Chapter 500: Understanding The Gains
Each of Lin Wu’s innate skills had been upgraded by one rank. This was something he had seen happen before and had thus expected it. Not only that, but Lin Wu also realized that he had obtained two more Innate skills that he found to be familiar.
“Aren’t these the innate skills of the Olive viper king?” Lin Wu questioned.
While he had not seen the exact name of the skills before, he could very well tell that they matched the ones that Olive Viper King used.
“Oh yeah, I have the two longer fangs now as well… guess I’m part snake now too. Hmm… with the number of bloodlines I may be combining I don’t even know if I would be a worm by the end.” Lin Wu muttered to himself in wonder.
He looked at the two new innate skills and reckoned that he may as well check its detailed description.
“System, show me the details about these two skills.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
INNATE SKILLS:
1. Poison Breath (lesser) (Proficiency: Basic):
The host now has the ability to produce poison in his body which can then be breathed out in the form of a vapor cloud. The poison’s strength depends on the host’s skill rank and can be increased.
Depending on the other elements that the host can control the type of poison produced can be modified as well.
The current types of poison that are available are:- 1. Basic corroding poison
2. Tearing Wind Poison
3. Erupting Radiation Poison
4. Numbing Poison
2. Venom Fang (great) (Proficiency: Basic):
The has the ability to use the two frontal fangs to bite and inject venom into the prey. This venom is stronger than the one from the poison breath and only works when injected directly into the body.
The venom is volatile and will degrade when left out in air. The venom has strong restrictive abilities and can eventually paralyze the entire body of the foe, shutting down its organs as well, leading to its death.

Having read the description of the new innate skills, Lin Wu found them to be very useful. He had already seen the Olive Viper King using these two skills and knew just how efficient they could be when used in large scale battles.
“Poison breath for multiple enemies and Venom Fang for a single one… these will serve me very well, not to mention they come in sub types too.” Lin Wu said feeling quite pleased.
And while he was looking at the innate skills he saw that Kin Command had gone up by a rank too.
“Huh? How did this one increase? I don’t even use that skill.” Lin Wu wondered.
While Lin Wu did have many subordinates, they were smart enough to directly understand his commands and he didn’t necessarily need to depend on Kin command to control them.
The skill was useful when there was a large number of weaker beasts that had inferior intelligence and were relatively dumb. He had not used the skill that much since he got it, plus since it was a passive gift it was not like he could forcefully increase it either.
Thus the increase in the skill’s rank was unexpected.
“System, how did Kin Command increase?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Olive Viper King also had the same innate skill and was of a higher rank than the host. The system assimilated the new information and upgraded the skill accordingly.
——
“Ah… no wonder. The Olive Viper King did have a lot of subordinates that he controlled. Considering his personality, I reckon he preferred being forceful. No wonder the skill was higher for him.” Lin Wu muttered.
Kin command was an innate skill that could be acquired by a lot of beasts as long as they had a lot of other beasts under their command. It was one of the most common innate skill, and was one of the few that fell in the category of both Innate and acquired skills.
The reason it was still considered to be Innate was because it could actually be passed onto offspring. Otherwise, it would just be a normally acquired skill. All of the beast kings in the Millennium forest had this skill from what Lin Wu could tell.
‘They control tens of thousands of beasts each, this skill would be essential to them. Guess I’ll see an increase in it as well.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
Other than these parts, Lin Wu didn’t see any other significant changes in the host data. His System energy though was close to running out.
“Oh? Has the system been running on the reserve I stored all this time? Well, time to transfer some to it.” Lin Wu said.
~DING~
——
ENERGY TRANSFER: Please Specify the amount
——
Lin Wu thought for a bit before deciding, “let’s make it a nice even number in the other storages.”
“System, transfer 1,767, 741 units of Liquid spirit Qi into the system energy storage.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
ENERGY TRANSFER: Initiating
CONVERTING: 1,767, 741 units (Liquid spirit Qi) -> 17,677,410 units (system energy)
SYSTEM ENERGY STORAGE: 1,279 units -> 17,678,689 units
——
“There we, that should last for a while. The overall consumption of system energy has risen too. It’s almost 60% more than it used to be. Guess the upgrade increased the overall energy needed for the system to operate in my entire body.” Lin Wu spoke to himself.
At the end of the Host data, he saw that his weight was now over four times as much as it used to be.
“GODDAMN! I’m Dummy thick!” Lin Wu said upon witnessing the increase.
He knew that the length and width of his body had doubled but had not expected such a massive increase in weight.
“Oh wait… if you double the volume of something it increases its weight by a cube doesn’t it… or something like that, my maths ain’t that good.” Lin Wu realized.
Having checked the entire Host data, he decided to see how the avatar was doing.
