Chapter 326 Destruction Mode
Gao Da slowly crouched down, his chest armor cracking open, and Lin You leaped out, landing with undisguised excitement on his face: "The result is even better than expected. I'm confident tonight."

Huo Yuchen, however, revealed his worry: "Brother You, Di Qiu'er is, after all, a mythical beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. What if..."

Lin You patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, it's just a friendly spar. Besides, the Destruction Mode is more powerful than you think. It can completely expand the range of my Martial Soul. After all, what I showed before was just the external weapon. The core is the mental sensing framework of this machine."

Huo Yuqin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Lin You shook his head: "No need, trust me."

As night fell, Lin You arrived alone in a secluded grove outside Shrek City, piloting a pure white Gundam to keep their appointment.

The moonlight, like water, cast its silvery glow across the forest clearing, adding a touch of gentle beauty to this tranquil place.

"coming?"

A clear voice came from the depths of the forest. Di Qiu'er walked slowly into the center of the moonlit clearing. Her long golden hair fluttered in the night wind, and her golden eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Lin You's voice came from the Gundam, tinged with a hint of emotion, "It's only been a few days, and we're already going all out? Any thoughts on how my strength has improved?"

"Hmph, humans can't beat me with external things, you should know that, right?"

Di Qiu'er chuckled softly, and her figure suddenly began to change. Golden light burst forth from her body, illuminating the entire forest.

Her limbs touched the ground, her body rapidly expanded, fine golden scales appeared on her skin, her head elongated, and a third eye split open in the center of her forehead—a vertical pupil gleaming with a purplish-gold light, filled with noble majesty, an aura that seemed to demand worship.

After the transformation was completed, Di Qiu'er had become a huge four-legged auspicious beast, over three meters long and eight feet tall at the shoulder. Her whole body was covered with golden fur, which had a translucent crystal-like texture under the moonlight. Her four claws were like dragon claws, extremely sharp, and with each step she took, golden flames rose from between her claws.

"My true form is far more powerful than any external object. In this state, I am comparable to an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast. What about you? Can you unleash strength that rivals a titled expert?"

Di Qiu'er's voice rang in Lin You's mind, tinged with pride, "I am an imperial auspicious beast, possessing the bloodline of a golden dragon. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Lin You piloted the Gundam into battle stance, and blue light shone from the seams of its full-body armor: "It is precisely because you are the Emperor Beast that I want to test the limits of this armor."

Di Qiu'er blinked all three eyes at the same time, then she suddenly let out a low growl, stomped her four paws on the ground, and her whole body rushed towards Lin You like an arrow released from a bow. Her speed was astonishing, and the ground was pounded with a series of deep pits by her paws.

Lin You reacted extremely quickly. The thrusters on his two feet ignited instantly, and the internal heat energy was rapidly converted into fuel and dissipated soul power, which was absorbed and conducted by the machine. In less than a second, dozens of cycles were completed, providing energy for the entire machine. The machine dodged to the side, and at the same time, he swung his left arm, and the armored shield instantly unfolded, blocking in front of him.

Di Qiu'er slammed her claws hard against the shield, the immense force sending the Gundam sliding backward several meters. The energy ripples on the shield's surface vibrated violently, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

"Incredible power, is this her full strength?" Lin You was secretly shocked inside the armor. The impact force on the shield far exceeded his expectations. If it weren't for the calcium element core reinforcement, this attack would probably have shattered the shield. Di Qiu'er didn't pause. The moment she landed, she spun around, her long tail whipping towards Gundam's waist like a whip. Lin You didn't have time to dodge and could only raise his right arm to block. The golden tail struck the armor heavily, making a dull impact sound. Tiny cracks appeared on the entire right arm armor of Gundam.

"That won't do, Lin You," Di Qiu'er said teasingly. "It seems your iron lump isn't very durable."

Lin You did not answer. Suddenly, the Vulcan Soul Guide Ray on the head of the Gundam was activated, and two blue-white beams shot straight towards Di Qiu'er. The Emperor Beast reacted quickly, flipping its body to the side and easily avoiding the beams. However, Lin You was prepared. The Gundam had already raised its beam rifle with its right hand and switched to rapid-fire mode while pulling the trigger.

A barrage of blue beams rained down on Di Qiu'er, each one exploding violently upon hitting the ground. The force of the beams forced her to leap and dodge, her golden figure tracing graceful arcs in the moonlight. Several beams grazed her fur, leaving charred marks.

“This is getting interesting.” Di Qiu’er suddenly stopped, her third eye widened, and a beam of purple-gold light shot out, accurately hitting the beam rifle in Lin You’s hand.

Fate and Judgment!

As if an invisible force had affected its fate, misfortune struck. After firing several more shots, the rifle instantly changed from the inside out. The internal magic array seemed to have overheated, bursting out with a blinding light before it stopped moving. Lin You's lips twitched slightly at the sight.

Alright, alright, so this is how you use the power of fate? A direct curse, and the machine spirit is displeased?
Lin You immediately discarded his weapon, his shoulder armor popped out, and two beam sabers fell into his hands, the blue blades drawing brilliant arcs in the night.

“Come on, let’s fight in close combat,” Lin You taunted.

Di Qiu'er grinned, revealing sharp fangs: "Just what I wanted."

She charged again, faster than before, her figure almost transforming into a golden lightning bolt. Lin You gripped his beam saber tightly, and the instant Di Qiu'er lunged at him, he flicked the saber upwards with his left hand and swept it horizontally with his right, forming a cross slash.

Di Qiu'er abruptly stopped her charge, her front paws drawing two golden arcs in the air, precisely colliding with the two beam sabers. To Lin You's astonishment, the seemingly soft golden fur was as hard as steel. The blades of the beam sabers only left shallow marks when they struck it, while Di Qiu'er's claws had already passed through the beams and directly grabbed the hilts.

"That won't do." Di Qiu'er roared, and with a clench of her claws, the hilts of the two beam sabers shattered instantly, and the beam blades disintegrated.

All of the unicorn's external weapons are at level five to six. Facing the Emperor Beast, which is comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it is obviously not qualified without a soul tool of level seven or even level eight or above!

Faced with this huge gap, Lin You immediately felt a slight chill.

That makes sense. If one could defeat a mythical beast with the combat power of a Soul Saint in normal mode, then the Soul Beasts would probably have gone extinct long ago.

Lin You immediately activated the backup beam saber on his shield, and at the same time, the flamethrower system on his right arm was turned on at full power, and a blinding white phosphorus flame shot towards Di Qiu'er.

The Imperial Beast reacted extremely quickly, leaping backward to avoid the flames, but several strands of its fur were still scorched. The flames then spread rapidly. Faced with this high-temperature white phosphorus fire that it could not handle, it roared, and all the fur on its body suddenly stood on end, each hair becoming as sharp as a needle. Then, hundreds of golden hairs shot towards Lin You like arrows.

This was a clumsy solution she came up with.
