The Soul-guiding Armor has already begun to emerge in this era.
Although difficult to make, there are always high-level Soul Guides capable of crafting them.
The Soul-guiding Armor worn by Meng Hongchen is the work of Mirror Hongchen.
After Meng Hongchen put on a few armor pieces, Kong Deming glanced unexpectedly at Mirror Hongchen. With his keen eye, he could naturally tell that this was an unfinished Soul-guiding Device.
If completed, it would be a full set of Sixth-level Soul-guiding Armor.
It seems Mirror's research on Soul-guided Armor has become more profound.
Now Meng Hongchen only has six armor pieces, falling short of the Sixth-level Soul-guiding Device, barely reaching the level of a Fourth-level Soul-guiding Device.
Yet even so, the mutual amplification between pieces can enhance its defense capabilities to reach the top tier among Fourth-level Soul-guiding Devices.
If the pieces were assembled and amplified amongst themselves under linkage, they might reach the defense level of Seventh-level Soul-guiding Devices.
The key is, this is armor!
A Soul-guiding Device crafted in the form of armor is more significant in practical combat than any other type of defensive Soul-guiding Device.
Even Invincible Shields fall short in actual combat compared to armor.
...
With the Soul-guiding Armor ahead, countless thoughts emerged, and Su Yu forced himself not to lose focus.
The effect of the Third Soul Skill lasts for one minute, and ten seconds have already passed.
On the other side, Meng Hongchen, having already made a move, naturally wouldn't retreat from occupying the domain.
The soul rings around her flashed.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Toad Poison!"
On the stage, the toxic intertwining of ice and fire spread rapidly.
"Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring!"
The already intense poison now became even stronger.
Su Yu's Second Soul Ring sparkled.
"Second Soul Skill, Purple Moon Purification!"
His Blue Silver Grass was corroded by the poison yet burst forth with tenacious Life Force. Although unable to completely clear the poison, it temporarily suppressed it.
The effect of the Second Soul Skill was simultaneously applied to Su Yu, preemptively relieving the impending weakness from the Third Soul Skill.
The First Soul Ring glimmered.
"First Soul Skill, Star Spirit Power!"
Su Yu's depleted stamina rapidly recovered, along with his Soul Power.
"Blue Silver Absorption!"
Su Yu performed his self-created Soul Skill, extracting toxins using the Blue Silver Grass within the Blue Silver Domain, preventing poison from infecting his body.
However, ironically, the Soul Power reinfused by the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Domain could no longer be absorbed by him.
The channel for reinfused Soul Power by the Blue Silver Grass in the domain was closed by Su Yu, relying only on the First Soul Skill to restore Soul Power.
...
With Meng Hongchen's cooperation, Xiao Hongchen attacked confidently, opening fire madly.
Su Yu avoided Xiao Hongchen's Soul-guided Cannon while also dealing with Meng Hongchen's aggression.
If not for his strong Spiritual Power, he wouldn't be able to manage this kind of response.
"Third Soul Skill, Ice Refraction!"
With each attack, Meng Hongchen left behind Mirror Ice Plates on the stage, allowing her to change positions through the refracted light.
Su Yu found it extremely strenuous to counter.
"Primarily, the ice and fire poison severely damage the Blue Silver Grass."
Su Yu felt helpless inside.
His rampant Life Force has already made Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass considerably resistant against poison and other aspects.
However, the combination of ice and fire along with poison and the attributes that are nearing extremity, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass struggles to cope.
"I must acquire the Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus."
Consuming the Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus will further enhance the Life Attribute of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, significantly boosting ice resistance as well.
Su Yu continually condensed the Blue Silver Bursting Spear, restraining Meng Hongchen's movement while seeking opportunities.
"Vajra Summoning Wood!"
From all directions, Blue Silver Grass gathered, imprisoning Meng Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen's Third Soul Skill is not endlessly usable and requires a cooldown period.
Now is that cooldown period.
Blue Silver Grass from all directions immobilized her as a Blue Silver Bursting Spear struck.
Bam!
The Blue Silver Bursting Spear pierced, hitting Meng Hongchen's chest.
The defensive power of the Soul-guiding Armor was formidable, and this strike could not penetrate its defense.
However, the impact force made Meng Hongchen's face turn pale.
Simultaneously, Blue Silver Grass entwined once more.
At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Domain seemed to be in frenzy, pouncing on Meng Hongchen, tightly confining her.
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Hongchen's shells followed one after another.
Su Yu hurriedly dodged.
At this time, the timeframe for the Third Soul Skill had already passed.
Due to earlier activation of the Second Soul Skill and First Soul Skill relief, he now appeared calm in Soul Power without showing signs of weakness.
"Third Soul Skill, Burst Mark!"
Su Yu erupted another Life Mark.
Meng Hongchen was bound, and Xiao Hongchen was once again approached by Su Yu.
A thick Blue Silver Bursting Spear crashed, sending him flying into the air.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Gold Sacrifice!"
Up in the air, Xiao Hongchen directly performed the Fourth Soul Skill, all the turrets on his body changing directions, firing towards Su Yu, limiting his positions to prevent a finishing hit, thus eliminating himself.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Nourishment!"
On the other side, Meng Hongchen also performed her Fourth Soul Skill.
Harnessing fire as the source, she activated Ice Toad Poison, converting it into pure energy to nourish herself, elevating her attack attributes to their peak.
The activated ice poison raised her attribute attack to its pinnacle, instantly corroding away all the Blue Silver Grass tightly binding Meng Hongchen.
Only an outer layer of crazily approaching Blue Silver Grass remained.
Witnessing this scene, Kong Deming also thought Su Yu was about to lose.
After all, smiling Meng Hongchen and dreaming Meng Hongchen, liberated, were simultaneously in their prime states, making it difficult for Su Yu to manage.
The most critical part is that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen possess the Soul Fusion Skill!
Judging from their current states.
The time to perform the skill is approaching.
If they don't utilize it soon, their states will be insufficient for execution.
Nonetheless, despite Su Yu being close to losing the battle, his performance still amazed Kong Deming.
A Soul Venerable, able to fight the two Soul Sects including Fourth-level Soul Guides to this extent is already quite remarkable.
Although Meng Hongchen hasn't yet advanced to a Fourth-level Soul Guide, with that half set of armor, she essentially possesses the equivalent capacity.
...
The battlefield situation indeed evolved as Kong Deming anticipated, and Su Yu's situation soon became precarious.
"Sigh, I guess I'm still a bit lacking?"
Su Yu knew that relying solely on his Martial Soul could get him only this far.
"But don't forget, I'm also a Soul Guide!"
Su Yu grinned.
Seeing his smile, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.
They hastened their attacks.
Shells boomed, ice poison approached.
Su Yu suddenly accelerated.
The Blue Silver Domain was broken by Meng Hongchen.
But so what?
My fastest speed doesn't rely on the Blue Silver Domain to activate.
Underfoot, Su Yu appeared with a jet accelerator.
The Douluo Continent includes Flying Soul-guiding Devices.
It also has various auxiliary Soul-guiding Devices.
But so far, no one has truly utilized these Soul-guiding Devices to their fullest in real combat.
"Today, destined to be recorded in the annals of history!"
