Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 808 The Reborn Spear

Shirong continued to wait until finally he saw some movement in the ocean of clouds below.

"Huh? They are moving?" Shirong saw a small hole opening up in the clouds down below.

~WHOOSH~

Few moments after that, a gust of wind shot up from it!

Shirong could feel the residual wind from it hitting his face and blowing his head behind.

"This wind… it's strong…" Shirong muttered to himself and analyzed.

He looked at the clothes he was wearing and had an idea. He removed his outer robes and tied up the sleeves first before tearing the mid seam and expanding the width of the robes.

"Hopefully this works…" Shirong said as a determined expression appeared on his face.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he jumped from the tree!

He soared through the air with nothing below him and finally reached the spot where the wind was the strongest.

"NOW!" Shirong quickly spread his hands apart and let the robes catch the wind current.

~PUFF~

The robes were instantly inflated with the air and puffed up. Shirong's body tugged on it and started to pull it down.

"HAHAHA! IT WORKED!" Shirong laughed.

But just five seconds later, his laughing face became a frowning face.

"Fuck…" the wind current stopped blowing and Shirong rapidly started to fall.

He once again experienced gravity and the effects of air resistance before igniting and turning to ashes.

While Shirong had gotten the solution, he had not grasped the timing yet. The time taken for him to make that lanky parachute was too much and he had lost too much of the wind current.

~shua~

The illusion disappeared as Shirong failed the trial once more.

He opened his eyes in the real world but didn't have a frown like before.

"I got it… next time will be the time I pass!" Shirong said to himself.

"That might be it, but you will have to wait for a bit." A voice was suddenly heard from behind him.

Shirong was not startled by the sudden voice though and had already gotten used to it and was rather familiar with it, too.

"Ape monk." Shirong replied.

He had started using this title to address the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape as his full name was too long.

"The King has called for you." Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape informed.

Hearing this, Shirong's face lit up, and he immediately stood up. "I'm heading right away!"

He moved like the wind and left the Shrine swiftly, leaving the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape behind, watching his back with a smile.

"He is truly on a different level. The kids from before took nearly eight months on this trial." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape recalled.

The Frozen Cloud disciples had discovered the air currents back then as well, but couldn't help their companions much. The reason behind it being that the wind current's appearance was at different for everyone.

Even if the first gust of wind appeared at the same time for all, the latter ones had different times of appearing and different durations as well.

All this meant that they couldn't simply cheat by knowing the timings.

Though this was also the last trial that was like this and tested one's patience and analytical capabilities.

The ones after these were ones that purely tested one's combat capabilities. Those were trials that could be sped through as long as one had the right power. Lin Wu knew that this would be the same for Shirong and that he would probably steam roll through most of them.

Thus, he just decided to get him a little boost before that.

"The spear will speed that up more. I need to get my AFK bot the right programming, after all. The more optimized it is, the more I'll benefit. Hehehe~" Lin Wu muttered to himself and waited for Shirong to come.

It didn't take long, and soon Shirong was teleported into the hall.

"Greetings Senior!" Shirong cupped and bowed his head.

"You've done rather well." Lin Wu praised.

It was a fact, and Shirong had truly exceeded the times needed to cover the trials.

"Thank you, senior." Shirong simply replied.

"Here," Lin Wu took out the newly made a crystal spear from the storage.

Shirong's eyes fell on the new spear and lit up like a lamp.

He lightly extended his hands that lightly trembled and firmly clasped onto the shaft of the spear. The cool surface of the shaft combined with the powerful feeling of aura coming from it, made him feel comfortable.

'Finally… I can hold you again.' Shirong thorough to himself, unaware that this spear was an entirely new spirit weapon now.

"I've made some changes to it to make it functional again, though there are still limitations on it. You will learn them once you brand it with your spirit sense once more." Lin Wu spoke.

Shirong nodded his head and used his spirit sense to put a brand on the spear. He still remembered the first time he had done it and the large amount of spirit Qi that needed it back then.

'Wonder how much it'll take now.' Shirong thought.

p But much to his surprise, nothing happened.

"Huh? It just branded directly?" Shirong muttered in surprise.

"The spear is essentially remade at this point, so the brand will be easier to place. You can discover the rest of the things on your own." Lin Wu informed.

"Thank you for your grace, senior." Shirong said with gratitude.

"Mm… you can head back now." Lin Wu stated.

"Umm… Senior." Shirong didn't leave right away though and hesitantly spoke.

Lin Wu saw his expression and guessed what he might be thinking about.

"There is still no beast close to a breakthrough, yet thus you will have to wait for a tribulation longer." Lin Wu said calmly. "I'll inform you when it's the time."

"Then I'll wait patiently." Shirong replied before teleporting away.

With him gone, Lin Wu looked at a particular window and looked for beasts.

"Hmm… there are three beasts close to a breakthrough. Guess I can prioritize them for later." Lin Wu picked his new servants.
