8: Chapter 8 Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Stewed Turtle with Ice and Fire
"Bang! Bang!"
"Oh, shit!"
Two figures screamed as they flew backward, crashing heavily into the blackboard, causing chalk dust to rain down.
"Four-Claw Entanglement! (Devil Entanglement)"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Four pitch-black vines shot out like agile snakes.
Before the two could even land, they were already bound into airtight dumplings.
"Hehehe, still want to treat us like soft persimmons?"
Niu Dachun stood on the right, gripping a giant Frying Pan in his hands.
Lu Mengmeng stood on the left, manipulating the black vines with her hands, a cunning glint in her eyes.
Lin Mo stood in the middle, holding a small alchemy furnace in his hand. All three wore playful expressions and let out a series of "Jie-jie-jie" cackles.
Previously, they couldn't win, and Lin Mo and his two companions had been bullied by these two quite often.
Now the tables had turned, and it was finally their turn to hold their heads high.
"Big!"
Lin Mo gave a low shout, and the alchemy furnace in his hand instantly expanded, transforming into a giant furnace two meters tall.
It slammed onto the floor with a "thud," shaking the desks and chairs.
The lid popped open with a "click," revealing a pitch-black interior.
"Mengmeng, throw them into the furnace. Today, Boss will stew you some turtle soup!"
"Heehee, okay, okay!" Lu Mengmeng giggled in response.
She flicked her hand, controlling the vines, and tossed the two bound figures into the giant alchemy furnace.
Lv Dagen and Song Wennuan had their mouths tightly bound by the vines and could only emit "woo-woo-woo" sounds of struggle, their eyes filled with panic.
"Which classmate's Martial Soul can release water? I'll give you the first bowl of soup later."
Lin Mo turned his head to look at the back of the classroom.
"Water, I don't have water... is ice okay?" A girl's voice sounded weakly, tinged with timidity.
"Ice? That's even better!" Lin Mo's eyes lit up. "Then we'll stew a pot of Ice and Fire Turtle Soup!"
The girl timidly walked forward and slowly released her Martial Soul.
The next moment, two white, fluffy fox ears suddenly popped out on her head, and a fluffy tail curled up behind her, making her look quite cute.
"Beast Martial Soul Snow Fox?" Lin Mo recognized it at a glance.
He couldn't help but take an extra look at Su Xiaoxiao, the female classmate who was usually timid.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao, who possessed the Snow Fox Martial Soul, raised her hands, and countless sharp icicles "whooshed" into the alchemy furnace.
"Woo-woo-woo!"
Lv Dagen and the other man in the furnace widened their eyes abruptly, a layer of white frost instantly covering their faces.
That sensation was simply bone-chillingly refreshing.
After the furnace was filled with ice, Lin Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Snap!"
Blazing flames instantly rose from the bottom of the furnace.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
Soon, the ice inside the furnace melted from the heat, emitting waves of steam that filled the entire classroom in no time.
"Hehehe, let me fan the flames."
Niu Dachun used his Frying Pan as a fan and started fanning.
Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but marvel, does this count as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
"The Squad Leader is coming!"
Just then, someone shouted.
"Damn, time to bolt!"
Lin Mo nimbly turned and ran.
Da Chun and Lu Mengmeng also retracted their abilities and followed him, laughing and joking.
Without the Soul Power output, the alchemy furnace and Devil Vine immediately dematerialized, finally dissipating into starlight.
"Plop!"
Lv Dagen and Song Wennuan landed in a sorry state.
Along with a puddle of water.
At this moment, two boys and one girl just stepped into the classroom.
They frowned at the scene before them.
Lv Dagen and Song Wennuan were lying in a puddle of water, soaked through, their lips frozen purple, and ice shards still hanging from their hair.
They were shivering as they helped each other up, looking just like two drowned rats.
The air was filled with damp water vapor, mixed with a faint, lingering smell of something burning.
"What is going on here?" The leading girl's voice carried a hint of coldness.
Her gaze swept across the class, but she didn't notice the three people in the back row pretending to read.
No one dared to speak.
That "Ice and Fire Stewed Turtle" performance just now was too shocking; no one wanted to be in the line of fire.
Lv Dagen saw Vice Squad Leader and, as if seeing a savior, shouted with a crying tone:
"Squad Leader! You have to stand up for us! Lin Mo and the others are bullying us! They threw us into the furnace and froze and boiled us, they almost killed us!"
Song Wennuan nodded tremblingly, pointing to the back of the classroom, his hand shaking: "Yes! It was Lin Mo and the others! It's too much!"
Qin Ran frowned: "Lin Mo? He came to school again?"
"Yes, he and Niu Dachun are both here!"
"Hmph, why are these two losers still coming?" A tall boy behind Qin Ran sneered.
"And Lu Mengmeng is here too!"
Hearing Lu Mengmeng, the tall boy immediately shut his mouth.
If she were still just an auxiliary Martial Soul like before, he wouldn't be concerned, but now...
"Lin Mo!" Another boy following behind Qin Ran shouted toward the back.
Lin Mo was using a textbook to block his face, putting on an act.
Hearing himself being called, he slowly raised his head, raised an eyebrow, and looked toward the door: "Squad Leader, what's up?"
As he raised his head, Qin Ran and the other two finally noticed the movement in the back row.
Lin Mo had a nonchalant smile on his lips, and Niu Dachun was gripping a small Frying Pan.
Lu Mengmeng was chewing on a spicy strip and making a face at them.
Although the Soul Power fluctuations on the three of them weren't flashy, they were several times stronger than before.
Especially Lin Mo and Lu Mengmeng; the faint five-level and ten-level Soul Power fluctuations made the pupils of the two boys behind Qin Ran shrink.
How is this possible!
Lin Mo was shocking enough for them.
And this Lu Mengmeng was even more monstrous than him.
When her Martial Soul was still the Four-Colored Clover, she was only level four.
Now, after the mutation, she had reached level ten in just a few days.
Did she take drugs or something?
Qin Ran took two steps forward; she was wearing a neat, athletic outfit, her long hair tied into a high ponytail.
Her Martial Soul was an SS-rank Beast Martial Soul, "Ice Phoenix," with innate level ten Soul Power.
She was the number one genius of Linjiang No. 1 High School.
In Linjiang No. 1 High School, even the teachers had to give her some leeway.
"Is what Lv Dagen said true?" Qin Ran looked at Lin Mo expressionlessly.
"No way! It was clearly them who wanted to perform 'Ice and Fire' for us. If you don't believe me, ask the whole class."
Lin Mo spread his hands with an innocent look.
Perhaps terrified by the methods of Lin Mo and his two companions, the classmates all whispered in agreement: "Yes, that's right, it was the two of them themselves..."
Lv Dagen immediately jumped in agitation: "Nonsense! You, how can you lie with your eyes open... They were clearly trying to boil us alive."
"Oh?" Lin Mo's eyes turned cold, his tone threatening. "Then tell me, how did I boil you?"
"You..." Lv Dagen wanted to argue, but Song Wennuan suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
Lv Dagen immediately realized.
What was the point of continuing to argue?
Even if the Squad Leader spoke up for him, the three of them would at most be punished by cleaning the toilets.
Cleaning toilets was something these three were used to; what kind of harm could that cause?
Maybe it was even a reward.
What if after school, the three of them continued to retaliate?
What if they continued to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to boil them again?
Thinking of the suffocating Martial Soul Fusion Skill the three had just used, Lv Dagen couldn't help but shudder.
In the end, he could only sullenly admit: "Yes, yes, it was the two of us who wanted to perform 'Ice and Fire' for the classmates."
"Hmph, what losers!"
The tall Vice Squad Leader snorted coldly.
The other boy also glared at the two of them.
"Alright, since that's the case, you two hurry up and clean the floor, and let this matter be over." Qin Ran casually simplified the matter.
"Okay, okay, we'll go right now." Lv Dagen and Song Wennuan could only respond sullenly.
Qin Ran glanced at Lin Mo, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and turned back to her seat.
