With that in mind, he began making steel needles again.
Because his mental strength had been enhanced, the speed at which he could modify objects was significantly faster when he used his powers again.
The metal spoon in his hand was rapidly deforming and splitting, and the reassembled steel needles fell to the ground.
This time, in less than half an hour, a metal spoon was completely turned into steel needles.
After finishing the metal spoon, Yang Shen found a wrench and disassembled it to make steel needles, since he had plenty of metal products at home anyway.
After the wrench was disassembled and reassembled, several hundred steel needles were found on the ground.
Yang Shen picked up the steel needles and began upgrading them, upgrading each needle only once.
Because the first upgrade uses the least amount of experience.
The amazing thing about his ability is that with each upgrade, no matter how much experience is used, his cultivation level will increase by one level, and only by one level.
Even if upgrading an item to a certain level requires hundreds of billions of experience points, each upgrade only raises its level by one.
Yang Shen used to find this situation hard to understand, but now he does. His ability upgrade item is actually just a key that raises his cultivation level at the moment of upgrade, while experience itself can only strengthen his physical body and cannot play a role in upgrading.
Therefore, no matter how much experience one has, if one only levels up once, one can only advance to the next level.
As each steel needle was upgraded, Yang Shen's skill level also rose higher and higher.
As his cultivation level rose higher and higher, his originally sluggish thinking became active again, and his mental strength and memory became even stronger.
However, because he has not cultivated, nor has he actively integrated essence, energy, and spirit as he did in his previous life, he currently lacks divine sense.
In this life, Yang Shen does not intend to forcibly merge essence, energy, and spirit, but instead plans to naturally transform divine thoughts through cultivation.
He believed that the cultivation system developed by countless beings over countless years in the vast universe he inhabited must be a perfectly correct path.
Only in this way can he truly possess his own rules and make up for his shortcomings.
As for developing a completely new cultivation system?
Although it shouldn't be difficult for him to create a completely new cultivation system once his cultivation level is high enough, there's no need for that for now.
A completely new system requires a long period of time to validate, and he doesn't have that much time right now.
Once all the steel needles have been upgraded, the experience points will be almost used up.
At this point, Yang Shen's pure strength had reached over 500 kilograms, though this strength was incomparable to that of his previous life.
His mental energy was now able to be projected outwards.
With a thought, spiritual energy seeped out from between the eyebrows and was released into the body.
Within a half-meter radius around him, every 360 degrees is clearly visible; not even a speck of dust can escape his scan.
But this range...
Just like in his previous life, his mental resilience is already terrifying. It can be said with certainty that his mental resilience now far surpasses that of a God King. However, the quantity is simply appalling.
In his previous life, even though his divine sense was supreme and could annihilate a god-king with a single thought, the range of his divine sense was only one light-year.
This range was only achieved after absorbing and devouring the unknown creature that had consumed the entire mortal plane; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.
Therefore, Yang Shen believes that if one wants spiritual power, or rather, later-stage divine sense, to truly unleash its power, one's cultivation level must also catch up.
Suddenly, Yang Shen, whose hearing and eyesight had become sharp, heard footsteps outside the door.
He quickly focused his mind and used his mental power to control hundreds of steel needles on the ground to fly up and fall into his pocket.
At the same time, the sound of a key turning in the lock was heard, and then a middle-aged couple entered the living room.
Yang Shen stepped out of the room and saw his familiar parents. A genuine smile, unlike anything he had ever seen before, appeared on his face. He said, "Dad, Mom, you're off work."
"Yes, Xiao Shen, have you cooked?" Yang's mother, Li Lan, asked with a smile.
Then, the father, Yang An, asked, "Xiao Shen, have you tried to persuade your sister?"
Yang Shen immediately ignored his mother's words without any pressure and said, "I tried to persuade her, but Hongyan insists on coming back, and there's nothing I can do. But don't worry, Dad, you stay home tonight, and I'll go pick her up."
"That's not the problem, it would cost a lot in travel expenses to go back and forth," Yang An said helplessly.
"Then I'll come back and not go back to school," Yang Shen said with a smile.
"Huh?" Yang An was taken aback.
Li Lan immediately started berating him: "You're unhappy that your daughter is coming back? Yang An, are you sexist? Your son is lazy and good-for-nothing at home every day, and you don't seem to care about the money."
Yang An: "..."
Yang Shen: "..."
Well, Mom is still the best; she shut the father and son up with just one sentence.
Yang Shen really wanted to say that he had just graduated, and that at this time, he was probably looking for a job.
"You guys don't know how expensive oil and salt are until you're in charge..." Yang An muttered under his breath.
"Expensive my foot! We earn thousands a day, are we going to keep it all to be misers? You can't take it with you when you die, do you really want to take it to the grave?" Li Lan cursed.
"I...I'm just thinking about Xiaoshen and Hongyan's future, aren't I?"
...
Yang Shen watched as his parents, just like he remembered, would start arguing over the slightest thing, and he felt incredibly happy.
Of course, he wasn't happy to see his parents arguing, because he knew that his parents were just arguing verbally, not actually fighting.
"Mom and Dad, you can eat first. I just ate out. I have some errands to run, and I'll pick up Hongyan tonight."
