"Blue Silver Wall!"
"Multiple Blue Silver Walls!"
All around Su Yu, Blue Silver Grass sprouted everywhere.
With Su Yu's soul power activated, a massive amount of Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew, converging to form layers of Blue Silver Walls.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, shells rained down on the intertwined Blue Silver Grass walls, shattering them.
Even though Su Yu had used his soul power to infuse life into the Blue Silver Grass to strengthen it as much as possible, it still couldn't withstand the soul cannons and was blown apart.
However, the sheer volume of Blue Silver Grass Su Yu summoned was enormous, and it managed to hold off the first round of bombardment.
"Second soul skill, Purple Moon Purification!"
The purple soul ring in Su Yu's second position flashed.
A millennium second ring!
Back when Su Yu absorbed a 1,100-year-old Purple Moon Orchid, it not only boosted the foundation of the Blue Silver Grass, making its vitality stronger, but also granted Su Yu a soul skill that purified negative statuses.
Activating the second soul skill removed negative effects and revived the Blue Silver Grass.
The flames that had scorched and shattered the Blue Silver Grass from the bombardment were extinguished, and the vitality within the grass surged once more.
Thanks to the incredible vitality built up by Su Yu's three soul rings, the recovery speed was already fast.
With the second soul skill boosting it further, the destroyed Blue Silver Wall reformed in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Su Yu used the opportunity to construct yet another Blue Silver Wall.
"What an impressive defense!"
Jing Hongchen, acting as the judge, couldn't help but marvel.
He knew the power of Xiao Hongchen's previous round of attacks.
Yet, Su Yu had blocked it so easily.
He also admired Su Yu's tactical response.
It wasn't just a matter of stacking multiple Blue Silver Walls for defense.
There was space between each layer, which helped buffer the impact, further weakening Xiao Hongchen's attacks with each barrier they struck.
"And that vitality is truly terrifying as well."
Su Yu's ability to reach this level was closely linked to his mastery of the Blue Silver Domain.
The hardest part of mastering the Blue Silver Domain wasn't simply creating a field of Blue Silver Grass to cover the area.
The real challenge was in seamlessly connecting the grass to himself.
Constantly absorbing energy to replenish Su Yu was one aspect.
The other was that, when Su Yu activated it, the grass could instantly draw energy and rapidly grow.
These two elements combined allowed Su Yu to cast his soul skills faster and with less energy consumption.
Although his Blue Silver Domain had yet to fully mature with amplification and weakening effects, it was already taking shape.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing this.
"Haha, I, Xiao Hongchen, love fighting turtle-shell-like enemies the most!"
His third soul ring glowed even brighter.
More soul cannons emerged from his body.
At the same time, his first and second soul rings also shone with radiant yellow light.
Another barrage of frenzied shots began.
Su Yu, observing Xiao Hongchen through the Blue Silver Grass in his domain with his spiritual power, couldn't help but feel speechless.
Does this kid really like shooting cannons that much?
It was obvious.
Apart from the smug look of satisfaction on Xiao Hongchen's face as he displayed his power, the rest of his expression was sheer excitement at firing cannons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another round of explosions echoed.
However, this time Su Yu wasn't planning to stay on the defensive.
Inside the Blue Silver Domain.
The Blue Silver Grass intertwined and wove together.
A vine of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Su Yu's waist.
With the help of the grass pulling him along, Su Yu moved swiftly within the Blue Silver Domain, his body cooperating with the motion of the grass.
The Blue Silver Wall couldn't withstand this round of bombardment.
With more concentrated missiles, and their increased power, the damage from this round far exceeded the previous one.
However, Su Yu was no longer under the multiple layers of Blue Silver Walls.
Using the pull of the Blue Silver Grass, he swiftly shifted his position, moving to Xiao Hongchen's flank.
Xiao Hongchen quickly sensed something was off and spotted Su Yu hidden within the Blue Silver Grass.
"When did that happen?"
Xiao Hongchen was puzzled.
But now wasn't the time for confusion.
"Blue Silver Critical Spear Array!"
Su Yu's soul power surged, his soul rings glowing brightly, and suddenly a burst of light flashed as something exploded into view.
"Third Soul Skill, Explosive Mark!"
Su Yu activated the first Life Mark, causing his soul power to boil over.
Xiao Hongchen's attack power was immense, and his all-encompassing bombardment with soul cannons was devastating, but it had a weakness—he lacked mobility.
Now, surrounding Xiao Hongchen from eight directions, massive dragons formed from Blue Silver Grass coiled and condensed into long spears.
The spears thrust forward in unison.
"Not good!"
Meng Hongchen, observing from the sidelines, hadn't expected the situation to change so quickly and cried out in surprise.
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and abandoned his plan to defend.
According to his strategy, his fifth soul ring would grant him a skill that rendered him immune to physical damage, fixing his current weakness.
He intended to have this ability in place before the next Soul Battle Tournament, and he was confident there would be no problem achieving it.
For that reason, he hadn't bothered to compensate for this flaw yet.
Once he acquired the fifth soul ring, his lack of mobility would naturally be resolved.
However, Su Yu had seized upon this weakness at the perfect moment.
Xiao Hongchen's fourth soul ring instantly lit up as his soul power ignited, and the energy waves from his soul cannons became even more terrifying.
Boom!
He chose to defend by attacking.
Xiao Hongchen unleashed a full-power barrage, covering all eight directions. The Blue Silver Critical Spears were bombarded and intercepted.
But Su Yu wasn't disappointed at all.
Using the gap caused by Xiao Hongchen's burst of firepower, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass tightened around his waist.
Unfortunately, the Blue Silver Domain was still in its infancy and didn't possess any spatial properties. Otherwise, this wouldn't be so troublesome, and he wouldn't need to rely on the Blue Silver Grass to shift his position.
Even so, Su Yu's speed was incredibly fast.
Within the Blue Silver Domain, he moved like a ghost.
"Thorn Kill Technique!"
"Blue Silver Bind!"
Blue Silver Grass sprouted from beneath Xiao Hongchen's feet, instantly binding him.
However, in the next moment, the grass quickly withered.
It was as if it had been scorched by intense flames or frozen by ice—it rapidly lost its vitality and life force.
Meng Hongchen had joined the battle.
"Who told you to interfere? I could've taken care of him myself!" Xiao Hongchen protested, clearly displeased.
But his tone lacked the confidence he had shown at the beginning.
After all, he had just barely avoided elimination.
Meng Hongchen, with her long, snow-white hair and blood-red glowing eyes, slowly stepped forward.
Behind her, a ghostly figure of a frog with an icy-blue body and eerie, glowing red eyes appeared.
The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad!
This was Meng Hongchen's martial soul.
Its greatest strength was its poison, cultivated by absorbing the extreme cold of the natural world.
Although the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad was primarily ice-based, its eyes were fire-based, making it incredibly unique. By alternating between ice and fire, it produced a deadly cold poison.
Meng Hongchen now began to take Su Yu seriously.
Six points of light glowed across her body.
The icy-blue light quickly transformed, forming an intricate, ice-blue half-armor.
Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the soul tool armor on Meng Hongchen, various thoughts racing through his mind.
