!

Beneath his faceplate, his mouth opened and closed before he managed to force out an incredibly hoarse voice, "Th... Thank you..."

Shen Xing chuckled at that, leaning back in his wheelchair to size him up. "So you can talk after all."

The Black Moon Knight opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but all that came from his throat was a series of hoarse gasps.

It seemed "thank you" was the extent of his vocabulary.

"Alright, go ahead and absorb them." Shen Xing didn’t want to make things difficult for these "black tin cans."

The sword-wielding Knight nodded solemnly, then slapped the two clumps of Soul into his chest, one after another.

VWOOM...

A powerful black energy erupted from the Knight’s body. A phantom of a black moon slowly materialized behind him as his aura began to climb steadily.

Under the envious gazes of the other Knights, he successfully advanced to Two-Star Potential, and his Attributes rose another notch.

However, as he absorbed the second Soul and prepared to push for Elite Three-Star in one go, his rising presence suddenly came to a halt. Even the black moon behind him dissipated in an instant.

This meant his second advancement had failed.

The Black Moon Knight dejectedly lowered his head, a look of frustration in his eyes.

Shen Xing didn’t say much, simply taking out another Elite Soul.

This time in the Foggy Void Realm, they had gotten a huge number of Soul Fragments to drop.

After splitting them evenly, everyone had received over thirty Elite Soul Fragments, which could be synthesized into three Elite Souls.

Shen Xing intended to use all of his as well, dedicating them entirely to improving his forces.

As the Black Moon Knight looked at the ball of light his Lord was offering him once again, his faint Green pupils trembled.

He then strode forward, knelt on one knee three meters from Shen Xing, and balled his right hand into a fist, performing a solemn salute.

The corners of Shen Xing’s mouth turned up slightly. He knew this meant the Knight had now pledged his complete allegiance to him.

"Continue. Show me your limits."

The Black Moon Knight nodded solemnly, then slapped the Soul into his body.

VWOOM...

This time, the breakthrough was somewhat different from before.

Along with a blinding flash of black light, the Knight’s body began to grow taller rapidly, and his battle armor underwent a complete transformation.
