Only after seeing his status window displaying his stats did Xie Feng finally let out a brief sigh before bursting out laughing. His laughter echoed throughout the frozen world like lightning in the middle of the night illuminating the dark sky.

His intelligence stat had skyrocketed to over seven hundred points and as a consequence his magic attack value skyrocketed to such heights that even his normal base physical attack value was lower! However, what really amazed and delighted Xie Feng the most was his current mana reserve.

​​

520,220 mana points! Such an amount was impossible for a player to possess; even in the late stages of the game it was definitely a big NO!

As if that wasn't enough, due to the 10% mana regeneration that the Ring of the God of Destruction gave him... This meant that the amount of mana per second that Xie Feng was regenerating with his current mana pool acting as a base was over 52,000 points!

A regeneration of 52,000 mana points per second! It was insane! With such regeneration, he could finally make use of the Ring of the God of Destruction's skills at will without fear of his mana reserves being drained the next second.

But the Pearl of Frozen Water not only boasted powerful stats and resistances... It also possessed powerful skills!

The passive skill God of the Seas increased the power of all ice or water type magic spells by 500%! That was incredible not only because of the overwhelming amount of burst, but also because it was a passive skill! It's always active, waiting for the right moment to show its terror to the world... This skill was enough to make any mage with water spells or NPCs lose their minds.

Because possessing the skill God of the Seas was the same as directly increasing one's attack power by a total of six times!

Increasing water resistance by 60% and nullifying all freezing effects, as well as being unaffected by cold in cold environments... These kinds of stats, if he didn't see them personally then he definitely wouldn't believe it if someone told him. Now, Xie Feng no longer had to fear freezing to death in this place and the coat he wore was no longer necessary.

Water Mirror was the skill that the Thousand Ice Cocatrix had but with slight differences; much more powerful! Although the skill said that only one attack could be reflected, the reality was very different depending on who the person using the skill was, depending on when the skill was activated... If Xie Feng activated this skill just when more than one attack was about to hit him, then all of these attacks would be reflected!

Of course, doing something like this was not that simple and only a person with analytical and reaction ability like Xie Feng could think of something so crazy.

One skill that really delighted Xie Feng was Holy Water Soul. With this skill, for ten seconds, Xie Feng could absorb all the damage from water-type spells as HP, recovering his own health! Furthermore, in cold environments, he could use the surrounding frost to recover his health at much higher speeds than normal!

Although it was a pity about the restrictions on water spells, with this skill, his survivability increased another great layer.

As for the final skill Ice Apocalypse... Xie Feng's heart was pounding as violently as a storm in the middle of the sea, unable to calm down in the slightest... This skill was, worthily, a forbidden spell.

Forbidden spells were so called because they had great limitations, they could not be cast casually and there were usually penalties for using them due to the immense power that the caster could deploy in a matter of seconds. In addition, these spells were so devastating to other players or NPCs that unless special situations happened they should not appear.

Ice Apocalypse was such a skill.

For 2 minutes, Xie Feng could freeze everything that was 5 kilometers around him... This was no different from creating a world of ice. The most terrifying thing was that during those two minutes, everyone affected by the Ice Apocalypse area would receive damage per second equivalent to Xie Feng's magic damage. Considering that his current magic damage was about 1600, this meant that all enemies within 5 kilometers around him would receive a total of 192,000 points of magic damage by the time 120 seconds had passed. Of course, this damage also depended on the enemy's water resistance.

But... Although Xie Feng's magic attack was 1600, that was only what his normal base stats showed; the reality was quite different!

The Ring of the God of Destruction increased all of Xie Feng's magic spells by 50%... If Xie Feng used Water Guide, the Elemetal System skill of the Ring of the God of Destruction, his forbidden water or ice-type spells would gain another 400% power boost... To top it off, the God of the Seas passive increased the power of his water-type spells by another 500%.

Knowing all this, how could Xie Feng not laugh out loud and feel exhilarated? He felt like he was dreaming right now!

In fact, the Pearl of Frozen Water was not in the slightest inferior to the Pearl of Light! Both were objects worthy of possessing the terrifying Saint rank!

But, a thought crossed Xie Feng's mind momentarily.... What if the Pearl of Earth possessed skills as powerful as the Pearl of Frozen Water? After all, at that moment Xie Feng did not touch the pearl since it was sealed in a strange box along with other objects... Maybe, just maybe, the Pearl of Earth was more powerful than Xie Feng thought!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Ling Long's gigantic body quickly began to contract and returned to her small size. Xie Feng's expression changed slightly, in the excitement of the moment, he had forgotten that Ling Long was suffering from the cold!

In a hurry he took off the special coat he had bought, surprising everyone. But to the surprise of his five companions, he was not taking the slightest damage due to the cold surroundings.

"What...?"

"What happened...?"

"He definitely got something incredible for defeating that giant monster..."

He ignored the murmurs of surprise behind him and ran towards Ling Long to put her inside the coat; however, his footsteps stopped abruptly before he could go much further.

Ling Long's small body was surrounded by a beautiful cyan-colored radiance, startling them all.

"Big brother Xie Feng, Ling Long!... She..." Xie Yao's worried voice reached his ears. But Xie Feng couldn't give her an answer, because he was just as scared as everyone else; he didn't have the slightest idea what was going on!

[Ding!... Ling Long's elemental power increases].

[Ding!... Ling Long's water resistance +30%].

[Ding!... Wind Resistance 100%... Light Resistance 30%... Water Resistance 30%...].

[Ding!... Three of the seven elemental resistances have exceeded the initial barrier].

Suddenly, Xie Feng noticed that Ling Long's beautiful deep black eyes quickly changed color, transforming into two beautiful deep blue enchanting eyes. Just by looking into her eyes, he felt his soul being drawn into a deep bottomless pool.

[Ding!... Your pet Ling Long evolves... Immortal grade pet → Heaven grade pet. Her attributes gain a big scale boost. Skill Calamity Claw advances to the next level → Annihilation Claw].

[Ding!... Ling Long has acquired skill: Aquatic Freedom].

!

Evolution!

Ling Long actually evolved!

Xie Feng felt his heart pumping in his chest as if it threatened to explode at any moment. To say he was surprised, happy, and scared, was an understatement to describe his current emotions!

Ling Long's evolution was not as simple as 1+1=2. Immortal grade and Heaven grade were two completely different ranks! Wanting to compare the Immortal and Heaven rank was no different than wanting to compare the pure white clouds up in the skies with the dirty mud that humans stepped in under their feet!
