Chapter 692: Chapter 692
Du You kept causing a ruckus while introducing, leaving the two sisters in a bind - whether to struggle or not. After Du You finished his introduction, the tension between them flared up again.
After much fussing, it was almost noon when the three of them finally came out of the room. The sisters looked a little out of sorts, as if they hadn’t slept well.
"Enough talking, hurry up and contact Sister Shaliya. Have our people come over as soon as possible to deal with things here."
Du You looked at the dispirited appearances of the sisters and was filled with a sense of pride. "Okay, let’s start contacting them."
Lin Yucha opened the communication tool and an image of the busy Shaliya appeared. "Lord, have you finished on your side?" Seeing Du You, she knew what he wanted. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Indeed, everything is ready, but I have one precious item. Send a Griffin Knight to take it back. This diagram is very important to us." Hearing this, Shaliya’s face turned serious.
Even though the troops at the territory are stretched thin on the surface, in actuality, all the soldiers amassed in the past two months have been covertly hidden, ready for deployment. So mobilizing some now is quite easy.
The people who came to negotiate in the afternoon had already arrived nearby, prepared well in advance. They claimed to be on a mission to clear the Wild Boar Ridge, and then headed in this direction. However, the locals did not hold any curiosity towards them and no one believed they would succeed.
In reality, the mission had already succeeded, they were merely there to clear the battlefield.
It wasn’t until late in the night when the Griffin Knights sent by Shaliya arrived. Du You handed the diagram to them, and after a salute, they departed, flying back with the diagram under the cloak of night.
Due to the delay, traveling further was out of the question for the day. The sisters had planned to rest early. "Master, we need to rest well tonight. We still have to travel tomorrow, so no more fooling around."
Faced with Lin Yucha’s righteous rejection, Du You helplessly spread his hands. "Alright, alright. I don’t need your company tonight. But it’s not that late yet, so you should be on guard for me first."
The two nodded, seeing no problem with guarding. They were pretty safe here. Even those seen around the Wild Boar Ridge were under Du You’s control.
Du You sat inside the tent, holding the Scroll of Spiritual Light in his hands, and started to burn green crystal coins to evolve. Being a third-tier player, to learn a skill, he could only evolve using green crystal coins.
Coin of any other tier was useless for Du You, and the same went for others.
This is why few people learn a large number of skills - they don’t have enough personal exclusive crystal coins.
It wasn’t Du You’s first time evolving a skill, and with the skill being highly compatible, he smoothly managed it. It took less than ten minutes for the new skill to show up on his panel.
After he woke up, Du You opened the panel and looked at his new skill.
Dark Spirit Light: Absorbs dark elements around to form a Dark Spirit Light Ball. Each Light Ball can restore 10% of its own magic power. The number of Light Balls is 10 + Level/10 (rounded to the closest whole number). (23rd level, 10 stars)
"Very good, the evolution was very successful. Each Light Ball recovers 2% more magic power, with a base number of 10. According to my current 23rd level skill, I can summon 12 Light Balls. I wonder how effective it will be."
When Du You who had emerged signaled the two sisters, and subsequently released his skills. Du You felt a concentration of spirituality in his surroundings but had no idea what was happening.
It just seemed that the dark elements in the feeling were alive. His own bit of Dark magic power served as a seed, merging with this bit of spirituality, attracting a flood of dark elements from its surroundings.
Small points of light appeared around Du You, ceaselessly rotating and growing while doing so. After more than half an hour, the first Light Ball matured. It looked like a black light ball the size of a child’s fist, revolving around Du You. Du You felt that as long as he didn’t intentionally disperse it, this Light Ball would always exist without any consumption.
"So this is the Dark Spirit Light. Ah, why can’t I touch it?" As Lin Yushi reached out to touch it, her hand passed right through. Lin Yushi pouted. Clearly, her master’s hand was able to touch it.
"This is probably because it was created by my magic power." Du You looked at the docile Light Ball, feeling a strong sense of intimacy. It was as though he was looking at his pet.
Unless attacked with magic power, these Light Balls could not be shattered. And if magic power could hit the Light Ball, it could equally hit himself. "I wonder how effective the recovery is, let’s test."
Du You unexpectedly used Shadow Teleport at a close range. His figure flickered, not moving very far, but his magic power was nearly depleted by a tenth. With a thought, the mature Light Ball disappeared into his body. He could feel his spiritual sea churn as magic power of the same source as his own appeared within.
Almost instantly, his magical power was replenished to full. At the moment his magic power reached the full mark, Du You found that there was no surplus magic power. The Light Ball did not release all its magic power at once.
As long as his magic power is full, the Light Ball will stop releasing power. The next moment, a Light Ball the size of a fingertip flew out of Du You’s body, continuing to absorb the surrounding dark elements for recovery.
"Nice. This is indeed a good spell. If used properly, I won’t run out of magic power. It’s a pity that its function overlaps with the Slaughter Badge." This skill would be best used in fights against a few high-level opponents. And even then, it would only work in the absence of other low-level people, otherwise, Du You’s Slaughter Badge could easily recover his magic power.
Moreover, it seemed that this skill could not be kept on all the time. Having black light balls revolving around oneself might make for a dazzling spectacle, but it could also raise suspicions and cause misunderstandings.
Most importantly, Du You preferred to lay low. Having light balls constantly surrounding him would make him too ostentatious. Wherever he went, he would draw a crowd, which was undesirable.
As someone who always preferred to stay hidden, such attention-seeking behavior wasn’t suitable for him. It seems like till he can control the movement of the Light Balls fully, he can’t have this skill on permanently.
