Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Seeing that the source crystal was now set up and working as it should be, Lin Wu felt a bit better. He knew that he would not get to reap the benefits of the source crystal soon, but he was pleased to see that it would be helpful in the long term.

~Sigh~

"I'll come for you all later, but for now I got a different situation at hand…" Lin Wu said before transferring his consciousness to the Avatar. 

His vision went dark for a second before returning. But now the scene in front of him had changed completely. Unlike the white hall filled with tens of screens, Lin Wu was now in a dimly lit hall, with the only light source coming from the inner hall.

He looked around and saw that Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi were still there in their positions and had not moved. They were observing the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, who was now close to finishing her transformation.

'Hmm… her cultivation should stabilize soon and her transformation will be complete. Though I think she still needs more of the bloodline in order to be able to reach the peak and awaken a major part of her bloodline.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Less than ten minutes had passed since he had left his avatar and returned and thankfully nothing strange had happened. The commands that he had left for his avatar had never been activated and even when he checked the memories from the system, everything was fine.

"Guess it was indeed safe leaving the avatar for a bit, despite these two guys being here. Not like they can harm the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle anyway and they fear me far too much to do anything right now." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Jiao Fan felt a gaze on him and turned to look at the source which was none other than Lin Wu. He felt a bit nervous bit since Lin Wu had not done anything to him or any humans for that matter till now, his guess that Lin Wu was a mechanical puppet was turning out to be more and more solid.

'Should I ask him…?' Jiao Fan couldn't help but think. 

~thud~

His gaze was attracted by the loud heartbeats of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and he couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. The beast was simply too powerful for him or anyone in the city.

Not to mention just that, Jiao Fan was sure that in the entire Bing Kingdom there would be less than three people that might be able to compare with the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle as of now. 

"Will the Minister even be able to do anything to this beast?" Jiao Fan couldn't help but wonder.

Lin Wu heard the man's words and was intrigued, but did not question it now. He guessed that the man might be talking about the higher ups of the Bing Kingdom or something like that. That was what Lin Wu was originally concerned about, but with the increase in the power of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, he did not need to worry as much.

"I should start my part too," Lin Wu said. This time, his words were audible to the two men.

"Start… his part?" Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi repeated, wondering what Lin Wu had just said.

~thud~

~thud~

But then, in the next moment, their eyes went wide and they fell to the ground. 

"Wh-what!? What's happening?" Old Man Tiandi said in shock.

In front of him, Lin Wu's body was glowing with an emerald green light and his eyes also glowed with a crimson light. Currently, the Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi were unable to use their spirit sense and had a hard time sensing the spirit Qi but due to the sheer amount of spirit Qi waves Lin Wu was releasing they could feel it on their skin.

"This… is this beast… or puppet having a breakthrough, too?" Jiao Fan said in surprise.

And it was exactly as how they had thought. Lin Wu was truly having a breakthrough right now. The waves coming from his body only got stronger till he finally broke through to the Child Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

~Ding~

——

CULTIVATION UPGRADE: Complete 

AVATAR CULTIVATION BASE: Child Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm

  -Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [1,798,811/3,000,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

——

With the upgrade complete, the spirit Qi fluctuations that were coming off Lin Wu's body calmed down and the glow of his body dimmed down as well. He opened his eyes and looked at the two men with a large, toothy grin on his face.

"Ah, pardon me! Perhaps it was a bit unexpected…" Lin Wu chuckled.

He then turned his head at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and looked at her, open her eyes.

"Perfect! At the same time almost." Lin Wu said as he proceeded ahead.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle looked at the approaching Lin Wu and the two humans that were watching her as well.

"Congratulations, another breakthrough." Lin Wu said.

"Mm… it was nothing. Once my bloodline is truly awakened, no one in this world will be my match." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said with a proud expression on her face.

Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi could not perceive this pride though and for them it only looked like the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was having a fierce expression. Only Lin Wu, who had gotten used to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's emotions and expression, could tell it now.

He could even feel that if he did not have the translation of the system, he might still be able to talk to her and understand her.

"Of course! No other bloodline can come close to the descendant of the legendary Vermilion bird." Lin Wu said with a smile.

"Legendary Vermillion bird?" for the first time, Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi heard the name of the beast that the statues depicted.
