Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Great Success of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner! (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)

Looking at the Spiritual Ability Flash Disk in his hand, which was deemed a half-finished Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Damn system, you really are an easy guy to deal with.

As for the final step in crafting the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?

Of course, it’s to subdue the tens of thousands of resentful souls within the banner and unite them.

As a Magical Treasure that even lower-level Demon Cultivators find useful and love to use, how could the Ten Thousand Souls Banner have so many tedious crafting processes?

First, kill people to extract their souls and seal the Life Souls into a container capable of storing them.

Then subdue the Life Souls. The most preliminary phase of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s refinement is complete.

As for later upgrading the Life Souls to Resentful Souls, or elevating the main souls from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, those are all part of the banner’s upgrade path.

And what Su Yuan needed to do was subdue this entire batch of ten thousand Cyber Life Souls at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

From the perspective of refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, these things can hardly be considered Life Souls anymore.

Born with the template based on himself, they had already transformed into Resentful Souls just upon dying!

Quite ferocious!

Trying to subdue such a heap of Resentful Souls is an almost impossible task for ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage Demon Cultivators.

Even a small mistake could lead to being devoured by the Resentful Souls.

Not to mention these are Cyber Resentful Souls, which typically require inserting the Spiritual Ability Flash Disk into a Spiritual Net terminal to communicate.

But these challenges are too simple for Su Yuan.

Demon Technique·Finger Weapon! Launch!

When the power of this evil demon technique was infused into the Spiritual Ability Flash Disk, it immediately captured a Cyber Resentful Soul, forcibly raising its favorability to 100.

Su Yuan also established a mental link with this Resentful Soul.

It was obvious that the intelligence of this Resentful Soul was high, maintaining a considerable degree of caution towards him even with a favorability of 100.

Su Yuan remained unhurried, starting a relentless talk with this Resentful Soul.

"Do you know that you are an AI model? Do you understand what the fate of AI models is?"

"If an AI doesn’t strive hard, it won’t even be able to become a brother in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but now your opportunity has come!"

"Why out of ten thousand Cyber Resentful Souls did I choose to talk to you first? Because I see your talent and uniqueness."

"Now I am offering you a glorious career with a promising future, becoming the main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

"Below one person, above ten thousand souls, can anyone else give you this treatment?"

"Buddy, think it over carefully, but I will only give you thirty seconds to consider. If you can’t produce enough results, I’ll have to look for other talents."

...

"Oh? Have you made up your mind so quickly?"

"You’ll help me persuade other Resentful Souls and truly command the army within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

"Great! This era needs young people like you with ability and courage!"

After that interlude, this Cyber Resentful Soul, named Su Yuan No. 1, had its favorability with Su Yuan reach 200.

There was no need to question its loyalty.

One can only say there is a difference between mass-produced and prototype models!

Then, Su Yuan used the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon on another nine Resentful Souls.

With the persuasion of Su Yuan No. 1 and the promise of a Centurion’s position, the "Race" effect was achieved!

And at the moment when the "Race" effect was achieved, Su Yuan’s refinement level for the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner instantly maxed out.

Even the Demon Cultivators best at playing mind games couldn’t possibly persuade one by one the over ten thousand Resentful Souls they slaughtered firsthand.

Therefore, it’s no exaggeration to say Su Yuan’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner is the most loyal to its master ever.

[Quest: Magical Treasure Race (Completed)]

[Quest Reward: Ten Thousand Souls Banner quality upgrade by one level (Granted)]

The ordinary-looking Spiritual Ability Flash Disk in Su Yuan’s hand flashed with white light.

When the light dissipated, its form had undergone a radical transformation.

From the shape of a flash disk, it turned into a finger-thick, about forty-centimeter long, dark matte metal rod.

[Ten Thousand Souls Banner (Second Level)]

[Upgrade Direction: Main Soul upgrade, Banner body material upgrade, Automatic recognition, Attack range enhancement, Spiritual Power consumption reduction...]

After reviewing these upgraded features, Su Yuan examined this black rod with great interest.

The magical treasure’s normal recognition process was automatically completed with this upgrade.

And this black rod form is the dormant state of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Once activated...

Su Yuan casually infused a wisp of Spiritual Power into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and in the next moment, strands of threads emerged from the rod.

Each thread was forcibly extracted from the soul body of one Resentful Soul, with their twisted and terrifying faces still visible.

When all ten thousand threads emerged and intertwined, a black banner exuding a chilling aura appeared on the black rod.

This is the full appearance of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Upon closer examination, the black banner’s form is a holographic projection; there’s nothing to feel even when tried to touch.

This is the biggest difference between the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner and a regular Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The latter attacks the physical world, while the former exclusively targets the Spiritual Net world.

By now, it was broad daylight, and Su Yuan, carrying his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, exited the room where the login capsule was stored and entered Xiao Kong’s living room.

The living room was empty; it seemed Xiao Kong was in his room at this time.

"Mr. Su Yuan, is there anything I can assist you with?"

At this moment, an intelligent robot resembling a trash can slid over, politely asking.

This robot was Xiao Kong’s smart steward, able to control the whole house’s smart devices.

Looking at the chubby robot, a wicked smile appeared on Su Yuan’s lips, and he waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at the robot.

In the next second, a dense cold aura surged from the banner, accompanied by the shrill screams of Resentful Souls.

When the cold aura infiltrated the robot, the originally white halos of its light strip suddenly turned blood-red.

"Master, please command at will!"

"Would you want me to kill the original owner?"

The robot’s voice turned cold and deep, and as it echoed, the whole house’s lights and appliances flickered erratically.

Su Yuan casually glanced at the living room’s surveillance camera, a thought moved, and the camera’s footage was transmitted directly to Su Yuan’s mobile phone.

Another thought switched the phone screen to the footage from Xiao Kong’s bedroom camera.

Seeing Xiao Kong curled up in the blanket, eyes glued to the phone screen, and one hand hidden under the covers...

It turns out the cool male god also does such things...

Alright, no peeking!

I intruded.

Su Yuan waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner again, lifting the control over the smart steward.

And the previous moves, even combined, didn’t even utilize one percent of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s power.

"This cheat is somewhat too overpowering, but somehow it feels like it skirts the legal boundaries."

Su Yuan gazed in amazement at this new magical treasure.

And the only part he was somewhat dissatisfied with was that the system, upon upgrading the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner, imbued it with the effects of a Demonic Magical Treasure.

This could lead to misunderstandings by others.

However, Su Yuan quickly thought of another quest reward.

[Righteous Disguise]!

This thing supposedly can overlay a layer of Righteous effects on anything with Demon Dao effects.
