Chapter 560: Chapter 560

After an indeterminate amount of time, the dark elements around Du You reflect a strange sense of immersion, as if the entire basement has fallen into an eeriness so silent, it was deathly quiet.

As Du You slowly opens his eyes, these dark elements become a bit more active and begin to disperse.

"The new skill seems quite powerful." Du You exclaims with a tinge of heartache, "It was originally a magic-type skill, but why does the transformation require so many red crystal coins? I only have a few left."

The red crystal coins Du You is referring to are his personally-owned ones. After using this skill, there aren’t many left. He would have to wait until they enter the new world to gather more red crystal coins in order to develop new skills for the two sisters.

Keep in mind, the red crystal coins he has were all earned from the last battle, along with those gained from cleaning up the second-tier magical beasts by the two sisters. Now, he barely has more than a hundred left. With such high consumption, it’s quite distressing if the skill level is not enough.

"Xiaozi, come out. Let’s test this," Du You waved his hand, summoning Xiaozi.

Xiaozi tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why its master had just sent her away only to summon her again.

"Come here, attack me with your strongest attack."

Despite the confused look on Xiaozi’s face, she ultimately released a Thunder Light Orb. Xiaozi clearly remembered the last time she attacked her master’s shield spell with a Thunder Light Orb at their old home, which caused quite a commotion.

This time, hopefully, nothing will happen. After all, animals can’t worry about such things.

A Thunder Light Orb flew towards Du You, and a black barrier appeared before his eyes. Unlike the semi-transparent barrier formed by the shield spell, this one was a deep black color and round in shape. If you look closely, you can even see the round shield slowly rotating. Or rather, it’s not actually slow. It’s just that the rotation is so fast, it seems slow by comparison.

A Thunder Light Orb struck the barrier and then disappeared silently.

After feeling its effect, Du You realized that this Dark Absorption skill does not consume as much magic power as his shield spell, even when active. Yet, when it encounters an attack, its consumption increases.

He further discovered that the essence of this spell is to use dark elements to absorb and dissolve other forces, forcibly absorbing and dissolving other forces. But to absorb other forces, it requires its own magic power supply.

"Continue," Du You commanded. Xiaozi, surprised that her attack hadn’t caused any disturbance, was also slightly taken aback.

So Thunder Light Orbs were launched one after another. In the end, Xiaozi launched nine consecutive Thunder Light Orbs. After the nine Thunder Light Orbs successively hit the Dark Absorption barrier, Du You finally felt the spell reach its limit.

It wasn’t due to insufficient magic power, but that the Dark Absorption’s speed of drawing his magic power couldn’t keep up. After the ninth Thunder Light Orb was absorbed, the dark shield finally shattered.

"Perfect, it’s fantastic," Du You began to laugh heartily. He had gained another powerful defensive spell.

The advantage of the shield spell is its speed. It has stronger defense and larger coverage.

Dark Absorption isn’t as extreme, it requires some preparation. Yet, its consumption during continuous casting is minimal, allowing for long-term use. Although its defense is not as powerful as the shield spell, it is still very strong, particularly being a 10-star skill.

Generally speaking, few enemies could break through his Dark Absorption.

While Xiaozi’s attacks were quite terrifying, they were still unable to penetrate it, which put things into perspective.

After the shield spell is broken, it requires a recovery period before it can be reused. Now with Dark Absorption, he can cover that gap. By using two defensive spells interchangeably, his defensive strength has been further enhanced. Coupled with the Star Guardian’s passive attack spell, his defense is stronger than a meat shield.

Ignoring the curious gaze and many questions from Xiaozi, Du You waved his hand and sent Xiaozi away. Then he left the basement with a smile on his face. Upon exiting, he embraced his two bewildered sisters, and they chatted delightfully.

Starting from the next day, Du You, who generally has nothing to do, began to devote his main energy to the Magic Network.

He paid particular attention to information regarding territories, "So this is the limitation for the upgrade of functional buildings."

Du You discovered that there were many ways to upgrade functional buildings. The most common methods are to upgrade blueprints or use higher-level blueprints. However, there is another method - according to the provided information, gather the required materials.

These materials are all found in the present world. Similar building upgrades may not necessarily use the same materials, but the materials will definitely exist in the current world. This is a rule.

Theoretically, the level of the functional buildings can be as high as the level of the current world. But in practice, it doesn’t work that way. The closer to the world level, the more valuable the required materials. Also, you may not be able to find the same materials in other worlds, because this in itself is a manifestation of the World Law.

Therefore, few people can use this method to upgrade buildings to an equivalent level of the world. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

If the blueprint skill is higher than the current world level, then the world cannot bear this type of functional building. In other words, functional buildings can only be at most the same level as the world, and cannot exceed it.

Knowing this, Du You was no longer worried about the upcoming territory upgrade.

The level of the Yalan Continent is not low. Du You doesn’t know how high this world level is, but he is sure that this world definitely has masters of the fifth tier or even higher.

This means that the lowest strength level is the sixth-tier. Whether it can reach the seventh-tier, Du You doesn’t know.

If he’s too weak, it’s better not to investigate too many things, it could be very dangerous.

Two days later, Du You discovered that another group building a territory had returned, including the graduating senior who had persuaded many students to join in the territory construction.

These people had all combined efforts to enter that world before, and they seemed to have built quite a lot. Du You noticed that many of the returnees had smiles on their faces, though some didn’t.

Du You wasn’t concerned with those differences but was rather intrigued by the abundance of information on territory construction that they brought back. The more people who joined, the more problems were discovered, many of which Du You hadn’t considered. He could avoid many potential mistakes in the future based on their experiences. The key point is that Du You also received new information.
