Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 922 New Arm, Chimeric Spirit Qi And A Wedding Announcement

About ten minutes later, the 'surgery' was finally completed and Cang Ci opened her eyes.

It was a surgery completely without anesthesia and thus incredibly painful. Not to mention, it wasn't something as simple as a cut being sewn but rather an entire arm bone being replaced.

If it weren't for the fact that Cang Ci had developed a strong will power and an even greater pain tolerance, she might have just died from the pain. It was not something easily endured by any cultivator.

Lin Wu couldn't suppress Cang Ci's pain receptors either. The system had tried that when they did the implant the first time, but it was in conflict with the adaptation process. If he did that and the pain was suppressed, the adaptation might go in a wrong path and Cang Ci might not realize until it was too late.

"There, it is done." Lin Wu said.

Cang Ci looked at her arm that looked the same as it was before. But when she felt it, the difference was profound.

~CRACK~

She clenched her fist, creating a cracking sound as the air compressed within it.

"For your arm, I added a different kind of a formation. It is unlike the normal augmenting fomentation arrays on your internal organs." Lin Wu informed.

"A new formation?" Cang Ci wondered what it was like.

The other formations she had on her internal organs were all supportive ones. But upon sensing the one in her arm, she could tell it was made for offense.

~Zzzzz~

A strange sound was heard before Cang Ci felt her skin erupt in blisters. It looked horrifying but there was no actual pain or discomfort.

~pop~

The blisters burst apart, revealing a pale white layer. The layer was unlike skin and was hard. There were small spikes on it and covered the entirety of her arm, while on her elbow there was a larger spike.

Her fingers on the other hand, had turned into sharp bone claws. Not just that, but Cang Ci could feel a new set of meridians in her arm now. They wove through the dense bone layer on the top of her arm and channeled plenty of spirit Qi into it.

"Try it out," Lin Wu suggested.

Cang Ci took out a large object from her storage ring. It was large enough to cover her entire body and was dark grey in color. Spirit Qi fluctuations could also be felt coming from it and they were rather high.

The object was actually a High Grade spirit tool in the form of a Great Shield.

Cang Ci pulled back her bone claws before slashing at the Great Shield.

~SCREECH~

The sound of metal being torn apart could be heard as sparks flew. Five claw marks appeared on the surface of the Great Shield that was nearly five inches thick. Each claw mark was just a little over an inch deep.

"This is… amazing!" Cang Ci said in excitement.

Lin Wu nodded his head in approval.

"If you amplify it with your spirit Qi, the effect will be a lot stronger. You should also be able to use your Qi skills a lot better with your new arm." Lin Wu spoke.

"Really?" Cang Ci was impressed.

She looked at her new arm before activating a Qi skill she had comprehended on her own.

The Chimeric Revolution Cultivation Technique depended on the person using it to comprehend everything on their own. While they could use other Qi skills, as usual, they could also make their own.

Feng had done this and so had Cang Ci.

After all, the Qi skills that they comprehend on their own would be a lot stronger than the other Qi skills they learned. Especially when they were used with the unique type of spirit Qi that is formed from the Chimeric Revolution Cultivation Technique.

Lin Wu had named this new type of spirit Qi, the Chimeric spirit Qi.

Its properties were complex and could actually change according to the user's own wishes and control. If need be, the Chimeric Spirit Qi could readily transform into any of the five mortal and four heavenly elemental spirit Qis.

After all as the creator, Lin Wu knew the Chimeric Spirit Qi itself was formed from the amalgamation of multiple types of elements. Though if he were to classify the Chimeric Spirit Qi, he would classify it as a derivative type of spirit Qi.

There were a lot of such derivate spirit Qis, like sword Qi, spear Qi, shadow Qi and so on in the Chimeric Spirit Qi too. At first, Lin Wu wondered if it was limited to the types of elements that he himself knew, but after seeing Feng and Cang Ci comprehend new things, he realized that the Chimeric Spirit Qi had great potential that went beyond the basics.

Lin Wu watched on as Cang Ci executed one of her own Qi skills.

~SHUA~

Her bone covered arm and claws glowed in a light green light before it flowed out like strings of silk. The strings of silk formed a dome that was directly attached to Cang Ci's arm.

"The efficiency is nearly doubled…" Cang Ci was even more surprised.

Usually, this skill needed a lot more spirit Qi to activate, but now it had done so in just half.

~BANG~

Cang Ci knocked on the Great Shield using the dome on her arm and dented it with ease.

"Amazing... Leaf Silk Shield can actually be this strong." Cang Ci muttered.

Leaf Silk Shield was the Qi skill that she had created. It was a fast use skill that could make a shield that could compare to that of a Mid to high grade spirit tool in defense. But now that she used it with her new arm, its power was even greater than that of a High Grade shield.

Even though her Qi skill was something she knew would grow stronger with her cultivation base, this was still a jump in power.

Cang Ci suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Wu with intense desire in her eyes.

"When can I get the next implant, master?" Cang Ci was feeling impatient.

The rapid increase in strength was a feeling that could only be described as euphoric. The fact that it came after great pain only seemed to make it that much more attractive to Cang Ci.

"Uhh… Remind me a week later." Lin Wu threw out. "We need to see if there are any more issues. After all, this arm has a different kind of formation, an offensive one." He explained.

"Ah yes… I wait till then. I'll also inform you if there is any problem." Cang Ci said with a smile.

"Mmhmm… you can return to your work, then." Lin Wu replied.

"Work? I'm done, master. Do you have anything more for me to do?" Cang Ci replied.

'Oh yeah… she finished the mission.' Lin Wu recalled. 'What do I give her now? If I leave her be, she'll just get impatient even more.' He wondered.

The windows in the side of his vision kept on scrolling as Lin Wu tried to find something suitable. Cang Ci knew that Lin Wu was thinking, so she didn't disturb him and just waited till he was done.

But when five minutes passed, Cang Ci took out a jade slip. She held it and heard a message.

"Master, there is news." Cang Ci said, making Lin Wu snap out of his search.

"What news?" Lin Wu questioned.

"The news is from Cang Lan Sect. They've sent out a large scale announcement to everyone in the Long Continent." Cang Ci said and took a pause. "They are officially announcing the wedding date of their patriarch's daughter and the Chief Disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect, Wang Xiong." She continued.

"Oh? They decided to do it now?" Lin Wu had not expected this.

Originally, Wang Xiong was supposed to get married about a year ago. At least according to the timeline set when the engagement was set. But all that had to change with the many troublesome issues that rose up.

The biggest one was the Calamity Fiend and the terror it spread.

Since it was affecting multiple kingdoms and sects, including the Frozen Cloud sect's territory, the Cang Lan sect had decided to wait a while more.

Though Lin Wu knew that the reality was a little more complex. While the Cang Lan sect made it seem like they were giving some grace time to Wang Xiong and the Frozen Cloud sect, it wasn't the complete truth.

Through his informants, Lin Wu had learned that the Cang Lan sect was having its own set of issues. The main one being the choice of the bride.

The Daughter of the Patriarch was being opposed by the other outstanding female disciples of the sect. They were all women who could compare to her in cultivation base, even if they might fall back a little in terms of status.

Wang Xiong's rapid growth and confirmed status as the next sect master had made a lot of girl's desire him. He was one of the most eligible bachelors of the Long Continent right now.

Perhaps only Shirong and the other young masters of the top three clans might be able to compare to him.

Rather than being an elder in the Cang Lan sect, a lot of girls would prefer to be the wife of the next patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect.

The girls made use of their backers and parents, who were also elders of the sect, to force the Patriarch to give them a chance as well.
