Chapter 184: Insight: Extreme Cold Chain Explosion!

"Go!"

Fang Lei shouted loudly and struck first.

Six people surged toward Lin Mo from six different directions at once.

Lin Mo stood in place and suddenly raised his right hand.

In an instant, the temperature within a twenty-meter radius centered on him plummeted sharply!

Crack! Crack! Crack! —!!!

Six crisp sounds of freezing erupted nearly simultaneously!

The six figures remained frozen mid-lunge, their entire bodies encased in thick layers of ice.

Six people.

Six directions.

All frozen solid in the same second, unable to move!

At the same time,

In the next instant after the freezing was complete,

Countless fine cracks burst forth from within the thick ice encasing them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six clouds of ice mist exploded simultaneously!

The ice shattered violently, turning into a storm of glittering ice powder that drifted down gently.

Fortunately, their levels were far higher than Lin Mo's.

Even with perfect mastery, a beginner-level skill cannot overcome the suppression caused by level disparity.

Thus, though this attack appeared spectacular, it inflicted no real physical damage.

But…

Though the physical harm was minimal,

the psychological shock was like a magnitude-12 earthquake…

…

Fang Lei glanced at the tiny ice flakes clinging to his body, then at Li Xue'er nearby.

They stared at each other.

Had… Lin Mo just succeeded?

Are you kidding me!

We hadn't even cast our skills or applied pressure yet!

Suddenly,

The next moment,

Everyone's expressions turned stunned.

This wasn't just success!

Was this Extreme Cold Chain Explosion?

This was Extreme Cold Instant Explosion!

Simultaneously freezing six targets, then detonating them all at once—with not a single millisecond of delay…

This… this…

Is this something a person who just picked up ice magic on day one could possibly do?

Even we couldn't achieve this level of precision!

Fang Lei and Li Xue'er both turned to look at Lin Mo.

Their expressions were strange.

Young Master Lin, are you joking around with your seniors?

You learned Extreme Cold Chain Explosion just by looking at it once, right?

…

Nearby,

Han Xue wasn't faring any better.

She stood motionless, her long white hair stirring without wind.

Her blue eyes locked tightly on Lin Mo.

One glance, tried once, failed.

Then the second try—immediately executed textbook-perfect micro-control?

Is this guy's talent really that absurd?

And just now, that micro-control in Extreme Cold Chain Explosion reached absolute perfection.

Though she herself could achieve such micro-control,

back then, it took her two full days to master Extreme Cold Chain Explosion, and a full week to reach this level of finesse.

The seamless, instantaneous freezing and detonation—she simply couldn't believe Lin Mo had only just begun learning ice magic today.

…

Gu He, Xu Wenchang, and Zhang Daoyuan were also stunned.

They exchanged glances.

Each saw the same shock in the others' eyes.

They, as seasoned experts, knew full well how difficult Extreme Cold Chain Explosion was.

Yet Lin Mo had already reached the same level of micro-control mastery in ice as he had in the other three elements.

If this continued, he'd likely master all four high-grade elemental skills soon…

Terrifying!

Xu Wenchang let out a bitter laugh.

I knew you were talented, but not this absurdly talented.

He no longer doubted for a second that Lin Mo would become the first full-element mage in history.

Gu He's breathing grew rapid.

"Longguo may truly produce a Supreme Grand Mage who will dominate the Blue Planet!"

…

At the same time,

Lin Mo's interface displayed a series of prompts.

【Congratulations! Your skill "Ice Spike" has successfully evolved and unlocked the Ice-element beginner skill: Extreme Cold Chain Explosion (Lv. )!】

【Extreme Cold Chain Explosion (Lv. ): Freezes up to 10 targets within line of sight, then detonates the ice to inflict multiple ice-element damages. Maximum frozen targets and damage increase with skill level. Cooldown: 15 seconds.】

"Phew…"

Lin Mo also exhaled in relief.

Good, Xiao Bing didn't pull any stunts this time.

【"Ice Spike" haughtily lifted its chin and sneered: "Pfft, country bumpkins, overreacting—it's just a matter of slightly destabilizing the ice crystal's internal structure and then poking it all at once~ Why the big deal?"】

【Then, "Ice Spike" instantly switched to a sugary tone: "Master, Master~ How was my performance? Wasn't it perfect? Did I make you proud?"】

Hearing Xiao Bing's words,

Lin Mo felt utterly unmoved.

Of course.

You're a noble Elemental Spirit.

In elemental manipulation, what could they possibly match you with?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo silently sighed.

Now, he had all four Elemental Spirits gathered together.

In the future, he'd master even more elements—light, dark, even time and space…

He couldn't even imagine it. Absolutely couldn't.

…

Han Xue took several deep breaths to calm herself.

Then she walked up to Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo."

"You did well… no, you performed perfectly."

Han Xue's tone was solemn:

"Your talent is unlike anything I've ever seen."

"Your control over ice elements has far exceeded my expectations."

Hearing such high praise from Master Han,

Fang Lei, Li Xue'er, and the others nearby exchanged glances, all grimacing in resignation.

They were finally fully convinced.

Before a true god, the rest of them were just mortals—better go wash up and sleep.

Han Xue changed her tone.

"You no longer need to learn any other conventional beginner-level skills."

"Let's move directly to the next stage."

"Next, I will teach you a mid-tier ice skill I created through countless years of effort and battles on the edge of life and death."

At these words, Lin Mo's eyes slightly narrowed.

A self-created skill...

It must be powerful, then.

Such killing techniques, forged without skill scrolls and relying entirely on the caster's ultimate comprehension of the elements, often far surpass conventional skills of the same tier.

But I have Xiao Bing—surely I can grasp it instantly? Maybe even surpass it?

Han Xue looked at Lin Mo and said coldly:

"This mid-tier ice skill is called Frost Heaven Shattered Ice Array—it transforms the frost in the sky into a formation, detonating endless shards of ice to cut down the enemy."

Han Xue took a deep breath, her tone carrying a hint of loneliness.

"To be honest, over the years, I've taught this self-created skill to many so-called ice prodigies."

"But so far, no one has been able to master it."
