In particular, the [Spirit Field Furnace Core] is still at LV1, and it is an upgradable spiritual technique.
The potential is certainly far more than that.
Therefore, Zhongli was very satisfied with the adapted spiritual arts evolved from the source of spirituality.
In addition to gaining supernatural powers and spiritual arts, Zhongli's own strength was also enhanced, and he was judged by the system to be a lower-level spiritual arts master.
As for what constitutes a lower-level spiritualist.
It is through spiritual power that the physical body is cleansed to reach the limits of mortals.
Only those who use cultivation-type spiritual techniques to construct a spiritual energy circulation system in their meridians and dantian, and who also learn a destructive spiritual technique, can be called lower-level spiritual masters.
Moreover, even a lower-level spiritualist can exert a force of over one ton with their normal physical condition.
If one uses spiritual power for basic enhancement, their physical attributes can more than double.
Of course, physical strength is not important. What is most important for a spiritualist is the spiritual magic powered by spiritual energy, whose destructive power far surpasses the destruction of the physical body.
Zhong Li was able to become a lower-level spiritualist so quickly.
It was entirely him; he had already honed his body to the limits of ordinary people.
In addition, the [Spirit Field Furnace Core] helps to construct the spiritual power circulation system, and supernatural abilities can also be considered a kind of innate spiritual technique.
He had only just stepped into the ranks of a lower-level spiritualist.
Otherwise, they can only be called psychics who simply manipulate spiritual power, beginners, or awakened ones.
The combat power they can unleash is only at the limit of ordinary people.
Zhongli also figured out that the corpse demon he had killed earlier was in the stage of transitioning from a primary supernatural being to a secondary supernatural being.
After understanding his own situation, Zhongli opened the system panel to check the changes to other functions.
【System Panel】
[Host]: Zhong Li
[Race]: Human
[Realm Level]: Lower-level Spirit Master (Combat strength equivalent to a building, capable of destroying reinforced concrete buildings.)
[Divine Power]: Tears of the Void
[Spiritual Technique]: Lingtian Furnace Heart LV1
[Skills]: Cooking LV5, Comics LV5, Creation LV5, Knowledge LV5, Fitness LV5, Climbing LV5, Parkour LV5, Evasion LV5, Grappling LV5, Combat LV5, Assassination LV5, Shooting LV5, Weaponry LV5, Chemistry LV5, Explosives LV5, Oxygen Breathing LV5, Knife Skills LV5, Driving Skills LV5, Hacking LV5, Medical Skills LV5.
The system panel, with its four newly added sections, looked quite simple, and Zhong Li nodded secretly.
Then, my gaze shifted to the paranormal missions section added by the system.
[Supernatural Mission Trigger Section]
[Task: Not triggered yet]
Zhongli stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"It seems that if I want to get the mission rewards and become stronger, I have to go and find supernatural events myself."
Without hesitation, Zhongli got up and went to the kitchen, intending to find something to fill his stomach before taking action.
But as soon as they entered the kitchen, an ugly, humanoid spirit slowly emerged from the wall.
Zhongli:?
Without any hesitation, he unleashed a punch imbued with spiritual energy.
The humanoid spirit didn't utter a sound and immediately vanished into nothingness.
Then there is no more then.
Zhongli waited for a long time, but the task was not triggered or the reward was not given.
"No, isn't this humanoid spirit a paranormal event?"
Or was it that I acted too quickly, and the system didn't react in time?
With doubts in mind, Zhongli grabbed some bread and milk and went out.
While eating to fill their stomachs, they searched for wandering spirits.
In the information he collected about small countries, wandering spirits and the like were practically everywhere.
It's just that ordinary people can't see them, and weak spirits can't interfere with ordinary people.
That's why human society has always been so peaceful.
…………late at night…………
Zhong Li wandered around most of Chiyoda Ward and returned with a cold face.
Well, aside from his fanatical face during battles, he always had a cold expression.
Because those wandering spirits outside, as well as slightly stronger spirits that can affect ordinary people, cannot trigger the mission.
Left with no other option, Zhongli tried asking the system and finally learned the reason.
"Does a paranormal event of the same level as mine need to trigger a paranormal mission?"
That's really a rip-off.
Looks like I need to find some famous haunted locations to trigger the quest.
The intensity of this task is not so easy to judge.
If he were to trigger a supernatural mission that he is currently no match for, he would probably be killed on the spot.
Zhong Li knew very well that he was not powerful at all in the supernatural world.
Randomly triggering a notorious haunted place could truly be fatal.
"It seems I'll have to find a way to gather accurate information about the haunted place tomorrow."
After making the decision, Zhongli washed up and began to rest.
The inner spiritual field furnace was also silently operating, absorbing spiritual energy, transforming it into spiritual power, and cleansing the physical body to continue strengthening it.
P.S.: New book launch! Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings! I'm begging for your support!
Chapter 5: A fellow villager, a spiritualist, marvels at the prodigy.
The next day, Sakura Joint School, Class 1, Grade 2.
Zhong Li arrived at the classroom early and sat in the last seat by the window.
As soon as I sat down, I silently clenched my fist to savor the rewards of an entire night of automatic cultivation.
"It increases force by more than 60 kilograms in one night, which translates to more than 100 kilograms of force per day, and a ton of pure force in 10 days."
At this rate of spiritual energy purging, a lower-level spiritualist's physical attributes can increase tenfold in about 100 days.
Reaching the physical requirements for breaking through to the intermediate level of a spiritual mage is still too slow.
Although compared to ordinary people, this is already an incredibly terrifying improvement.
But after understanding the dangers of the world, Zhongli was no longer satisfied with such a slow and arduous cultivation process.
At the very least, it must be equivalent to the lifting of restrictions in the world.
I just don't know at what level the restrictions will be lifted.
During the period when Zhongli felt his own power increase.
The students in the class arrived one after another, including many familiar faces to Zhong Li, all of whom were characters from slice-of-life anime.
For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hyodo Michiru are characters from the novel "Saekano: The Return of the Condor Heroes".
For example, the characters played by Fuyumi Irisu, Houtarou Oreki, Satoshi Fukube, Mayaka Ito, and Hyouka.
For example, Sakuta Azusagawa, and Mai Sakurajima, who often skips school, are characters from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.
For example, characters like Saionji Sekai, Aoura Setsuna, Kanroji Nanami, Kuroda Hikaru, and others from a certain school in Japan.
It is because of these characters that Zhongli always believes that this world is just a slice-of-life anime crossover.
At most, it might be a bit like the supernatural phenomena of puberty syndrome, but it's not a big deal.
Who knew the world would be so magical, actually bringing about a spiritual revival.
If he hadn't been so capable, he probably would have been dead yesterday.
While Zhongli was deep in thought, two more girls entered the classroom.
Her black hair was tied up in a Taoist nun's bun, with only bangs left on her forehead. Her simple yet delicate face was adorned with a faint smile, radiating vitality.
She had long, emerald-green hair cascading over her shoulders, bright green eyes, and skin as pale as paper. Coupled with her slightly cold expression, she had an eerie quality.
The two walked into the classroom hand in hand, looking like best friends, which quieted everyone down a bit.
Many of them looked at the girl with emerald green hair, their eyes filled with fear.
It made the girl's eyes dim slightly.
But when he saw Zhong Li in the back row, his eyes brightened again, and a faint smile appeared on his slightly cold lips.
The two entered the classroom, and the green-haired girl sat down at the desk next to Zhongli and greeted him.
"Good morning, Brother Zhong."
The black-haired girl sat in front of Zhong Li and asked curiously.
"Zhongli, why did you arrive so quickly today? This isn't like you."
Zhong Li nodded in response to Chen Miaomiao's greeting.
Good morning, Miaomiao.
Then he looked at Zhang Jinglan and complained.
"It's not unusual to eat early, after all, I'm the top student in the whole school."
Chen Miaomiao, a girl with green hair, and Zhang Jinglan, a girl with black hair, are both international students from China.
Therefore, Zhongli had an excellent relationship with both of them.
Zhang Jinglan rolled her eyes at Zhong Li's boasting about being an outstanding student.
What kind of outstanding student is he who knows all kinds of fighting skills, carries compressed explosives, and has a criminal organization under his command?
However, before Zhang Jinglan could even complain...
Chen Miaomiao, standing to the side, looked at Zhong Li with surprise, her eyes flashing slightly.
"Brother Zhong, have you finally awakened?!"
At this moment, Zhongli appeared to Chen Miaomiao like a vortex, slowly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
This is a sign that only appears when a spiritualist is practicing.
Zhong Li hadn't reacted yet when he heard Chen Miaomiao's words.
Zhang Jinglan quickly used her Spirit Observation Technique to check, and then exclaimed...
"As expected of you, Zhongli."
Upon awakening, one is already at the level of a lower-level spiritualist.
"How do you possess a cultivation technique for spiritual power?"
Normally, a person who has just awakened their spirituality cannot cultivate without a cultivation method or guidance from others.
After hearing what the two women said, Zhong Li finally realized what was happening and looked at them in surprise.
"Are you two spirit mediums?"
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Jinglan nodded.
Upon receiving confirmation, Zhongli's expression was exceptionally complex.
Good heavens, the fellow villager he studied with for over a year turned out to be a spiritualist.
It's unbelievable that he didn't notice anything amiss at all.
