"Shhh!"
As expected, the spears formed from golden elements pierced straight through the crimson giant tiger's flame armor and sank into its body.
"Roar!!!"
The tiger's once-proud face twisted in unbearable pain as it let out a howl of agony. Bai Xuan was slightly taken aback.
Honestly, he hadn't expected the tiger to do nothing more than form a layer of flame armor on the outside and give up trying to dodge. Golden-element spears were already sharp, and he had even added a layer of electric arcs to them, increasing their penetration power further.
It was lucky the tiger was still alive.
The golden spears had not pierced any of its vital organs.
At this moment, the crimson tiger no longer looked proud when it glared at Bai Xuan. It was still ferocious and angry, with its murderous intent significantly rising.

"Normally, wild animals have instinctive intuition for danger," Bai Xuan thought.
"So why didn't it dodge just now? Is its instinct ineffective against elemental attacks?"
"Or is it simply overconfident?"
Su Yue stared in disbelief as Bai Xuan calmly walked right up to the crimson tiger, completely ignoring the fury in its eyes.
"Roar!"
Without hesitation, the tiger opened its jaws, aiming to bite Bai Xuan. But at that moment, a mysterious force acted on the tiger, and its motion froze instantly.
Bai Xuan wasn't surprised in the slightest. He continued examining the tiger, occasionally running his hands through its fur and glancing at the fire lotus on its forehead.
"The internal flame power is strong—definitely stronger than Su Yue's."
"Is the fire lotus on its forehead a rune formed from its internal flame power? Or is it a special ability?"
"Its muscle condition is good; it must have already had a strong physique before mutation."
"However, with an awakened flame tiger, its body should resist fire well. Cooking it might take longer than normal meat."
As he observed, Bai Xuan's curiosity sparked a new thought.
"Interesting for research—let's try this later."
Satisfied, Bai Xuan didn't keep the tiger waiting. He placed both hands on its neck.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the crimson tiger lost its life.
"Sorry… your power was too strong. I didn't know how best to handle you, and after thinking, this seemed the safest way."
Bai Xuan patted the tiger's head, then made a slicing motion with his right hand, golden sparks appearing.
The golden light flashed in the air. Bai Xuan cut off the tiger's two legs. A faint silver glow emanated from the ring in his hand, and the tiger's body, along with the two severed legs, disappeared into thin air.

"Spatial Ring?!"
Su Yue, finally recovering from shock after the tiger's death, covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Has the country already developed spatial rings?"
"Was it created by a spatial-ability user?"
"But… why don't I have one?"
It wasn't just her. Chen Qiang, Ye Shurou, and even Huo Yu didn't have anything like it.
Could it be newly developed, given to Bai Xuan just for this mission?
Su Yue wondered, but Bai Xuan's words shattered that thought.
"No, I made it myself."
Bai Xuan didn't know whether the country had spatial-ability users or whether they could make such storage rings. This one he had specifically created last night.
It was meant to store mutant creatures' bodies and other resources from the nature reserve.
How did he do it?
Space is part of nature too.
Well… perhaps because he had read too many novels and adhered to the concepts of "space is king, time is supreme," he hadn't previously counted these abilities as part of nature.
Although the spatial ring uses spatial abilities, it wasn't used through [Authority of Nature], but through his Kaleidoscope Sharingan power:
Left Eye: Divine Oracle
"What I say is what God says; what I decree is divine."
"God said, 'Let there be light!'—and there was light. God said, 'Separate the waters, creating the firmament,'—and it was done. When this ability activates within your will, every word you speak becomes reality!"
With the "Divine Oracle" blessing, he easily created the spatial ring.
As for the cost?
He felt none. Even without using this power, he could create a spatial ring.
Nature had no cost.
Considering that his Divine Oracle ability is part of [Authority of Nature], using it this way counts as using natural power.

"???"
Su Yue's face was full of confusion. She timidly asked,
"Are you a spatial-ability user?"
Before Bai Xuan could answer, she continued,
"But… you just used golden-element powers."
"Wait… are you a dual-ability user?"
She hadn't heard of anyone awakening two abilities before.
"Who knows."
Bai Xuan smiled, then furrowed his brows and spun into a whip kick.
A sudden roar spread violent air currents in all directions.
"Boom!"
With a tremendous impact, blood sprayed through the air. A vague figure could be seen being kicked away, the force so strong that its body caved in before smashing into a large tree.
"Crack!"
The terrifying force broke the tree in half. The creature finally exhausted its strength and collapsed heavily.
Its body was now drenched in blood, making it hard to identify.
The scene fell silent. Su Yue, finally recovering from the crimson tiger shock, was stunned.
What had just happened?
Something had been kicked away by Bai Xuan?
No… not kicked away—blown apart? Even the tree couldn't withstand the force.
So Bai Xuan wasn't just a golden-element and spatial dual-ability user—his physical power was terrifying.
It made sense. After all, every mage with close-combat experience has an exceptional body. Bai Xuan had just obliterated a mutant creature and broken a tree in half with a single kick.
This wasn't human power!
Even with spiritual energy enhancing human bodies, there are limits.
How long has the spiritual revival been active? Even awakened elemental mages or physically enhanced people shouldn't be able to reach this level!
