Steam Explosion + Ice Burst + Flame Burst, its power is double that of Flame Burst.
However, when applied to actual combat, it couldn't be calculated so simply.
For example:
Flame Burst has high explosive power, but it explodes externally. Ice Burst, on the other hand, explodes internally. When facing enemies with strong defenses, thick scales, or hard armor, Ice Burst Technique causes more significant damage.
The combination of Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er, however, allows the double power of Flame Burst to explode from within the enemy, potentially causing three to four times, or even more, damage than a traditional Flame Burst.
Lin Xiao explained his thoughts to Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er blinked her eyes.
"Brother Lin Xiao is so amazing!"
"So smart!"
Lin Xiao tapped Shui Bing'er's smooth, fair forehead.
This girl, acting like she was coaxing a child.
She had thought of it herself, she just loved playing the straight man.
Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er were both very satisfied with their unexpected gains today.
The two did not return to the Ye Residence immediately.
They went to the streets of Heaven Dou City.
Lin Xiao bought two cold drinks, then strolled with Shui Bing'er through a quiet alley.
Lin Xiao spoke to Shui Bing'er about Sea God Island.
Shui Bing'er listened to Lin Xiao tell his story.
When she heard that Lin Xiao had chased Tang Chen for thousands of miles, the young girl's brows furrowed slightly. When she heard that Tang Chen had been vanquished, her furrowed brows relaxed...
The young girl's emotions fluctuated with her beloved's experiences.
Later, the story reached the point where the Sea God tried every means to keep Lin Xiao and inherit his Godhood.
Shui Bing'er finally couldn't help but ask, her confusion evident.
"Brother Lin Xiao, how did you get out in the end?"
After all, that was on a god's territory, and with Bo Saixi, a Level 99 Limit Douluo, presiding!
Although Lin Xiao had experienced many things from chasing Tang Chen to returning to Heaven Dou, it had only been half a month in total.
Did he have to pay some price to get out of Sea God Island so quickly?
At the thought of this, Shui Bing'er's eyes filled with worry.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, extended a finger, and flicked Shui Bing'er's nose, joking, "The reason I could get out so quickly, of course, is because I sold Bing'er?"
"My Bing'er is very valuable, more than enough to exchange for a Lin Xiao."
Shui Bing'er said somewhat reproachfully, "Brother Lin Xiao, you're so improper!"
Lin Xiao said seriously, "Alright, the truth is, I refused to yield even unto death, and I still had an Asura God's Trial on me. The Sea God couldn't do anything to me."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiao's expression became somewhat strange.
If there was anything unexpected, it was that the Sea God would want Bo Saixi to serve him as a temptation, which was truly astonishing.
It seemed that even the Sea God, who calmed the seas and protected all living beings, had become much less human after ten thousand years in the God Realm. Perhaps Bo Saixi was nothing more than an ant in his eyes, at most a loyal one.
Lin Xiao said, "I could have left directly, but then I thought, although the Sea God's Godhood doesn't suit me, it's extremely compatible with Bing'er."
The ice attribute is an extension of the water attribute.
There is no such thing as the Ultimate Water attribute.
Possessing the Ultimate Ice attribute is, in a way, the ultimate of the water attribute.
Moreover, Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix. If she were to accept the Sea God Nine Trials, she would not only be the empress of the seas in the future but also the sovereign of the skies.
Shui Bing'er had already understood Lin Xiao's meaning.
So, during this brief outing, Lin Xiao had actually managed to get her a Sea God's Trial!
Oh, this...
Besides being moved.
Shui Bing'er's first thought was:
Would Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling be jealous if they found out?
Lin Xiao said somewhat shyly, "I'm planning to take Bing'er to Sea God Island when I return this time, and if possible, I'll bring Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling along."
Not just Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
There was also Shui Yue'er, as well as Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Shui Yue'er was Bing'er's biological sister, and she and Shui Bing'er could also perform Martial Soul Fusion Skills. Naturally, their own people needed to be vigorously cultivated.
This was his own sister-in-law!
As for Ning Rongrong… Lin Xiao had deep ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and he had also studied swordsmanship under Sword Douluo for a period of time, making him a registered disciple.
And Zhu Zhuqing. To be honest, bringing Zhu Zhuqing along was a bit of a stretch. After all, Shui Yue'er and Ning Rongrong could be considered their own people, while Zhu Zhuqing was an outsider.
But if you could get benefits from the Sea God, why not?
Among the outsiders, Zhu Zhuqing was someone Lin Xiao was relatively familiar with. Moreover, Lin Xiao had helped her before, so this was essentially an additional investment.
Didn't Zhu Zhuqing want to repay Lin Xiao all along?
Young lady, work hard to become stronger, and your chance to repay me will come!
Lin Xiao planned to sign an employment agreement with Zhu Zhuqing. This was essentially "studying abroad at public expense." After she returned, she would have to work diligently in a designated position. At the very least, for ten years after becoming a Titled Douluo, and the period before that, obeying the dispatch of the Phoenix Pavilion wouldn't be too much to ask, right?
Cough cough.
Tang San only brought five people with him, who were essentially his family.
So, Bing'er bringing five people wouldn't be too much, right?
Shui Bing'er's small head was in a daze.
"Ah? Brother Lin Xiao, can you bring people on a God's Examination?"
"Yes, you can. Have you never seen a pig run just because you haven't eaten pork before?"
Although Shui Bing'er found it incredible.
She trusted Lin Xiao unconditionally.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Bing'er, will you still have thoughts like that in the future?"
"Huh? What thoughts?"
"Like you've always been taking, unlike Ling Ling's family and Yan Yan's family who have helped me so much, making you feel like you can't hold your head up."
Shui Bing'er blushed.
"No way..."
Lin Xiao diagnosed Shui Bing'er's condition as "inferiority complex from her maiden family."
He had tried to enlighten her several times, but the effects were not significant.
The girl's heart was like blooming dandelions, sensitive and fragile.
"Bing'er, we'll have to rely on you to cover for us from now on. Godhood is hard to find; only those with destiny can obtain it. Places like Sea God Island, Slaughter City, and Spirit Hall are inheritance grounds because the gods have a foundation and are powerful enough to exist."
"If you don't have destiny, you have to rely on connections. The Sea God has extensive connections. Perhaps when Sister Yanyan and Sister Ling Ling want to become gods, they'll have to depend on you!"
"Bing'er is the Empress, after all~"
Shui Bing'er became embarrassed by Lin Xiao's words, her cheeks flushed pink.
She looked like a human Barbie, incredibly cute.
"Brother Lin Xiao, stop talking. If it weren't for you, how could Bing'er possibly..."
Shui Bing'er's small pink lips moved.
Lin Xiao: "What are you babbling about with that little mouth?"
"It's so pink and tender, like jelly. Should I taste if it's sweet?"
"Mmm..."
Lin Xiao tasted it.
It was indeed sweet!
...
Returning to the Ye Residence.
Lin Xiao informed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in detail about the upcoming trip to Sea God Island and the entire story.
Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were very interested.
Ye Lingling even cheered:
"Are we finally going on a long trip?"
"I've never seen the sea in my entire life!"
Lin Xiao smiled without saying anything.
The scenery of Sea God Island was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
But the Sea God Nine Trials were not pleasant at all
