Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258

With Du You serving as the arrowhead, bolstered by a large number of tier-five military forces from the academy, the advance went extremely smoothly. The elves were able to hold out for less than three hours before they completely collapsed. The academy spared no thought for environmental concerns in dealing with the elves.

After a special concoction was sprinkled, various trees and plants withered en masse, continuously crumbling. Even the Tree People were affected by this concoction, which was useless on animals but devastating to plants.

By the time Du You led his forces to the Elf Kingdom, there were no longer any elf masters left in this place.

"They are truly stubborn, best to just get it over with. It’s enough to leave some as breeding stock."

Upon seeing the elves’ refusal to surrender, the academy’s upper class didn’t hesitate to order a slaughter. Such actions were not new to them, having been carried out across many worlds. Few who could become high-end Professionals would be concerned about such matters.

Tier-five, rightfully called destroyers, possessed an overwhelming destructive power.

Even if the elves had always been the rulers of this world, and even if they were very proud, when faced with an invincible enemy and after a great many of their number had been slaughtered, the remaining elves finally lost their confidence and surrendered unconditionally.

The upper class of the academy spared some of the elves, not to preserve the species, but because elves were highly valuable as slaves, perfect for the world to cultivate for elf slave labor. Even within the academy, many facilities relied on a large number of elf slaves to serve humanity.

But just when Du You was ready to press on further, an instructor from the academy suddenly appeared before him.

"Du You, please wait a moment." Upon hearing this, Du You stopped.

Turning to look, Du You asked in puzzlement, "What’s the matter? We’re almost done with the last of the elves."

Cold sweat broke out on the instructor’s forehead, unable to help it, as the pressure from Du You was simply too great. Although still a student, Du You was far stronger than him, as evidenced by the recent events.

The power in his casual attacks was stronger than his own full-force assaults, and the relentless, continuous strikes up until now showed no sign of how much magic power he had expended, still without a hint of breathlessness.

This was not just about having a method to restore magic power; Du You’s own magic power reservoir had to be vast to sustain such efforts.

Usually, it was them who suppressed students, but this was the first time an instructor had been utterly overpowered by a student’s aura. As for Du You, he was baffled; he hadn’t done anything, so why did this instructor seem so constrained? Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Well, beyond here is the territory where the unicorns live. Our academy’s research on unicorns is quite formidable, so this place needs to be preserved as a breeding ground for unicorns."

"I see, leave it then," Du You said indifferently, as he already possessed a unicorn himself.

Moreover, just because many unicorns are bred does not mean they can be easily tamed as pets. Unicorns have peculiar temperaments, and it’s not easy to gain their approval. Du You’s success with the unicorn had been a fluke.

Relieved at Du You’s compliance, the instructor finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Du You had insisted, he would have been helpless. He would face discipline upon returning, as the academy would not deal with a student of Du You’s potential and talent. Caught in the middle was frankly troublesome, the instructor thought to himself.

As for others wanting to see their idol, Du You ignored them entirely, finding a quiet place to sit down.

After all, if these people’s strengths didn’t earn his approval and he didn’t know them, why should he engage in polite but meaningless interactions? As for building networks, Du You cared even less.

In Du You’s mind, as long as he possessed enough strength, others would curry favor with him, not the other way around. In this world, strength was ultimately what mattered most.

By the end of the day, the unicorns had been rounded up. All of the elf high class were exterminated, and any Tree People were sought out and destroyed; the entire power of the elf leadership was eradicated.

At that moment, the controlling powers of the world were activated. Two enormous pillars of light shot up into the sky, followed by a collision of world wills. The will of this world would little by little be consumed and replaced by the will of Earth. A distant beam of light was visible too, though it was too far to see clearly, yet it was still visible.

The academy’s upper class exchanged knowing looks; Du You had indeed established a territory in this world.

Time passed unmarked, and as the brilliance gradually faded, Du You could sense a special change in the world. Although the feeling was not very clear, it was perceptible, signifying, perhaps, the alteration of the world’s will.

Du You could feel these changes partly because his own strength had increased and partly because the world’s level was not high, having barely reached tier-five; his strength was now reaching the ceiling. Otherwise, he would not have been able to perceive such changes. Of course, these sensations weren’t without benefits for Du You, just not immediately apparent.

Suddenly, Du You’s communicator lit up. He opened it to see Xi Qianxue on the other side.

"How effective was our conquest? How much have we occupied?"

Xi Qianxue immediately replied, "Very good. We’ve taken 30% of this world’s Origin, with an income of 32,000 Crystal Coins per day." This amount was substantial, even for many companies.

"Not bad at all, almost catching up to the income from Central City."

While Central City only accounted for 10%, its daily income from Crystal Coins was 34,000 considering the higher level of the giants’ world. However, Central City’s daily expenditures were also high, which meant the gap between the two territories’ incomes narrowed even further.

"Once we return, let’s set up a portal and place the territory under the company’s name."

"Are you willing to part with it?" Du You asked curiously. "Wouldn’t keeping a territory to yourself be more beneficial for your development? Maybe in just a few years, you could reach tier-five."

Reaching tier-five before graduation was an enviable benchmark that anyone would aspire to.

"No need. We had already agreed from the start. Besides, with the aid of your company, my advancement won’t be slow."

"And me, don’t forget about me. Don’t think to leave us out," Li Mengyao also chimed in from beside them.

Du You spread his hands helplessly: "Alright, as you wish. The ones benefiting are me, after all." He truly didn’t understand what these two were thinking; although their relationship was somewhat ambiguous, was such a large offering really necessary?
