Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

Upon hearing this, Windwind's tense nerves relaxed a little.

It turns out he was just a lackey who abused his position as a high-ranking official, although...

The fact that a lackey could ride on the head of a dragon-level being still baffled him.

Being bossed around by a demon-level monster weaker than himself made this former top human assassin feel quite annoyed.

But circumstances were beyond their control; the giant black dog behind them, which was already yawning and wagging its tail, was a genuine peak-level dragon.

He didn't want to provoke such a terrifying being that inspired despair just by looking at it, all for the sake of pointless conflict.

"understood."

Suppressing his displeasure, Windward nodded and decisively prepared to turn and leave.

It's better to avoid trouble. There are training grounds anywhere; there's no need to provoke a mad dog here.

Just as Windwind Wind turned to leave, Hansen's voice rang out again.

Windy paused, his guard rising again.

She slowly turned around, her dark green eyes fixed on Han Sen, her hands unconsciously moving towards the twin swords behind her waist.

I've already cooperated so much, what else does this guy want to do?

Unexpectedly, Han Sen's tone softened, and he did not show any hostility: "Judging from your appearance, you must be a newcomer to the association?"

"……what?"

Before Windwind could answer, Hansen raised his spiked claws and pulled out a piece of dark red flesh that was still throbbing slightly from a gap in his armor.

“Lord Pochi will probably come here often in the future.” Han Sen handed the “monster cell” to Gale Wind, his tone carrying a hint of seniority. “Consider this a small gift to you.”

"You'd better be more careful when you're here in the future, lest you accidentally offend Lord Pochi next time, which would be troublesome."

Windwind looked at the "weird cell" in front of him and was slightly taken aback.

After becoming an eccentric, he is preparing to build his own power.

The plan is to use "monster cells" to cultivate a monster-transformed ninja army, so there is a need for this.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly fierce insect-like creature would actually give him one.

Although the other party's tone still carried a condescending tone, this action seemed to be following some kind of eccentric rule.

Maybe... this guy isn't as unreasonable as he seems?

Windwind's impression of Han Sen changed slightly, but little did he know that if we were to talk about how new a person was, Han Sen, who had just transmigrated, was definitely an even more naive newbie than him.

However, Windwind didn't think much of it and quickly reached out to take the "monster cell".

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Windy Wind nodded slightly to Hansen. "I will leave now and will not disturb Lord Pochi."

After saying this, he didn't stop.

With a blur, it transformed into a green afterimage, disappearing into the dark depths of the passage in a few flashes, its speed astonishing.

Han Sen watched Gale Wind leave, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips on his black mask.

Just now, the instant my fingertips touched Windwind's palm—

[Ding! Target for replication detected!]

[Successfully copied SSR ability: "Swift Wind" Lv1!]

[Successfully copied SR ability: "Monster Transformation" Lv1!]

[Currently occupied capacity bits: 6/15.]

An invisible vortex suddenly rose up beneath my feet, blowing the dust on the stone bridge several meters away.

Han Sen felt his previously heavy body suddenly become much lighter, and his perception of the surrounding air current fluctuations was rapidly enhanced!

At the same time, the hard armor that was originally as lifeless as a dead object also showed a vitality that it had never had before. It seemed that as long as it was under its will, it could change its shape, and even decompose and shrink back into its body!

Seeing the two new ability icons, one gold and one purple, added to the system panel, Han Sen knew that this was a brand new change brought about by successfully copying the new ability.

And all of this came at the cost of just one "freak cell".

Thinking of this, Han Sen felt even more relaxed.

"Your abilities are not bad, but they'll be mine in the next second!"

The joy of getting something for free is that simple and unpretentious.

"Ouch~~"

A long howl brought Han Sen's attention back.

Turning around, I saw Pochi, who had been waiting impatiently, leap excitedly. His massive body arced through the air as he jumped straight off the stone bridge and plunged into the bottomless abyss!

Plop——!!!

After a long while, a dull thud finally came from the darkness.

Han Sen's gaze sharpened. Even the transmission of sound took several seconds, so it was conceivable that the stone bridge was at least a thousand meters away from the underground river.

If he were still yesterday's cannon fodder, he would never attempt such a suicidal high-altitude dive, but now—

Suddenly, a swift black shadow darted off the bridge in a gust of wind, hurtling down with a powerful whistling sound!

The frigid underground river surged with towering waves, as if a depth charge had been detonated.

Even Boqi, who was happily splashing in the water, couldn't help but look up warily. When he saw that it was Han Sen, who was wrapped in rapid wind pressure and pushed aside the rushing river water to float to the surface, he let out two dissatisfied howls.

"Ouch! Ouch~~" (It's you! You scared me!)

Having experienced the joy of controlling the wind, Han Sen did not forget the main purpose of his trip.

Using the airflow to lift his heavy body, he leaped across the water towards the black behemoth.

"Awaited……"

Chapter 15 The Power of Wind

"I've kept you waiting, Lord Pochi, I'm here!"

Upon arriving at Poch's side, Hansen quickly got into character.

Due to the difference in size and strength, his claws, which were more than enough to easily pierce through a demon-level monster, were perfectly suited for grooming Pochi's tangled, coarse hair.

These bristles are so strong that even ordinary dragons would have difficulty penetrating their defenses, and their strength and toughness are unimaginable. Cleaning away the rubble and dirt inside is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Hansen inherited Boqi's abnormal abilities. Putting aside everything else, his physical strength and endurance are absolutely top-notch!

He started groping and massaging Pochi, and gradually Pochi's six eyes narrowed.

He occasionally let out a few comfortable gurgling sounds from his throat, looking very content.

"Awoo... gurgle..."

A moment later, Han Sen exhaled a puff of white steam, indicating that Boqi had finished cleaning up.

Pochi stood up and shook his massive body.

Water droplets from their bodies flew everywhere like arrows, creating shallow craters of varying sizes on the distant stone walls.

Looking at the big black dog now, its previously messy and dull black fur has become jet black and shiny, with each hair clearly visible.

His appearance improved significantly, and he looked exceptionally energetic.

After taking a bath, Pochi was in a great mood. It lowered its huge head again, and its six burning eyes looked at Hansen.

It signaled for him to jump onto its head again, preparing to return to the nest.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Seeing this, Han Sen skillfully leaped and landed lightly on Boqi's broad head.

The fur that was still wet a moment ago was instantly dried by Boqi's terrifying body temperature, and the warm and dry touch gave Hansen a full-on riding experience!

"Aww! Aww—!" (I'm leaving! I'll come again next time—!)

Pochi let out a low growl and took a step forward.

A black lightning bolt leaped across the rock face and onto the stone bridge, quickly disappearing into the deep passageway.

Returning to his territory alone, Hansen was still savoring the sense of closeness and dependence he had felt from the giant beast beneath him while riding Bochi.

The feeling was peculiar, like playing a raising game, except the object of your raising is a dragon-level ferocious beast that can easily destroy a city.

If there were such a thing as a favorability system, Han Sen had no doubt that he had at least raised the number of hearts above Boqi's head to a passing grade.

Having unexpectedly latched onto the coattails of a high-ranking official, things seemed to be looking very promising.

However, this world is full of dangers, and even though Han Sen's strength is improving by leaps and bounds, the sense of crisis in his heart still exists.

Within the Monster Association alone, there are at least five beings capable of instantly defeating me!

Not enough!

Contemplating how to continue becoming stronger, Han Sen returned to the underground space where his territory was located.

As he approached, a series of chaotic and noisy roars, crashes, and screams could be heard from afar.

When Han Sen appeared at the entrance of the passage, he saw a scene he had expected—a typical everyday sight.

Several wolf-level monsters were tearing each other apart in a frenzy over the monster's remains on the ground, with severed limbs and internal organs flying everywhere.

Stimulated by the bloodshed, the battle intensified, and many restless monsters couldn't resist joining in.

The scene was once very chaotic.

Several tiger-level monsters watched coldly, occasionally intervening to "mediate," but in reality, they would drag away the weaker party who had fought to the death, disembowel them on the spot, and enjoy a "fresh" meal.

This is the underlying ecosystem of the Monster Association: chaotic, barbaric, and utterly disorderly.

Hansen ignored this. It was the same when the slime octopus was in power, and now that he is the ruler, the essence will not change much.

After all, this chaotic situation was the result of Psykos, the mastermind behind the Monster Association.

Few people know that she is conducting large-scale experiments on her self-created "near-death evolution theory" within the Monster Association.

That's right, it's the Saiyan power-up from the fighting race in the Dragon Ball movie next door!

The threat of death is used to encourage lower-level monsters to evolve into higher-level ones, thereby creating powerful monsters that can be used effectively.

But more often than not...

Not every weirdo is a Super Saiyan King; on the contrary, only a very small number of individuals possess such a qualification.

When someone dies, they are truly dead.

Dragon-level monsters are hard to find, but wolf-level monsters are plentiful.

Even if it only brings one or two Demon-level or Dragon-level monsters in return, it's still a huge win.

The chaos in the underground space only abruptly ceased when Han Sen's menacing figure, standing over three meters tall, appeared.

All the strange beings, whether they were fighting or eating, instinctively stopped what they were doing, and their eyes, filled with awe and fear, were all turned to this newly crowned demon-level ruler.

Only a few Tiger-level monsters noticed Han Sen's change.

They could clearly sense that the aura emanating from this new leader seemed even more unfathomable!

Han Sen ignored the group, even dismissing the fangs that came to greet him with licks on their faces, and headed straight for his private lair.

This trip yielded some unexpected and impressive results, and he needs some time to study the new abilities he has just acquired.

Back in the lair, Han Sen opened the system panel and took a look.

SSR "Swift Wind".

SR "Monsterization".

"Then let's test the SSR first."

With a thought, the Lv1 "Swift Wind" was activated.

With a thought, an invisible gust of wind suddenly spread out from Han Sen as the center.

A gust of wind surged within the lair, and the heavy body covered in black spiked armor suddenly became several times lighter!

Every joint and every muscle is filled with unprecedented agility and flexibility, becoming exceptionally sensitive to the flow of surrounding air.

The next moment, leaving only a blurry afterimage in place, the real body appeared at the other end of the nest as if by teleportation!
