"Hu, come here."
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
Hu swiftly trotted over to his side. Dropping to one knee, he respectfully said, "Master, what commands do you have?"
His physique was immense, nearly five meters tall when standing fully upright. Even kneeling, his shoulders were higher than Chu Xuan's head.
Chu Xuan patted Hu's shoulder with satisfaction.
"How's your progress with magic cultivation lately?"
Hu scratched his head and answered in a humble tone, "I have poor talent, only managing to learn some basic spells."
He continued, "It seems I learn defensive magic faster than other types of spells."
Letting out a low growl, Hu released a surge of Lightning Spiritual Qi, quickly enveloping his body in a crackling armor of thunder.
Another growl, and Hu summoned four giant shields made of lightning to surround him.
Within moments, Hu had cast six different defensive spells. In contrast, his attempts at offensive magic were painfully slow. Not only were they off-target, but they were also so weak they barely made an impact.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Good boy," he muttered. "You've maxed out your defense!"
He chuckled, "Don't you envy Long?"
Hu nodded vigorously. "I do. Its level is lower than mine, but its strength can rival mine. If it had the same level, it would definitely be stronger than me."
Chu Xuan grew serious, his voice becoming more thoughtful. "I plan to integrate the True Steel Centipede into your body. Once you form a symbiotic relationship with it, you'll be stronger than Long."
Hu's eyes widened in pure excitement. "Thank you, Master!"
He had no reservations or doubts. As long as it could make him stronger, enabling him to serve his master better, he would be thrilled.
Chu Xuan smiled and explained further, "These three True Steel Centipedes are all third-transformation gu worms. If you want to fight, you could crush them effortlessly. You need to learn to accept them, don't resist."
Chu Xuan cut open Hu's chest, carefully placing one of the True Steel Centipedes inside, while speaking in a deep, commanding tone.
Hu nodded, understanding completely. "Master, I understand."
With wide, copper-like eyes, he stood perfectly still, allowing the True Steel Centipede to burrow into his body without flinching.
Chu Xuan extended his spiritual sense, constantly monitoring Hu's changes.
When he noticed the True Steel Centipede was feeding relentlessly, he immediately poured in a pre-prepared medicinal liquid through the wound. This liquid was designed to reduce the activity of the True Steel Centipede, a concept he had derived from the Giant Centipede Cultivation Method given to him by Xiao Renjie.
Time passed steadily. Hu's body began to heal, with the True Steel Centipede slowly being enveloped by flesh and blood. Gradually, the two forms merged seamlessly together.
Chu Xuan smiled and clapped his hands.

It worked! To his surprise, it succeeded on the first try.
Crack, crack!
Hu slowly stood up.
Its body expanded at a visible rate, growing taller and broader with each second. In the blink of an eye, it had grown from just under five meters to over six and a half meters in height. Its muscular arms were so thick they could rival the trunks of large trees.
