Chapter 516: Chapter 284: Artificial Companion Spirit Object - White Tiger

"Damn, it worked, it worked!!!"

Gu Shanhai looked at the newly formed White Tiger, excitement written all over his face.

It had taken Gu Shanhai a year to finally perfect it.

"The style looks much better than the original, at least it’s not as sore on the eyes," Gu Shanhai summoned the White Tiger.

In the very beginning, the so-called White Tiger looked more like a tiger demon with a human body and a tiger head, enveloped in a frigid Demonic Qi, almost indistinguishable from a denizen of the Evil Path, after all, it was a modified Heart Demon substitute, so a bit of fright was normal.

It was only later that he gradually transformed it into the White Tiger’s current form.

"The next step is to load it into the Nine States Instrument."

Now, only the final step remained, to fully integrate it into the Nine States Instrument.

As for the Four Saints Beasts System, it was the same, the Nine States Instrument itself was part of the Four Saints Beasts System’s hardware, and after the White Tiger was loaded, it could connect directly.

The installation process was quite simple. The Four Saints Beasts System could even display an installation progress bar for Gu Shanhai to check.

The installation didn’t take long; it was all set in one minute.

"System, display full data," commanded Gu Shanhai.

A vast array of data appeared in his vision and, upon comparison, Gu Shanhai found that all aspects of the program were successfully integrated.

"With the addition of the White Tiger and the integration of numerous resources, the strength of the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers has increased tenfold at the very least," Gu Shanhai felt the power relayed back from the Daoist Soldiers through military tactics and strategy, and this was just a part of his strength enhancement.

Compared to the Azure Dragon’s multipurpose toolkit, the White Tiger acted more like a large amplification-type support; it didn’t possess many offensive methods on its own.

But after the amplification, it was different. Through the White Tiger, Gu Shanhai integrated all Mana auras, and during battle, the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers could borrow the power of both the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger. In the future, the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise would also be able to form unique powers for the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

Then there was the Military Soul. Once the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers reached a certain number, they could condense a White Tiger Military Soul, essentially a gigantic war beast.

After the emergence of the White Tiger Military Soul, not only could it serve as the main combat force, but it could also form a Military Soul Domain, enhancing the strength and ability effects of all Heart Demon Dao Soldiers. For example, when a Heart Demon Soldier attacked, it could stir up the enemy’s emotions and desires, inflicting damage, and even form tiger-shade strikes to cause secondary damage, adding an effect similar to double hits.

What’s more important was that Gu Shanhai could now utilize all nine abilities of Heart Demon Dao Soldiers, which he couldn’t before, as Heart Demon Dao Soldiers were derived from Divine Skills, involving Spirit Plants to form special summons.

He wasn’t a proper Summoner, so naturally, he couldn’t share the abilities of these summons.

For him, the abilities of Heart Demon Dao Soldiers weren’t all that useful; for Gu Shanhai, it was just icing on the cake, given that he rarely fought. Now, with Daoist Soldiers, he had even less reason to engage in battle himself.

"What’s left is to perfect the ’Thirty-Six Stratagems’ and troop training."

Of course, by troop training, he meant training his Heart Demon Dao Soldiers—what else would it be?

With the White Tiger, his Divine Skills now had a whole new way to become stronger—that was through battle.

As long as they fought, the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers would continuously grow stronger in combat. There would definitely be a cap, but this limit would increase as Gu Shanhai nurtured the artificial companion creature, the White Tiger, to become stronger.

As for the costs of getting stronger, if the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers were in battle, they would prioritize consuming Gu Shanhai’s Mana for replenishment to avoid a "power outage" during combat. Of course, Gu Shanhai could refuse to supply it. But if they were at rest, they would convert their own stored emotions and desires to cover the costs.

Essentially, Gu Shanhai’s Heart Demon Dao Soldiers now had the ability to "level up by farming monsters," a capability given to the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers by the Four Saints Beasts System after integrating the White Tiger into the Nine States Instrument, just like the heroes in the Hero World.

"Now, if I faced Luo Chuan, I should have the strength to fight him," Gu Shanhai said solemnly.

He was, of course, referring to Luo Chuan, who led ten thousand Daoist Soldiers. If it was Luo Chuan with fifty thousand, Gu Shanhai would have to deploy his Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

"The Heart Demon Dao Soldiers need to expand their ranks too; I need at least a hundred thousand."

Before, Gu Shanhai lacked the White Tiger, requiring the refinement of his Spirit Vein. But now things were different. With the White Tiger acting as the core and the support of the Four Saints Beasts System, he could fully support a hundred thousand Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

"The White Tiger needs a boost too; the one now is just as dumb as the Azure Dragon was when it first took shape," Gu Shanhai glanced at the White Tiger acting foolishly within the Nine States Instrument and the curious Azure Dragon circling it. As artificial companion creatures, Spiritual Intelligence was a significant issue.

The Azure Dragon only reached its current level of Spiritual Intelligence thanks to Gu Shanhai’s focused nurturing.

Now that he had the Four Saints Beasts System, nurturing Spiritual Intelligence would be much easier for Gu Shanhai.

He didn’t need to worry about the White Tiger’s strength training either—it was just a matter of additional resource expenditure, which was no big shake.

Currently, Jiang Lu occupied the territory of seven states within Dalong, making him the second force within Dalong.

The first force was, of course, Luo Chuan, who now held the power over the thirteen states of Dalong, having proclaimed himself Prince Xi, taking on the titles of Prime Minister, and a position akin to a Grand Preceptor.
