Perhaps because Wu Tong had helped awaken almost all the Martial Spirits for the group members, analyzing their abilities didn't take him much effort.
However, he encountered some difficulties when analyzing the Martial Spirits of others.
Still, this wasn't a major issue. Even with the challenges, they could be resolved.
Fortunately, after the awakening ceremony, Wu Tong successfully collected all the Martial Spirits he desired.
Now, stored within his database were the following Martial Spirits:
Fu Hua's Shield of Protection (Indomitable Will, Unbreakable Shield).
March 7th's Astral Express (A pioneering artifact capable of traversing worlds).
He Xi's Microcosm Computer (With potential to evolve into a Cosmic Computer, Multiversal Computer…).
Kanna's Gourmet Tree (Produces various foods; gains culinary enhancements with Spirit Rings).
Gabriel's Game World (A pocket dimension where games can be loaded, allowing the user to enter and grow stronger through gameplay).
Xiao Yan's Worldbreaker Gate (Born from his longing for home, this Martial Spirit enables interdimensional travel).
Zhongli's Absolute Contract (A binding pact; those less than three tiers below Zhongli's power cannot defy its terms).
Group Leader Gu Ruoli's Infinite Sigil (Can borrow others' powers and abilities, becoming a "Debt King").
Rimuru's Utopia World (A customizable world where inhabitants cannot defy its rules, born from Rimuru's desire for utopia).
Zhang Chulan's Seal Breaker (Nullifies all restrictions; as strength grows, it can even break heavenly laws and cultivation bottlenecks…).
Tsukasa Kadoya's World ID Card (Integrates into any world, granting a legitimate identity without risk of expulsion).
These incredibly versatile Martial Spirits now lay quietly within Wu Tong's database.
"Who would've thought that a Martial Spirit system I once overlooked could harbor such terrifying potential?"
He Xi gazed at the Microcosm Computer Martial Spirit in her hand, its depths resembling an entire universe. Her eyes shimmered with awe as she marveled at its computational power, which far surpassed her own Skybase Computing Cluster. At the same time, she reflected on her past arrogance with newfound humility.
"Exactly. I never imagined the Martial Spirit system I once dismissed could be this powerful. If I'd known, I would've awakened mine sooner."
Gu Ruoli nodded in agreement, clutching her Infinite Sigil, which contained power imprints from He Xi, Gabriel, Zhongli, and Xiao Yan. All her worries for the future had vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of security.
Since Gu Ruoli's Spirit Power was only at the 40th rank, she could currently store only four power imprints. Moreover, due to her limited strength, she couldn't fully utilize their abilities. Even so, she was utterly satisfied.
After all, with this Martial Spirit, she could finally embark on her long-coveted path of "borrowing" power. Ever since witnessing the exploits of Kamen Riders like Decade, Orb, and Zi-O, Gu Ruoli had been fascinated by the concept of power debt. Now, her dream had come true. Overjoyed, she kissed the sigil on her arm.
Eww—
The others shot her looks of disdain.
"Hehe…"
Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan grinned mischievously at his own Martial Spirit. After briefly composing himself, he sneaked off to a secluded corner with his Seal Breaker, glancing around to ensure no one was watching.
Then, he pulled down his pants.
He pressed the Martial Spirit against the Shou Gong Sha (Chastity Seal) on his body.
…
A short while later, Zhang Chulan emerged, looking refreshed and triumphant.
As the saying goes, good fortune brings joy.
And that perfectly described Zhang Chulan at this moment.
...
After experimenting with their Martial Spirits, the others opened the group shop, exchanged points for the Spirit Ring Condensation Method and Divine Ring Master Cultivation Technique, and sat cross-legged to begin their training.
'Looks like the results are good. Not pricing these methods based on the group shop's valuation was the right call.'
Seeing even newcomers like Xiao Yan and the others afford the two techniques, Wu Tong sighed in relief.
His goal had never been to accumulate points but to promote the cultivation system he'd created.
While Wu Tong's personal point reserves weren't astronomical, they were far from meager. If he wanted, he could easily exchange advanced technologies or handcrafted resources for a massive influx of points.
Thus, points meant little to him.
What truly mattered were the rewards from the world and the chat group. By spreading this cultivation system—a path that led straight to the ninth rank—he could catalyze the world's ascension.
As the creator of this system, Wu Tong would naturally receive generous rewards once the world ascended.
And what could a world's consciousness offer that wasn't invaluable?
So, after the group shop provided its valuation, Wu Tong ignored it and set a reasonable price himself, ensuring every member could afford the two techniques.
Though no one had shown interest after he uploaded them, that wasn't a problem.
Gold will always shine.
And now, the results spoke for themselves.
His approach had been correct.
Seeing everyone immersed in cultivation, Wu Tong lazily stretched and stopped paying attention.
He retreated to a room, summoned a large bed, changed into pajamas, and collapsed onto it.
Within moments, he was fast asleep.
As for the others training outside, the spatial barrier ensured no zombies could intrude, making their cultivation environment perfectly safe.
Time Flows—Day 3 of the Highschool of the Dead Instance
Morning
Top Floor of the Mall
"Haha, Xiao Yan, check this out—impressive, huh?"
Early in the morning, Zhang Chulan, having finished his training, sought out Xiao Yan with his four black Spirit Rings still active, eager to show off the progress he'd made overnight.
