Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Tian Han closed his eyes and felt the cold crystal spike touch his forehead.

'Ugh!' he internally grunted as he felt it prick his skin.

Though the pain stopped in just a moment, as the system started its work. Tian Han didn't even realize that the spike had gone all the way into his brain and had pierced through his skull.

~shua~

Then in the next second, he felt like a river of spirit Qi was pouring into his body from the spike.

'This… such power…' Tian Han felt as if he was getting high.

The quantity of spirit Qi being injected into him at this moment was more than what he had gathered in his entire life until now. Not just that, but it was more than what was needed for him to reach the nascent soul realm.

'Let see if this new function works as well. He'll be the perfect one to serve as a test subject.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

This was the reason why Lin Wu was spending some extra spirit Qi on Tian Han even though he could have had him breakthrough in less than a quarter of this amount. After about a minute, the system showed a notification.

~DING~

——

——

In just a minute, Tian Han had gone from the Peak stage of the core condensation realm to the pseudo Nascent soul realm. His spirit Qi was already saturated in his core and yet there was a huge surplus of it left.

Since the spirit Qi had no space to go and Tian Han's Dantian and meridians were already filled to the point of saturation, it was temporarily stored in the Pentagem. Of course, the stored spirit Qi had some special use.

The new function that had been added 'Remote Skill execution' was something the system had come up with. But it was not fully developed and was still in analytical period. Usually when system came up with new updates, it would have already done all the testing and analysis in simulated form.

But all this took a long time and a lot of energy to do as well.

Then Lin Wu realized that he could use a different method to save time. It was always time saving to use real life subjects rather than simulations to save time and energy when it was viable.

Thus Lin Wu asked the system if they could just use someone as a test subject. The system simply told him that it was viable, hence Lin Wu decided to take this opportunity to try it out.

The system did tell him that there were risks to this, but Lin Wu didn't mind that. That was exactly the reason why he had selected Tian Han. The man was still expendable to Lin Wu ultimately and their current situation was something that would be useful for it too.

'It'll be good to test its power out in an actual combat situation. If Tian Chu can't do enough with the formation array, this function should be able to handle the rest. Though we don't know what the effects on its user would be.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

~WHOOSH~

Lin Wu pulled back his crystal spike from Tian Han's forehead and watched as the man's veins popped under his skin.

"Will he be able to handle this?" The Twin Lights Liger King asked.

The beast had many times more experience than anyone here and could tell that Tian Han was in a unique condition.

"I've never seen a human have spirit Qi overload before." The Twin Lights Liger King added.

"Oh? You know of this?" Lin Wu replied to the beast.

"I've experienced it before. It's not a good feeling." The Twin Lights Liger King stated.

"He'll be fine… at least I think so." Lin Wu spoke.

Lin Wu and the Twin Lights Liger King's conversation was in beast tongue thus Tian Chu couldn't understand it. But she didn't care for it anyway and simply focused on Tian Han.

She could tell that the amount of spirit Qi in Tian Han's body was massive. It was more than was in her own body right now, even though she was at the Infant Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.

'Does he have that much capacity for spirit Qi? Is his talent really that high?' Tian Chu had a misunderstanding.

A few seconds later, a serious expression appeared on her face.

'I need to be strong for master or I'll be left behind. I'll need to cultivate even harder if I have to leave that man behind.' Tian Chu was motivated.

Lin Wu didn't even realize that he had ended up stimulating Tian Chu's goals without intending to do it. And even if he did, it was of no concern to him. But rather, it could even be said to be good.

Strong subordinates and servants would ultimately be of a benefit to Lin Wu. Especially in the future, when he was going to need a lot of human subordinates that were strong, since he wanted to take hold over the human world as well.

~WOONG~

Winds started to blow as clouds gathered up. At first they were the normal white clouds and it simply looked normal, but a few minutes later they turned darker before turning a black.

~RUMBLE~

Then finally, the first arc of lighting could be seen streaking across the clouds, as if informing everyone of its arrival.

"Time to go. This should be enough." Lin Wu said as he scanned Tian Han one last time.

"I'll take care of the rest, master." Tian Chu said with a determined expression.

"I'll depend on you then," Lin Wu said before going some distance and digging down into a lake.

The Twin Lights Liger King and Tim followed him and jumped down into the water as well. They were going to follow the plan Lin Wu had instructed them on.
