Chapter 13: Frost Young Lion (Seeking Continuation)

Just as Chen Mo thought it was over, the ice spiritual energy inside the small ice pill suddenly erupted again, surging toward his limbs and bones like a flood! A sharp sting spread through his entire body.

Under the influence of this ice transcendent energy, Chen Mo felt his bones, flesh, hair, cells, even his genes undergoing an earth‑shaking transformation!

The intense pain lasted about ten minutes.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Mo found the world before him seemed somewhat different.

Besides being clearer and farther‑reaching, Chen Mo also saw tiny blue specks drifting in the air.

It was… ice spiritual aura? As he breathed, the ice pill inside his body "breathed" at a special frequency, and the drifting specks slowly approached his body, were captured, and merged into the ice pill.

Unfortunately, the ice spiritual aura drifting in the air was far too weak; even if tens of thousands of points gathered, they probably couldn't condense into a complete ice spiritual energy.

Chen Mo's thoughts shifted, and his relevant data slowly surfaced—

【Frost Young Lion (Male)】

【Rank: Low‑grade Transcendent】

【Constitution: 13→18】

【Agility: 16→20】

【Strength: 12→17】

【Spirit: 8→16】

【Ability: Ice Storm】

【Combat Power: 104~180】

His own species had already changed.

Strength, agility, constitution and other attributes had surged dramatically, and combat power nearly doubled! Chen Mo felt his current state was unprecedentedly good.

He realized that the ice‑horn antelope earlier must have also swallowed that small ice energy crystal, allowing it to evolve into a transcendent creature.

However, the ice‑horn antelope did not fully digest the energy inside, so no ice pill formed in its body, and its combat power was not very high.

"Awo~"

The lionesses, seeing Chen Mo's changes, were also somewhat incredulous.

Chen Mo's originally golden fur had turned snow‑white, his brownish pupils became ice‑blue, and moreover, between the lion king's mane, crystal‑like substances had sprouted!

These ice crystals were actually the embryonic form of scales, and for now they served only as decoration, making Chen Mo appear more regal.

Just as Chen Mo completed the ice pill condensation, a gray‑black box of Self‑Discipline Challenges appeared before his eyes again, with lines of text inside—

【Completed 5 Self‑Discipline Challenges】

【Rank reached Low‑grade Transcendent】

【Condensed Demon Pill】

【Conditions Met】

【Self‑Discipline Sharing Function Unlocked】

【You can broadcast a Self‑Discipline Challenge (white) you have completed to other creatures】

【When that creature completes the Self‑Discipline Challenge, its effect gains +10%】

【Currently acceptible Self‑Discipline Challenge creatures: 1】

【Acceptible Self‑Discipline Challenges: 1】

"I can't believe I can share Self‑Discipline Challenges!"

Earlier, Chen Mo had thought that it would be great if he could share some of the abilities gained from Self‑Discipline Challenges with other creatures.

After all, the lion sisters were far too weak.

Moreover, as time passed, the gap between Chen Mo and the other lions in the pride would only widen, and the pride's help to him would diminish.

He didn't expect that after this transcendent promotion, he would actually obtain a similar ability.

Unfortunately, there was only one possible recipient at present, and Chen Mo already had his lion pick in mind. He hesitated little before sharing the Self‑Discipline Challenge with the lion sister.

The Shared Self‑Discipline Challenge was—【Gluttonous Lion】.

【Gluttonous Lion】 can make the lion sister grow rapidly, greatly boosting her constitution, strength, and other aspects.

Only those with a strong physique, after using an ice energy crystal, have higher survival and awakening success rates.

Chen Mo didn't know how many creatures like the ice‑horn antelope still roamed this grassland, but if he could obtain more transcendent crystals in the future, perhaps he could help the lion sister achieve awakening!

Now, naturally, he would lay the best foundation possible for the lion sister.

Besides the overall physical improvement, Chen Mo discovered he had also awakened a skill‑like ability—Ice Storm.

He could manipulate the ice spiritual energy within his body to create a small ice vortex.

Chen Mo tested the new ability 【Ice Storm】 on the spot; its power was far smaller than he imagined, the ice storm it generated was less than one meter in diameter, and its release speed, movement speed, and lethality were all mediocre, seeming suitable only for ambushes.

Of course, this might also be due to Chen Mo's excessive frugality.

Ice spiritual energy is too precious; Chen Mo's release of 【Ice Storm】 used only a single strand of ice spiritual energy.

Even so, he still felt a bit sorry.

If he used more ice spiritual energy to release "Ice Storm", it should cause greater damage.

Yet the next second, a flash of delight flickered in Chen Mo's ice‑blue lion eyes.

After consuming a strand of ice spiritual energy, the drifting ice spiritual energy around him swarmed toward him, and the ice pill inside his body captured these energies at an astonishing speed, replenishing the recent consumption.

Just as airflow moves from high to low pressure, after releasing the ice gaze, the ice pill entered a "low‑pressure" state, and external transcendent energy rushed in rapidly until balance was restored.

Chen Mo roughly estimated that a strand of ice spiritual energy would recover in about ten minutes! — the next morning.

Chen Mo awoke from his sleep and found the surrounding temperature had dropped another few, even dozens of degrees.

For unknown reasons, the temperature of this grassland had been dropping sharply lately.

The climate was extremely abnormal.

Chen Mo planned to take a shower first and complete the 【Clean Lion】 Self‑Discipline Challenge.

Just as he tried to get up, he found Ai Sha leaning against him, her two front paws tightly hugging his body.

From their size, they seemed not to be lion siblings, but the lion king's father and his daughter.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and after falling asleep yesterday, Ai Sha unknowingly drifted to Chen Mo's side, wanting to huddle for warmth.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, the other four lionesses also curled up tightly together, keeping each other warm.

The little black panther curled up in the embrace of the lioness he had just recognized as his 'dry mother'.

That lioness had already taken him completely as her own child, being especially tolerant and loving toward the little black panther.

She not only nursed him daily, but whenever danger might arise, the lioness shielded the little black panther in front of her.

After carefully pushing Ai Sha's two lion paws aside, Chen Mo set off.

Besides taking a bath, he wanted to wander around the nearby area to see if he could encounter another extraordinary creature like the ice‑horn antelope.

Although Chen Mo's departure was very quiet, it still startled Ai Sha and the four lionesses.

Seeing the lion king set out to hunt early in the morning, the lionesses and Ai Sha couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed.

In other lion prides, it is the lionesses who go out to hunt.

Male lions, however, must constantly maintain their stamina; their duty is to guard the territory and drive away intruders.

Howl~

So, before long, aside from one lioness guarding Ai Sha and the little black panther, the other three lionesses also set out to hunt.

Ai Sha wanted to join the lionesses in hunting, but Shi Ma forcibly pushed her back.

In Shi Ma's view, Chen Mo is the lion king, but Ai Sha is still just a child.
