Hearing Su Yu's inquiry, Mirror Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to ask this question at least shows that Su Yu is still rational, and is in a phase of judgment and weighing the options.
"Xiao, explain the effects of Red Dust Shelter in detail." The simplified version of Red Dust Protection was called Red Dust Shelter by Mirror Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen, after careful recollection, began to describe the effects of Red Dust Shelter.
"Red Dust Shelter is indeed effective."
He recalled while speaking.
"However, the effect of Red Dust Shelter, when it comes to absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, is like trying to put out a large fire with a tiny cup of water.
The protection provided by Red Dust Shelter lasts only three seconds at most, and can trigger up to three times for a total of nine seconds.
Meanwhile, the soul shock intensity of a ten-thousand-year soul ring at its peak lasts at least three minutes.
There's no denying that every second might be the key factor that creates a miracle, but nine seconds compared to three minutes is still too little. To have such expectations is akin to gambling.
Moreover, three minutes is only the peak intensity time of the soul shock. Beyond these three minutes, there's an even more prolonged and equally terrifying psychic shock."
From Xiao Hongchen's words, Su Yu understood one thing.
Give up.
It's too dangerous.
"Nine seconds..."
Su Yu nodded, his expression relaxed considerably.
Red Dust Shelter is a seventh-level soul-guiding device, which certainly has the protective power to withstand the soul shock of this mutated sword grass.
Nine seconds, as Xiao Hongchen said, is too short compared to three minutes.
But in Su Yu's understanding, those nine seconds are already sufficient, even very long.
He was not worried about whether he could endure after nine seconds; he was worried that the moment he absorbed the soul ring, he would be killed by the burst of the mutated sword grass.
The sword intent of the mutated sword grass is pure, and even during soul ring absorption, the impact on the mind is more intense, and the explosiveness is extremely strong.
To explain more clearly with simplified data is like this.
Other twenty-thousand-year soul beasts have a soul shock intensity of 2, with the shock lasting for three hours. The intensity of the mutated sword grass might be 4, 5, or even 6, lasting one minute, then the intensity decreases to 1 for another three hours.
What Su Yu fears most is this unreasonable explosion.
If even Elder Yi couldn't awaken him in time and he got killed instantly, it would be truly frustrating.
"Withstanding nine seconds should be enough."
If the Sea of Spirit suffers a fatal blow, Elder Yi would definitely awaken at the first opportunity.
And once Elder Yi awakens, everything can proceed as planned.
Seeing the changes in Su Yu's expression, Mirror Hongchen felt a heavy heart.
"Su Yu, don't force it. This soul ring of a fifteen-thousand-year mutated sword grass is as difficult to absorb as a twenty-thousand-year soul ring."
"Hall Master, don't worry. I know my limits."
Su Yu released his spiritual power externally.
Mirror Hongchen widened his eyes.
Xiao Hongchen did as well.
"You... you... you..."
Xiao Hongchen pointed at Su Yu with a look of disbelief.
Your spiritual power, how is it so strong?
This intensity is even stronger than mine as a quasi-fifth level soul guide.
Mirror Hongchen also had a face full of disbelief.
"Did your martial soul mutation also involve spiritual power?"
Hearing Mirror Hongchen's skepticism, Su Yu simply nodded.
It's not like I could say that a grey bead came into my brain, opened up the Sea of Spirit, and I figured out a method of cultivating spiritual power on my own, right?
"With your spiritual power intensity, if you fight desperately, there's hope you can endure."
Absorbing a soul ring above one's level depends not only on the soul master's physical and spiritual power but also on the soul master's will.
If one's will is strong, it can forcefully carry them through.
Although there are not many cases of absorbing above one's level in the Sun and Moon Empire, Shrek has many. It's not that difficult to investigate Shrek, but once their students graduate, not all of them stay at the academy. The intelligence system of the Sun and Moon Empire can't be so poor that it can't gather any information at all.
"You may be able to endure the soul shock, but can you withstand the soul power impact of the soul ring?"
"Don't worry, Hall Master. My teacher gave me some ten-thousand-year whale jelly, I've also taken Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus, regularly use Body Tempering Pill, and my third ring is nearly six thousand years."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Mirror Hongchen twitched at the corners of his mouth.
I understand you're explaining the strength of your body.
But why do I feel like hitting you?
Elder Kong is really generous; ten-thousand-year whale jelly, did he personally hunt ten-thousand-year whale-type soul beasts?
The difficulty of hunting sea soul beasts is on a completely different level from hunting land soul beasts.
Tribe distribution.
Living in the deep sea.
There are generally strong individuals of hundred thousand year level or close to it within the tribe.
These three points constitute the biggest challenges.
Anyway, Mirror Hongchen didn't have the courage to specifically hunt ten-thousand-year whale-type soul beasts.
And the Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus...
Mirror Hongchen took a deep breath, refrained from continuing to dissuade Su Yu, and instead began to support him.
"Since you've used these resources, let them play to their greatest effect."
Mirror Hongchen decided to help Su Yu hunt this fifteen-thousand-year mutated sword grass.
At this moment, the most relieved person became Su Yu.
Even though Su Yu made a very stable and rational decision, to Mirror Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, it still seemed like a deadly challenge.
Indeed, the typical fifth soul ring limit for a soul master is just over ten thousand years. Su Yu's fourth soul ring is to be absorbed above level, and by so much—how could anyone not be confused by that?
"Soul Attachment!" Mirror Hongchen released his martial soul.
This time, he displayed the True Form of the Martial Soul.
"Seventh Soul Skill, True Form of the Toad!"
"First Soul Skill, Gold Control!"
"Second Soul Skill, Golden Boiling!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Condensation!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Gold Suppression!"
In the state of the True Form of the Martial Soul, all of Mirror Hongchen's soul skills received a multiplied boost in power.
In an instant, sixteen fixed-installed soul guide launchers emerged from the giant toad's body.
A heavy aura emanated from the launcher's mouth.
Gold Suppression!
The sixteen launchers on Mirror Hongchen's body simultaneously erupted, with sixteen beams of light blasting towards the mutated sword grass from different directions.
The sixteen beams of light emitted a dazzling golden light.
Amidst the light, a force of suppression descended.
"This is a soul skill similar to gravity squeezing?"
The soul skill is perfectly applied in the soul-guiding device.
Even without being targeted, Su Yu could feel a strong sense of oppression.
However, at the core of that suppressive force, a white light shone brightly.
A world-shaking sword light emerged.
Carrying the intent to cut through all restraints and break all suppression.
A sword that breaks the sky!
The suppressive force formed by the sixteen suppressive shells was broken apart by the mutated sword grass with this sword.
"This terrifying explosiveness might make absorbing it more difficult than anticipated."
Mirror Hongchen felt a heavy heart but was also filled with anticipation.
Such terrifying explosiveness could definitely provide Su Yu with a powerful high-explosive single-target soul skill.
