Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

While the meeting continued in the shrine, a certain worm observed it with great joy.

"Let's see… all of them came, and no one rejected it. As for the power that had an open invitation, three top sects came and the top three clans came as well." Lin Wu counted.

Lin Wu was not expecting such a level of attendance honesty and seeing more than expected numbers was good for him.

"And the ones who came are rather good too… Hehe." Lin Wu said as he gazed at certain people

His eyes moved from Shirong, to the Lian clan's first young master and then the envoy from the Long clan. These three were the ones that interested him the most. Shirong was the most obvious subject for Lin Wu to be interested in since the two were involved for a while.

Lin Wu had not forgotten about the man and still wanted to extract the benefits he had thought in the past.

'I had originally thought of going to him before, but since he's here, it makes things much easier. I'll have to prepare a better plan for him this time…' Lin Wu thought to himself, a smile appeared on his face.

The next person Lin Wu was interested in was the Lian clan heir.

"Lian Xiaojian was it… this should be the eldest brother of that dumb fuck I met back then." Lin Wu said as he recalled the man he had killed in the Jiao Dian city's outskirts.

But a moment later, Lin Wu's brow crystals furrowed.

"Is he really his eldest brother, though? Man, do they have some other beast bloodline? Perhaps a pig beast bloodline? How the hell is he that fat?" Lin Wu was surprised because of that.

After looking at him for a bit, Lin Wu spoke again.

"System, scan that man and see what you can learn." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

SCANNER: Activated

TARGET SELECTED: Lian Xiaojian.

SCANNING: please wait a moment…

——

Lin Wu watched as the system did its work. Since he wanted system to find out the hidden information about the man, it needed some time. The system could give the surface level information like the cultivation base and identity rather easily, but the hidden aspects would need longer time to find.

About ten minutes later, the system finally finished its task.

~DING~

——

SCAN: Completed

TARGET: Lian Xiaojian

CULTIVATION BASE: Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm

BLOODLINE: None

PHYSIQUE: Vital House Physique (unawakened)

VITALS: Stable (Subject is currently constipated)

——

"What the fuck is that last line?" Lin Wu had not expected for the system to place that in here too.

Pushing that extra information aside, Lin Wu read the rest of it again, more importantly the physique that had appeared.

"What is this Vital House Physique system?" Lin Wu asked.

~DING~

——

PHYSIQUE: Vital House Physique

INFO: The Vital House Physique is a unique physique that allows the owner to stockpile vitality within their body and unleash it all at once. The stockpiled vitality can be used in multiple ways;

1. it can be used to heal injuries in a pinch.

2. use as fuel for self sacrificial or potential burning techniques.

3. Convert the vitality to spirit Qi to restore their power.

Note: as a side effect of the physique, the owner will get obese and if the physique is not awakened before a certain limit is reached, the owner might die from obesity.

——

"Oh? That's not a bad physique… though the side effects for it are… understandable." Lin Wu said.

Lin Wu thought over the physique and wondered if it was worth to add this man as one of his pawns.

'I don't know if it would be viable. I'll need to know his wants and desires to tempt him. Otherwise it will be useless.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu was a bit confused and took another glance at the data.

"Do you know a method to awaken the Vital House Physique, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: There are three methods of awakening the Vital House physique.

1. The physique has a very low chance of awakening automatically.

2. A Vital Ascendancy Pill can be administered to stimulate the physique and awaken it. (notes: The Vital Ascendancy Pill is an immortal grade pill.)

3. The Owner of the physique can be weakened and injured for a prolonged time and the physique can be forced to awaken. (note: depending on the will power of the owner, they may or may not survive this. But the lower the will power they have, the greater the chance of them dying.)

——

"Hoho, so the man is fucked all three ways." Lin Wu said, seeing the options.

The first option was what Lian Xiaojian would have to take normally, the second was one that was out of everyone's reach for now and the third was an option that would push him to the brink of death and even then there was no chance he would survive it.

Seeing this, Lin Wu put the man aside for now.

"I'll have better options than him. I need ones that are better investments with lower risk." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

His gaze finally went to the third person of interest, the envoy from the long clan.

This was the person Lin Wu was interested in the most because this was the first time he was seeing someone from the Long clan. As far as he knew, the Long clan's members rarely left their clan unless a specific mission was given to them.

Thus, unlike the other clans and sects, there was a low chance of Lin Wu meeting them in the outside world.

Another reason he was interested in them was of course, because of what they represented: one of the three guardian beast bloodlines.

Lin Wu knew the true story behind the appearance of the guardian beasts on this world and wondered just how well this man's bloodline would hold against his own.

"Let's see now, shall we?"
