Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087

Although Du You didn’t want to hide the fact that he had advanced to the fifth tier, this time there was no concealing it. This world was originally discovered for exploration by the academy, and he was registered there.

Now that his power had increased but he stayed, it would be odd if they didn’t notice.

As a result, it didn’t take long before everyone from the academy in this world knew about his breakthrough to the fifth tier.

"Have you heard? Du You, the one from the second year, has already broken through to the fifth tier. He’s simply invincible."

"Can it be? So fast? Could there be any hidden dangers? Reaching the fifth tier isn’t that easy, after all."

"Hmph, I’ve heard that he has at least five or six advancement skills; there’s definitely no hidden danger. Five or six advancement skills, just having three when I reach the standard would have me thanking my lucky stars."

The students began to discuss in private once again, and Du You’s reputation swelled anew. When he learned of this, Du You felt a headache coming on. It looked like he could not afford to visit the academy when there was nothing else to do.

Not just a second-year student reaching the fifth tier, but even those who managed to do so before graduation were few and far between in the history of Capital University. He remembered the last one was from many years ago. Who would have thought such a prodigy would appear in this class.

There were also Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao, who rose to power with the help of their domain’s strength; both had the potential to reach the fifth tier before graduation. Of course, whether they could attain it was another matter, depending on their luck.

After understanding the situation, Du You could only put it out of his mind. Being famous was not new to him.

Thus, Du You, along with the two sisters, began to sweep through their surroundings without restraint. Lin Yushi quickly hunted a large number of Undead Creatures, creating masses of Demon Extermination Spirits, which then collected the corpses.

Then, Du You waved his hand, and countless dark seeds scattered, calling forth the King of Skeletons.

The corpses on the ground slowly began to wither, changing in form, before finally igniting with black flames. A skeleton bearing a sword and shield and ablaze with black fire stood up. No matter what kind of corpse was used, the resulting skeleton would always look the same. The strength of some skeletons continued to rise, while others solidified as soon as they got up.

Of course, after reaching a certain height, all skeletons stopped advancing further.

Only those Undead corpses above the third tier could create Demonic Flame Skeletons that were level 21.

But, as Du You acted, more and more black skeletons appeared, and the golden sea and black sea that were Du You’s forces slowly moved forward. Eventually, even if they came across a fifth-tier Mother Nest or city, they could push straight through.

In the end, in order to create enough skeletons, Du You even stopped using the dark Beetles and tried to preserve corpses as much as possible.

What frustrated Du You was that although the drop rate here wasn’t very high, some items did drop. However, the equipment that dropped was basically useless to him since it all related to the Undead Attribute.

"It seems that with the help of this world, the Undead Research Branch of the academy is set to rise. It might even become an independent major branch." Initially, the Undead Research Branch wasn’t independent, but that might change in the future. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

"We’ve already upgraded our weapons, having weapons is good enough," Du You said. With the help of a tier-five Undead Mother Nest, Du You and the two sisters upgraded their weapons to tier five. The remaining Mother Nest crystals were not used but kept as a resource. Whether for future cultivation of mental abilities or for selling, they were very valuable.

Yinying Ring: Spell power increased by 42, dark spell power additionally increased by 37, casting speed increased by 20%, and dark spell casting speed additionally increased by 10%. (Light Blue)

Du You’s Yinying Ring only had its base increased to 42 and it had been enhanced to the light blue level, which was as far as it could go.

Of course, because the Yinying Ring had a very good foundation, the bonuses it received were quite substantial. Although it was light blue, it could be seen that even a blue ring might not necessarily be better than this one.

The same was true for the two sisters, who merely upgraded their longbows.

Sniper Bow: Maximum draw weight of 41, increased penetration. Automatically condenses arrows, and comes with +30 lock-on skill. (Light Blue)

Dragon Hunting Bow: Maximum draw weight of 41, automatically condenses arrows, comes with shadow arrows, adding secondary damage to each arrow attack. Increases damage against dragon-type creatures by 20%. (Light Blue)

Since both longbows were originally only yellow-grade, the upgrade only provided the minimum enhancement, increasing the maximum draw weight to 41, with no other changes. However, the ability that came with the Dragon Hunting Bow was quite decent.

In addition, to resolve Lin Yushi’s inherent deficiency in magic power recovery, Du You experimented for a while and eventually spent five Mother Nest crystals to finally upgrade the Slaughter Badge to light blue.

This badge probably couldn’t be improved any further; continuing to upgrade it was essentially impossible.

But having a light blue Slaughter Badge was not bad; it at least allowed Lin Yushi to rely on killing enemies to obtain a substantial magic power recovery. Combined with her own magic recovery skills, it also addressed the issue of insufficient magic power.

Three days later, while the Demon Extermination Spirits began to dissipate, Du You’s Demonic Flame Skeletons did not. Even though they were becoming increasingly difficult to control as their numbers grew larger, their numbers were also increasing.

Like a real ocean of skeletons, Du You now seemed like a great demon lord, and he finally got the sense of being an Undead monarch. Facing such a scene, nobody could help but be shocked. Du You’s new war skill made a name for itself in a short period of time once again.

Soon, the people from the academy who came to this world began to discuss this skill issue.

Those with undead-type professions were particularly envious of Du You’s ability, as it was clearly an evolution of the Undead Summoning-type skills. Only a wealthy person like Du You could fully transform such a skill.

To know, originally numbers were their strength, and now someone had surpassed theirs. Skeletal warriors at tier three—there wasn’t even a student in the academy who was tier three, what a terrifying skill this was.

"Hmph, one day, my summoned creatures will definitely surpass his. We Undead Summoners are the orthodox," someone said resolutely.

"Exactly, exactly, what use is forcing a skill construct with Crystal Coins, that’s basically cheating," remarked someone sourly.

Of course, these people only dared to say these things in private. No one had the courage to say anything to Du You’s face. Nowadays, even the upper class of the academy, upon seeing the endless army of skeletons in the videos, were left speechless, unsure of how to express themselves.
