(Um, everyone, please take a look at what's in the final parentheses of this chapter.)

Just as he was about to say something else, Gu Yue suddenly transmitted her voice to him again.

"Hey, Yang Jin, can I call you that?" Gu Yue asked.

"Sure. What is it?"

"What are you planning to do? There are only the two of us left now," Gu Yue asked.

"I'm planning to..."

Just as he was about to say something, Old Long suddenly told him a few things and extracted something from the Sea of Consciousness before handing it to him.

"Hm? Yang Jin, what is that in your hand?" Gu Yue asked.

"It's something I transformed into, a secret. But this can..."

"Huh? That amazing? Is it similar to Battle Armor?" Gu Yue asked.

"Not really."

As they spoke, the two men were slowly approaching Wu Yang Jin and Gu Yue.

One person suddenly woke up...

"Hm? What's going on? Eek! Aahhh!"

The awakened man suddenly screamed. Seeing everyone asleep, he also happened to spot the two men who had turned around, holding blades made from Soul Guidance Weapons.

"Shut up!" As he spoke, one of them swung the flat of his blade at him, but the man unexpectedly dodged.

"Tch. If there weren't no need to kill anyone, we would've beaten you all to death while you were asleep," the man said.

"Eek! M-Murder!" the man cried.

"Roar... Then die now." With that, he raised his blade and slashed down.

"Bzzzz!"

Just as he was about to strike, a sound suddenly rang out.

"Hm? Watch him here. I'll go take a look."

Suddenly, for some reason, the man seemed to feel as though he had grasped a sliver of hope and pounced forward.

"Whoever you are, come out and save us!"

"Tsk! Wouldn't it have been fine if you'd just let them come over?" Wu Yang Jin suddenly stood up and said.

"There are always people like that," Gu Yue said, still lying in her seat.

"Hmph, come on. Let me test this power that doesn't belong to a Martial Soul."

With that, Wu Yang Jin swiftly took out the object from earlier. It was a belt, its main body silver in color.

"Buzz... Alpha!"

"A... mazon..." Wu Yang Jin shouted, as if he already knew how to use it.

Then, as the grip on the left side turned, the Accelerator Grip activated the core device of its driver. The eye-like component in the center suddenly lit up as well.

"Wait, what are you trying to do?!" As he spoke, the man unleashed a shockwave toward him.

"Blood and Wild Wi- Wi- Wi- Wild!"

Suddenly, flames rose all around him, spreading outward in five circular waves. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they also blew away the man closest to him who had charged over.

After twisting the belt, Wu Yang Jin appeared in the train clad in armor, as though he had grown taller.

The armor covering his entire body was red, but it also bore dark black-gold patterns that flickered faintly without being particularly bright.

His chest armor was silver with golden patterns, while his compound eyes were green with several faint black markings.

The rest of his body had a savage appearance covered in countless "scars," and his skin was almost completely devoid of luster.

(Uncle Ren: Hm? You're copying mine? It actually looks pretty good...) Those who had seen it should know that it was still heartbreaking.

"Yang Jin... you?" Gu Yue asked.

Of course, Gu Yue was not afraid. She had the means not to be afraid; she was merely asking out of curiosity and concern.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, Wu Yang Jin now seemed to have become... berserk, perhaps? Or rather, to outsiders, this transformation made him seem somewhat like a monster.

"Mm, I'm fine. It's just an ability."

As he spoke, the man who had been blasted away recovered his senses. The other man knocked out the person who had been screaming, then joined him at their side, preparing to attack.

Wu Yang Jin also assumed a fighting stance, extending his left hand straight ahead while raising his right hand behind and above him, ready to respond.

Suddenly, the two men swiftly slashed out black blades toward Wu Yang Jin.

Night Blade was one of this man's soul skills. It condensed pitch-black power into blades and slashed at the enemy.

The blades shot toward Wu Yang Jin as though moving at high speed, but to Wu Yang Jin, who was enhanced by Alpha, this speed was not fast at all.

After dodging left and right, he rushed forward. Seeing this, the two men hurriedly unleashed Night Blade again. Wu Yang Jin performed a sliding dodge, continued forward, and then gripped the handle on the right.

He drew a bone sword and slashed at them, but they were no pushovers. One of them directly used another soul skill, Nether Claw, which could attach to the hand, barely blocking the attack.

"Whoosh!"

After his strike was blocked, Wu Yang Jin did not hesitate. He kicked one of them away, and during the other's brief moment of shock, the man struck at Wu Yang Jin, slashing him across the body.

This Soul Master's attack was not weak, but as though it existed in his memories, Wilder Skin instantly gathered within his body and blocked part of the damage.

"No... That's impossible!" the man said in shock.

"Nothing is impossible!" With that, he heavily cleaved into the man with his bone sword, then brought it down in another powerful strike.

But suddenly, he also felt some exhaustion and discomfort in his body.

Cough, cough... Am I still not used to it? Or rather, I was still hit. There's a bit of a problem. Wu Yang Jin thought.

Seeing that the two fallen men did not get up in time, he felt that his time was almost up. He directly sheathed the bone sword and shouted to Gu Yue...

"Use ice element."

Gu Yue instantly understood what he meant. From a position no one noticed, she used ice element on the two men in the distance, freezing them in place and rendering them unable to move.

"Cough! What?! Ice element! There are... there are others here!" the two men struggled.

"End it... Violent Strike!"

At the same time, he rapidly rushed over, twisting both feet as he kicked at the two Evil Soul Masters...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, someone happened to block the two men. It was as though he had emerged from their bodies out of nowhere, blocking the attack, though both sides were forced back at the same time.

The kicked party was sent crashing backward, injured and coughing up blood.

Wu Yang Jin, meanwhile, crashed backward and rolled once before being wrapped in a sphere of water formed by Gu Yue's water element.

"Gu... Yue," he mumbled from inside the water sphere.

"Hm? Oh, it's fine."

With that, she released the water sphere. Wu Yang Jin also returned to normal, and after the transformation was canceled, the belt disappeared and returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

"Hahaha! Good... good kid! Excellent!" the man who had been kicked away laughed.

"Tch, we ran into a lunatic."

"Lunatics... are usually harder to deal with," Gu Yue said.

Looking at the man before them who had suddenly stood up and begun laughing, the two said nothing.

"Yo, and there's even a little girl beside you? Not bad... She'll be mine later. Let me have some fun and relax!"

"Disgusting..." Gu Yue said.

Suddenly, the man drank a bottle of potion, then activated his Martial Soul...

The Nether Wolf Martial Soul was a Beast Martial Soul of the close-combat Agility Attack Type, though it also had a spiritual attribute branch. Depending on the user, it could mutate to produce a special ability, which was also a kind of soul skill.

It was the clone from earlier. They were all himself, but they could possess different consciousnesses. In addition, the man himself was at level forty, while his clones could only reach around level twenty-five to thirty at most. He could create up to ten clones, and that number increased with his level.

(Um, let me say this in advance: this counts as my first time writing a battle, but this battle itself will not be very long. It is also my first time writing one, so there will probably be problems. I'll also say in advance that it includes Kamen Rider elements, because I only started liking Kamen Rider last year. However, it will not appear often or too much, since it is not a Martial Soul. If judged by Douluo Continent standards, it will appear a few times more like armor, mecha, or Battle Armor. Finally, depending on the situation, when this book is completed, I will open a new chapter to rewrite the battle portions described in this chapter and the next.)
