Chapter 17: Fight to Death in Beast forest

Alex searched for some time and eventually stumbled upon a first-order red bear beast. Red bears were well-known for their striking red eyes which had the power to affect their opponent's mind and induce feelings of depression, leaving them vulnerable to attack from the bear's sharp claws.

As Alex cautiously approached the bear, he accidentally stepped on a branch, causing a loud noise that instantly alerted the bear. The ferocious animal charged toward Alex, intent on attacking him. In a desperate attempt to defend himself, Alex raised his hands, but the bear's claws struck him with tremendous force, sending him flying five meters into a nearby tree. He fell to the ground, slowly getting up, but the bear was quick to strike again, hitting him in the stomach and sending him flying once more. Alex was now writhing in agony as he struggled to cope with the heavy pain in his stomach and the bloodied wounds on his hands.

As the bear charged towards him once more, Alex frantically moved to the side, narrowly dodging the attack. However, the bear was quick to react, using its powerful head to knock Alex to the ground once again.

Unbeknownst to Alex, a figure was watching him from high up in the sky as he valiantly battled the fearsome red bear. With a sense of disdain, the figure murmured to herself, "Young people these days tend to overestimate themselves."

As the bear closed in on Alex, poised to strike with its lethal claws, the figure was ready to swoop in and lend a helping hand. But to her surprise, Alex reacted swiftly and gathered his world energy into his feet, delivering a powerful blow that sent the bear flying a whopping ten meters away.

Catching his breath, Alex got up and made a break for it, with the bear hot on his heels. As he racked his brain for an escape plan, his luck finally ran out, and the bear pounced on him from behind, viciously clawing at him and knocking him to the ground.

With the bear relentlessly attacking him, Alex raised his hands in self-defense. But the bear was not letting up, continuing to scratch at Alex's hands with its sharp claws. Refusing to give up, Alex concentrated his world energy into his hands, creating a protective shield that kept the bear's attacks at bay.

Summoning his elemental energy, Alex focused his mind on his hands, and soon flames burst forth, engulfing his fists in a blazing inferno. With his newfound power, he unleashed a devastating punch to the bear's head, obliterating it into a thousand pieces.

As Alex stood there, catching his breath after his fight with the red bear, a figure watched from high in the sky, stunned by the display of power. The young man not only possessed cultivation energy but also wielded elemental energy with skill and ease.

But before he could revel in his victory, Alex heard a loud roar and turned to see a 3rd ordered beast, a white tiger, staring at him. In a flash, the tiger started leaping between trees at super speed, attacking Alex with razor-sharp claws and leaving him with deep wounds all over his body.

The figure in the sky was about to intervene, but then she noticed that Alex was now using two different elemental energies. With one hand, he produced a powerful wind element, and with the other, he conjured a blazing fire element. Drawing on his knowledge of his previous world earth, he increased the temperature of the fire by adding oxygen, intensifying its destructive power. Despite the ferocity of the white tiger's attacks, Alex refused to give up. He focused his mind on his elemental energies, using them to protect himself and launch counter-attacks.

Alex concentrated the wind and fire elements in his hands and began to increase the temperature of the fire using the oxygen in the air. As the white tiger lunged towards him, Alex jumped back and punched the air with his fists, unleashing a massive blast of fire and wind that sent the tiger flying backward.

The force of the blast was so powerful that it created a shockwave that shook the trees around them. Alex stood there, panting heavily, as he watched the tiger struggle to get back on its feet. He knew that he couldn't let his guard down, so he concentrated once again, summoning more wind and fire elements into his hands.

The white tiger charged towards him again, but this time, Alex was ready. He punched the air once more, creating an even more massive blast of fire and wind that engulfed the tiger completely. The beast roared in agony as it was consumed by the flames and thrown back by the force of the blast and died.

As Alex began to lose consciousness, he felt a sharp pain throughout his entire body. The bear and the white tiger had both inflicted serious injuries on him, and he had pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion by using all of his world energy and elemental energy. He stumbled forward, trying to keep himself upright, but it was no use. He collapsed to the ground, his vision going dark as he braced for impact.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, a hand caught him. It was a woman's hand, soft and gentle, but surprisingly strong. The woman lifted him up effortlessly and held him close as if trying to shield him from harm. "Young man," she said in a soothing voice, "you have impressed me with your display of power. You need to rest now. Leave everything to me."

Alex felt a sense of relief wash over him as he heard those words. He had been fighting for so long that it felt like an eternity since he had last slept. He closed his eyes and let himself drift away into a peaceful slumber, grateful for the stranger's help.
