Everyone instantly raised their guard as they stared at a strange person. This person seemed like a ghost with no body but at the same time, it was impossible to look through his body.
His body was blue and seemed like he had every body part of a human except, it was hard to call him a human because he neither had flesh nor bones.
He stared at seven of them and let out a creepy laugh.
"Jie! Jie! Jie! What an amazing young man. You managed to capture the heart of six girls and keep them under control without raising any conflict. And, you even managed to capture the heart of someone from another race."
"And, a technique that allows you to control the skeletons. I have never heard of such a technique. Is it your own creation or is it a unique Battle Soul Ability?"
"Four Martial Grandmasters, Two Martial Masters, and a Junior Martial Artist? Wait, I can sense powerful internal energy from you. Hehehe! It seems like you came here to raise an army of dead."
Suddenly, his blue eyes turned red and a terrifying aura burst out of him.
"But, do you know the consequences of stealing from the Ghost Kingdom?"
When he said that, he released a powerful soul energy that seemed to be similar to Spiritual Pressure. But, it was a lot weaker. This kind of spiritual pressure didn't even make them flinch.
Suddenly, the Chaos Lamp appeared in his hand and the next moment, he released his Spiritual Pressure.
"Do you know that the villain dies faster by talking too much?"
Kim's body flashed with the blue lightning. He instantly reached in front of the Ghost and the Armament Technique appeared on his arm. Spiritual Pressure was released from him and merged with the Armament Technique.
Suddenly, the black and blue lightning emerged from his hand as he punched the Ghost.
Bang!
The power of that punch was so strong that it almost destroyed his soul and body. That man flew out and landed against the tall wall of a grave. A few cracks appeared on his body and his body started to shrink.
After adjusting his body, he raised his head and with confusion in his eyes, he asked.
"How can you hurt my power?"
At this moment, he was truly confused. Using the Armament Technique, it wouldn't be a surprise that Kim's attack landed on him.
But, why did it break his body? As a soul body, his body would only suffer true damage from the soul arts. With Armament Technique, it would be possible to hurt him but it wouldn't destroy his body.
Right now, his body was full of cracks. That's why he didn't understand what was going on.
Of course, Kim wouldn't let him talk more. His legs smashed against the ground and his body flashed above the soul.
"Wait, wait,"
That man tried to speak but Kim's hand once again flashed blue and black lightning as he slammed his fist on him.
Crack! Bang!
This time, a final crack appeared on his body and exploded. The soul body turned into soul energy as it flew in the air.
But, Kim quickly took out Chaos Lamp and absorbed the soul energy into it. Because the amount of soul energy was immense, it took him nearly five minutes to absorb all of the soul energy.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ After absorbing all that energy, he walked back in front of the girls.
"It seems like we need to wait for a moment."
Hearing his words, they looked at him with confusion.
Kim took out the Chaos Lamp and said.
"Because the amount of soul energy it absorbed was immense, it is very close to evolution. Once it evolves, I believe it would be able to absorb the soul of that man with ease."
"Then, do you have any idea?" Neyol asked.
Kim nodded his head.
"I will use my Call of Undead to summon all of these skeletons. Once that happens, a large number of souls will appear from the underworld. I will use the Chaos Lamp to absorb all of that."
"During this process, we might attract some enemies so I want you girls to look out for enemies. Using the Armament Technique, it would be able to hold them off until I finish absorbing all of the low-level souls."
Hearing his words, everyone nodded. Yeosho suddenly turned around and asked.
"Kim, why did your attack hurt him? Although Armament Technique could hold him, it shouldn't be able to kill him, right?"
Kim didn't think too much and instantly answered.
"It's because I use Armament Technique together with Spiritual Pressure. This ability I learned from Master during the last two months. In fact, I never tried it before."
"Only after my body became stronger, I decided to use it. After all, using both at the same time consumes a lot of energy. This is also the reason why Master could create an impact and even destroy things around him just by Spiritual Pressure."
"Oh!"
Everyone understood why his power hurt the souls. After all, Spiritual Pressure was a perfect power that could fight against souls but it would impossible to use Spiritual Pressure to attack someone.
But if the Spiritual Pressure can be merged with the Armament Technique, one can truly attack others.
But after thinking for a while, Neyol frowned and asked.
"Kim, although you made it sound easy, I haven't heard of anyone doing this. Is it really just because of your physical strength?"
This doubt was valid. After all, she has seen several people with greater strength than his. So, it was extremely suspicious that he could do such a thing.
"That girl is correct, Yeosho. Not even Sung Ming was able to do that. Although I believe that man might be able to do this since this kid can do it as well." Tojo's voice rang in Yeosho's head.
Hearing his words, Yeosho frowned and said.
"Tojo told me that even Sung Ming wasn't able to do such a thing and if there is a person who could do it. It must be Master Tengu."
This made everyone confused. Suddenly, Seo Yoon's eyes lit up as she said.
"Maybe it's because we absorb the Spiritual Energy from the surroundings. Since it is possible to merge these, it shouldn't be that nobody has ever tried it. It's should be that nobody could merge it because Armament created out Internal Energy couldn't be merged with Spiritual Pressure."
"Think about it! All three powers are related to each other. Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Power, and Spiritual Pressure. All of them are related to each other. So, it could be possible if we use the Spiritual Armament together with Spiritual Pressure."
Hearing her words, everyone thought for a moment and even Kim nodded his head.
"That could be the reason. After all, Sung Ming was the strongest Martial Emperor which means he should be the ceiling of this world. At least, in most people's eyes."
"In other words, he shouldn't be unable to merge Armament with Spiritual Pressure."
At the same time, Neyol spoke.
"And, that also explains why you need so much strength to merge them. Just using the Spiritual Armament requires a lot of physical strength, not to mention using the combination of Armament and Spiritual Pressure."
"Alright, then, you should try to figure it out while guarding me. I will start absorbing the soul power. And Jun, you need to help me again."
Saying so, Kim turned his head at Jun. She nodded and released her ability once again, putting the trace of her internal energy into special skeletons.
Only then Kim released his Battle Soul and activated the Call of Undead. Upon releasing this ability, he was able to summon the souls of dead people from the underworld.
Unlike in other places, this process was really easy in this place. Because the Ghost Kingdom was perfectly connected with the Underworld. After all, they use the ability to call the souls of the dead in the first place.
But, it didn't mean they can summon all of its soul. After all, doing so will break the balance of the world. Of course, Call of Undead can break this rule.
That's why Kim wasn't worried. He released a lot of Spiritual Power and summoned hundreds of skeletons, making him sweat.
After that, he released the power of Chaos Lamp and started absorbing the Soul Power of those undead.
Of course, he didn't absorb all of their soul powers. He kept those with special powers. Since he had already asked Seo Jun to keep traces of her internal energy in the special skeleton.
It wasn't a hard task for him.
While the Chaos Lamp kept absorbing the soul energy, its level started to rise constantly.
[Your Chaos Lamp has reached level seven]
[Your Chaos Lamp has reached level eight]
[Your Chaos Lamp has reached level nine]
After consuming all of those souls, it reached level nine. Kim gritted his teeth and activate Call of Undead once more, calling nearly fifty souls at once.
This time, he fully released the Chaos Lamp and just after a few minutes, a new notification appeared in front of him.
[Your Chaos Lamp has reached level ten]
[Your Chaos Lamp has reached the criteria for Evolution]
[Would you like to evolve Chaos Lamp]
[Yes] [No]
When he saw that notification, an ecstasy appeared on his face he instantly clicked on 'yes'.
