The mini fire phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the distance.
There was a strange evil fire in its eyes, forming the very pupils, which gave it a more vivid and life-like aura, dangerous yet fascinating...
The mini phoenix flew toward the distant mountains, gradually disappearing among the overlapping peaks. Even Lin Xiao could no longer see its trace, and could only sense its location through some sort of connection.
Should be about right, right?
To test the power of his improved Flame Burst Technique, Lin Xiao had channeled the majority of his soul power into it, finally fashioning a small phoenix constructed entirely of ultimate fire-attribute soul power.
Figuring the power would definitely be many times greater than when he had blown himself up previously, he naturally sent it to a barren, uninhabited place very far away from himself before detonating it.
Guessing it was far enough, Lin Xiao began to control that wisp of evil fire, letting its temperature continuously rise until it reached the maximum! Infinitely close to the Ultimate Fire!
"Bang!"
A thunderclap in a flat land!
Because the distance was great and it was blocked by overlapping peaks.
Lin Xiao only heard a muffled explosion, but it was not as loud as the sound he heard when he blew himself up earlier, so naturally he figured the commotion wasn't big either.
Li Bo, who was resting his eyes in the rocking chair, opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and muttered in puzzlement, "It still thunders in this ghostly weather? Really bizarre."
"Rumble~"
"Rumble~"
At this time, continuous echoes came from the distant valley. That was the sound of huge boulders rolling down from the mountain peak, distant and lingering.
Li Bo was stunned, and instinctively said:
"Who is so lacking in virtue, blowing up a mountain?"
Lin Xiao: "..."
He tried to minimize his presence as much as possible.
However, Li Bo still noticed him.
Because that head of red-maple-colored long hair was simply too eye-catching!
In this white snowy land, it was as blazing as fire!
Li Bo said in astonishment:
"The one lacking in virtue is you?!"
"What are you doing blowing up a mountain for no reason?"
"No!" Li Bo suddenly stood up, shook his head, and said in shock, "Young Master Lin Xiao, how did you manage to blow up the mountain?!"
Lin Xiao fell silent.
Li Bo fell silent as well.
He knew Lin Xiao was unusual. After all, before they left, the Ye Family Head and the Poison Douluo had personally sought him out, giving him a thorough exhortation and subtle warning to ensure Lin Xiao's safety by all means.
Not a single hair could be lost!
He also knew that Lin Xiao was already a Soul Grandmaster at this age, which was truly startling.
But! Even if you are young and promising, even if you are exceptionally talented, even if you are held in the palm of their hand by the Ye Family Head and the Poison Douluo... Isn't it a bit exaggerated for a mere Soul Grandmaster to blow up a mountain peak?!
At the very least, one had to be a Soul Ancestor or even a Soul King to accomplish this!
The two looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Lin Xiao said sheepishly:
"I didn't know this thing was so powerful."
A thousand bombs exploding in succession really wasn't as fierce as a thousand bombs exploding piled together! Lin Xiao could only be glad that he had sent this mini fire phoenix far enough away before detonating it!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too disgraceful to research a self-created soul skill and end up injuring himself?
"Young Master Lin Xiao, you really have given me too many surprises."
Li Bo's voice was full of emotion.
Actually, he wanted to say frights, but considering the faces of the Ye Family Head and the Poison Douluo, he finally held it back and could only offer a well-intentioned reminder:
"Young Master Lin Xiao, the power of this self-created soul skill of yours is somewhat exaggerated. Even I couldn't withstand a close-range, instantaneous explosion of it. You must never research it without a powerful Soul Master accompanying you."
Lin Xiao nodded honestly.
Only his heart could not suppress a surge of excitement.
He had succeeded!
The improved version of the Flame Burst Technique!
Xiao Huohuo's ultimate move had a resounding name called "Furious Fire Lotus".
Lin Xiao felt that his Flame Burst Technique should also have a resounding name, preferably one that was both vivid and had his own characteristics. What name should he choose?
"Buddha's Anger Phoenix? Bah!"
"Phoenix Fire Lotus? Uh..."
"Let's just call it the Flame Burst Phoenix."
Lin Xiao's improvement of the Flame Burst Technique did not mean the old version was no longer applicable. On the contrary, the practical degree of the old version was far greater than the new version.
Because the new version was too powerful, completely intended for killing people, but the current atmosphere in the soul master world seemed pretty good, and under normal circumstances, it wouldn't come to killing.
As for the old version...
Hehe, smashing it right into an opponent's face during a fight, or suddenly blowing it up on them during close combat—who could have expected it?
Although its power was far inferior to the Flame Burst Phoenix, it still could not be underestimated and was enough to cause the enemy to lose combat effectiveness.
Or playing dead, and when the opponent came up to deliver the finishing blow, directly giving the enemy a huge surprise!
Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Explosion is art!"
Li Bo looked at Lin Xiao, who was talking to himself with excitement that he could barely conceal, and shook his head slightly. For the first time, he felt that this errand might not be a good one.
If anything happened to this kid Lin Xiao, his little life as Li Cangsong wouldn't be guaranteed either, oh!
Sigh! He looked quite well-behaved earlier.
Who would have thought he was also a little ancestor!
Li Cangsong couldn't help thinking of another little ancestor who was about the same age as Lin Xiao. She was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When he took on the job to look after her back then, a little fellow who wasn't even a Soul Master had put his old bones through quite a torment!
If Lin Xiao ran into that little devil girl another day...
Heh, that would really be fun!
"Young Master Lin Xiao, it looks like your self-created soul skill has been successfully developed?"
Li Cangsong said helplessly: "Then today..."
"We'll head back a bit earlier today!"
Lin Xiao preempted him and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li, during this period!"
However, Lin Xiao muttered in his heart:
Uncle Li really spoiled the mood. Dugu Bo that old poisonous thing was much more interesting. If the one following by his side was the old poisonous thing, he didn't know how envious, jealous, and resentful that guy would be right now!
He might even beg Lin Xiao to teach him the Poison Burst Technique!
The successful development of the Flame Burst Technique made Lin Xiao immensely happy. He felt that the fun in this should be much more interesting than boring things like visiting a brothel! The beauty of explosion far surpassed women!
The Flame Burst Technique could still be further developed!
In the afternoon.
Returning to the Shui family along with Li Bo.
He caught sight of Shui Shengxiao having already returned.
"Uncle Shui!"
Lin Xiao shouted, and then asked:
"Was the hunting of Bing'er's second soul ring going smoothly?"
Shui Shengxiao laughed and said:
"Of course it went smoothly. The harvest was beyond imagination!"
Lin Xiao was surprised and was about to ask when he saw Shui Bing'er holding up her skirt and running over in small steps, saying happily:
"Brother Lin Xiao!"
"My second soul skill is called Frost Assault. It is a domain-type soul skill with amplification and control effects. Within the domain range, my soul power recovery speed and attack power are doubled, and at the same time, the frost will invade the enemy's body, causing deceleration and frostbite!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao had a strange look on his face.
He was thinking.
It seemed... he could still continue to live off Shui Bing'er's soft rice?
