Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037

Magic Tunnel truly was a top-tier auxiliary skill; although it had not yet advanced, it still managed to enhance the capabilities of someone as powerful as Du You, albeit not significantly.

For this, Du You was very pleased, as it proved that this skill would greatly increase upon advancing.

However, the materials needed for such a comprehensive enhancement of a mage’s abilities seemed hard to find. It looked like they would only be available in relatively undeveloped worlds; perhaps they could even be found in the Yalan Continent.

Shaking his head, Du You dismissed these thoughts and continued to wait for the evolution of the next skill.

Finally, the new skill had evolved; his Moon Shadow Aura had advanced.

Moon Shadow Aura: Purified Dark Magic Power that increases the power of pure Dark Magic spells by 2% per tier, and reduces magic power consumption by 2% per tier, up to a maximum of 50%. It has a judging effect on impure Dark Magic Power and a suppressing effect on Light Attribute magic. Magic power consumption is increased for the opposing party when they use magic. (Level 36, 10 stars)

"The preliminary information hasn’t changed, but a new effect has been added that increases the enemy’s casting cost. I wonder how much it can increase; it probably depends on the strength of the enemy."

No matter whether the specific details had changed, the advancement of the aura had significantly boosted Du You’s power. With his current strength, he could take one more step forward that would surely intimidate others.

Counting the numbers, he now had four auras together with his two sisters. Adding the aura from his Summoned Beast, there were indeed quite a few auras in his team, some enhancing their own side, others weakening the enemy, and some of special types.

With these auras combined, the combat power of his team had increased immensely.

"Let’s start with the aura, then summon the Dark Elves. With this waxing and waning process, my attack power could frighten others. If I add the Dissolution Spell on top of that, the effect will be even more terrifying."

Now, Du You could hardly imagine how strong his attack would be when he went all out. Of course, there likely wouldn’t be many opponents worthy of his full strength since a single spell was usually sufficient for most people.

And those who would require such multiple stacking attacks from him, Du You did not believe he could land an attack on them; for such individuals would definitely be fifth-tier professionals, a level against which he might still be outmatched.

Rather than worry, he continued to level up. Du You’s return wasn’t merely for skill evolution. Taking advantage of the relative peace, he didn’t hesitate to spend a vast amount of Crystal Coins to level up himself, his sisters, and their teams up to level 39. This would have been impossible if they hadn’t earned a substantial amount of Crystal Coins during this period.

"Good, our remaining Crystal Coins are just enough to propel us to the peak of level 40, but we need to wait a bit now. We need some time to adapt and settle down, can’t be too hasty."

Deciding not to pursue further leveling for now, reaching level 40 would mean facing the challenges of the fifth tier.

Du You felt that he wasn’t fully prepared yet and needed some time to consolidate his skills. Moreover, he hadn’t found a suitable world yet. A world incompatible with him would make fulfilling the advancement task difficult.

Such a rapid progression was indeed frightening. If the academy found out that someone in their second year had reached the fifth tier, it would definitely cause a sensation. After leveling up, Du You and his sisters began adapting to their new powers.

While Du You was fully invested in enhancing himself, the outside world’s developments never slowed down. Previously, Du You sold the coordinates of the Star Ring World to the academy, which had now begun to explode in activity. Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

In the Star Ring World itself, the academy expanded aggressively, and the pace only quickened. With its growing influence, the academy gradually took over nearby Professional Associations, preparing to fully invest in the Star Ring World.

One day, Li Mengyao suddenly contacted him through her wristwatch. "Du You, the academy is preparing to fully enter the Star Ring World, and this is a great opportunity; you might need to pay a personal visit."

"What? That’s a tech-type world; what am I going to do there?"

Remembering the last visit to the Star Ring World, besides some outlines that proved to be good loot, there was hardly any other gain. The Photon Elf was just a special type Summoned Beast, not generally useful. Not following a technological path, going there would simply be a waste of time.

"Have you forgotten? The city we’re developing now lacks technological support. Here on Earth, without tech domain support, it’s difficult to get a foothold, let alone to expand. We did agree earlier to establish a new domain in a tech-type world, and now this is a good chance."

"The academy is about to enter the Star Ring World fully, and it has already opened access to this world. The safety here is guaranteed. If we built our own domain here, the academy would definitely protect our territory from malicious attacks."

Du You nodded, which was indeed correct. And because of his relationship with the academy, by reaching out proactively and offering some benefits, the academy’s protection could be even stronger.

But still, that was a tech-type world, not suitable for him.

"Is there no one else entering?"

Lin Mengyao rolled her eyes. "If others could establish their own domains in the Star Ring World, would they still stay in our company? They would surely immediately apply to start their own companies. Among us, you are the only one who can make it."

Due to Du You’s immense combat power, ordinary people found it difficult to thrive in such a tech-type world, which excelled in war with overwhelming combat forces. Not having such capabilities, they would merely be cannon fodder.

Lin Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, both being only third-tier, would just be cannon fodder even if they brought their teams. Du You’s combat capabilities had proven themselves in this world before; they knew it to some extent.

"Don’t tell me the academy hasn’t established their own territory in the Star Ring World yet?"

"Of course not, the rules for establishing territories in this world are too unusual. The stronger the force, the harder it is to get a territory slot unless you’re lucky enough to directly secure a Lord’s qualification. However, I heard the academy intends to increase the power of their Sci-Tech Department, so they have started preparing the new Lord’s qualification items. If we don’t move fast, our bargaining power when negotiating later will be less."
