She specifically turned her gaze toward the twin sisters and praised them sincerely: "In addition, I have to say, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill 'Heavenly Net' is really good. It has a wide control range, strong tenacity, and huge potential. Especially since you are Body Martial Soul Spirit Masters, your future development space is even more limitless."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo thanked her in unison. Although they had lost, receiving affirmation from this "monster-level" opponent lessened the sense of loss in their hearts significantly.
Furina nodded. With a thought, her first spirit ring lit up, and three "strawberry cream cakes" emitting an enticing sweet fragrance and a soft aura of life appeared out of thin air in her hands.
She walked forward and handed the cakes to the three of them individually, her tone carrying apology and concern: "This is the healing cake created by my First Soul Skill. The effect is quite good. Eat it; it's beneficial for recovering from injuries and stabilizing Soul Power. Although I controlled the intensity of the attack just now, the killing mechanism of the Soul Bone Skill is quite special. If any hidden injuries are left behind that affect your future Cultivate, my guilt would be great."
These words weren't entirely polite pleasantries. In fact, she had indeed used only a minuscule amount of power for the "Water Burst Technique" just now.
She knew well the terrifying nature of this skill—in the original story, Huo Yuhao's "Ice Explosion Technique" and that "messenger of death's" "Corpse Explosion Technique" had both displayed horrifying power that could kill enemies above their level.
And her "Water Burst Technique" was, in principle, even more concealed and lethal because moisture is almost everywhere, including inside biological bodies and in the air. Theoretically, if her intent were malicious enough, she could even directly detonate the blood inside an opponent! Of course, as the Water God, she would never use this technique on innocent people.
Perhaps... in the future, when dealing with those heinous Evil Soul Masters, she could "give them a taste of their own medicine" and let them experience the feeling of their blood boiling and exploding from the inside out? That would surely be an extremely perfect execution of justice.
Huang Chutian and the others took the warm cakes. Feeling the pure life energy flowing within, the last trace of unwillingness in their hearts turned into admiration, and they thanked her again in unison: "Thank you."
The result of this match was already beyond suspense. Furina, wins!
Below the stage, Teacher Wang Yan, who had been watching the battle with full attention, now had stormy waves crashing in his heart.
The "killing move" Furina had just displayed seemed even more bizarre and unpredictable to him than Huo Yuhao's mysterious Spiritual Detection! It was as if a point in the air had been detonated out of thin air, without any warning, directly heavily wounding three Two-Ring Great Soul Masters in perfect condition and even forcibly interrupting a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
He faintly noticed an extremely subtle pale blue water mist permeating the moment of the explosion... Could it be that this was a skill attached to a "god-bestowed spirit bone" unique to the Axis Cult? Related to water, yet manifesting as a terrifying explosion? This completely overturned his understanding of water-attribute Spirit Abilitys!
Not only Wang Yan, but also Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and even Huo Yuhao, who had followed Furina the longest, had faces written with shock.
Huo Yuhao, relying on the extraordinary vision granted by his "Spirit Eye" Martial Soul, captured more details.
He clearly saw that at the moment Furina snapped her fingers, in the air around the bodies of Huang Chutian and the others, countless imperceptible water molecules were instantly gathered and compressed into microscopic water droplets that were hard to see with the naked eye by an invisible force. Immediately afterward, these water droplets exploded violently in a way that transcended understanding, releasing startling destructive power. The entire process was as fast as lightning, silent, and impossible to guard against.
"My god... to be able to control water like this and then trigger an explosion... this feeling is somewhat like the 'Ice Explosion Technique'?" In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was clicking its tongue in wonder.
As a million-year Soul Beast, it was broad-minded and knowledgeable. Especially when living in the Extreme North Land, it had heard of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's terrifying top-tier innate talent Spirit Ability—the Ice Explosion Technique. It was a terrifying ability that released the energy of Ultimate Ice in the form of an explosion.
As a Soul Beast born and raised in the Extreme North, it naturally knew the illustrious reputation of the "Ice Explosion Technique." Unfortunately, this talent was not something all Ice Jade Scorpions could awaken; even the Ice Empress, the queen of the clan, had not mastered it.
Tianmeng had privately thought that if the Ice Empress could possess the "Ice Explosion Technique," she might truly be qualified to challenge the position of the Snow Empress, the head of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North. However, Soul Beasts could not absorb Spirit Bones to obtain skills like humans, and obtaining similar abilities through other means... often meant walking a path toward evil, like those terrible spiritual-attribute Evil Eye Tyrants.
The Ice Empress's cold voice now also carried hard-to-conceal surprise and a hint of... complex emotion: "What? This little girl actually possesses an ability similar to the Ice Explosion Technique? Perhaps it should be called the Water Burst Technique... In terms of feeling, this is even more troublesome than our clan's Ice Explosion Technique! Because water is almost everywhere, there's no need to create or come into contact with ice in advance like with the Ice Explosion Technique."
"Combined with the Ultimate Water attribute of her Second Martial Soul... it's simply a tailor-made amplifier for this ability!"
In her words, there was even a rare hint of unwillingness and envy: "Dammit... comparisons are odious. Is this the so-called Legacy of a god? Why is it that as the queen of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, commanding thousands of ice Soul Beasts in the Extreme North, I cannot possess such a talent?"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt the Ice Empress's emotional fluctuations and quickly tried to comfort her, but it didn't know what to say. It could only follow her train of thought and analyze: "This... there's no way around it, Bingbing. Your clan's Ice Explosion Technique is a one-in-ten-thousand talent to begin with, something that can be sought but not easily found. Besides, if every Ice Jade Scorpion had it, the Extreme North Land would probably have been your domain long ago."
"That girl Furina is the Water God, after all. She's already started her God Trial. Maybe this ability was brought by a god-bestowed spirit bone obtained after completing some God Trial? It's different from our mundane cultivation route."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress's mood did not improve; instead, she grew more annoyed and took it out on him: "Whose side are you on? Praising others while belittling our own!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately shuddered and, full of survival instinct, quickly stated its position: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I will always stand on your side, Bingbing! Our Ultimate Ice is also the best! One of a kind!"
"...Hmph, that's more like it." The Ice Empress snorted coldly, letting it off for the time being.
