Jing Hongchen's mind was completely filled with Soul Tools.

It was as if Su Yu had opened the door to a new world for him.

That was right—formation arrays were not merely the core of Soul Tools.

Formation arrays themselves were the foundational structure of energy circulation in this world!

They were summaries of how energy operated, explanations of energy flow.

It was simply that Soul Engineers had discovered them and applied them to the creation of Soul Tools.

After Su Yu's "reminder," Jing Hongchen was truly bursting with inspiration.

Formation arrays could be integrated into Martial Souls to strengthen them.

Formation arrays could be integrated into Soul Masters' bodies to enhance their strength.

Formation arrays could even be integrated into Mental Power!

Jing Hongchen's thinking suddenly broadened.

And because his perspective had widened, he now had a clear direction for further upgrading Soul Tool Armor.

The set of Soul Tool Armor on Meng Hongchen's body was not yet complete. Once truly finished, it would consist of Thirteen Parts, covering the forehead, both shoulders, chest, both elbows, abdomen, both hips, both knees, and both hands.

Once assembled into a full-body defensive suit of armor, the thirteen parts would link together, producing defensive power second only to a Level 5 Invincible Shield!

When fully activated, it even had a chance of blocking a Soul Saint's all-out strike.

Of course, the Soul Power consumption would be enormous.

But its advantage was that it would not be ruined after use; it was reusable armor.

This was already Jing Hongchen's limit.

It was not that higher-level Soul Tool Armor could not be made. The issue was whether it could still be used after being made.

The Soul Tools for all thirteen sections each consumed Soul Power to operate, while the coordination between the components also required Soul Power to drive and synchronize them.

As the level of each component rose, the Soul Power consumption would increase accordingly. It was not something an ordinary Soul Master could withstand.

Besides Soul Power consumption, there was also the matter of control.

This was no longer just a problem with Soul Tool Armor, but a shared flaw of all high-level Soul Tools above level seven.

They felt sluggish to operate, with a sense of disharmony.

Unless they were custom-made and perfectly suited to the user, there would be an extremely obvious sluggishness when using high-level Soul Tools.

This was also why high-level Soul Tools appeared more often in the form of Soul Guidance Cannons.

Advanced Soul Tools that were not Soul Guidance Cannons would also become the signature works of their respective Soul Engineers.

This influence spread downward, causing lower-level Soul Tools to be researched more in the direction of Soul Guidance Cannons as well. After all, the inheritance in that direction was more complete, and its prospects were brighter.

But after today, everything might change.

Jing Hongchen knew very clearly that if his current idea succeeded, it would alter the course of Soul Tool history!

Using formation arrays to further integrate Soul Tools with Soul Masters, thereby greatly reducing the incompatibility between the two.

Jing Hongchen began conducting extensive research.

His office was filled with the unceasing sounds of forging rare metals.

Su Yu's cultivation life returned to normal.

This battle gave Su Yu a more intuitive understanding of his own strength.

Refining the Nine Petal Snow Lotus had also improved him in every aspect.

"The important thing is that Jing Hongchen and Teacher have both gotten busy."

The techniques Su Yu had revealed during this battle all had their own purposes.

"Will they be able to seize that inspiration?"

Cultivation had always been dull and tedious.

But adding the study of new things to that tedious cultivation could at least bring a little color to it.

That was exactly how Su Yu was.

While cultivating, he tirelessly studied Soul Tools.

His battle with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had exposed Su Yu's level as a Third-Level Soul Engineer.

It gave Xiao Hongchen, who considered himself a genius, a suffocating sense of pressure.

From beginning to end, Su Yu had only studied Soul Tools for five months, right?

Five months, and already a Third-Level Soul Engineer!

It was simply outrageous.

After the battle, Xiao Hongchen threw himself into study as though possessed, frantically crafting Soul Tools and strengthening his foundations.

Meng Hongchen remained rational, but she did not relax in the slightest either. One month later, she successfully earned certification as a fourth-level Soul Engineer.

The siblings' soul power cultivation had not fallen behind either. Two months after the battle, they both achieved breakthroughs.

Xiao Hongchen reached Level 49, while Meng Hongchen reached Level 48!

"Boss, you broke through again?"

Sensing the soul power fluctuation coming from Su Yu's direction, Qian Buduo cried out miserably.

Were they seriously not going to let him live?

Did they know how Fatty had spent the past half year?

Stop working so hard already!

"I finally broke through to Level Forty." Su Yu smiled.

As long as he acquired one more soul ring, he would become a thirteen-year-old Level Forty Soul Ancestor!

Six months had passed since his last challenge against the Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen siblings.

Su Yu had turned Thirteen Years Old two months ago.

It had also been less than a year since he obtained his Third Soul Ring.

Even Su Yu himself had not expected that he would be hunting soul beasts for another soul ring so soon.

The benefits at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were simply too good.

No, it would be more accurate to say that the cultivation resources in the Sun Moon Empire were simply too abundant.

It could be said that, apart from their exploration of Martial Souls and their accumulated techniques for Martial Soul cultivation, the Sun Moon Empire far surpassed the Three Great Empires of the original Douluo Continent in every other aspect, particularly in assisting Martial Soul cultivation.

Even Shrek could not compare!

It was not only the medicinal supplements that aided Martial Soul cultivation; the technology here for examining a soul master's condition was also the most advanced.

The latest instruments developed by Illustrious Virtue Hall could quantitatively assess every aspect of a soul master's abilities and provide precise values!

Martial Soul strength, the quality and quantity of soul power, physical fitness, and even the strength of one's Mental Power—all of it fell within the instruments' monitoring range!

This made the effects of cultivation far more intuitive, allowing Su Yu to cultivate in a more scientific and efficient manner.

There were also the pills Kong Deming had prepared for Su Yu after he acknowledged him as his teacher, which assisted with soul power cultivation.

All these factors had at least doubled Su Yu's Cultivation Speed!

Combined with the three levels of soul power granted by the Nine Petal Snow Lotus, as well as Su Yu's direct advancement to Level Thirty-Three after absorbing his Third Soul Ring

Only with so many factors combined did Su Yu have the chance to acquire his Third and Fourth Soul Rings in succession within less than a year.

"As for the Fourth Soul Ring, I'll have to choose the soul beast carefully here in the Sun Moon Empire."

Su Yu informed Jing Hongchen of his breakthrough to Level Forty.

As for why he had not gone to his own teacher, that had to start with the great battle at the Tang Sect Old Site not long ago.

In short, Kong Deming had gone in search of the Tang Sect's inheritance.

The outcome had not been very pleasant.

Kong Deming had been attacked by the Body Sect for no apparent reason, after which he confronted Shrek.

God Realm.

The God of Destruction's questioning voice resounded through the God Realm Committee.

"Tang San, you have overstepped your bounds!"

Tang San, who possessed both the Sea God and Asura God divine positions, wore an expression that plainly said none of this was his fault.

"The inheritance I left behind on the Douluo Continent was stolen—"

"As long as it is not an inheritance of a divine position, interfering with the Lower Realm's operations is a violation!"
