Chapter 198: A Subordinate?

Lin Wu knew that there was no way he would be able to put a servant imprint on a human. The technique that he had was only made for beasts and even the system couldn't modify it enough to make it work on humans without more data.

If he wanted to do the same with the humans, he would need to find a slave binding technique and he was pretty sure they were forbidden. Of course, they could still be found in the market and even in the sects, but the question was that of access.

He couldn't just waltz straight into the places while being in his form of worm and neither could he order Shirong to do it directly. Thus he either had to wait on his luck to bring that to him or he could go about this in a different way.

Lin Wu had seen the method by which the Formations array of the tomb had passed the inheritance to him and he was thinking of using that as a back door to put an imprint on Wang Xiong.

He knew that there were little modifications he would be able to do to it, but he only wanted to put some minimum contingencies on it. For the rest, Lin Wu was gonna control Wang Xiong through good old manipulation.

That was the reason why he had made up the entire plot and the persona that he had. 

Lin Wu looked at the notification window, as more and more of them started appearing.

~Ding~

——

——

A smile appeared on Lin Wu in his mind as he looked at the notification.

'It worked, though how well it functions is still unknown. Still, the inheritance he got seems a bit strange. The cultivation technique seems like the inferior version of the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture, but the Qi skill is completely different.' Lin Wu thought.

The system had recorded the skill when it was transferred to Wang Xiong and thus Lin Wu could take a look through it.

"Huh? This is actually a good skill! Why was it not in the complete inheritance I got? No wait… I haven't unlocked it completely, so perhaps the better version of this technique is there." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"System, can you check and tell me if there is any data in the encrypted part that matches the technique? Even if the encrypted data can't be seen, it should be possible to cross reference it right?" Lin Wu said, hoping for a positive response.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: There is data that is 70% similar to the Qi skill: Unity Returning Fist in the encrypted data.

——

"Bingo! Just as I thought. Looks like I'll be using the inferior version till then… though how would I?" Lin Wu said after a bit of realization.

The technique required one to have hands and also meridians that worked along with it. Lin Wu could perhaps make something similar to that of a hand from his body, but there was no way he would be able to created meridians. This was something that was beyond his Cellular Manipulation skill.

"Looks like I'll have to wait for the system to adapt this technique to my physique." Lin Wu thought to himself.

'Though, there should be more techniques in the other level of inheritance should there? Perhaps I should find someone to give the intermediate level of inheritance or just give it to Wang Xiong.

Though I did plan to make him work for it. So it doesn't seem right to give it to him right now.' Lin Wu thought.

He looked at the man who was still beelining there and had his eyes closed. The Trojan was what the system had used to inject the back door into the core of Wang Xiong. The inheritance formation was much more powerful and could do much more than the system for now.

Thus taking advantage of it was rather good for him right now.

The transfer of the inheritance finished and Wang Xiong finally opened his eyes, prompting Lin Wu to pull back his tail, leaving behind a faint green glint that was the size of a pin head. He checked again to make sure that everything was fine before nodding his head.

ADDED NEW SECTION: Subordinates

SUBORDINATES: 1. Wang Xiong

Functions available: Communication 

——

Lin Wu wasn't able to put a detonation function to the imprint and thus changed it to a subordinate imprint instead. This would allow them communication as well. 

Lin Wu had placed an inferior version of the Rhombus gem in the head of Wang Xiong too, but this one was much smaller than the previous ones. Because it was made with the assistance of the Inheritance Formation.

"Thank you senior," Wang Xiong replied.

"Good, now you need to cultivate well and get stronger. If you reach a certain level, you will become eligible to receive the rest of the inheritance." Lin Wu said.

"The rest of the inheritance?!" Wang Xiong shouted in surprise.

"Yes, there is more. Right now you are not strong enough for it, thus this is all you can get." Lin Wu answered.

"But just this technique I received is already many times better than my sects cultivation technique." Wang Xiong spoke.

"Your cultivator sect? You're from a sect?" Lin Wu asked, showing ignorance.

"Yes senior, I am from one of the high tier sects of the Long continent, The Frozen Cloud sect." Wang Xiong explained.

"Ah, is that so. I see, seems like I need to gain more information about this world. There were not many sects in the past, and this… Long continent didn't exist either." Lin Wu replied.

"Senior, if you need information I can help you. There is plenty of it in my sect and my companion's may be able to help too." Wang Xiong said.

'Bingo!' Lin Wu said in his mind.
