GA: Chapter 49 – The Power of Extreme Cold: Chen Bing
"Seize."
Bai Xuan placed his hand on the mutant male lion. A mysterious energy flowed through its body, and in an instant, the entire corpse withered, shriveled down like a piece of tanned hide. All of its energy condensed in Bai Xuan's palm, forming a blood-red orb.
Inside the orb, faintly, a rune resembling the mutant lion could be seen.
"This orb contains the entire energy of the mutant lion," Bai Xuan explained. "Absorbing it is equivalent to consuming the whole carcass and digesting it perfectly. If someone awakened with lion abilities were to absorb it, they might even develop a brand-new power."
This was Bai Xuan's new ability: to strip the power of mutant creatures. As for why it manifested as an orb, that was purely his preference. He could have formed it into a cube or any shape he liked.
When did this ability awaken? Perhaps it was more accurate to say he had always possessed it, only that he had never realized it before.
[Natural Authority] never names the abilities Bai Xuan inherently possesses. He must discover them one by one, through experimentation.
The idea for this "Seize" ability came to him after the nature reserve space ring was full. Bai Xuan thought: If I could condense their power into something portable… He tried, and it worked.
He had simply sensed that he could, and that was enough.
Ask him the principle behind it? He wouldn't be able to explain.
Everything felt instinctual.
There's that saying: as long as his imagination is sufficient, there is no limit to the powerful methods he can develop.
Shaking his head, he stored the blood orb and turned his gaze to the distance.
"It's about time you came out."
"I just wanted to see how you would deal with that mutant lion. Didn't expect you to master telekinesis as well. Is telekinesis part of nature, too? Or is your mental strength simply too great, since telekinesis is a manifestation of strong willpower?"
A tall, graceful woman appeared before him, clad in a navy uniform, her long blue hair swaying with every step.
If this world had the anime Akame ga Kill!, Bai Xuan might have thought she was mimicking Esdeath—not just her aura, but also the ice abilities.
And it wasn't the weak ice that Su Yue could muster—it was true Extreme Cold, possessing terrifying power from the moment of awakening, a genius on the same tier as Huoyou.
"I don't recall Huoyou saying you'd appear here, Chen Bing," Bai Xuan said calmly.
"Of course she didn't know. I didn't tell her," Chen Bing replied, arms crossed, her tone leisurely.
"I just heard that the mission was assigned to you, so I came. I'm curious about your strength."
"Child of Nature, wielding near-conceptual control over natural forces. From awakening, you tower above everyone else—a monster without equal."
"Not just me. Qin Tian, Chen Changsheng, Ye Feng… they've all been intrigued by you for a long time. If Huoyou hadn't repeatedly emphasized that our powers exist in a different dimension than yours—otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to lift a finger against you—there would already be challengers lining up."
"If nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Bai Xuan interrupted her. He had completed his mission; chatting here held no interest for him.
"Want to spar?"
Chen Bing blinked at his words, then smiled and said bluntly, "I want to see the gap between us."
"Wait until you have the right to use your abilities in front of me before saying that," Bai Xuan replied indifferently, passing by her.
Chen Bing frowned, unsure what he meant.
She tried to activate her abilities—but though she could sense the energy, she couldn't access it. It was as if something blocked her connection.
Only after Bai Xuan's silhouette fully disappeared did she reconnect with her powers.
"Even controlling someone else's abilities… There really are people capable of awakening such unreasonable powers in this world," she murmured.
"And that blood orb from the mutant lion's energy… Huoyou's evaluation of him wasn't exaggerated."
Yet even so, she wouldn't give up chasing him. Bai Xuan's starting point was tenfold, a hundredfold above theirs, but the stronger he was, the more stable his peak became, meaning the gap would gradually narrow.
The revival of spiritual qi was a global evolution. They wouldn't allow one person to remain at the forefront forever.
Chen Bing was powerful—Bai Xuan knew this.
Perhaps she couldn't freeze an entire ocean like Aokiji in One Piece, but on this very mountain, she could seal it in ice if she unleashed her full strength. Her power was steadily growing.
Soon, her mastery of Extreme Cold might rival Aokiji.
Still, Bai Xuan had no desire to engage her—or any creature, for that matter.
Sparring only made sense when the gap between two fighters was comparable. Even a small difference was acceptable.
Bai Xuan had long surpassed everyone—many might never reach his current strength in their entire lives.
Such a duel would be meaningless.
Especially here on Earth, where all natural forces amplified him. The entire environment worked in his favor.
Unless another person with authority emerged, he had no desire to fight.
His real opponents existed elsewhere: other worlds—Naruto, One Piece, Ultraman Tiga, Xiong Binglian, Dragon Ball, or even terrifying realms like Zhe Tian, Perfect World, Honghuang.
He didn't yet have the strength for those worlds, and no one in the chat group had joined.
But the future was unpredictable. Perhaps one day, someone would.
He looked forward to that new era.
Until then, all he needed was to continue cultivating, to store more energy, and grow faster.
For others, cultivation might be tedious. For Bai Xuan, it merely caused mild fatigue—the process was never boring or dull.
After all, while his body trained, his consciousness roamed freely in the chat group.
