Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Forcibly taking control of the bodies of eleven Corpse Puppets, Lu Chuan held them in place.

Next, Tyrant One extended its powerful claw blades, fiercely piercing the back of these Corpse Puppets' heads, extracting the Tier 3 Crystal Cores one by one.

After acquiring eleven Tier 3 Crystal Cores, Lu Chuan naturally needed to consider which four Tier 3 Corpse Puppets to upgrade.

He currently commands quite a number of Tier 3 Corpse Puppets, a total of ten, including Da Pang, Tyrant One, Flame One, among others.

After thinking it over, Lu Chuan ultimately decided to allocate the first batch of Tier 4 promotion spots to Tyrant One, Er Pang, Flame One, and Earth Escape One.

There are reasons for such a choice, of course.

The Corpse Puppets under his command can roughly be categorized into four types: those like Da Pang and Er Pang, which are Tank Type Corpse Puppets. These are not only qualified as meat shields but also possess incredible strength with destructive power.

Another type is Tyrant One, which boasts balanced attributes like speed, power, and attack capability; it's an all-rounder that can both endure and fight.

The third type is Agile Type like Lightning One, which relies on extreme speed and sharp blades to kill enemies swiftly.

The last type, of course, is Magic Type like Flame One and Earth Escape One.

Among them, Lu Chuan initially ruled out Agile Types like Lightning One for the available spots.

Agile Types like Lightning One, despite their incredible speed and lethal sharp blades, resemble assassins with a single deadly strike, followed by quick retreats.

That's Lightning One's advantage, but its weaknesses include poor strength and low defensive capability.

Especially when confronted with Tier 4 Evolvers possessing binding abilities, their speed advantage becomes useless, and their weak physical strength can't break free from restraints.

Additionally, due to the issue of insufficient defense, it's likely they will quickly lose their combat effectiveness when the defense is breached by enemies.

Corpse Puppets like Tyrant One and Er Pang possess far superior defensive abilities compared to Lightning One, and their strength is vastly different.

Even if they encounter previous Tier 4 Evolvers, they can forcibly break free from the restraints with their strength, while their robust defense allows them to engage in prolonged combat.

As for Flame One and Earth Escape One, which are Magic Types, there's no need to mention them; they must rank above Lightning One!

How could a mere assassin like Lightning One ever compare with us Mages?

Of course, Lu Chuan chose Flame One and Earth Escape One also to see if their abilities will evolve after promotion.

Flame One might transform into a true Mage instead of relying on a single Fireball, effortlessly wielding various Fire Skills.

And for Earth Escape One, he wanted to see if it could evolve from Earth Escape to a real Earth Mage.

Besides Earth Escape, it might also use other Earth Magic.

After confirming the promotion candidates, Lu Chuan wasn't in a hurry to promote the four Corpse Puppets here; he decided to wait until returning to the farm for promotion.

Lu Chuan, accompanied by his Corpse Puppets, got into the vehicle.

A moment later, the convoy drove past the Bloodthirsty Vine Wall, stopping outside the stone courtyard wall of the farm.

Controlling the four Corpse Puppets, Tyrant One, Er Pang, Flame One, Earth Escape One, they lined up on the vacant land.

In a few breaths, the four Corpse Puppets had devoured the Tier 3 Crystal Cores.

Instantly, the enormous energy from the Crystal Cores rampaged within their bodies, continuously crashing and clashing, washing over their organs, blood, and bones, all subjected to the wild baptism of energy.

This energy resembled massive sea waves in a storm, while the four Corpse Puppets seemed like a lone leaf in the ocean, swaying intensely amidst the energy surges.

Under the nourishment and refinement of abundant energy, the evolution of the four Corpse Puppets formally commenced.

Roar Roar Roar~

Tyrant One and Er Pang, the physically strong and robust Corpse Puppets, stood in place, their bodies unable to stop trembling, fierce pain making them emit piercing screams.

Flame One and Earth Escape One exhibited even poorer conditions than Tyrant One, their legs kneeling on the ground, bodies shaking violently, issuing trembling roars.

Flame One's body ignited with fierce flames, appearing like a giant Fireball, radiating endless heat and light.

Earth Escape One, however, emitted earthy-colored light, the dust on the ground inexplicably attracted, transforming into a fluid state, spreading upwards from its feet, gradually covering Earth Escape One entirely.

In a few breaths, Earth Escape One appeared completely as a zombie composed of dirt, resembling a clay figure.

As time passed, the transformation of the four Corpse Puppets finally reached its endpoint.

Roar~

Four deafening roars reverberated across the skies of Qingshui Farm.

Tyrant One's size had seen a considerable increase compared to Tier 3, reaching nearly five meters tall, towering over a single story.

Its physique was well-built, enveloped in bulging muscles, like forged from steel, and its pair of claw blades became thicker and longer, emitting a cold gleam.

The key areas like its brain, neck, joints, and chest grew a layer of hard black armor, making Tyrant One appear extremely terrifying and ferocious.

Er Pang's form also evolved, becoming taller and more robust, akin to a small hill, standing at about two zhangs high, comparable to a two-story building, stomping the ground with booming sounds as it walked.

Most crucially, the black scales covering Er Pang's body now exhibited a metallic sheen, appearing extremely hard.

Flame One and Earth Escape One's physiques didn't undergo substantial changes, but they didn't appear composed of flesh anymore.

Flame One glowed with fire, appearing as if made of endless flames, while Earth Escape One looked more like a clay figure, radiating a heavy earth essence.

"Finally Tier 4!"

Looking at the four Tier 4 Corpse Puppets in front of him, Lu Chuan's face radiated joy.

Subsequently, Lu Chuan tested the abilities of the four Corpse Puppets individually.

The transformation of Tyrant One's body didn't require much explanation; its most surprising aspect was the acquisition of long-range attack capabilities, with its sharp claw blades now able to detach and shoot out like arrows.

Er Pang's black scale armor offered explosive defense, as Lu Chuan's full-strength sword swing only left a shallow groove, and even bullets bounced off leaving dents.

Flame One and Earth Escape One, as expected by Lu Chuan, had evolved into genuine Mages.

Capable of using multiple spells, no longer limited like before.

"Great, great, great, this is like trading birdguns for cannons!"

Understanding the significant power enhancement of the four Tier 4 Corpse Puppets, Lu Chuan felt immense joy, knowing these Corpse Puppets significantly boosted his strength.
