Lin Wu was a bit surprised but had expected for the result to be something like this. He had been getting so many notifications that he had to make only the important ones come up and the minor updates were hidden until he asked for them in the log.

He looked at his spirit qi stores and saw that he already had enough to upgrade to the next stage of the core condensation realm. But he was not ready to do that yet. He had already seen the effect that happened when he rapidly upgraded his cultivation.

Lin Wu reckoned that this was the 'Stable foundation' that they talked about in cultivation. Even the system was rather unsure of this concept as according to it, everything was normal. Yet there were unknown things that would occur beyond his control.

He had also added a rather large amount to his system energy storage as it had a lot of tasks it needed to do and it was rather convenient when the system didn't have to ask him every few minutes. This way he could limit the system's usage of energy by soft-capping it by this method.

Lin Wu had also known how much spirit qi he would be requiring for the next upgrade seeing how each upgrade needed double the amount of the previous amount. He estimated that he would need 24,000 drops of liquid spirit qi to upgrade to the peak stage of the core condensation realm.

Another thing was the incomplete core which belonged to his second bloodline which was unknown. He was still a bit unsure about touching that thing yet and wanted to watch it for a bit. He had also assigned another task to the system, which was to analyze this incomplete core for any problems.

Only when he received the green signal that everything was safe would he touch it.

The second big thing that happened was the rather large number of raw bloodline data he had collected. Lin Wu realized that if he didn't consume the entire beast, it took longer to obtain the raw bloodline data for that beast.

In fact, for one of the beasts he had to drain about a hundred and twelve of them to gain the raw bloodline data. Still, he wasn't as interested in these bloodlines as they were of common beasts and weak spirit beasts.

His own bloodlines were of a much higher level than those and assimilating them was out of the equation. Besides most of them were not even compatible with him and could not be refined further. So for now they were pretty much only there for show.

Since they took up a rather large space on the Host data window, Lin Wu simply condensed the section.

"System, from now on only the bloodlines that are either close to mine in quality or a above mine should be shown." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

"Ah, that's much cleaner. I can check them later if needed, anyway." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Lin Wu took one last look at Shirong and ensured that he was occupied with himself before sneaking from the side. He immediately dug into the ground and started moving a bit away from the area Shirong was in. Lin Wu was now excited about something new.

"I finally get to return to my full form!" Lin Wu said in excitement.

He came out of the ground about two kilometers away before transforming. There were a few beasts around him that noticed him and came close to him to attack him. It was night time, and this was when most of the beasts were active.

The beasts were peak stage qi refining realm Shadow Claw beasts. They looked like a mix between a dog and a lizard and had long black claws. Their dark fur allowed them to blend into the shadows while their scaly tail slithered.

Lin Wu knew that they were gathering around him but it didn't matter to him. His defenses were far too strong for them to get through it anyway. Another thing was his status as a core condensation realm beast. If his aura was fully released there was no chance a qi refining realm beast would come close to him.

Right now the system was still restraining his spirit qi fluctuations but now that he was free, he could do whatever he waited.

"KRREEEEEEEE!!!!!"

An ear piercing screech came out of Lin Wu's mouth as he started to grow in size rapidly. This was the first time he had actually let out a noise like this and he didn't even know his natural voice would be like this.

'Damn! It really is scary as hell! I sound like some alien from a movie.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

The Shadow claw beasts that were running toward Lin Wu froze in their tracks, unable to move a single muscle. Some of them directly collapsed to the ground due to the fear while the ones that were the closest started trembling.

The full force of Lin Wu's aura was released as the nearby trees started to shake due to the wind stirring up. Lin Wu was now in his full size being over ten meters long and about thirty centimeters thick. His size had actually grown a bit more and he was unaware of this as he had been in the spear form all along.

~Welp~

The shadow claw beasts cried in fear as they tried to retreat. But then an emerald green tail blocked their path.

"Where do you think you are going?" Lin Wu said, but all that came out of his mouth was another beastly screech.

Then in the next instant, he lashed out whipping the shadow claw beasts that were nearby.

~Shua~

He slithered ahead and killed the rest of the shadow claw beasts that were ahead as well. Within five seconds nine shadow claw beasts were dead and no cries were heard anymore.

"Well then… dinner time~"
