Chapter 3 Ten Thousand Soul Flags
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming communicated with the Myriad Soul Banner, wanting to investigate it carefully.
The previous battle was so intense that he dared not be distracted.
Now that the battle is basically over, it's natural to examine your cheat system.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Accompanied by a series of mournful howls, an incomparably fierce will surged directly into Qin Ming's sea of consciousness.
Qin Ming's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
The sounds of battle cries and roars echoed throughout his mind, as the fierce and tyrannical wills of hundreds of monsters, including mutated mantis shrimps and armored giant crabs, clashed repeatedly with Qin Ming's will.
Malevolent energy? Backlash?
A thought flashed through Qin Ming's mind, and the Myriad Soul Banner in his sea of consciousness swayed slightly, revealing the secret patterns on its tattered surface.
The already wailing monster's soul suffered even more.
Once you've entered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, do you still dare to resist?
"You all better stay put!"
Having just slaughtered his way across the battlefield, and with his soul fused with the original body's will and greatly strengthened, under the blessing of the Myriad Soul Banner, his consciousness directly crushed those roaring wills into dust.
The monster souls let out a mournful howl and retreated into the depths of the Myriad Soul Banner.
A message also came from within the Myriad Souls Banner, which made Qin Ming's eyes light up.
This information was none other than adjusting the status of the Myriad Soul Banner into a panel based on one's own understanding.
This isn't some kind of system; it's just something that allows Qin Ming to understand the Myriad Soul Banner more clearly and intuitively.
You can modify it at any time if you want.
【Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Tier 0】
[Banner Master: Qin Ming (Advanced Student, Junior Warrior-level Mentalist)]
[Souls: 226/100000 (Beast Soldiers 223, Beast Generals 3)]
[Main Soul: 0/1]
[Flesh Essence: 0/100000]
The panel information is very simple, only roughly showing the situation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Tier 0 refers to the level of the Myriad Souls Banner.
In the world of Swallowed Star, weapons are classified into ordinary weapons according to their level, and then into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, up to Tier 6.
Above that are heavy treasures, top-tier heavy treasures, supreme treasures, and so on.
According to the information from the Myriad Soul Banner, if one devours the flesh, blood, and souls of 1 apprentice-level lives, integrates them with their bones, flesh, blood, and souls, and has a planetary-level main soul guarding it, one can advance to the first rank.
Its power is even greater.
Of course, this is just a rough estimate.
The exact amount will fluctuate depending on the strength of the life-devouring ability.
For example, devouring the flesh and blood of a high-level lord-class monster is definitely more effective than devouring a low-level beast soldier.
The souls captured by the banner can directly attack the souls of enemies, or they can attach themselves to weapons or even corpses to attack.
Alternatively, it can be refined into a pure soul essence to strengthen and repair itself and the soul within the Myriad Soul Banner, and can also serve as the reserve energy for the Myriad Soul Banner.
As for the corpses, their flesh and bones can be used to strengthen the Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself, or they can serve as flesh puppets to directly participate in battle.
It can also be refined into pure flesh and blood essence to strengthen and repair itself and the flesh and blood puppet body, and can also serve as a reserve of energy.
This series of operations utilizes both the soul and the flesh to the fullest extent.
"Advanced student, junior warrior-level mentalist? I've become a mentalist? No wonder it's called the Myriad Soul Banner."
Qin Ming thought to himself, the original owner of this body was already a senior student at the top military academy in Jiangnan, but becoming a mentalist was definitely exciting.
On Earth, this is an existence that is even more powerful and rarer than martial artists.
Consciousness entered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The seemingly ordinary Ten Thousand Souls Banner contains a hazy, gray space where the souls of over two hundred monsters howl and roar, emitting black smoke.
With a thought, the low-level beast general-level armored giant crab, which had been hiding in a corner of the banner, floated over.
Its soul was as enormous and ferocious as its physical body, only now it was transparent, and its eyes were filled with fear as it looked at Qin Ming.
Standing before the ten-meter-long armored giant crab, Qin Ming felt no fear whatsoever, but rather was filled with excitement.
Encountering a tiger in the wild would frighten any normal person.
But what if it's a zoo?
Especially since you're holding the reins, controlling its life and death.
Even if a Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared in front of you, you would only think that it was "good-looking".
There is no fear in that.
The soul controlling the armored giant crab raised its giant pincers and made two casual movements. Qin Ming then looked at the other monster souls not far away and tried them one by one.
As expected, they were all easily under control.
However, Qin Ming also discovered that he could only control six heads precisely; any more than that would make perfect operation impossible.
For example, although he can control all the monsters' souls in an instant, he can only designate one target and make them attack autonomously.
"Not bad. I wonder what level of impact two hundred or so monster souls could achieve if they attacked simultaneously?"
While secretly pleased with himself, Qin Ming then tried out another function of the Myriad Soul Banner.
Refine!
The souls within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls are transformed into the pure essence of the soul.
With a thought, the secret patterns on the Myriad Souls Banner flickered.
The soul of the low-level beast soldier bone shrimp chosen by Qin Ming was crushed as if by a millstone, instantly turning into countless tiny fragments, which eventually condensed into rhomboid crystals the size of rice grains.
Qin Ming felt a warm current emanating from the rhombus-shaped crystal, and his soul felt as if it had taken a super tonic, greatly invigorating him.
The fatigue from the continuous battles was completely swept away.
"My soul is too weak. It would take a whole day to digest the soul of a low-level beast soldier. I just don't know what level I can reach after the enhancement is completed."
How many spirit stones are needed to upgrade me to an intermediate warrior-level mentalist?
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming controlled the crystal formed from his soul's origin to fly into the monster horde.
The surrounding monsters immediately stirred and became eager, as if the essence of the soul was of great benefit to them.
However, under Qin Ming's intimidation, they dared not snatch or devour it, and could only let out low growls.
"That's more like it."
Throw the soul crystal into the monster horde.
Immediately, all the monster souls scrambled for it, and the monster that ultimately devoured the soul's essence had a significantly stronger aura, and its illusory, transparent body became more solid.
Just as Qin Ming was about to try something again, he heard a voice in his ear.
"Qin Ming, you've been relieved. Not bad, performing so well on your first battlefield experience. No wonder you're a top student from the best military academy in Jiangnan."
Inside the fortress, Jia Hong walked over and smiled at Qin Ming.
"At first, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. My hands are still shaking now."
I'd only ever seen beast tides in textbooks and videos before, but only when you actually face one can you truly understand its terror.
As his consciousness returned to his body, Qin Ming shook his head.
Perhaps it was because he was born with a strong heart and had integrated the memories of his predecessor, but he quickly adapted to the battlefield, though fear was still unavoidable.
"Hahaha, a beast tide? This can hardly be called a beast tide. At most, it's just a daily impact from sea monsters. There are only a few hundred thousand monsters involved in the attack."
The base is not operational.
"You'll see when the real beast tide breaks out; there will be hundreds of millions, or even more, of monsters! It wouldn't be surprising to see multiple Lord-level monsters, or even King-level monsters."
A burly man, over 1.9 meters tall, carrying a machine gun, walked over and said with a smile.
"Daily shocks?"
Qin Ming's eyes widened. The overwhelming monsters couldn't even be considered a beast tide.
"Don't listen to him, it's not that exaggerated. This can be considered a small-scale impact. If a large-scale beast tide really breaks out, our laser cannons and War God level experts are not to be trifled with."
Zhang Heng, what are you bragging about?
Who was it that cried and screamed in terror the first time they went to the battlefield?
Jia Hong glanced at the burly man.
"I understand, squad leader. The monster tide outside has receded. Should we go down and help clean up the monster corpses?"
Qin Ming looked down from the fortress toward the base gate.
As the beast tide receded, the base gates slowly opened, and a large number of engineering machines poured out to begin processing the enormous monster corpses on the battlefield.
