Fighting the Emperor Auspicious Beast, You Jie immediately had a very troublesome premonition.

After all, the status of the Emperor Auspicious Beast was incredibly noble; if he were to accidentally beat it into a serious injury, Di Tian would definitely fly into a rage.

Don't let Di Tian's current human-like, polite appearance fool you; if You Jie truly hurt the Emperor Auspicious Beast, he would likely be courting death from the very start...

Oh wait, Di Tian wasn't that two-faced. He wouldn't waste words; he would start the fight with the Dragon God Claw.

But You Jie didn't want to lose, especially not to an Emperor Auspicious Beast that, in a sense, represented fate itself.

For a true duelist, everything is inevitable. Even his card draws are created by his own hand!

Just then, You Jie suddenly thought of a good idea.

He could take this opportunity to test how some of the "K-language" from Yu-Gi-Oh would manifest in this world.

"Then I shall not decline." You Jie cupped his hands toward Di Tian, then stepped out from behind Mu En, looking once more at the Emperor Auspicious Beast, which no longer seemed quite so dazzling.

Because the Emperor Auspicious Beast had been too radiant earlier, You Jie hadn't seen it clearly, but now, taking a closer look at its appearance...

You Jie decided to choose the general's kindness.

"You guy! Don't think that just because you have the protection of the Red Dragon, I wouldn't dare to touch you!"

The Emperor Auspicious Beast seemed to sense You Jie's somewhat disrespectful thoughts. After letting out an annoyed, human-spoken retort, it immediately lunged at him.

For some reason, its voice was a clear and moving female tone; if it were to become a VTuber, it would surely have many fans.

At the same time, the vertical eye in the center of its forehead opened, revealing a bewitching red pupil that stared fixedly at You Jie.

You Jie immediately felt as if he were being probed by something.

However, at the same time, the fourth soul ring on his right arm flickered slightly.

"Although I don't know what ability you used on me, as long as the effect triggers, then it's no problem!

"Fourth Soul Skill, activate! Go, Harmonious Sky Savior Dragon!"

You Jie immediately raised his right arm high. The fourth black soul ring on his arm erupted with light. The next moment, as many light shadows flashed behind him, a giant dragon with a white body, black-edged wings, and a red mane on its head hovered beside him.

"A ten-thousand-year-level dragon with the dark attribute?"

Seeing this dragon appear so suddenly, not only Di Tian, but even Mu En and Zhang Lexuan slightly lowered their guard, observing it with serious expressions.

But the next moment, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, which had been charging at You Jie, suddenly stopped, a look of pain on its face as if it had been struck by something.

Immediately following this, the light shadow of a white horse with wings flashed by, slamming into the Emperor Auspicious Beast and sending it flying like a soul-guided cannonball. It traced a golden arc through the air, heading straight toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Tsk, it seems the Emperor Auspicious Beast also possesses resistance to effect destruction, or perhaps in this world, destruction isn't as simple and crude as it is in Yu-Gi-Oh.

"But 'banishing' seems quite fierce. Although it doesn't compare to the way Blue God directly banishes things to another dimension, the fact that the Emperor Auspicious Beast couldn't resist it and Di Tian didn't intercept it shows that the potential for 'banishing' is even greater than I imagined."

Seeing Di Tian also transform into a black streak of light to chase after the sent-flying Emperor Auspicious Beast, rather than standing his ground and using his eight-hundred-thousand-plus years of cultivation to intercept it, You Jie revealed a smug smile once more before turning back to his tent to continue resting.

Judging by the Emperor Auspicious Beast's reaction, it, Di Tian, and very likely the Silver Dragon King, had all received some message from the Red Dragon, which was why it had taken the initiative to challenge him.

If it were a card game, You Jie would certainly welcome it with open arms, but if it were a street fight...

Sorry, although You Jie felt his mental state wasn't entirely normal, he wasn't crazy enough to reach the level of magnetic field force.

He wouldn't risk shattering the luck of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest just to have a "mother-of-all" epic battle with the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Mu En and Zhang Lexuan exchanged glances, unsure whether to laugh or worry, but Mu En told Zhang Lexuan to return to her tent to rest while he continued to keep watch.

He hadn't been back in a healthy state for long, so staying up for one night was nothing to him.

On the other side, whether by coincidence or some other reason, when the Emperor Auspicious Beast landed, it fell precisely on the edge of the Life Lake, the place where she usually rested the most.

"Damn it, to think it sent me back. Just you wait, I'm going to keep fighting you..."

"Auspicious Beast, stop making trouble."

Before the Emperor Auspicious Beast could prepare to charge back in the direction it had been watched by the Eye of Fate, a black light flashed, and Di Tian stood before it.

"Uncle Di Tian, please let me go. That human and I haven't finished our fight yet..."

The Emperor Auspicious Beast pleaded with Di Tian unwillingly, but Di Tian remained unmoved.

"That human has already realized your identity, which is why he used that method to deal with you.

"Since he already possesses the ability to suddenly injure you, if he truly were to summon even stronger dragons like in the memory the Lord shared, let alone you, even I might not have much chance of winning."

Di Tian's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable weight.

Clearly, he did not support the Emperor Auspicious Beast's habit of not sleeping in the middle of the night to go find others to fight.

Furthermore, Di Tian was quite satisfied with You Jie's restrained approach of stopping at the right moment.

"...Fine."

Realizing that Di Tian was serious, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, though still feeling disgruntled, had no choice but to accept the facts and silently lay down to nurse its injuries.

The power of the Harmonious Sky Savior Dragon had indeed caused it some damage. Although it could fully recover in a day or two thanks to its own supreme constitution and the rich life force of the Land of Great Calamity, it still hurt for now.

However, this only made it even more curious about You Jie and the power he possessed.

"How about I just transform and try to approach him as a human?

"But that human named Jack Atlas once said that he wants to be the best in the world, and that women are just a nuisance..."

Meanwhile, deep within Mingde Hall, Ming Capital, Sun Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen looked at the Soul Tool shield placed on the desk before him, his expression incredibly complex.

If one only looked at the Soul Tool shield itself, it seemed to be just an unremarkable Level 3 Soul Tool shield.

But the actual effect of this Soul Tool shield, as well as its soul power conservation, had already surpassed the Soul Tool shields produced by Mingde Hall.

"These materials, and the arrangement method of this Core Array... Is this truly a Soul Tool that Shrek Academy could make?"
