“Everyone, begin upgrading!”
When all the avatars were in position, Advanced Puppet Avatar 1 ordered.
Ssssss——
Rumble—
Immediately, the avatars started moving.
The scene of them tearing the upgrade scrolls and consuming pills was spectacular.
Soon, eleven upgrade golden beams landed.
Bathing in the sunlight, Lin Ye’s avatars’ battle aura, physical strength, breathing techniques, mastery over the Mechanical Beast Sect’s three secret manuals, puppet magic…
With the huge amount of resources provided, they were all leveling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3 → Level 4…
Rumble!!
They soon stepped into Class 5, which was the first time when they needed to unlock the Awakening Chains.
According to the rules of this world, the more energy one obtains and the more potential one had, the more awakened chains one would be able to unlock.
When Lin Ye broke through for the first time, his main body’s foundation was too strong.
At the very least, he unlocked 36,500 of them. He was a hundred times more powerful than peerless geniuses of the same class.
It was precisely because of this that he could look down proudly upon those of the same realm, and even kill enemies of a higher realm like dogs.
Unfortunately, the limit of a beginner Puppet Avatar was that of an ordinary peerless genius.
Therefore, the nine beginner Avatar Puppets only unlocked 365 Awakening Chains.
The other two advanced Avatar Puppets were much stronger, more than ten times stronger than peerless geniuses, unlocking 3,650 Awakening Chains.
“Why not a hundred times?” Lin Ye frowned.
One had to know that when it came to rewards, 100 beginner Avatar Puppets could only be exchanged for 1 advanced Avatar Puppet.
After investigating, Lin Ye immediately shut his mouth when he saw the words ‘substitute death’.
“Upgrade, continue upgrading!!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another large amount of upgrade golden light fell.
Level 5 → Level 6 → Level 7…
Their physical body, battle aura, and divine sense had all reached Class 7.
Bang!
At the same time, it was time to unlock the Awakening Chains again.
The effect was the same as the first time. Beginner Avatar Puppets’ limit was the same as that of ordinary peerless geniuses, unlocking 365 of them.
Adding up, they each unlocked 730 awakening chains.
The advanced Avatar Puppets were stronger. They each unlocked 3,650 of them, totaling 7,300.
Although it was far inferior to his 73,000.
However, for ordinary people, even 730 of his beginner Avatar Puppets were terrifying existences.
In addition to all kinds of secret techniques, talent…
Wait, f*ck, talent!!!
Lin Ye was dumbfounded.
Only then did he remember that all his Avatar Puppets were just skin.
Currently, the offensive methods that they could use together were the Twelve Zodiac Battle Aura and Divine Sense.
There was also the God Killing Stab that he had secretly learned from the evil spirits.
As for the Universal Pull, Heart’s Web, Hint, Listening Ear, and other talents, they could all only be used by his main body.
“Without the supplement of my talent, my combat power will be reduced by at least half…” Lin Ye gritted his teeth.
After some thought, he made up his mind.
In the beginning, he obtained 99 talent fragments from the bug.
Other than giving them to the powerhouses of his core team, he still had 91 of them.
He could replenish each avatar with one first.
Then, he could use his Revision talent to repair the talents in his avatars’ body using Enlightenment Energy.
However, the consumption was too exaggerated.
Especially for a top-tier talent like Hint, it would take a lot to restore it to its full level.
“Forget it, let’s focus on the two advanced Avatar Puppets first!”
With that, Lin Ye took out 100 bottles of Enlightenment Energy from the Civilization Archive’s resource page.
1,000 drops per bottle. 100 bottles meant 100,000 drops of Enlightenment Energy.
Whistle—-
The eyes of the main body flashed slightly. The power of his divine sense easily knocked the bottle stopper away. Streaks of liquid energy that emitted a hazy glow transformed into hundreds of streams of water that entered the two advanced avatar puppets.
Rumble!!!
Repairing and upgrading at all costs, his Hint talent was being restored at a very quick pace in his avatar.
1% → 4% → 9%… 89% → 96% → 100%!
Whoosh—
Brilliant three-colored divine light exploded, and the Hint talent of the advanced avatar on the left was completely restored.
“F*ck, this is a bottomless pit!!”
Although his avatar had obtained another new talent, 100,000 enlightenment energy was used up just like that.
This was too insane!!!
That was 100,000…
The highest reward for clearing the Reflection Hall of the four sacred halls was only 10,000.
Other than him, who else could afford to spend such an amount?
And this was only the amount used to recover the talent to its original state. It was currently still Level 1.
When he returned to his territory, he still needed to spend millions of Zombie Souls to upgrade it to Level 22.
Of course, to Lin Ye, Zombie Souls was a small matter. It was mainly about enlightenment energy.
Previously, he had given tens of thousands of contribution points to each of his family members. In the Mechanical Beast Sect, he had even given a lot of them to his main force. He had also given away some of the contribution points he had obtained from his territory. In addition, he usually drank enlightenment energy like drinking water.
He was originally rewarded with 1,000,000 of it with his 100xReward. After deducting the 100,000 he had just spent, he only had 570,000 left.
“It’s not enough!”
“What a scam. The Revision talent level is still not enough to directly repair the talent…”
“No matter what, I’m still too poor!!”
“Screw the Reflection Hall! A bunch of stingy people. Don’t they know how to reward me with 100,000 or 1,000,000? With my 100xReward, that would be more appropriate. What’s the point of giving 10,000 or so? It’s too trashy!”
“I hope that the second Four Sacred Halls will descend in three days. Don’t disappoint me again!”
As he ridiculed, sparks flashed through Lin Ye’s divine sense as he quickly calculated the total enlightenment energy he needed.
He could forget about the top-tier talents.
He only had 570,000. At most, he could repair four to five top-tier talents. It did not mean much.
As for advanced talents, he had Heart’s Web, Spiritual Illusion, Palm Lightning, Universal Pull, Spirit Vehicle…
The repair costs were not low.
Therefore, it was definitely impossible for him to complete the restoration in all 11 avatars.
A fragment split from his main body required the same amount of enlightenment energy to repair.
It would cost twice as much. This amount of resources was not enough.
After some thought, Lin Ye made a decision.
He would nurture his advanced Avatar Puppets first and have them primarily have the Hint talent, with the other high-level talents secondary.
As for the choice of which advanced talents to choose…
“Heart’s Web strengthens the five senses. Combined with Hint, it is the strongest combination of the support class. I must have it.”
Lin Ye decided to experiment on the advanced Avatar Puppet on the left.
He crazily smashed the enlightenment energy.
Including the restoration of his main body, he had spent 60,000, which was 30,000 each time.
It was acceptable.
“Secondly, Spiritual Illusion. I want this too. Now that my Illusion Heart has reached Level 8, its prowess has increased by eight times. The strength of my high-grade spiritual illusion is no different from a top talent. The cost-performance ratio is extremely high.”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The upgrade golden light shone.
This time, it was less than the Heart’s Web. Perhaps it was because of its quality.
The Heart’s Web was a high-grade one, while the illusion was a mid-grade one. It consumed 40,000 points of enlightenment energy.
“After that, Palm Lightning… Well, without innate Yang energy, I can’t use the Five Yang Lightning. Forget it, this Pass!”
“Universal Pull and Spirit Vehicle. These two seem to be suitable. I want them!”
After making up his mind, Lin Ye chose four advanced talents, which consumed a total of 180,000 Enlightenment Energy.
In other words…
Including the Hint talent from before, forging an advanced Avatar Puppet with top combat power would cost at least 280,000.
Two meant 560,000!
