Looking at his base strength value of 224 points, Wang Zheng felt even more excited about his attributes after his transformation into a mortal.

Composing himself, Wang Zheng continued reading.

Following the five-dimensional attributes are the three basic functions.

[Basic functions: Scan (2), Storage (1), Upgrade (1)]

That precious little bit of basic functionality improvement was ultimately used by Wang Zheng for scanning.

Although he thought about scanning and upgrading for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade the scanning function after seeing his spiritual energy limit of 550,000.

As for storage, the 1000 cubic meter space is not large overall, but it's barely enough.

Moreover, he won't be traveling far in the near future, so there's no need for him to rush into improving his skills right now.

Wang Zheng had thought it through clearly: the upgrade could only be used for the horizontal training method and the visualization method at present.

According to the data panel display of these two techniques, the proficiency level is always multiplied by 100. Even if you start from level one and add up to level ten, you will only get 5500 proficiency points.

At that time, upgrading a basic skill from level 0 to level 1 only resulted in reducing the maximum spiritual energy per point of proficiency from 10 points to 5 points.

If you choose to invest those precious basic points in leveling up now, even if the ratio of proficiency to maximum spiritual energy changes from 1:5 to 1:1, you'll only save a little bit of maximum spiritual energy.

Moreover, judging from Wang Zheng's usual approach to this panel, it's really uncertain whether a 1:1 ratio will be possible.

With my current spiritual energy reserves, am I really lacking that little bit of spiritual energy?

Wang Zheng asked himself honestly, and he knew he could afford to waste this bit of talent.

Therefore, Wang Zheng ultimately chose to scan other people's information.

After all, although the scan cannot bring him a substantial increase in combat power, it can often have a surprising effect in many situations.

Although the scanning level has been upgraded to level two, it doesn't have any extra functions when he's at home looking at his parents. Wang Zheng guesses that it will only react when he sees Bai Meixi or a strange beast when he goes back to school.

After improving his basic skills, Wang Zheng looked at his already agile (450/500) horizontal training method and minor success (2/400) visualization method and directly chose to max them out, then closed his eyes and started typing away.

This upgrade also allowed Wang Zheng to learn the names of the subsequent realms of the cultivation technique for the first time.

Following the fifth level of agility are mastery, great achievement, perfection, awakening, and transcendence.

The required proficiency level was as he predicted, ranging from 600 to 1000 points.

To fully master the Horizontal Training Method, a total of 4050 proficiency points are required, which consumes points of the maximum spiritual energy.

The visualization method requires 4898 proficiency points, which consumes some of the maximum spiritual energy.

The ultimate result of spending a lot of spiritual energy was to upgrade both cultivation techniques to the top level.

Five Beasts Body Training Method: Transcendent Realm (1000/1000) Increases Constitution, Strength, Intelligence, Spirit, and Agility by 25 points each. [To be further studied]

Visualization Technique: Transcendent Realm (1000/1000) grants an additional 50 points of Spiritual Power. [To be explored further]

Visualized object: 狰 (zheng), visualization realization progress 90%.

Special effects: (omitted)

After the cultivation technique is upgraded to the highest level, the additional attribute boosts gained are terrifyingly high.

Although the data generated by the cultivation technique was not included in the basic attributes on the data panel, Wang Zheng could still feel that his body had been greatly improved.

Putting everything else aside, just the 75 points of mental strength boost from the two cultivation techniques alone made Wang Zheng feel that if he were to encounter Ruan Ruan, who had special mental abilities, again, he would definitely not be affected by her.

Furthermore, the original "Upgradeable" status in both techniques has been changed to "Awaiting Comprehension," and the font is grayed out.

Although Wang Zheng guessed that it might be a method where, after perfecting a cultivation technique, one needs to develop their own insights and comprehend its fundamental mysteries, he wasn't sure.

After all, there was no reaction after he hit the mental energy point.

Wang Zheng could only console himself that it wasn't the right time yet, and that the feature might be unlocked directly after a future upgrade.

So he could only put it out of his mind for the time being.

However, what puzzled Wang Zheng the most was that after the visualization method was upgraded to the maximum level, the progress of the visualized object's manifestation did not increase at all.

The last special effect, [Transformation of Heaven and Earth], was still not unlocked, which greatly annoyed Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was somewhat frustrated that his previous guesses had failed and he hadn't unlocked the life-saving technique. He didn't know how to continue improving.

After all, I had already tried it in Yunnan. After the realization progress reached 90%, killing alien beasts no longer had any effect.

The thought that he would have to communicate with the arrogant beast every time he wanted to activate [Heaven and Earth Transformation] made Wang Zheng feel indescribably uncomfortable.

The good news is that at least when he tries visualization, he doesn't fall asleep instantly, but instead enters his own inner vision space. He tried it three times and it was the same every time.

Although he didn't know what its purpose was, it made Wang Zheng feel a little better. He could only comfort himself by thinking that at least it was a kind of progress.
