[Hurricane Star: Wind-Splitting Falcon.]

[Species Introduction: The sky overlords dwelling at the apex of Hurricane Star’s endless wind belts, they take pleasure in chasing storms.

Their bones are filled with storm elements and are incredibly tough, while their steel feathers contain powerful wind-type energy.]Full novel: The Boys: Reincarnated as The Deep, Starting with Starlight — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

[Core Ability: High-Speed Raid.

Capable of bursting into terrifying speeds several times the speed of sound in a short time, they excel at high-altitude dives and rapid stops and turns, with mobility unrivaled by their peers.]

[Armed Form: Wind-Splitting Wings (Back Armament).

Upon fusion, it can generate a pair of streamlined light wings made of energy on the back, providing super-high-speed flight capability and excellent aerial mobility.]

[Tactical Advice: Suitable for rapid relocation, long-distance raids, aerial pursuit, and evasion.]

“This one is cool.”

Su Kai’s eyes lit up.

Not only could it fly, but it was also fast enough to perfectly solve his escape problems.

However, he didn’t rush to make a decision, continuing to patiently read on.

The second image was a massive beast that looked sturdy and heavy, with skin like a mixture of flowing lava and hard rock.

It lay prone on the ground, its limbs short, thick, and powerful.

[Rock Core Star: Rock Core Earth Dragon.]

[Species Introduction: A burrowing creature living at the junction of the molten core and the upper rock crust of Rock Core Star, feeding on rare minerals.]

[Core Ability: Short-Range Earth Burrowing.

It can control the soil and rock in front of it to briefly “liquefy,” achieving rapid underground travel, with the ground returning to its original state afterward.]

[Armed Form: Rock-Walking Foot Armor (Foot Armament).

Upon fusion, it strengthens the foot structure and grants short-range earth-burrowing ability, suitable for stealth and raids in complex terrain.]

[Tactical Advice: Suitable for urban street fighting, mountainous environments, and scenarios requiring a stealthy approach or sudden escape.]

“Damn, it’s earth burrowing.”

Su Kai rubbed his chin.

Earth burrowing was actually not bad, with strong stealth capabilities, but he didn’t know how the speed was, and the visibility while burrowing was probably terrible.

The third image was a leopard-like creature covered in dark silver fur, with a slender and graceful physique.

Its figure in the image was somewhat blurred, as if it could merge into the shadows at any moment.

[Pale Shadow Star: Instant Shadow Star Leopard.]

[Species Introduction: A stealth hunter from the Eternal Twilight Forest of Pale Shadow Star.

Its fur can refract light and certain energy fluctuations, making its movements silent.]

[Core Ability: Burst Stealth.

It can raise its speed to the limit in a short time, while its body becomes semi-transparent, reducing the probability of being detected by optical and energy sensors.]

[Armed Form: Instant Shadow Leg Armor (Leg Armament).

Upon fusion, it significantly increases leg explosive power and short-range sprint speed, while gaining a temporary visual interference effect.]

[Tactical Advice: Suitable for close-range burst assaults, stealth assassinations, and battles requiring immediate escape from enemy lock-on.]

The three options each had their own merits.

The Wind-Splitting Falcon could fly, was fast, had high mobility, and had the widest range of applications, but a flying target might also be quite conspicuous.

The Rock Core Earth Dragon could burrow, had invincible stealth, and was suitable for ambushes and escapes, but underground movement probably had its limitations.

The Instant Shadow Star Leopard had high burst, came with a stealth effect, and was suitable for instantaneous operations in battle, but long-distance travel might not be its strong suit, and its abilities overlapped somewhat with some of the Nether Mantis’s abilities.

“It’s hard to choose…”

Su Kai scratched his head.

It seemed he had to solve the main conflict first.

His main conflict right now was the lack of a means for fast, long-distance movement, so he could quickly run away after causing trouble in the future.

Flying was undoubtedly the optimal solution.

The view was wide, it wasn’t restricted by terrain, and it was fast.

“This is the one!”

Su Kai immediately slapped his thigh and pointed at the image of the Wind-Splitting Falcon.

“System, unlock this ‘Wind-Splitting Falcon.’ How much Star Energy does it require?”

[Additional unlock for Hurricane Star: ‘Wind-Splitting Falcon’ index requires consumption of 1,500 points of Star Energy.

Detected that the host currently has sufficient Star Energy.

Confirm unlock?]

“Confirm unlock!”

Su Kai did not hesitate.

[Star Energy deducted: 1,500 points.]

[Establishing Star Sea link with the Hurricane Star ‘Wind-Splitting Falcon’ tribe…]

[Link successful!]

[‘Hurricane Star: Wind-Splitting Falcon’ index unlocked!]

[Related Armed Form ‘Wind-Splitting Wings’ is now available!]

The system prompts rang out one after another.

Su Kai immediately felt that he had quietly established a mysterious connection with a tribe on a distant star, filled with the will of freedom and gale winds.

He was just preparing to attempt a summon when he suddenly realized his residence seemed too small, perhaps unable to accommodate the size of the Wind-Splitting Falcon.

He simply walked out of his residence and came to the open area outside.

Due to his current status as a patrolman, the place where he lived was the only building within a three-kilometer radius.

The entire area appeared extremely empty.

After Su Kai came out, he immediately focused his mind and attempted the summon.

“Summon, Wind-Splitting Falcon.”

In an instant, a long, narrow space rift glowing with cyan-white light tore open silently, and a crisp eagle cry, like metal striking stone, suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a magnificent giant eagle flapped its wings and emerged from the space rift!

Its size was even more imposing than in the image.

The giant eagle’s total wingspan was nearly nine meters.

Its silver-gray feathers were distinct, their edges flowing with a cyan wind-type energy halo.

Its sharp eyes scanned everything around it, carrying the arrogance of a king of the skies.

After merely circling half a turn above Su Kai’s head, its whole body erupted with bursts of light.

Then it turned into countless cyan-white light particles and surged toward Su Kai’s back.

Su Kai only felt a surge of warmth near his shoulder blades.

The next moment, a pair of light wings, composed entirely of condensed cyan-white energy, suddenly unfurled behind his back!

The form of the light wings was beautiful and full of power.

As they flapped slightly, a swift airflow immediately swirled around, blowing the wild grass on the ground until it rustled.

“It worked!”

Su Kai excitedly turned his head, looking at the pair of wings on his back, and gently reached out to touch them.

The surface of the light wings was smooth, and he could clearly feel the violent storm energy inside.

He tried to control the light wings to flap.

Whoosh—

A stronger airflow surged downward, and he immediately lifted off the ground, soaring into the sky.

“Damn, I can really fly!”

Su Kai was delighted, like a child who had just received a new toy, controlling the light wings to float up and down and turn left and right in the sky.

At first, he was a bit clumsy and almost crashed into the surrounding high-voltage towers.

But soon, he found the feeling through constant attempts.

Before long, the Wind-Splitting Wings became like an extension of his own body, controlled as easily as his own arm.

With a single thought, the wings immediately reacted.

He tried to increase the flapping frequency.

Swish!

His whole body instantly crossed a distance of several kilometers, leaving only a cyan-white afterimage in the air behind him.
