So Bai Chuan hadn't been wrong to call the special power inside him Ice Essence.
Perhaps, if he put it in more fantastical terms, the Light Particles that had once poured into his body could be called the source of his Frost Power.
And the derivative of those Light Particles, "Ice Essence," was something born from that source for him to wield, much like magic or spiritual energy.
Thinking about it, Bai Chuan felt it really did sound quite similar.

However, Bai Chuan figured it was best to keep this power as a trump card for now and avoid using it whenever possible. Once he used it up, he needed much more energy to replenish it.
That was only the cost of using it on land. If he used it underwater—
Tsk. His recent attempt had nearly made him cry over how much energy it consumed.
Just think: water surrounded him on every side. On land, a single unit of Ice Essence could shoot out and freeze his prey. Underwater, it might take three or four units.
After all, the water absorbed the power as it traveled.
It looked spectacular, but the power was all leaking away.
