Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089

Originally, Du You had been advancing smoothly, but suddenly he stopped, and the subsequent attack plan was completely abandoned. The three of them just stood there, not daring to move; they didn’t know how strong a seventh tier could be.

Everyone below the seventh tier is just an ant; now, Du You had a deep understanding of this.

The opponent didn’t even need to pursue them; just a slight attack that affected them would annihilate them. However, this also completely ignited Du You’s conviction, a conviction to become a seventh tier.

No matter how difficult it was, he had to become a seventh tier, he absolutely could not give up.

Time swiftly passed, and under these conditions, Du You had waited for three days. Worrying about being discovered, Du You dared not make a fire and could only eat some of the provisions he carried.

It wasn’t just Du You; the other people actually felt the same. Everyone had lost their previous spirited and ambitious stance, becoming anxious and uneasy—that was the powerful deterrence from a seventh-tier expert.

Three days later, new news finally came from the academy. Read full story at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"The academy’s exploration plan has been temporarily suspended, they are now asking all of us to return. This time we encountered a powerful existence of the seventh tier, and the academy is preparing to inform a seventh-tier expert, whether to continue exploring or to wait until later."

As a powerful academy, Capital University definitely had seventh tier existences, just not within the school itself.

"So what do we do, retreat, or continue to stay here?" Lin Yucha said.

These Professionals are usually quite free. If they didn’t want to leave and wanted to continue making a living here, it wasn’t impossible. Of course, at that time, they would be responsible for their own safety. If they died, they could blame no one else.

After thinking it over, Du You said, "Let’s go back after all; although we could gain benefits by staying here, we’ve made too much noise, and the risks are not small. It’s just not worth it."

Du You did not want to put himself in danger. His strength, no matter where he was, had the capacity to keep improving; it wasn’t worth it to risk his life just for immediate gains, so it was better to leave.

With that thought, Du You opened his panel and directly submitted the task of clearing the Undead.

The next moment, a treasure chest appeared, this time it was blue. "Not bad, not bad, there are fifty thousand blue Crystal Coins, a bit less than expected, but having this much in a single treasure chest is already pretty good."

This kind of income, even in Du You’s view, was substantial, let alone what it would seem like to others.

However, Du You didn’t care much about this money but continued to look down. Next, there was a blueprint.

Pit of Ten Thousand Bones Blueprint (Tier 5): Can construct the Pit of Ten Thousand Bones in your territory.

"This is a construction blueprint from the Skeleton line, also of the Undead Attribute, capable of producing a large number of skeletons. But it doesn’t match our territory, so let’s keep it; maybe it will be useful later."

As he spoke, Du You reached into the treasure chest again, and this time, a stone tablet came out.

Lord’s Stele: Can define an area in the Other World to establish your own territory.

Du You’s eyes brightened; this was another item like the Lord’s Token, giving him another opportunity to establish a lordship. In any world, he could now build his own territory.

However, the current world clearly wasn’t suitable, as there were no conditions for development, and this place belonged to the academy. If he established a territory here, the academy might not say anything on the surface, but they would definitely undermine him. At that time, it could even lead to a rift between him and the academy, which is not worth it.

But such an item, kept for future use, would always be useful, though Du You hadn’t yet decided where to build his new territory.

What Du You hadn’t expected was that the treasure chest had not yet disappeared. "It seems the progress of completing the task this time was really significant, there’s still something left." His eyes brightened; the yield from the treasure chest certainly wouldn’t be poor.

Du You reached into the treasure chest again, and in his hand appeared another new blueprint.

He opened the new blueprint, and Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Lich’s Hall, an annex to Mage Tower?"

Without looking further, Du You mostly knew that the annexes of the Mage Tower were mostly used to recruit mage branches of the armed forces. From the name, it was known that this time the recruitment was for the creature known as Lich.

Not the traditional Undead Mage from this world, but a Lich. Generally speaking, that was probably the case.

Yet, the Undead type of creature, in any world, was taboo, even in this world, not well-liked. If he really built it in his territory, he would likely face attacks from others.

"Perhaps, we can wait until a new world comes along, better not to use it for now."

Although he could add a type of mage branch of the armed forces, Du You didn’t want to ruin the good reputation he had built up so hard. Developing in the Yalan world wasn’t easy without a good reputation.

With that thought, Du You also stored the new blueprint. The items he received this time, apart from the Crystal Coins, seemed unusable for the moment, which indeed made Du You somewhat frustrated.

After packing up, Du You, along with the two sisters, did not go far. They only found a safe place nearby, then tapped into the world’s power to open a gateway, and the next moment, Du You disappeared.

Just as he entered the spatial gateway, Du You felt a vague pressure, but couldn’t clearly perceive it.

Whether or not he was discovered, at least he wasn’t in that place anymore. Du You secretly decided that he wouldn’t go there for a short while. If he really had been targeted by a seventh tier, it definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.

The spatial gateway appeared inside the World Boat, and when Du You reappeared, he was already inside the World Boat.

Looking around, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue had just come out as well. However, their aura was completely different from before, having reached the fourth tier; it seemed the two had completed their plans.

"Congratulations, you’ve reached the fourth tier so early," Du You said with a smile. Although this time was quite dangerous, everyone had come out safely, which made Du You much more at ease.

Li Mengyao gave Du You a look: "Congratulations to you too, you’ve reached the fifth tier, and now you’re really famous."

"Fame is just fame, I’ve gotten used to it. It’s no use to me."

Xi Qianxue nodded slightly: "It’s best if you can think that way. Fame is just an add-on; as long as you have enough strength, any kind of reputation isn’t a problem. Your strength now is not bad, but it’s far from the peak."

Not sure if it was his imagination, but Du You always felt that Xi Qianxue’s look at him seemed a bit different now.
