Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Intermediate Warrior	19	Awakened after cosmic energy and RR Virus-driven brain evolution opened Wu Ming's Sea of Consciousness. His Spiritual Force measured 3,460 kg.
Intermediate Warrior	26	Increased from 3,460 kg to 3,552 kg over eight days, demonstrating the poor efficiency of cultivation without a Spiritual Guidance Technique.
Advanced Warrior	41	Reached 4,186 kg after intensive cultivation; its growth had fallen behind Wu Ming's Genetic Energy due to the latter's superior Guidance Technique.
Advanced Warrior	46	Increased to 4,551 kg while Wu Ming trained others and studied multiple Internal Martial Arts inheritances.
Advanced Warrior	48	Rose sharply from 4,551 kg to 6,687 kg after microscopic self-observation, mental exhaustion, and a brief return to Void Silence.
Advanced Warrior	49	Its nightly conversion efficiency became three times higher than before, an effect Wu Ming identified as functioning like a Spiritual Guidance Technique.

Background

During Ruan Qingzhu's RR Virus treatment, Wu Ming noticed that her brain consumed an exceptional amount of energy during genetic metamorphosis. He believed this indicated possible Spiritual Force potential, though he concluded that a true awakening would likely require cosmic-energy absorption after reaching the Martial Artist Realm 15.

Wu Ming's own Spiritual Force awakened during an uncontrolled cultivation crisis. While his consciousness was in Void Silence, altered RR Viruses transformed his brain and forced his body to absorb cosmic energy. The influx opened a Sea of Consciousness in the depths of his brain, where mist-like energy condensed into Spiritual Force 18 19.

Although Wu Ming became a Spirit Reader, he found no unused Spiritual Force within his Sea of Consciousness. He interpreted the lack of reserve power as evidence of poor innate Spiritual Force talent, but relied on equipment and cultivation methods to compensate 19.

Abilities & Skills

Telekinesis

Spiritual Force allows Wu Ming to manipulate external objects with thought.

• Can lift, move, and direct large numbers of objects simultaneously; he levitated an entire room's fitness equipment to demonstrate the ability 23.
• Can generate substantial impact through telekinetically accelerated objects; a weight plate struck with 4,053 kg of force during government testing 43.
• Cannot directly act on another person's body, requiring weapons or other physical objects for attacks 23.
• Allows Wu Ming to retrieve and control weapons without physically handling them 50.

Spiritual Weapon Control

Wu Ming uses Spiritual Force to operate flying swords as offensive weapons.

• Controls eighteen hexagonal flying swords from the Willow Inquiry set 27 28.
• The swords can launch from their case, maneuver in formation, and return to individual storage grooves under telekinetic control 27.
• The flying-sword equipment raises his Spiritual Force precision by 200%, increasing his force amplitude from fivefold to sevenfold 27.
• The set's Advanced Apprentice talent increases Spirit Reader talent by 200% 27.

Flight

Spiritual Force can lift both Wu Ming and the objects he stands on.

• Wu Ming uses the Willow Inquiry Sword Case as a flying platform 28.
• Retractable foot restraints secure him to the case while it is airborne 28.
• He initially avoids public flight to prevent attracting attention 21 28.

Internal Perception

Wu Ming can turn Spiritual Force inward to inspect his own body.

• Can observe internal physical changes around the cellular level, aiding Genetic Energy cultivation and force-control training 19.
• Used internal observation to correct his martial movements with exceptional precision, accelerating his progress through Xingyi Quan 39.
• Can observe and influence cells closely enough to construct Hidden Strength force nodes, though this only approximates cellular-level control 47.
• Deep microscopic observation reveals molecular chains and internal energy flows, but nearly exhausts his Sea of Consciousness within ten seconds 48.

Spiritual Force Cultivation

Spirit Readers absorb cosmic energy primarily through the brain, after which the Sea of Consciousness converts it into Spiritual Force 21.

• Without a proper Guidance Technique, Wu Ming's Spiritual Force growth is extremely slow 21 26.
• Wu Ming normally devotes roughly three hours of nighttime cultivation to expanding his mental-power capacity 35.
• After his Void Silence-related breakthrough, his conversion efficiency triples, though he has not determined whether the cause is Void Silence, mental exhaustion, or another factor 48 49.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Willow Inquiry — A set of eighteen lightweight flying swords, each approximately 22 centimeters long and 600 grams in weight. The swords can withstand impacts up to 270,000 kilograms 27 28.
• Willow Inquiry Sword Case — A titanium-aluminum alloy case that stores the flying swords, launches them through an internal mechanism, and transforms into a flying platform 27 28.
• Battle Blade · Dragon Sparrow — When equipped alongside Willow Inquiry, activates the Weapon Master set effect, increasing comprehension of related weapon techniques by 300% 26 27.
• Tungsten Steel Battle Armor — When paired with Willow Inquiry, activates Spirit-Material Dual Cultivation, increasing both Genetic Energy and Spiritual Force talent by 150% 28.
• Sharp Blade — Wu Ming's first improvised Spiritual Force-related weapon. Combined with Steel Armor, it activated the weaker Dual Spirit-Martial Cultivation set 20.

Relationships

• Wu Ming — First confirmed wielder. His Sea of Consciousness contains no reserve Spiritual Force, so he pursues equipment bonuses and experimental cultivation methods to overcome limited innate potential 19 48.
• Ruan Qingzhu — Her unusually energy-hungry brain metamorphosis suggested latent potential for Spiritual Force, though she had not awakened it within the documented period 15 28.
• Zhu Huazhi — Designed the Willow Inquiry flying swords and Sword Case that allow Wu Ming to weaponize and refine his Spiritual Force control 27 28.
• Zhao Minghui — Witnessed Wu Ming's public telekinetic demonstration during the government's verification of Genetic Warriors 43.

Trivia

• Wu Ming initially envied the possibility that Ruan Qingzhu might awaken Spiritual Force before awakening it himself two days later 15 19.
• His early fivefold Spiritual Force amplitude was partly attributed to habits developed while using Virus Controller to observe microscopic details 27.
