"We've spent a whole day and encountered over a thousand Ice Jade Scorpions—basically seen all the ones on the outskirts. If this batch doesn't work out, tomorrow we'll have to head for the core, where most are over a thousand years old and centuries-old ones are rare," Yan Shaozhe said softly.
"..."
Su Wen nodded slightly.
He looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion in front of him, with seven potential points, chin in hand, thinking.
A whole day.
Of thousands of century-old Ice Jade Scorpions, the most talented had only 3 points—this one with 7 was astonishing.
Really a once-in-a-lifeti chance.
Su Wen figured this Ice Jade Scorpion, if nothing happened, could have an incredible future, maybe even rival the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
A second Ice Empress.
He was curious about the Ice Empress's stats, but he'd have to see for himself.
He shook his head, pushing the thought aside.
He had no intention of risking his life in the core. Without the Skydream Iceworm, looking for the Ice Empress was suicide. Did he really think the original Ice Empress's attitude toward Huo Hang would apply to every human?
The Extre North's Kings, one of the Ten Great Beasts.
They really would eat people.
If the "Three Kings" of the Extre North attacked together...
Yan Shaozhe could escape, but Su Wen would be left as food for sure.
"This one, then."
Su Wen pointed at a slightly larger, shivering Ice Jade Scorpion in the group.
"Alright!"
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand.
That Ice Jade Scorpion landed in front of Su Wen.
With a toss of a yellow Pokéball, a light beam shot out.
The scorpion's data panel changed:
[Ice Jade Scorpion]
[Level: 21]
[Strength: 15.4 (2.0)]
[Speed: 10.4 (2.4)]
[Stamina: 13.4 (2.4)]
[Defense: 18.1 (5.1)]
[Skill: Ice Domain (Yellow)]
[Attribute: Ice (Ultimate)]
[Potential: 7 (Peerless)]
[Next Evolution: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion]
At the sa ti, Gale's data panel changed, from level 20 to 21, but the skill was still only "Wind Blade."
Su Wen shook his head.
Looks like the skill won't update until the next stage.
He looked at the new Ice Jade Scorpion, eyes filled with joy.
Didn't expect the next stage to be the Emperor Scorpion—he thought that was the final evolution.
He grinned mischievously. If the real Ice Empress saw a "super-evolved" version of itself, what would it think?
He examined the stats.
The values in parentheses were like Gale's—it seed stat gains from eating were evenly distributed to all soul beasts.
But this "Ice Domain" skill, with the yellow marking its strength, was stronger than the basic "Wind Blade."
He looked at the little guy in front of him—crystal green eyes staring at him obediently.
"Uh... I'll call you Ice Emperor."
Su Wen stroked his chin and smiled.
As the saying goes, "No two kings in one land."
Calling it Ice Emperor was better than copying the real Ice Empress, and Ice King was too ordinary.
"..."
Ice Emperor nodded, accepting the na.
Compared to the lively Gale, Ice Emperor was calr—almost socially anxious.
Only now did Su Wen take a good look.
Its whole body shimred green, its shell like jade, shining in the sunlight. The segnted tail looked chanical, topped with a high-hanging stinger. Its eyes matched its shell.
Height about half a ter, but with the long tail, nearly two ters long.
"Roar~"
Gale ca out of the Pokéball, curiously sizing up Ice Emperor.
Suddenly, Gale gave a dissatisfied growl.
"Why does this guy get such a cool na? Is your own na not cool enough?" Su Wen laughed.
"Ice Emperor, use Ice Domain!"
"Buzz!"
Ice Emperor silently unleashed a faint blue glow, spreading outward in all directions.
Soon, a field of about a hundred ters in diater ford.
Imdiately, Su Wen felt like he was sinking into a mire, his blood slowly freezing, temperature plumting, ice forming rapidly.
A domain-type skill.
But it didn't distinguish friend from foe—only those with "Ultimate Ice" could benefit.
This was the Ice Jade Scorpion's ho turf.
The domain's Ultimate Ice attribute multiplied the skill's power.
Unfortunately, it wasn't an offensive skill, but as support, it was very useful.
Hopefully at level 30, Ice Emperor would gain a main attack skill.
That would make the early phase stable.
Ice Emperor had strong defense and power, a main attacker. Gale was agile, an assassin-type. At level 30, maybe add a healer or control-type plant soul beast.
A simple team would be complete.
"Roar~"
Gale nervously backed away, even though Ice Emperor was only half his height. The chilling aura was intimidating.
This was the pressure of an ultimate attribute.
But the cold inside soon faded.
After capturing Ice Emperor, Su Wen's resistance to cold shot up. Within the Ice Domain, all his stats increased—reflexes, strength, speed, even soul power recovery.
"That's enough, take it back."
Su Wen nodded at Ice Emperor.
Gale's agility dropped to the minimum in the domain, moving no better than a normal Wind Baboon. Frost hung on his fur, and he was shivering—if it went on, he'd beco an ice statue.
"Su Wen! Did you get your soul ring?"
Ning Tian ca running over.
She wiped her pale face, full of curiosity.
At this age, the kids were still a bit naive. Unlike the original Ning Tian at twelve, determined to revive the clan, now she was more innocent, genuinely happy for a new friend's gain.
