Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 709 – Shell Breaker Thorn Band And Surplus Gains

Elder Qianshu was deteriorating with each passing second and Lin Wu was quite sure that man would be dead in a few more minutes. If it were not for the fact that he was a Dao Shell realm cultivator, that too at the Shell expansion stage of the Dao Shell realm, he would have died like all the other elders.

'Though it is surprising that he actually lasted against radiation and could heal from the initial attacks this quick. He certainly had a lot of healing treasures it seems…' Lin Wu thought before his attention went to a certain object that was lying some distance away.

'Also that spirit tool… it is certainly a Peak grade spirit tool, one that is specialized in breaking formations.' Lin Wu thought seeing the object.

"System, scan this thing." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

SCANNER: Activated 

TARGET SELECTED: unknown spirit tool

SCAN COMPLETED: Data banks updated

TARGET: Shell Breaker Thorn Band

INFO: The Shell Breaker Thorn Band is one of the peak grade spirit tools of the Frozen Cloud sect. It wasn't originally made in the sect through and was actually acquired by the sect a thousand years ago from a merchant that had come from the Hu continent.

The spirit tool itself doesn't have any direct offensive abilities, but it can break apart formations and arrays. Its power depends on the cultivation base of the user and at its full potential, it is said to be able to break even a sect's core defensive formation array.

"This is a nice find." Lin Wu said to himself. "And now it's mine."

'System store the Shell Breaker Thorn Band' Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ITEM STORED: Shell Breaker Thorn Band

INVENTORY: Pink Women's underwear, Unknown Metal girdle, Shell Breaker Thorn Band.

Lin Wu stored the ribbon with the metal thorn in the investors. He wanted the system to continue analyzing it and gain more data from it. And since it was an authentic peak grade spirit tool, Lin Wu was happy to keep it to himself.

So far, Lin Wu hadn't really used any spirit tools or weapons since his own body was way stronger than them. But now he finally had a spirit tool that could accomplish something that would take him longer to do.

'Even if the system can hack into the formations and break them, it still takes time. In situations where I don't have much time, the Shell Breaker Thorn Band will be a perfect choice.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

The spirit sense brand on the Shell Breaker Thorn Band had already been wiped out by the system. But even before that, it had been greatly weakened due to Elder Qianshu's spirit sense suffering damage, and now since he was close to dying, it took the system almost no effort to wipe it out.

~Cough~

Lin Wu couldn't even tell which cough of Elder Qianshu was due to the backlash of erasing the brand and which was due to his body dying. 

"Not like it matters, your end is fated." Lin Wu said as lowered his head and faced the man.

Elder Qianshu felt a shadow over his head and looked up.

His eyes went wide as he stared into the crimson eyes of Lin Wu that were bigger than his entire head.

"M-monster…" Elder Qianshu muttered, his voice almost inaudible.

"That I am indeed…" Lin Wu said before swallowing the man in one go.

After he entered Lin Wu's mouth, not even a single cry was heard. Tian Chu who saw this could only think one thing.

'Perhaps dying was the relief that he needed… after suffering all that.' Tian Chu thought to herself.

~DING!~

Lin Wu heard a notification that was significantly louder than normal. Though it still didn't come close to a warning notification. He didn't mind it though and felt excited instead.

"Let's see the gains, shall we…" he said as he brought up the windows.

~DING~

NOTIFICATION: Spirit Qi Target reached!

——

Seeing the gains, a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Perfect… this is enough to tide me over and still leave enough for me to use in case of emergencies." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Tian Chu couldn't hear Lin Wu's words as his voice had turned back into the beastly distorted form. The system had gotten better at the translating function and knew when to censor Lin Wu's words.

Thus only when Lin Wu wanted others to hear him would they be able to understand him.

"Master," Tian Chu spoke up.

"Yes?" Lin Wu asked upon hearing.

He could feel something in her tone and guessed that she wanted something.

"Your bloodline… can I have it too?" Tian Chu questioned.

"You want the bloodline too?" Lin Wu asked in surprise.

He hadn't told her that she did have the bloodline in her technically. It was just that her body hadn't assimilated it and only a part of its functions and skills that were present in the Pentagem were active.

"Yes!" Tian Chu said with determination.

"Hmm… alright." Lin Wu replied.

He didn't mind having stronger subordinates and seeing Tian Han's surprising mutation, Lin Wu reckoned that Tian Chu might be similar too. 

'If it's the same for her too, then maybe the others of the Tian clan could be the same. If their talents are really this good, I may as well add more of them under me.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Come forward." Lin Wu spoke and Tian Chu obeyed.

Lin Wu extended a spike out from his tail and pricked her head, injecting a certain amount of spirit Qi along with another fragment of his crystals. Even now Lin Wu was not fully sure about the mutation process and could only wait for it to work on humans.

It was not like beasts where he could induce it himself.
