Shang definitely didn't look forward to fighting the Trash Bird. Sadly, such an opponent was the optimal choice for him.

Beasts at the Initial General Stage already had overwhelmingly powerful bodies, and Shang had to use his entire repertoire of smarts and tactics to fight them.

And then, he could only fight the weakest General Stage beasts.

Shang didn't dare to attempt to fight a beast that was actually powerful in a direct confrontation. Just their speed alone was already ridiculous.

Shang charged into the northwestern forest, leaving the defense behind. He was actually glad that the Trash Bird fled into the forest since Shang wouldn't have to worry about prying eyes.

The Trash Bird was around three meters tall, and it didn't have it very easy passing through the Wild Forest. It wasn't built for traversing a dense forest since its home was the Wasteland. On top of that, whenever it destroyed a tree, it got slowed down by a lot.

Following the Trash Bird's trail wasn't difficult. It would be harder to not know where it was with its constant screeching.

After a couple of seconds, Shang came close to the Trash Bird. Right now, Shang didn't need to be careful since the hunters were blocking all General Stage beasts from entering the Wild Forest.

Ironically enough, the day that the most beasts entered battle was also the day the Wild Forest was at its safest.

As Shang started to close in on the Trash Bird, something happened to his body.

A white mist was left behind by Shang's legs as he accelerated to higher speeds.

If someone with an Ice Affinity were here, they would be able to feel a cloud of Ice Mana leaving Shang's body.

At this moment, Shang reached the speed of an Initial General Stage warrior.

And even more, this was not a momentary increase!

Shang could keep this going indefinitely!

How?!

Well, after a lot of training with his Affinities, Shang had unlocked the ability to release his Affinities from other parts of his body with a lessened effect.

At the moment, Shang was continually shooting out Ice Mana from his back and legs, increasing his speed.

But wouldn't that heat up his body?

Yes, it would, but if it got too hot, Shang could simply switch to releasing Fire Mana. As long as he didn't change the temperature of his body too quickly, it wouldn't become injured.

Something like this would be impossible if Shang only used his left arm. After all, his left arm had only so much mass.
