91: Chapter 91 Golden Armored Spear Guards

Even if it cannot directly trigger a massive change in a unit's form like the Fusion of physical materials, being able to strengthen its original characteristics or even bestow new energy attributes is still a massive improvement!

"Action speaks louder than words! Practice is the only way to find out!" After wolfing down the rest of his food in a few bites and wiping his mouth, his gaze instinctively fell on Lin Yin, who was sitting beside him, elegantly eating vegetables in small bites.

Seeming to sense his gaze, Lin Yin looked up, her clear eyes filled with inquiry.

"Lin Yin." Lin Tian leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice with an eager excitement, "I have a task for you."

"Please give your orders, Brother Tian." Lin Yin immediately put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and looked focused.

"After dinner, go find Lin Feng and have him select two hundred of the highest-level brothers from the Heavy Armored Spearmen under his command to gather immediately at the martial arts field in front of the Lords Mansion." Lin Tian spoke quickly but clearly. "Then, you also pick six hundred of the most elite from your Moon Shadow Archer unit and bring them along!"

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Yin's eyes, but she never hesitated for a moment regarding Lin Tian's orders. She didn't ask "why," but simply went over the status of the Archers under her command in her mind before nodding briskly. "Yes, I'll go as soon as I finish eating."

After a while, she stood up, her moon-white figure appearing exceptionally graceful in the noisy cafeteria. After taking a few steps, she looked back at Lin Tian as if worried, her lips moving as if she wanted to ask, "What about you?" but in the end, she only softly urged, "Brother Tian, go back to the mansion and rest for a while. I'll bring the people over soon."

Watching Lin Yin's light yet swift departure from the cafeteria entrance, Lin Tian smiled.

This girl was always so attentive.

He indeed needed some time to return to the Lords Mansion to prepare a bit, calm his excited heart, and carefully think through the details of the Fusion.

He stood up and nodded to Lin Yan and Commander Lin Yu, who were also dining nearby, then left the still-boisterous cafeteria alone, walking toward the Lords Mansion that looked exceptionally peaceful in the twilight.

As the twilight deepened, the last rays of sunset cast a dark gold silhouette over Lintian City.

On the broad martial arts field newly leveled in front of the Lords Mansion, torches and magic crystal lamps were lit one after another, illuminating the area as bright as day. They also reflected the eight hundred elite soldiers standing solemnly: two hundred Heavy Armored Spearmen on the left and six hundred Moon Shadow Archers on the right. It was silent, with only the sound of the night wind snapping against the banners and flames.

Lin Yin and Lin Feng stood on either side in front of the ranks.

Lin Yin's moon-white figure appeared even colder under the firelight. She calmly scanned the six hundred Archers she had selected, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the limb of her moonlight longbow.

Lin Feng stood as firm as a mountain, his Red Sun Battle Armor glinting with a dark red light in the firelight. He gazed steadily at Lin Tian ahead, waiting for instructions.

Lin Tian stood on the high platform in the center of the field, looking down at these eight hundred battle-hardened, fierce young men. His heart was full of expectation, but also a hint of caution before the experiment.

On the small table before him, two small piles of crystal stones were neatly arranged: one pile of gold crystals with flowing golden light and an internal aura of sharpness, and another pile of wood crystal stones, shimmering with green light and vibrant vitality.

Under the firelight, they emitted enticing and powerful energy fluctuations.

His gaze slowly swept across the left and right formations, finally pointing at two people at random. "You, step out. And you, step out."

An exceptionally burly Heavy Armored Spearman, whose aura had reached Silver 3-Star, and a female Moon Shadow Archer with eyes as sharp as a hawk and a lithe figure, stepped out in response. They strode to the base of the platform and knelt on one knee. "Please give your orders, Lord!"

Lin Tian nodded and first walked to the Heavy Armored Spearman.

He took out a gold crystal. It was the size of a fist and felt heavy in his hand. Inside, it seemed as if liquid golden sunlight was slowly swirling, emitting a sharp sensation that made the skin tingle slightly.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he connected with his Fusion talent, which had already been promoted to "Intermediate."

"Relax, accept this power," Lin Tian said to the determined Spearman, then slowly pressed the guided golden energy stream against the armor on his chest.

Hum!

The moment the energy touched the armor, a dazzling golden brilliance suddenly erupted!

The light did not spread out like an explosion; instead, as if it were alive, it instantly enveloped the Spearman completely, forming a constantly rotating light cocoon with sharp golden light flowing inside!

From within the cocoon came low, clanging sounds, as if metal were being forged and quenched, along with the faint friction of armor components colliding and reshaping.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to it. Lin Feng subconsciously took half a step forward, a golden-red battle intent flickering in his eyes—both alert and curious.

Lin Yin slightly tightened her grip on her bow, her clear eyes staring unblinkingly at the light cocoon. She then shot a quick glance at Lin Tian, and only after confirming he was fine did she continue to pay attention.

After a few breaths, the golden light suddenly withdrew, merging into the soldier's body as quickly as if absorbed by a sponge.

As the light faded, a brand-new figure stood in place.

It was still the same soldier, but his temperament was now completely different. He was no longer wearing the original heavy silver iron armor, but a set of deep-colored, dark gold heavy metal armor with sharper and more fluid lines!

The steel long spear in his hand had also transformed into a strange form of interwoven silver and gold, covered with a layer of flowing dark gold. Cold light and sharpness coexisted; just holding it there gave a sense of indestructible sharpness.

It carried a unique, skin-tightening metallic sharpness.

"How do you feel?" Lin Tian asked impatiently, while simultaneously opening the unit panel.

The soldier moved his arms, the dark gold armor making a low, pleasant scraping sound. A surge of surprise and powerful self-confidence erupted in his eyes. He knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice, "Reporting to the Lord! I feel... my strength has greatly increased, my body is lighter, but my defense seems stronger! And... there is an incomparably sharp power within my body!"

[Fusion Successful! Heavy Armored Spearman → Golden Armored Spearman]

[Unit Quality: advanced excellence → Epic High-Grade]

[Growth Potential: Platinum 9-Star]

[Current Level: Silver 3-Star (Synchronized Upgrade)]

[New Skill]: Golden Spirit Power

Active Effect: When activated, attacks gain powerful "Sharpness" and "Bleeding" traits. The wounds caused are extremely difficult to heal, resulting in continuous life loss. Attack power is significantly increased under the blessing of Golden Spirit Power.

Passive Effect: The golden armor gains the "Self-Repair" trait. After being damaged, it can slowly absorb free-floating gold elements from the air or repair itself by consuming a small amount of its own energy. In its normal state, resistance to physical attacks and gold-type spells is significantly enhanced.
