Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

605 The Shock Of Wang Xiong And Ye Jin

Having heard Lin Wu's warning, Wang Xiong realized just what kind of a mistake he was making. He was used to being in the sect for too long such that he could speak against other elders and be fine.

Even if he protested against the patriarch, who was his master, he would at most be reprimanded. But in front of Lin Wu, he felt completely different. He felt like doing something like this again would get himself erased.

The gaze he got from Lin Wu was the most fierce gaze he had seen. It was as if eons of vicissitudes were hidden in them and would hammer him down if he ever did something. He understood just how wrong he was.

'Even master is nothing in front of senior who has lived hundreds of times more than him. If he has done this, he must have a proper reason for it.' Wang Xiong finally came to the conclusion.

Ye Jin on the other hand, was far more terrified than Wang Xiong. She wasn't as used to facing various elders and people of higher cultivation, not to mention it had only been a couple of days since she got to meet Lin Wu.

His appearance and power were both something that was very hard to get used to. Not to mention he had also defeated their sect's guardian, who was technically the oldest elder in the entire sect.

She had always been on guard with Lin Wu and was thus able to sense it very quickly when Wang Xiong seemed to have stepped on a certain boundary. Ever since she died in the trials of the tomb, her sense of danger had gotten many times better.

And at that moment, she felt the greatest danger of her life. Even though it wasn't even directed towards her.

She could only grab Wang Xiong's hand and hope that he stopped. Only after Wang Xiong apologize did she take a breath of relief.

Lin Wu who had been observing the two for a few seconds, didn't know what was going in their minds. To him, Wang Xiong was just being irritating and he didn't want to deal with that right now.

He didn't even know his casual 'no' caused the two to think so many thoughts.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Wu decided to speak again.

"What do you two think of that beast?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Huh? The beast?" Wang Xiong was confused.

He thought deeply, as he didn't want to offend Senior Lin Wu again and wanted to be sure of what he wanted to know. After thinking for a minute, Wang Xiong hoped that he had the appropriate response.

"That beast is… very strong." Wang Xiong stated.

Lin Wu raised his brows, feeling that the answer was rather unexpected.

"You want some detail in that?" Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

"The beast is… unique?" Wang Xiong replied.

~Sigh~

"Alright, I'll take that. But yes, he is certainly unique." Lin Wu nodded his head.

"What do you think his cultivation base is?" Lin Wu questioned next.

This prompted Wang Xiong and Ye Jin to probe the beast with their spirit sense. But when they got closer to the beast, they realized a surprising thing.

"Huh? Why doesn't our… spirit sense enter his body?" Wang Xiong wondered.

"Not just that… he has no spirit sense fluctuation coming off his body either." Ye Jin added.

The weasel beast was calmly sleeping on the pile of leaves and was completely clueless about what was happening around him. For him, only sleep was the thing he wanted, and he was getting it.

"Now do you see?" Lin Wu replied.

"How is this possible? And what is his cultivation base?" Wang Xiong questioned.

"It is due to the unique bloodline it has developed, as for his cultivation base… he's at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm." Lin Wu answered.

~gasp~

Hearing this, both Wang Xiong and Ye Jin were shocked.

"He… he didn't feel that strong when we fought. If he really is at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm, couldn't he have killed us all very easily?" Wang Xiong asked.

"He could have, yes. As for him not being strong, that was simply the effect of the agitation jade. It reduced his intelligence and prevented him from using all the abilities he had.

Though his physical strength is still not something to joke about. In your case, I would say you and your subordinates were lucky to retreat at the right time. Plus, the weasel beast had better food to eat and thus didn't have as great of a drive to hunt you down." Lin Wu replied.

"I see… but that's not all, is it? If senior is interested in this beast, there must be more to it." Wang Xiong guessed.

"Indeed. How old do you think that beast is?" Lin Wu questioned.

Hearing this, Wang Xiong and Ye Jin both furrowed their brows. They tried to use all the information about beasts they had and analyzed the fact. They took into consideration the size of the weasel and the cultivation base, before comparing it with other types of weasel beasts.

"It should be at least three or four hundred years old, right?" Wang Xiong estimated.

"Ahahah!" hearing that number, Lin Wu couldn't help but laugh.

"He is younger than both of you." Lin Wu chuckled.

"WHAT!? How's that possible?" Ye Jin exclaimed.

"He's less than two hundred years old?" Wang Xiong guessed.

"No, he's not two hundred years old. He's around fifty years old." Lin Wu revealed.

~thud~

Wang Xiong simply fell on the ground, having heard this, while Ye Jin's jaw was wide open in shock as well.

"H-how… how is that even possible? Even with the support of resources, reaching just the Nascent soul realm is difficult, not to mention reaching the Adult Soul stage." Wang Xiong stated.

"He's not just at the Adult Soul Stage, he's at the very peak of it. I don't think it would be a problem for it to break through to the Dao Shell realm in a couple of years.
