'I can't feel shit,' Kyle thought as he looked in the direction Warp Space indicated.
Warp Space summoned some kind of long staff and readied herself.
"This beast isn't weak. It might serve as a True Battle for one of us," she transmitted.
Kyle's eyes shone.
He needed a True Battle!
"I want it," he said.
Warp Space looked at Swamp Dragon, who just furrowed his brows.
"Fine, you can have it," he said as he stepped closer to Warp Space.
"Thanks," Kyle said with a grin.
At that moment, he felt some vibrations coming from the ground.
Sure enough, something was approaching.
That was also when Kyle's instincts warned him.
Something was approaching, and it was…
Kyle furrowed his brows.
He wanted to change his decision, but the thing was already approaching, and there wouldn't be enough time to plan.
'Yeah, well. Maybe I get something out of this.'
The next moment, Kyle's body expanded rapidly.
Within an instant, he was as big as the surrounding trees.
That was when he saw it in the distance.
A humongous panther with six limbs.
In fact, it was still bigger than the current Kyle.
Kyle just smirked as he grew even bigger, doubling his size once again.
Warp Space's eyes shone when she saw how easily Kyle grew to a size of over two kilometers.
Meanwhile, Swamp Dragon furrowed his brow.
The ease with which Kyle grew to such a size meant that he had to know some Fragments of the Body.
Most likely, this meant that Kyle was not a new Fulfilled Transcendent.
The panther noticed its opponent and immediately charged at him.
Several of the trees were ripped apart as it charged towards Kyle.
Luckily, the trees were quite powerful, and they could quickly recover their bodies.
It would just take a couple of minutes for them to regrow their entire bodies.
As long as their roots were not destroyed, they would not die.
That also explained how there were still so many trees, even though this planet probably went through a constant barrage of beast fights.
While Kyle knew the levels of the beasts, he couldn't really estimate what level this beast was.
Most likely, it was somewhere between the First and Fourth Level, but he really didn't know which.
As the humongous panther approached, shadows gathered around it, and its body became transparent.
Its speed shot through the roof, reaching speeds of 100 kilometers per second.
This thing was as fast as Kyle's maximum speed.
BANG!
Kyle also exploded forward, the earth below him exploding.
The trees around him were broken and thrown into the distance as a cloud of blood-red mist gathered around Kyle.
The panther reached Kyle almost immediately and jumped at him.
Kyle's feet rammed into the ground, and his Energy was thrown into chaos as he did his best to stop his forward momentum.
At that moment, he also activated his actual Momentum, and the panther's body froze for just a tiny moment under shock while still flying towards him.
Kyle's hammer moved forward, its surroundings turning red.
The panther couldn't stop its jump anymore, and it entered the swing.
Kyle gritted his teeth as his entire body bulged.
The swing left the long crater behind as it moved upward.
The hammer hit the panther's jaw, and several things happened.
First, an incredible freezing power entered the panther's jaw, freezing its bones and turning them brittle.
Then, the hammer properly hit it.
CRACK!
The jaw broke into pieces, and the hammer pushed further into the head.
That was when the Yin-Metal showed its power, repeating the force of the strike.
BANG!
The panther's head exploded into a shower of gore, bathing the surrounding kilometers in blood and brain.
The headless corpse flew over Kyle, who had already crouched.
Naturally, the panther died immediately, and its corpse just rolled for a while longer.
Kyle put his hammer over his shoulder and looked at his two teammates.
"That was not a True Battle," he said.
Warp Space slightly narrowed her eyes in thought, while Swamp Dragon took a deep breath through his nose.
While Kyle didn't have a lot of experience with deducing a beast's level, these two did.
That was a Level Three Primal Beast.
Level One Primal Beasts were already no joke. After all, the power of beast bodies was nothing to scoff at.
While humans had a huge advantage in terms of Laws and techniques, beasts only had their bodies.
And their bodies were not weak.
A Level Three Primal Beast had a body on the level of a Fused Primal.
A Fused Primal needed to unlock eight Clusters and comprehend the Law of Body.
Having unlocked eight Clusters essentially meant being on the Ninth Level in the Primal Realm since the first level represented zero unlocked Clusters.
A Level Three Primal Beast had the physical power of a Level Nine Primal. One had to remember that this panther managed to move at these insane speeds by only using its physical body while subject to the intense gravity of this planet.
Most likely, Kyle's top speed would only reach a quarter of what it could usually reach.
That was why it was so crazy that Kyle had killed this panther in a single strike.
Its defenses should be substantial.
Even if someone focused entirely on offense, at most, its jaw should have broken.
Yet, Kyle had completely killed it.
Swamp Dragon realized that Kyle was not just not a new Fulfilled Transcendent but one who had been a Fulfilled Transcendent for a long time.
Kyle was already well on his way to becoming a Unique Transcendent.
Meanwhile, Warp Space's guess was confirmed.
When she had seen the Yin-Fire Kyle had used during the initial assessment, she had guessed that Kyle was not a new Fulfilled Transcendent.
That was why she had interacted with him a couple of times.
After all, there was a high chance that they would both be going to the Star Seeking.
However, Kyle's power was still greater than she had anticipated.
While the three of them recovered from what had happened, Kyle and Warp Space both looked in the same direction.
"Yeah, I can see it," Kyle said before Warp Space could say anything.
Being this huge and being able to look over the treetops had some advantages.
One of them was being able to see the other beasts.
And when Kyle saw this beast, his instincts warned him.
This thing was ACTUALLY dangerous.
