Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540

The next ability, which comes with a shadow effect, can dodge physical attacks to a certain extent.

This skill was something Du You rarely used before, as he didn’t want to put himself in a position to be attacked by enemies. To Du You, this skill felt like a minor convenience. So, even though the skill was powerful, Du You didn’t think too highly of it.

If he were a Warrior, this skill would be quite terrifying. But he was a Magic-class Professional.

Of course, having an added chance to dodge attacks was still very useful.

The next two skills, however, were the real essence of his bloodline advancement. These were abilities that emerged after his bloodline had evolved. One was an absorption skill, which allowed him to absorb various attacks to restore himself. It could heal not just his injuries but also replenish his Yuan Power.

Du You instantly saw the true potential of this ability. This could actually integrate with his skill Dark Absorption for further use. Once the Dark Absorption skill advanced, its power would become even more terrifying.

Originally, in terms of defensive capability, it was not on par with the Yuan Power Shield. But with the addition of this new ability, Du You believed that in terms of defense, his Dark Absorption could likely match the Yuan Power Shield. The difference would merely lie in the method of defense.

The last new skill was Law Repulsion. Previously, Du You wouldn’t have known what this skill was for. But now, he had gained a deep understanding. He even suspected that it was because of his recent injury that he acquired such a skill. Bloodline advancement was also a process of natural activation of latent bloodline potential.

If he had possessed this skill earlier, his previous injuries might not even have qualified as injuries.

The Law Power involved would have been directly repelled, leaving no trace of effect on him.

Additionally, this skill also enhanced the influence of his own Laws on others, indirectly increasing his offensive capabilities. While not a direct offensive skill, it allowed enemies to endure damage for a longer period.

This kind of ability had many applications in various situations, something Du You could naturally feel.

Having reached this point in understanding his bloodline advancement, Du You felt he had grasped the basics.

To gain a deeper understanding, he would need to engage in battles and slowly adapt through experience. Clenching his fist, he realized that the massive boost in power had made him slightly uncomfortable. The feeling of swelling pride, which had not surfaced in a long time, was back again.

But Du You didn’t mind. He knew that after several battles, especially intense ones, this sense of discomfort would disappear. For now, however, he would take the time to get used to it over the next couple of days.

"We’ll stay here for two days before heading back. I’m sure quite a few people are eyeing the materials in my possession."

Du You revealed a faint smile. He was fully aware of what the bodies of five seven-tier dragons represented.

The two sisters nodded slightly and stayed with Du You for three days instead of two. That’s right—three days. As Du You recovered, he felt his inner desires grow stronger, and in the end, he couldn’t resist.

As a result, they stayed there for an extra day, until the two sisters were utterly exhausted and could take no more. The next morning, Lin Yucha, radiating a lazy charm, summoned the Platform Floating Cloud, and they leisurely began their journey back.

In the Starry Sky, a cloud certainly stood out, but nobody paid much attention. With their auras tightly restrained, even if a seven-tier powerhouse happened to pass by, they wouldn’t realize anyone was hidden inside.

The lack of their own faction in this situation significantly reduced the chances of exposure.

After a day of flight, the two sisters had recovered, but Du You, frustrated by the slow pace, finally accelerated their speed and returned quickly. When Du You appeared, he caused an uproar.

"Oh my god, is that Lord Du You? He looks so young! I can feel it—Lord Du You isn’t even a hundred years old!"

"What do you mean a hundred? You clearly don’t know enough about Lord Du You. He hasn’t even graduated from Capital University yet, which means he’s not even thirty!"

This revelation left many people even more astonished. Not even thirty? What were they doing at that age? Most were probably still forming teams for small-time adventures. Some didn’t even dare venture on their own at that point.

Every adventure required significant time for recovery and preparation. Thinking back, they realized just how mediocre they had been.

Listening to these discussions around him, Du You’s lips curved into a subtle smile. He had become a significant figure now. Only amidst such a crowd did Du You truly perceive it clearly.

However, Du You had no intention of speaking to them. After landing, he waved his hand, releasing the bodies of the five giant dragons. As dust filled the air, everyone gasped when the enormous corpses came into view.

Du You was quite satisfied with this reaction. Long before returning, he had heard countless people questioning him.

These weren’t ordinary people. In fact, Du You had no clue where such doubts originated, but he could confirm that someone was definitely stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Whether it was the Shadow Council or some other faction causing trouble, Du You didn’t really know. It was clear, however, that fame came with scrutiny. And Du You was no longer merely famous; he had risen to the pinnacle of power.

But all the doubts vanished the moment the five dragon corpses were revealed.

Even in death, the five dragons exuded an overwhelming aura. Just sensing it clearly confirmed that they were undoubtedly seven-tiered beings. This was something no one could fake.

The surrounding crowd marveled in awe, and Du You couldn’t help but feel the satisfaction. This show of strength had gone perfectly, even though he hadn’t planned to flaunt it.

"Is there anyone to handle these bodies? Once they’ve been processed, report the points to me. I plan to exchange them for equipment. These corpses are of no use to me. The alliance can do with them however it sees fit."

Du You’s voice rang with calm authority, and the crowd finally snapped out of their shock. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Yes, yes, Lord Du You, this way, please. We’ve prepared a specialized facility, and we can provide everything you need. You can trust us completely with the processing; we are professionals, and no one would dare falsify the reports."

Du You carried himself with a commanding presence. Even the seven-tier powerhouses who weren’t particularly fond of him refrained from openly opposing him at this moment. After all, Du You was now undeniably a hero of the alliance.

Moreover, with three companions by Du You’s side, anyone seeking trouble would need to deal with all three at once. However, no one had the courage to stand alongside such formidable figures.
