"A dragon with the Dark attribute? It couldn't be Di Tian, could it... Honestly, I don't have the strength or the mental fortitude to just go and get myself killed by Di Tian right now..."

Upon hearing Mu En mention a dragon-type soul beast with the Dark attribute, You Jie's first reaction was to think of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian. However, he quickly realized that if Di Tian had truly arrived, Mu En would have grabbed him and fled immediately rather than attempting to turn Di Tian into a soul ring.

After all, Mu En was not Xuan Zi; he wouldn't just do anything recklessly. Even the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult knew that Di Tian was an existence that absolutely could not be provoked.

But just as You Jie finished his wild train of thought, a golden, glowing Mu En appeared before them and tossed a soul beast that looked like an oversized bat near You Jie.

"You are in luck. This is a 25,000-year-old Dark Dragon Bat King, and the dragon bloodline within its body has become even more potent due to an atavistic phenomenon."

After saying this, the golden, glowing Mu En immediately dissolved into specks of light, returning to Mu En's true form.

"Has the Mystic Ancestor's technique of creating external avatars become this refined? It's even showing signs of evolving toward the level of a God of War of Hell..."

Seeing the methods Mu En displayed, You Jie praised him from the bottom of his heart. He hadn't even realized when Mu En's Light avatar had departed.

If that had been something Mu En prepared in advance, there would have been no need for him to specifically recall the Light avatar.

Shaking his head slightly to focus his attention, You Jie skillfully summoned Junk Warrior once more and shattered the Dark Dragon Bat King's head with a single punch.

The next moment, You Jie sat cross-legged on the spot, using his soul power to draw the soul ring toward him and attempting to absorb it.

Within You Jie's spiritual sea, the Dark Dragon Bat King was still struggling, attempting a final counterattack with a soul shockwave.

"Sorry, but I can't let you be so insolent. This is my spiritual sea; if you disturb me and Electrolux's rest, that would be a true sin."

"But a dragon with the Dark attribute? Let me show you the true nature of my soul!"

"Go, my Tamashi, Dark Red Demon Dragon!"

You Jie once again smoothly Synchro Summoned the Dark Red Demon Dragon, slapping the Dark Dragon Bat King's soul shockwave into dust. It vanished into the depths of his spiritual sea as silently as ash caught in a breeze.

Immediately, You Jie calmed his mind and began guiding the Dark Dragon Bat King's soul ring to fuse with his own, while simultaneously anticipating what changes this fourth soul ring would bring to his martial soul.

Just as You Jie focused on fusing the soul ring, the figure of Electrolux appeared within the spiritual sea.

After Mu En completed the healing, You Jie had also quickly finished his fusion with the Blade of Life. However, because You Jie had already enjoyed the benefits of the Blade of Life many times before, this fusion brought no special improvements other than thickening his health bar.

Yet, unlike when playing card games, the thickness of his health bar was still extremely important to You Jie.

"What an extraordinary dragon; it even made me feel a sense of dread..."

"You Jie, it seems your talent is far greater than I had imagined..."

An hour later, You Jie completed the absorption of the soul ring, but when he opened his eyes again, his expression was somewhat subtle.

"You Jie, what's wrong? Did something go wrong with your fourth soul skill?"

Zhang Lexuan immediately noticed the change in You Jie's expression and asked with a hint of panic.

The only other times You Jie had worn such an expression were when discussing matters related to Zhou Yi and Wang Dong. In Zhang Lexuan's view, this was clearly not a good sign.

"No, I'm just thinking about how I'm supposed to use this fourth soul skill..."

You Jie silently stared at the white card that only he could see, unable to understand why this card had appeared on his fourth soul ring.

Golden Cloud Beast - Malong Light Attribute, Level 7. Dragon/Tuner/Synchro/Effect Monster. ATK 2200, DEF 1000. 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters. The ② effect of this card name can only be used once per turn: ①: If this card is Special Summoned: You can make this card's Level become 1 or 8. ②: If this card is sent to the GY: You can target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; return it to the hand.

"This looks like the card that could be pulled from the Sky Dragon Horse that Bei Bei fused with in the original story. Although the effect is quite good, it doesn't have anything to do with hand traps, does it?"

"Besides, how am I supposed to trigger its effect? In my current way of unfolding combat, which is completely different from playing cards, there doesn't seem to be any need to change the card's level unless I'm playing a Hope deck..."

You Jie patted his face, deciding to set this card aside for now, and switched his martial soul to his second martial soul, Resonator.

Perhaps there was a possibility that this card required the fourth soul skill obtained from the Resonator martial soul to find the answer.

From the perspective of Mu En and Zhang Lexuan, You Jie first stared at the fourth soul ring on his left arm's Synchron martial soul for a while, his expression turning subtle, before turning his head to look at the fourth soul ring on his right arm's Resonator martial soul.

Then, You Jie's body began to tremble, and at the same time, a very healthy burst of laughter erupted from his mouth.

"Pfft, mwahahaha... hahahahaha!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

The reason was simple: what You Jie saw was exactly this card:

Harmonious Heavenly Savior Dragon Dark Attribute, Level 7. Dragon/Tuner/Effect Monster. ATK 2500, DEF 2000. Effect: The effect of this card name can only be used once per turn. ①: When your opponent activates a monster effect: You can reveal this card in your hand and up to 5 Synchro Monsters from your Extra Deck; apply the following effects based on the number revealed. After this effect resolves, you cannot activate the effects of monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters, until the end of your next turn.

● 2 or more: Special Summon this card.

● 4 or more: Send one of the revealed Synchro Monsters to the Graveyard.

● 6: Destroy one monster on the opponent's field.

"So that's how it is. The Imperial Destruction Dragon triggers its graveyard-dumping effect through this method..."

"And the effect of this card is surprisingly powerful. Not only does it allow me to summon a dragon with at least Spirit Saint-level combat strength at a very low cost, but it can also deal a heavy, impactful blow to two targets."

"As long as my strength continues to improve, I could even make Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King, and even Tang San suffer a loss because of this card!"
