Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173

After refining his own skills, Du You, together with his two sisters, bade farewell to the others and returned to Earth once again. After coming back, he needed some time to cleanse the Law aura in himself.

But having reached the fifth tier, the Law aura dissipated quickly from Du You, and it only took a few days.

"Oh, I didn’t expect the term to have ended already." Suddenly, Lin Yushi spoke loudly.

Du You looked at the calendar, then checked his wristwatch. Indeed, the term had already ended. However, any competitions held in the academy, whether internal or external, were irrelevant to Du You.

At the same time, Du You was too powerful, and those who had criticized him for not attending classes now kept their mouths shut. If Du You attended someone’s class, it was truly an honor.

With his current power, nobody dared say they could teach him; as a result, he could only research on his own.

Fortunately, Du You was used to working , and now he had even less trouble to deal with.

Du You looked at the information and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. Being too powerful was also troublesome. The term had ended, and although he wasn’t there, with Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, two new tier-four powerhouses, his class still performed very well. Including the second-year students, the performance was excellent, rightfully achieving first place.

However, without his participation, Capital University lost in the joint academy competition this time. It was a close defeat, just by a bit. Now, online debates were incessant and couldn’t be stopped. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

The winners were the Mage Academy, and even they didn’t expect to win. Now, they were busy promoting and advertising their victory. The people from Mage Academy stood proud and aloof.

But the Capital University side was not pleased, considering they had a fifth-tier Du You. If Du You participated, with his fifth-tier power, he could definitely sweep the competition.

However, someone from the Mage Academy noted that the competition in the Other World was designed for tier-four; if Du You forcefully entered, he could only suppress his power to tier-four, otherwise, he would be disqualified. The impact of a tier-four power level would not significantly influence the competition.

Capital University countered by saying having a fifth-tier was enough to prove their strength.

Others argued that even suppressed to tier-four, it was still a fifth-tier’s capability. Coupled with Du You’s previous combat videos, they believed with Du You present, they were destined to win. The debate went on and on without an end.

"Hmph, if master participated, they definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against us," Lin Yushi muttered discontentedly.

Du You waved his hand dismissively, "Why talk about such things? It’s irrelevant to us now. We just need to focus on improving ourselves. Once we reach the sixth tier, we will be among the top figures even on Earth."

Now on Earth, the highest publicly known tier was six, anyone exceeding tier six would not show themselves, and no one knew how strong Earth’s true power was. Reaching tier six, Du You believed no one would dare underestimate him.

Of course, even now, Du You was considered a rising star.

Suddenly, Du You’s wristwatch rang, signaling an incoming call. When Du You checked, the caller was Xi Qianxue. Looking at the call records, it turned out she had been trying to reach him many times already.

"We finally got hold of you," said Xi Qianxue, a hint of resentment showing on her typically icy face, after not finding Du You for so long.

"Haha, I’ve been out handling some stuff," he replied.

"Is it about leveling up? What level are you at now?" Xi Qianxue asked as she looked at Du You, suddenly speaking up.

Du You replied with a laugh, "Haha, you really are Xi Qianxue. You can tell even through the screen. I’ve reached level 46 now, and after this I will start preparing to advance to level 49."

Xi Qianxue knew what this level threshold meant, but Du You’s increasingly rapid progress made her sigh. How could they keep up with his pace? Du You seemed as though he was using cheats with how fast his power was escalating. The gap between them showed no signs of narrowing.

After a sigh, Xi Qianxue said, "Do come to Central City when you have time. We have matters that require your approval."

"I can’t make it right now; the Law aura on me will take a few more days to dissipate," he replied.

"Then we’ll come to you," Xi Qianxue said somewhat irritatedly before turning off the video.

It wasn’t long before Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao came to Du You’s residence, bringing along Li Minglu. Now, Li Minglu had become the president of Du You’s company.

Although Li Minglu did not dare to criticize Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, he was nominally the highest authority in the company.

"What’s the matter, why had you even come along?" Du You was puzzled. Bringing Li Minglu meant it was not just a casual visit, but rather serious business.

"Boss, our company currently has two matters that need your decision," said Li Minglu.

"Let’s hear them." The issues requiring his decision were definitely not trivial and were beyond Li Minglu’s capacity to decide.

"The first matter involves two investments. We have identified two newly established domains that are promising. Although these worlds are not exclusively ours, they are tier-seven Otherworlds. They need external support, and I suggest offering favorable terms to secure investment opportunities. I’m confident that we can make returns within two years at most."

Du You reviewed the information Li Minglu provided about the two promising domains. Honestly, this was the typical way domains developed: allowing others to invest and then sharing part of the profits.

Du You’s method of relying solely on himself without seeking outside investment or allowing many others to assist was very rare. Being able to develop through one’s own efforts alone was nothing short of a miracle.

"Very well, both domains look good. I agree. You know the specifics better than I do, so you handle the negotiations," Du You said before signing the documents, causing Li Minglu to sigh in relief.

"Now for the second issue, our Harry Asteroid’s influence is increasing. It’s likely to reach a tier-six domain soon, so we need to start preparing," Li Minglu continued.

Du You nodded, "Leave it to me, I’ve always been preparing."

Du You pondered internally, Harry Asteroid’s development was not as rapid as his Shenghai Kingdom or even Holy Fox City; was there a need to hurry? Of course, he wouldn’t say this outright.
