Chapter 45: Storm Power, One Slap, a Row of Trees!

Synthesis!

As Su Hao's thoughts turned, a blood-red light wrapped the gray gas and white fur in his hand, beginning today's final synthesis.

Moments later, the blood-red synthesis light faded; the white fur had disappeared, and the originally gray gas turned white, now containing a slowly rotating cyan whirlwind.

Beast Power: Storm

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: If given to a beast, there is a chance it will gain sentience and become a yao; if given to a yao, it can fully increase physique and spiritual power, and also grant a wind-attribute skill.

……

Nice!

This means that eating this will definitely grant a skill?

Su Hao blinked slightly, a look of surprise crossing his face.

The two materials before synthesis were: one that increases physique and spiritual power, and another that boosts movement speed and has a certain chance to grant a wind-attribute skill.

But after synthesis, Su Hao was still unclear whether the increases to physique and spiritual power had improved.

However, the effect of gaining a wind-attribute skill changed from a certain probability to 100%.

In other words, as long as the Da Xiong Mao eats this, it will definitely gain a new skill, greatly boosting its combat power.

After understanding the effect of this, Su Hao shoved the door open, strode out, and entered Da Xiong Mao's room.

Is the Da Xiong Mao's sleeping pose really that weird?

Seeing the Da Xiong Mao lying flat on the bed with one foot stretched up to the wall above the headboard, its head hanging down at the foot of the bed, mouth slightly open, Su Hao's eye twitched involuntarily as he walked over and slapped its chubby belly.

Don't sleep; I have something good for you.

Huh?

Da Xiong Mao rubbed its eyes, blinked open its vision dazedly, and saw Su Hao appearing upside‑down in its sight, causing it to stare for a moment.

Why are my thighs upside down?

Oh oh, it turns out I'm the one who's upside down.

Da Xiong Mao smacked its lips twice, slid down from the foot of the bed, and plopped onto the floor.

Su Hao: ……

I feel like this Da Xiong Mao is getting more and more unrestrained……

Su Hao shook his head helplessly and passed the clump of white gas over.

Eat this!

Roar.

Da Xiong Mao took the clump of white gas without hesitation and shoved it straight into its mouth, showing how much it trusts Su Hao.

Beasts' thoughts are relatively simple, unlike humans with all their twists and turns; moreover, after coming to Su Hao's sanctuary, Da Xiong Mao's life has become much better.

There's a comfortable bed to sleep on, plenty of tasty food when hungry, and no need to go out foraging.

Eating too much purple gold bamboo also has Su Hao helping to remove toxins; when idle, he can play with Xiao Anni, making this life incredibly nourishing.

Now, in Da Xiong Mao's eyes, Su Hao is like a father!

How could it possibly doubt a father?

Whooo——!

Just as Da Xiong Mao swallowed the clump of white gas, a fierce wind sprang up around its body, ruffling its fur and enveloping it in the gale.

Within the wind's embrace, Da Xiong Mao's body began to slowly grow.

When Da Xiong Mao's height had increased by about ten centimeters, the wind's flow gradually slowed, gathering before its face to form a cyan rune that drilled into its forehead.

Finally, a flash of cyan light from Da Xiong Mao's forehead faded, and everything returned to calm.

Huh? Roar! Roar!!

Da Xiong Mao first let out a doubtful growl, then upon sensing its own change, it widened its eyes, the growl shifting from doubt to shock as it stared incredulously at Su Hao.

Thighs, what did you feed me? My strength suddenly surged, and I even gained a new skill!

This, this, this is my father!

Roar.

Da Xiong Mao let out an excited roar, lunged forward, knocked Su Hao to the ground, and eagerly licked his cheek.

Okay, okay, stop licking—pfft, hurry up and get up, your saliva's flowing into my mouth!

Roar.

Da Xiong Mao shook its head, gave Su Hao's face two more licks, then reluctantly got up, looking at Su Hao with a simple‑minded expression.

Come on, let's go see your new skill.

Su Hao casually grabbed Da Xiong Mao's arm, wiped the saliva from his face back onto it, and they walked out of the sanctuary together.

……

Right here, gurgle gurgle qi, use the newly acquired skill on that tree!

Roar.

Da Xiong Mao glanced at Su Hao and nodded happily.

Boo hoo hoo~ Thighs actually remembered my name; I'm literally crying, unlike that stupid human female who can't even remember a name.

Ling Xue'er:???

Afterward, Da Xiong Mao turned its gaze to the large tree Su Hao pointed at, needing no preparation; with a light flick of its right hand, three cyan wind blades shot out.

These three wind blades flew at extreme speed, reaching the tree's front almost the instant they left its claw.

At the same time, these wind blades were incredibly sharp, encountering no resistance as they lightly sliced, cutting the tree ahead into four sections.

But that wasn't the end; after cleaving the tree, the three wind blades showed no sign of stopping, continuing forward.

Only hearing the "puff puff puff" sound continuously ringing, all the big trees blocking in front of the wind blades were cleanly cut into four sections.

Finally, these three wind blades in succession cut down six big trees, and only then, due to exhausted energy, they vanished into the air.

"Hiss——!"

"This power is quite fierce!"

Watching the six big trees slowly fall, Su Hao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air; this power was far greater than the wind blade emitted by that Stitching Monster.

More importantly, the Da Xiong Mao had no preparatory movement at all; just a casual swipe instantly emitted these three wind blades, emitting these three powerful wind blades!

"Roar?!"

Compared to Su Hao, the Da Xiong Mao was obviously more shocked.

It glanced at its right paw, then at the slowly falling big trees, its mouth slowly opening wider, its expression becoming increasingly incredulous.

Such six big trees just fell like that? I just casually waved my hand and felled these six huge trees?

What the heck is this thigh I ate? Not only did it increase my strength so much, it also gave me long-range attack capability, and such a powerful skill.

No! This isn't a thigh, it's my own father!

The Da Xiong Mao again pounced Su Hao to the ground, licking his face all over.

"Stop licking, hurry up and get up……"

Just as Su Hao and the Da Xiong Mao were playing around, Ling Xue'er, while exploring the monastery's tomb, encountered a new situation.
