The Warlord successfully advanced to a five-star title. Along with it came another piece of good news: Su Xiao had permanently obtained the title-burning authority.
After obtaining a five-star title, one could unlock this authority. This was good news, but a title could be burned at most three times. The Warlord could still be burned once more, after which it would reach the limit for this title.
It was basically impossible to further upgrade the Warlord in this world. Based on Su Xiao's experiments, the safest way to increase a title's star rating was to burn five sub-titles of the same star rating. Otherwise, he might waste five sub-titles and one burning attempt for the main title, while the soul coins spent would also go to waste.
Burning titles was expensive. Each attempt cost 50 soul coins for a three-star title and 100 soul coins for a four-star title.
The process went smoothly. As Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he checked the Warlord's attributes.
