The Slim Arm Ape was the last beast Lin Wu had considered being close to this.
'If he really is able to make one of his subordinates or descendants into the fifth ruler, the balance of power would probably shift again. It's likely that the Split thorn horn beetle king would become the one with the least power, falling from the third position to the fifth directly.' Lin Wu analyzed.
"Which one of the Slim Arm Ape king's subordinated is close to reaching the Nascent Soul realm?" Lin Wu questioned.
"It's not just any subordinate but rather the son of the Slim Arm Ape King himself. Unlike the ape king, his son is more talented and apparently is a hybrid beast having two bloodlines." The Mole beast answered.
"Two bloodlines? Which one is the second one?" Lin Wu questioned.
Except for himself, Lin Wu had not seen any other beast that had two bloodlines in them, thus Lin Wu was intrigued by it.
"The rumor has it that the son of the Slim Arm Ape king was born from a Demon Spine Ape. I do now know what kind of beast it exactly is but due to it having two bloodlines it has progressed quite fast and is already in the pseudo Nascent soul realm." The Mole beast explained.
Lin Wu went over his memories and tried to remember if he had seen or read about this Demon Spine Ape before, but couldn't do it.
"System, do you have any data on the Demon Spine Ape?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: Currently no data is available on the Demon Spine Ape.
——
'Hmm… so no leads here either. Still, perhaps I should take a look myself later.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"Alright that will be enough for today, I'll contact you when needed." Lin Wu said before stopping the link.
He thought about the demon spine ape and wondered what kind of a beast it could be.
'Since there are no records of it in the system then it's likely that it's a lesser known beast.' Lin Wu thought.
The system had data on all the records that they had obtained from the study in Shirong's new courtyard, which had quite a bit of info on the local beasts and the native beasts of the Millennium Forest as well.
Meanwhile, Shirong was busy slaughtering more beasts.
"HAAAA! Take this!" He shouted as the two ends of the green crystal spear extended and sliced the beasts that were surrounding him in one go.
~huu~
Shirong took a tired breath as he looked at the scene of a massacre. There were corpses everywhere and blood was spilled too. The Strong stench of blood only helped to attract more and more of the beasts, thus speeding up their speed of hunting.
"System, show me the spirit qi and vital energy that I have right now." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
——
SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 80969 units [liquid spirit qi]
HOST CULTIVATION: Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.
-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [0000/24000] units (liquid spirit qi)
QI STORAGE: 93355 units [liquid spirit qi]
-
VITAL ENERGY OBTAINED: 86231 Units
VITAL ENERGY STORAGE: 199876 units
——
"OH DAMN! I've accumulated a heck lot of spirit qi, haven't I?" Lin Wu exclaimed.
Lin Wu had kind of put the increase of spirit qi and vital energy to the back of his mind as he had been focused on planning and killing the beasts most of the time. The system would take the required energy as needed and would regenerate his body's injuries.
The energy required for the system's own use was already set to automatic and was taken periodically as needed. Lin Wu had given the control to the system and had also increased the maximum cap that he had previously set on it.
'Alright, since I have all this. Time to make some changes.' Lin Wu thought.
"System, start converting the vital energy into vital essence." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
——
INITIATING CHECK: Checking for anomalies
CHECK COMPLETE: No anomalies found
CHECKING HOST VITALS: Vitals steady
INITIATING CONVERSION: Converting Vital energy to Vital essence
——
Lin Wu's body suddenly felt numb to him, and he lost control of it for a moment. In fact, even Shirong felt the change and became shocked. He immediately retreated to a safer area and placed the Immortal Crystal armament down.
He then set up a few defensive formations and went to stand about a hundred meters away. He had already learned from the few previous times and thought that it was better for him to be cautious. Shirong did not want to become an unlucky victim of his own weapon and die.
Lin Wu was currently feeling a warmth spreading in his body. This warmth would expand and contract as if the waves on the seashore. The contracting and expanding feeling increased more and more until a searing pain filled his body.
Lin Wu had expected something and thus had already given the system the ordures to suppress his voice, so that no one else would hear it. Still, he was shouting with all his might in his mind and bearing through the pain.
The searing pain lasted for about five minutes, after which it was replaced by a feeling of pleasure.
"Ah~ This is even better than when I obtained spirit qi…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
~Ding~
——
CONVERSION COMPLETED: New Stat added- Vital Essence
VITAL ESSENCE: 15638 units
Note: Auto Conversion is enabled.
——
The first thing Lin Wu saw was the number, which was less than it should have been according to the systems information.
"System why is there a discrepancy in the amount of vital essence that was obtained?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: Due to certain unforeseen circumstances, the host's body became unstable, but then the vital energy was used to compensate it at the same time. Until the host's body became acclimated to the Vital essence, the system continued to recover the injuries that were being inflicted.
——
"Huh… alright. That kind of makes sense, but since there was no notification then it means there really wasn't much danger, was there?"
