Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

~HONG~

A humming sound was heard as Lin Wu tapped on the new spear in his grasp.

"Seems perfect." Lin Wu said as he lightly swung it around using his spirit sense.

He hadn't really used any spirit weapons before like this, since he had no use for them. His own body was far more powerful than them and it would only be an unnecessary obstacle in his fights.

But now he had a good reason to try it out.

Lin Wu gazed at the spear, which was the same as how he had disguised in the past. It was two meters long and had a sharp spearhead with a cross blade at its base that shone in a red light.

There were segments on the shaft of the spear, and it looked like it was carved out from a single slab of crystal. The craftsmanship was exquisite and if it was ever presented to the cultivator markets, it would easily fetch a great price.

Lin Wu infused some spirit Qi into it and watched it quickly increase in size.

<strong>~SHUA~</strong>

The spear ripped through the air before hitting a test dummy made from hardwood in the distance.

~BOOM~

The dummy exploded from the force, and its splinters were shot everywhere.

"Hmm… the extension and shrinking works normally…" Lin Wu said after testing it. "But the regeneration…"

He then used his tail and pressed upon the shaft of the spear.

~CLANG~

The sound of something hard being hit was heard as Lin Wu's tail exacted great force. The spear stayed straight for a few seconds before it finally started to bend. Soon it was bent into a crescent shape.

"It's holding nicely." Lin Wu let go of the spear and let it return to its natural state.

Seeing that there were no cracks on it, he was pleased.

This was the function of the spear, which was born from the two innate skills. The third node would work to ensure that when the spear bore force that was greater than normal, it would bend instead of break.

This would prevent it from cracking easily, and even if it did reach that point, the cells would start to repair it right away. This would of course come at a price of vital energy, but it was better than it breaking entirely.

"Hmm… let's see how the offensive formation circuits work." Lin Wu muttered before holding the spear with his tail.

It looked rather strange seeing someone as big as him holding the spear. Compared to his size, it was like a straw.

It would be the same as seeing a bulky and buff barbarian using a toothpick to fight.

~shua~

Wind spirit Qi rose from Lin Wu's body and was infused into the spear.

~HONG~

And just as he wanted, several runes lit up on the spear and channeled the wind spirit Qi through the circuits naturally present in it. Lin Wu had used a part of his meridians to make these circuits, so they were able to use any kind of spirit Qi and Qi skills without any obstacle.

<strong>Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Cloud Parting Gale!</strong>

Lin Wu used the skill that Shirong had used a while back.

~WHOOSH~

A long streak of wind spirit Qi shot through the air, threatening to rip apart anything in its path. The splinters of wood lying around were ground until they were turned to sawdust.

"That's excellent!" Lin Wu could see almost no difference from back then.

'Shirong will find this exceeding his expectations… even if it would not be able to do the armor and other crazy forms.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He tested out the spear a few more times with different skills and was satisfied by it. He also checked the peak output that the spear could handle and saw that very high. In fact, he couldn't even reach it with his current power.

"Even Immortal Ascension realm cultivators won't be able to strain it, not to mention Dao treading realm ones…" Lin Wu guessed.

With such great results, Lin Wu was sure that the spear was easily a Peak grade spirit weapon now.

"Finally done…" Lin Wu nodded his head.

He put the spear away for now and decided to rest. The time that he had told Shirong was still two weeks away, so he had plenty of days to rest.

'If I give him too quickly, he'll become complacent… it might be better if I'm late perhaps…' Lin Wu thought and decided to do it.

"For now… a nap will be nice…" Lin Wu lightly said as he laid down on the many large pillows that had been made for him.

His large body could easily sprawl over the pillows and rest comfortably. And just a few minutes after Lin Wu had laid on it, he had already fallen asleep.

While Lin Wu took some well deserved rest, the man who was intended to receive the fruit of his work was currently doing something else.

In the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist, Shirong sat in a meditative pose.

~UGH~

He shook awake from his calm state and had a frustrated look on his face.

"This is certainly not easy…" Shirong muttered as he wiped the sweat off his face.

"It is not supposed to be easy of course." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape spoke from the back.

Shirong looked at the strange beast, who had the mannerisms of a human.

"Still… you are doing far better than the others. You have finished three of the trials in less than a week." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape added.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Shirong was intrigued. "How do I fare against the disciples of the Frozen Cloud sect? How long did they take to reach this point?" he questioned.

"It took them a couple months on average." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape answered.

"I see… and how long did it take them to finish it entirely?" Shirong asked with a glint in his eyes.

"Ten years." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape replied.

"Hmm… so I have to break that records." Shirong's gaze sharpened.
