Chapter 179: Master! Don

In the living room.

Everyone silently watched Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood in place, slightly embarrassed.

【"Ice Spike Shu " sneered: Pfft, country bumpkins. Making water freeze? That's child's play to me—easier than breathing. Why are you all acting like this is some grand miracle?】

Hearing the newcomer act so arrogantly,

"Fireball Shu " immediately grew annoyed.

It was the eldest in this household. When had a newcomer earned the right to show off?

【"Fireball Shu " sneered sarcastically: Oh? "Child's play"? It's just a basic skill—why are you acting so high and mighty?】

Seeing this, "Earth Shield Shu "—the most loyal second brother in the house—immediately jumped forward.

【"Earth Shield Shu " puffed out its chest: Exactly! You're a newcomer, haven't earned a single achievement—what right do you have to show off? Apologize to Big Brother right now!】

【"Ice Spike Shu " swept them with a look of supreme disdain.】

【"Ice Spike Shu " laughed coldly: I was born a noble Frost Spirit. If you're jealous of my Tianfu, just say it outright—why are you all yapping here?】

【"Ice Spike Shu " crossed its arms: For me to apologize? Do you even qualify?】

【"Earth Shield Shu " immediately rolled up its sleeves: Hey!】

"Enough!"

"Shut the hell up, all of you!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but shout inside his mind.

【Faced with the harsh scolding, a flush of crimson crept again over "Ice Spike Shu "'s icy-blue form; it shuddered violently.】

【"Ice Spike Shu " blushed shyly: Master is so fierce… I love it! Can you be even fiercer…?】

"???"

Lin Mo was completely numb.

Not just him.

The other three skills in his skill bar were numb too.

【"Fireball Shu ": Ugh… disgusting. So damn disgusting!】

【"Earth Shield Shu " shouted even louder: Master! Don't reward it!】

"…"

Lin Mo's lip twitched.

What the hell 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 certain… you've already mastered 'Condense Water into Ice'?"

Han Xue took a deep breath.

Such talent had completely exceeded her understanding.

Li Xuer also snapped back to reality and swallowed hard:

"Yeah, Lin Mo, don't joke about this."

"Condensing water into ice requires not only extreme affinity for water elements, but also altering their internal structure…"

"You've already… mastered it?"

Seeing the skeptical expressions on everyone's faces,

Lin Mo didn't bother explaining.

He raised his right hand.

"Little Ice, give them a shock."

【"Ice Spike Shu " instantly perked up: Yes, Master~! Your humble servant will give them a little icy shock!】

The next moment,

A freezing aura condensed in Lin Mo's palm.

"Go."

Lin Mo swung his hand sharply.

A half-meter-long ice spike shot instantly toward the wall.

Bang!

The ice spike slammed deep into the wall.

Frost spread visibly across the surface, radiating biting cold!

Li Xuer stared blankly at the wall: "It… it's really Ice Spike Shu …"

A senior boy beside her muttered:

"Not just Ice Spike Shu —it's also wandless casting… My god…"

Han Xue said nothing.

She stared fixedly at the ice spike embedded in the wall.

She hadn't expected anyone to master ice element on their first day—and with such precise control…

Had she underestimated Lin Mo's potential?

"Huh…"

Han Xue exhaled deeply.

"Good."

"Excellent."

"Since you've perfectly mastered Condense Water into Ice, we'll skip this step."

"Lin Mo, come with me to the backyard."

"I'll teach you real ice techniques myself!"

Saying this,

Han Xue turned and walked toward the backyard.

Seeing this, Lin Mo said nothing and quickly followed.

In the living room,

The senior students exchanged glances.

"Let's go! Follow them!"

Li Xuer was the first to react.

"Lin Mo's comprehension is terrifying—I want to see just how far he can go today!"

…

The villa's backyard.

The space wasn't huge, but not small either—roughly the size of two basketball courts.

At the center stood a wooden post.

Lin Mo recognized it at once.

It was identical to the damage-testing post in his own backyard.

Han Xue stopped ten meters in front of the post.

She turned to face Lin Mo, her expression cold again.

"Ice element differs from water element's softness."

"It combines powerful control with significant explosive damage."

Han Xue gazed at Lin Mo and spoke slowly:

"Today, I'll teach you your first beginner ice technique: 【Ice Burst Shu 】."

"It's the foundation of all ice techniques."

With that,

Han Xue wasted no more words.

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

"Watch closely."

Hum—!

In an instant,

A thick layer of frost crystallized over the surface of the post.

"Burst."

Han Xue's crimson lips parted.

Boom—!!!

A violent explosion roared.

The frost covering the wooden post exploded with a crash!

The incredibly hard wooden post shook violently.

"This is Ice Burst."

Han Xue lowered her hand and turned to Lin Mo:

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

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

"Then, in an instant, compress the ice elements clinging to the target to their limit, disrupting its internal balance and finally triggering an explosion."

Han Xue looked at Lin Mo:

"Control and damage coexist—that is the charm of ice."

"Understood?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo silently asked the 'Ice Spike Technique'.

"Little Ice, I'm asking you—do you get it?"

【The 'Ice Spike Technique' replied indifferently: So you just compress the ice elements and detonate them? This crude manipulation technique? I could do it with my eyes closed.】

Lin Mo nodded:

"Master Han, I think I understand."

Upon hearing this, Han Xue also nodded.

Then she pulled out ten skill books and handed them to Lin Mo.

"These are the Ice Burst skill books I prepared for you in advance."

"Although skill books won't let you learn the technique directly, they will greatly aid your comprehension of 'Ice Burst'."

"Feel them carefully."

At these words,

Li Xuer and others standing nearby instantly widened their eyes.

"Holy shit…"

"Ten?!"

"No wonder Lin Mo's the Demon King… Teacher really went all out!"

"Yeah, when I learned Ice Burst, my teacher didn't give me a single book—made me sit on top of a snowy mountain for five days and five nights to sense it myself!"

"These ten skill books are only beginner-tier, but together they're worth at least several million—just given away like this?"

"Ah, this is the treatment of a top prodigy."
