Extreme Cold PowerChen Bing

"Deprivation."

Bai Xuan placed his hand on the Mutant Lion. A mysterious power flowed through its body until the entire carcass shriveled up like a piece of animal hide. All its energy converged into Bai Xuan's hand, condensing into a blood-red bead.

Inside the bead, the faint rune of the Mutant Lion was visible.

"This bead contains the entire energy of the Mutant Lion. Absorbing it is equivalent to consuming the whole carcass and digesting it perfectly. If someone who has awakened a lion-type Superpower absorbs it, they might even develop new abilities."

This was Bai Xuan's new ability: the power to deprive Mutant Creatures of their strength. As for why it took the form of a bead, he simply felt that a bead was more convenient; he could have condensed it into a cube if he had wanted to.

As for when this ability awakened, it was perhaps more accurate to say it was an ability he had possessed all along, only he hadn't known it until now.

[Nature Authority] did not list his abilities by name; he had to discover and test them one by one.

He realized he had the Deprivation ability after his Space Ring in the Nature Reserve became full. He had muttered that it would be convenient if he could condense their power into something portable, tried it, and succeeded.

He simply felt that he could do it, gave it a try, and it worked.

If you asked him for the principle behind it, he couldn't explain it.

Everything felt like instinct.

How did that saying go?

As long as he had enough imagination, he could develop countless powerful methods.

Shaking his head, he put away the blood bead and looked toward the distance.

"You've been watching for a long time. It's time to come out."

"I just wanted to see how you would handle that mutant lion. I didn't expect you to have mastered telekinesis as well. Is telekinesis also a part of nature?"

"Or perhaps your mental power is simply too strong. After all, telekinesis is just a manifestation of powerful mental energy."

A tall woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a naval uniform and sporting blue hair, appeared before Bai Xuan.

If the anime Akame ga Kill didn't exist in this world, he would have assumed she was imitating Esdeath. Not only was her temperament similar, but she also possessed the power of ice.

Her ice was not the weak, low-powered ice of Su Yue, but true Extreme Cold Power. She had possessed terrifying strength since the moment of her awakening, making her a genius on the same level as Huo Yu.

"I don't recall Huo Yu saying you would be here, Chen Bing."

Bai Xuan looked at her indifferently and spoke calmly.

"She certainly doesn't know I'm here, because I didn't tell her."

Chen Bing crossed her arms, her tone relaxed.

"I only came because I heard you were the one assigned to this mission."

"After all, I am quite curious about your strength."

"The Son of Nature, possessing the power to command nature in a way that is almost conceptual. A monster who stood above everyone else from the moment of awakening, invincible."

"It's not just me; Qin Tian, Chen Changsheng, and Ye Feng have also been interested in you for a long time."

"If Huo Yu hadn't repeatedly emphasized that our strength is not in the same dimension as yours—that she was crushed by you without even the ability to strike back—I'm afraid many others would have come to challenge you already."

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Bai Xuan interrupted Chen Bing, who wanted to continue. Having completed his mission, he had no interest in chatting with her.

"How about a spar?"

Chen Bing was stunned by Bai Xuan's words, then she smiled and spoke bluntly.

"I want to see the gap between us."

"Save that for when you're qualified to use your Superpower in front of me."

Bai Xuan said coldly, then walked past her.

Chen Bing frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.

Then, as if realizing something, she tried to use her Superpower. Although she could sense its existence, she found herself completely unable to manifest it.

It was as if something had blocked the connection between her and her power.

Only after his figure had completely departed did she regain her connection to her ability.

"To be able to suppress even my Superpower... is there really someone in this world who can awaken such an unreasonable ability?"

"And that blood bead he condensed from the mutant lion's energy..."

"Huo Yu's assessment of him was certainly not an exaggeration."

But even so, she would not give up on catching up. Bai Xuan's starting point was ten or a hundred times higher than theirs, but the stronger one became, the more rigid the bottlenecks grew, and the gap between them and Bai Xuan would eventually narrow.

Reiki Revival was a global evolution; they would not let one person stay at the forefront forever.

Chen Bing was very strong; Bai Xuan knew this well.

Perhaps she was far inferior to Aokiji from One Piece, who could freeze the entire ocean, but if it were just the forest where Bai Xuan stood, Chen Bing could freeze it entirely if she went all out. Her strength was also constantly increasing.

Perhaps before long, her development of the Extreme Cold Power would reach the level of Aokiji.

But even so, Bai Xuan had no desire to cross paths with her.

Or rather, he had no desire to cross hands with any living being.

Especially not with humans.

The point of sparring lies in the two parties being relatively matched in strength; even if there is a gap, it should not be too vast.

Bai Xuan had already surpassed everyone by far too much, to the point where many could not reach his current level of strength even if they spent their entire lives trying.

Such battles held no meaning whatsoever.

Especially since this was Earth, where he possessed enhancements in every aspect and the entirety of nature was assisting him.

Unless it was someone who also possessed authority, he truly had no desire to fight.

His opponents were not here, but in other worlds.

Naruto, Pirate, Tiga. Even Super Seminary, Dragon Ball, and those even more powerful, terrifying worlds like Shrouding the Heavens, Perfect World, and Prehistoric.

Of course, he did not have that kind of strength right now, nor had anyone from those worlds joined the Chat Group.

But the future is always full of variables.

Perhaps one day, someone will join, right?

He looked forward to the arrival of a new era.

Before that, what he needed was to cultivate continuously, allowing himself to contain more energy and grow stronger faster.

For others, cultivation was dull and tedious, but for Bai Xuan, it only brought some fatigue after exercise; the process was neither dull nor could it be linked to tediousness.

After all, although his body was exercising, his consciousness was in the Chat Group.

Dongfang Bubai: "So, we have one chance for a Lucky Draw?"

Ordinary Group Owner: "It's a newcomer benefit, gifted for free by the Chat Group, but if your luck isn't particularly good, you won't draw anything great; later on, draws will cost one thousand Points. If you listen to me, you should accumulate your Points and wait until more people join and the prize pool expands before drawing."
