Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703

Skalid had just turned around when Du You already reached out his hand. From the outside, it seemed like a simple gesture. But to Skalid, the entire sky became gloomy.

A special force directly restrained him, leaving no escape.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of the Dragon Clan? You’re no match for the Dragon Clan alone."

"If I’m their enemy, so be it. Besides, the Dragon Clan can’t possibly just oppose me alone."

As they spoke, Skalid’s huge body rapidly shrank. No, it wasn’t shrinking; it was being compressed into a special space. Moments later, Skalid resembled a bug trapped in amber, completely immobilized, even his thoughts were locked. His entire body shrank to the size of a fist, resting in Du You’s hand.

A transparent sphere enveloped him, looking like a crystal ornament. If someone observed closely, they would discover the powerful Spatial Law energy contained within, not something an average person could counter. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel※fire.net

"The battles from a while ago were indeed useful," Du You smiled.

If it weren’t for the techniques on laws he developed earlier, he wouldn’t have had this ability.

"I’ve never seen anyone use Spatial Law to this extent. Is this the power of Tier Eight?" Li Mengyao, who also possessed Spatial Law, looked at Du You enviously.

Du You nodded slightly, "It’s okay. Once you reach Tier Eight, you’ll be able to do this too."

"Reach Tier Eight? I don’t even know if I’ll have that opportunity."

"Based on your current talent and foundation, reaching Tier Eight should be no problem. As for Tier Nine, I’m not sure, but at least your foundation has no issues," Du You said earnestly.

Li Mengyao rolled her eyes. He was looking for reassurance, yet spoke so seriously. As if he didn’t know these things already—hadn’t they been discussed many times before?

But they all knew Du You’s character, so nobody said anything.

It seemed Du You realized his awkwardness, touching the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed. Did I say something wrong?

Just then, Lin Yucha suddenly spoke up, "Master, should we investigate this dragon’s mind? Maybe we can find some issues." Lin Yucha seemed to have thought of something.

Du You frowned and said, "Do you suspect... well, it’s true. Among the people from Tier Eight worlds we’ve encountered along the way, very few are from high-tier worlds. Most are loners, even the only one of Tier Eight in their world."

The Dragon Clan isn’t a small group, so it’s better to investigate. Du You used the power of Soul Law to penetrate Skalid’s mind. Though a bit rough, the level gap was too big for Skalid to resist. Du You could glean some basic information, but for more, it was impossible.

One reason was that Du You didn’t have a related skill, and another was that his mastery of Soul Law wasn’t at that level. Forcibly probing would yield nothing and could turn the guy into an idiot.

Du You felt a special defense deep in Skalid’s soul. Who knows if it was self-constructed or due to some other reason. In any case, Du You couldn’t break through this layer of defense.

"Master, have you found any information?" Lin Yushi asked beside him.

Du You said curiously, "The Dragon Clan is strange. They’ve always known this world’s coordinates, but they rarely come here."

"It’s not a problem. The Dragon Clan’s sense of time is different from ours. They usually won’t risk themselves just to improve; instead, they passively improve through long-term slumber. In fact, many of their strong members do just that."

Hearing what Xi Qianxue said, Du You didn’t find it odd.

"What I can’t understand is that typically Dragons wouldn’t come here, but this time a lot of them seem to have. Yet we’ve only seen this one along the way; it’s puzzling."

Thinking it over, Du You continued, "Furthermore, unlike other worlds, the Dragon Clan’s coordinate information hasn’t been spread. It’s still just known by the upper class, all Tier Seven and very few Tier Six. Additionally, those without enough strength are forbidden from coming to the Divine War grounds."

Although dragons are powerful, they’re full of treasures. Once isolated, they can easily become targets.

With so many worlds, even if a dragon is slain and its parts made into weapons, finding it would not be easy. Therefore, the Dragon Clan has strict policies for protecting its members.

That so many Dragons would arrive now is quite strange.

"Do you think it’s possible the Dragon Clan is behind this?" Elsa suddenly spoke up.

"It’s not entirely impossible. Dragon Island’s power is very strong, not inferior to Earth. If Dragon Island wanted to set up such a scenario, it wouldn’t be very difficult. But the question is, what is their purpose?"

Lin Yucha suddenly said, "We should report it first. We might have reached Tier Eight, but it’s impossible for us to know everything about the upper-level affairs." Their time at Tier Eight was too short, and this was their weak point.

Many matters at Tier Eight are passed orally, or known only upon encounter. These are issues of experience and insight. If Du You hasn’t experienced them, how could he know?

Things often overlooked are only remembered when issues arise; it’s quite normal.

Du You immediately uploaded the information, and shortly after, a reply came from the other side.

"We’re aware of the situation. Have those Tier Sevens at your side return immediately; it’s not their place to intervene. You might not be able to protect them if something goes wrong. As for you, continue your investigation over there, but be cautious. Also, send over that dragon; we need to examine his memory."

As they spoke, the points belonging to Du You were already awarded to him. Unfortunately, Tier Eight items were too scarce, unobtainable even with points, and this Tier Seven dragon couldn’t be exchanged for anything desirable.

"Alright, I understand." Du You used a special method supplied by the counterpart to send the space sphere away. Then he turned to Xi Qianxue and the others, who had heard the earlier conversation.

"No need to say anything. We already know. Although we want to stand by you, we won’t become your burden."
