Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"So what do you think, King Lin Wu?" Lian Dajian questioned.

"It is certainly possible now. I'll need some time to analyze it a bit more and I might actually have a concrete solution." Lin Wu answered.

The two of them were currently sitting in the large dining hall in the tomb along with Elder Ruanjian as well as Lian Xiaojian who was busy eating. Having completed his breakthrough, the former fatty was famished and thus Lin Wu called upon his cooks to prepare food.

In just fifteen minutes, food was already on its way and they went to the dining hall which was rather impressive to the Lian clan patriarch. While everything was made out of solid rock and stone, he could tell that they weren't normal either.

They were all carved with fine runes, all joined up into formations. If something like this was ever sold outside, it would easily fetch a price that might buy one an entire minor sect, perhaps.

Not to mention the defenses of this place were no less than of a strong bunker!

~MUNCH~

~CRUNCH~

~CRACK~

Various sounds of eating could be heard as Lian Xiaojian continued to chow down everything that arrived. The strange thing was that he had already eaten nearly twice his body weight and there was no difference in it.

More food continued to arrive and the man kept on eating. The food wasn't cheap either, being made from the meat of core condensation realm beasts as well as valuable spirit herbs.

A meal of this level was something that perhaps only a clan as rich as the Lian clan might be able to afford.

Lin Wu didn't mind spending this much anyway since he was getting information continually. Or rather, it was the system that was getting it. Since Lin Wu needed to find a solution for Lian Dajian, the best way was to check his son's condition.

'Analyzing the working of the Vital house physique in real time should help speed up the system's simulations. Seeing as how there is no difference in his body even after eating this much, the digestion speed has certainly sped up.

While it cannot compare to my own, it is certainly beyond humans and most beasts.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu's own metabolism was perhaps the fastest he had seen till now… if it could even be called that, as it was basically intense radiation bombarding everything he consumed until it was reduced to smaller products that the system could utilize.

Which was why he could basically eat anything and it would continue to be broken down till it reached a point where the system could allow his body to absorb it.

Lin Wu continued to watch as the system updated the information screen in front of him every few minutes. About two hours passed before Lian Xiaojian had finally finished eating.

"Well… seems like the vital house physique certainly keeps up to its name.." Lin Wu said as he looked at the changed Lian Xiaojian.

"Young master… has certainly 'grown'." Elder Ruanjian said.

"I still feel pretty light!" Lian Xiaojian said as he hopped and jogged around.

He was no longer a bag of skin and bones anymore and had reached a bigger form. He wasn't athletic though, and was now chubby. Still way less than his original fat form.

'At least he's within the looks of a normal human.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

If Lian Xiaojian were to now go out, he would easily blend into the crowd. His looks were also average, so there was basically nothing eye-catching about him anymore. Perhaps only his cultivation base was now worth remembering for most.

"Are you satiated?" Lian Dajian asked in concern.

He had seen how much Lian Xiaojian had eaten right now and it was way beyond what his son consumed even when he was fat. Lian Dajian himself wouldn't dare to think he could eat that much food. At least not all at once.

"Mmmhmm… though I think if I try to eat more, I would still be able to eat. I don't think this is my limit yet." Lian Xiaojian answered.

"Is that so?" Lin Wu was intrigued.

"Did you learn something, King Lin Wu?" Elder Ruanjian inquired.

"Perhaps…" Lin Wu muttered as he continued to stare at Lian Xiaojian.

The former fatty got a little nervous with Lin Wu's gaze and looked back at the beast.

'Why do I feel even more weak against him now? It's as if King Lin Wu only got stronger… no… he was already stronger. I just couldn't sense it properly before.' Lian Xiaojian thought.

As his cultivation base increased, his sensory capabilities did too, which allowed him to understand the threat that Lin Wu could pose.

But just as he was thinking this, an idea returned to his mind.

"C-can you now help my father too, king Lin Wu?" Lina Xiaojian asked in a hopeful voice.

"I should be able to." Lin Wu nodded his head. "But I need something more." He added.

"What is it?" both Lian Dajian and his son said in unison.

"I need some of your blood." Lin Wu answered.

"Umm… okay." Lian Xiaojian didn't mind it as much.

"What will you do with it?" Lian Dajian asked, feeling curious.

"Well… the method I devised for you is not something originally intended for humans. So I don't know how compatible it would be. In order to make it a bit more compatible, I need the blood of someone related to you.

Lian Xiaojian is both your son and has awakened the Vital House physique, so he will be the perfect candidate." Lin Wu answered.

"Like how certain alchemical pills are made?" Elder Ruanjian asked.

"Yes, similar to that." Lin Wu stated.

"I see." Lian Dajian nodded his head.

"Well then, give me your hand. I'll take some blood." Lin Wu ordered the former fatty.

"O-okay…" Lian Xiaojian extended his hand, which was quickly stabbed by a thin crystal needle extended from Lin Wu's tail.
