Chapter 179: Master! Do Not Reward It!

In the living room.

Everyone silently stared at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood in place, somewhat embarrassed.

【Ice Spike Technique sneered: Tsk, a bunch of country bumpkins. Isn't it just condensing water into ice? Such a trivial trick is as simple as breathing to this Young Lady. Is there any need to make such a foolish display?】

Hearing the newcomer act so pretentiously.

Fireball Technique immediately became displeased.

It was the eldest in this house; when did it become a newcomer's turn to act pretentious?

【Fireball Technique spoke in a sarcastic tone: Oh my, trivial trick? Isn't it just a basic skill? Now you're acting all high and mighty?】

Earth Shield Technique, seeing this, as the most loyal second brother in the house, immediately jumped out.

【Earth Shield Technique puffed out its chest: Exactly, exactly! You newcomer, with no merit to your name, what right do you have to act pretentious! Apologize to Big Brother immediately!】

【Ice Spike Technique swept its gaze over them with an air of supreme disdain.】

【Ice Spike Technique sneered repeatedly: This Young Lady was born a noble spirit of frost. If you are jealous of this Young Lady's talent, just say it outright. Why make such a racket here?】

【Ice Spike Technique crossed its arms: Ask this Young Lady to apologize? Are you even worthy?】

【Earth Shield Technique immediately pretended to roll up its sleeves: Hey!】

"Enough!"

"Shut the hell up, all of you!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but shout in his heart.

【Facing the fierce scolding, a flush of crimson once again climbed onto Ice Spike Technique's ice-blue body, and it shuddered violently.】

【Ice Spike Technique became coy: Master is so fierce... This Young Lady loves it! Can you be a little fiercer...?】

"???"

Lin Mo was completely numb.

Not just him.

The other three skills in the skill bar were also numb.

【Fireball Technique: Ugh... disgusting, so damn disgusting!】

【Earth Shield Technique shouted even louder: Master! Do not reward it!】

"..."

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

What exactly had he awakened?

Destroy it all.

Tired.

Meanwhile,

Han Xue finally spoke.

She stared fixedly at Lin Mo, the shock in her eyes impossible to hide.

"Lin Mo, are you sure... you have already comprehended Condensing Water into Ice?"

Han Xue took a deep breath.

Such talent completely exceeded her understanding.

Li Xue'er also came to her senses, swallowing hard:

"Yes, junior Lin Mo, this is no joke."

"Condensing Water into Ice requires not only extremely high affinity with the water element but also the ability to alter the internal structure of the water element..."

"And you... have already mastered it?"

Seeing the expressions of disbelief on everyone's faces.

Lin Mo was too lazy to explain.

He raised his right hand.

"Little Ice, give them a bit of shock."

【Ice Spike Technique instantly became excited: As you command! Dear Master~ This Young Lady will give them a little ice-element shock right now!】

The next moment.

An extremely cold aura condensed in Lin Mo's hand.

"Go."

Lin Mo waved his hand violently.

An ice spike half a meter long shot out at the wall in an instant.

Bang!

The ice spike stabbed hard into the wall.

Frost spread across the wall at a speed visible to the naked eye, the cold air biting!

Li Xue'er stared blankly at that wall, "It... it really is Ice Spike Technique..."

A senior male student nearby murmured:

"Not just Ice Spike Technique, but casting it directly without a staff... Oh my god..."

Han Xue said nothing.

She stared fixedly at the ice spike on the wall.

She never expected that someone would truly enter the ice path on their very first day and achieve such proficient mastery...

Could it be that I have underestimated Lin Mo's potential?

"Huff..."

Han Xue took a deep breath.

"Very good."

"Very, very good."

"Since you have perfectly mastered condensing water into ice, let's skip this step."

"Lin Mo, follow me to the backyard."

"I will personally teach you true Ice-attribute skills!"

Having said that.

Han Xue turned and walked toward the backyard.

Seeing this, Lin Mo wasted no words and quickly followed.

In the living room.

The senior students of the fourth year looked at one another in bewilderment.

"Let's go! Hurry and follow to see!"

Li Xue was the first to react.

"Junior Lin Mo's comprehension is terrifying; today I must see how far he can learn!"

The villa's backyard.

The space here was not large, but not small either, roughly the size of two basketball courts.

In the very center stood a wooden stake.

Lin Mo recognized it at a glance.

It was exactly the same as the damage-testing wooden stake in his own backyard.

Han Xue walked to ten meters in front of the stake and stopped.

She turned around, looked at Lin Mo, and her expression returned to sternness.

"The Ice attribute differs from the Water attribute's softness and flexibility."

"It combines extremely strong control with damage possessing a certain degree of explosive power."

Han Xue gazed at Lin Mo and said slowly:

"Today, the first low-tier Ice-attribute skill I will teach you is named 【Ice Explosion Technique】."

"This is also the cornerstone of all Ice-attribute skills."

Having spoken.

Han Xue wasted no unnecessary words.

She raised her right hand and pointed remotely at the wooden stake ahead.

"Watch closely."

Buzz—!

In an instant,

a thick layer of frost condensed on the surface of that wooden stake.

"Explode."

Han Xue's red lips parted slightly.

Boom—!!!

A violent roar.

The frost covering the wooden stake exploded violently!

That incredibly hard wooden stake trembled violently.

"This is the Ice Explosion Technique."

Han Xue lowered her hand, turned, and looked at Lin Mo:

"The core lies in two points: freezing and compression."

"First, completely freeze the target, applying absolute control."

"Then, in an instant, perform extreme compression on the ice elements attached to the target, destroying its internal balance, and finally detonate it."

Han Xue looked at Lin Mo:

"Control and damage coexisting; this is the charm of the Ice attribute."

"Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo asked 'Ice Spike Technique' in his mind.

"Little Ice, she's asking you, do you understand?"

【'Ice Spike Technique' said carelessly: Isn't it just compressing ice elements and then detonating them? Such crude manipulation techniques, this Young Lady could produce with her eyes closed.】

Lin Mo nodded:

"Teacher Han, I feel I should understand."

Hearing this, Han Xue also nodded.

Afterwards, she took out ten skill books and handed them to Lin Mo.

"These are the 【Ice Explosion Technique】 skill books I prepared for you in advance."

"Although skill books cannot directly make you learn a skill, they will be of great help to your comprehension of 'Ice Explosion Technique'."

"Feel it carefully."

At these words—

Li Xue'er and the others standing not far away instantly widened their eyes.

"Holy shit…"

"Ten books?!"

"Truly worthy of Lin Mo the Great Demon King… the teacher's generosity is just too much!"

"Right? When I was learning the Ice Burst Technique back then, the teacher didn't even give me a single book—just told me to go to the snowy mountain peak and brave the cold wind for five days and five nights to gain insight!"

"These ten skill books, even though they're only beginner-level, add up to at least several million—gifted just like that?"

"Sigh, this is the treatment a top-tier monstrous talent receives."
