Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 76 Ultimate Ice, The Theory of Elemental Restraint

"My theory is actually quite simple, but I need to know what kind of martial soul your daughter has before I can explain the first part of the theory. After I receive 10,000 gold soul coins and you successfully hunt the soul, I will have a follow-up theory, but I don't really understand this follow-up theory. It depends on whether you can afford to give me more gold soul coins."

Mo Yu was in no hurry to explain his theory, but instead waited to see if the head of the Shui family would agree.

Fortunately, the head of the Shui family had already listened attentively to Mo Yu's theory, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Even if Mo Yu's theory is really rubbish, he can just not pay.

“Alright, my daughter’s martial soul is the Ice Phoenix.”

As the Shui family patriarch finished speaking, Mo Yu pretended to be shocked, while Xiao Wu beside him also widened her eyes, her little face full of disbelief.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is far stronger than her Soft Bone Rabbit!
If she weren't a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had transformed into a human and started cultivating again, she would definitely be no match for this girl who was about the same age as her.

If it weren't for Mo Yu's theory of elemental synergy, she might have been able to be caught up by the girl in front of her in the future.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

Xiao Wu felt a mix of emotions upon seeing peers who were no less capable than her once again.

With so many geniuses among human soul masters, how could soul beasts possibly be a match for humans?

With this in mind, Xiao Wu decided that she would cultivate even harder.

She thought of the woman who killed her mother, who might also be a privileged person like this girl. Since she was a privileged person, that woman certainly wouldn't be standing still waiting for her.

She has to work twice as hard to catch up with that woman and then get revenge.

"Ice Phoenix, what an incredibly powerful martial spirit that is!"

At the same time, when Xiao Wu made up her mind, Mo Yu sighed and gave the Shui family head plenty of emotional support.

After a brief moment of shock, Mo Yu smiled slightly and stated his theory: "However, if the martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, then my theory is even more correct."

"The Ice Phoenix must never absorb soul rings of other attributes; the ultimate ice attribute is the best."

As soon as Mo Yu said this, the head of the Shui family immediately grasped the key words in her words and asked with some doubt.

"The ultimate?"

"That's right, it's the ultimate. As the top-tier beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix is ​​not inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Senior, you can't just give out spirit rings randomly."

Mo Yu nodded and said seriously.

"What do you mean?"

The head of the Shui family was somewhat confused. The soul ring he chose for Shui Bing'er was intended to enhance her ice attribute while also allowing her to have water-related transformations.

In this way, Shui Bing'er can naturally become a powerful control-type Soul Master.

Of course, besides this reason, he also hoped that Shui Bing'er could go to Tianshui Academy to study.

If what this young man says is true, then Shui Bing'er will have a hard time joining Tianshui Academy.

"Senior, think about it. Don't the Five Elements Academy on the continent aim for the ultimate limit of the path? The fact that they exist means that it is reasonable and that doing so is beneficial. That's one of the reasons why I said that your daughter should choose to absorb the ultimate ice attribute soul ring and go for the ultimate attribute."

As Mo Yu spoke, he couldn't help but think of his theory of elemental synergy. His theory of elemental synergy seemed to give Soul Masters the ability to fuse their own Soul Skills, making it possible to fuse Soul Rings with Skills.

However, that applies to martial souls with weak elemental power; it might not be suitable for the ultimate Ice Phoenix.

Otherwise, according to his theory of elemental interaction, the ice attribute could choose the wind attribute. Wind generates ice, and strong winds carry away heat, which can enhance the coldness of the ice attribute and make the ice more solid.

Hmm? It doesn't seem like it's entirely impossible. So, how about we earn two jobs?
Mo Yu's mind raced, but he ultimately decided to postpone discussing the theory of elemental interaction. Hearing Mo Yu's words, the Shui family head nodded repeatedly; there was some truth to it.

"Next, I'll talk about the theory of elemental restraint."

"The theory of elemental restraint?"

Upon hearing Mo Yu utter the theory of elemental restraint, the Shui family members were all greatly disappointed. They had wondered what this young man was about to say.

Is this the result?

Who doesn’t know this?
They are both water-attribute soul masters, so of course they are good at using water to counter fire.

"You're mistaken. The elemental counters I'm talking about include not only the usual water-fire counter relationship, but also ice-water, ice-fire, and ice-ice."

Mo Yu smiled faintly. His ice was not ordinary ice, but the ultimate ice.

The ultimate ice is what restrains the elements he mentioned.

"I understand that ice counters water, ice counters fire, but what about ice countering ice?"

Since it concerned her own martial soul, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask.

Mo Yu glanced at Shui Bing'er and found that she was still a rather lively girl, not at all like the composed girl described in the book.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Mo Yu's lower back, forcing him to look away.

"I have studied many elemental counteractions and found that the so-called elemental counteraction is just a physical phenomenon."

"It's like water extinguishing fire. That's because to boil the same amount of water into steam, the flame needs a higher temperature or more time. Without that temperature and time, the fire will be extinguished when the water hits it."

"The same goes for ice. You can understand why ice controls water because you've seen water freeze, but water has to lose a lot of heat to freeze."

"Just like how it takes time for ice to freeze three feet deep, ice doesn't get frozen in a day. So under normal circumstances, ice doesn't control water; on the contrary, it is controlled and resisted by water."

"So, conversely, if you want ice to control water, fire, and even ice itself, you need to strengthen your ice, making it colder than others. Your ice can instantly remove the heat from water, fire, and ice, thus controlling those elements. This is the theory of elemental control, and it's also the reason for the Limit Flow of the Elemental Academy."

"I call this kind of element that is pushed to the limit the ultimate element. The Ice Phoenix should follow the ultimate ice."

Although Mo Yu's theory was not mentioned in the first part, some people could still sense it to some extent, but they did not provide a systematic explanation or theoretical integration.

Now that Mo Yu had said that, everyone in the Shui family was shocked. They were all stunned and stood there motionless, including the head of the Shui family.

This was the first time he had heard such a scientific explanation.

After a long while, the head of the Shui family finally realized what was happening and asked curiously.

"Then, young friend, what kind of spirit beast do you think my daughter should choose for her second spirit ring?"

The Shui family head's words immediately touched on Mo Yu's theoretical blind spot. He had knowledge of more than ten thousand years of Douluo Continent, but that did not mean he knew everything about all soul beasts.

He had no idea what kind of spirit beasts in the far north would be suitable for Shui Bing'er.

However, after hesitating for a second, Mo Yu still gave his answer.

“There is a kind of soul beast in the core area of ​​the far north called the Ice Jade Scorpion. The ice element of their race is close to the extreme ice I mentioned. However, they must be very extraordinary to be in the core area of ​​the far north. You should be careful.”

Mo Yu had already said this much, so it was clear that he didn't want to go.
