Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090

Suddenly, Du You thought of something, "Right, what exactly happened this time? Why did it provoke a tier-seven Mother Nest and cause such a huge commotion? The Academy couldn’t have been so careless."

Lin Mengyao and Xi Qianxue exchanged a glance, then whispered, "We’re not clear on that either, but the student council must know. We’ll investigate once we get back. I can tell you, but you mustn’t leak any information."

"Don’t worry, I understand. I won’t leak a bit, and neither will Yucha and Yu Shi."

Du You made the decision for the two sisters; given Du You’s status, it was acceptable. The two nodded at each other and did not continue the topic. Being overheard would be problematic, as the information needed to remain confidential. If it weren’t for their demonstrated strength and potential, even being part of the student council wouldn’t qualify them to be privy to such details.

"Look, it’s Du You! Our Academy has a tier-five powerhouse."

When Du You emerged from the World Boat, people recognized him right away. It was inevitable, as Du You was now the face of the Academy and a celebrity. Unbeknownst to him, his photographs were already selling everywhere.

Just stepping out meant he was about to face being surrounded by a crowd.

"I’ll go first. Just tell me through the wristwatch later," Du You and the sisters used Instantaneous Movement to leave.

A large crowd followed Du You, while some headed towards Lin Mengyao and Xi Qianxue. Du You’s prominence overshadowed the two, but the fact that both could break through to tier four also made them quite famous.

If it weren’t for the gravity of the situation, Du You was sure the people at the Academy would be even more frenzied.

After a frantic return home, Du You finally received a message from Li Mengyao the next day.

"So that’s what happened; the Mother Nest could actually conceal its aura, hiding extremely well, and that’s what we fell for. Although the Mother Nest’s power is strong, its methods are limited; otherwise, nobody would have escaped."

This time, the Academy dispatched five tier-six powerhouses to explore the New World. Three of them had earlier teamed up to investigate a hidden spot, only to find a tier-seven Mother Nest well-concealed there.

Because it had concealed its aura, it went undetected. When they approached, the Mother Nest suddenly ambushed them, leading to what followed. It was astonishing that two of the three tier-six beings managed to escape. During the first ambush, a tier-six professor died on the spot, while the other two were seriously injured.

The message did not specify, only mentioning that a professor released a magical artifact that wounded the Mother Nest, allowing the two to escape. The infuriated Mother Nest then surprisingly spread its wings and took flight.

Attached beside was a photograph of the Mother Nest, a behemoth the size of a mountain peak, probably over 3280 feet tall. Its wings, small compared to its body, were quite disproportionate.

As for the Mother Nest flying, it likely relied on its own strength rather than its wings.

Tier-seven can be considered a divine tier, embodying the Law’s power, closely aligning with the world’s forces, as indicated in the documents. Flying, a simple task for those of tier seven, posed no troubling issue.

The two professors escaped, but it exposed the Academy’s attempts to explore the Other World. The enraged Mother Nest flew all the way here, sensing something amiss in the atmosphere and unleashing a breath of death. This deathly force, imbued with the Law of Death, could not be withstood by anyone. Anyone struck would turn to ash.

Perhaps, after a long time, this ash might coalesce again, becoming an Undead Creature devoid of thought.

It was precisely because of this event that the Academy immediately sent out messages instructing everyone to take cover. Still, some who were either too slow or unlucky were annihilated on the spot.

According to the statistics, the losses for the Academy were substantial. The number of Academy troops lost was unknown, as the figures were not released. Over thirty tier-five instructors perished, and even more students were lost.

An initial tally indicated that the disaster instantly claimed the lives of over a hundred students, a number that far exceeded the Academy’s annual casualty limit. Going forward, the Academy was likely to face some repercussions.

The Academy’s crisis management had already begun. Shortly after returning home, Du You saw various announcements the typically low-key Academy had released on television and online media, signifying the severe impact of the incident on the Academy.

In the short term, continuing to develop that world seemed exceedingly difficult.

However, Du You noticed an announcement indicating that Capital University was communicating with the Undead Academy to collaborate on developing that world. That world, filled with Undead, could certainly not be declined by the Undead Academy.

It seemed that the Academy was planning to shift the risk, leveraging the expertise of the Undead Academy to explore the world. Similarly, the risk involved in exploring this world would now be shared. Undead Nests are rare, and since a tier-seven had already appeared, the Undead Academy’s tier-seven beings would surely not miss this opportunity.

In this way, as long as tier-seven masters intervened, the impact of the Academy’s losses could be minimized.

Other schools, even if they wanted to seize this chance to strike at Capital University, would not succeed, as most people could understand such an accidental event. As long as the Academy provided a minimal compensation to the students’ families, the matter would likely be suppressed.

Watching this unfold, Du You found it uninteresting and decided not to look any further.

"Master, what should we do next?" The exploration left a lingering desire for more.

"Nothing much, just rest for a while and enhance our skills, then we’ll see. I remember there are quite a few suitable world coordinates. Later, we’ll pick a new world to enter," Du You replied. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

After advancing to tier five, Du You was not in a rush anymore. Now, it was time to consolidate his gains.

Daily contemplation of the power of the Law required gradual familiarization, something that could not be rapidly achieved through the Skill Hall. The Skill Hall could only strengthen one’s magic; the extent to which one could apply the magic depended on oneself.

The sisters nodded lightly and then began to busily manage the housework. As everyone’s abilities improved, the villa they currently occupied seemed to no longer match Du You’s status. Both Du You and the sisters were considering whether to move to another place.

Or perhaps, they should leave the Capital altogether and simply live in their own city. If Du You weren’t currently a student, he would definitely choose to live in his own city. Yet, as a student, he still needed to maintain a residence in the Capital.
