Wu Feng's Dragon's Fire had an extremely high temperature. Touching human skin for just a second or two would cause burns. However, she didn't expect that when she sprayed her Dragon's Fire onto the remaining ice and snow after Ice Star's attack, it only melted a very thin layer. Even with an increased output of Soul Power, she could only melt the surface, unable to thaw it completely.
It's said that fire melts ice, and water extinguishes fire. This is the principle of elemental interaction. But now, fire couldn't melt ice?!
"Use Dragon's Fire in Dragon's Fury state!"
Su Qingfeng reminded her at this moment. He seemed to have overestimated Wu Feng's fire element power, or perhaps he had underestimated his own Extreme Ice. It wasn't something that just any fire element could melt.
Extreme attributes stood above all other attributes, even suppressing effects would be greatly reduced, with minimal effect.
"Dragon's Fury!"
In the next moment, Wu Feng activated her Second Soul Skill. Red light burst from her, her second soul ring shone brightly, and the Dragon's Fire rising from her body suddenly turned dark red. The original half-body scale armor immediately became thicker, and while the red light in her eyes intensified, her left hand had completely transformed into a dragon claw.
In the Dragon's Fury state, her attack and defense power instantly soared. At the same time, it could amplify all her other Soul Skills. The heat of the Dragon's Fire increased almost instantly by hundreds of degrees, the temperature reaching five or six hundred degrees, causing the surrounding air to distort violently.
Imagine, ordinary ice would melt quickly when placed in boiling water approaching one hundred degrees. And the current temperature of the Dragon's Fire, not to mention ordinary ice, which could be dissolved instantly, even an iron block would turn red-hot within a few dozen seconds.
However, even at such high temperatures, the ice was only melting slowly, and it was putting a huge strain on Wu Feng's Soul Power.
Su Qingfeng's decision once again baffled the audience and Yan Shaozhe. Some people even thought it was ridiculous.
Just moments ago, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had protected Su Qingfeng, and now Su Qingfeng was turning around, throwing away a clear chance to win in order to save them.
"Using fire to attack ice. The ice melts, and they live. Is this special student trying to save them? Or does he lack combat experience and not understand this basic principle?"
"This is the most childish match I've seen since coming to Shrek Academy. They're all just flailing around."
However, a scene that surprised everyone soon unfolded.
Su Qingfeng controlled the power of the ice element, causing the ice to dissipate and breaking down the structure of the Extreme Ice. Dragon's Fire began to melt the ice at a visible rate.
The skin of the people trapped inside soon became visible, but due to the Extreme Ice's freezing effect, the skin of Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao was stiff, and they couldn't react immediately.
Then, a layer of white mist appeared on their bodies, a high-temperature mist that swirled around them, making it difficult to avoid.
After being frozen by the Extreme Ice, their skin became very fragile. Then, the ice covering their bodies melted and evaporated, not only raising the temperature but also directly causing continuous physical damage.
Even melting the Extreme Ice, which had been weakened by Su Qingfeng, was difficult. Soon, Wu Feng had almost exhausted her Soul Power.
But on the other side, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's situation had become abnormal.
When the Extreme Ice had just melted, they were almost unharmed. But three seconds after they regained their senses, their delicate skin began to turn red and dry.
Soon, a tearing sensation spread from their bodies, and their skin began to crack.
The three of them rolled on the ground, screaming in pain because they couldn't bear the evaporative reaction caused by the ice, water, and fire.
Su Qingfeng quickly used his Extreme Ice elements, covering Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao once again. The appropriate amount of Extreme Ice could alleviate the burns on their bodies, prevent their skin from continuing to crack, and also provide a cold compress to relieve the pain.
The situation eased, and Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong's gazes at Su Qingfeng were now filled not only with admiration and affection but also with awe.
Su Qingfeng's strength and ingenuity were unmatched among his peers.
Fortunately, Qingfeng-ge still cares about me and didn't really want to seriously injure us. Qingfeng-ge is too strong. Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and thought to himself.
Wang Dong was alarmed, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! My face! My face absolutely cannot be ruined! Qingfeng-ge doesn't hit people in the face, right? T^T"
Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up. While the other teachers and students were still trying to figure out the cause, he had already understood. If they didn't rescue them in time, the three students from Class One would suffer extensive skin cracking, potentially leading to disfigurement and even death.
He finally understood what Su Qingfeng meant by "experiment."
This idea was too bold. Previous soul masters had only thought about the concept of countering, knowing that water could extinguish fire and fire could melt ice. But almost no one had thought of using fire to evaporate water and cause adhesive composite burns.
"The outcome is decided. Quickly, have the healing-type teachers go up and treat the injured!"
When the headmaster spoke, the chief of instruction and the teachers below immediately took action, not daring to delay.
The sudden change left the students from the outer court completely baffled.
Tang Ya stamped her foot in frustration over Huo Yuhao's group's defeat. Then, she touched her head, unable to understand what had happened.
"What's going on? Ice and fire colliding should have significantly weakened the damage. Why did Huo Yuhao and the others get hurt even more?"
Bei Bei saw a hint of the problem and narrowed his eyes. "There's definitely something strange. I think it's because of the steam."
"Steam?"
Xu Sanshi walked over at this moment, arms crossed, and said calmly, "You're not too dense. It's true that the steam caused the damage, but it's not the only reason. That specially selected student's ice element isn't simple. After that Ice Star fell, it already hurt Huo Yuhao and the others. His ice element should have started to numb their bodies and weaken their skin at that point. That's what maximized the steam's power."
"But, the steam was ultimately formed because Wu Feng's Dragon's Fire burned. There was energy loss in between. Wouldn't the damage be less than if they were directly hit by Dragon's Fire?" Tang Ya questioned.
Bei Bei nodded as well. From a normal person's perspective, that assessment was correct.
Xu Sanshi shook his head and sighed. "That's why it wasn't a waste to come and watch the freshmen competition. If you only look at the direct damage from steam and flames, then yes, that's correct. But he combined it with the freezing effect of ice elements and also explored the principle of reducing resistance with ice elements.
That's completely different. A normal person would think he's wasting Soul Power. But this special student went against the grain, fully utilizing the principle of the mutual generation and restraint between ice and fire elements, and delivering the maximum damage."
"You have to understand, although the ice seal of the ice element can immobilize people, it's also like a layer of hard armor, protecting them. Trying to break it with brute force won't cause much direct damage. Therefore, Soul Masters who control ice elements either use the sharpness and hardness of ice elements to form ice cones, ice spears, ice swords, and other powerful Soul Skills, or they use control Soul Skills like ice sealing. But he, he actually played around with the reactions between two elements. He's a genius! Even as someone with an affinity for water-attribute elements, I couldn't have come up with this idea."
Xu Sanshi sighed. Because his Martial Soul was the Black Tortoise, and he had an affinity for water-attribute elements, he understood more than Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
On the field, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were speechless, staring at Su Qingfeng's back.
First, the Ice Star descended, amazing everyone, and then came the ice-fire evaporation, creating one of the elemental reactions.
