The surprise Gale Swordsmanship brought Lu Ran was actually less than the surprise Sword King had given him back then. After all, on the surface, this talent simply gave General Ha's wind sword techniques another buff.
Of course, for now, Lu Ran was only theorizing. Just how powerful Gale Swordsmanship could be still had to be tested in combat. Compared with the newly awakened Racial Talent, General Ha's species level actually surprised Lu Ran more.
High-level leader. General Ha had jumped an entire major species rank, going straight from high-level extraordinary to a high-level leader species. With Sword King's boost, General Ha could even rival a low-level monarch species!
The scale of this evolution shook Lu Ran. But he also understood that this was not solely thanks to the "Nature Control trait."
Although the Nature Control trait was one of the very best traits and provided a tremendous boost to a pet beast's species after evolution, it should not have allowed General Ha to make such a huge leap.
The most crucial reason was still that exquisite-tier resource, the Wind King's Fruit. Its main effect was to strengthen a pet beast's control over and affinity for wind, not its energy.
It was not particularly effective at raising a pet beast's growth level. In other words, even after General Ha used this resource, General Ha would not shoot up to level 30 or 40 like certain creatures that consumed suitable exquisite resources.
However, it could give a wind pet beast of a low-ranking species a talent for controlling wind on par with a wind monarch!
In other words, its effect was to enhance a pet beast's elemental potential. After General Ha used the Wind King's Fruit, that species potential increased dramatically. The stage evolution brought about by the Nature Control trait
