Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu watched on as the Twin Lights Liger King deliberated on his decision. He gave him a minute but the beast replied rather quickly.

"I accept… at least this is better than dying to the seal and being bound forever." The Twin Lights Liger King stated.

"Good. You won't regret it. Plus, being my subordinate comes with benefits too. Oh, and you won't be restricted by the seal anymore. If you want to, you can continue to cultivate and breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm." Lin Wu said, trying to lift the beast's mood a little bit.

Lin Wu wasn't particularly upset with the Twin Lights Liger King. He actually preferred having the beast as a subordinate than it being dead. After all, even if the beast was killed and Lin Wu ate him, the most he would get is a bloodline that won't necessarily be useful to him at this point.

But if the Twin Lights Liger King agreed, then Lin Wu would get an experienced and smart subordinate that knew a lot about the forest and its history. Not to mention that it also knew about the history of humans nearby… at least a certain part of it.

Lin Wu's tactic of scaring the Twin Lights Liger King had worked perfectly.

The Twin Lights Liger King though, was stunned hearing this. He thought that even if he was released from the seal, he would be unable to break through, but he could feel that Lin Wu was telling the truth.

"I can really breakthrough?" The Twin Lights Liger King asked in disbelief.

"Not just you. Now all beasts should be able to do it. The seal will no longer restrain them since it now depends on me." Lin Wu confirmed.

"This… how did you do it? No one has ever been able to do it. And what about that being in the sea?" The Twin Lights Liger King questioned.

"Let's just say I have my methods. As for the being in there, it will stay sealed eternally. I'll make sure of that." Lin Wu answered.

The Twin Lights Liger King knew that Lin Wu did not want to fully reveal his skill, but that was understandable to him.

'Everyone has their secrets… as long as he keeps his end of the promise, I don't care anymore.' The Twin Lights Liger King thought.

While the Twin Lights Liger King was going through a string of thoughts, Lin Wu was preparing something else.

"Is it ready now, system?" Lin Wu asked.

"Affirmative," the system replied.

"Alright, let's begin then." Lin Wu said in his mind before looking at the Twin Lights Liger King.

"Oh, and before we leave, I got one thing to do. Come here," Lin Wu ordered.

The Twin Lights Liger King stepped towards Lin Wu, not knowing what he wanted. He wasn't afraid that Lin Wu would attack or kill him, since there was no use for a sneak attack. Lin Wu was strong enough to kill him outright anyway.

Lin Wu meanwhile, lifted his tail and extended a small spike from it.

"Now then… don't move. I'll be making you my official subordinate." Lin Wu stated.

~gulp~

The Twin Lights Liger King couldn't help but swallow his saliva, not knowing what Lin Wu was about to do. He even wondered if this was going to be painful or not. But soon felt a different sensation.

~DING~

PENTAGEM INJECTION: Initiating 

PROBE INJECTED: Please wait a moment...

INJECTION COMPLETED: Pentagem has been successfully implanted 

HOST DATA: Updated

NEW SUBORDINATE ADDED: Twin Lights Liger King

——

The Twin Lights Liger King felt like his body had gone cold for a second and then he felt a warmth spreading from his forehead. He didn't even realize that a pentagonal gem had been implanted there.

~shua~

"Ugh! What's this?" The Twin Lights Liger King said out loud, as a wave of discomfort assailed him.

"Just wait a bit. It'll pass. Your body is getting used to my bloodline." Lin Wu stated.

The Twin Lights Liger King was stunned upon hearing this and tried to use his spirit sense to check what was happening. But was then shocked to realize his spirit sense was not working at all.

In fact, his spirit Qi itself was no longer in his control. His body was still functional, but it looked like he had lost control of his cultivation base. Thankfully, the process only lasted a few minutes and after that he regained control.

In addition to the control of his body and spirit Qi, the Twin Lights Liger King felt a few more changes in his body.

"Huh? What did you do to me?" The Twin Lights Liger King questioned.

"Well, like I said… becoming my subordinate comes with benefits. This is the first of them. Your bloodline should be strengthened on my own now. You should be able to sense it." Lin Wu answered.

The Twin Lights Liger King was stunned, as he knew that his bloodline was already strong compared to most beasts in this world. But he also knew that Lin Wu's bloodline was something very unusual.

It was literally out of the world as they knew both the olive viper King and Lin Wu had befitted from the meteor that fell. 

The Twin Lights Liger King cheek his body and saw that deep within his bloodline a tinge of green color had been added. His Nascent soul had changed slightly and fine green patterns had appeared on it.

In the real world, his body had some changes as well. If one looked into his eyes, one would find that there was now a green ring around his pupils in addition to the pentagonal gem that was embedded in his forehead. 

The gem was emerald green in color and was rather small, being the size of a 1 cent coin. It let out a faint glow that accompanied the glow of the Twin Lights Liger King's eyes as well.

"I… I feel strange… powerful even…" The Twin Lights Liger King muttered to himself as his newly changed bloodline slowly changed his body.
