Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091

For the following period, nothing major happened; Du You and the two sisters basically spent their time in the Aylan World.

There was no helping it; to crystallize rule power for their skills in the Skill Hall, each skill needed at least three days on average, so altogether it took several months.

Even though the flow of time was different between this world and Earth, the accumulated time was still significant.

The most critical aspect was that while refining skills, one could only remain in their territory and could not go far, which was a stricter requirement than skill evolution initially demanded. Luckily, there was company, otherwise Du You would have died of boredom.

There were no major issues in the territory, but there were plenty of minor ones. Shaliya, though busy, still found time to come back and keep him company.

With the evolution of his skills, Du You gradually felt the distinction in his skills. The so-called "rule" in Du You’s perception was merely a way in which power flowed, not even a technique. Read full story at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

This flow was subtle and delicate, almost uncontrollable. But it had to be integrated into the skill, with magic power released according to this precise movement.

This was the use of rules, and the purpose of the Skill Hall was to integrate this movement into magic power, making it instinctual without the need for long periods of training. There were no side effects to this method, and it took less time. The only downside was that it cost too many Crystal Coins.

Originally, after making a big profit, Du You could have used Crystal Coins to break through his level-43 bottleneck, but now, it seemed he would have to spend most of them.

After skills evolved, Du You had tested them, and in terms of power, there was essentially no change; they were the same as before.

However, with the addition of these rules, the composition of his skills became more refined. Previously, when facing opponents of the same level, his magic power would be largely negated by the other party, but not anymore.

Even because the rules he perceived were stronger and more extensive, he might easily dominate the opponent.

This rule power was almost exclusively effective against opponents of the same tier, with hardly any bonus effect on those of a much lower tier. But Du You knew that integrating these rules was essentially building a foundation.

After encountering a tier-seven enemy, Du You conducted some research. He had his wristwatch turned into a tier-five one using the academy’s special channels, enabling it to connect to the tier-five Magic Network. The academy’s standard wristwatches did not support tier-five, so they had to be custom-made.

When Du You received the wristwatch, he also obtained some data from the academy that was not accessible to ordinary students.

The data revealed that integrating skills with rules was not just for combat; it was about laying a foundation.

Integration of skills with rules was a preparation for merging with the Law after tier seven. Du You had already witnessed the power of the Law; it was an absolute dominance over any power without the Law, belonging to a different level of power.

That level was much higher, still quite distant for Du You at present. So for now, not considering these, Du You just kept evolving his skills. Meanwhile, there was good news from his company.

The company, which had been acquiring advanced skills, finally found suitable ones for the sisters.

Extreme Range Shooting: Increases the Archer’s attack range by 5 times, enhances vision, and boosts the ability to lock onto targets. (Level 43, 9 stars)

This wasn’t an entirely exclusive skill, but it was one of the rare Archer common skills starting at tier four. It wasn’t easy to find common skills with a tier-four base.

This was like saving on advancement materials, granting a strong passive skill right from the start.

Indeed, having a company was beneficial; although it cost a lot, Du You didn’t think he could have found such an item on his own. High-tier passive skills like these, unless one struck lucky and they dropped, rarely came up for sale.

Even if they did, they would be snapped up by others in an instant.

After integrating this skill, the sisters’ Archer abilities received a significant upgrade.

Initially, Du You thought the sisters’ shooting range wasn’t very strong, but now it had suddenly surpassed his own.

After more than a month of preparation, the sisters’ Shadow Demon Bloodline finally advanced to tier five. This bloodline didn’t need to evolve through the Skill Hall, but after advancement, it required a long time to enhance automatically.

In the sisters’ perception, this bloodline might take over a year to fully evolve.

What frustrated Du You was that, for the time being, there seemed to be no way to advance his own bloodline. To enhance his bloodline, there were only two methods: either absorb a large amount of dark energy or hunt the Dragon Clan. Dragon blood was one of the ways to enhance all Dragon Clan-type bloodlines.

As all skill evolutions neared completion, the company once again played a role.

This time, it was an advancement material needed by Lin Yushi that had been collected by the company’s staff. The material itself was an odd stone covered with bizarre patterns, said to have been found in an ancient cave.

"With this, all your skills will be fully advanced," Du You said.

Lin Yushi happily evolved her skills, and in less than a day, the new skill was complete.

Shock Arrow: Fires an arrow with a massive shock effect, capable of effectively shattering enemies’ attacks and destabilizing magic structures. Requires a magic arrow type skill as a prerequisite, cannot be activated with physical arrows. (Level 43, 9 stars)

"It doesn’t seem like there’s much change," Du You noted as he looked at the panel prompt.

"The function hasn’t changed much; at most, it’s used to intercept enemy attacks, and it’s quite effective in disrupting magic. Unfortunately, it’s rarely needed," Lin Yushi said, also feeling the skill was somewhat underwhelming.

When facing enemy attacks, she would either dodge or block; there was seldom a case where using Shock Arrow was necessary.

"Regardless, having another advanced skill is always good," Du You said with a chuckle.

Lin Yushi gave Du You a look. Their master was great in every way, but had a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. His current happiness stemmed entirely from the fact that neither sister had any unevolved skills left, not because the skills were particularly powerful.

She thought, perhaps when the master’s last remaining unevolved skill was also advanced, he’d be even happier.

The sisters exchanged glances, wordlessly turning to continue their own tasks. And after enjoying the moment, Du You resumed refining his skills. He needed to find some enjoyment during this prolonged period restricted to his territory.
