128: Chapter 128 Holy Spirit Priest

Commander Lin Yu was slightly stunned, a flash of surprise flitting through her clear eyes, which then transformed into bright delight!

She immediately understood what Lin Tian meant, and the little bit of expectation she had been silently burying in her heart was instantly ignited.

Without the slightest hesitation, she trotted forward and stood still in front of Lin Tian; because of her excitement, a lovely flush rose on her cheeks.

"Lord!" Her voice was much crisper than usual. She looked up at Lin Tian, her eyes full of trust and a gleam of eagerness. "I... I am ready!"

Seeing this young woman, who had always been silently contributing, show such an expression, Lin Tian felt warm inside.

Without further ado, he flipped his palm, and a crystal stone the size of a fist appeared in his hand; it was suffused with a sky-blue halo, as if tides were surging within it, and it emitted a fresh and majestic aura of life.

Lin Tian communicated with his talent, carefully guiding out the pure, gentle source of water elements contained within the crystal—which held the powers of "Nourishment," "Purification," and "Life Tide"—and slowly pushed it toward Commander Lin Yu.

"Hum..."

A soft, azure radiance, like ocean waves gently caressing a beach, bloomed with Commander Lin Yu at its center!

The light was warm but not blinding, carrying moist water vapor and a fresh scent, gently wrapping around her entire being.

In the light, Commander Lin Yu's figure seemed to be bathed in the halo of the deep sea.

The iconic light green knee-length dress she wore seemed to be washed and reshaped by the purest seawater; its material became lighter and more elegant, and its color transformed into a more holy and graceful interweaving of blue and white. The hem and cuffs were embroidered with lifelike snow lotus patterns using sky-blue silk threads, and those petals, under the reflection of the azure radiance, seemed to be swaying gently with invisible waves, remarkably vivid.

The short staff in her hand, inlaid with a snow-white gemstone the size of a pigeon egg, was also completely enveloped by the azure radiance.

The gemstone at the top seemed to melt, turning into a purer stream of light that completely merged into the staff body.

The entire staff transformed accordingly, presenting a deep and serene sky-blue color throughout, and the simple vine patterns on the staff were replaced by more profound and fluid water-like patterns.

It was as if invisible spring water was circulating inside the staff, emitting soft and powerful healing fluctuations.

After a few breaths, the azure radiance receded gently like an ebbing tide, fully merging into Commander Lin Yu's body.

A brand new, graceful figure, with an even holier, gentler temperament that seemed capable of encompassing and healing everything, stood tall.

Lin Tian couldn't wait to open her troop panel.

[Fusion successful, Holy Healing Priest → Holy Spirit Priest]

[Troop Quality: Superior High-Grade → Epic High-Grade]

[Growth Potential: Platinum 9-star]

[Current Level: silver 9-star (synchronized upgrade)]

[New Skill]:

Azure Sea Tide: When activating the skill, it can disperse energy containing life and holy powers in the form of a vast ocean tide toward a fan-shaped area in front.

Wherever the tide passes, all friendly soldiers within the range will be continuously and powerfully healed of their wounds, have their status restored, and have most abnormal effects (poisoning, curses, weakness, etc.) dispelled.

The healing effect, range of influence, and duration depend on Commander Lin Yu's own strength and the amount of energy invested in that skill usage.

During the peak period of the tide coverage, friendly units will gain a brief "Tidal Protection," slightly increasing their damage resistance.

"Azure Sea Tide... Area healing, continuous recovery, group dispel, and it even comes with some damage reduction..."

Lin Tian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but slap his thigh. "Good! Excellent! This is simply a strategic-level group heal tailored for large-scale legion warfare! In the future, when fighting tough battles, the brothers will charge in, with a 'Azure Sea Tide' following behind; won't their survivability skyrocket?"

He looked at Commander Lin Yu, whose temperament had greatly changed, and felt genuinely happy.

The healer role—she really went all the way with it and even reached the pinnacle!

A powerful healing core capable of covering the battlefield is worth no less than a formidable assault commander.

Commander Lin Yu herself felt the surging, gentle, yet majestic power within her, which was completely different from before. Along with the powerful new skill in her mind, her face was brimming with irrepressible joy and excitement.

She gripped the sky-blue staff flowing with water patterns in her hand and bowed deeply to Lin Tian, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Tha... Thank you, Lord! Commander Lin Yu will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Lin Tian waved his hand with a smile. "It is what you deserve. Alright, go and get familiar with your new power; from now on, the brothers' lives will rely on you even more."

Watching Commander Lin Yu's magnificent transformation in the azure radiance, feeling the healing fluctuations emanating from her that were several times more majestic and gentle than before, and considering the newly added "Azure Sea Tide," which could be called a divine skill for legions, the last bit of hesitation Lin Tian had regarding resource consumption instantly vanished.

Worth it! It was so worth it!

"As expected, strengthening healing is always one of the most cost-effective investments!"

Lin Tian slapped his thigh, an undisguised expression of joy on his face.

His gaze swept over the Holy Healing Priests around him, who had also paid a great price in the bloody battle last night and were now looking at him with eyes mixed with fatigue and expectation.

"What are we waiting for?"

He grinned, his eyes flashing with the decisive gleam of "Let's do it!" and instructed Commander Lin Yu, "Commander Lin Yu, go, gather the two thousand highest-level and most experienced Holy Healing Priest sisters under your command!"

"Yes! Lord!"

Commander Lin Yu had just obtained new power and was feeling surging emotions; upon hearing this, she immediately turned around and issued the order in a clear and encouraging voice.

Soon, two thousand Holy Healing Priests with gentle and holy temperaments, holding staffs, lined up neatly on one side of the square; their eyes held anxiety, but also a desire for strength similar to Commander Lin Yu's.

Lin Tian once again brought out the "gold-swallowing beast"—the mirror of replication.

Looking at the dwindling stock of water element crystals in his storage space, and then at those two thousand expectant eyes, he gritted his teeth. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained! As for the mid-level spirit crystals, I'll just earn more after spending them!"

mid-level spirit crystals were tossed into the mirror as if they were worthless, and the mirror's surface shimmered with endless seven-colored radiance.

One by one, water element crystals emitting a fresh aura of life were replicated and piled up to the side, soon forming a small mountain shimmering with a pale blue halo.

"Start Fusion!"

Following Lin Tian's order, a majestic and gentle azure radiance lit up on a large scale once again in the open space at the center of Lin Tian City!

Two thousand soft blue pillars of light shot into the sky, then slowly receded, turning into specks of healing starlight that merged into the bodies of every priest.

When the light completely dissipated, those standing there were no longer simple Holy Healing Priests.

Instead, they were two thousand Holy Spirit Priests, dressed in blue and white holy robes, with swaying snow lotuses embroidered on their hems, holding sky-blue staffs flowing with water patterns, and radiating reassuring, tide-like healing fluctuations!

Two thousand Epic-grade healing cores!

Just by them standing together, the gathered aura of life and purification seemed to make the air around them, scorched by the flames of war, feel a bit fresher and more moist.
