Chapter 935: Surviving the Ordeal

As Su Bai’s left hand gradually approached, everyone was holding their breath in anticipation at this moment.

Su Bai’s left hand was wrapped full of materials. Just like reaching into water, it reached into Ban Ye’s chest.

The entire process flowed smoothly without any hesitation. When it went in, there was also no obstruction whatsoever.

Yan Hua and the others beside him were stunned watching. Originally, they thought it would involve performing the removal outside the body.

Unexpectedly, he actually put his hand inside the body, and at the heart area at that.

Ban Ye was clearly also startled by this scene. However, he did not make any major movements. Instead, he quietly stood in place without moving. However, he did not feel any pain.

Originally thinking having a hand reach into his heart would be extremely uncomfortable, yet when the entire palm went in, he didn’t feel anything at all.

"What comes next is the real highlight. You need to endure it." Su Bai gave a warm reminder.

"Yes, Shaman." Ban Ye couldn’t help taking several deep breaths.

Yan Hua was also watching very seriously beside him. Unknowingly, she’d been drawn into this scene.

The others were the same, all curious about how the operation would proceed.

"An mo la ku li…" Su Bai continuously muttered incantations.

As a series of incomprehensible incantations sounded, Ban Ye’s forehead began producing large amounts of cold sweat.

His brows also tightly locked, his face showing clearly an expression of pure torment.

Clearly, the ceremony had reached its climax.

However, he did not make any major movements. Instead, he lightly bit his jaw and persisted.

"You must hold on, otherwise the entire ceremony will be wasted." Beads of sweat also began appearing on Su Bai’s forehead.

He was very worried the other wouldn’t hold on, otherwise this ceremony they had prepared for so long would fail at the final hurdle.

"Yes." Ban Ye nodded heavily. The veins on his forehead and neck also began showing. Large amounts of sweat beads also began emerging on his body. Both fists also clenched tightly, his nails almost sinking into his flesh. His entire body began trembling uncontrollably.

However, his reaction was not that intense, because Ban Ye had been forcefully enduring it.

"Finding the Ferocious Beast Crystal requires some time, so during this time you must endure it." Su Bai instructed again. Clearly, he knew the one suffering in this ceremony was Ban Ye.

Of course, he himself had also consumed a great deal of Shaman Power. After performing this ceremony, he would probably need to rest for two days.

"I understand. No matter what, I won’t let the Shaman’s efforts be wasted." Ban Ye clenched his fists even tighter.

"There shouldn’t be any problems, right?" Yan Hua was extremely worried about Su Bai.

She could see sweat continuously flowing from his forehead. The linen clothes on his body were almost soaked with sweat.

Yan Hua had never seen Su Bai in this state. Moreover, she’d already developed feelings for him now. She inevitably felt anxious, while also worrying whether this ceremony could succeed.

"There definitely won’t be any problems. The Shaman is so capable. We must believe in him." Yu Ying slowly stepped forward and pulled Yan Hua’s sleeve.

Clearly, Yu Ying also felt extremely worried. Her pink eyes were full of concern.

"Yes. At this moment, we can only believe in the Shaman, and also hope Ban Ye can make it through. Otherwise, this ceremony will be wasted." Sha Lan still felt Su Bai had used up a lot of his Shaman Power.

"I know." Yan Hua nodded resolutely.

Seeing even the usually gentle and weak Yu Ying become strong, she had no reason to be worse than her.

Su Bai’s attention had initially been entirely on Ban Ye. After hearing Yan Hua and the others’ words, he turned his head and smiled slightly at them. This was also to put them somewhat at ease.

"Ah…" Ban Ye had bitten through his lower lip. The palms of his hands were also bleeding profusely, that was caused by his nails sinking in.

After all, he was a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior. His strength was extraordinary. Not having his palms pierced entirely through was already counted as fortunate.

Ban Ye kept making low enduring sounds. There was already a large pool of sweat beneath his feet.

This was like having a bucket of water poured down from overhead. One could imagine how much sweat he had produced from the pain.

If not for his strong will, he would probably have already fainted from pain by now.

"Found it." Su Bai’s eyebrows suddenly lifted. The originally tense expression on his face also began showing signs of relaxation.

Yan Hua and the others also breathed sighs of relief beside him, only hoping the final step would not have any mishaps.

Su Bai continued focusing his attention on the other. His hand wrapped full of materials kept searching around the heart area.

At this moment, Ban Ye felt as if his heart was being gripped by someone. His expression was extremely agonised.

However, after hearing Su Bai say those two words ‘found it’, his endurance had something to look forward to.

If not for this, he truly might not be able to hold on. Even as a Totem Warrior, there was no way to endure the pain of having one’s heart gripped.

Time passed minute by minute. Ten minutes later, Su Bai slowly withdrew his hand.

Miraculously, there was no wound whatsoever on Ban Ye’s chest. He also instantly collapsed limply to the ground.

Su Bai opened his tightly clenched fist. The materials on his hand had completely dispersed cleanly.

On his broad palm, there were also no bloodstains whatsoever. There was only a crystal stone emitting pale blue light lying in his palm.

The entire crystal’s shape was extremely irregular, somewhat like a failed diamond cut.

"So this is a Ferocious Beast Crystal? It has a warm feeling to it. I can also sense its stores a potent power." Delight appeared on Su Bai’s face as he continued. "No wonder your body couldn’t withstand it."

He could feel the power transmitted from the Ferocious Beast Crystal in his palm. This was absolutely not something a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior could withstand.

Ban Ye at this moment kept gasping in large breaths. He had a feeling of surviving a disaster.

Although the crystal had already been extracted, he still felt extremely weak now.

Yan Hua immediately ran over, leaning forward to observe that Ferocious Beast Crystal.

She hesitated for a moment, then said softly. "So this is a Ferocious Beast Crystal?"

This was the first time she’d seen a Ferocious Beast Crystal. Her face showed nothing but astonishment.

"It looks so beautiful. I can also feel the power it radiates." Sha Lan felt a kind of oppressive force coming at her face.

"En…" Yu Ying couldn’t help making a sound that sparked the imagination.

She felt somewhat unable to open her eyes, and also felt extremely oppressed.

Seeing Yu Ying in this state, Su Bai immediately closed his palm, restraining the Ferocious Beast Crystal’s glow.

His brows furrowed slightly as he asked with concern, "Xiao Yu, are you alright? It seems those who aren’t Totem Warriors have no way to look directly at this Ferocious Beast Crystal."

"I’m fine." Yu Ying felt somewhat fatigued.
