Under One Person: Rebuilding the Glory of the Beast Master

Chapter 61 Thunder Eagle

Time flies, and five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Sanyi Sect remains largely unchanged, except that Zuo Ruotong is often absent from the sect, and some of the elders and senior brothers also frequently leave the mountain in a hurry, sometimes for several months at a time.

Moreover, some of the senior brothers suffered very serious injuries.

Furthermore, discussing this matter is forbidden within the sect.

Although Zeng Su was not clear about these matters, he could guess the general idea.

The land has begun to stir, and what happened in the Northeast is probably about to happen.

There was nothing he could do about it; such a major event was beyond his power to change. However, he would do his best to salvage some things. Having come into this world and being active in this era, there were certain things that had to be done.

And he's finally not an 8-year-old anymore, he's nine.

On the eve of his birthday, he received a letter from his grandparents, which expressed their boundless love for him.

His grandparents originally wanted to send him some cured meat or something, but the journey was too far, and given the current social instability, they couldn't send it.

Besides his grandparents, his uncles Runzu and Runguo also wrote to him, and in particular, his uncle Runguo sent him a gift.

A handgun, a Browning M1903. It's still a new gun, with a case and instruction manual.

Run Guoji said in his letter that the current situation is unstable, and even if Zeng Su is an extraordinary person, he should not lack the self-defense measures he should have.

In the past, this pistol would have been extremely useful to him, but now it's just icing on the cake.

With his current strength and under defensive conditions, small-caliber firearms wouldn't cause much damage to him, and he certainly has plenty of other offensive methods at his disposal.

However, having a pistol would be more convenient. It's better to carry a gun when traveling the world than to keep saying that he is an extraordinary person. He has grown exceptionally fast in the past five months. Judging from his appearance alone, no one would know that he is only a 9-year-old child. He looks more like a handsome 13 or 14-year-old boy.

This is because he has been using thunder energy to stimulate his physical growth. This is Professor Zhang Zhiwei's method of using thunder and lightning to temper the body.

This isn't something just anyone can use. First, you have to know lightning magic, and then you have to cultivate lightning magic to an extremely profound level. Otherwise, using this method won't even help you temper your body; it will just cause you to explode.

Even Zhang Zhiwei wouldn't dare to use this method too often, but he didn't feel any pressure at all, because thunder qi was a part of his body, so he was practically born to use this method.

His cultivation of life force is growing rapidly. In terms of life force alone, he can firmly rank first in the entire Sanyi Sect.

There's another important thing to do today: evolve Fei Peng.

Mount Taimu, with its pools and stagnant waters.

Xuanhei lay on the bluestone slab by the pool, his beady green eyes half-open and half-closed, looking drowsy.

The runes on the tortoise shell gleamed faintly in the afternoon sunlight, with occasional streaks of five-colored light flowing through the patterns.

It was in a very good mood. There was a bowl next to it containing dried shrimp, which Zeng Su had bought for it some time ago.

Taking a nap, basking in the sun, and eating dried shrimp—life couldn't be better.

The most important reason is that the restrictions imposed on it by the Qi of the pool are getting smaller and smaller. For the past five months, Zeng Su has come every day to refine its bloodline, and the progress has reached 60%.

However, as the progress increases, the difficulty of condensing also increases. But if Xuanhei wants, it can temporarily leave the pool's energy field and go outside.

Xuanhei harbored a very deep longing for the outside world.

However, Zeng Su disagreed with it doing so. It was not advisable to risk its life just to get some fresh air, because no one knew how long it could stay away from the pool's energy field, and what would happen if it didn't return to the pool's energy field by the time it was time to leave?

Therefore, Zeng Su strictly forbade Xuanhei from going out. Once the Five Elements Bloodline was truly condensed and unified, it could go out whenever it wanted. There was no need to put itself in danger for the sake of momentary pleasure.

His master's orders had to be obeyed, so Xuanhei could only suppress his immense longing and await that day.

"Snoring! Snoring!"

It slept soundly by the pond day and night, having been working all this time.

All the weeds and shrubs around the pond were cleared away, and then soil was brought in from outside and piled up around it. Then, Xuanhei used the power of the Five Elements to integrate it, leveling a large area of ​​land around the pond, which was estimated to be no less than ten acres, and this was only the first phase of the project.

As mentioned earlier, this pool's energy is essentially a blessed land, though it certainly won't reach the level of wonder described in novels and biographies. However, anything planted here will receive excellent growth bonuses. Simply put, it's a super greenhouse. With Xuanhei's assistance using the power of the five elements, it's perfect for growing medicinal herbs.

Of course, this was just Zeng Su's initial idea. Anyway, Xuanhei and Baijiahei had nothing to do all day, so he could find something for them to do to enrich their lives. Even if they didn't get any harvest in the end, it wouldn't matter.

He bought the medicinal herb seeds from merchants at the Sandu'ao Wharf. They had all kinds of varieties, as long as they were rare; they didn't care about planting density or requirements. He just buried the seeds in the soil, watered them daily, and waited for them to germinate and grow.

After swallowing the last dried shrimp, Xuanhei stretched out its claws and groped around hoping to find another one, but naturally found nothing.

Xuanhei smacked its lips, stood up from the ground, stretched its four paws, and then began its work for the day: to use the power of the five elements to process all the soil.

"Snapped!"

A water balloon landed on Baijiahei's head, waking him up.

"You big idiot, get up and get to work!" Xuanhei said.

"Hmph!!"

Baijiahei was very angry, but there was nothing it could do; it couldn't beat Xuanhei.

The pig and the turtle continued their planting business.

At this moment, outside the aura of the pool, a figure streaked across the sky, leaving a blue trail.

"Fei Peng, stop at that clearing ahead," Zeng Su said, pointing to a clearing in the valley in the distance under Fei Peng's claws.

"Chirp!"

After a loud cry, Feipeng spread its wings and sped off in the direction its master pointed, its body surrounded by flashes of blue lightning.

In just a few breaths, they reached the airspace above the open ground. When they were about 10 zhang above the ground, Feipeng released its claws, and Zeng Su fell down.

When he was about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) above the ground, Zeng Su's body suddenly burst out with a powerful gust of air, slamming into the ground. The impact countered his body's momentum, and he landed steadily on the ground.

Don't be fooled by how simple this move seems; it took him a month to finally master it. It's only because of his strong physique that he was able to do it; otherwise, the force of the recoil would have broken his leg bones.

After circling in the air once, Fei Peng landed on the ground. Fei Peng was completely different from five months ago. All the hair on his body had grown back, and it was even more lustrous and beautiful than before.

It was truly shiny, as if a layer of wax had been applied to the feathers. This was all thanks to Master Duanmu's medicine. Now, Feipeng's favorite thing to do was to have someone apply the medicine to his feathers.

On the feathers of the flying sponge, one can vaguely see patterns like blue ink marks, which are a reflection of the lightning bloodline in its body.

The 100-hour thunderstorm flight has been completed, and all the conditions for Feipeng to evolve into Benlei Eagle have now been met.

Zeng Su took off his backpack and took out a box, which contained the lightning-struck feed that he had spent five months making.

The hardest material to find in making lightning-struck feed was lightning-struck wood powder, which he initially thought would be the easiest to find. He went to the merchants and spread the word, and soon many people claimed to have lightning-struck wood, but when they went to check, they were all fake.

Lightning-struck wood doesn't simply refer to trees that have been struck by lightning. Rather, it refers to wood that has undergone a qualitative change under the impact of lightning, thus acquiring the power of the lightning. Moreover, the tree must be alive.

That's why it was so hard to find. He and Fei Peng searched for three whole months in Mount Taimu and the surrounding mountains before they finally found a piece of tree root. Moreover, its vitality was very low. If they had come a few days later, it might have been useless.

But all the hard work was worth it.

The lightning-struck feed is about the size of an egg, entirely blue, and feels soft like a lump of rubber when squeezed. It doesn't look like something edible, but it's much better than the iron thorn feed that Baijiahei used to eat.

"Is Fei Peng ready?" he asked, looking at Fei Peng.

Fei Peng tilted its head. It didn't quite understand what its master meant by "evolution," but it knew that it would grant it unprecedented power.

Moreover, the blue ball in front of it made it instinctively want to get closer, touch, and devour it.

"Chirp~"

Feipeng nodded, spread its wings and flapped them a few times; it was already ready.

"Eat it," Zeng Su said.

Without hesitation, Fei Peng lowered his head, opened his hooked beak, and snatched the blue sphere, then tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The moment the sphere entered, a surge of powerful lightning-attribute energy erupted from it and flowed into Fei Peng's body through his esophagus.

Fei Peng's body stiffened abruptly, its feathers standing on end, and blue electric sparks erupted from the gaps in its feathers, forming a leaping electric grid on its body.

"Chirp!"

Feipeng let out a sharp cry, a sound that was no longer the usual short "chirp" but a long, metallic cry with a strong penetrating power.

The long cry echoed through the valley, startling the birds and beasts that roosted nearby, causing them to flee as if in a panic.

Some of them, in their daze, even bumped into Zeng Su.

A chubby squirrel regarded Zeng Su as a big tree, its four paws tightly hugging Zeng Su's thigh. Because of the Beast Sensing Technique, the squirrel felt very safe with Zeng Su.

Zeng Su ignored the giant squirrel, took a few steps back, and watched quietly.

Fei Peng's evolution began.

Its shoulders and back became broader, its chest muscles bulged high, and the feathers on its wings became denser, with blue patterns spreading across the entire wing surface.

The claws became thicker and sharper, each claw covered with a layer of blue electric light, like a steel knife being plated with electricity.

Fei Peng was originally a bald eagle, with pure white feathers on its head, nape, and tail, and dark brown feathers with a pale golden hue on its chest and abdomen. But now those white feathers have begun to change color, turning from white to silvery-white, and are also coated with a layer of azure luster.

In particular, his amber eyes turned into a deep blue, and you could even see a faint blue electric light flashing within them.

A deafening roar erupted in the valley, causing eardrums to ache and sending surrounding vegetation and rocks flying in all directions.

Zeng Su reached out and unleashed a surge of steel-attribute Qi, forming a metallic-looking shield around his body that blocked the wind pressure, trees, and rocks.

The big squirrel, however, stared curiously at its surroundings. For some reason, it didn't feel afraid; no matter what the situation was, Zeng Su's side was the safest place.

Fei Peng spread his wings, which were originally seven feet long but had now more than doubled in length, giving the impression of covering the sky.

feel.

And every feather was glowing, with blue electric sparks gushing from the wingtips, weaving into a giant electric net in the air.

The flying tumbleweed raises its head and cries out, its sound piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks.

Then it took flight.

Instead of slowly taking off with flapping wings as usual, it soared into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

The lightning left a long blue trail behind it, which lingered in the air for a long time.

Zeng Su looked up at the increasingly smaller blue figure in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It's done."

On the panel, Fei Peng's evolution rate has reached 99%, and it only needs one more point to complete the final evolution.

And from some unknown time, the originally clear sky turned gloomy, with large patches of dark clouds surging in from all directions and gathering into a huge black cloud.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the clouds, streaks of blue lightning weaving through the clouds, while Feipeng flew straight into the clouds, its silhouette appearing and disappearing in the flashes of lightning.

Each time lightning strikes, its body is illuminated by the electric light, and its silvery-blue feathers gleam in the darkness.

It no longer avoids lightning.

It is chasing lightning.

This is Benlei.

Fei Peng's evolution is also feeding back into him. As his tamed beasts become more numerous and stronger, he will also reach even greater heights.

After about half a cup of tea's time, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse.

Sunlight poured down through the gaps in the clouds, like golden beams of light piercing the ground.

A blue figure swooped down from the clouds, circling and spinning rapidly around the pillars of light, displaying its majestic flight.

Its speed was so fast that its trajectory was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, and streaks of blue light condensed and dissipated in the air.

Then a blue lightning bolt struck down from the sky, heading straight for Zeng Su's face.

But he didn't dodge.

The lightning stopped abruptly three feet in front of him, and the resulting gust of wind made his clothes flutter loudly.

Feipeng hovered in front of its master, its wings slightly spread, maintaining a delicate balance—something it had never been able to do before. From a mortal beast to a beast of extraordinary power, its life and strength had undergone a qualitative change.

Fei Peng is completely different now.

"Chirp chirp woo~~" (This feels so good, so good)

Feipeng landed on the ground, chirping excitedly like a hen that had just laid an egg, almost as if it were about to roll around on the ground like a dog.

Then it stretched out its wings and examined them carefully, its blue eyes filled with rapture; it was almost dizzy with its own handsomeness.

It never expected that it would become so handsome after evolving. It was already imagining how people would look at it when it returned to the Trinity Gate.

Especially that silly pig, now it's Grandpa Feipeng's turn to turn the tables.

It remains the same, unchanged.

"Fei Peng!" Zeng Su called out, stopping the other person from continuing his narcissistic behavior.

Upon hearing its master call its name, Feipeng immediately stood up straight, ready to go into battle for its master at any moment, wherever its master's sword pointed.

Strike instantly.

Zeng Su reached out and touched the feathers on Fei Peng's chest.

The texture has changed.

Previously, the feathers of the Flying Sparrow were soft and smooth, feeling like touching a piece of silk. But now, those silvery-blue feathers feel slightly rough, almost like a piece of fine sandpaper, and you can even feel a faint electric current flowing through your fingertips.

"Come with me." He withdrew his hand, turned around and walked to a large blue stone by the pool, sat down, and put the large squirrel that had been hugging him aside.

But the big squirrel didn't want to leave. It ran back and grabbed Zeng Su's clothes with its claws, its dark eyes looking at Fei Peng curiously. As long as Zeng Su was around, the big squirrel felt no fear at all and indulged its curiosity.

Even the big squirrel's paws were moving one by one, as if it wanted to touch Feipeng's feathers.

Feipeng folded its wings and snuggled close to its master, tilting its head to rest on its master's shoulder. With a slight flap of its wings, a streak of lightning shot out and struck the giant squirrel directly.

Then the big squirrel froze, rolled to the ground, and couldn't get up for a while.

Zeng Su brought up the system panel.

The light screen unfolded before his eyes, clearly displaying Fei Peng's data:

【Fei Peng】

【Species: Thunder Eagle】

[Current Evolution Stage: Beast (Intermediate)]

[Potential Rating: D—]

【ability:

Thunderwing: When the wings flap, lightning is released, causing area-of-effect electric shock damage to surrounding targets. The power of the lightning is proportional to the amount of Qi, and it can be released actively or automatically triggered during flight.

Thunder Eyes: The eyes can sense lightning energy, and vision remains unaffected during thunderstorms, allowing the tracking of targets marked by lightning. The mark lasts for one hour.

Thunder Flash: Short-distance instantaneous teleportation, consumes a large amount of Qi, can be used continuously in the air, and the maximum distance is proportional to the amount of Qi consumed.

Thunder Qi Affinity: Significantly enhances resistance to lightning, allowing the user to absorb external lightning energy to replenish their own Qi. During thunderstorms, Qi recovery speed increases by 500%.

Zeng Su stared at the lines of ability descriptions on the light screen; each ability was extremely powerful.

Thunderwing can be considered an attack skill.

Thunder Eye is the skill of observation and tracking.

Thunder Flash is a short-distance instantaneous movement. Although it consumes a lot of Qi, it is an instantaneous movement that completely ignores any obstacles.

This reminded him of the wind and thunder wings of Han Laomo, the protagonist of an anime, and the two were indeed quite similar.

Furthermore, the affinity with thunder qi increases the qi recovery rate by 500% during thunderstorms. What does this mean? It means that if fighting in a thunderstorm, Fei Peng would be practically a perpetual motion machine. Fei Peng's qi consumption rate might not even keep up with his recovery rate.

"This is the Thunder Eagle."

He reached out and patted Fei Peng's head as he spoke.

Fei Peng raised his head and looked at him with his blue eyes, letting out a low "gurgling" sound from his throat.

"Chirp." (Thank you.)

it says.

Zeng Su paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Hey kid, you're welcome," he said.

He then opened the evolution path, but there were only two evolution paths for the Thunder Eagle.

"It must be because of Fei Peng's bloodline," he thought.

Because the Thunder Eagle has the lowest potential in the evolutionary path of the Flying Sparrow, it is only at level D-.

Of course, both evolutionary paths are not bad either, but there are fewer choices.
