Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 896 Feng's Condition

"You're finally here." A voice spoke in the dark shop.

"Senior!" Feng easily recognized it.

~shua~

In the next moment, several orbs of fire appeared in the dark shop, illuminating it. The orbs of fire floated and were burning without a fuel.

Feng was a little surprised by it, but reckoned it was probably the work of Lin Wu. This was confirmed when one of Lin Wu's tentacles that was transformed into a head rose from the broken floor.

"Seems like you've been progressing steadily. You've certainly accomplished the task I gave you." Lin Wu said in a pleased tone.

"Y-yes. I hope I didn't disappoint you." Feng said with a little nervousness. "I was a bit worried since you didn't contact me even after a month passed." He added.

"I was a occupied by something, but I knew of your progress." Lin Wu lied without a hitch. "And not just that, you've gone beyond what was asked of you and reached the Early stage of the Core Condensation realm." He continued.

"I was lucky. It just happened and I don't exactly know how." Feng said honestly.

It was still unknown to him how the explosion and his breakthrough happened.

"What do you remember?" Lin Wu questioned.

Feng then went on to tell him all that had happened in the past two months. He told Lin Wu how he had a hard time cultivating at first and the drowning feeling that he got every time.

This greatly intrigued Lin Wu, as he was sure this was not calculated by the system at all. Then hearing that Feng actually mustered through the feeling and increased the time he could handle it, Lin Wu was even more surprised.

"You did good." Lin Wu praised, making Feng feel warm.

"Though considering the unexpected obstacle you came across, I should check your body for any problems." Lin Wu stated.

"Yes, senior. I want to know more, too." Feng replied.

"Very well. Just stand still." Lin Wu said as another tentacle appeared out of the ground, this one a lot slimmer.

The tentacle moved quickly through the air and touched Feng's forehead. The moment it did, Feng felt his senses dull, and he entered a strange state. He couldn't feel his body, nor could he perceive his surroundings.

It was almost as if he was asleep.

Lin Wu on the other hand, began his work.

"System, do a full scan on him and also check his memories." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

The system actually took longer than usual to scan, which surprised Lin Wu. This was especially because Feng also had the Pentagem Implant in him, which should have made the process faster.

"Probably something has changed. Was it due to the cultivation technique or something else?" Lin Wu wondered.

Hearing the account of how Feng felt while cultivating was intriguing to Lin Wu. According to the simulations that the system had run, this sort of thing should not have happened.

'What Feng experience feels like something that would happen with an incomplete or incorrect cultivation technique. There's no way it should happen with the system synthesized one…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Then there was also the fact that his breakthrough had caused an explosion strong enough to break a defensive formation array.

'If it was a breakthrough to the Nascent souls realm, and the explosion was caused by a heavenly tribulation lightning bolt, it would be understandable. But this… is not normal.' Lin Wu pondered on the matter while the system finished its work.

A few minutes later, he finally got the notification.

~DING~

——

Right away Lin Wu could tell that there were several unusual things going on with Feng. The system also showed the internals of Feng on a separate window. This showed his Dantian, meridians and the core.

"The system actually can't recognize the core?" Lin Wu was surprised.

He knew that there were actually different kinds of core, and the system even had the data on a lot of them. It even had the data from higher worlds due to the memories of the Skull god.

And even if something was unknown, it should be able to analyze and speculate on what it was.

Then there was also the fact that Feng's vitals were stable despite the fact that there was a change in his meridian pathways. Unknown changes like these were often dangerous and led to Qi deviation.

"Did he mess up his cultivation?" Lin Wu wondered as he directly peered into Feng using his spirit sense.

He checked Feng's organs and muscles, finding them to be in a good shape.

'They recovered from the injuries Yang Ranran inflicted?' Lin Wu discovered. "Wait, could the meridian change be due to Yang Ranran's forceful probing?" he wondered.

But upon scanning all the meridians, Lin Wu didn't see any damaging change. They didn't seem to have been deviated or bent in any way. Instead, it looked like they had naturally grown in this manner.

"Is his spirit Qi circulation faster?" Lin Wu noticed.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: Feng's spirit Qi circulation speed has increased by 1.25 times compared to before.

——

"That's good… but how?" Lin Wu still didn't understand.

Lin Wu continued to look further and arrived in Feng's Dantian. There he saw the lone core spinning silently. The core was about the size of a marble, bigger than the average cultivator.

But at the same time, it did not look normal. Instead of having the usual translucent white color, it had a prismatic hue to it. As if it was made with glass that scattered the light in multiple colors.
