Cave Refuge

Seeing the color change in Zane King's arm skin, Leo King was very excited and asked Zane King, "Zane, quickly tell your uncle, which super ability have you awakened?"

Dong Tianyu was also curious, since compared to those abilities that could be explicitly demonstrated, the only change Zane King exhibited was in his skin, revealing none of the effects of the ability.

Upon hearing the two men's question, Zane King then shared the effects of his ability, "After using my super ability, my body's resistance to physical blows greatly increases, and I also lose the sensation of pain."

After hearing about Zane King's super ability effects, both Dong Tianyu and Leo King felt somewhat disappointed, for compared to other powerful abilities, the one awakened by Zane King was honestly mediocre.

Body enhancement abilities, apart from a few special effects, mostly offer little use. If there were a grading system for super ability effects, this ability would only be rated at the lowest level.

However, typical body enhancement abilities, if awakened by a normal person, usually show a significant improvement in personal strength at the initial stages.

Noticing his uncle's disappointed look, Zane King realized that his uncle was not satisfied with the super ability he had awakened.

Perhaps sensing his own negative effect on his nephew, Leo King quickly adjusted his mood and continued to inquire, "Zane, do you know how strong an attack your super ability can withstand after you use it?"

After considering for a moment, Zane King somewhat uncertainly responded, "Perhaps it should be able to resist a close-range gunshot from a handgun."

Hearing this, Leo King clearly didn't believe him, so he directly scolded, "Zane, don't overestimate yourself. Resisting a close-range bullet shot? Just tell me the truth, don't lie to me."

Feeling wronged by Leo King's reprimand, Zane King felt his honesty and capability was being doubted, wondering why his uncle still treated him like a child who couldn't be trusted.

Seeing Zane King's aggrieved and stubborn expression, Dong Tianyu interjected to smooth things over, "He's just awakened and gained this super ability. He hasn't undergone detailed tests, so he might not be clear about the true defensive effects after using his ability. What he mentioned is just a rough estimate."

Hearing Dong Tianyu's defense, Zane King immediately showed a grateful expression, and upon hearing Dong Tianyu's reasoning, Leo King reconsidered and thought that Dong Tianyu was right, for without testing, no one knew how strong the defense boost from Zane King's super ability really was.

"Why don't we go out and test the effects of the super ability?"

Hearing Leo King's suggestion, Dong Tianyu and Zane King did not object, and the three of them directly went onto the deck.

Although Zane King claimed that his super ability should be able to withstand close-range shots from a handgun, Leo King obviously wouldn't test it using a handgun right away, but instead pulled out a dagger from his calf.

He first tested Zane King's resistance to piercing and cutting injuries with his super ability.

As Leo King kept increasing the pressure, the dagger on Zane King's arm still did not pierce or cut through his arm.

After some experimental attempts, Leo King took out a handgun, hesitating whether to continue the test, as getting injured at this time could be quite problematic.

Shooting the arm at close range with a handgun could damange bones, and as they say, recovering from muscle and bone injuries takes a hundred days. Being injured now could indeed be life-threatening.

Just as Zane King was about to ask Leo King to shoot, Dong Tianyu suddenly intervened, "That's enough, Old King, put the handgun away. Right now, we are just testing your nephew's newly awakened super ability, not looking to injure him until you are forced to stop.

Based on the test we just did, even if using the super ability doesn't completely stop gunshots, it would at least reduce the bullet's damage. We know the effect, and we're not researchers needing to figure out exact data."

Hearing Dong Tianyu's persuasion, Leo King naturally put away his weapon, for Zane King was his own nephew, and without Dong Tianyu's presence, Leo King wouldn't have suggested going out to test the super ability.

But since the potion for the super ability awakening was provided by Dong Tianyu, showing him the effects in front of Dong Tianyu upon Zane's successful awakening was sort of like a post-sale service.

So when Leo King heard Dong Tianyu's suggestion to stop the experiment, he immediately took the opportunity to agree, not even offering a pretense of negotiation.

Seeing Leo King's reaction, Dong Tianyu immediately understood Leo King's intentions; he realized he had been maneuvered, but even guessing his tactic, Dong Tianyu merely smiled casually.

After all, Dong Tianyu wasn't concerned about what super ability Zane King had acquired from the potion, he was only concerned about whether there would be any adverse reactions from using it.

Whether chatting or conducting the earlier experiments, Dong Tianyu was essentially buying time to see if any side effects would emerge over time.

Upon confirming that there were no adverse effects from the potion on Zane King, Dong Tianyu took out a book of Martial Path Cultivation Techniques from the Storage Space, and tossing it to Zane King, he said, "This is a Martial Path Cultivation Method. Try practicing it and see if you can learn it."
