Its eyes held a wisp of eerie Evil Fire, serving perfectly as pupils, adding a touch of lifelike quality, dangerous yet alluring...
The miniature phoenix flew towards the distant mountains, gradually disappearing into the overlapping peaks. Even Lin Xiao could no longer see its trail, only able to sense its location through some kind of connection.
"Should be about right?"
To test the power of his improved Flame Burst Technique, Lin Xiao had poured most of his Soul Power into it, only then managing to create this little phoenix entirely composed of Ultimate Fire attribute Soul Power.
He figured its power would definitely be many times greater than when he had blown himself up before, so naturally, he sent it to a remote, uninhabited place far away from him before detonating it.
Estimating that it was about time, Lin Xiao began to control that wisp of Evil Fire, allowing its temperature to continuously rise until it reached its peak! Infinitely close to Ultimate Fire!
"Bang!"
A thunderclap out of nowhere! Because it was far away and blocked by the mountains, Lin Xiao only heard a bang, but it didn't sound as loud as when he had blown himself up before, so he naturally assumed the impact wasn't that great.
Li Bo, who was lying on a rocking chair, dozing, opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and wondered, "This damn weather even has thunder? Truly bizarre."
"Rumble~"
"Rumble~"
At this moment, continuous echoes came from the distant valley, the sound of boulders rolling down from the mountaintop, distant and lingering.
Li Bo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said:
"Who's so immoral as to blow up a mountain?"
Lin Xiao: "..."
He tried to minimize his presence as much as possible.
But Li Bo still noticed him.
Because that head of Red Maple-colored hair was just too eye-catching!
In this vast white snow, it burned like fire! Li Bo exclaimed in astonishment, "You're the immoral one?!"
"What are you blowing up mountains for?"
"No, wait!" Li Bo suddenly stood up, shook his head, and said in horror, "Young Master Lin Xiao, how did you manage to blow up a mountain?!"
Lin Xiao was silent.
Li Bo was also silent.
He knew Lin Xiao was no ordinary person. After all, before leaving, the Ye Family Head and Poison Douluo had personally sought him out, giving him thorough instructions and veiled threats, telling him to ensure Lin Xiao's safety at all costs.
Not a single hair could be missing! He also knew that Lin Xiao was already a Great Soul Master at this age, which was truly shocking.
But! Even if you are young and promising, even if you are exceptionally talented, even if you are regarded as a treasure by the Ye Family Head and Poison Douluo... isn't it a bit of an exaggeration for a mere Great Soul Master to blow up a mountain?!
At least a Soul Ancestor, or even a Soul King, could do that, right!
The two were speechless.
After a long while, Lin Xiao said awkwardly, "I didn't know this thing was so powerful."
A thousand bombs exploding in succession are really not as powerful as a thousand bombs exploding together! Lin Xiao could only be glad that he had sent this miniature fire phoenix far enough away before detonating it!
Otherwise, researching a self-created Soul Skill and injuring himself would be too embarrassing, wouldn't it? "Young Master Lin Xiao, you have given me too many surprises."
Li Bo's voice was full of emotion.
Actually, he wanted to say shocks, but for the sake of the Ye Family Head and Poison Douluo, he finally held back, and could only kindly remind him, "Young Master Lin Xiao, the power of your self-created Soul Skill is really a bit exaggerated. Even I can't withstand it exploding point-blank. You must not research it without the accompaniment of a powerful Soul Master."
Lin Xiao nodded honestly.
But his heart couldn't help but be a little excited.
Success! The improved version of the Flame Burst Technique!
Xiao Huohuo's ultimate move has a resounding name, called "Furious Fire Lotus".
Lin Xiao felt that his Flame Burst Technique should also have a resounding name, preferably one that is both descriptive and has its own characteristics. What name would be good? "Furious Fire Phoenix? Bah!"
"Phoenix Fire Lotus? Uh…"
"Or let's just call it Flame Burst Phoenix."
Lin Xiao improving the Flame Burst Technique doesn't mean the old version is obsolete. On the contrary, the old version is actually much more practical.
Because the new version is too powerful, it's meant to kill people. But the current atmosphere in the Soul Master world seems pretty good, generally not to the point of killing.
As for the old version…
Hehe, imagine punching someone in the face during a fight, or suddenly blasting them during close combat. Who would expect that? Although the power is far less than the Flame Burst Phoenix, it's still not to be underestimated, enough to make the enemy lose their ability to fight.
Or feigning death, and then giving the enemy a big surprise when they come to finish you off!
Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Explosion is art!"
Li Bo looked at Lin Xiao, who was talking to himself with excitement, and shook his head slightly. For the first time, he felt that this job might not be a good one.
If something happened to this kid Lin Xiao, his Li Cangsong's life wouldn't be guaranteed! Alas! He looked quite well-behaved before.
Who knew he was also a little troublemaker!
Li Cangsong couldn't help but think of another little troublemaker, about the same age as Lin Xiao, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He took a job to look after her, and that little fellow, who wasn't even a Soul Master, really gave his old bones a hard time!
If Lin Xiao met that little devil someday…
Heh, that would be really fun! "Young Master Lin Xiao, it seems your self-created Soul Skill has been successfully developed?"
Li Cangsong said helplessly, "Then today…"
"We'll just head back earlier today!"
Lin Xiao interjected:
"You've worked hard these past few days, Uncle Li!"
But Lin Xiao complained in his heart:
Uncle Li is such a buzzkill. That old poison Dugu Bo is much more interesting. If the old poison was by my side, he would probably be extremely envious and jealous right now! Maybe he would even beg Lin Xiao to teach him the Poison Burst Technique! The successful development of the Flame Burst Technique made Lin Xiao overjoyed. He felt that the fun in it should be much more interesting than those boring things like visiting brothels! The beauty of explosion far surpasses women!
The Flame Burst Technique can still be developed further! …
...
Afternoon.
Returning to the Shui Family with Li Bo.
He saw that Shui Shengxiao had already returned.
"Uncle Shui!"
Lin Xiao called out, then asked, "Was Bing'er's acquisition of her second Soul Ring smooth?"
Shui Shengxiao said happily, "Of course it was smooth, the harvest was beyond imagination!"
Lin Xiao was surprised and was about to ask when he saw Shui Binger running up, holding her skirt, and said happily:
"Brother Lin Xiao!"
"My second Soul Skill is called Frost Assault, it's a domain-type Soul Skill with amplification and control effects. Within the domain, my Soul Power recovery speed and attack power are doubled, and frost will invade the enemy's body, causing slowing and frostbite!"
Lin Xiao's expression was strange after hearing this.
He was thinking.
It seems… he can continue to freeload off Shui Binger?
