Chapter 1675 - 3: The Truth of the Prophecy (Part 2)
In a silent, unmanned corner, Yadun gently pressed his finger on the ruined symbol of the Holy Hall on his arm, murmuring something to himself.
Behind him, a female Phantom Spirit walked slowly, giving him a hug from behind.
"Yadun, you’re here."
The female Phantom Spirit was Sarah, and the unique communication method of the Phantom Spirit Clan made their conversation highly efficient. Without a static language translation system, ordinary people would perceive them as having a deeply harmonious "silent exchange," leaving many bewildered and unable to understand the expression’s meaning.
The two parted quickly after a brief touch; the Phantom Spirit Clan’s expression of feelings is direct and brief, without incessant lingering.
"Yadun, what did the Lord of the Stars say to you? What are His plans next, and what should we do?"
Sarah raised her questions, which was another main reason she came to find Yadun.
Everyone on this spaceship had been resting for several days. The new time calculation method had been informed to them by the ship’s intelligent system upon their arrival, and now they gradually adapted to the environment here.
This group of Phantom Spirits carried deep-seated vengeance, and after their rest, they couldn’t idle away and began to ponder how to take revenge on the Desert Worms.
Of course, relying solely on their meager strength was impossible; seeking revenge would likely only result in their own downfall.
Nevertheless, they had now found themselves a formidable Boss, whose presence incited their intrigue towards the Insect Race. Not long after resting, they were eager to move.
Sarah knew that Yadun had privately listened to the teachings of the Lord of the Stars and must be clear about the upcoming plans.
As she expected, Yadun revealed the plans Zhang Xiaoman had arranged for the future.
"Ah, Sarah, I was just about to tell you, Lord Jixing believes our current strength is too weak to confront the Desert Worms, so He has granted us new strength to earn more contribution and glory in the upcoming war against the Insect Race."
As Yadun spoke these words, his expression gradually turned excited. Today he had been summoned by Ji Xing and returned not long ago, having received a significant amount of benefits, leaving him somewhat incredulous even now.
"New strength? What is it? Could it be related to Spiritual Energy?"
After hearing his words, Sarah appeared quite hopeful. Previously, their group had gathered and speculated about Lord Jixing’s upcoming plan. However, they never imagined the other side could enhance their strength.
"Yes, it’s Spiritual Energy! No, to be precise, it’s Dark Spiritual Power!"
Yadun nodded in affirmation.
Now, after Ziwei’s explanation, they had a new understanding of the power they possessed, realizing that within the Star Alliance, this special and mysterious ability was called Dark Spiritual Power, which is the basis of all advanced technology and power.
"Star Lord mentioned that although we possess Dark Spiritual Power, our usage of it is still quite inadequate. He has provided me with a unique technique for utilizing Dark Spiritual Power, which He created recently, specifically tailored for our current clan’s situation. Once we complete this training, our warriors will at least become heroes capable of facing hundreds!"
Yadun’s eyes were filled with anticipation; being able to bravely kill the Insect Race was the ability he and countless Phantom Spirits had longed for, and Star Lord’s strengthening of this power hit the hearts of these people, making them immensely excited.
Immediately, Yadun gathered other Phantom Spirits and shared with them the Dark Spiritual Power enhancement plan Zhang Xiaoman had provided.
The Hail Spaceship had a dedicated training ground. Although someone like Ziwei, a Control Level powerhouse, clearly couldn’t use it due to her overwhelming strength, if the training subjects were low-level Dark Spirits like Yadun, the training intensity here sufficed, allowing at least Middle Level Enlightenment Dark Spirits to use it.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t deceive them. The special cultivation technique handed over to Yadun was indeed a modified version of a technique originating from a planet named El Star in the Second Universe, where the residents had highly similar appearances and physical structures to Phantom Spirits. Zhang Xiaoman leveraged his formidable power to modify it, making it more suitable for Phantom Spirit cultivation.
He also prepared several fast-track methods to increase the upper limit of Dark Spiritual Power, as well as several famed low-level, high-power skills within the Dark Star Alliance.
With these capabilities added, the strength of these Phantom Spirits would be significantly enhanced in a short period, although this is insignificant to the endlessly vast Insect Race. Nonetheless, it provided hope for these Phantom Spirits to persist, making it a necessary means of internal unity to some degree.
Zhang Xiaoman found that the Phantom Spirit Clan had quite notable talent in Dark Spiritual Power. After all, being able to produce a substantial number of Dark Spirits immediately after the recovery of Spiritual Energy, their racial talents wouldn’t be lacking.
The Phantom Spirit Star System is vast. To conquer it with just one spaceship and those Awakener from the Star Alliance surely wouldn’t suffice. Moreover, the Star Alliance itself is at a critical juncture of Great Fusion, often suffering from Alien Species’ invasions, possibly without the resources to care for Phantom Spirit Star.
Thus, if resistance is needed in the end, the power of these Phantom Spirits is indispensable.
Don’t be deceived by the mere dozens of them here; Zhang Xiaoman is confident that in this whole Star Domain, there are surely many surviving Phantom Spirits. If they are all gathered together, their strength must not be overlooked.
For the upcoming period, Yadun and other Phantom Spirits immersed themselves in daily training within the Hail Spaceship’s grounds, their firm determination manifesting at that moment. Bearing the deep-seated vengeance of the Blood Sea, none of them called for exhaustion. Not only the warriors with Dark Spiritual Power, but even ordinary Phantom Spirit also joined the training.
These ordinary Phantom Spirits, although they hadn’t mastered Dark Spiritual Power, could still fight.
Just like in the Second Universe, many mercenaries aren’t Dark Spirits, yet they can execute various dangerous tasks in the universe, kill formidable Star Beasts, and exchange them for huge task rewards.
The Dark Star Alliance had long charted a full path for ordinary people’s combat capacity, and Zhang Xiaoman only needed to replicate the training methods there without having to worry personally.
Those who hadn’t awakened to Dark Spiritual Power initially hadn’t thought that the Lord of the Stars also prepared a way to enhance their strength. Their training differed from that of Dark Spirits since they didn’t possess Dark Spiritual Power and didn’t require cultivation techniques and skills. Instead, they needed to become familiar with the Insect Race’s battle modes and how to utilize powerful Dark Spiritual Artifacts.
As ordinary people, the most reliable weapon to counter Dark Spirits is the Dark Spiritual Artifact capable of triggering Dark Spirit attacks.
Before returning from the Second Universe, Zhang Xiaoman purchased a large batch of weaponry and equipment. Though the number of high-level goods was not many, there was plenty of low-level material and equipment usable by ordinary mercenaries. Now, they finally served their purpose, helping to arm these Phantom Spirits.
Most of these weapons and equipment were crafted from Level 1 materials, and the energy source driving Dark Spirit power attacks was the hard currency Spirit Crystal of the Dark Star Alliance. To enhance killing efficiency, besides handing out a certain amount of Spirit Crystals to everyone, Zhang Xiaoman also prepared several Spirit Stones from the Divine Ancient World, offering higher power attack methods that might serve as critical tools at some point.
