Chapter 219: How Do I Fly?

There were far too many changes in the host data and Lin Wu needed some time to go through them. He had expected the decrease in the spirit Qi storage and system energy but the two Nascent Souls were completely unexpected.

His skills had also increased in proficiency and grade, which was something he liked a lot. Radiation manipulation was much more powerful than he had originally thought of. He now understood its true potential, as its grade would rise in the future too.

'If the skill allows me to manipulate any type of radiation, then its potential is nearly endless.' Lin Wu thought.

But when he saw the spirit Qi required to upgrade to the next stage, he was dumbstruck.

"One and a half million units? Goddamn! And it will only increase more as I upgrade it. No wonder they say it is hard to reach Nascent Soul ream and progress after that. 

I can't even imagine who I would have done this had I not been with the system." Lin Wu said to himself.

Lin Wu finally got a sense of his cultivation and looked at his massive body. 

"Oh my… no way Shirong's gonna hold me now is he…" Lin Wu muttered to leftism.

"System what's my current weight and length?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The host weighs 211,694.20 Kilograms and is 102.62 meters long.

——

Lin Wu tried to recall his past memories and what he had studied and realized that a blue whale which was the biggest animal in his past world weighed about 200,000 Kilograms.

"Damn! I'm even bigger than a blue whale…" Lin Wu said with shock.

He looked at his appearance in the Host data and saw the minor changes in his body. His overall shape was the same as before, just that he had extra spikes on his back now and his segments were more in number. 

Since Lin Wu could just change the number of the segments, he didn't really count them. Now he wanted to see how much could he shrink, he doubted it would be the same as before.

~Rumble~

He triggered the skill cellular manipulation and started shrinking his body. It was quite difficult for him, similar to how it was when he did it the first time. All the new body mass was hard to move all at once, and thus he had to figure it out again.

About five minutes were needed for Lin Wu before he reached a point after which he could not shrink. 

"Welp… I'm still more than ten meters long. Seems like the avatar is gonna have to replace me as the spear from now. No wait… if it increases in cultivation too it will be heavier too wouldn't it? And what will happen if it reaches the Nascent Soul realm? Will it have another nascent soul or will it not?" Lin Wu wondered.

More and more questions arose his mind. He had originally thought that as he grew in cultivation, he would get more answered, but instead of that he only got questions.

It was similar to when he was a student. In the first couple of years in the University, he thought he knew a lot. But then by the time he reached the final year, he realized he knew jack shit.

He understood why his professors that had two doctorates and over thirty years of experience told him the more they study and research, the more they doubt themselves.

~Sigh~

"Seems like I'm gonna have to keep on doing the same as I have been till now… Wing it!"

But as he thought of winging it, another idea came to Lin Wu's mind.

"Speaking of wings… can I fly now? Nascent Soul realm cultivators can fly without spirit tools, right? Hmm… let's try." Lin Wu said to himself.

He willed himself to fly, but nothing happened. He then propped his tail like a coiled spring and pushed hard.

~DENG~

~THUD~

~Crack~

He reached a height of fifty meters in the sky from the jump before falling back to the ground and cracking it, creating a small crater.

"System, how am I supposed to fly?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: According to the system's analysis, Nascent Soul realm creatures use the ambient spirit Qi in the environment along with their own and make their bodies float.

——

"Hmm… use my body's spirit Qi and the environment's spirit Qi…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He first tried to sense the spirit Qi in the air and did it rather effortlessly. Then he tried to see if he could control it and was able to do that too, as he had done so before. But then the problem raised when he tried to control a large amount of it.

Whenever he went beyond a certain limit, his control over the spirit Qi was lost and he had to start over.

"Seems like this is the disadvantage of progressing fast. I don't have enough experience and control." Lin Wu realized.

This also reminded him of the time when he was refining spirit sense for the first time and had a hard time. 

It took Lin Wu a couple of hours before he was able to control a sufficient amount of spirit Qi in the air. The amount was enough to coat his entire body in it. 

"Okay, I got this part. But how do I create lift now?" Lin Wu muttered to himself before thinking of more ideas.

He tried some of the ideas from his past life that were used to fly, like jets, propellers, and more complex things like magnets.

"That's it! Maybe I can create a repressive effect by pushing and pulling using the spirit Qi in my body and the air." Lin Wu had an epiphany.

Lin Wu controlled the spirit Qi in his body and made it move towards the upper direction while the spirit Qi in the air repelled his body. As soon as he did that, his body shook for a second before gently lifting up a few inches above the ground.

"OH YEAH!!!"
