Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The weasel had been sleeping for a few years now and Lin Wu had been wondering when the beast would awaken. And it finally had woken up today.

"Took you long enough to wake up. How strong are you now?" Lin Wu decided to ask the Weasel first.

The weasel though stared at Lin Wu and tilted his neck. "More strong?"

~Sigh~

"I expected too much..." Lin Wu shook his head.

'Guess it will be better to let him just show it directly.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Alright then, since you've woken up and had a meal, how about doing some exercise?" Lin Wu asked.

"Exercise?" The Weasel asked.

"I mean having a little battle." Lin Wu simplified it for the beast.

"OKAY!" The beast quickly replied.

'He's certainly excited... though he didn't really back down from fights before either,' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Though now that the weasel was awake, Lin Wu wondered who could actually match him.

'There aren't many that would be able to go against him... even before it was impossible for them.' Lin Wu thought for a bit.

He looked through his list of servants, which had considerably expanded by now.

~DING~

There were a lot of changes in the state of his subordinates in these years and Lin Wu had upgrade all the Pentagem implants in them to the latest version as well. Many of his base subordinates had progressed in their cultivation and tens more had reached the Nascent soul realm.

Lin Wu had also gotten more of the Black Fur Monkeys as his subordinates and those that had survived the mutation had become his true subordinates as well. The older group of Emeraldine Monkeys that were at the core condensation realm all had their breakthroughs and were at the Nascent soul realm by now.

Even in the case of the former rulers of the forest, they had grown stronger. Especially the Demon Spine ape who had finally reached the Adolescent soul stage of the Nascent soul realm. And it was all due to his effort as well.

Then among his human subordinates there was growth as well, with some that were in the core condensation realm breaking through to the Nascent soul realm.

The most eye catching among them though, was none other than Ji Shirong. The man had successfully broken through to the Dao Shell realm after his bloodline was awakened by Lin Wu.

Shirong had also left the forest a couple years ago and had gone out to do his duties. Before leaving, he had left quite a bit of information for Lin Wu, which included the workings of the Ji clan and the things that had been occurring in it.

Though Shirong's main reason for leaving was that he had been called by the clan. He was not given any explanation for why he was called though, and was simply told to arrive at the clan as soon as possible.

Lin Wu hadn't really checked up on pretty much any of his servants and subordinates in the past two years, thus it was all a bit refreshing for him.

"Hmm... all of them have grown stronger. Ideally, Shirong would have been the best candidate to spar with the weasel as both of them have around the same level of skill and abilities. But since he's not here, the only one that can come close is the Twin Lights Liger King as before." Lin Wu went through the information.

He wondered if the Liger King was close to a breakthrough or not by now.

'He should be close to it since he did get a part of the supreme elder to eat before,' Lin Wu recalled.

After having thought for a bit, Lin Wu sent out several messages to his servants. He now had even more monkey servants, thus they could do pretty good in managing the forest now.

The trade between humans and the beast had increased in the past three years, just according to Lin Wu's plan. Though no human had decided to settle in the forest yet.

A forest city was part of Lin Wu's plan as it was necessary to normalize the association of humans and beast for better progress.

This was also why the monkey beasts were so important. Since apes and monkeys were similar to humans, they were far easier to accept for the human cultivators than the other beasts such as insect beasts.

It was also the reason why the Slim Arm Ape king had become well known among the sects and kingdoms in the recent months.

But among the higher ups of the said kingdoms and sect, it was the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape that had become famous.

He had been given the title of Wise Monk Ape unofficially since he was in charge of handling all those that came to take the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist. Additionally, they also got to see his strength when he accepted spars from those that came here.

A few 'elders' of the sects and kingdoms were not convinced that a beast like him could teach their disciples better thus challenged him. It was safe to say that the battle was ended swiftly and the Monk ape had come out on top.

This had made him gain several fans among the many disciples that took the trials here.

Many even requested him to teach them directly as a teacher, but were rejected.

The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape was also the servant of Lin Wu, who had cultivated the fastest. He was already at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm and Lin Wu was sure that he'd be the next to break through to the Dao Shell realm too.

Lin Wu conversed with his servants for a bit before deciding on what would be done next.

"Alright, if we can't match you with the right opponent, we can certainly increase them. We'll compensate for quality by quantity." Lin Wu stated.

"Fight Who?" The Weasel asked.

"You'll be fighting as many beasts as you can." Lin Wu replied.

"Reward?" The weasel asked, his eyes already shining with desire.

Drool appeared on the corner of its mouth as he stared at Lin Wu.

"I know I know. You'll get as much as you want to eat if you win." Lin Wu spoke.

~SKREEE~

The Weasel cried in excitement and seemed fully ready to fight now.
