Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu watched on in interest as he saw a new technique being used. He knew that spirit Qi and vital Qi could be transferred to others as he had done that himself. But the difference was that he had done so using the system and not on how own. He wondered what kind of a technique would be required to do it.

Thankfully, the system was already recording it and Lin Wu would have the analysis soon enough. Even if the technique turned out to be relatively useless for him, it would still help in the extrapolation of data that would further speed up the analysis of other techniques. This was something he knew would be a key point in increasing his influence and power.

About two minutes passed as the woman's complexion kept on getting paler and paler. Her breaths got ragged and eventually, her skin started to wrinkle as well. Her hair started to turn white and even her eyes became dull. But she did not stop despite this and continued till nearly all of her vitality and Qi was transferred to Wang Xiong.

Lin Wu looked at the real body of the woman to see if any change had occurred there but except for a troubled expression on her face, her body seemed to be the same as before.

'Hmm… this illusory array is rather exemplary at simulation. I need to study this more, if I can apply this, fighting enemies may become a piece of cake.' Lin Wu thought.

When the woman was merely a bag of skin and bones, Wang Xiong woke up. 

"WHAT!" He shouted seeing the old woman in her arms.

"You… have… to… succeeded… senior… brother…" The woman said with difficulty.

Wang Xiong had a hard time recognizing that the woman in his arms was the junior sister that had been accompanying him all these days. 

"You… used that forbidden technique? Where did you even learn it?" Wang Xiong questioned but received no answer.

~Sigh~

"Just tell me when we return to the real world. We cannot let the others know of this, if anyone from the sect finds out, they will kill you." Wang Xiong stated.

There was a faint nod from the woman as she took her last breath and passed away. While Wang Xiong was sad about this, he was at least content that she had not died in real life. Some new feelings had also risen in his heart for the junior sister and he didn't know what to think of them.

'First to pass this trial and get out of here… we were not ready for this inheritance…' Wang Xiong thought.

He flew up and looked around. There was no announcement for the completion of the trial and thus he knew there must be something more he needed to do. There were no more of the shadow dread beasts around him which meant that there was a secondary goal that he still needed to complete.

~Rumble~

It was now that a loud rumbling sound was heard and Wang Xiong saw the Shadow Tide recede.

"What is that?" he muttered.

In the area that the Shadow Tide had receded from, Wang Xiong saw a huge fleshy egg. The egg was even bigger than that of the large shadow dread beast he had killed with Glacier crash and was currently throbbing. 

"Are those its heartbeats?" Wang Xiong wondered.

A serious expression appeared on his face as he understood what he finally needed to do to pass this trial. He took flight and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the Guan Dao, increasing his speed by three times. While flying he made gestures with his arms and runes formed around him. 

Frosty air materialized around him but this time the color of the air was different from the usual blue. It was a grayish blue color and its temperature seemed to be much lower than the normal frosty air. His clothes and body started to become covered in ice as a determined expression appeared on his face. 

~Shua~

The ice continued forming and as Lin Wu looked on, Wang Xiong had turned himself into a giant flying ice Guan Dao. 

~Crack~

~Splatters

The Ice Guan Dao pierced into the large fleshy egg and Black blood plastered all over the place. The blood was missed with some other kinds of corrosive fluids that made a sizzling sound as they dripped out.

"That was new…" Lin Wu muttered feeling a bit impressed by the technique.

"The Trial has been completed!" The voice announced and Wang Xiong was transported back to the real world.

~Ding~

——

FOURTH TRIAL COMPLETED: One contender successful 

TRIAL CONTINUATION: Terminated

ASSIGNING REWARDS: Calculating 

REWARD TO BE GRANTED: Basic level inheritance

——

Lin Wu read the notification and knew that his changes that he had made previously had worked. What he had done was to basically reduce the number of trials while increasing the difficulty of the fourth trial by three levels. This way, the trial could be completed quicker while also keeping the reward to the minimum as he wanted.

"Now to wait for them to reach the inheritance room." Lin Wu muttered as he looked at the screen.

The six cultivators were just starting to awake and held their heads, as a piercing headache assaulted their senses.

"ARGH!" Su Wen yelled.

He was the one who had been taken over by the shadow tide and was thus affected the most. Wang Xiong had also woken up and was looking at the woman who had saved him. She was awake too but seemed to be a bit dazed.

~Sigh~

"At least well all survived." He muttered/

~Ding~

——

TELEPORTATION FORMATION: Activated

TELEPORTING: five failed contenders

——

A flash of light happened and the five failed cultivators were sent to the entrance area of the tomb, leaving Wang Xiong alone.

He signed ahead and looked at the wall that had now started moving.

~Ding~

——

OPENING INHERITANCE LEVEL: Successful 

——

Wang Xiong knew that this was the next level and walked there. But upon reaching there he saw something that shocked him.
