Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1014 Rewarding Hu Dagao And Next Step
Hu Dagao could feel the power of the claws.
They were crystal claws and seemed superior to the Great Hu claws he had nurtured for many years. It felt a little humiliating too on some level, as the Great Hu claws which he had nurtured with his blood couldn't compare to weapons which seemed to have been made causally.
He had intended for the Great Hu claws to reach the Pseudo Immortal rank and become his main weapon while he himself grew his cultivation base.
And yet, he had failed after just a little effort from Lin Wu. It had made him realize just how much true strength mattered. It was better to submit to the strong, rather than struggle to gain strength on his own, which might still fail in the future.
But this was not all, as Hu Dagao could sense the rank of the crystal claws too. They were easily peak grade spirit weapons, and that was not the end of it. From the information that had appeared in his mind, he knew about their functions too.
'This power… with spirit weapons this strong, I will have no problem battling Dao Treading realm experts!' Hu Dagao felt great confidence within him.
The information that had appeared in his mind told him that the Crystal Claws could not only absorb spirit Qi from the foes that he attacked with it, they could even transfer it to his body, allowing him to regenerate.
And if he killed someone with them, a large amount of their spirit Qi would be absorbed providing him an even greater boost. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
"This ability… it is similar in function to the Qi Sapping ticks, but this can be directly used in battle." Hu Dagao muttered to himself.
The Qi Sapping Ticks were raised for harvesting spirit Qi but they were made for a long-term cultivation. The Crystalline Claws on the other hand could directly provide him with a boost in strength.
Lin Wu heard Hu Dagao and knew that the man had already assessed the capabilities of the claws.
'I'd be disappointed if he couldn't with his talent. It isn't actually low.' Lin Wu had seen the man's Dantian and body.
Both of them were in good condition and could definitely grow a lot more. On some level, Hu Dagao even had an advantage in talent over Shirong due to the fact that he was a direct heir and had the bloodline of the Hu clan.
Though if they really fought now, it would be hard to tell simply due to the fact that Shirong had been under Lin Wu's 'care' for quite some time now. Even the Thunder Pool Serpent Bloodline had been awakened for him and thus he could actually compare with the Wide Claw Tiger Bloodline.
"They are called as Emeraldine Heart Claws. They can also repair themselves if they get damaged." Lin Wu informed Hu Dagao.
"The Emeraldine Heart Claws… I'll remember that." Hu Dagao felt like the name was good.
"Also… depending on how well your performance is… I'll upgrade them for you." Lin Wu threw out another carrot.
"Upgrade!?" Hu Dagao was stunned. "You can upgrade them further?"
"Yes. I'll turn them into a Pseudo-Immortal weapons." Lin Wu replied. "Even making them Immortal weapons might not be that far… but you'll need merits equivalent of that." He added.
~gulp~
Hu Dagao swallowed his saliva hearing this. He knew just how big this was.
'If he can casually make peak grade spirit weapons, and even upgrade them further on… he is certainly not in the spirit realm… he truly might be an immortal!' The image of Lin Wu only kept on rising in Hu Dagao's mind.
This was also Lin Wu's intention as he wanted the man to work as hard as possible.
After having 'raised' several of his subordinates and servants Lin Wu knew exactly how to make them motivated. After all when they were motivated, they could also make more people motivated.
This would raise the overall progress and give Lin Wu even more benefits.
"I'll make sure to never disappointed you… Master." Hu Dagao quickly changed the designation he had been using.
"Mmm… go on now. There's still some things to do, aren't there?" Lin Wu replied casually.
"Of course. I still need to coordinate the projects. Once they are done, I'll report back to you." Hu Dagao said before taking his leave.
And once he was gone, Lin Wu pulled up another window.
On it, one could see several guards standing in front of a large door.
"There it is… this should be the one." Lin Wu controlled the monitor and shifted the view into the door.
~shua~
Once the view shifted inside, he could see the circular room hidden within. Ten pillars held up the room and each of the pillars had thousands of runes carved on them. The floor had several intersecting patterns on it, all of which were linked up with the pillars.
"Is this the one, System?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~

"Bingo… That will be our entry point." Lin Wu smiled widely, his sharp fangs poking from the corner of his mouth. "Seems like we can get the next step started faster than expected."
Lin Wu left his temporary base for the time being and dug in a certain direction. A few minutes later he had arrived at his intended destination.
"It should be right above this… Let's tap in," Lin Wu raised his tail and extended a spike from it.
The spine directly pierced through the ground and continued to rise for over four hundred meters before stopping.
~DING~

"Good, good. Begin the takeover system!" Lin Wu ordered.
~humm~
With Lin Wu's orders, hundreds of runes formed before being injected into the Teleportation Array that was on the surface above.
