"How is that even possible?"
Hearing Xiao Lin mention an offensive Soul Skill, Ye Lingling didn't believe it at all; she simply smiled and shook her head.
Their Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul had been passed down through almost every generation. It wasn't as if no one had ever tried to change it before. That being said, almost every inheritor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul harbored a heart that yearned to deal damage.
Ye Lingling was no exception.
Soon, the five members of the Emperor Team became fully focused.
The Ultimate Ice created by Xiao Lin was simply too attractive in this Mixed Zone of the Far North. In an instant, every Soul Beast around the Mysterious Ice Lake fixed its gaze on the block of ice in Xiao Lin's hand.
Even quite a few Soul Beasts from the bottom of the lake surfaced to stare at him.
The Frost Gale was no exception.
Its limited intelligence told it that as long as it absorbed the power of Ultimate Ice, it could break through to become a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. Of course, this was assuming the block of Ultimate Ice Xiao Lin had produced was real and not a facade.
Xiao Lin placed the ice block on the ground, then retreated more than a dozen meters with his companions, quietly waiting for the Soul Beasts to start fighting over it.
"How is it? Any sign of a Mysterious Underworld Snake-Tortoise?" Xiao Lin asked the group, having not spotted one himself.
"No."
The others shook their heads.
A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Shi brothers.
The Mysterious Underworld Snake-Tortoise was a Soul Beast truly suited for them; if it wasn't here, they would have to find a substitute. Soon, under the watchful eyes of the five, the Soul Beasts around the Mysterious Ice Lake began to guard against one another.
No one dared to be the first to snatch the block of Ultimate Ice. However, it wasn't long before an impatient Soul Beast appeared. It was a Snow Hidden Leopard with an age of approximately four thousand years.
It was said to be capable of turning invisible in snowy environments and possessed extreme speed. Under the gaze of Xiao Lin and the others, the Snow Hidden Leopard let out a long howl toward the sky, causing a light snow to begin falling around the Mysterious Ice Lake.
In the next second, the leopard's body vanished into the falling snow.
"No way!"
Xiao Lin watched, dumbfounded.
Were these Soul Beasts really that stupid, letting a low-cultivation Snow Hidden Leopard steal the treasure?
But in the next moment, the Soul Beasts all moved at once. First was the most numerous race around the lake: the Angry Sunny Blood Bulls. There were over a hundred of them, all with cultivation levels over a thousand years—they were an indisputable power in this area.
Xiao Lin recognized this species; it was said that when this race traveled in a herd, the sun would not appear for months.
Powerful blizzards were their trademark.
Clearly, this herd's strength wasn't quite at that level yet, as they hadn't completely obscured the aurora in the sky. However, sparked by the charge of the Angry Sunny Blood Bull herd, the other Soul Beasts swarmed forward as well.
They surged toward the spot where Xiao Lin had placed the ice block. Although these Soul Beasts couldn't see the Snow Hidden Leopard, they could all sense the aura of Ultimate Ice. If the leopard tried to take the ice away, it wouldn't be able to stay hidden.
If it didn't take the ice, then staying hidden was useless. It didn't take long for the pack of Soul Beasts to swarm the spot where Xiao Lin had dropped the ice block, initiating a violent free-for-all.
Currently, standing at the very center was a giant Soul Beast with a shoulder height of three meters and a standing height of five meters: the Frost Giant Spirit Bear. The Frost Giant Spirit Bear possessed a massive frame covered in thick, ice-blue fur.
Its eyes flickered with a chilling blue light, as if they could freeze anything within its line of sight. Its four limbs were exceptionally stout, and its claws were as sharp as ice blades—capable of easily tearing through thick layers of ice to find the fish-type Soul Beasts beneath.
Right now, it had just flipped the leader of the Angry Sunny Blood Bulls onto the ground with a single swipe. Its terrifying claws pierced the neck of the bull leader, instantly freezing its blood and even its brain.
"Roar!"
The Frost Giant Spirit Bear let out a furious roar, its powerful aura erupting instantly.
It turned out to be a Soul Beast with over ten thousand years of cultivation, and the fallen Angry Sunny Blood Bull leader had been a beast of at least seven thousand years.
The herd of Angry Sunny Blood Bulls scattered instantly, and other Soul Beasts fled in a frenzy, leaving behind only a few unwilling to give up the prize.
"Xiao Lin, what kind of Soul Beast is this?"
At this moment, Tang Ni had taken a liking to the terrifying strength of this Frost Giant Spirit Bear and asked out of curiosity. It wasn't just Tang Ni; the Shi brothers were also extremely interested in this beast.
Had it not already reached the ten-thousand-year mark, they likely would have tried to claim it.
"The Frost Giant Spirit Bear, a branch of the Ice Bear clan of the Far North and one of the most powerful predators in this region. This Soul Beast possesses not only terrifying strength but also the ability to enlarge its body and exert immense defensive power."
"Look at the ice crystal shields on its arms; those shields serve as both a potent attack and an ultimate defense."
"It's said that after being injured, this Soul Beast becomes incredibly berserk, and its body can double in size. I don't know for sure if that part is true or not."
As Xiao Lin's voice trailed off, a glint of excitement flashed in Tang Ni's eyes.
Although its attributes didn't perfectly match hers, she loved its Ultimate Strength, powerful defense, and enlargement capability. She was simply wondering if her constitution was strong enough to absorb a Strength-attribute Soul Ring that didn't have the highest affinity with her.
In the distance...
Due to the Frost Giant Spirit Bear's terrifying power, only four Soul Beasts remained on the field.
Aside from the Frost Gale, the other two were the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile—a sub-dragon species with ice-crystal scales from the bottom of the lake—and a two-headed Mysterious Underworld Water Snake.
Except for the Frost Gale, whose cultivation was relatively low, the other two beasts were no weaker than the Frost Giant Spirit Bear; both were ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.
"Damn it, there's no sign of a Mysterious Underworld Snake-Tortoise at all," Shi Mo complained.
It wasn't just the lack of a Mysterious Underworld Snake-Tortoise; the age of the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile—the most suitable beast present for them—had also reached ten thousand years.
The two brothers didn't dare to exceed their limits by that much and attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
"The Frost Gale can't even get a word in edgewise during the fight between those three. Let's strike it directly and lure it over here," Xiao Lin said, shaking his head.
While there was currently no suitable Soul Beast for the Shi brothers, they couldn't afford to waste the Frost Gale, which was a perfect fit for Ye Lingling.
"Alright, leave it to us."
The Shi brothers nodded solemnly.
They immediately initiated their Black Turtle Martial Soul Possession, their sturdy frames becoming even more robust.
"Third Soul Skill: Black Turtle Suction!"
The Shi brothers shared the exact same Soul Skill configuration.
They unleashed their third Soul Skill almost simultaneously.
As the purple Soul Rings beneath their feet flashed, a faint halo appeared around their bodies, which then expanded outward in every direction—until the halo captured the low-intelligence Frost Gale.
