Nahida's Elemental Burst: The Dreamlike Palace Makes Its Debut
So fast!
That was the thought that flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.
The spear tip spun along with Ling Yuan's body, flames enveloping them in a sight resembling a fiery tornado.
Ling Yuan and her spear were almost upon her.
At that critical moment, she also used Nahida's Elemental Skill.
[Nahida - Elemental Skill - All Schemes to Know]
Qian Renxue immediately raised her hands and made a gesture that left everyone somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, a green filter instantly descended over everything in Qian Renxue's field of vision.
She aimed the strange gesture at Ling Yuan, then quickly shifted it in another direction, aiming it at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The instant Qian Renxue lowered her hands, Ling Yuan Douluo's heavy attack was suddenly interrupted.
A green chain had appeared, linking her to Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Not only that, after Ling Yuan landed, her heavy attack interrupted, her body and Chrysanthemum Douluo's suddenly burst into flames at the same time.
Both let out a scream, and before long, they collapsed, charred black from head to toe.
Yan, who had been standing by, immediately stepped forward and used Barbara's Elemental Burst to bring them both back to life.
Afterward, Ling Yuan and Chrysanthemum Douluo sat on the ground, their faces filled with terror.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was the most bewildered of all. He had clearly been more than ten meters away from Ling Yuan, so how had he suddenly been hit along with her?
And judging by the look of it, they had taken almost exactly the same amount of damage.
"What just happened should have been a Burning Reaction, right? Ling Yuan had Pyro applied to her, and then the young master used a Dendro skill on her, directly triggering the Burning Reaction."
She Long offered his analysis from the side.
The reaction between Pyro and Dendro was relatively simple: there was only the Burning Reaction.
Ling Yuan frowned. "In that case, aren't melee Pyro characters at a huge disadvantage against ranged Dendro characters?"
"Melee Pyro characters have Pyro applied to them most of the time when they use their skills. If a ranged Dendro character uses a ranged targeting skill, the melee Pyro character will just spontaneously combust on the spot."
She Long shrugged. "That's true, but I think the key just now was still that chain. Without the chain binding you, you could still have reached the young master and attacked before losing your ability to fight."
Ling Yuan thought about it and decided he had a point.
It was because the chain had bound her that she had ended up burning on the spot.
Seen that way, the Dendro Archon's Elemental Skill really was terrifying.
"Young master, how many people can that chain of yours bind at most?"
Ling Yuan couldn't help asking.
Qian Renxue said, "Eight."
"Eight?! How long does it last?"
"Twenty-five seconds."
Everyone was shocked once again.
A hard crowd control effect lasting a full twenty-five seconds? Was this some kind of joke?!
While those eight people were held under hard crowd control, Qian Renxue could use other characters to attack, and they would be sitting ducks!
Was this what an authentic five-star god was like?
Yue Guan immediately said, "Couldn't you just avoid using a Pyro character when you're targeted?"
Ling Yuan said, "The chain itself also does damage. Didn't you feel it just now?"
"I burned too fast. When would I have had time to feel it...?"
Yue Guan muttered, though he was also silently pleased, because he had Nahida too.
Nahida being strong meant he was strong.
Ling Yuan looked at Hu Tao's level then. She had already reached level two. That was really fast.
She thought for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Young master, how about we compare Elemental Bursts too, but without using Elemental Skills?"
To her surprise, Qian Renxue shook her head. "My Elemental Burst is more like a purely support skill."
"It's a skill specifically meant to work with the Elemental Skill, so there's no point in using it without the Elemental Skill. Besides, the ultimate relies heavily on teammates, and I don't have any other characters at the moment."
Hearing this, Ling Yuan nodded silently and gave up on the idea of testing her Elemental Skill against Nahida's for the time being.
Still, it seemed that Dendro Archon Nahida's abilities were geared toward support.
Qian Renxue had realized the same thing. Nahida depended heavily on her teammates, so she urgently needed to pull Hydro, Pyro, and Electro characters.
Ling Yuan still couldn't help asking, "Then let us see what Nahida's Elemental Burst looks like?"
"All right."
Qian Renxue readily agreed.
[Nahida - Elemental Burst - Illusory Heart]
The moment she used the skill, the cute little girl pressed her palms together and looked up at the sky. An enormous green dome rose up, spinning as it ascended.
Everyone looked around in astonishment.
Only then did they realize they were inside a gigantic green palace.
As for how big the palace was... it covered nearly everything within a five-hundred-meter radius!
A faint green glow filled the air, along with the fresh scent unique to the Dendro element.
Ling Yuan and the others also noticed that as Qian Renxue walked through it, green blades of grass seemed to sprout in her footsteps, making for a dreamlike sight.
Qian Renxue explained, "The way to understand the Elemental Burst is that if I have a Pyro character on my team, my Elemental Skill's damage will increase because of it."
"And if there are Electro or Hydro characters on the team, they'll each give Nahida's Elemental Skill different bonuses."
When Qian Renxue finished speaking, however, she found that hardly anyone was listening...
Everyone was still gazing in wonder at the sight of the enormous palace.
Some people standing hundreds of meters away even tried reaching out to touch the palace walls, only to find their hands passing straight through.
The air had turned into a scene brimming with green, and when sunlight shone in, even its golden rays turned green.
This dreamlike, romantic scene instantly captured the hearts of most of the women.
After about twenty seconds, however, the palace vanished, though everyone was still looking around, reluctant for the experience to end.
"I really want to pull Nahida..."
"Me too, I love Nahida!!"
"Her skills are powerful, she has lots of reactions, and her skills look really cool!"
"And she's a cute little girl you can interact with."
"There's something wrong with you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo said gloomily at that moment, "In that case, wouldn't my Qiqi be pretty much useless on the team? Qiqi is a Cryo character..."
Shen Luo said, "Once you pull more characters later, can't you just put Qiqi on a different team?"
"True."
Chrysanthemum Douluo thought that made sense. He had instinctively assumed those were the only characters he had, forgetting that he still had plenty of Soul Power to keep pulling.
Just then, a commoner suddenly said, "Could you show us the different Dendro reactions? They're really a little confusing, and we'd like to see exactly how the reactions happen with our own eyes!"
Even if no one had brought it up, Qian Renxue had wanted to try them out herself.
"Of course, but I'll need the help of Electro, Pyro, and Hydro characters."
Ling Yuan said, "Leave the Pyro character to me. I'll use Hu Tao."
Pufferfish also stepped forward cheerfully. "Leave the Electro character to me. I have Fischl."
Yan said, "Leave the Hydro character to me. I'll use Barbara."
Qian Renxue nodded, then suddenly said, "But that raises a question. Who are we going to use as a test subject for the Dendro reactions?"
Everyone fell silent. Even the group of kneeling people quietly lowered their heads.
No one dared to try.
