Upgrade
Ethan calmed himself down. Now he was officially on the path of cultivation. He should not be over excited on such minor achievements. His goal is to reach the peak of the cultivation world. If he can do that at a quick time, then according to what he read in the novels back on earth, he could travel through even space and find a way back to earth.
He wanted to meet Shirley and tell her the truth. He had to face her despite whatever her reaction is. So he had to become a lot stronger more and more quickly. With this thought in his mind, he ordered the system to display his current stats.

Ethan could tell that the major reason why he was able to make his breakthrough is because the System gave him +100 points to all the attributes. And the reason why he received such a bonus is because he unknowingly became a teacher. And most importantly, he became a teacher without relying on the System.
This was the reason why the system gave him such a great reward. He even received two Special Rewards. And one of them actually upgraded his talent pool from Mortal Grade to the Warrior Grade. With this, he will no longer be at the bottom of the chart in the cultivation world.
He was happy about it. With this, he now understood that there is a way to increase his talent pool. Even though it is not that easy, he now know that it is at least possible.
System! What is the use for the Golden Points?" ,This question was troubling him for a while now. He didn't see this option when he was playing [Ascension] back on earth. So he was puzzled.
[Golden Points are fate changing points. Using this, one can have many advantages. User could enhance their talent pool using Golden Points. User could increase Spirit and Luck attributes]
Ethan was stunned first. But then he was excited. If that is the case, then he had to think carefully before using up his Golden Points. He knew that it is not that easy to gain the Golden Points. So he had use them in such a way that he would not regret it in the future.
Right now, the only things he could use the Golden Points were on Talent Pool, Spirit and Luck. No matter what, all three were very important. So he was hesitating and was troubled to make a wise choice.
"System! How many points I had to spend for ranking up my talent pool?" ,He asked the system.
[Spiritual Roots: 40, Physique : 40, Spirit : 40]
[All points transactions could be done with Golden Points only]
He asked, "How many points I have to spend to increase my Spirit and Luck attributes?"
[Spirit : 10 Golden Points (for 0.9)]
[Luck : 10 Golden Points (for 7)]
He gave it a serious thought after looking at the information from the system. Better Spiritual Roots were for swift cultivation. Better Physique increases the chances of victory in a battle. As for Spirit, the higher it's rank, the better the comprehension level one well have.
No matter how he see it, all three are important. And he also should worry about Spirit and Luck. The higher his luck, the higher auspices moments he will have. For instance, if he was being chased by someone whom he can't defeat due to lower cultivation base, then the attribute Luck will make sure that he will have better chances for escaping.
As for Spirit, he didn't know. Since it required Golden Points to increase it, it has to be extremely important. Moreover, Spirit related things are highly sensitive. And they plays major role in the Life of a cultivator.
"System! What is the use of Spirit?" ,He asked.
[Spirit has many uses. With strong Spirit one can have a good cultivation foundation. Strong Spirit will give better chances for a cultivator to defend from Soul Attacks, Soul Curses and so on. Strong Spirit will make comprehension of highly complex theory extremely easy.]
Sure enough. This description alone is enough to tell him just how important strong Spirit attribute is.
He patiently waited and didn't allot any points out of anxiety. After thinking for a long time, he finally came to a decision on how to use these Golden Points.
He ordered, "System! Upgrade Physique from talent pool."
[Command Accepted]
[Upgrading Physique from Talent Pool]
[Upgrade Successful]
[Congratulations! Physique has upgraded to Major Grade]
He then ordered, "System! Upgrade Spirit from talent pool."
[Command Accepted]
[Upgrading Spirit from Talent Pool]
[Upgrade Successful]
[Congratulations! Spirit has upgraded to Major Grade]
"Good!" ,Ethan was satisfied. There is a reason why he didn't upgrade his Spiritual Roots. Of course, if he had enough Golden Points, then there is no way he would have hesitated to upgrade his Spiritual Roots as well. So he had limited option.
He needed strong Physique for better defence. And according to what he read from the library, there are combat skills which were created solely to use with a stronger physique. That means, there is a way to train their physique and use its power for combat purpose. This is the reason why he upgraded his physique.
As per Spirit, there is no need for any introduction. Stronger Spirit will enhance his comprehension level. That means, he did use the complex theories into simplicity.
Back on earth, he couldn't even understand simple Logics in anything. Due to this, he was always considered as fool. In the cultivation world, comprehension place very crucial role. So he upgraded his Spirit from the talent pool.
As for why he didn't upgrade his Spiritual Roots, there is a reason. Spiritual Roots makes one's cultivation swift. With better Spiritual Roots, one will experience less bottlenecks.
But with the help of system, he was sure that he will grow quickly. So Ethan was sure that this issue could be neglected for now. This is the reason why he didn't upgrade his Spiritual Roots.
