Chapter 123: Yin Soldiers

The new ghost warrior system can directly turn people into ghost masters. This temptation is not small.

With the experience of being promoted to a blood warrior last time, many people in the gathering place are eager to try it. They are very excited to sign up for the experiment.

The opportunity to gamble their lives has come.

Either soar to the sky or die.

In the doomsday world, there is no shortage of gamblers who put their heads on their belts.

Nowadays, as the gathering place develops better and better, the population is also increasing rapidly. It can be said that it has emerged as a new force and has become the fourth largest force in Luocheng after the Black God Group, the Root Military, and the Redeemer Church.

Living in such a powerful sphere of influence is safe, but if you want to live a quality life, become a superior person, and have a certain status, you can only become a superpower or a blood warrior.

And now, if you want to become a blood warrior, you need to pay a lot of contribution points, which is not something an ordinary person can accumulate in a short time.

They remember that many people successfully developed superpowers and became blood warriors in the last experiment. The strength and status of both sides have suddenly changed dramatically.

Zheng Yi's current experiment is to give all gamblers a chance to choose.

As for how to choose, he doesn't ask.

But once you gamble, it's a gamble of life. The winner takes all, and the loser disappears.

This is fair competition, choosing the best from the best, and it also depends on a certain amount of luck.

However, Zheng Yi knows very well that this experiment is not easy, even a little harder than the blood warrior.

Ordinary people's souls are not tough enough. Even if the demon seeds enter the body, they will fail in the end because they can't bear the ghost evil of the Yin soldiers and the pain of the rune fusion soul, and the soul will collapse directly.

So this time, the choice is also required.

It must be those who are born with strong mental power. Only those who are born with strong mental power mean that the soul quality is higher and it is possible to withstand the demon seed.

So Zheng Yi simply refined a small magic tool called Yingling Mirror.

Only those with strong mental power can show their true outline when they are reflected in Yingling Mirror.

Yingling Mirror, a lowest-level single-purpose tool-type magic tool, is simple to refine for foundation-building cultivators, and can even be mass-produced.

However, people in the doomsday world have no magic power, so the mirror is inlaid with spirit stones to activate it, which is used to measure the spiritual power and soul strength of others.

Only when the spiritual power is confirmed to be strong enough can they become the experimental subjects for implanting the demon seed.

Those who have successfully transformed were named Ghost Warriors by Zheng Yi, which corresponds to Blood Warriors, but there is also a more resounding name, Yin Soldier Warrior, which just fits their actual situation.

Of course, even if the danger and success rate have been made clear in advance, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the volunteers.

On the high stands, looking down, there is a huge bulletproof glass.

Zheng Yi stood in the middle of the stands, looking at a group of experimenters with bare chests and only wearing shorts.

There are about a hundred of them.

This is the experimental subject with naturally strong spiritual power selected after careful selection in the entire gathering place.

There are more people queuing behind.

Everyone knows that this is a gamble, but the desire to become a ghost master is greater than the fear of death.

Everyone is thinking, since someone can succeed, why is that person not me?

Anyway, if you live in this world without power, your future will be hopeless, which prompted them to make a choice.

No one wants to be a waste, and becoming a ghost rider is even more glorious than becoming a superpower. It is more mysterious, has a higher status, and has greater power.

"Is this the first batch of selected test subjects?"

Zheng Yi now delegates all the chores to the Supreme Management Committee, which is also known as the headquarters. He doesn't need to worry about selecting experimental subjects.

He only wants the result, not the process.

"A total of 123 people, all here, have signed the life and death agreement in advance. Whether they live or die, the headquarters is not responsible."

"But there is still necessary care. Once each participant passes the test and meets the requirements, they will receive a generous pension to their family members after participating in the experiment. If there are no relatives or friends, they will be dealt with according to his wishes..."

The person in charge of the Supreme Management Committee responsible for this experiment reported to Zheng Yi with a list of participants in his hand.

There is no need for the person in charge to tell Zheng Yi the number of people. He stood here, and his powerful divine thoughts swept through, and everything was clear.

Even the birthmarks on each person can be sensed clearly, not to mention the number of people.

"But after today's experiment, I wonder how many people will be left?"

Zheng Yi seemed to sigh, but his eyes were cold.

After so many years of cultivating immortals, he had seen too many joys and sorrows in the world, and had long been trained to have a heart of stone.

Everything is the path you choose, whether you succeed or fail, you will be rich and prosperous and change your destiny.

If you lose, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and you will bear all the consequences yourself.

"In that case, let's start now."

Zheng Yi said expressionlessly to the side.

After hearing Zheng Yi's order, the head of the laboratory of the Supreme Management Committee next to him immediately nodded, waved to the staff next to him, and made a gesture, indicating that they could start.

After hearing the order, everyone stood in line and waited for battle.

Especially those below who participated in the experiment, they separated into many blocks and stood in place.

Zheng Yi closed and opened his eyes, turbulent blue light shot out from the depths of his pupils, and the large array arranged below immediately swept across, and the entire operation started.

Boom boom!

Everyone felt the ground shake, and then rays of light criss-crossed, forming more than a hundred independent translucent light masks, shrouding everyone in them.

This is an isolation formation that has been arranged long ago. It is driven by lower-grade spiritual stones to prevent someone from mutating after merging with the demon species, or from the dark soldiers and ghosts who want to merge out of control and kill people. This is to protect themselves and others.

"Just send out these ghost-controlling seeds and let them swallow them all."

Zheng Yi turned his right hand and took out a small cloth bag, which contained exactly one hundred and twenty-three bloody seeds.

This is naturally the demon seed formed by Zheng Yi using blood lotus seeds as the basis and using the Dao Heart Seed Demon Refining Technique to refine the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts.

However, the name Demon Seed sounds evil, so to the outside world, it is collectively referred to as the Seed of Controlling Ghosts.

It is different from the fusion of parasitic bats. Parasitic bat eggs are biological forms and are mainly fused with the heart, so an opening must be made in the chest to fuse with blood.

As for the demon seeds refined by Zheng Yi, according to the characteristics of the blood lotus seeds, once they enter the body without being refined, after Zheng Yi activates the ancestral lotus in the body, the seeds will immediately take root and sprout, combining with flesh and blood.

The evil soldiers and ghosts inside the demon species will also begin to merge with the souls of the experimental subjects under the influence of the ghost refining method.

This process is similar to parasitism and two-way fusion, so this is why the experimenter's mental power is required to be naturally strong.

Zheng Yi is carefree about matters at the gathering place. As success rates increase, experiments of this scale will surely become the norm.

He cannot come every time, but for the first experiment, in order to obtain first-hand information and to deal with emergencies, he must personally supervise.

"ah!"

"Ahhh!"

"It's so painful, it seems like something is crawling in my flesh and blood..."

As the experiment began, demon seeds were swallowed into the mouths of the subjects participating in the experiment. The demon seeds entered the body and immediately took root and sprouted, taking root in the flesh and blood.

Many of the subjects who participated in the experiment had their faces changed drastically, and their faces were distorted, and many even huddled in the protective shield in pain.

When the surrounding researchers saw this scene, they all felt sour.

But Zheng Yi and the person in charge of the experiment remained expressionless as they watched the people below wailing in pain.

People like them in high positions have hard hearts and are used to seeing all kinds of tragedies. It is difficult for them to be moved by ordinary human suffering.

After all, living in this apocalyptic hell world with no future in sight, what could be more painful and desperate than this?

The efficiency of the demon species' fusion with the human body was faster than Zheng Yi imagined, and it quickly passed the parasitic stage. Many experimental subjects' heads were raised, their eyes were wide open, covered with bloodshot eyes, their eyebrows were bulging, and even human bodies were All emit a faint dim light.

"The most critical stage is here!"

Zheng Yi's eyes narrowed and he stood up straight. He did not expect that he would reach the stage of soul fusion with Yin Bing Li Gui so quickly.

Although he placed the ghost refining talisman in the demon seed and integrated it with the characteristics of the ghost master in this world, soul fusion is the most dangerous. Even immortal cultivators are extremely careful. If there is a slight mistake, the soul will collapse.

This method is mainly to stimulate the special superpower potential of humans in this doomsday world, otherwise the success rate will be even lower.

Within the isolation barrier, some people could no longer bear it, their faces instantly turned gray, and their eyes lost color.

The whole person seemed to have no bones, and lay limp on the ground, motionless. Even if there was no special physical examination, anyone who saw it could understand at the first moment that this person had lost his life forever.

He died inexplicably and silently.

This is because the soul cannot withstand the invasion of demon species, cannot merge with the evil soldiers and ghosts, and directly collapses.

This method of death is actually not painful, because you lose consciousness instantly. It just looks very strange and makes the scalp of those who see it numb.

Zheng Yi looked elsewhere. One of them looked up to the sky and roared. His face was distorted and his temples were bulging. He was about to be unable to bear it. But at this moment, his eyes seemed to open up to something. The passage bloomed with a faint blue light.

Thick black mist emerged from his body and surrounded half of his body, making him look like a monster coming out of hell.

Although he was still in human form, an invisible pressure shrouded his whole body, making everyone around him feel a chill in their hearts.

Then, in the stunned and shocked eyes of all the researchers, they saw the man suddenly straightening his legs, defying gravity, and slowly rising about three inches into the air.

Then more and more black mist poured out from the orifice on the top of his head, and an invisible soul shock wave suddenly spread, but fortunately there was the translucent mask protection, which hit the mask hard, Produces violent ripples.

The man's face was shrouded in a layer of black magic mist. Half of his face was still humanoid, but the other half of his face was rapidly distorted, like an evil ghost.

It was clear that his facial features had not changed, but he looked unusually ferocious.

And behind him, a huge black shadow three to four meters long gradually emerged.

It was a hideous demon shadow. Although it also had a human-shaped outline with two shoulders and a head, its hideous appearance, gray armor, and a soul-catching sickle in hand made it look like an evil death god from hell. It was a terrifying monster no matter how you looked at it.

"Ah!"

The man was suspended about three inches above the ground. At first, his eyes were indifferent, gradually became confused, and finally suddenly regained consciousness, and then the whole person fell from mid-air and sat on the ground.

"I succeeded, I succeeded!"

"I became a ghost master!"

But he was not panicked, but shouted in surprise.

He stood up directly and raised his arm excitedly. With the control of his mind, an invisible force spread along his arm bones to his arm, and a series of strange gray patterns formed on the skin of his arm, just like a very ancient gray tattoo.

He looked back at the huge demon shadow behind him and could feel that the two sides had a kind of soul-level resonance, producing some more subtle communication and influence.

And as he moved, the demon shadow also made the same movement.

The man stretched out his palm and grabbed forward. The huge demon shadow behind him, which was three or four meters long, also stretched out his huge palm and grabbed forward. The air exploded directly, forming circles of ripples that spread outward.

He looked at everything he did in amazement and ecstasy, and the researchers around him looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

"Why do I feel that the power of the experimenters in this period to control the ghost soldiers and evil spirits is more terrifying than the blood warriors?"

Zheng Yi stood at the top, watching all this, and nodded.

"The Yin soldiers or ghost warriors pay more attention to the spiritual transformation. They have the ability to influence reality with their spirit. They are higher than the blood warriors from the starting point."

"Of course, this cannot be a unified measure of strength. The upper limit of both is good. The analogy between the blood warrior and the ghost warrior is a bit like the difference between body training and qi training. One is material and the other is spiritual. They have different paths and the same destination. How far they will go in the end depends on themselves and the resources behind them..."

"Okay."

With Zheng Yi's nod, the lucky person who successfully fused with the demon seed was immediately released from the shield. A special person led them into the passage of the laboratory for further observation and testing.

Of course, this is only a very small number of lucky people. More people did not survive the final fusion, and their souls collapsed one by one.

Some people even mutated and turned into monsters without thoughts. They frantically wanted to pass through the protective shield to attack the researchers outside.

Standing above, Zheng Yi's face was expressionless and his eyes became more and more cold.

He stretched out his palm and pressed down. The mutant monster was immediately suppressed by a terrifying magic power, and then the whole body broke and exploded, dyeing the entire shield blood red.

The experiment continued. Everyone's tolerance limit was different. Some people succeeded, and some failed.

But the success is always a very small number of people, and the failure is the majority.

More people were unconscious, their faces were gray, and they collapsed in the shield, completely losing their breath of life.

"Sure enough, it is just a new method. Although it borrowed and integrated several secret techniques, the final effect is still not satisfactory. With such a success rate, you have to spend your life."

"This is not the result I want. It needs to be improved. Otherwise, the ghost warrior system will never become the mainstream cultivation system in the gathering place."

Zheng Yi participated in the whole process of the experiment, thinking in his heart, frowning.

At this time, the whole experiment has also entered the end.

However, many experimental subjects have integrated the demon species, but they are addicted to the powerful sense of power brought by the ghost soldiers and ghosts. There is confusion and confusion in their eyes, and they can't wake up.

Zheng Yi frowned, and a flying sword appeared in his hand. He stretched out a finger and flicked the sword lightly.

"Clang!"

A sharp sword sound rang in everyone's ears, like a sonic boom of an airplane breaking through the air, tearing the eardrum.

Many people couldn't bear the pain, covered their ears, and blood flowed from their ears, but they woke up in an instant.

"Success!"

"Thank God, I survived."

"It was so scary just now, I thought I was dead!"

Those lucky ones who woke up were stunned, looking at the Shura-like scene in front of them, but they instantly noticed the changes in their bodies and were ecstatic about their success.

"Clean up your place, and bury the bodies of those who failed."

"Those who successfully merged the demon species will undergo a second round of testing. Ten days later, I need all the experimental data..."

Zheng Yi turned and left, but his voice reached the ears of the person in charge of the experimental plant.

The other party nodded, and under his command, all the researchers began to act.

Next, it was the more crucial experimental analysis and data analysis.

Ten days later, Zheng Yi received the experimental reports of the first batch of experimenters.

Of the first batch of experimenters, a total of 123 volunteers who received demon seeds, less than 20 people succeeded in fusion. This success rate was maintained between 10% and 15%, which was even far less than the success rate of the first batch of transformation into blood warriors.

However, this low success rate is understandable.

After all, blood warriors are transformed from the physical aspect, while demon seeds are transformed from the mental aspect.

The soul is far more fragile than the body, and the two are not difficult at the same level.

After receiving the report, the first batch of Yin soldiers were successfully transformed. Zheng Yi was not in a hurry to transform the second batch. Although he expected such a low success rate, it still made him feel frightened.

What he wanted was to cultivate ghost warriors belonging to his own system in the gathering place, but this result could not be filled with human lives, otherwise the personnel would be greatly reduced, and the number of people in his territory would only become fewer and fewer, which was a disguised weakening of his own power.
