Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 242 - Analysis Speed Increase?

Shirong was currently standing in one of the training halls of the Lu clan. This training hall was rather special though as it was utilized by the clan head Lu himself. Shirong had asked to use this as he wanted to test out his skills now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

He could have very well done this outside the city, but with the current populace that was looking at his every move, Clan head Lu suggested that he stay here instead. Shirong too thought that exposing his abilities right from the get-go would not be that beneficial to him and obliged.

The Immortal Crystal Armament was already stored in the spatial storage, and Shirong wanted to see his own skills for now. Testing out his skill with the immoral crystal armament was only problematic and was not something he wanted to do here.

It was fine if Clan Head Lu saw his own skills, but he could not let them know that the armor was more than just an armor. So instead of that, Shirong simply used a spirit sword for it.

"Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Sky Parting Thunder!" He yelled.

~Rumble~

Sparks flew everywhere as a large amount of lightning attribute spirit Qi condensed onto his spirit sword. This spirit Qi was not sourced from his Dantian and was newly converted. Shirong wanted to know why a difference like this was created.

Now that he was using his skill, he could tell that his speed of refinement had increase day quite a lot. It didn't even take him two seconds before his attribute less spirit Qi was refined into lightning element spirit Qi.

He swung his sword and a beam of lightning was shot out, and it was as if it would tear the sky apart. The sound of thunder could be heard as the attack progressed ahead and then stuck the target at the end.

~KABOOM~

A loud expansion rang, and the target which was a wooden dummy, was instantly vaporized. Clan head Lu was watching the entire thing and was shocked. His eyes were wide open and his hands were trembling.

The dummy that Shirong had just vaporized was no normal training dummy, rather it was made out of tough spirit wood, which was used to making weapons and armors. But not only that, it was also inscribed with formations that made it more durable and increased its defense.

Clan Head Lu could very well destroy the dummy too, but to do so would require all of his strength. While Shirong here had just used a casual attack of his. Clan head Lu could very well tell the difference between the two now.

Clan Head Lu was at the Child stage of the Nascent Soul realm and Shirong was one stage below at the infant stage. Yet even then, their strengths were greatly varied. Clan Head Lu knew he was no match for Shirong now. He reckoned that even if a few Nascent Soul realm cultivators banded together to fight Shirong, he would still win.

~Sigh~

"The younger generation is bound to shadow the old. Young master Shirong's strength is incredible." Clan Head Lu praised.

Shirong did not attack again after the first time as he had understood well. Nothing would be able to bear his attacks here.

"Thank you for the compliment, Clan Head Lu, but I still have a lot to learn." Shirong spoke.

Clan Head Lu gave a simple smile and thought about how he had successfully established a relationship with young master Shirong. He and the other clans had already witnessed Shirong's monstrous talent, and he was the only one who had the opportunity to capitalize on it.

'Hopefully, my granddaughters get lucky. Even if one of them is successful, my clan's future will be secured.' Clan Head Lu thought to himself.

He looked at Shirong, who was staring at the mountains for some reason.

"Something wrong, young master?" Clan Head Lu asked.

"…No… nothing. I thought I felt something…" Shirong replied as he shook his head.

He didn't know why, but he could sense a very faint feeling from far away. It was coming from the mountains to the north, but it faded away rather quickly.

"I see. What will you be doing now, young master? Will you be leaving?" Clan Head Lu questioned.

"Yes. It is time for me to head on ahead. I have to complete certain tasks that my clan has given me." Shirong replied.

"Hmm… it is understandable. I guess you're heading to the Capital City of the Ling Kingdom?" Clan Head Lu asked further.

"Yes, I need to do some things there before heading ahead," Shirong replied.

"You will need to stay wary of Minister Du Yang if you are going there, young master. The news about you breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm has no doubt reached the royal court by now." Clan Head Lu said.

"I know. Besides… I have a few questions I want to ask him myself, anyway." Shirong said, as an evil glint could be seen in his eyes for a moment.

"Hoho! Seems like our boy here is finally going to act… Hehe." Lin Wu chuckled, finding the entire thing entertaining.

While Shirong was testing his skills, Lin Wu was not sitting idle either. The system was actively observing and analyzing his condition and gathering more data. This was helping in its analysis of the Immortal Sky Shaker art.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: Cultivation technique analysis at 50%.

——

Lin Wu had asked the system to notify him when specific milestones were reached and this was one of them.

"Great, the speed has really increased by a lot more compared to the snail pace before." Lin Wu said feeling content.

Before it had barely progressed by ten percent in over two months, but now in less than fifteen days, it had reached fifty percent. All of this was due to the additional data that Lin Wu had gathered, which allowed the system to upgrade its data banks.

But this was still not the end for him.

"Haha, now that we're heading to the capital, there is no doubt I will have more opportunities to gather data."
