Icefire Fusion? Had Lin Du Been Beaten Silly?!

"Why did that happen?"

"Even if the Ten Thousand Year Icefire Wolf Soul Bone granted you two Soul Skills,"

"Whether it was an Ice Attribute Soul Skill or a Fire Attribute Soul Skill,"

"Neither should have been able to break through my Angel Guardian,"

"How exactly did you do it?"

Qian Renxue stared intently at Lin Du, who stood opposite her,

Her eyes filled with curiosity.

"I can tell you,"

"But you have to promise not to attack me again."

Repeatedly unleashing the Soul Skills attached to his Spirit Bone had completely drained Lin Du's Soul Power.

If Qian Renxue still refused to stop,

He would have no choice but to go to Qian Daoliu and demand justice.

"Fine,"

"But you must also promise to keep everything that happened just now buried in your stomach."

Qian Renxue had calmed down considerably by now.

She was no longer blinded by rage as she had been earlier,

So she simply accepted the way out Lin Du had offered her.

"What happened?"

"Did anything happen just now?"

Lin Du looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression.

That innocent-looking face of his

Was truly deceptive to the extreme.

"Hmph."

"At least you know what's good for you."

"Alright,"

"Tell me already,"

"How exactly did you shatter my Third Soul Skill, Angel Guardian?"

Qian Renxue gave a soft snort.

She exited her Martial Soul Possession state,

Yet she could not conceal the curiosity in her heart and immediately urged Lin Du to explain himself.

"It's actually quite simple."

"Let me give you the easiest example."

"When you usually poured hot water in winter, did you ever notice"

"That if you poured the hot water too hastily,"

"The glass cup might suddenly crack or even explode?"

Lin Du looked at Qian Renxue,

His face carrying a questioning expression.

"I've seen that happen,"

"But"

"What necessary connection does that have with you shattering my Third Soul Skill?"

Qian Renxue nodded lightly,

But she still appeared utterly confused.

Clearly, she had not grasped the essence of Lin Du's example.

"Of course it's related."

"This involves the principle of thermal expansion and contraction."

"As the name suggests,"

"Things expand when heated,"

"And contract when cooled."

"The reason a glass cup might suddenly break when hot water is poured into it during winter"

"Is because the sudden rise in temperature causes it to expand,"

"Damaging it from the inside."

"Likewise,"

"Soul Power works the same way."

"I first used an Ice Attribute attack to freeze your Feather shield solid,"

"Then I used a Fire Attribute attack to make your Soul Power expand and rage, causing it to collapse from within,"

"Until it finally exploded with a bang."

Qian Renxue was not a foolish person to begin with.

The only reason she had not understood Lin Du's meaning the first time

Was entirely because she had never encountered this kind of knowledge.

Now that she had heard Lin Du's detailed explanation,

She immediately understood.

Yet it was precisely because she understood

That she was even more astonished by Lin Du's ingenious idea.

Merely by drawing from an ordinary phenomenon seen in winter,

He had realized such a practical combat technique.

It truly made her even more curious about Lin Du!

"I really want to pry open your head and see how your brain is put together."

"Just from seeing glass shatter in winter, you thought of fusing Ice Attribute and Fire Attribute attacks together,"

"To unleash astonishing power beyond what either possessed on its own."

Qian Renxue looked at Lin Du with astonishment written all over her face,

And her eyes now held a different sort of gleam.

"Fusion?"

Lin Du suddenly fell into deep thought.

Qian Renxue's words sent a flash of inspiration through his mind.

He vaguely seemed to have grasped something,

Yet it was still not entirely clear.

"Right!"

"I almost forgot about the important matter!"

"Grandpa told me to come get you just now,"

"But you made me so angry that I forgot."

"Come on,"

"Follow me to the Worship Hall!"

As she spoke,

Qian Renxue grabbed Lin Du by the arm.

In an instant, she completed her Martial Soul Possession.

Her six snow-white wings fluttered gently,

As she took Lin Du toward the Worship Hall.

A moment later,

Qian Renxue rushed into the Worship Hall with Lin Du,

Drawing the attention of all the Enshrined.

"Xue'er,"

"I can overlook the fact that it took you so long to bring Du'er here,"

"But why are you still being so reckless?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue in her Martial Soul Possession state,

His gaze carrying a hint of reproach.

"Grandpa,"

"You can't blame Xue'er alone."

"Lin Du is partly responsible too."

"If he hadn't delayed us by absorbing the Spirit Bone,"

"And then made me help him melt the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly,"

"I would have brought him here to see you long ago."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's reprimand,

Qian Renxue immediately felt wronged and dragged Lin Du into it as well.

No matter what, she wanted him to share the blame with her.

"Hm?"

Qian Daoliu seemed to sense something.

With a flicker, he appeared at Qian Renxue's side.

He took her hand and sensed it for a moment,

Then a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Soul Power has reached level 40."

"It seems you took the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly as well?"

Though Qian Daoliu was asking,

His tone was full of certainty.

"I helped Lin Du melt the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly,"

"And he gave me half as payment."

Qian Renxue nodded,

Confirming Qian Daoliu's question.

"After taking the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly,"

"Nothing happened between you two, right?"

Qian Daoliu asked casually,

But his gaze rested on Qian Renxue's face.

"Nothing happened."

"I merely fought Lin Du,"

"Then I hurriedly brought him here."

Qian Renxue answered calmly,

But Qian Daoliu still caught the fleeting panic in his granddaughter's eyes.

However, he did not expose her,

Nor did his expression reveal anything unusual.

"You fought?"

"Xue'er,"

"You're a Soul Elder with Three Spirit Rings."

"Although Du'er has twenty levels of Innate Soul Power,"

"Because he has yet to obtain any Spirit Rings,"

"He simply cannot effectively use his Martial Soul."

"You didn't beat him silly, did you?"

Upon hearing that Qian Renxue had fought Lin Du,

The other Enshrined present all wore nervous expressions.

They feared that Qian Renxue might have accidentally seriously injured Lin Du.

"I couldn't beat him silly even if I tried."

"He's tough."

"He doesn't even have a single Spirit Ring,"

"Yet he still fought me to a standstill."

Qian Renxue curled her lips,

As though she felt the Enshrined present were being overly protective of Lin Du.

"That's true."

"Third Brother and the others only gave Du'er a Soul Tool yesterday."

"With a Soul Tool in hand,"

"It shouldn't be a problem for him to fight Xue'er to a standstill."

"However,"

"What's wrong with Du'er?"

"Why hasn't he said a word even now?"

"Xue'er,"

"Are you sure that when you fought Du'er just now,"

"you didn't hurt his head?"

Mighty Lion Douluo looked at Lin Du, who had been standing there in a daze without saying a word.

He suddenly grew worried.
