Chapter 57 - The Ice Queen's Interface
The reason why he didn’t go straight to the Main Road’s Fourth Stage…
One, the terrain is vast. If a battle were to break out, most players would definitely see what he’s up to.
Two, the Ice Queen, who is now at level 17, is no match against the fourth stage’s level 25 Boss, the Inferno Sword Fiend.
Even if he could defeat the monsters after advancing a few levels, the battle would not end immediately.
Once finished, if the other players heard the commotion and rushed over, it would be very troublesome.
Which is why…
He decided that the Rocky Highlands would be a perfect spot to train.
There were no overly powerful monsters here. Neither he nor the Ice Queen would be caught up by strong enemies, and they could escape at any time.
Ling Yi stood there, lost in thought, before finally making his mind.
“If they dare to chase me, then I’ll simply kill them all,”
Only by getting rid of this group of players who are looking for him would he be able to get rid of them once and for all.
Running away would not solve the problem.
While he was thinking, the Fire Elementals and Blazing Butterflies on this land noticed his presence and rushed towards him.
Feeling the rapidly rising temperature in the air, Ling Yi raised his head. He quickly dodged the few spurts of flames from the Fire Elementals with his super-high agility.
The Fire Elementals’ dazzling orange-yellow pillar of fire whizzed past him, burning away all the moisture in the air.
The air suddenly became much drier.
Ling Yi furrowed his brow and shouted, “Ice Emperor Summoned!”
His eyes quickly caught sight of the Blazing Butterfly flying out of the crack in the red soil.
Last time, he couldn’t kill them because of their “Fire Resurrection” skill.
Now that he had the Ice Queen, that would no longer be a problem.
When the cold air behind him spread out and froze the hot ground underneath his feet with a layer of frost, the beautiful girl with white hair, white eyes, and a blue dress slowly floated behind him.
Although her body was cold, Ling Yi, who was always afraid of freezing to death, didn’t feel much of the chill.
“Ice Queen.”
He had only said these two words, but the ice creature understood his meaning.
She waved her small white hand at the group of Fire Elementals and Blazing Butterflies in front of her, and a layer of hazy white mist about three stories high appeared out of thin air in front of the two, covering the monsters who were approaching them.
Wherever the white mist passed, the ice and snow quickly followed. The air and the ground were gray and white, creating an ice-sealed space.
The monsters in front of them were quickly frozen into ice sculptures without any struggle.
The Blazing Butterfly ice sculptures flying in the air fell one by one, letting out a series of clinking noises as they landed on the ice ground.
Then, the Ice Queen raised her hand and clenched her fist. In an instant, all the ice sculptures exploded!
It turned into countless tiny ice shards and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Ling Yi turned to look at the Ice Queen with awe.
There’s something he wanted to do from the start….
Check her stats!
He also wanted to see if he could copy her attributes!
If he could, his combat strength would definitely rise higher than before!
Ling Yi decisively activated his [Eyes of Truth].
The Ice Emperor was his summoned beast. Although she had the characteristics of a ” human”, as the master, Ling Yi had the right to check her attributes.
That would be too pretentious if he still asked her if she could see it.
Moreover, the creature didn’t seem to know how to speak, so asking was pointless.
The next second, a luxurious panel appeared in front of Ling Yi.
[Ice Queen (Lv17)]
[Gender: Female]
[Attributes: strength 255, mana 255, agility 255, endurance 255, physique 255 ]
[Skills: Ice Control, Ice Explosion, Icy Breath (Passive), Holy Shield of Extreme Frost, Ice Cloud Divine Art, Ice Jade Divine Body (Passive)]
[Items Equipped: None]
[Soul Weapon: None]
[Current Status: Healthy]
[Current Mood: Peaceful]
Just like before, he could not see the details of her skills, but Ling Yi was satisfied with just being able to see this interface.
“Why is her stats so high? She’s only level 17.” Ling Yi gazes greedily at the glaring ‘225’ points.
If he were to copy one of them, wouldn’t his attribute become a boss-level?
Nope.
Strictly speaking, it would be slightly higher than a boss of the same level.
After all, the Ice Queen was stronger than bosses of the same level. But added to his original attributes …
‘Well, I certainly wouldn’t say no to that!‘
“If I can duplicate it, I can copy whatever attributes need.”
If the description of a player’s skill didn’t state any restrictions, it meant there shouldn’t be any restrictions.
Players could use it at will.
If one’s mental strength were fast enough, it would not be a problem to use it hundreds of times in a minute.
[Attribute Duplication] was a skill that had no restrictions.
Therefore…
He would really be able to copy any of the Ice Queen’s attributes whenever he needed it.
So, if he needed more agility, he could just copy it.
When he needed more mana to kill monsters, he could just copy her mana attribute.
It might not change many things, but it would be enough to help him adapt to the situation.
Ling Yi took a deep breath as he thought of this. He shifted his heated gaze from the Ice Queen’s stats interface to her beautiful and otherworldly face.
“Hehehe.” He scratched his neck, somewhat embarrassed, “Little Ice, I’m going to do it.”
The Ice Queen, who was floating in the air, turned slightly and looked at him with her pure white eyes.
Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind. She looked at Ling Yi with a calm and peaceful gaze.
“Attribute Duplication!” Ling Yi first tried to copy her strength attribute.
And the next second….
Ping!
His heart suddenly beat violently!
Immediately, a tremendous amount of power, like water from the sky, violently poured into his body, making him feel numb all over.
With the infusion of power, his heart gradually became suffocated, and an urgent thought to quickly squander his physical strength emerged.
His hands were itching to fight an enemy for three days and three nights.
“This…”
Ling Yi furrowed his brows as he felt the power in his body that had nowhere to vent. He knew this was a symptom of his inability to adapt to the sudden increase in power.
His body would get used to it after some time.
However, before that…
He lowered his head to look at the crystal clear ice under his feet. He wanted to test the power of his current punch.
He raised his right hand high and punched the ice under his feet with all his strength!
BOOM!
In an instant, a huge boom spread across a radius of a thousand meters!
The ice under his feet shattered instantly, turning into countless ice shards scattered in all directions.
It was as if a heavy hammer had hit the surface of ice! The terrifying impact spread rapidly in all directions, shattering the ice within a twenty to thirty meters radius.
An invisible shock wave spread out from the ice surface, blowing all the ice-cold white mist 30 meters away.
The area within the range became a vacuum in the icy white mist!
The ground under Ling Yi’s feet sank a few dozen centimeters, and a noticeable fist mark could be seen in the center.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the power is not bad.” The pressure in his body was slightly lifted. The punch helped him release some of that excess build-up power.
Now, his body was getting used to this mighty strength.
When he copied the Ice Queen’s attribute again in the future, the same incident would not happen again.
Instead, it would be like his own attribute coming back home, and he could swing his arm as he wished.
