Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 818: Battle Soul Formation!

"Go!"

With a flick of his finger, the refined essence from the divine flame quickly flowed into the formation core.

The formation core, damaged by the Silver-white Torrent's impact, immediately began to recover. The drop of Fay's blood essence and will that Sterl had previously condensed also began to recover.

Once all the essence was integrated into the formation core, the city's defensive formation, capable of repelling even the strongest of gods, was completely restored.

"With just this level, if we are invaded again, it won't be of much use. If I happen to be detained by Dreamland..."

Sterl narrowed his eyes, his mind constantly reflecting on the situation.

At first glance, this formation would have been enough, but after facing off against these mysterious invaders, such a formation would be nearly useless. It didn't match the level of defense he sought.

As the strongest shield for his domain, the city's defensive formation had to be absolutely safe and powerful. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of resources.

After a moment of contemplation, a gleam of light flashed in Sterl's eyes.

"If we could replicate some of the effects of War Soul Resonance onto the city's defensive formation, although it wouldn't enhance the formation's protective ability, it would strengthen the army's combat power, thus improving the defense of the royal city as well," Sterl thought, gazing at the brutal battlefield below and the blood-boiling, excited, and crazed soldiers. The more he watched, the more determined he became.

The old saying that the best defense is a good offense rang in his mind. If this idea could truly be realized, then in the event of another invasion, all that would be needed would be to send out the army, and they could repel the invaders at the city's gates!

"However, to replicate the War Soul Resonance arcane skill on the royal city's formation is nearly impossible. But if I simplify it, giving the formation a fraction of War Soul Resonance's power, it is worth trying."

As soon as the idea formed, Sterl, with his current mental strength and analytical speed, quickly constructed a rough prototype in his mind.

What he needed to do now was perfect the prototype and test and improve it.

"The core principle of the War Soul Resonance arcane skill is that it connects the powerful soul will of the commander to the soul wills of the soldiers under his command, fully activating their physical and spiritual potential. This activation does not require the commander to expend any energy but instead taps into the soldiers' internal potential, drawing in various free-floating energies and elements from the Void..."

"As for the release of potential, it is mainly determined by the rank of the commander. The stronger the commander, the closer the soldiers' released potential will be to the commander's own power. Although this potential release is temporary, even after it ends, the soldiers' strength won't regress, even if the release is shut off..."

Sterl continuously analyzed the mysteries and core principles of War Soul Resonance. Fortunately, the cheat he possessed would transmit the pathways of any arcane skill or ability enhancement directly into his mind, allowing him to make perfect use of them.

Thus, Sterl's understanding of War Soul Resonance was far stronger than before, even more so than the previous War Demon. With the added support of Spiritual Transcendence, his analysis of War Soul Resonance progressed faster.

In just about half an hour, Sterl came up with concrete steps to take.

"It's a pity that although War Soul Resonance is an arcane skill, after the cheat enhancement, it has become a unique talent ability of mine. Many of its features cannot be replicated, especially War Soul Awakening. However, the royal city's defensive formation does not need the full power of War Soul Resonance. Just a part of it is enough to enhance the soldiers' strength and temporarily repel the invaders."

Slightly shaking his head, Sterl extended his hand, and his palm gradually turned red.

Soon, drops of blood, as if naturally shaped over billions of years and resembling rubies, began to seep from the center of his palm.

After the Sublimation of Power, every inch of his body underwent significant transformation. If his blood were magnified countless times, one would clearly see that the cells in his blood had taken on the appearance of diamond-like crystalline polyhedra, shining brilliantly and exuding an extremely noble aura.

If any living being were to obtain a single drop of his blood, dilute it in a lake, and then absorb its essence, the mystical power within would allow that being to ascend to great heights, granting them transcendent strength and potential.

After expelling a blood ball the size of a soccer ball, Sterl stopped. He then extended his hand, and the tips of his fingers gleamed with a strange light.

Using his finger as a pen and his blood as ink, the blood ball, now the size of a soccer ball, transformed into long, thin bloodlines that wrapped around Sterl's finger. These lines then quickly etched themselves onto the formation core.

After Spiritual Transcendence, his spiritual soul had fused with his entire body. These bloodlines not only contained Sterl's power but also held a trace of his will and soul energy.

His soul and physical form were now the key to activating the War Soul Resonance arcane skill.

Time passed second by second, and the patterns on the formation core grew more complex and mysterious. If one's mental will was not strong enough, carelessly observing it could shatter the mind with the vast and intricate information hidden within!

The etching continued for over an hour, and when the final drop of blood was used up, Sterl stopped his movements.

"It's done."

Looking at the strange patterns now etched onto the formation core, a faint smile appeared on Sterl's face.

"Let's see how it performs."

Placing the formation core back, Sterl focused his mind.

"ROAR!!!"

In an instant, a deafening roar shook the heavens, echoing from above the royal city.

Fay's ethereal figure quickly condensed above the city. However, unlike before, this time Fay's body was covered in numerous intricate patterns. These patterns seemed to hold some kind of strange power, like the most exquisite and powerful energy runes, flashing with blinding light.

Immediately, an invisible force enveloped the entire royal city and began to spread outward, extending over several hundred miles before it reached its limit.

Feeling the invisible power, Sterl nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. Using my blood and soul power as the foundation, I never expected that I could truly replicate part of War Soul Resonance's effects!"

He said with genuine surprise and delight.

"However, this effect cannot be maintained permanently."

Sterl examined the consumption rate of the patterns on the formation core.

"If the formation is not activated, it can last for thousands of years. But once activated, it can only last for a maximum of one month..."

He quickly came up with the detailed data, though the duration was already impressive, especially considering it was based on his own power and the core.

Moreover, this was just the beginning. If he spent more time refining it, Sterl was confident that he could increase the duration by more than tenfold.

Of course, even if the duration increased, it wouldn't have a huge impact, as such engravings could be made at any time.

The most critical factor, however, was the pseudo-War Soul Resonance's effects and power.

Sterl focused intently, and as the creator of the formation core, he quickly understood the basic abilities of the pseudo-War Soul Resonance.

"The ultimate War Soul Resonance arcane skill has nine major abilities. Even with my blood and soul power as the foundation, the arcane skill I've replicated only possesses five of those abilities."

He muttered to himself.

These five abilities were: Immortal Battle Will, Lightning March, War Protection, War Domain, and a special effect that fused War Soul Awakening and Fury of the War Soul, called War Twilight.

Not only that, but the power of these five abilities was far inferior to that of the War Soul Resonance arcane skill that Sterl fully mastered. It didn't even compare to the original War Soul Resonance — the difference was vast.

Even so, this pseudo-War Soul Resonance, used for defending the royal city, was still a powerful weapon.

If activated, it could easily block an invasion of the same scale as the previous one.

"This shouldn't be called War Soul Resonance. It should be named Battle Soul Formation. With this formation, combined with the city's defensive array, even if I enter Dreamland, there won't be much to worry about."

Looking up at the massive, menacing beast's ethereal figure above the royal city, Sterl nodded in satisfaction.

"If I could truly merge the Beast's Fay Suppression, blending its physical and soul essence with the formation, the power should be even greater!"

Sterl thought to himself, a look of keen interest appearing on his face.
