Within the Necromantic Space, to provide the Dark Warriors with a place for battle, Chen Yu built an arena expressly for combat.

However, there were usually no spectators here, only Dark Warriors endlessly fighting and bodies occasionally being dragged away.

Each time, one hundred Dark Warriors would commence battle in the arena, without any rules or restraints.

The only way to leave was to kill ten other Dark Warriors.

It appeared extremely cruel and savage, but for a Necromancer, this was merely a normal selection process and training for expendable soldiers.

Moreover, within the arena, there was a Magic Circle arranged by Chen Yu.

The souls of any Dark Warriors who died would be directly collected and then infused into new bodies for resurrection, while their corpses would be recycled into biomass for further use.

In a sense, it could not really be considered cruel.

Chen Yu had initially completed the construction of a Soul Network.

Now all the Dark Warriors had linked their souls to this rudimentary Soul Network, allowing them to gain combat experience from it.

But this initial Soul Network only operated one-way.

The Dark Warriors could only receive combat experience from the Soul Network.

Their memories, however, could only be uploaded to the Soul Network upon their death.

After excluding the unnecessary parts and only keeping those related to combat, these memories would converge at the core of the Soul Network, becoming a part of the combat knowledge other Dark Warriors could access.

Those who managed to successfully leave the arena would be gathered together and undergo conversion into one of three types of professions, following Chen Yu’s design.

Currently, Chen Yu had arranged three professions for the conversion of these Dark Warriors.

One of them involved fusing all the Dark Warriors’ souls and bodies together to create the Legion’s Soul.

This meant that the one is the all, and the all is one— an individual was the entire legion, and the entire legion was a singular entity.

This was a very special type of Undead which was incredibly difficult to arise naturally.

Even for a Necromancer, attempting to force a transformation was a troublesome matter.

It required an army that had been through countless battles and tempered to perfection, where every individual was elite.

In desperate situations, they would fight ceaselessly, each fallen warrior entrusting their conviction and hope to those who survived until the very last person remained, consolidating the entire army’s faith and soul into one entity, forging it in the deepest despair, melding them into one, becoming the Soul of Vengeance.

An army possessing such an unwavering conviction to fight until the last person, where every individual harbored a strong and noble will to battle that they could entrust the will and beliefs of each fallen comrade to the survivors, was exceptionally rare, which is why naturally formed Legion’s Souls were so scarce.

Necromancers, based on the principles of the natural birth of these Legion’s Souls, developed corresponding conversion techniques to create the Legion’s Souls to serve them.

Despite the process being troublesome and the requirements for the raw materials being extremely stringent, it was still preferable than waiting for the Legion’s Souls to form naturally.

As for the other two types, they were not as powerful as the Legion’s Soul, but relatively speaking, they were less troublesome to create and more convenient to utilize.

One was called the Death Refusal Knight, and the other was known as the Eternal Guard.

The Death Refusal Knight was quite unique among the vast array of potential profession conversions the Necromancers had expanded for the Dark Warriors.

In terms of combat prowess, the Death Refusal Knight was average, neither exceptional nor insignificant, not comparable to the immortal combat ability of the Undying Blade, nor was it a match for the unrivaled might of the Scythe of the Underworld God.

One can only say that without the special ability unique to Death Refusal Knights, this rather unremarkable type of troop would have long been eliminated by Necromancers.

What’s special about Death Refusal Knights is that when they assemble into an army, they possess the ability to refuse death.

A single Death Refusal Knight of course cannot activate such an ability, for their so-called refusal of death actually involves sharing Life Force with other Death Refusal Knights.

All Death Refusal Knights link their souls and lives together, forming a unique network.

Through this network, they can share Life Force and also connect the souls of other Death Refusal Knights, allowing all members of the legion to understand each other’s thoughts, unifying their forces as one.

Even if a Death Refusal Knight were killed, as long as the legion they belonged to was not destroyed, their soul could temporarily dwell within another Death Refusal Knight or return to their own or someone else’s body, resurrected with the shared Life Force from their comrades.

This is where the name Death Refusal Knight comes from, for when they gather together, they can refuse death.

Although it’s not a true defiance of death—if the legion is annihilated, the Death Refusal Knights will still die—this unique ability still makes Death Refusal Knights one of the main forces among the many troops under Necromancers’ command.

As for Eternal Guards, they are a defensive force, usually employed by resurrected Necromancers to guard their own tombs.

Of course, more often, they are used by other Necromancers to protect their lairs.

Their uniqueness lies in that all Eternal Guards entrust their souls to the places they guard.

As long as the locations they protect are not destroyed, they can continually regenerate from there, making them a very useful type of guardian. ƒreewebɳovel.com

However, after receiving assistance from Jounouchi Hiromi, Chen Yu made some minor adjustments to these three types of undead troops.

First, he had Jounouchi Hiromi equip all Death Refusal Knights with the Blood Qi Armor, a unique living armor created by the exclusive technique of the Blood School.

This Blood Qi Armor is a special type of undead creature cultivated by Necromancers of the Blood School using blood.

They are somewhat similar to slimes, having no fixed shape and, of course, no specific weaknesses.

Blood Qi Armor coexists with other undead creatures parasitically, drawing small amounts of blood from their hosts to maintain life.

When needed by the host, it can form a sturdy armor on the surface of the host’s body, strong enough to resist attacks from Expert Extraordinaires.

As the armor is a living thing, it can quickly recover and regenerate even if damaged, so long as there is a blood supply.

Moreover, it can absorb external blood to nourish the host, heal wounds, and restore Life.

With various Blood Spells from Necromancers of the Blood School, such armor can significantly increase the combat endurance of the undead armies under Blood School Necromancers by more than twenty percent.

While Chen Yu is not skilled in Blood Spells, his wife, Jounouchi Hiromi, is.

She is the Legendary Class of the Blood School known as the Crimson Empress, and with her help, the power of these Blood Qi Armors will only be stronger.
