Chapter 477: Chapter 477
"Master, we took that guy down." Lin Yushi bounced over to Du You, shaking his arm excitedly. Du You let out a bitter smile and released the spell he had been preparing.
These two had really grown up, and could now truly be of help to him.
If it had been just him before, he would not have been able to hold the enemy back, and could only watch as Square Five escaped.
However, Square Five had no resistance when faced with the two sisters. That’s the way assassins were. They were dangerous and powerful attackers, but their defense was weak. If you caught them off guard, they were easily swept away.
"Why are these two beauties calling him ’master’? What is their relationship?"
Following this address, some people’s faces turned strange. The sisters’ performance during the past two days was plain to see - their strength and terrible attack power.
Either one of them, individually, was as strong as the elite from Capital University. If the two of them teamed up, they could take on three to four of them. Their performance was splendid.
Many people initially thought the two sisters were new students at Capital University, not knowing their true identities.
"The two of them are followers of Du You, younger than us. It’s said they should have taken the college entrance exam in the next session." Someone explained.
"What a piece of luck, to have such formidable followers."
They knew those who could be brought in must be staunch followers, or rather slaves. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
However, there were conditions to be a staunch follower. Their level could not surpass the master’s, and the master had to invest significant resources for their cultivation. Otherwise, many would bring staunch followers with them.
A good staunch follower was hard to come by. Most turned out to be useless and a hindrance to oneself. Du You’s followers were truly the envy of many.
At this moment, many discussions about the sudden event were happening outside.
The identities of Du You and the two sisters were publicly revealed. Many people’s eyes lit up. Du You’s performance alone was impressive. If you added his two excellent followers, his value increased significantly, drawing many to him.
Square Five from War God Academy showed a surprising performance, drawing much attention.
"The ability of the assassin is quite good. If it wasn’t for Du You’s strong defense and quick reflexes, regular people would not have been able to block his assassination. It seems we need to establish some connections."
A strong assassin was often a great threat to the opponent, even more valuable than a strong mage like Du You. After all, one could replace a powerful mage, but not necessarily an assassin.
The discussion outside was getting more intense, while things on the inside were winding down.
After Square Five’s failed assassination attempt, there were no major conflicts. Everyone focused on demonstrating their strengths at the front of the fortress, almost like it had become a performance contest.
When the time came, Du You found he couldn’t move. The whole space was locked.
The next moment, everyone was surrounded by rings of light. As the rings flickered, everyone was sent back to the World Boat. Everything was different from before.
Du You could see the signs of battle on many people, but their injuries were no longer visible after they returned. As for equipment, if it was damaged, individuals had to pay for repairs themselves. The Academy did not take responsibility.
"You all performed very well, especially Du You. Go rest now. In the next few days, many people will contact you. I believe you all have your plans. If not, don’t join any forces easily. First clarify everything. That’s it, you’re dismissed."
Xi Qianxue said loudly to those around her. Through this battle, Xi Qianxue finally established her leadership.
At least in class, Xi Qianxue’s authority was even stronger than that of Class President Baobao. Of course, after Baobao had mental issues, his influence likely decreased significantly.
Xi Qianxue nodded to Du You. Du You was baffled, but just waved and led the two sisters away.
Due to the Academy selection, they had delayed picking out equipment for the two sisters.
Just as they left, Du You looked up at the big screen. It displayed the contrast between Capital Academy and War God Academy during the College Battle.
Capital Academy: 3208 casualties, 86% of the map occupied
War God Academy: 5542 casualties, 24% of the map occupied
There was a series of other data below, but it was clear to any observer that War God Academy had lost, and lost terribly. After the battle, the War God Academy students felt humiliated.
The older students were even more furious. "Damn it, how come this batch of freshman is so weak? Although we were not as good as Capital University, we performed far better, keeping pace."
"Hmm, what do you count your session for, our session was the real deal. We nearly crushed Capital University."
"Hmph, was it your credit? Wasn’t it because of that person?"
The argument grew more heated, but no one intervened. There were cheers on the side of Capital University.
Soon after they left, Du You received numerous messages. He had no idea how these people found his wrist watch number. Left with no choice, Du You had to set his watch to "do not disturb" mode for strangers. Only then did he get some peace. He hadn’t realized his performance would attract so much attention.
"You two should also turn off your wrist watches. I’m worried if they can’t contact me, they’ll turn to you."
As expected, as soon as Du You finished speaking, their wrist watches rang. Neither of them fancied mingling with others for now, so they shut their wrist watches off and followed Du You out.
"Next, I’m planning to build up our territory. We’ve learned a lot about land development recently. Let’s prepare a few things first. I’ve already gathered the material needed for territory construction. This time is mainly for you two to choose equipment."
At his words, the two sisters cheered. They clung onto Du You, one on each side, and started walking. They had never gone shopping with Du You before. Seeing the girls’ excitement, Du You grinned. It was truly a sweet sight.
"Remember, you promise to reward me well tonight." Du You barely finished his sentence when he felt the grip on his arm tighten from both sides.
