Chapter 665 - Introducing Tim
All the beasts looked at the smallest beast in the hall. Tim was many times smaller than almost everyone in the hall. Even when compared with the Emeraldine Monkeys that were at the core condensation realm, Tim was two times smaller.
Those monkeys had grown buff in the past few years and had put on a lot of muscles. If they flexed, the rippling veins could be seen under their skin. And that was not all. Even when compared to the other core condensation realm beasts that weren't particularly Lin Wu's subordinates, Tim was still small.
Though he looked different from the normal beasts too. In fact, his crystalline skin looked far more similar to Lin Wu and his kin than the normal beasts. Thus in that way, he was more like them.
If it were not for the fact that they couldn't feel the bloodline trace from Tim, the beasts with the Emeraldine legion bloodline would have thought that Tim was the same and had simply mutated in a different manner.
After all, the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape was the same and had mutated differently, gaining the white crystal on its forehead and hands. The Emeraldine bloodline was not rigid and allowed the original bloodline of the beast to exist.
Instead of suppressing it, it adapted to it and promoted the original bloodline while adding its own characteristic to it. In a way, it acted like a catalyst and increased the rate at which the bloodline evolved.
Something that might have taken tens of thousands of years and multiple generation of beasts was done in a single generation with a single beast. It was simply an astounding existence.
The beasts were thus confused as to who Tim was.
A few of them extended their spirit senses, trying to probe Tim and find out his cultivation base. But like many others before, they too failed and were surprised. It was as if their spirit sense had met a thick steel plate that could not be broken.
"Huh? How is this possible?" The Twin Lights Liger King and others had the same expression.
To them, since Tim was small in size, they thought that his cultivation base should be around the core condensation realm. Though they were still a bit doubtful about it since they had seen him fearlessly attack the Slim Arm ape king.
No normal beast would attack a beast at the Nascent soul realm unless they knew they could fight them.
"You couldn't use your spirit sense on him, could you?" Lin Wu easily guessed.
"Yes. How is that possible? His body is like… nothing I've ever seen." The Twin Lights Liger King spoke.
"Of course. He is the first of his kind." Lin Wu replied.
"Then… is he the same as you, master?" The Emeraldine Beetle questioned.
"Hmm… you could say that. His bloodline has changed enough that it is now entirely different." Lin Wu answered.
"Then what is he? And why did I feel the pressure from him when he attacked?" The Slim Arm ape king asked, still feeling a bit nervous.
"Well, the pressure was justified. After all, he is quite possibly stronger than most of you here." Lin Wu stated.
"What?!?" The beasts were stunned.
"I can't even sense its cultivation base. It's as if it has nothing. There are no passive spirit Qi fluctuations either. Even his vitality is almost hidden." The Twin Lights Liger King said, finding it to be very strange.
"Yes, his unique physique allows him that ability. He is what I've named, a Myriad Obsidian Weasel." Lin Wu revealed.
"That is a weasel?" The mole beast looked on fearfully and took a few steps back.
Lin Wu looked on strangely before remembering something.
'Ah, yeah. Weasels hunt and kill moles to eat.' Lin Wu remembered.
He then looked at the beasts and thought that he should give them a better explanation.
"His body has Earthen Depths obsidian in it thus it blocks out spirit Qi completely… whether it be his own or others." Lin Wu spoke.
"Huh? How does he use his own spirit Qi then if it can't leave his body?" The Demon Spine Ape questioned.
"That is something I'm not fully clear about either. It has simply mutated in a way that it just works." Lin Wu answered.
This was the truth, and even the system was still analyzing this fact. Scanning Tim had been a tough task for the system, and finding what was hidden in its bloodline was an even more difficult task.
Since the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal had given them a part of the information, the system did have some points to go off from, but it was not enough. Plus, Lin Wu thought that the information was not entirely correct as the beasts mentioned in that didn't match Tim at all.
They weren't even the same class of beast either. One of them was a fish, the Marga Gar beast; and one was an insect, being the Glitter gold butterfly. Then there was the wolf beast, which was the Sky Wing wolf.
Even though the wolf was a mammal too and came in the same class, it was still vastly different than a weasel.
"I see… but what is its cultivation base, then?" The beasts all asked, feeling very curious.
To them, if Lin Wu had brought Tim from somewhere and had even carried him on his body, it meant that he valued him a lot. Plus, the way Lin Wu was treating Tim seemed to be different than them too.
While they couldn't exactly tell how, seeing as how Tim didn't have Lin Wu's bloodline meant that he was not exactly a servant or subordinate. This only made them even more curios about Tim.
"He is at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm… almost at the very peak." Lin Wu answered.
Hearing this, the beasts were no less than speechless.
"How… H-how is this possible?" The Twin Lights liger king was the most shocked.
