Su Bai and the others departed the Yongāan Building, boarding the carriage towards the Tribeās outer region.
Half an hour later, the group reached an uninhabited location.
Ye Jiu surveyed the surroundings thoroughly, confirming security before opening the carriage door.
She retreated respectfully to one side, saying softly, "Shaman, thereās nobody in the vicinity. You may proceed with confidence."
After all, this involved a Tribeās Shaman departing to test a Ferocious Beast Crystalās capabilities. Naturally, they needed to ensure complete privacy. Otherwise, information might leak, or surrounding individuals might suffer injuries.
"Understood. Everyone maintained some distance from me. I donāt know how much my abilities have been enhanced." Su Bai shook his sleeves, signalling everyone to retreat behind him.
"Understood." Everyone comprehended immediately, retreating to a suitable distance.
However, nobody withdrew that far. They needed to make sure the Shaman was always safe, this was paramount.
Observing everyone has repositioned, Su Bai formed his right hand into a pistol configuration, preparing to deploy his Finger Gun Skill.
This time, he intended to test all his Skills systematically, determining whether the Ferocious Beast Crystal enhanced their effectiveness.
*Bang!*
Following a gunshot sound, a large treeās trunk exploded directly, as though struck by a small explosive package.
This occurred instantaneously. Everyone stood completely stunned.
Wisps of smoke emanated from the tree trunk. The trunk section had been obliterated entirely, demonstrating tremendous destructive capability.
"Itās a lot stronger. Last time, this would only create a bullet hole. Now, it resembles a small hand grenadeā¦" Su Bai flexed his finger, dispersing the residual smoke trails.
"Is this a Shaman Technique? Iāve never heard of such a thing before." Ye Jiuās mind reeled momentarily. Although she had heard Su Bai possessed formidable abilities, she had never witnessed them directly.
The current demonstration revealed that the Shaman was not merely the Tribeās spiritual leader, he could protect the Tribe effectively as well.
Previously, everyone understood the Shamanās role in unifying the Tribe. The Shamanās capabilities served Tribal needs: awakening Totem Warriors, crafting Shaman Bone Tablets, guiding the Tribe towards prosperity, and so forth.
Everyone acknowledged the Shamanās extraordinary abilities, yet nobody associated them with combat proficiency.
However, circumstances had changed. Su Baiās demonstrated capabilities proved he was truly formidable. He was too strong to be disregarded now.
"This is so much stronger than when you last did it. The Ferocious Beast Crystal must suit the Shaman really well." Yan Hua exclaimed in amazement.
Yan Huaās red eyes remained fixed on the tree, completely overwhelmed by the destructive power.
That single strike exceeded what Totem Warriors could withstand. Even those with substantial capabilities.
Even Ferocious Beasts could not survive such an impact. Provided it struck vital areas or vulnerable regions, the effects would prove devastatingly effective.
"If accurate, the Shaman would no longer require our protection. We might need his protection instead.ā Sha Lan maintained remarkable clarity regarding the implications of this.
"The Shaman is so strongā¦" Yu Ying stood completely mesmerised.
The sudden gunshot sound had thoroughly startled Yu Ying. She immediately burrowed into Sha Lanās embrace, her pink fox tail drooping. Only after considerable time did she recover.
Yu Yingās perception of Su Bai had been limited to his intelligence. He could come up with numerous innovations beyond othersā understanding. Furthermore, these innovations substantially benefited the Tribe. Additionally, his Shaman Techniques were all so powerful.
However, this understanding had been confined to Curing Skills and Growth Acceleration Skills. She had possessed little knowledge of his combat capabilities.
"Since the Finger Gun Skill has been enhanced, letās examine the other Skills." Su Bai murmured to himself.
Retracting his finger, he prepared his other hand to deploy the next Skill, Iron Arm.
This was a close-quarters combat Skill, utilised less frequently.
Naturally, the Finger Gun Skill also saw limited application, given his protected status within the Tribe.
As he finished speaking, Su Baiās left hand acquired a pale golden radiance, resembling an enhanced mechanical prosthetic.
Without hesitation, he raised his left hand and struck a nearby boulder.
However, this time he applied only thirty percent of his full strength. The massive boulder shattered completely.
Moreover, the boulder had disintegrated beyond recognition, and the powdered fragments appeared genuinely unsettling.
[I wonder what if I use my full strength? Would even larger boulders completely disintegrate?] Su Bai contemplated with satisfaction.
He now possessed a clearer understanding of Iron Armās capabilities. When initially acquiring this Skill, he had conducted a preliminary test. However, at that time, Iron Arm required maximum effort to shatter a boulder. Now, merely thirty percent strength was enough.
An enhancement of this magnitude was clear as day.
Su Bai proceeded without delay, systematically testing his other Skills: Growth Acceleration Skill, Curing Skill, and similar Skills.
The results were consistent, everything got significantly enhanced, which was remarkably gratifying.
However, certain Skills were challenging to activate right now, so he could not check all of them
For instance, Space, Danger Foresight, Extraction and Conversion, Taming, and similar Skill could not be tested right now.
At present, the forest also contained no formidable Ferocious Beasts. Small wild beasts could be Tamed using his original abilities. This meant there was no opportunity to assess how the Ferocious Beast Crystal had enhanced the Taming Skill.
Danger Foresight proved even more problematic. He could not possibly just Will dangerous situations to materialise. He also could not prevent Danger Foresight from activating.
Extraction and Conversion was the same. He needed specific objects for more accurate testing.
"Shaman, have you completed all the tests?" Yu Ying immediately approached, offering a water container.
Yu Ying had been observing throughout, only daring to approach after Su Bai had rested.
She could not tell whether the tests would continue, waiting until all activity ceased before asking.
Su Bai reached out to pinch her cheek gently, saying warmly, "Testing is done. I now understand it much better."
Indeed, he now fully understood his capabilities. His current level equated to a High Grade Totem Warrior.
Potentially, even higher.
