Chapter 357 - 112: Fierce Battle
Shattering the iceberg, Lu Hong, with the enhancement of the Holy King’s support skill, had his strength, speed, and magic resistance greatly boosted. Originally, with the help of Body Refinement, Lu Hong had already achieved a high magic resistance of thirty percent. With the Holy King’s additional protection, his magic resistance shot up directly to fifty percent. The magic damage inflicted upon Lu Hong was only half of its actual power, a defensive capability that could be called extreme.
Lin Linhui furrowed his brows, not understanding why the countermeasures made by his teacher had failed. But now was not the time to think; he activated the Flowing Water Form again, dodging Lu Hong’s slash as a deep blue light emerged from the tips of his fingers.
"Flash Freeze!" Another powerful strike. Starting from Lin Linhui, a wave of cold air swept outwards, freezing even the air in its path, as if intending to imprison the entire arena within the protective barrier.
Lu Hong stepped back several paces to avoid the brunt of the attack, unfamiliar with this skill and therefore unsure of its power. As he retreated, he was also pondering countermeasures.
"What’s there to fear? Isn’t my assist skill strong enough? He’s only at the Second Transition, while damn it, I have a Third Transition skill, you’re scared of what?!" The Holy King protested loudly from within the bronze greatsword, invisible to Lu Hong, yet full of confidence in his own skill.
"Shut up!" Lu Hong snapped irritably before stirring up Pure Steel Battle Energy to create a ripple, but the moment they touched, the strange coldness attempted to seep through Lu Hong’s battle energy, trying to invade his core.
Lu Hong immediately disconnected from his battle energy and retreated further. Lin Linhui’s skill was truly eerie.
Flash Freeze..., Anna silently repeated the name from the sidelines. As a great Water Mage, this was the first time she’d heard of this skill. Could it be a hidden skill?
Only Zun Long, looking down on the arena and the spreading coldness, knew the skill’s origin was not simple. It was discovered in a chaotic ruin, a unique skill he barely acquired after a narrow escape from death. It wasn’t strictly a water-based skill; rather, it was a fusion of water and curse abilities. Thus its coldness had a special ability to cling to anything it touched.
Eventually, Lu Hong had no more room to retreat, as Lin Linhui directed the cold air to close in around him.
