Evolution, Wind Style Affinity

Bai Xuan returned home holding the wooding box in his hand, looked at the well behaved Hayate, and opened the attribute page.

[Summoning Beast: Hayate]

[Race: Ninja Dog]

[Talent: Speed, Sense of Smell]

[Shared Talent: Intelligence]

[Evolvable]

[Evolution Requirement: Wind Bell Flower (100 plants)]

[Evolve Now?]

The two words at the bottom of the screen made Bai Xuan smile faintly.

"Evolve."

After Bai Xuan made his choice, he saw a chaotic gray light emerge from the void and envelop the wooden box containing the wind bell flower.

Then, Bai Xuan only felt that the wooden box became lighter, and a ball of green light emerged from the box and flew directly at Hayate.

The green light flashed by, and in an instant it went from above Hayate's head into Hayate's body.

"Woof!"

Hayate barked and raised his head, opened his mouth and made a gesture of howling at the moon.

Strands of air suddenly overflowed from his mouth, turning into streams of wind, which wrapped around Hayate's body.

Hundreds of wind streams flowed endlessly around Hayate's limbs, tail, head, and neck, blowing his fur and making it stand up, giving him a regal appearance.

As the wind continued to entangle him, Hayate's body slowly expanded. Muscles burst with energy, bones thundered. 

The crackling sound of thunder and the whistling wind continued for less than a minute, and when it was over, Hayate's form had changed drastically.

Originally, Hayate was just the size of a young large dog on Earth, standing at fifty centimeters. But now, he is the size of an adult giant dog on Earth with a natural standing height of nearly one meter. 

At this height, he in almost as tall as the four year old Bai Xuan.

So, for Bai Xuan now, Hayate's appearance can be regarded as a pony and Hayate can now be used as a mount.

Of course, Hayate's changes are not just his size, but also his appearance. His fur is still pure white, but his body is much more sturdy and he appears to be more energetic.

His big, round eyes are bright and there is a faint green light in them, which appears very magical.

Riding Hayate as a mount must be very cool.

As he had this thought, a cold mechanical voice sounded in Bai Xuan's mind.

[Ding!]

[Evolution complete]

[Opening the Summoning Beast Attribute Page]

[Opening...]

[Summoning Beast: Hayate]

[Race: Wind Speed Dog]

[Talent: Wind Speed, Wind Style Affinity, Wind Sense]

[Shared Talent: Intelligence]

[Evolvable]

[Evolution Requirement: Wind Chakra Metal (100 grams)]

Just after the attribute page popped up, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding!]

[Strength and talent shared]

As soon as the sound fell, a warm energy poured quickly into Bai Xuan's body.

His physical fitness, mental strength, chakra quantity, and chakra quality all increased.

At the same time, the nature of his chakra and talents changed.

The two talents of wind speed and wind sense are the enhanced, wind attribute versions of the original speed and sense of smell talents.

In addition to those changes, the talent of wind style affinity is the talent that Hayate has gained after evolving from a ninja dog into a wind speed dog.

This talent can make life forms naturally suitable for wind style.

Bai Xuan, who had just opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand and stared at the air above his palm. Bai Xuan made a grabbing motion slowly.

"Huuu~~"

The breeze blew and a stream of wind blew directly between Bai Xuan's fingers before returning to nothingness.

"Maybe after practicing I can use the talent of Wind Style affinity to perform Wind Style without seals."

"So, is this talent a kind of Kekkei Genkai?"

"Then, when Hayate evolves again and awakens a stronger talent, what kind of talent would I get then? I'm really looking forward to it..."

Mumbling to himself, Bai Xuan looked at Hayate, who was full of excitement and wagging his tail as if trying to please him, and his eyes seemed a little deeper. 

Bai Xuan who shared strength and talent with Hayate, naturally knew how powerful Hayate was now.

Hayate was now equivalent to a speed-type Chunin who had decent physical skills.

And naturally, Bai Xuan was the same.

[Evolution Requirement: Wind Chakra Metal (100 Grams)]

Looking at the column at the bottom of the attribute page, Bai Xuan couldn't help but think about it.

Wind chakra metal is a precious metal unique to this world.

As for how precious?

Just listen to the other name of Wind chakra metal and you will know - Wind Style Chakra Conductive Metal.

Even the second generation rich guy like Sarutobi Asuma, who used chakra metal to make weapons, only made a pair of knuckle-style chakra knives.

From this point, it can be seen clearly that this metal is very precious, and very expensive.

100 grams of wind chakra metal will cost about 5 million Ryo. {T/N: 100 Ryo is appx. 1 USD}

This money is actually not a problem for Bai Xuan.

After all, Bai Xuan did not do nothing in Konoha.

Bai Xuan's father had a close friend named Tengang.

Tengang is the owner of a ninja tool shop in Konoha and is an excellent blacksmith as well.

The Flying Thunder God kunai, a staple of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato , was made by Tengang.

And Tengang also has a daughter named Tenten.

Bai Xuan once memorized the "Traveler's Handbook" because he was bored in his previous life, and he mastered a lot of knowledge and technology.

Bai Xuan, who recognized the importance of money a long time ago, so after several tests to confirm Tengang's character, Bai Xuan sold an optimized steel pouring and iron smelting method to Tengang.

In this method, wrought iron is used as the raw iron, placed in the furnace, and the pig iron plate is placed at the furnace mouth.

When the furnace temperature rises to1300℃ and the pig iron plate begins to melt, the pig iron plate is clamped with tongs and moved left and right, and the raw iron is constantly turned over so that the raw iron is evenly drenched with pig iron liquid.

After obtaining this method, Tengang's ninja tool shop became the largest ninja tool shop in Konoha within half a year.

With that, Tengang and Bai Xuan made a lot of money. So naturally, there is no problem using this money to buy 100 grams of wind chakra metal. 

However, wind chakra metal is not only precious, but it is also very rare. Even if you can afford it, it will not necessarily be for sale.

But regardless, Bai Xuan has to ask.

"I'll go and see if Tengang has any stock of wind chakra metal. And I also haven't seen Tenten for a long time, it'll be good to see her today.
