Chapter 721: Chapter 721

"I have already killed 58 demons on my side, two more than you have."

"Oh really, now we have more on our side, we’ve exceeded your count."

The two women chatted while moving forward, their verbal sparring setting off sparks in the air. Everyone around them dared not approach too closely.

Du You trailed behind with his two sisters, observing their banter like a spectator. Du You did not expect Xi Qianxue to have this combative side—truly one thing subdues another.

A smile tugged at the corners of Du You’s mouth. Sensing something, both women glanced back simultaneously. Du You felt a chill and quickly bowed his head, pretending that nothing had happened.

Their perception was indeed sharp, causing even an experienced person like himself to feel cold.

Thankfully, this did not last long. Within an hour, the group reached their destination.

An academy assistant was already waiting for them. The reason no formal instructors came was because none of them had a power level lower than the fourth tier, making it impossible for them to enter this world.

"Very good, now that you’ve all arrived, your mission begins. As the new generation of the academy, I don’t require impressive performances from you, but this is a golden opportunity to experience the battlefield firsthand. You may argue that you’ve experienced battlefields before, but a demon battlefield is different. Regardless of your power level, anyone who arrives here could potentially die. I urge you to take this experience to heart."

Not allowing the students much time to ponder, the assistant continued: "Now, anyone who hasn’t reached the third tier, stay behind for logistical support and to kill any stragglers."

Pointing to the rear, the assistant continued: "Those who have reached the third-tier power level, move north. Someone will greet you there. You will receive your tasks from them."

As a result, those who had reached the third-tier power level slowly stepped forward, readying their teams.

Xi Qianxue summoned her three teammates to her side. These people had not reached the third tier. However, their class was unique, apart from Xi Qianxue, there was also a Baobao who looked like a husky.

Finally, there was Du You. The two followers he brought were also of the third tier. Altogether, the class suddenly had three third-tier individuals, equal to the combat power of five third-tier power levels, which was quite impressive.

As for Li Mengyao’s class, it was somewhat poorer, with only Li Mengyao attaining the third-tier power level. This put a scowl on her face.

But Li Mengyao’s sole teammate was even more impressive. A figure cloaked in a cape who seemed to be a female and was also of third-tier strength.

In terms of teammates, that one person was more powerful than all the people around Xi Qianxue.

The two women exchanged a glance and simultaneously humphed, their eyes having clashed multiple times already.

"All this squabbling...why do they have to take competition so far?" Du You shook his head. After registering, he headed north. Likewise, others set off in the same direction.

Du You noted that although there were not many first-year students who reached the third tier, there were definitely not a few. For this gathering, there were probably more than eighty people who reached the third-tier strength.

Subtracting those who did not return, there could perhaps be more than a hundred first-year students who reached the third tier.

However, once you have reached the third tier, it is difficult to break through to the fourth tier. In the entire academy, each year hardly anyone can reach the fourth tier. The third to fourth tier is a significant hurdle.

Seeing the groups trekking north, although the distance between each group was not vast, each maintained an ambiguous distance from the others. After all, the Other World is filled with dangers, and no one knows what will happen. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

In such situations, it’s normal to be aloof towards unfamiliar people.

There was still a long distance between the front line and the rear. After three days of walking, they finally reached the front line where the people from the academy and outsiders were charging out like crazy.

"How can there be so many people? Can our academy rally so many people?"

This was just one battlefield, but there were already so many people.

Someone nearby scoffed: "It’s just the herd mentality. Do you really think our academy has so many people? Previously, our academy issued a message stating that a general offensive was about to start, so many people are just waiting to stir the pot."

Understanding dawned in Du You’s eyes: "I see. That makes sense. The academy deployed tens of thousands of people, attracting people affiliated with the academy to join, thereby swelling the number. These people in turn enticed those who have been in this world for years, further inflating the numbers. Although these people are not strong individually, collectively they pose a formidable force."

"Moreover, even though these people will join the battle, they won’t compete with the academy for control of the world since they aren’t part of an organization. Ultimately, the control of the world will still fall into the hands of Capital University."

"Having powerhouses who do not share in the spoils—why wouldn’t they want such partners?"

"Enough talking. Now that we’ve arrived, we should focus on killing as many demons as possible. If we find any Demon Gates, that would be even better. I heard that if you destroy many Demon Gates, the final rewards can be very substantial."

"Forget it, there must be countless demons near the Demon Gates. Approaching might not even be possible. Better to kill more demons and accumulate some Crystal Coins. With so many demons here, the payout is certain to be substantial. If there weren’t so many people around, I would never dare to come."

Not everyone is like Du You, who doesn’t lack dedicated Crystal Coins. Most people’s Crystal Coins are severely limited. Otherwise, such an opportunity wouldn’t draw in so many people.

"Many geniuses might emerge from this battle. Let’s move, we can’t be left behind."

People nearby already started rushing to the front. Looking ahead, swarm after swarm of demons were rushing towards them. If not for the outnumbering human force, they might not be able to hold them off.

"Let’s go." Du You prompted his sisters, heading to the front.

The others who arrived with Du You also moved forward. It might still be some time before they splinter off. Du You did not concern himself with the others. Now it was time to strive for himself. He had not forgotten the primary reason he had come to this world.
