Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370
Listening to these words that seemed to be either a threat or a warning, Du You curled his lips. He was the type who would take things easy but not bow to pressure; however, he knew this was also a necessity for the job, for the good of the Earth as a whole.
So, in Du You’s view, he probably had no choice but to swallow this resentment.
Although Du You was one to hold grudges and seek revenge, he was not unreasonable; such substantiated, harmless matters would probably only get his support, even if he knew about them. Frustrated, Du You was in no mood to open the Light Ball and treasure chest, and simply flew back with his two companions.
On the way back, Du You remembered these items. When he opened the Light Ball, perhaps because the Dragon King had already given him his share of benefits, there wasn’t much of interest inside, leaving him with misplaced anticipation.
On the other hand, there were a lot of Crystal Coins. After giving it some thought, Du You didn’t hesitate and started to upgrade his own level, forcefully elevating himself, his two sisters, and Qi Pao to level 56, reaching the peak of the mid-tier six. To fully harness this power, however, he needed to go back to the Skill Hall for assistance in refining his skills.
Even so, Du You was confident that he could now fight against those who were in the late stages of tier six.
If he had been before, he believed that even if he had fought the Dark Dragon head-on, Du You would not have lost. Of course, killing the opponent would probably not have been so easy.
Among the contents of the treasure chest, Du You saw a Skill Crystal Stone, and the skill turned out to be Dragon Might.
"What do I need this for? Who would learn such a skill? Forget it, perhaps someone will - what’s going on?"
Du You was being self-deprecating when suddenly he felt a longing within him, and then a force actually absorbed Dragon Might. Once the Skill Crystal Stone vanished, Du You patted himself down; everything seemed normal, so he opened his status panel.
Dragon Might, passive, increases own imposing presence, reduces the impact of spiritual and soul type skills on oneself. (Strengthened)
The Dragon Might skill that came with his lineage had changed, and the word "Strengthened" was added afterward. Through some testing, Du You found that the power of his Dragon Might had doubled.
But as he barely used this ability, he didn’t pay much attention to it. It’s just that he wasn’t sure whether his mental defense capabilities had also doubled - that was something he couldn’t test. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Neither Du You nor his two sisters were particularly adept at using spiritual or soul-type skills, so they would have to try that out themselves in future battles.
When Du You returned to the gathering area, the first thing he did was send the disk back; being monitored felt too uncomfortable, it was something he didn’t want to experience a second time.
Seeing the person who sold him the item smiling, Du You felt like punching him.
Such practices were likely commonplace for them, which is why they seemed so natural about it; Du You had really believed that the disk was an essential item. Now it seemed likely that only this place functioned .
The reason the Academy brought him here and then left without forming a team was not because of the rules here; it was to test him as a newcomer. Even though he was an important collaborative partner to the Academy and had strong potential, the Academy still could not break the rules.
However, after this incident, Du You was absolutely never going to team up with the Academy again.
With a chip on his shoulder, Du You, being the petty person he was, couldn’t just act like nothing happened.
After returning, Du You took care of some things and then started looking around. When he brought out the Dark Scimitar skill, the skill exchange store handed Du You a list.
Du You browsed for a while and finally found a skill. "This skill, well, its value is similar to yours, so let’s just call it equal exchange," the other party said, handing over the Shadow Spirit Light Ball Skill Crystal Stone to Du You.
"Master, why did you choose such a skill?"
Du You spoke with a smile: "It’s not easy to come across such a skill. Haven’t you noticed? I actually lack a conventional attack skill in the regular sense." The two sisters thought for a moment and it seemed to be true.
In battles, Du You usually employed what? For single-target attacks, Disintegration Spell was the first skill he used. Although powerful, it belonged to the category of rule-type spells. Du You always attacked those stronger than himself, who had high resistance, so this skill was usually ineffective. Nowadays, Du You rarely used it.
Subsequently, Devouring Swamp was an area-of-effect skill with slight attack capabilities, and Dark Fire Dragon was a control skill, with any attack being secondary, which was inadequate. To compensate, Du You added other attacking skills.
Dark Flame Arrow Array was an area-of-effect attack skill. Although it could also be used as a single arrow, or converge the arrows together, the attack was too diffuse to be strong against single targets and was ineffective against powerful opponents.
Energy Gathering Magic Cannon was a skill Du You later compensated with, a big move with enormous attack power, with the downside being the charge time. It could still be used without charging, although there would still be a slight delay. Since it was a straight-line attack, Du You’s Magic Tunnel could enhance it, but Magic Lock wouldn’t work, and hitting agile enemies was no simple feat.
Upon careful consideration, Du You’s arsenal indeed lacked a standard attack skill, especially for single-targets. Such skills weren’t rare; it’s just that none caught Du You’s eye until now.
Du You quickly settled down with his two sisters and began to condense the Shadow Spirit Light Ball.
Shadow Spirit Light Ball: Concentrates dark energy into a spirit light ball to attack enemies from afar. The Shadow Spirit Light Ball is imbued with dark element attacks and possesses significant rule damage, ignoring all defenses. It comes with a Shadow Light Ball strike; each Shadow Light Ball’s attack power is 1/10th of the Shadow Spirit Light Ball, with the number equal to the level × 1, and the Shadow Light Balls do not possess rule damage. (Level 56, 10-star)
The skill was basically tier five, not as high as Dark Scimitar, but had a special power. This ability significantly increased the value of the Shadow Spirit Light Ball – exceptional rule damage.
This made the skill partially rule-based. Rule damage, ignoring regular defenses, was very effective against mobs, second only to Disintegration Spell. Most importantly, it had formidable attack power.
It was followed by the attacks of the Shadow Light Balls. While they lacked rule damage, the large quantity meant the overall lethality surpassed even the Shadow Spirit Light Ball itself. For enemies with high resistance, the effect was significant.
Fifty-six Shadow Light Balls, with each having one-tenth the lethal power - when added together, that’s a staggering 5.6 times more damage; truly terrifying.
