------------------------------------------------
Brimming with plans for the future, Peter returned to his home in Queens.
Thank heavens, Peter, you're finally back! Would you like something to eat?
Aunt May popped her head out of the kitchen the moment she heard the door, a loving smile on her face.
Uncle Ben rose from the sofa as well, grumbling in mild complaint:
Do you have any idea how dangerous New York gets at night? I should've picked you up!
Because Gwen had already explained over the phone that they'd been busy with legitimate work at Oscorp, Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn't scold Peter; they were simply worried he might run into trouble on the way home.
Facing such genuine care from the two elders, Peter—whose parents had died young and who had spent so many years alone—felt a warmth in his heart.
He couldn't help but pull them both into a big hug and said with complete sincerity,
Sorry, Uncle Ben, Aunt May. I promise I won't make you worry again.
He wasn't the rebellious, mouthy teenager from the original story who would talk back to Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
Now, his mindset was far more mature than that of his Previous Incarnation before Uncle Ben's death; all he wanted was to care for the two of them and ensure they lived a rich and happy life from here on.
Peter's sudden hug and promise left Uncle Ben and Aunt May momentarily at a loss.
They had worried that, being at a sensitive adolescent age, Peter might explode if they spoke too harshly.
But now, his embrace made the two elders' noses sting and their hearts swell with relief.
Peter had always been a worry-free child, and now he had truly grown up—he understood and appreciated them… How wonderful!
After giving his word and wishing them good night, Peter hurried upstairs to his room.
The moment he shut the door, he silently called out in his mind:
System, open the shop.
The next second, a dazzling virtual light screen unfolded before his eyes.
The items were still the same; after buying the horse talisman, only seven remained.
His gaze swept over the seven products, and Peter quickly made up his mind:
System, purchase Kyougoku Makoto's karate insights.
Kyougoku Makoto is the combat ceiling of the Conan World—a fighting god who reaches superhuman levels through sheer physical power!
He once took down fifty blade-wielding gangsters bare-handed.
While wearing a gas mask that obscured his vision, he caught every BB pellet fired at him and counter-killed every bodyguard.
With just a few punches he shattered a marble pillar as thick as a man's embrace!
He's practically a humanoid Star Platinum; in the realm of karate, even the Master Brother of the Danketsu school is only fit to shine his shoes!
In the Marvel Universe, Daredevil—famed for his fighting skills—is like a little kid next to him.
Peter had previously looked down on this item, thinking its 500-point sacrifice cost overpriced.
After all, given his rookie status, without three to five grueling years of training he'd never reach Kyougoku's level.
By then the daylilies would be cold!
But times had changed.
With a physique and reflexes far surpassing the original Kyougoku, mastering the man's combat experience was child's play.
Kyougoku's karate techniques, amplified by this body, could explode with ten—or even a hundred—times the power.
The synergy of the two was a case of one plus one greater than ten!
So Peter bought it without hesitation.
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining 'Kyougoku Makoto's Karate Insights'. Remaining sacrifice points: 2,500.]
The instant the voice fell, a torrent of information flooded his mind like a bursting dam!
Countless combat scenes, endless muscle memories, innumerable life-and-death battle experiences… every last scrap of Kyougoku's fighting instinct, technique, and mindset was etched perfectly into Peter's soul and body.
Unconsciously, Peter snapped into a karate ready stance; the moment he moved, every muscle crackled softly, the fierce wind of his palm split the air and tore a gash in the bedsheet.
More importantly, he could feel his control over power and body leap several levels at once!
He was no longer a rookie with brute strength alone.
After a short period of adaptation, he would be a true grandmaster of combat!
With strength surpassing Captain America and Kyougoku's god-tier technique, Peter was confident that, give or take, he could already be called 'Mini-Cap'.
He still had 2,500 sacrifice points left.
After a brief hesitation, Peter ordered again:
Buy 'chakra seed'!
For most ordinary people, this thing is basically junk.
Chakra is the fusion of physical and mental energy.
Thus a weakling can only extract a tiny amount even if they succeed.
Plus, the product doesn't come with any Ninjutsu instructions; without hand-seals, all you can do is stare at that pitiful Chakra.
Abysmal cost-performance!
But for the current Peter, it's a treasure.
As a transmigrator boosted by the lizard serum, his mental and physical strength are dozens—if not hundreds—of times that of an average person!
Therefore, the amount of Chakra he can extract rivals that of the Uzumaki clan in the Hokage World.
And don't forget his invincible horse talisman!
A Ninja who overdraws Chakra will die on the spot.
Yet the talisman can heal cellular damage caused by excessive Chakra extraction.
This means his Chakra is not only vast but can also be harvested without limit!
He's basically found a bug!
Behold—what is a humanoid Tailed Beast! (leans back in triumph)
Someone might ask:
So what if you have Chakra? You don't know any Ninjutsu—what can you even do with it?
Answer: even without elemental jutsu, there's still Rasengan!
This A-rank technique developed by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and brought to glory by the prince Uzumaki Naruto needs neither hand-seals nor elemental conversion.
All you need is a massive amount of Chakra and mastery of its shape transformation.
It's tailor-made for the current Peter.
Can't do elemental jutsu? Can't form hand-seals? So what?
Nothing in this World can't be solved with one spinning ball.
If there is, then spin a bigger one—Big Ball Rasengan, Big Ball Rasengan Barrage, Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan… there's always a size that fits!
'Exchange for chakra seed!'
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining 'chakra seed'. Remaining sacrifice points: 2,000.]
