Chapter 606: Evolution and Level Up 1
While the royal family of the Brown Kingdom made their preparations for an investigative team to be sent to the Black Plain, the headquarters of young Stuart's army was somewhat excited these past few days.
But this was not for nothing. After all, after a little more than five years since Minos' arrival in this place, he was finally getting ready to reach level 50!
Hence, many positive things were going to happen for this organization because of this, and this made the daily life of each of these soldiers even more exciting.
For example, with Minos reaching the 6th stage, he would be considered a regional expert, a figure to be respected, even in peaceful situations where one side doesn't demonstrate his own power. But, on the other hand, the stronger the local ruler was, the better that would be for Dry City.
It would be easier for the city to attract more people, become more prominent, generate more incredible wealth, etc. In short, this was a positive cycle that would take this city and the organization behind this place to a whole new level.
And as cultivators, many of the soldiers would like to have more status, not have to hide and be respected as members of a great organization. So, having a stronger leader would bring this city and army one step closer to these goals.
But of course, all the soldiers knew that the problems would not end when Minos reached the 6th stage of cultivation. After all, he was only a single person, while the Black Plain had potentially hundreds of enemies of the same cultivation range!
Hence, it would still take some time for young Stuart alone to suppress the entire northern region of the Central Continent.
historical
Knowing this all, none of the soldiers had any silly hopes that independence would be achieved easily. But, the opposite of that, they were all prepared to fight fiercely for this place since they knew that the fastest way for them to gain regional respect would be through their collective strength!
Besides the advantages of having a sovereign at the 6th stage, several soldiers in the army were even more excited than the others because of a specific opportunity.
Minos was preparing to move up his cultivation stage. Still, at the same time as that, he would go through the evolution of his Physique, going from the Warrior-grade to the King-grade.
Since he needed to use one of the King-grade medicines he had ordered on that trip to the Kingdom of the Waves, Minos wanted to distribute the benefits of this event with some soldiers!
The evolution of a Physique did not directly absorb the energy of the spiritual medicine since it only used such a thing to activate the evolution.
But after this evolution was achieved, the amount of energy released by the medicine was still much more significant than a single person could absorb.
Minos was preparing to evolve his Physique using one of the medicines he had ordered. At the same time, 130 of his soldiers already at level 39 would have the opportunity to absorb the remaining energy from this!
Such a thing would not make these people rise on many levels at once since the cultivators' bodies would not be able to do such a thing. But even so, these 130 soldiers could, in a short time, rise from level 39 to 40 without the need for pills or other external help that might accumulate impurities in their bodies.
That was an excellent opportunity for many of the soldiers in the local army to save months or weeks of their lives while avoiding the problem of impurities and still achieving a new level!
On the other hand, such a thing would be excellent for the army since having 130 more Spiritual Generals in advance would be incredible!
Hence, many of the soldiers in the local army were very pleased, either for this opportunity or for the fact that more of their comrades would become stronger.
...
At the Black Plain Army headquarters, Minos was currently in the office of his girlfriend, Abby, where this young woman usually worked.
Abby had a command role in Minos' organization. As such, she needed a workplace like the one her boyfriend had in that mansion. But since she worked directly in that organization and not in the Dry City government, that work station was in the headquarters and not in the local mansion.
Anyway, now Minos was sitting on a couch in Abby's office, while Ruth was also there as she wouldn't miss this opportunity...
She was very curious about young Stuart's Physique, as she found his ability somewhat unique. And since there was a divergence between the information Maisie had passed on to her and what she had seen during the Spiritual Tournament, this young woman was curious to learn more about him.
Finally, Abby remained in her armchair chatting with Minos and Ruth.
"Ruth, how was your poison treatment? Did you find it helpful?" She asked as she looked at that black-haired woman.
Like Abby, Ruth had also had the opportunity to experience Regina's professional skills.
That had happened just after Regina had finished doing young Stuart's treatment, something that had been somewhat laborious for that woman...
But the result on Minos had been sensational, and now this young man looked much more superficially attractive and physically powerful. But, on the other hand, he had prepared himself in the best possible way for his level advancement and the evolution of his Physique.
That had been so effective that Minos was sure that the difficulty of his advancement had now decreased by more than 50%!
And after his treatment, Ruth had gone through the same thing. But with her, such treatment had been much smoother since her physical characteristics were better than his. After all, she had a Saint-grade Physique and was already at the 6th stage of cultivation.
She then said. "I liked it. In the past, I had done this with a low-level grade-2 poison master, but the experience is completely different!"
"After going through that woman's treatment, I feel like a completely different person." She gladly said while with a smile on her beautiful face. "I feel as if I have recovered from a long cold. I feel more energetic, my strength, stamina, cultivation time, etc., everything has improved to some extent."
"Hmm, I felt the same way too..." Abby commented as she nodded in the direction of that black-haired woman. "It's just a pity that we'll have to wait until Regina reaches level 60 to have a chance to go through such a procedure again..."
Pa! Pa!
As she was going to say something, that office door was knocked on twice, and a young girl who looked to be about 12 entered that place.
"Master, Sergeant Abby, all preparations have been made, and the upper level of the army cultivation tower is ready." She said in her childish tone as she made a formal stance to talk to Minos and Abby.
Such a girl was only at level 18, and as such, she stayed all her time inside the headquarters. And among her responsibilities was passing messages like this one...
"Oh?" Minos stood up from that couch he was on before finally asking that girl something. "Corporal Alina is already with the group, right? You guys haven't forgotten about her, right?"
"She is already with the other 129 Corporals, master." The young girl promptly answered.
Minos obviously wouldn't miss the opportunity to allow Alina to reach level 40. After all, with her innate ability, the moment she reached level 40, she would be able to disintegrate high-level grade-1 items. That is, she would be capable of doing something that would allow low-level grade-2 items to be produced with recycled items!
And with that, the army's power could grow to a new extent!
"Hehehe, then let's go!" Minos said in a satisfied manner before making his way to the location in question alongside his girlfriends.
'Finally, I will become a Spiritual King!' He thought to himself, barely able to hide his anxiety.
