Soul weapons are weapons that utilise one’s own soul as a weapon spirit. With its ability to constantly grow, the strongest soul weapon was said to be as powerful as a demigod-grade weapon with a complete soul.
However, a soul weapon will never evolve into a demigod-grade weapon, due to the fact that it employs the user’s own soul as a weapon spirit. Naturally, if the user was willing to sacrifice his own life and transmute his own soul into the soul weapon… that would be an entirely different story, though that only existed in the theoretical realm; no one had ever been recorded as having succeeded.
According to legends, these weapons were invented to eventually grow to become a divine-grade weapon, an indirect way of achieving divinity.
But a mortal’s soul has limits -they could hardly withstand the powers residing in a divine-grade weapon. Because of that, the best a soul weapon could ever hope to achieve is something akin to demigod-grade, but not truly that.
Over time, those who engaged in such practises grew lesser and lesser, to the point where even knowledge of its existence was beginning to go extinct…
The pseudo-demigod state was also renamed Legend-grade, meaning it only existed in the legends, a grade between Epic and Demigod.

We’ve found the source of the infection -the Gene Enhancement Serum.
Roughly a week ago, a company known as Life Unbound Biotech Private Limited started selling this serum en masse. The serum was said to be able to, without side effects, improve one’s body, cure chronic diseases, allow a severely handicapped person to walk again, and even lengthen one’s lifespan.
At least… that was what the adverts touted. It was basically on the same level as human evolution at that point. Something you would regret for life if you passed on this opportunity.
The advertisements promised the moon, but after several tried it out themselves, the people found to their great surprise that the advertisements were actually true.
However, all of that was just a front. The serum was a trap. The company’s true aim was to turn everyone who drank the serum into a zombie.
For the time being, their aim of zombification wasn’t widely known yet. But for a company to so brazenly sell a virus like that, this was most likely only the start of a grand conspiracy.
Even though communications with the outside world were shut off, as long as we stayed within a certain range of each other, we could still remotely send messages to each other via our AI assistants.
Now that I had slain the blonde zombie, this suite was no longer fit for living. At the very least, I would be the first to admit that I wasn’t brave enough to live in a room with a corpse.
Yet the moment we were about to leave, my system suddenly beeped.
“Ding! Host has been detected entering a large instance. System will now enter into emergency update mode… Update complete: commencing insertion of programme… 1%… 30%… 100%… Insertion complete… Magical Girl Harem Grooming System 2.0: Harem Combat Mode, activate…”
The system has updated? Still with that insertion nonsense too… I just can’t get used to that!
“Hold on, my system just updated…” I took a seat again, ignoring that corpse nearby, and opened up the system menu.
System, what are the changes in this update?
“Magical Girl Harem Grooming System 2.0: Harem Combat Mode has upgraded its harem grooming systems, as well as its internal marketplace. Because our valued host is currently on a planet not suited for mana, Mana Increase Cards have been changed to Spiritual Energy (SP) Increase Cards. The Marketplace has undergone the greatest changes with all of its skill cards being usable on targets other than our valued host. However, to do that, the skill card has to be expended along with the necessary points to match the card’s value.
Wait so the SP Increase Cards can be used on others now?
“Yes. Points do not have to be expended when using these cards as well.”
Can’t I just transfer my points into SP directly for them, just like I do when I’m cultivating?
“No. They aren’t able to enjoy such privileges like our valued host.”
You say valued, but those SP Increase Cards are just as disgustingly expensive as the Mana Increase Cards. Giving them skill cards alone is pointless too…
After all, out of those three girls, only Lixiang had accumulated significant SP from cultivating the Martial Sage Arts of the Primordial Energies since young. Bitong and Jiao were still ordinary girls.
“Our valued host does not need to worry on that front. Every original resident of this world has SP within them. Only an appropriate skill is required to activate their SP, and soon they will be able to exhibit astonishing battle strength as well.”
Assuming I have the points for it, am I right?
“Yes. There is no such thing as a free meal in this world, not even for our valued host.”
But gathering enough points is hard as is. Missions don’t even pop up that often, so I doubt I can even afford those skills.
“Once again, our valued host need not worry. Thanks to the system update, each time our valued host kills a zombie, he will gain at least one point, and that amount rises as the enemy gets stronger.”
Killing zombies gives me points now?
So I just killed three, doesn’t that mean…
I hurriedly opened up my status menu…
Host: Mo Ke Race: Human Gender: Possibly Male Level: Three Talents: Apprentice Fire Control SP: 60 Skills: … Points: 3
