Harmony of the Heavenly Salvation Dragon

"A DARK Attribute dragon? It couldn't be Di Tian, could it...? To be honest, I'm not strong enough yet, nor in the right state of mind, to just crash into Di Tian and kill him..."

When Mu En mentioned a DARK Attribute Dragon Soul Beast, You Jie's first thought was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian. But he quickly realized that if Di Tian really had come, Mu En would've turned tail and run with him, not tried to turn Di Tian into one of his Soul Rings.

After all, Mu En wasn't Xuan Zi. He didn't dare do whatever he pleased, and even the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult knew that Di Tian was someone they absolutely couldn't afford to provoke.

But just as You Jie finished letting his imagination run wild, a dazzling golden Mu En appeared before them and tossed a Soul Beast that looked a bit like an oversized bat near You Jie.

"Lucky you. This is a Dark Dragon Bat King with twenty-five thousand years of cultivation. Its Dragon Clan bloodline has also grown even stronger due to a return to its ancestral roots."

With that, the dazzling golden Mu En instantly dissolved into specks of light and returned to Mu En's true body.

"Has Xuan Zu's Avatar technique already become this proficient? It's even showing signs of developing into the God of War of Hell..."

Seeing the technique Mu En had displayed, You Jie praised him from the bottom of his heart. He hadn't even noticed when Mu En's Light Avatar had left.

If Mu En had prepared it in advance, then there'd been no need for him to specifically recall the Light Avatar.

You Jie gave a slight shake of his head to focus himself, then deftly summoned Junk Warrior again and smashed 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 in the Soul Ring and attempting to absorb it.

In You Jie's Sea of Consciousness, the Dark Dragon Bat King was still struggling, trying to make one last counterattack with Soul Shock.

"Sorry, but I can't let you keep throwing your weight around. This is my Sea of Consciousness. If you disturb me and Elder Yi while we're resting, that'd be a real sin.

"But a DARK Attribute dragon, huh? Let me show you my soul!

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

You Jie smoothly Synchro Summoned the Dark Red Demon Dragon again. It slapped the Dark Dragon Bat King's Soul Shock to smithereens, and the fragments vanished silently from You Jie's Sea of Consciousness like ashes scattered by a gentle breeze.

Then You Jie settled down and began guiding the Dark Dragon Bat King's Soul Ring into fusion with himself, eagerly anticipating how this Fourth Soul Ring would change his Martial Soul.

As You Jie focused on fusing with the Soul Ring, Electrolux's figure appeared in the Sea of Consciousness as well.

After Mu En finished treating him, You Jie quickly completed his fusion with the Blade of Life. But since he'd already enjoyed the benefits of the Blade of Life many times before, this fusion brought him no particular improvement beyond thickening his health bar.

Unlike when he played Yu-Gi-Oh!, though, a thick health bar was still very important to You Jie.

"What an extraordinary dragon. It even made me feel fear...

"You Jie, your talent is even greater than I imagined..."

An hour later, You Jie completed the Soul Ring absorption. But when he opened his eyes again, his expression turned rather peculiar.

"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 anxiously.

The last time You Jie had worn that look was when he'd brought up something related to Zhou Yi and Wang Dong. So to Zhang Lexuan, seeing that expression now clearly wasn't a good sign.

"No, I'm just wondering how I'm supposed to use this Fourth Soul Skill..."

You Jie silently stared at a white card that only he could see, unsure why it had appeared on his Fourth Soul Ring.

Golden Cloud Beast - Malong

LIGHT Attribute, Level 7.

Dragon / Resonator / Synchron / Effect Monster.

ATK 2200, DEF 1000.

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters.

You can only use the effect of "Golden Cloud Beast - Malong" once per turn.

①: If this card is Special Summoned: You can activate this effect; increase or reduce this card's Level by 1.

②: If this card is sent to the GY: You can target 1 face-up card on your opponent's field; return it to its owner's hand.

"This looks like the card that the Sky Dragon Horse fused with by Bei Bei in the original story would drop. The effect's pretty good, but it doesn't have anything to do with Hand Traps, does it?

"And how am I supposed to trigger its effect? Now that my ways of setting up the board are completely different from how I play cards, I don't see any reason to specifically change a card's Level unless I'm playing a Hope Deck..."

You Jie raised a hand and patted his face, deciding to set the card aside for now. Then he switched his Martial Soul to his Second Martial Soul, Resonator.

Perhaps there was a chance he'd get the answer by pairing this card with the Fourth Soul Skill granted by his Resonator Martial Soul.

From Mu En and Zhang Lexuan's perspective, You Jie first stared at the Fourth Soul Ring on his left arm, where his Synchron Martial Soul was, and his expression turned rather peculiar. Then he turned to look at the Fourth Soul Ring on his right arm, where his Resonator Martial Soul was.

Then You Jie's body began to tremble, and at the same time, a very hearty laugh burst from his mouth.

"Pfft, mmhahaha... Hahahaha!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!"

There was only one reason: what You Jie saw was this card:

Harmony of the Heavenly Salvation Dragon

DARK Attribute, Level 7.

Dragon / Tuner / Effect Monster.

ATK 2500, DEF 2000.

Effect: You can only use the effect of "Harmony of the Heavenly Salvation Dragon" once per turn.

①: When a monster on your opponent's field activates its effect: You can reveal this card in your hand and up to 5 Synchro Monsters from your Extra Deck to your opponent; activate all the following effects according to the number revealed. After this effect resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters 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 1 of the revealed Synchro Monsters to the GY.

● 6: Destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field.

"I see. So that Imperial Destruction Dragon triggered its send-to-the-GY effect this way...

"And this card's effect is unbelievably powerful. Not only can it let me summon a dragon with the strength of at least a Soul Saint at a very low cost, it can also deliver a powerful blow to two targets.

"Once I grow stronger, I might even be able to make Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King, and even Tang San take a hit from this card!"
