"Is it the Tang Sect?"

Kong Deming was somewhat surprised to hear this name from his disciple.

However, the techniques Su Yu applied in this soul tool indeed bore similarities to the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect's hidden weapons declined after the emergence of soul tools, but that didn't mean the Sun and Moon Empire was unaware of the Tang Sect's existence.

"The Tang Sect…"

Prompted by his disciple's mention, Kong Deming began to pay attention to the hidden weapon techniques of the Tang Sect.

While the hidden weapons had been rendered obsolete by soul tools, their technology might still accelerate the development of soul tools.

That was worth noting.

"Elder Kong, I'll take these two siblings back to recover," Jing Hongchen said, hurrying to leave with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

Healing the two was one reason, but he was also eager to verify the insights Su Yu had provided.

He sensed that his breakthrough might just come from this newfound understanding!

While he had a vague idea about humanoid soul tools, he had no concrete approach until now. However, he now had real ideas about the technology behind soul armor!

A simple soul armor was still just an external object.

Its design made it more suitable for combat, but what if the soul armor could evolve further to integrate with the soul master, complementing each other?

Previously, Jing Hongchen hadn't known how to proceed.

But today, he had a direction.

*Soul Tool Formation!*

Soul Tool Formations were the foundation of everything.

These formations connected the soul tools and could also be integrated with the martial soul, utilizing the relationships between the formations.

Everything was so clear now!

"Xiao Yu, this is the reward I promised you."

Kong Deming took out two treasures he had prepared long ago.

"The Divine Light Shield has a triggering feature, allowing it to activate three times of protection, each capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Title Douluo."

Su Yu accepted the Divine Light Shield and immediately wore it as a necklace.

"The Grade Nine Snow Lotus will allow your martial soul to undergo a transformation. You should restore your state first, and then you can refine it here while I protect you."

The Grade Nine Snow Lotus in Kong Deming's hands emanated a chilling aura, yet it was also infused with vibrant life force.

Su Yu nodded and sat down right there. With his first and second soul rings shining, he activated two soul skills, restoring his condition to its peak within an hour.

He hadn't fully recovered from the injuries sustained during battle, but he was no longer in critical shape.

"Teacher."

Kong Deming handed the Grade Nine Snow Lotus to Su Yu and stood by to guard him.

Su Yu plucked a petal from the Snow Lotus and placed it in his mouth.

The petal melted upon entry, sending a wave of icy soul power rushing into Su Yu's body.

One by one, the petals were refined by Su Yu. After refining nine petals, his soul power had already surged to the pinnacle of level thirty-five.

Keep in mind, he had just broken through to level thirty-five the night before!

The nine petals were merely an appetizer, allowing his body to adapt to the power of the Snow Lotus. Su Yu then retrieved a concentrated mass of the flower's core, which radiated a cooling aura, and consumed it.

The rich life force combined with the icy soul power filled his meridians as Su Yu operated his meditation technique, refining this energy with all his might.

Time passed.

It took Su Yu three days to fully refine this life force and soul power. At this moment, the area around him was blooming with Blue Silver Grass, radiating vibrant life energy, while behind him loomed the ethereal shadow of a Blue Silver Grass.

Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, Su Yu's version emitted a silvery glow, and the stems bore silver patterns.

Additionally, even the shadow of his martial soul radiated a dense life energy.

"It seems the evolution of the martial soul has been very successful."

Kong Deming let out a sigh of relief, sensing the life force within Su Yu's martial soul and nodding in approval. This level of life attribute could already be considered a top-tier martial soul.

Coupled with Su Yu's self-created soul skills and combat techniques, he could undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle among soul masters of the same level.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.

His soul power surged.

"My soul power has broken through to level thirty-eight!"

The Grade Nine Snow Lotus contained immense life force and soul power, and after refining it, Su Yu's martial soul not only underwent a transformation but also increased his soul power by three levels!

While it couldn't compare to celestial herbs, such effects were still extraordinary.

It's important to note that any natural treasure that promotes the evolution of a martial soul is already an unparalleled opportunity.

The effects of this Grade Nine Snow Lotus surpassed those of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"However, if the Grade Nine Snow Lotus has such an effect, how incredible must the celestial herb's effects be?" Su Yu thought to himself.

"How is it? Has your martial soul changed in any way?" Kong Deming asked.

Su Yu nodded, feeling the changes in his martial soul.

The most significant change was that his martial soul now had its own domain! During the transformation process, a domain was born and merged with his self-created soul skill, Blue Silver Domain.

Now, the Blue Silver Domain was no longer just a soul skill created by Su Yu but a natural talent of his martial soul.

It also exhibited the true effects of a domain. Within the domain, the growth of Blue Silver Grass increased tenfold, and as the number of Blue Silver Grass around him increased, Su Yu's soul power recovery, stamina recovery, explosive power, and soul skill effects all experienced significant boosts.

Additionally, and most importantly to Su Yu, his speed also received an enhancement within the Blue Silver Domain.

Besides the domain, there were many other benefits from the evolution of his martial soul.

First and foremost, Su Yu's three primary soul skills became even more powerful, as these skills relied on the life attributes of the Blue Silver Grass.

"I also gained ice resistance."

With such effects, Su Yu was already quite satisfied.

In addition to the changes in his martial soul, Su Yu himself experienced tremendous improvements.

His soul power had broken through to level thirty-eight, and his physical constitution had also greatly improved.

"My body can now handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring with little difficulty."

Su Yu had been practicing body tempering techniques all along and had further refined his physique daily with stellar energy after obtaining his first soul ring. He followed a life path, and every time he absorbed a soul ring and increased his soul power level, the life force from the Blue Silver Grass that nurtured his body optimized the tempering effects.

For the second ring, he absorbed a thousand years, and for the third ring, five thousand years!

Gradually absorbing soul rings beyond his level had already laid a solid foundation for him. Now, having consumed the Grade Nine Snow Lotus, his constitution had improved again, making it completely feasible for him to handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Of course, just to be safe, it was best to find a piece of ten-thousand-year whale gel to refine before absorbing the soul ring.

"As for the soul shock that comes with the ten-thousand-year soul ring—"

To be honest, Su Yu wasn't worried about this at all.

He even hoped it would be intense, the more severe, the better.

"Time to give Elder Yi some updates."

*Sun-Moon Hall.*

After Jing Hongchen stabilized Meng Hongchen's condition and handed her over to Xiao Hongchen for care, he eagerly returned to his office.

He began sketching and writing on paper, listing various complex core formations.

On the table lay dozens of books related to core formations.

"Formations that enhance martial souls…"

"Linking between formations—this I know, it's similar to the connections between soul tool armor components."

"…"

Brothers, I'm finally going to get a recommendation, so give me some support! I need you to click for continued reading these next couple of days—it's very important. Thanks a lot!!!

Seeking continued support!!!

This is the second update on the twenty-second. There will be updates at noon and night, and I won't skimp on them.
