The numbers in brackets matched Gale's perfectly.
Which meant the attribute boosts gained through dietary enhancement were being applied equally to every bonded soul beast.
As for the skill Ice Domain, the yellow designation likely represented its rank.
Even if it was considered a relatively common skill, it was leagues above Gale's ordinary Wind Blade.
Su Wen then looked at the now obedient little creature staring up at him with emerald, crystal-like eyes.
"…Alright," he said after a brief pause. "I'll call you Ice Sovereign."
Kings shouldn't meet kings.
Calling it Ice Empress would be tempting fate.
Ice King sounded tacky.
Ice Sovereign was just right.
"…."
Ice Sovereign nodded slightly, accepting the name.
Compared to Gale's lively and mischievous nature, Ice Sovereign was noticeably calmer....almost shy.
If Gale was hyperactive, Ice Sovereign felt borderline socially anxious.
Only now did Su Wen truly observe it.
Its entire body gleamed with jade-green brilliance, its shell resembling carved emerald, dazzling under sunlight.
Its segmented scorpion tail displayed a mechanical, layered beauty, the stinger raised high. Its pupils matched its shell in color.
Standing about half a meter tall, but with its long tail included, its total length reached nearly two meters.
(The Ice Empress herself is only about 1.5 meters tall—this one's been written a bit bigger.)
"Roar~"
Gale jumped out of its Poké-Ball, curiously circling Ice Sovereign.
Then it let out an annoyed growl.
"Why does its name sound so cool?" Su Wen chuckled. "Is your name not cool enough?"
"Ice Sovereign—activate Ice Domain."
Buzz—
Ice Sovereign remained silent.
A crystalline blue glow spread from its body, expanding outward in all directions.
A domain nearly one hundred meters in diameter formed instantly.
In that moment, Su Wen felt as though he'd sunk into a swamp.....his blood slowing, freezing. The temperature plummeted as frost formed at terrifying speed.
A domain-type skill.
Indiscriminate—friend and foe alike.
Only beings with Extreme Ice affinity received buffs.
This was Ice Jade Scorpion territory.
The extreme ice attribute amplified the skill's power severalfold.
It wasn't a main offensive ability.....but as support, it was exceptional.
Hopefully, once Ice Sovereign reached Level 30, it would unlock a primary attack skill.
That would stabilize the early game completely.
Ice Sovereign: high defense and strength—main attacker.
Gale: mobility and harassment—assassin / skirmisher.
Level 30 onward—add a healer or control-type plant soul beast.
A basic team composition would be complete.
"Roar…"
Gale backed away instinctively.
Despite Ice Sovereign being less than half its height, the sheer cold pressure was overwhelming.
This was the dominance of Extreme attributes.
The chill quickly faded.
After bonding with Ice Sovereign, Su Wen's resistance to cold skyrocketed.
Within the Ice Domain, all his physical stats surged....reaction speed, strength, agility, and even soul power recovery.
"Alright, that's enough."
Su Wen nodded.
Gale's agility was completely suppressed within the domain.....its movements slowed to those of an ordinary Wind Baboon.
Frost clung to its fur; it was already shivering violently. Any longer and it'd turn into an ice sculpture.
"Su Wen! Did you succeed?"
Ning Tian ran over from afar, her fair face pale from the cold but filled with excitement.
At this age, children had some composure—but not much.
Compared to the twelve-year-old Ning Tian who lived only for the revival of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the current Ning Tian was far more innocent.....genuinely happy for a newly made friend's achievement.
A few-hundred-year Ice Jade Scorpion, and you're this happy?"
Wu Feng followed behind Ning Tian, chin lifted high, her nostrils practically pointing at the sky, smugness written all over her face.
"..."
Su Wen glanced at her and chose not to respond.
That only made Wu Feng even more pleased. She raised her head higher and snorted.
"I'm already Level 15 now. As your senior, do you want me to give you some pointers?"
Elder Zhu's mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that Yan Shaozhe didn't intervene, he also chose to remain silent.
Wu Feng's talent, even within the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, was second only to the young sect master herself.
Among her peers, none could rival her. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to looking down on others.
Letting this true prodigy suffer a setback wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Are you sure?" Su Wen hesitated briefly.
