Soul tool armor had already begun to emerge in this era.

Although it was difficult to craft, there were always high-level soul engineers capable of creating it.

The soul tool armor that Meng Hongchen was wearing was a creation of Jing Hongchen.

Kong Deming glanced at Jing Hongchen with surprise when Meng Hongchen donned several pieces of the armor. With his expertise, it was clear to him that this soul tool wasn't fully completed yet.

When fully finished, it would become a complete set of level six soul tool armor.

It seemed that Jing's research on soul tool armor had reached a deeper level.

Currently, Meng Hongchen only wore six armor components, which did not make it a level six soul tool yet—barely reaching the standard of a level four soul tool.

Even so, the synergy between the parts increased its defensive capabilities, putting it among the top tier of level four soul tools.

If all the pieces were assembled, their mutual amplification and interaction could potentially elevate its defense to the level of a grade seven soul tool.

The key was—it was armor!

Soul tool armor, in the form of protective gear, had far more practical value in combat than other types of defensive soul tools.

Even an invincible shield was not as practical in real battle as armor.

With the soul tool armor in front of him, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yu's mind, but he forced himself to stay focused.

The effect of his third soul skill would last one minute, and ten seconds had already passed.

On the other side, since Meng Hongchen had already entered the fight, she wasn't going to withdraw.

Her soul rings gleamed beside her.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Toad's Poison!"

On the arena, a toxic mix of ice and fire spread.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring!"

The already potent poison intensified further.

Su Yu's second soul ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Purple Moon Purification!"

His Blue Silver Grass, now corroded by the poison, burst with resilient life energy. Though it couldn't completely neutralize the poison, it suppressed it for the moment.

The effect of the second soul skill also extended to Su Yu himself, alleviating the exhaustion that the third soul skill would soon bring.

His first soul ring flashed.

"First Soul Skill, Star Spirit Power!"

Su Yu's depleted stamina rapidly recovered, and his soul power was restored as well.

"Blue Silver Absorption!"

Su Yu activated his self-created soul skill, using the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Domain to absorb the poison, preventing it from spreading to his body.

However, because of this, he couldn't absorb the soul power being replenished by the Blue Silver Grass in the domain.

The soul power feedback from the Blue Silver Grass was cut off, leaving Su Yu relying solely on the recovery from his first soul skill.

With Meng Hongchen assisting him, Xiao Hongchen focused on his offense, relentlessly firing his soul cannons.

While dodging Xiao Hongchen's attacks, Su Yu also had to fend off Meng Hongchen's strikes.

If not for his formidable mental strength, he wouldn't have been able to cope with such overwhelming pressure.

"Third Soul Skill, Ice Reflection!"

With every attack, Meng Hongchen left mirrored ice plates on the arena floor. Through the refracted light from these plates, she was able to shift her position at will.

Su Yu was struggling to keep up.

"The real problem is the combined damage from the ice poison and fire poison on my Blue Silver Grass," Su Yu thought with frustration.

His Blue Silver Grass had already reached a significant level of resistance due to its intense vitality, allowing it to withstand poison relatively well.

However, the combination of ice, fire, and poison, combined with their near-extreme properties, made it exceedingly difficult for his Blue Silver Grass to hold up.

"I must get my hands on that Nine-Grade Snow Lotus."

By consuming the Nine-Grade Snow Lotus, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul would gain another boost in its life attributes, significantly enhancing its resistance to ice as well.

Su Yu continuously condensed Blue Silver Critical Spears, trying to restrict Meng Hongchen's movements while looking for an opening.

"Diamond Wood Bind!"

Blue Silver Grass converged from all directions, binding Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen's third soul skill wasn't without limits—it had a cooldown period.

Right now, that cooldown period had arrived.

The Blue Silver Grass ensnared Meng Hongchen from all directions, and a Blue Silver Critical Spear thrust toward her.

*Bang!*

The Blue Silver Critical Spear struck Meng Hongchen square in the chest. The soul tool armor's defense was formidable, preventing the spear from penetrating.

However, the impact left Meng Hongchen's face pale, while more Blue Silver Grass quickly wrapped around her.

Inside the Blue Silver Domain, the grass surged like a wild force, tightly binding Meng Hongchen.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Xiao Hongchen's cannon fire followed immediately.

Su Yu swiftly dodged the blasts.

By now, the time limit for his third soul skill had passed. Thanks to the preemptive activation of his second and first soul skills, Su Yu was not weakened, just calm as his soul power settled.

"*Third Soul Skill, Explosive Mark!*"

Once more, Su Yu unleashed a Life Mark.

Meng Hongchen remained immobilized, and Su Yu once again closed in on Xiao Hongchen. A thick Blue Silver Critical Spear slammed into him, sending him flying into the air.

"*Fourth Soul Skill, Sacrifice of Gold!*"

While airborne, Xiao Hongchen activated his fourth soul skill, redirecting all his cannons toward Su Yu. The barrage limited Su Yu's movements, preventing him from delivering a final blow to eliminate him.

On the other side, Meng Hongchen also activated her fourth soul skill.

"*Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Rebound!*"

Using fire as her core, Meng Hongchen ignited the Ice Toad's poison, converting it into pure energy that rebounded back into her body, amplifying her attack attributes to their peak.

As her ice poison was fully triggered, the strength of her elemental attacks surged. The Blue Silver Grass binding her was instantly corroded, leaving only the outermost layers still swarming toward her.

Watching this unfold, Kong Deming believed that Su Yu was about to lose.

After all, with both Xiao and Meng Hongchen freed and now at their strongest, Su Yu seemed unable to handle the situation.

What was more concerning was that Xiao and Meng Hongchen possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Given their current state, it seemed they were nearing the moment to unleash it.

If they didn't act soon, they wouldn't be in the right condition to use it at all.

However, even though Su Yu appeared on the verge of defeat, Kong Deming couldn't help but be impressed.

A Soul Elder battling two Soul Ancestors, both also skilled as level-four soul engineers, and holding his own to this extent was remarkable.

Though Meng Hongchen hadn't yet advanced to a level-four soul engineer, the partial soul tool armor she wore made her comparable to one.

As expected, the battlefield situation quickly turned dangerous for Su Yu.

"Ah, so I'm still a bit short after all?" Su Yu thought, acknowledging that with just his martial soul alone, this was as far as he could go.

"But don't forget," he grinned, "I'm also a soul engineer!"

Seeing his smile, Xiao and Meng Hongchen were struck by a sense of unease.

Their attacks sped up—cannon fire thundered, and the deadly ice poison drew closer.

Suddenly, Su Yu accelerated.

Though Meng Hongchen had broken his Blue Silver Domain, so what?

His fastest speed didn't depend on the Blue Silver Domain alone.

Beneath his feet, a jet propulsion device appeared.

In the world of Douluo, flying soul tools existed, as did various support-type soul tools.

Yet no one had truly maximized the potential of these soul tools in actual combat—until now.

"Today," Su Yu declared with a grin, "will be a day written into the history books!"
