| Name | Ice Toad Poison |

| Source | Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul 60 61. |
| User | Meng Hongchen 61. |
| Attributes | Poison combining opposing ice and fire attributes 61 119. |
| First Appearance | The Martial Soul’s poison appears in combat in Chapter 60; Ice Toad Poison is named in Chapter 61 60 61. |
Properties
- Origin: The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad cultivates its deadly toxin by absorbing extremely cold Qi. Its body possesses the ice attribute, while its eyes possess the fire attribute; alternating these opposing powers produces its distinctive poison 119.
- Sensation: The toxin feels bone-piercingly cold but carries a faint trace of heat 61.
- Concentration: A faint mist can spread unnoticed, while intensified poison becomes visibly dense and may emit a foul, fishy smell 61 116 117.
- Early effects: Low concentrations slowly infiltrate the body and cause slight disturbances in Soul Power, making exposure difficult to notice during intense combat 117.
- Severe effects: Victims have suffered collapse, foaming at the mouth, convulsions, and bleeding from the mouth 80 117 127.
- Relative potency: Meng Hongchen can poison opponents one major realm above her. Those one realm below her are described as unable to resist unless their Martial Soul attributes counter hers 114.
Abilities & Applications
Airborne Poisoning
Meng Hongchen releases poison into the surrounding air, allowing it to accumulate before sharply increasing its potency 117 119.
- Her Martial Soul’s initial chill and poison can spread for dozens of meters 80.
- Sustained release can contaminate an entire battle stage 119.
- She can release the toxin without visibly summoning her Martial Soul, concealing it behind combat with Soul Tools 119.
- Close proximity and prolonged exposure increase the severity of poisoning 117.
- Poor coordination creates a risk of poisoning her own teammates 71.
Weapon Delivery
- Meng Hongchen infuses her Soul Tool longsword with poison, combining airborne exposure with repeated close-range attacks 80 117.
- Activating Ice Toad Poison together with Ice Poison Ring makes her Level 4 Soul Tool sword appear entirely ice-like 72.
Soul Skill Interactions
| Soul Skill | Interaction with the Poison |
|---|---|
| First Soul Skill: Ice Toad Poison | Greatly increases toxicity and produces the special cold poison associated with alternating ice and fire 61 116. |
| Second Soul Skill: Ice Poison Ring | Multiplies the toxin’s potency; simultaneous activation with Ice Toad Poison can form a massive ring surrounded by coiling ice and fire 61 80. |
| Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Feedback | Uses fire to stimulate Ice Toad Poison, transforming it into pure energy that feeds back into Meng Hongchen and maximizes her offensive attributes 116. |
Limitations & Countermeasures
| Countermeasure | Documented Effect |
|---|---|
| Xu Zhengyang’s toxin resistance | His prolonged training in Sunset Forest’s poisonous miasma developed resistance sufficient to render Meng Hongchen’s poison ineffective against him 62. |
| Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear | Its scorching nature counters both ice and poison. Xu Zhengyang also controls the force of his spear techniques to disperse airborne toxins 60 62. |
| Ultimate Ice | The toxin penetrates Ling Luochen’s Ice Radiance Ring and spreads along its ice, but has no effect on the ice protecting Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. The passage suggests Ultimate Ice as the explanation 117. |
| Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire Phoenix | Her Martial Soul and Soul Emperor-level strength leave her unafraid of Meng Hongchen’s poison 122. |
| Antidote | An antidote exists. Meng Hongchen promises to provide it after the tournament match ends but refuses to release it while the match remains unfinished 119. |
Backlash & Treatment
The poison can also harm its wielder. Failure to control its opposing ice and fire toxins can poison the Soul Master to death, contributing to the rarity of powerful Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad users 119.
Meng Hongchen already senses mild self-poisoning when Xu Zhengyang warns her about this danger. After a year of physical training, she confirms that the toxin’s erosion of her body has lessened 74 78.
| Method | Effect or Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Physical conditioning | Strengthens the body’s resistance and reduces toxin-induced pain, discomfort, and erosion; Meng Hongchen confirms improvement after training 78. |
| Top-grade Soul Bone | Xu Zhengyang recommends a strength-type or poison-attribute Soul Bone over ten thousand years old to contain the toxins and reduce bodily harm 78. |
| Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower Soul Ring | Proposed as a complete solution, preferably using a ten-thousand-year specimen. Its extreme toxicity and rarity make the method difficult to pursue 78. |
Notable Uses
| Encounter | Role and Outcome |
|---|---|
| Battle against Xu Zhengyang | Meng Hongchen fills the arena with amplified poison using her first and second Soul Skills. Xu Zhengyang withstands it and defeats her with Heavenly Dipper Poison Dragon Drill 61 62. |
| Class battle | She combines Ice Toad Poison and Ice Poison Ring before emerging from behind Qiu Yi to thrust at Xu Zhengyang’s abdomen 72. |
| Team assessment against Chen An | Airborne and sword-delivered poison go unnoticed until she intensifies the toxin. Chen An collapses, foaming at the mouth 80. |
| Tournament team battle against Shrek | Concealed release contaminates the stage before a sudden surge incapacitates three opponents and severely injures another. Dai Yueheng suffers particularly heavy exposure from sustained close combat 116 117 119. |
| Individual match against Xiao Xiao | Xiao Xiao collapses within minutes, foaming at the mouth and convulsing 127. |
