Chapter 711, Not a God, Then a Devil

Translator: Silavin

 

Su Bai stretched lazily; the afternoon hours always made one drowsy.

 

He got up and tidied his clothes, planning to have a proper workout first, which would both strengthen his body and chase away the sleepiness.

 

“Ha! Ha! Ha!” Su Bai wielded his Crocodile Blade in the middle of the living room, swinging with force each time.

 

The sound of cutting through air mixed with heavy breathing, creating a feeling of intense heat in the sweltering afternoon.

 

“It’s a bit light now…” Su Bai stopped swinging the Crocodile Blade.

 

He looked at the blade in his hand with dissatisfaction, feeling something was missing. It was too light to train with.

 

“If only I had a heavier weapon, then I could swing it to my heart’s content.” Su Bai muttered to himself.

 

He swung the Crocodile Blade for quite a while, then put down the blade feeling rather unsatisfied.

 

Picking up a cup of plain water and taking a large gulp, he began mentally calculating alternative training methods.

 

Training with such a light blade all the time would yield no results; he definitely needed to switch to something with more weight to see changes.

 

This was also why Totem Warriors within the Tribe all trained with heavy weights. t not only could it rapidly increase muscle mass, but it could also greatly improve physical fitness.

 

Warriors ran about and jumped around in the forest every day, consuming tremendous amounts of energy. If their physical fitness could not keep up, then they might as well forfeit. At this point, never mind hunting, being able to preserve one’s own life would already be quite good. After all, who would dare dream of fighting those Ferocious Beasts without the strength to truss a chicken? One would be fish on the chopping block if they were so weak.

 

“Next time I’ll have to go outside the Tribe to train; this blade alone won’t do.” Su Bai said to himself.

 

He put down his teacup and got up to continue training, this time wanting to test his new Skill, Iron Arm.

 

“Iron Arm!” As soon as Su Bai’s words fell, both his arms instantly seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light. He looked at his hands with satisfaction and began swinging his fists in the living room, giving off quite a profound and mysterious feeling.

 

“Ha! Ha!” Shouts rang out continuously as Su Bai kept swinging his hands, just like practising martial arts, each movement with great force.

 

If this punch struck a person’s body, judging by this force, it would either break bones or cause them to vomit blood.

 

“What truly satisfying training!” Su Bai smiled contentedly.

 

He did not rest for a moment, continuing to swing his hands with force, the sound of cutting through air clearly audible.

 

Sweat flew out drop by drop with each swing, creating quite a spectacular scene.

 

“I really want to test the power of the Iron Arm Skill.” Su Bai stopped swinging and kept looking at his hands.

 

Thinking this, he stopped swinging and, after drinking some water, turned to prepare to leave.

 

Taking advantage of Yu Ying’s time at the workshop, he would quickly go to the forest to test its power.

 

This way, he could avoid accidentally frightening Yu Ying with his explosive strength again.

 

Speaking of which, when he first transmigrated here, he was truly weak, only able to rely on the knowledge in his head.

 

If he had to go head-to-head with a Warrior, he would not be their match, even if his opponent went easy on him and used only one hand.

 

No, even if a Warrior used just one finger, he would have no way to resist them.

 

But now it was different; with the enhancement of various Skills, dealing with a Warrior would now be effortless for him.

 

Even if several Warriors came together, he would not be fazed in the slightest.

 

*Step step step…* Su Bai changed his clothes and left the Yong’an Building. Just as he came downstairs, someone immediately followed him up.

 

It was Ye Jiu. As long as she was not on a mission, she would guard the Yong’an Building, all to protect the Shaman’s safety.

 

Previously, Qing Mu and Chi Tu had been the ones guarding the entrance, but both were now staying at the Sea Fish Tribe.

 

For the time being, no more suitable candidates could be found, and using newly promoted Totem Warriors was not very safe either.

 

Ye Jiu had thus volunteered herself, willingly becoming the Shaman’s personal guard, spending every day at the Yong’an Building except for her sleeping hours.

 

Unless she received a mission to go out, after she left, her replacement would be Yue, or alternatively Bai Si.

 

In any case, these three were now the ones taking turns guarding the Yong’an Building, and all three had considerable strength.

 

“It’s fine, you don’t need to follow me. I’m just going to have a look near the forest.” Su Bai waved his hand.

 

He still preferred not to have anyone following him; he did not want to reveal his strength to others for now.

 

“Shaman, I’m following the Chieftain’s orders and must protect your safety, especially since you’re going to the forest.” Ye Jiu said seriously.

 

Even if the other party was the Shaman, for the sake of protecting his safety, she had to stay close by.

 

“Alright then.” Su Bai knew she would continue refusing to leave.

 

*Step step step…* Half an hour later, the two left the Tribe by carriage and headed towards the forest from the Tribe’s entrance.

 

“Shaman, why did you suddenly think of coming to the forest?” Ye Jiu asked, puzzled.

 

“I want to test a new Shaman Technique I’ve learned; it’s inconvenient to test it inside the Yong’an Building.” Su Bai explained.

 

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, then asked in shock. “Has the Shaman learned a new Shaman Technique? Is this really true?”

 

Ye jiu could hardly believe her ears; learning Shaman Techniques was not easy. Moreover, the Shaman already knew plenty of Shaman Techniques, and now he was suddenly saying he had learned a new one.

 

This was truly shocking; she looked at the person before her as if looking at a monster.

 

Apart from deities, only a true monster could learn Shaman Techniques this quickly. It was simply beyond belief.

 

“What’s wrong? When have I ever lied to you? Ah, you’ll see in a moment.” Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly.

 

“Yes.” Ye Jiu nodded after a moment’s hesitation.

 

After Su Bai looked around to confirm no one was present, he cast his Skill mentally.

 

Both hands once again seemed plated with metal, obviously becoming much harder. Su Bai flexed his fingers a few times, selected a massive tree, and slowly walked towards it.

 

*Step step step…*

 

He clenched his left hand tightly into a fist and struck forcefully at the tree trunk.

 

*Boom!*

*Crack crack crack!*

 

A tremendous sound rang out, the noise of the trunk breaking was also very loud, and the trunk slowly toppled over at a visibly rapid pace.

 

“This…” Ye Jiu was completely dumbfounded.

 

That tree required two people to embrace it, yet it had been effortlessly knocked down in an instant.

 

Ye Jiu could hardly believe the scene before her eyes. This was also accomplished with just one hand.

 

“Not bad.” Su Bai rotated his wrist.
