Kong Deming laid out the challenge: defeat the siblings, Xiaohong Chen and Meng Hongchen!

Su Yu felt a sense of helplessness about this.

He had previously declined their challenge, and now he was being asked to fight them.

Is this fate?

In truth, Su Yu had no fear of the siblings. If not for the fact that he couldn't kill them, he even had the ability to take them out in an instant.

The insertion technique was still quite powerful in low-level battles.

Below the Soul Master rank, as long as Su Yu could find an opportunity to spread the Blue Silver Grass seeds to their vital points, they would already have lost their chance.

Once one reaches the Soul Master rank, they can initially form a protective barrier with their soul power.

This can be likened to a protective aura; however, the strength of this protection varies depending on the soul master's individual capabilities.

At the Soul Master level, it becomes quite difficult to spread the Blue Silver Grass inside an opponent's body.

But there's still hope. After all, not all Soul Masters are constantly using soul power to protect themselves.

As one progresses, the means of defense for Soul Masters become increasingly formidable.

Even non-defensive soul masters at the Titled Douluo level can create a protective barrier with soul power that even Soul Emperors or Soul Saints may find hard to break.

Methods that rely on entering the opponent's body through their mouth or nose to inflict damage would certainly be ineffective.

But this is merely a technique applied to the insertion technique; the soul skill itself can be utilized in other ways as well.

By combining it with other powerful offensive soul skills, it can still wound enemies and cause secondary damage.

Returning to the main point.

In the absence of knowledge about Su Yu, there is a possibility that the siblings could be defeated in an instant.

Even if it doesn't result in an instant kill, Su Yu has the ability to deal with both of them.

All three of his soul rings enhance vitality, ensuring that both the quantity of his soul power and his recovery ability are not inferior to theirs.

This advantage comes from the extreme enhancement of his life attributes.

Furthermore, during this period of training, Su Yu's mental strength has also surpassed that of soul masters at the same level, making him even stronger than Xiaohong Chen.

With two condensed runes radiating an exceptionally rich purple light, his mental strength has increased several times in both quality and quantity compared to three months ago.

His only major drawback is that the extreme life attribute soul rings do not provide any offensive soul skills.

However, this shortcoming has been compensated for by the numerous self-developed soul skills Su Yu has created.

The advantage is mine!

After this analysis, Su Yu is fully capable of defeating the siblings.

His confidence caught Kong Deming's attention.

He hoped this disciple would bring him even more surprises.

Kong Deming felt a growing expectation for Su Yu's performance.

"Hmph! Do you think you can just challenge me, Xiaohong Chen?"

Upon hearing of Su Yu's challenge, Xiaohong Chen turned her head to look at the sky, her expression filled with arrogance.

"Are you going to fight or not?"

"I will!"

"Dream, do you want to join in?"

"Is that allowed?"

Su Yu initially believed that his teacher's challenge was to defeat both siblings simultaneously.

In his understanding, this indeed counted as a test for him.

After all, he was absolutely confident in winning against either of them individually, but taking on both at once might be somewhat difficult.

The siblings possessed the martial soul fusion technique, Red Dust Affection, which was what Su Yu feared most.

"Before, I didn't have any backing, so I couldn't freely show my abilities.

But now my teacher is the strongest support in the Sun Moon Empire, so I no longer need to hide.

I'll showcase my talent, which will be beneficial for my development."

Su Yu decided to give it his all in this battle.

"This kid thinks he can take on both of them?" Kong Deming observed the three figures standing on opposite sides of the makeshift arena in the royal family's back mountain, incredulously.

On the arena, Su Yu stood at one end, while Xiaohong Chen and Meng Hongchen stood at the other.

Jing Hongchen stood respectfully to the side, surprised by Su Yu's confidence.

He was about to simultaneously challenge both Xiaohong and Meng, not realizing that the siblings possessed a martial soul fusion technique.

"Hmph, Su Yu, you're too arrogant to challenge both me and Meng at once," Xiaohong Chen declared proudly.

He turned to his sister and warned, "Meng, don't interfere; I can teach him a lesson by myself!"

Su Yu had previously rejected his challenge, and now he was back, wanting to fight.

Regardless of Su Yu's reasons, Xiaohong Chen felt disrespected.

He decided it was time to teach this newcomer a good lesson.

"The battle begins!"

Jing Hongchen took on the role of the referee, stepping to the side of the arena to announce the start of the match.

The three immediately summoned their respective martial souls.

"Meng!"

Xiaohong Chen, fearing his sister might jump in, reminded her once more.

He unleashed his Three-Legged Golden Toad martial soul, with four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—floating beside him.

Among the four soul rings, the first three shone brightly. In the blink of an eye, numerous cannons sprouted from Xiaohong Chen's body.

"First soul skill: Metal Control!"

This skill enhances his ability to control metals and increases his affinity for gold elements.

"Second soul skill: Golden Boiling!"

This skill puts his soul power into a boiling state, enhancing the power of any soul skills used in this state, accelerating their usage speed, and significantly increasing his control over metals. He can absorb and manipulate gold elements from the air, thereby reducing the soul power consumed when using soul devices.

"Third soul skill: Metal Condensation!"

This skill briefly solidifies controlled metals and metal elements, allowing him to use mental strength to carve the core of a soul device, creating temporary soul devices from the controlled metals and elements.

It must be said that Xiaohong Chen's martial soul and soul skills perfectly amplify his combat with soul devices.

Whether it's enhancement, consumption, recovery, or armament, he excels in all aspects.

Oh right, his fourth soul skill should also be an explosive-type soul skill.

In an instant, Xiaohong Chen completed his armament as the battle commenced.

Meng Hongchen unleashed her martial soul, her red hair turning white, and her blue eyes transforming into a deep crimson.

However, she merely released her martial soul.

In her view, Su Yu was indeed a bit overconfident.

Xiaohong Chen was already a high-level Soul Master, boasting a soul power level of 48, and had recently advanced to a fourth-level soul master!

Although he hadn't yet replaced all his equipment with fourth-level soul cannons, even using third-level soul cannons, he could unleash a much greater power at the fourth-level soul master level.

On the other side, Su Yu was also entering battle mode.

Blue Silver Grass instantly spread throughout the entire arena around him!

The overwhelming life force was invigorating.

However, as his opponent, Xiaohong Chen felt tense, sensing a pervasive malice.

"Blue Silver Domain!"

After years of exploration, Su Yu had developed this soul skill.

The Blue Silver Grass on the arena desperately took root, drawing energy to nourish Su Yu.

At the same time, Xiaohong Chen finally unleashed his full power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A storm of cannon fire rained down.
