Chapter 125: Successful Soul Swap
Time was not long, the corpse soldier stood up, danced with his body, a surprised look. But obviously still uncoordinated, stumbled a bit, lightly swung his fists, and actually punched a hole in a nearby grave, showing an exceptionally strong physique.
"What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable?" Guo Fei asked anxiously, fearing that Tianhunzi was playing tricks.
"Master, I feel much stronger now. This body is very resilient and the internal power has increased greatly." The undead soldier said with joy.
Guo Fei nodded and instantly stored it in the military symbol space, finding that it was still under his control as before, so he felt at ease.
"Go ahead!" Guo Fei nodded and let Tianhunzi pick the best corpse to replace the two ghost soldiers of the current two teams.
It seems that the Soul Transference Technique is quite energy-consuming, and Tianhunzi needs to rest for two hours after using it three times to absorb the yin energy to recover his spiritual energy. However, in Guo Fei's opinion, this old ghost is taking advantage of the situation to restore his own cultivation. Therefore, he replaced the bodies of all the ghost soldiers in the Giant Spirit and Evil Spirit War Teams, which took a total of three days.
There were eight more corpses left in the finished product. Guo Fei smiled at Tian Hunzi and said, "I think you've really made an effort today, so choose one for yourself!"
"I don't want it, I want the one inside the main tomb." Tianhunzi pointed to a stone wall behind him and said: "Where is the core of the graveyard, there should be an excellent corpse, a dead spirit prepared by the death spirit master for himself, I'll take it."
"Old ghost, you're indeed cunning enough to have paired up the corpse soldiers before speaking out. Actually, you didn't have to, since Young Master agreed with you, he wouldn't be so stingy."
"Hmph!" Tianhunzi smiled slightly and didn't say a word, obviously not believing Guo Fei.
"Boom!" Under the command of Tianhunzi, the captain of the Giant Spirit War Team, his body emitted a silver-white glow, and the long spear in his hand suddenly struck the stone wall. The gray aura on the spear flashed, and with one strike, it drilled a hole in the stone wall. Several consecutive strikes followed, and then he struck again, causing the stone wall to collapse with a loud crash.
"Hiss!" A bright silver light flashed, and a corpse suddenly darted out of the stone cave. This corpse was about 1.8 meters tall, with its entire body shining with a bright silver light. Its face had a yellowish tint, almost like normal human skin. The whole body was well-proportioned and robust, a standard handsome man.
After it rushed out, its two hands were bent into claws and fiercely scratched towards Guo Fei.
"Give it to me!" Tianhunzi's body flashed, and he suddenly rushed into the skull of this corpse. Tianhunzi's body was able to reach the level of a ghost king, but the soul inside this corpse was not weak either. It persisted for half an hour before being swallowed by Tianhunzi, whose body was then controlled by him.
"Haha! The corpse puppet refined by a powerful Golden Core cultivator is indeed a masterpiece!" Tianhunzi opened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly. Although the Ghost King's soul body had considerable attacking power, who wouldn't want to have a strong physical body? However, the stronger one's soul body was, the more powerful the corpse puppet needed to be in order to complement each other perfectly; otherwise, it would be better to just appear as a soul body itself. That's why many powerful ghost cultivators appeared as soul bodies, but hadn't found suitable corpse puppets yet. Clearly, this corpse puppet greatly increased Tianhunzi's strength, which was why he became excited.
Kuo Fei was taken aback. Earlier, when Tian Hunzi dealt with him, he didn't use the soul body absorption method to deal with his corpse soldiers. Now that he can use this method to deal with the corpse puppets, Kuo Fei is filled with doubts. Kuo Fei immediately raised his questions.
"This is different, your corpse soldier is a ghostly body, unless the soul is moved with the Soul Transfer Great Method, if I enter and devour, not only will it be impossible to devour, but there's also a chance of being trapped inside its body. The ghostly body doesn't have the so-called 'soul palace' like the human body does, the soul and energy are gathered together, the Soul Transfer Great Method can move the energy along with the soul. On the other hand, corpse puppets are different, they're made using secret methods, preserving the soul palace, allowing the soul to enter. However, your ghost soldier will transform back into a ghostly body after entering, and without the Soul Transfer Great Method, it's impossible for the soul to leave the body forever." Tianhunzi explained.
"Tianhunzi, you have obtained a physical body, how will you enter the Skull Staff from now on? You can't walk around the mainland in this state, can you?" Guo Fei thought to himself.
"As soon as the soul enters a suitable body, it must be nurtured day and night to adapt. Once I leave this body, it will quickly decay and go to waste. You don't want me to leave and waste such a good puppet, do you?" Tianhunzi said anxiously.
Guo Fei calmed down and knew what he said was true. The book "War Ghost Breeding Technique" had mentioned that once a corpse puppet was driven by a war ghost, it would be difficult to use again. The talisman inside would be destroyed, and only by constantly absorbing energy with the soul body could it be nurtured without being damaged. Otherwise, it would be ruined.
"In that case, don't resist, I'll try to put you in a space." Guo Fei investigated and found that Tianhunzi could also transform into a corpse soldier at this time. With a flick of his hand, he stored it in the space of a corpse soldier.
"Boom!" A surge of cold energy poured into Tiān Hún Zǐ's body, causing him to suddenly feel great joy. His cultivation instantly rose to that of a Ghost King, and after the increase, he suddenly understood many things.
"So that's how you increase your cultivation!" Tianhunzi was indeed a person with extraordinary insight, and after following Guo Fei for so long, he had actually seen through the subtleties of Guo Fei's soldier symbol space in the instant he turned into an undead soldier.
"Not bad, you've become my soldier. You can enhance your cultivation through slaughter, but I'm giving you this great gift, from now on, you'll have to listen to my orders. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're trapped inside forever." Guo Fei's divine thoughts flowed as he smiled and said.
Tianhunzi's face changed, wanting to move his soul out of this shell, but suddenly found that he had become the same as Guo Fei's other corpse soldiers, merging with the corpse and becoming a ghost demon. If he wanted to get out, he would have to use the Soul Transfer Technique to enter another body, and even this coffin couldn't be escaped from. His body seemed to be trapped in space, not listening to his commands, and the energy inside him also seemed to be out of control. Suddenly, he realized that he had been deceived by Guo Fei.
Guo Fei smiled, once he agreed to be transformed into his own soldier symbol space for the first time, it would be difficult for him to get rid of it.
Guo Fei once again took out the Tian Hunzi, whose face was filled with a faint anger and helplessness, mixed with an inexplicable fear. At the same time, he was also thinking of a good plan.
"Go take a look!" Guo Fei glanced at the cracked stone wall, inside was misty and seemed unusual, he waved his hand to the two teams.
Tianhunzi rode his horse forward and rushed in.
"Master! Can we also possess a corpse?" The two battle ghosts timidly approached Guo Fei and said.
Guo Fei took a look at the two ghostly soul guards, nodded, and transformed them into corpse soldiers. Their combat power might increase a bit. Currently, they are only at the ghost guard level, and their scouting effect is not good either. They don't dare to go out on sunny days. After transforming into corpse soldiers, they might become ghost generals. Their combat power will be stronger.
Two battle ghosts nodded at Guo Fei, and in an instant they pounced on the two corpses on the ground. In an instant, they stood up, with a look of joy on their faces. Guo Fei waved his hand, and a gray aura flowed into their bodies, transforming them into corpse soldiers. The two battle ghosts' bodies suddenly burst out with a gray aura, and in an instant they reached the middle level of ghost generals, surpassing the cultivation of the captain of the Giant Spirit Battle Team, but without the skills of a second-level soldier, and instead having abilities inferior to those of the team captain.
"Not bad, I've decided to reorganize the Earth Spirit Battle Team. The two of you will be the captain and vice-captain for now. Once we recruit more undead soldiers later on, they'll become your subordinates. For now, follow the Giant Spirit Battle Team and learn the Gale Gun technique well. I'll have Hu Xiaoyue give you the jade slips for the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array to practice."
"Thank you, master!" The two corpse soldiers exclaimed in unison.
