Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang had been busy with the matter of the Tarrior. After chasing the Immortal Dynasty, he had been flying around his territory. He did not try to wipe all the zombies out even with the threat of a new Immortal Dynasty. There was no benefit for him to kill all the zombies as it barely gave him the experience to level up. However, it was different for his subordinate, who was much lower in level. The zombies were like resources rather than a threat in his eyes, so he was checking around to ensure no more things such as an Immortal Dynasty.

There was no more threat like the Immortal Dynasty after a whole day of patrolling around. The border would be safe from such a threat for a few months, at the least. After that, he visited the dead Tarriors' family. The battle against two Epic Rank Zombies in Shiye Island killed many Tarriors, the biggest casualties so far since the early days of the zombie horde.

Li Shuang proposed the idea of holding a funeral for the dead, and Tang Shaoyang agreed to that. He delivered a speech amidst the cries of the family, expressing his sadness, and also promised the family that the Tang Empire would take care of them. The reason the Tarriors dared to fight to the death was that they knew that their family would be taken care of even if they died in the battle. That was written on the contract when people joined Tarriors.

With all those activities, he had been ignoring his newly acquired spirit. He only remembered it now after a short break. Yes, he had been taking care of the paperwork. Yes, it was literally a document made of papers, delivered to him to get his approval. All those things were the project that needed his approval. It was a busy day for him as he barely remembered about the projects. The only thing he remembered was Yu, the Ancient Alchemist who proposed to make a herb garden.

Archaic Spirit: Avyn the Last Kankara'Xeo

The System listed Avyn in a new category in his window status, and it did not show her rank. His strongest spirit was Grade SSS Spirit, Zara, and Rumru, but there was no grade next to Avyn's name, confusing him. He did not know how strong the girl was.

'That's a good question. Even though I haven't fought anyone yet, I am pretty sure that I am on the same level as God already. I don't know why the System did not show my real rank, but around that level,' Avyn responded positively.

"How about having a bout against Zara? I think that will help to identify your real grade," Tang Shaoyang proposed.

'I don't think it's fair at all. The fact the Angel of Death is your spirit means you defeated her in a battle. You are the right opponent for a spar, but again, I can't really hurt you. It's not that fun to spar against you. Let's pass, but my rank should be above the Hollow God, but still below the Transcendent God level.'

"Huh, wait a minute," Tang Shaoyang heard something he had never heard of before, Hollow God and Transcendent God. He thought God was God, nothing else, but it seemed he was wrong about it, "What do you mean by Hollow God and Transcendent God?"

'You don't know about those sub ranks?' Avyn paused for ten seconds before continuing, 'Ah, It's understandable you don't know about it yet because you and your world are still new. That's right when you reach God Rank, there are four sub ranks that differentiate Gods. Hollow God the weakest, Transcendent God, True God, and Godking the highest. The level is the main factor in reaching God Rank, but to raise your rank, from Hollow God to Transcendent God, for example, you need to fulfill certain conditions. God Rank is the rank when your level is irrelevant.'

'Do you know what's more interesting? The condition to raise your rank is to kill the other gods. If you are a Hollow God, then you need to kill fifty Hollow Gods or two Transcendent Gods. That's right, God is also the System's plaything. Don't ever think that you are safe even if you have reached Godking Rank. You will be hunted by the other gods. My ancestor is Godking, but he was forced to kill himself.'

Tang Shaoyang was left speechless by the sudden revelation from Avyn. He never thought of asking those. The thing he wanted to know was Kankara'Xeo. Was it a dragon? Or the Dragon's ancestor? That was an exciting topic for him, but Avyn pulled him into a sudden revelation.

'If you want to know where I know that information, it's my ancestor's memories. There were a lot of things that I wanted to tell you, but the system seems to prevent me from doing so. The System keeps warning me that it will banish me if I don't follow the System's rule.'

"That's a lot of information," Tang Shaoyang muttered by himself. Of course, God Rank was still far from him. He just finished his second trial, still in Ancient Rank. There were still Myth Rank, Primordial Rank, Legend Rank, Demi-God, and then God, "The God topic is too early for me. Let's save that for later; sometime, knowledge would cause more harm than help."

He had already thought of doing a risky thing in his mind. He was afraid that he would do more reckless things if they continued the topic. Driven by the desire to reach God Rank as quickly as possible, he might put himself in danger someday. He stopped asking about God and changed the topic. The right time to discuss God was once he reached the Legendary Rank.

'Great thinking. My information might harm you instead of helping you,' Avyn agreed after she read his mind.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "What about the Kankara'Xeo? Is that a tribe name, your clan? Or is that an ancient dragon type?"

'We start the chat from there, huh? So you want to know more about me than my strength, Hmmmm.'

Tang Shaoyang was left speechless. It was as if he asked the wrong thing. He thought about it, word per word, and he felt like there was nothing wrong with his question.

'Kankara'Xeo is a Dragon's subspecies. We are known for our ice magic, Eternal Ice Elemental Power.'

Tang Shaoyang waited for Avyn to continue, but she stopped there. She did not tell him about the background of the Kankara'Xeo and what was the difference between the normal ice magic and her Eternal Ice.

"Can you explain more about yourself and your power, then? I need to know your power…." He paused and slapped his head, "I am stupid. It will be faster if I use Spirit Integration with you."

'No! Don't!" Tang Shaoyang was not expecting an extreme reaction from her. The sudden burst shocked him as her voice was still ringing in his head.

'Don't ever think of integrating with me. Your body is not strong enough to handle my Eternal Ice, and you will freeze yourself to death!' Avyn warned him, 'Even with your special constitution, let's not try it until you reach Legendary Rank. Just summon me if you need to borrow my strength.'
