Gul only needed the breeding ability of the baru demon beast, while Wen Yu didn't mind having the baru demon beast enhance his capabilities.
However, the baru demon beast not only provided Wen Yu with an enhancement; it even brought him an unimaginable surprise!
Psycho-energy Armor (Race Foundation Level, Passive Skill): The host's outer skin is reinforced by mysterious energy, capable of resisting eighty percent of physical and energy attacks, while absorbing energy to replenish the host's consumption.
This passive defensive skill overlaps slightly with the skill system of the stars, but such overlap can be stacked.
For instance, if the Ancient Dragon's Fury provides Wen Yu with a ninety percent damage reduction, acquiring the Psycho-energy Armor would further reduce damage by eighty percent on the remaining ten percent.
Although stacking these two skills might seem wasteful in terms of effect, it's still better than nothing.
However, this clearly isn't the surprise.
The true surprise lies in the seventh skill of the baru demon beast.
Homogenization Transformation (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill) (Derived Skill of Split Breeding): As a maternal body, the host can split and breed an endless number of individuals, and through homogenization transformation, these split individuals can be transformed into a second individual identical to the host.
Note 1: Homogenization transformation has no cooldown time and no usage limitations, but the energy required to mature a single individual depends on the host's strength; the stronger the host, the more energy needed.
Note 2: The individuals created through homogenization transformation do not possess independent consciousness or independent thought; they can only perform simple instinctive actions (like eating and breeding) under the host’s control.
The somewhat complex skill description clearly expresses the true function of this skill.
It merely allows the baru demon beast to establish a second base, enhancing its "military production capacity."
But for Wen Yu, the value of this skill goes far beyond that!
Because regarding this ability, Wen Yu has his own speculation.
Ibira's phase fusion is a trump card skill within Wen Yu's skill system—it's not something to be easily activated, but once initiated, the boost from phase fusion is enough for Wen Yu to turn the tide in certain battles. Unfortunately, until Wen Yu acquires other clone-like abilities, the increase from phase fusion is fixed.
With eight clones, if the Faceless clone can also merge with Wen Yu, that would be sixteen.
But if Wen Yu's assumptions are correct, homogenization transformation will bring about a groundbreaking qualitative change in phase fusion!
As long as energy is absorbed, he can split out an individual one level lower than himself, and utilizing homogenization transformation, he can transform this individual into one that is completely identical to himself—although this individual lacks independent consciousness and cannot be as flexible and changeable as existing clones, who says this "dead meat" can't be Wen Yu's own clone?
Simply devouring and then enhancing is sufficient to double the boost for Wen Yu—this is enough for him.
More importantly, there is no limit to the number of individuals transformed through homogenization transformation!
Upon seeing this skill, Wen Yu immediately imagined a scene—inside a large warehouse, one "Wen Yu" after another hung like meat pigs from the ceiling. When Wen Yu needed it, he could activate this backup plan, devouring one after another, directly enhancing his power to an unprecedented peak!
A rough estimate shows that this ability, once combined with Wen Yu's inherent skill system, could bring about changes that are not inferior to Tang Haofei's life and death battle resolution!
This will be a trump card based on phase fusion!

"Uncle, Uncle?"
Little Gul's voice woke Wen Yu from his thoughts. He turned his head to look at the little Gul tugging at his clothes.
