Lin Feng's gaze quickly swept over the first few lines, pausing briefly at "Refined Edge," and then a smile curved his lips.

I was just regretting adding the 10,000 terracotta warrior limit to the wrong unit type, but this effect has completely covered everything, upgrading all weakened units to their normal form.

The 10,000 slots that were mistakenly added earlier were not wasted; instead, they gave him access to more elite units after the upgrade.

Then he saw "an army of ten thousand chariots".

He counted the zeros three times: four hundred thousand, one hundred thousand. After confirming he hadn't misread it, he finally couldn't suppress a smile.

The information that followed was equally significant. The phrase "souls return to the three paths" made him take a closer look. It meant that the Qin soldiers, transformed from natives, would not actually die in battle. After dying three times, they could be fully revived after ten days of retraining.

Although awakened individuals can only be resurrected once, and their level is locked at level 10 after resurrection, their lives are saved. They can then be assigned to farming or logistics, which is equivalent to a safe retirement.

The information contained in the "Imperial Edict to Return the Soul" was far greater than what he had seen at first glance.

He already knew from the memory crystal that there were other worlds beyond Blue Star, and this effect provided new evidence.

The words "beginner-level artifact" stirred something within him, proving that there were indeed higher levels above the gold-tier equipment.

He silently ranked them in his mind: above gold were divine artifacts, and the apostles he knew were at least level 50, while the gods were at least level 60.

Gold-tier equipment is not uncommon among level 40 awakened individuals. There might be a tier between gold and divine artifacts, but we don't have enough information right now, so we'll have to leave it for now.

The gaze continued downwards, stopping at the line "Awakening of Destiny".

Faced with unknown changes, he had no clue what to do and could only hope it was a good thing.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked down to the bottom, where the upgrade requirements line lay quietly, still bearing those seven words: Heart of the Ancient Builder.

Lin Feng stared at the seven characters for three seconds, then sighed silently and muttered under his breath, "Why does everyone want it? The air force base wants it, the Great Wall wants it, the Terracotta Army wants it, are you all lining up here?"

After he finished sighing, he didn't think any further. He filled all the available recruitment slots in the Great Qin Elite Camp, closed the interface, pushed off with his feet, and flew into the air towards the training ground.

The wind brushed past my ears, and in the darkness, I could faintly hear a deep dragon's roar coming from the direction of the West Gate, as if confirming that it had not been forgotten.

...

Lin Feng flew northeast to the military training ground.

The torches on the drill ground were already lit, and the ground was covered with newly compacted yellow soil, which felt firm and flat underfoot.

More than 5,000 elite Qin soldiers were arranged in five square formations, each with more than 1,000 men.

The black armor gleamed with a dark luster in the firelight; the halberd rested on the ground, the Qin crossbow on his back, silent as iron.

At the front of the army formation, Meng Yi stood at the very front, his halberd planted firmly on the ground, followed by Bai Yi through Bai Liu.

The six people stood in a line, backs straight, eyes looking straight ahead.

The armor was still covered in dust from the previous night, indicating that they had rushed here immediately after receiving orders.

Lin Feng landed on the reviewing stand, his boots making a steady sound as they stepped on the wooden planks.

Seeing Lin Feng fall from the sky, Meng Yi pressed his right fist to his chest and said in a steady and deep voice, "Lord!"

The more than five thousand Qin warriors behind him simultaneously pressed their right fists to their chests and shouted, "Lord!"

Lin Feng raised his hand to signal, and everyone stopped talking at once.

His gaze swept across the formation: "Bai San, Bai Si, Bai Wu, Bai Liu, you four fought bravely against the enemy and made outstanding contributions. From today onwards, you are promoted from deputy captains to captains."

The four men stepped forward at the same time, their steps steady, and stood down below the platform, their right fists pressed against their chests.

Lin Feng's mind stirred slightly, and he activated his General Selection skill, promoting four people to the rank of Thousand-Man Generals. He wanted to check the Thousand-Man Generals' stats first.

A golden light emanated from his palm and landed on the four people.

In the golden light, the armor of the four people changed. The armor plates became thicker, and a layer of dark purple trim was added to the edges. The shoulder armor expanded outward, and two vertical dark silver ridges appeared on the helmets.

Their auras also rose, as if a valve had been opened inside their bodies.

Lin Feng brought up the panel and quickly scanned it.

Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly. Although his skills hadn't increased, their cooldown times had been significantly reduced, and some skills had even been enhanced.

With the added bonus of purple sets and a massive army formation, any one of these level 30 generals could easily take on two awakened individuals of the same level.

Without pausing, he activated his general selection skill again, simultaneously promoting all four men to the rank of captain.

Four golden lights flashed again, even brighter than before. The four changed once more, the purple patterns on their armor plates became denser, a new pattern appeared on the edge of their shoulder armor, and a copper band appeared on the shaft of their halberds.
