Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 420 Steam Explosion! A Combination of Ice Explosion and Fire Explosion

Shui Bing'er is currently cultivating.

The courtyard was covered with frost-covered ice flowers.

Enter the courtyard.

You can see many flowers carved from ice, so exquisitely detailed that even the smallest details like the stamens are not overlooked.

There is also a lifelike ice phoenix.

Lin Xiao even saw a Q-version ice sculpture of himself and Shui Bing'er on the stone table in the courtyard.

Shui Bing'er was sitting cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Why did Bing'er suddenly become interested in making these little things?

"My Bing'er is really skillful."

Lin Xiao smiled and stepped closer.

"Brother Lin Xiao?"

Shui Bing'er turned around in surprise, and upon seeing Lin Xiao, she quickly stood up, jogged over, and whispered:

"Bing'er wants to improve her control over her soul power, so she's doing special training!"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment.

Bing'er's ultimate ice attribute is too domineering and difficult to control, let alone use it to carve such delicate and exquisite things.
This requires a very high level of control over soul power.

It also requires a high level of mental strength.

This reminded Lin Xiao of when he first transformed his soul power into armor, using similar methods to improve his control over his soul power and hone his mental strength.

"but……"

"Bing'er, you're not being good at all."

"They actually kept it from me."

Lin Xiao reached out and stroked a lifelike ice phoenix placed beside the flower bed. The bone-chilling cold quickly spread from his skin and invaded his body, but was immediately dispelled by the supreme yang soul power within Lin Xiao's body.

This ice phoenix statue is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Its internal structure is extremely special and contains a peculiar fluctuation of soul power.

"Ice Blast?"

Lin Xiao asked out his guess.

Shui Bing'er smiled shyly, her voice soft and sweet, like a daffodil trembling in the cool breeze:
"Ice has not yet developed it, so it's not appropriate to show it off to Brother Lin Xiao. I'm trying to improve the Ice Explosion Technique."

"Because the power of the Ice Blast spell is limited, it can only cause significant damage after the cold air invades the enemy's body and freezes the blood and other water in the enemy's body."

"Bing'er wondered if there was any way to increase the explosive power of it, so that it could cause considerable damage even if it didn't explode inside the enemy."

"After all, there are often no conditions to get close to the enemy, so the use of Ice Blast is limited by the environment."

Lin Xiao was very interested in this.

Previously, Lin Xiao faced the same problem as Shui Bing'er: the Fireball Technique could only be cast at close range.

I then studied it for several months.

A truly imaginative idea.

They finally managed to improve the Fireball spell.

"So, Bing'er, what are your plans?"

"Perhaps I can offer some suggestions as well."

Although Lin Xiao didn't know much about the Ice Explosion Technique, because he had lived two lives and experienced the information explosion and scientific education in his later life, he was often able to see through the phenomena to the essence and put forward refreshing views.

Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and then replied:

"Bing'er doesn't have any good ideas yet, but she has come up with some small applications for Ice Blast. Brother Lin Xiao, if you are interested, I can tell you about them."

"Okay."

"Bing'er believes that Ice Blast doesn't necessarily have to pursue high damage. Sometimes, pursuing perfection too much can lead to detachment from reality. Ice Blast can also be used as a control skill. The ice mist generated after the explosion can interfere with the enemy's vision; the freezing effect can also slow down the enemy's movements."

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment.

"Bing'er, I think your idea is very good."

"The application of Ice Blast should not be limited to its destructive power. Ice skills also have strong control capabilities and can be used for appropriate tactical extensions."

"In that case, I'll give you some suggestions on how to increase its lethality."

Lin Xiao then explained his thoughts to Shui Bing'er in detail.

First, there are two ways to maximize the damage of Ice Blast to an enemy: the first is to detonate ice crystals inside the enemy's body; the second is to detonate ice crystals by freezing the water inside the enemy's body.

While the second method is the most powerful, it is not easy to achieve, so the most practical method is actually the first one. The hardness of the ultimate ice and the sharpness of the ice crystals make it very effective at piercing armor, and the ice crystals can more easily penetrate into the enemy's body; Lin Xiao doesn't need to elaborate on these points.

"There is such a phenomenon in reality."

"When an extremely cold object suddenly comes into contact with a hot liquid, it will cause a violent explosion, which is called a steam explosion. If Bing'er can meet this condition, she can perform both ice explosion and steam explosion, doubling the power."

Suddenly, Lin Xiao froze.

Steam explosion?

Yeah, how could he not have thought of that!
Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, and they both blurted out the answer almost simultaneously.

"Ice Blast?!"

"Fireball?!"

Both of them were startled at the same time.

His eyes were full of smiles.

The two realized at the same time that the conditions for achieving a steam explosion were simple: Lin Xiao's Fire Blast and Shui Bing'er's Ice Blast could be used together.

There seems to be a strange connection between Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er.

When two people are together, the effect is always greater than the sum of its parts.

Lin Xiao said:
"My optimization of the Fireball Technique started with its soul power structure, but only I can understand the changes, and it also takes a lot of time."

"Bing'er, you can try it when you have time."

He said those words almost hastily.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er went together to the outskirts of Tian Dou City.

This aroused the jealousy of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who happened to be out.

Ye Lingling snorted.

Dugu Yan glanced at Lin Xiao with a half-smile, her slender fingers subtly hooking her fingers, a challenge to a duel.

Lin Xiao: "..."

He said with a helpless expression:
"What do you think Bing'er and I were rushing out for? It was something to do with our cultivation!"

"Bing'er and I have an extremely high compatibility in our martial souls. In addition to being able to use martial soul fusion skills, our other soul skills often have an unexpected degree of compatibility."

Ye Lingling took Dugu Yan's small hand.

"Sister Yanyan!"

"Let's go and work things out together!"

So what if your martial soul has a high compatibility? What's so special about that!
She's just like Sister Yan Yan!
……

Tiandou City, suburbs.

Lin Xiao activated his mental detection and pupil technique to confirm that there was no one around and that there would be no accidental injury, then took a deep breath.

"Bing'er, let's begin."

The intertwining of icy blue and fiery red soul power, with crimson flames enveloping the extremely cold ice crystals, created a breathtaking and magnificent scene.

Lin Xiao is able to control the temperature of the flames.

The ice crystals are coated with refined iron.

As Shui Bing'er launched the ice crystals, the instant they struck the trees and rock walls, he rapidly increased the temperature of the flames, melting the refined iron into molten iron, the high-temperature liquid required for a steam explosion.

"boom!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose up.

Ice explosion, fire explosion, steam explosion.

The three explosions combined.

Its power is twice that of the Fireball spell.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

Shui Bing'er smiled sweetly.

"Brother Lin Xiao, we're so amazing!"

The girl was happiest because she could always help Lin Xiao.

Why is Shui Bing'er working so hard to become stronger?

Because she's strong, just like Lin Xiao is strong.
