Based on Chu Kuang's estimation, if Class Five were to come here, they'd likely suffer more than half their casualties even if they managed to take it. Only Class Three and Class Two could secure this Source Energy Spring Eye with minimal losses.

However, for the top classes, most of their ace students had already left their classmates to form teams and clear out these Source Energy Spring Eyes. Relying solely on these ace students to take this nest would probably be quite difficult.

"If my predictions are correct, this Source Energy Spring Eye is one of the largest in this Dark Domain."

"Once we take it, the Source Energy Treasure Liquid we obtain will definitely be more than just a single gourd."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself, then walked in with his spear.

The five Sabertooth Tigers had already discovered Chu Kuang. As he crossed the boundary, the pack immediately surrounded him in a fan formation.

Chu Kuang keenly observed that four of the Sabertooth Tigers were about ten feet long, while the leader, the Tiger King, was as large as a giant elephant.

"Roar—"

After a brief standoff, the Sabertooth Tiger pack finally attacked.

With a roar, one Sabertooth Tiger lunged out, its claws tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.

Chu Kuang's pupils instantly turned cold. His war spear spun in a crescent trajectory, its blade stirring up sharp energy blades that swept in all directions. The immense, unparalleled force sent the giant tiger bleeding and flying backward.

But before he could press his advantage, the other three Sabertooth Tigers lunged. The first slid in low, its sharp claw strikes aimed at Chu Kuang's legs with fierce force.

The second pounced directly at Chu Kuang's right hand, which held the war spear. The last leaped high from behind, aiming directly for Chu Kuang's throat.

"Just in time."

Chu Kuang's pupils narrowed slightly. He slammed his war spear onto the ground, using the momentum to leap over ten feet into the air. All three giant tigers lunged and missed.

Turning back, he drew his war spear like a deadly curved bow, then spiraled downwards. The spearhead spun and swept in all directions, sending invisible energy blades slashing towards the three attacking Sabertooth Tigers.

With Chu Kuang's Life Level of 6.7, the force of this attack, if it landed solidly, would likely leave these three Sabertooth Tigers dead or severely injured.

But at the critical moment, the Tiger King charged forward like a bloody blur, its power seemingly exploding to an unbelievable degree. It actually managed to forcefully knock aside Chu Kuang's war spear.

"Clang—"

"Berserk?"

Chu Kuang fell from mid-air, the deflected war spear spinning back into his hand. A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

Berserk was usually a talent mastered by early-stage Beast Soldiers. This Tiger King, with a Life Level of only 6.3, could already master a talent of this level. It was indeed worthy of being a clone of the powerful Sabertooth Tiger, known for its innate talent.

The true Sabertooth Tigers seem to be advanced Beast Soldiers upon reaching adulthood.

Chu Kuang's thoughts flashed through his mind. He then sharply dodged a lunging giant tiger, his fighting spirit flaring even brighter.

At this moment, the Tiger King led the charge, lunging fiercely at Chu Kuang. The other four Sabertooth Tigers watched menacingly, no longer forcing a frontal assault on Chu Kuang.

It was clear that after their initial probing, these Sabertooth Tigers knew Chu Kuang was not to be trifled with, so they let the Tiger King handle him directly.

Facing the Tiger King's ferocious assault, Chu Kuang blocked with his spear, only to find his alloy war spear bending into an arc. He decisively used the force to leap backward.

"Such immense strength."

Chu Kuang's brow furrowed slightly. He then heard more roars, and the four Sabertooth Tigers attacked Chu Kuang's limbs.

The Sabertooth Tiger race was renowned for its strength. After going Berserk, the Tiger King's strength was almost on par with Chu Kuang's.

Under these circumstances, with four other Sabertooth Tigers tying him down, Chu Kuang found it difficult to end the fight quickly.

"Very well, let you all provide me with enough pressure to push my strength further."

Faced with such pressure, Chu Kuang did not retreat. Instead, he pushed his Blood Battle in All Directions to its absolute limit.

Using the combat intuition and insight gained from this movement technique, Chu Kuang weaved and fought within the tiger pack. Each intense clash made Chu Kuang feel his movement technique improving further.

Finally, after completely evading the Tiger King's attack and simultaneously breaking free from the encirclement of the four Sabertooth Tigers, Chu Kuang suddenly felt the world transform.

The speed of the five Sabertooth Tigers seemed to have slowed considerably in his eyes. Their claws, which were previously as fast as lightning, now seemed mediocre.

It was an indescribable combat intuition that inexplicably gave Chu Kuang a surge of confidence.

"Roar—"

Just then, the Sabertooth Tigers pounced again, a monstrous stench of blood washing over him.

Chu Kuang's steps suddenly steadied. He flipped his spear and swept it out, like a black dragon's tail, its tip drawing a cold glint. At an unbelievable angle, it sliced through the tiger pack, cutting the throat of one Sabertooth Tiger.

"Pfft—"

As hot tiger blood splattered onto the second tiger's face, the war spear had already flipped over before it could react, instantly impaling it in mid-air.

At this moment, the third giant tiger roared and bit down on the spear shaft, creating an opportunity for the Tiger King to defeat Chu Kuang.

But facing the lunging Tiger King, Chu Kuang casually swung his war spear, lifting the giant tiger and smashing it into the oncoming Tiger King.

"Boom—"

"Is this the combat intuition brought by the Great Accomplishment of Blood Battle in All Directions?"

Chu Kuang muttered to himself. Holding his war spear like a golden dragon, he shot forward. With two muffled thuds, the throats of two Sabertooth Tigers were simultaneously pierced. Blood gushed out as they convulsed on the ground.

This move, 'Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon,' possessed the power to break through a thousand armies. It was precisely a supreme technique mastered after achieving Great Accomplishment in Thousand Jun Formation Breaker.

In the blink of an eye, four of the five great Sabertooth Tigers had fallen. The last Tiger King showed a trace of terror in its eyes. It crouched low, baring its fangs and growling, its killing intent almost solidifying.

"I'll send you to your demise."

Chu Kuang spoke calmly, pushing his Iron Armor Technique to its limit. Then he stomped forward, cracking the ground as his ten-foot War Spear shot out like lightning!

The Tiger King roared and dodged, the spear tip only leaving a bloody gash on its shoulder blade.

It turned and swept its iron tail, but Chu Kuang easily dodged it. Enraged, it lunged again, its fangs aimed directly at Chu Kuang's head!

However, Chu Kuang had already seen through its attack. He slammed his war spear into the ground, lifted his foot, and kicked it flying. Then, pressing down on the shaft of his weapon, he launched himself forward along with the war spear.

"Pfft—"

This strike was as fast as lightning, aimed directly at the Tiger King's forehead. At the last moment, it turned to dodge, but the blade of the War Spear sliced off its sharp fangs.

Chu Kuang pressed his advantage, following up by smashing down with the rotating shaft of his War Spear. It immediately smashed the beast, causing blood to spurt from its nose and mouth, and cracking the ground.

Before the Tiger King could struggle to its feet, the blade of Chu Kuang's war spear already came down with a roar, the wide blade piercing the Tiger King's heart.

"Ch-chunk!"

After a crisp sound, the spearhead passed through its body. The Tiger King's fierce roar abruptly stopped. Its limbs twitched a few times before it lay completely still.

"Nothing more than this."

Having slain all five tigers, Chu Kuang sheathed his war spear, a slight smile curling his lips.
