A humongous explosion appeared in the middle of the arena.
The powerful storm inside the arena immediately destroyed all the smoke the explosion had created, revealing Shang.
Shang's body was nearly destroyed. His entire body was filled with cracks and burns.
Shang had offset the power of the explosion by cooling his body rapidly, but that process required more control than Shang had.
If Shang cooled his body a little too much, he would completely freeze, stopping the function of his body and his mind in an instant.
So, Shang had to err on the side of heat. It was better for parts of his body to burn away than to risk his brain freezing and being unable to think or act.
The damage inside Shang's body was severe, but he immediately used his life energy to heal himself.
