Chapter 867: Chapter 333: 8th Rank Trial (6k)_2
The video is none other than a recording of a battle, and one of the protagonists mentioned is Harlim.
"Is this the battle where Harlim was ambushed and finished off?
This should be the Pharmacist then, transformed into a Tree-man, unlike any Starry Skyâs profession, or a Paradise Superpower User?
Hmm? Their combat capabilities seem somewhat off. This enhancement canât be the result of just a few potions stacked up. Even considering normal growth, theyâve surely used as many potions as I have..."
The battle video is not from a single perspective but encompasses the entire battlefield.
Although the huge Tree-man and Harlimâs Mechanical Forces are the core and most conspicuous, they are quickly overshadowed by the battles of those high-level Strong Persons around them.
Noticing the strength of those high-level Strong Persons, he clearly understands their levels and instantly judges the degree of potion usage by comparing them before and after.
In his heart, he silently calculates the time. Within just one or two months, so many potions have been refined and directly provided to so many people. Calculating the production capacity of this Pharmacist named Fan Mao is truly terrifying.
Far surpassing the two commonly known Pharmacists by more than tenfold.
At this speed, even if that Pharmacist started refining earlier, the average refining speed doesnât hold much significance anymore; it far exceeds the two they are familiar with.
"Rumor has it that Fan Mao has found a way to mass-produce Tier Five and Tier Six potions?
Could it be some method to accelerate potion production?"
The Martial Cultivation Association President, having been in contact with Starry Sky for so long, is accustomed to the production speeds of the two Pharmacists, viewing that as normal. Encountering Bai Yiâs efficiency made him somewhat flabbergasted.
"No wonder they place such importance on this. A Pharmacist of this level might completely seize their long-standing positions, something they absolutely cannot accept.
Yet, despite this, it shouldnât warrant such attention. Did I overlook something?"
After watching it again, the Martial Cultivation Association President knows what he saw doesnât warrant the attention of this Extreme Mage at the pinnacle of Tier Eight. He doesnât even respect the abilities of the two Alchemists he knows, let alone this newly emerged Pharmacistâs refining capabilities.
To him, the most important thing is to find a path to Tier Nine, breaking through that level, while potions have only a weak effect at his tier.
Itâs not entirely ineffective, but the quantity change can no longer support the qualitative transformation.
Rewatching the battle video, he finally detected a trace of something peculiar.
"Hmm? What is Fan Maoâs ability?
It seems somewhat like a Mechanical Master, yet the entity resembles a special Martial Artist combining superpowers, but how did she manage to control the opponentâs machinery in an instant?
Even an Extreme Mechanical Master at Tier Eight could hardly mastermind such a coup, and judging by the scene, it seems more like the effect of a superpower.
Wait... superpower?"
The Martial Cultivation Association President feels heâs discovered the key, with superpowers being neither too plentiful nor too scarce in the Starry Sky, he has a basic understanding of them.
Superpower limitations on self-growth, superpower capability constraints, relationships between superpowers and Abnormal Objects, and most importantly, the limitation of superpower abilities.
"Although both are at Tier Seven, it surprisingly can instantly impact Harlimâs machinery. Under a Mechanical Masterâs ability, there would be a shared Tier Seven level coercive determination.
Even I cannot completely disregard Tier Sevenâs coercive determination now. Is this what heâs concerned about?"
Thinking of what the Extreme Mage of Tier Eight did recently, he immediately arrives at a hypothesis.
"I think everyone probably has their own ideas. That Pharmacist called Fan Mao, her superpower seems problematic.
Furthermore, we all know that superpowers inherently get endowed with limits, limiting growth, but superpowers reaching a certain level of potential donât fall into this category.
Conversely, at this level, superpowers display extraordinary characteristics even at lower tiers, possessing abilities normally expected only at the Tier Seven level in terms of coercion.
This is crucial for judging superpower potential when Superpower Users are in their weaker states.
However, this characteristic automatically blurs once they reach or are near this limit, as the advantage is no longer significant, unable to achieve overwhelming dominance.
Moreover, itâs not as if we havenât seen superpowers with Tier Eight potential, comparisons already exist.
Unless..."
He doesnât need to elaborate, everyone tacitly completes the answer.
Unless this superpower potential exceeds Tier Eight.
Though the Starry Sky never witnessed this, thereâs always a first time for everything.
And now, isnât this Extreme Tier Eight mage pursuing such a thing?
"Are you trying to..."
Someone understands the intention, hesitantly asks, but the Extreme Tier Eight figure denies it immediately.
"No, not yet.
Leaving aside whether itâs true as we speculate, superpowers are infinitely varied, and none can confirm if a genuinely special ability allows instant machinery control.
After all, havenât we encountered something similar before?"
The Martial Cultivation Association President immediately recalls the blunder when he first joined the small group and participated in the first operation.
An exceptionally specialized Abnormal Object was mistakenly thought to have Tier Nine potential, only to be merely something with brute force and impressive wind control, leading to its overpowering effect.
