Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

After having decided his next goal, Lin Wu's attention went back to the last remaining innate skill in the list.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

Innate skill: Cellular crystallization

Skill grade: Great

Proficiency: Basic

Description: The skill cellular crystallization allows the host to change the structure of the host's cells into an inorganic crystalline form. The host can also revert his cells back into the organic form if he chooses to do so. The host's body functions normally in the crystalline form and has increased defense. The host is resistant to external elements such as heat and cold in this form. The host's crystal form is also naturally radioactive and will turn the environment that he lives in radioactive. Reverting to the organic form will return the host's previous capabilities of reproduction.

Note: At host's current proficiency, it can do everything that is mentioned in the description. Upgrading the skills grade will result in new abilities being added and the skill description will be enhanced.

"Ah, finally a skill that actually works as it is described and does not have hidden terms and conditions like some shitty insurance scheme." Lin Wu spoke in praise.

Lin Wu then looked at the next item in the list that intrigued him, it was the beast core. He had been wondering what that was and had guessed that it was something that would be formed when he reached the qi refining realm.

But now that he was actually in the qi refining realm, there did not appear to be a beast core in his body. He wondered why.

"System, what is the beast core for?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

ANSWER: The beast core is the organ that can store the spirit qi of a beast that has reached the core condensation realm. Before that, the spirit qi is stored in the beasts meridians and flesh. Usually, a beast can only form a core when it reaches the core condensation realm similar to humans. But there are exceptions where the beast can form the core in the peak stage of the qi refining realm. Such cores are called as pseudo cores and are usually formed by beasts that have bloodlines that are either rare or unique.

Note: If the host gives the permission the system can simulate the formation of a beast core.

—————————————————————————————————

Lin Wu carefully read the system's answer and was a little dumbfounded after reading the note a the end. He then realized the situation.

'Wait, hasn't system been storing the spirit qi all this time, anyway?' Lin Wu thought.

"What do you mean by simulating the beast core, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

ANSWER: The system can store spirit qi in itself, thus it can use this to simulate a beast core. This core will function the same as a real beast core and can exist in addition to the host's own core when he forms one. Though the system does not have the restriction like that of the host.

If the host gives the permission, then the system can form the beast core even while the host is still in the qi refining realm. Though if the host chooses to do so then, the host will only be able to use a fraction of the beast core's capabilities.

—————————————————————————————————

After reading the answer Lin Wu felt a little excited. He had not expected to receive an answer like this.

"What is the cost of the formation of a core, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

The host will require at least a thousand units of spirit qi(liquid) to form the pseudo core.

—————————————————————————————————

"Huh, that's not that much?" Lin Wu said with confusion.

He reread the answer and then saw the additional word that was added to the end of spirit qi, which was liquid. He had seen the status screen before and it only showed the measurements of spirit qi in wisps and not in liquid form. Lin Wu wondered what the difference between the two units was.

"System, what is the equivalent of liquid spirit qi units in wisps?" Lin Mu questioned.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

ANSWER: one unit of liquid spirit qi is equivalent to ten units of spirit qi wisps.

—————————————————————————————————

"What!? There's no way I can accumulate that much spirit qi right now. All the spirit qi I have is only enough to reach the second stage of the qi refining realm, I won't use it on that right now." Lin Wu exclaimed to himself.

~Sigh~

"I guess, I'll just have to wait till then. It's not a problem though, I guess, I got more than a hundred years to accomplish it now." Lin Wu assured himself.

Lin Wu's attention finally came to the last item on the list, which was the Raw bloodline data. It had a new addition to it at the end. All that new addition said was unknown and nothing else.

"System, what is this unknown bloodline in the list?" Lin Wu questioned feeling confused.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

ANSWER: The system obtained a bloodline from the large crystal that the host had found. The system modified and altered the host's body in accordance with the compatibility of the energy source. The host obtained some of his abilities from the green crystal that he had touched.

Note: The system also obtained a data node (encrypted) from the large crystal. According to the systems data bank, the data node that the system obtained is the bloodline memories of a unique beast. Due to the complexity of the data and lack of information, the system cannot decipher it. If the host gives permission, then the system can activate the computational A.I. to unlock it. The system will also consume energy when this function is in use.

—————————————————————————————————

"Ah~, it's just another item that I can't use for a bit." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

~Phew~

Lin Wu took a breath of relief once he had ensured that he had read all the terms from the data window.

"I should now decide on my new name. Let's see… Hmm, I got a crystal body which I can manipulate and I also have eyes that float around." Lin Wu thought.

Lin Wu pondered for a bit until when he finally reached a decision.

"That's it, the name for my species will be …."
