Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 20: I'll Call You Ice Emperor (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

“We’ve been exploring all day and encountered thousands of Ice Jade Scorpions. We’ve practically run out of them on the outskirts. If this doesn’t work out, we’ll probably have to head to the heart of the far north tomorrow. The Ice Jade Scorpions there are generally over a thousand years old, and those that are a hundred years old are quite rare,” Yan Shaozhe said softly.

"..."

Su Wen nodded slightly.

Looking at the Ice Jade Scorpion with a potential of seven points in front of him, he rested his chin on his hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

One day.

Among the thousands of Ice Jade Scorpions that are hundreds of years old, the highest talent is only three points, and this one with seven points is already quite amazing.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Su Wen estimated that if this Ice Jade Scorpion didn't die unexpectedly, its future growth potential would be terrifying, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to become an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

The second Hyotei.

I'm really curious about how many attributes Hyotei has, but unfortunately, you can only find out by seeing them in person.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

He has no intention of going to the heartland to die for the time being. If Tianmeng Bingcan went to find Bingdi, that would be suicide. Does he really think that Bingdi's attitude towards Huo Gua in the original work applies to every human?
The title of the Heavenly King of the Far North, one of the Ten Ferocious Beasts.

They really can eat people.

Just like Sun Wukong, who was very kind on the journey to the West, making people forget that he was a man-eating demon in the Water Curtain Cave.

Facing the siege of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north.

Yan Shaozhe was able to escape, but he was definitely left behind as nourishment.

"This one will do."

Su Wen pointed to one of the trembling Ice Jade Scorpions, which was larger than its kind.

"it is good!"

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand.

The icy blue scorpion then landed in front of Su Wen.

As the yellow Poké Ball was thrown, a beam of light rose up.

The data panel of that Ice Jade Scorpion also changed.

【Icy Scorpion】

[Level: Level 21]

【Strength: 15.4 (2.0)】

Speed: 10.4 (2.4)

Endurance: 13.4 (2.4)

[Defense: 18.1 (5.1)]

[Skill: Ice Domain (Yellow)]

【Attribute: Ice (Ultimate)】

[Potential: 7 (Peerless)]

Next evolution stage: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion

The hurricane data panel also changed, jumping from level 20 to level 21.

However, the skill remained only Wind Blade and did not refresh.

Su Wen shook his head.

It looks like the skills won't be updated until at least the next stage.

His gaze fell on the icy blue scorpion, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that the next stage would be the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion; he thought it was the final stage.

He grinned mischievously, wondering what Hyotei's reaction would be if he saw a Hyotei who had undergone a super-evolution.

Looking at the numbers.

Looking at the value in parentheses, it's exactly like a hurricane.

It seems that the attribute points I gain through eating will be added equally to each of the soul beasts.

However, this skill, "Ice Domain," is marked by yellow to indicate its strength. Although it might be a relatively ordinary skill, it's still much stronger than a normal "Wind Blade." Looking at the little guy before him, who had suddenly become docile, his wide, emerald-green crystal eyes fixed on him...

"Um... I'll call you Ice Emperor then."

Su Wen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.

As the saying goes, "Kings never meet."

Calling it Hyotei would be too much of a rip-off, and Hyo-oh is too common; Hyo-oh is just right.

"..."

The Ice Emperor nodded, acknowledging the name Su Wenqi had chosen.

However, compared to Hurricane's mischievous and active nature, Ice Emperor's personality is more composed, even giving Su Wen a sense of social anxiety.

Only now did Su Wen take a closer look.

Its entire body is a bright green color, and its shell is like a piece of jade. It shines brightly under the sunlight. The scorpion's tail has many segments, revealing a mechanical and layered beauty. The stinger at the very top hangs high, and the pupil is similar in color to the shell.

It's about half a meter tall, but in terms of length, including its long scorpion tail, it's nearly two meters long. (Hyotei is only 1.5 meters tall; I'm trying to make it seem larger.)
"roar~"

Hurricane burst out of the Poké Ball, curiously examining Ice King.

Suddenly, he let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.

"Why is this guy's name so high-class? Isn't your name high-class enough?" Su Wen chuckled.

"Ice Emperor, use Ice Domain!"

"Buzz!"

The Ice Emperor remained silent, his entire body radiating a crystal-clear pale blue light that spread outwards in all directions from its center.

It forms an area with a diameter of approximately 100 meters.

In an instant, Su Wen felt as if his whole body was sinking into a quagmire, his blood was slowly freezing, the temperature plummeted, and the speed at which frost condensed increased dozens of times.

Domain-specific skills.

However, it cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and only those with the ultimate ice attribute can receive the amplification.

This is also Ice Scorpion's home turf.

The extreme ice attribute inherent in the domain amplifies the power of this ordinary skill several times over.

It's a pity that these aren't offensive skills; they'd be great as support skills.

Hopefully, after reaching level 30, the Ice Emperor will gain a primary offensive skill.

That means we've secured our position in the early stages.

The Ice Emperor boasts incredible defense and strength, making it a powerful offensive character. With Hurricane for mobility and support, it can be positioned as an agile assassin. Once it reaches level 30, it can be paired with a healer for buffs or a control-type plant spirit beast.

Even a simple team can be formed.

"roar~"

The hurricane retreated a few steps, seemingly shrinking back. Although the Ice Emperor was less than half its height, its extreme cold aura was awe-inspiring.

This is the oppressive feeling of extreme attributes.

However, the chill in his body quickly subsided.

Having captured the Ice Queen, his resistance to cold also increased rapidly. Within the ice domain, all of his physical stats soared: reflexes, strength, speed, and even the recovery speed of his soul power.

"Okay, put it away."

Su Wen nodded to the Ice Emperor.

Hurricane's agility was reduced to its lowest in the icy realm, making it move no differently from an ordinary wind baboon. Its face was covered in frost and ice crystals, and it was already shivering from the cold. In a little while, it would probably turn into an ice sculpture.

"Su Wen! You obtained a spirit ring?"

Ning Tian ran over from a distance.

She wiped her pale, frozen face, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

Although children of this age are somewhat shrewd, they are not. Compared to Ning Tian, ​​who was twelve years old in the original story and single-mindedly devoted to revitalizing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she now has more of a childlike, innocent blessing and genuine joy for the new friendship she has made.

P.S.: The previous numerical panel calculation was wrong. The unit of 1 was 100 years. The hurricane strength is approaching 1000 years. The overall value should be multiplied by 100 compared to the initial 10 years. I have corrected it.

By the way, I'm collecting soul beast illustrations for the protagonist's future pet beasts. If any authors are interested in participating, please post your chapters or comments in this section. You can design soul beasts that exist in the original work or create your own. A complete evolution chain is even better. I'll keep an eye on this!
