【Soul: 12】

【Ability: Condensing Ice Technique】

【Overall Combat Power: 76~102】

From the panel, this male lion's strength is not weak.

It can be said that Chen Mo has encountered the strongest supernatural being so far.

Obviously, after awakening, this Frost Lion has also hunted many supernatural beings, devoured much of their flesh, and expanded its territory to an exaggerated extent.

However, it still has a large gap compared to Chen Mo, whose overall combat power exceeds 200.

Soon, the white-furred Frost Lion stopped at a place over 100 meters away from Chen Mo.

After evolving into a supernatural being, the Frost Lion's heightened danger sense and intelligence prevented it from acting rashly.

Although the white-furred young lion opposite looks like a cub, its size is extremely exaggerated.

Its shoulder height is nearly two meters, and its body length is nearly four meters!!

It is even larger by a whole notch! Moreover, on this young lion's body, it actually felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and threat!

Since the Frost Lion swallowed a mysterious ice fruit over a month ago and awakened its supernatural power, it has never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

Roar! (Get out of here!) A deep, resonant roar sounded.

After awakening its supernatural power, the Frost Lion can naturally communicate simply in Lion Language.

It now only wants to drive this foreign lion out of its territory.

Because it lacks certainty of victory, it dare not lightly attack the lion king that appears as a young lion before it! The opposing lion king gave no reply.

However, this is already the best answer.

Seeing the opposing lion king completely ignore it, the Frost Lion couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

It felt it had lost all face before the lioness!

To defend its territory and uphold its dignity, it ultimately launched a charge at Chen Mo.

"Roar!"

The Frost Lion leapt high, its lion claws bearing a thousand-jin force, and fiercely slapped at the Ice Frost Young Lion.

Although it had become supernatural, its fighting style hadn't changed! Yet the strike that should have been certain to hit was casually dodged by the Ice Frost Young Lion.

This Ice Frost Young Lion actually burst forth with speed utterly mismatched to its huge size!

Shortly after, before the Frost Lion could react, it suddenly felt a tremendous force strike its back!

At the moment the Frost Lion attacked, Chen Mo entered the 【Furious Rush Form】; the instant his dodge was complete, he appeared behind the Frost Lion, gathered ice energy in his forepaw, and struck heavily.

Dodge, leap, swipe— the whole motion flowed seamlessly.

The tremendous force directly sent the Frost Lion flying, rolling several times across the snow.

Roar! Seeing her lion king husband at a disadvantage, most of the lionesses in the Frost Lion's pride let out angry roars and, in unison, charged forward to help.

They prepared to surround and attack the opposing lion king.

These lionesses are the Frost Lion's "original mates"; most have borne cubs with the lion king.

To protect their cubs, they naturally did not want their lion king husband to lose. Roar! Aisha and several other lionesses let out angry roars and likewise lunged forward.

Only seen, Aisha charged at a lioness, directly sent her flying; frost appeared on her claws, and she then heavily wounded another lioness.

Aisha is now in a stage where her size, strength, speed, etc., have greatly increased.

Under the effect of the 【Gluttonous Lion】, in just four days its size grew by a notch, now hardly differing from an adult lioness.

Over these two days, the pride's encountered medium-to-large prey were all hunted alone by Aisha.

From her initial clumsiness causing prey to escape to later ease of handling, Aisha's growth speed is astonishing.

Even ordinary low-tier supernatural beings are no match for it now.

Meanwhile, before the Frost Lion could recover, the Ice Frost Young Lion's attacks came in succession, its sharp claws flashing with blue light.

The Frost Lion hastily activated the ability it gained upon awakening—Condensing Ice Technique.

A row of half-meter-high ice spikes spread around it; if the opposing lion king dared to pounce, it would surely be gutted! Yet the next second, a powerful ice storm centered on it surged violently, the savage icy wind directly shredding the ice spikes! To quickly subdue the Frost Lion, Chen Mo for the first time unleashed the Ice Storm at full power, consuming a full ten strands of ice spiritual energy! Bang! Chen Mo pounced the Frost Lion to the ground, pressed it down with absolute force, and then let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!" (Submit, or die!)

Feeling the overwhelming power that crushed it completely, the Frost Lion sensed the aura of death for the first time.

"Roar!"

It knew that if it dared to continue resisting, the lion king before it would unhesitatingly bite its throat—just as it had previously dealt with other supernatural beings.

Finally, the Frost Lion let out a low growl and still chose to submit.

With its spiritual awareness just awakened and possessing intelligence, it desired to survive more than other creatures.

Accompanying the Frost Lion's submission cry, the lionesses' resistance also ended.

They stood before their cubs, gazing at Chen Mo with fearful eyes.

As the defeated lion pride, by custom their cubs would be slain! Yet the new lion king merely glanced at them, then released the paw that had been pressing down on the Frost Lion.

The Frost Lion hastily rose to its feet and then instinctively stepped back a few paces.

It looked toward the Ice Frost Young Lion, its eyes filled with fear.

Finally, it lowered its head, awaiting judgment from the Ice Frost Young Lion.

Will it be driven away? Or exterminated? "Roar!" (You may continue to stay in this territory, and I will not harm your mate and cubs. In exchange, you must hunt one supernatural being for me every two days.)

Chen Mo let out a low roar.

He didn't want to kill this frost lion; instead, he wanted to recruit it.

The ice-element spiritual power here is abundant; Chen Mo plans to stay for a while, so naturally he needs to establish his own territory.

But with him and his current lion pride, they cannot manage too large a territory; the best solution is to expand the lion pride.

Seize other lion kings' territories and make them work for him! This is also why Chen Mo, knowing this is other lion kings' territory, is unwilling to leave.

And another reason he doesn't want to kill this frost lion is—Chen Mo doesn't want to eat the flesh of his own kind.

Even though doing so would increase his strength.

"Roar?"

Hearing Chen Mo's response, the frost lion felt incredulous—the lion king before it was so magnanimous!? Seeing that the frost lion cub indeed had no killing intent toward it, it again expressed submission and gratitude.

"Roar!" (King, thank you for your mercy.) "Roar?" (You don't have a name yet? From now on you'll be called Xiongba.) Looking at the frost lion's imposing appearance, Chen Mo casually gave it a name.

"Roar!"

The frost lion nodded; although it didn't understand what the name meant at the moment, it inexplicably felt the name seemed. still pretty cool.
