Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Soon the assimilation process was complete and Lin Wu heard the sound of a notification from the system.

~Ding~

——

BLOODLINE ASSIMILATION: Completed

INNATE SKILLS OBTAINED: 1. Sound Command 2. Kin Command

HOST DATA: Updated

——

The first thing that Lin Wu could feel after successfully assimilating the bloodline was the increase in his sound sensitivity. Usually, the halls inside the tomb were rather silent and nothing could be heard from the outside.

But now, Lin Wu could sense the faint vibrations in the ground as well as in the air. They were indistinct but were still there.

'This is really something else…' Lin Wu thought before teleporting to the top of the tomb.

But as soon as he appeared there he felt as if his head had been hit with a sledgehammer.

"ARGH! Dammit, this is too loud!" Lin Wu cried out.

Lin Wu was feeling as if two loud speakers had been strapped to his head and were creating noise at full volume, giving him a headache. Lin Wu instantly knew that this was due to his new bloodline and needed to control it.

He carefully lowered the two 'ears' at the top of his head before they disappeared into his body. After they merged fully into his body, the noise had stopped.

~phew~

"Damn, that was loud! I need to better control this thing…" Lin Wu cursed before focusing on the two ears.

He slowly raised them back up and discovered that the more they were out, the higher the sensitivity was.

"Huh, it's kind of like an antenna." Lin Wu realized.

Once he got the hang of it and knew what level was the best for him, Lin Wu set the level of the ears to that point. Right now, if one looked at him, they would see that there were no ears at the top of his head and instead of that, there were two small bumps.

Lin Wu had set the level of the two ears at the bare minimum so that while he could have an enhanced hearing, it wouldn't give him a splitting headache.

After getting the hang of this, Lin Wu wanted to see what the two new innate skills that he obtained could do.

"System, show me the details of the two new innate skills I got from the Hard Reread Limber Mice King." Lin Wu ordered.

INNATE SKILL: Sound Command

GRADE: Minor

PROFICIENCY: Basic

INFO: The innate skill sound command allows the host to communicate with other beasts that have the same skill through a set of sounds and vibrations. These commands can be broadcasted over a long distance using the earth and the vibrations may be created by the host's body.

The range of the skill will increase with the increase in its proficiency. The current range of the innate skill is at a radius of 100 meters.

The complexity of the communication can be increased with an increase in its grade. The host may even be able to modify the vibrations such that the creatures who do not have the same innate skill can sense the sounds.

INNATE SKILL: Kin Command

GRADE: Minor

PROFICIENCY: Basic

INFO: The Innate Skill Kin Command allows the host to efficiently communicate with a large number of subordinates at once and give them commands. These commands will be innately understood by the subordinates but need to be simple.

The number of subordinates that can be ordered using the innate skill will increase with the increase in its grade. The current number that can be ordered is 10 beasts.

The complexity of the commands can be increased with an increase in their proficiency.

Lin Wu read the two innate skills and indeed found them to be useful, but not currently.

"These would be helpful when I'm together with multiple servants or subordinates and need to battle. Though I will need to practice using these skills as their current proficiency and grade restricts me quite a bit." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Thinking of practicing the skills, Lin Wu wondered about his servants. He checked their conditions in the system and found them to still be asleep.

"Hmm… how long will they take to wake up, it's already been nearly six days now? Though looks like their cultivation bases are still increasing little by little." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Lin Wu looked at the bloodlines and next on his list was the bloodline of the Twin Lights Liger. Unlike the Hard Reread Limber mice King bloodline, this one was much stronger and its compatibility was also low for him.

'I'll need to kill and consume the Twin Lights Liger King to increase the compatibility, can't take the risk of assimilating it and then harming myself. While the bloodline is not as strong as the Crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline, it is still quite resilient.' Lin Wu thought.

Lin Wu reckoned that he should only assimilate the bloodline after he had killed and consumed the Olive Viper king and increased the strength of his main bloodline first. This way he would not have as great of a risk and the situation would be similar to that of the Hard Eared Limber mice king, where the bloodline was suppressed quickly by his own bloodline.

"Hmm… the next step in my plan will take a while before I can initiate it. Right now I'll need to focus on the side plans I guess." Lin Wu thought out loud.

He checked the condition of his subordinate, Wang Xiong and asked about his situation.

Wang Xiong told him that while they had entered the territory of their sect, they were still some distance from the main part of the sect itself. It would take them a couple of days more to reach it and he would contact Lin Wu after that.

Having learned of this, Lin Wu decided to focus on cultivation for now. His avatar needed to reach the next stage too, before Shirong had his Nascent Soul realm tribulation, or there was a chance that some problems could arise from it.

"Well… back to cultivation."
