Chapter 855: Chapter 855

Afterwards, everyone returned to the World Boat. When Du You emerged, a crowd surrounded him as if they had just seen a celebrity.

Of course, a tier-four intruder in most regions of this world was almost akin to a celebrity. Especially a tier-four in the lower years of the academy, they were considered almost mythical.

"Du You, let’s be friends,"

"How do I look? Can I follow you from now on?" An attractive woman flirtatiously asked.

A crowd had surrounded him, which left Du You speechless. Were they always this direct? He hadn’t seen such behavior before. But well, Du You’s rapid advancement made him a promising investment that everyone wanted to capitalize on early.

As for the matter of Du You having other women, this world was not monogamous. Following a capable man could only bring benefits, both for the individual and their family.

"Let’s go." Realizing there was no way out, Du You activated the hidden feature with the two sisters, enveloping themselves in a mist of darkness. In the next instant, Du You flashed and disappeared from sight.

Shadow Teleport was just so convenient. The two sisters didn’t have such a convenient method but they threw an arrow and followed suite, teleporting away. Indeed, they threw the arrow – with their strength, they could throw it quite far.

Li Mengyao, who had wanted to say something to Du You, stomped her feet in frustration as he suddenly left.

A long while later, having gotten past the crowds and being invisible so no one could recognize Du You, he finally left the school with the two sisters. "Finally out, let’s rush home. That was way too terrifying."

"Hehe, master doesn’t think it felt quite nice? A lot of people like it,"

"Nice my ass, I don’t have time to waste on them."

Although Du You was somewhat thrilled, he knew that he owed it all to his strength. What Du You aimed for was to further ascend and stand at the pinnacle of this world, not to play celebrity games with these people.

The three of them headed home, and Du You had already decided once he had recovered, he would immediately head to the Yalan Continent to continue exploring and finding more materials suitable for their advancement.

Before Du You could get ready to leave, a message from Li Mengyao arrived.

"Li Mengyao? What’s up?" It was quite rare for her to contact him. But since they were friends and he couldn’t deny a certain fondness for this beautiful woman, he wouldn’t respond harshly.

"I need your help this time. You probably don’t need that undead summoning gear you used during the test anymore. I have someone here who desperately needs it. Don’t worry, you won’t just give it for free; you can pick something else in exchange,"

Li Mengyao handed Du You a list. Squinting his eyes, he pondered for a moment.

It seemed unexpected for someone to directly be interested in his gear and then to make a purchase – but it also in line with certain people’s behavior. Indeed, the Undead Armguard was powerful, but it was more so before his breakthrough.

Since advancing to tier four, the Undead Armguard hadn’t been of much use to him, especially now that he had the Demon Extermination Spirit skill, making the summoning ability of the Undead Armguard somewhat redundant. The rıghtful source is 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

And these items, they obviously weren’t of low value. Weighing his options, Du You finally pointed to a scroll and said, "I’ll choose this one."

Blood Rage Aura Scroll: Within the aura’s range, all allies have their attack strength slightly increased when they get attacked, with the increase potentially reaching up to twice their own. If not attacked within 3 seconds, the Blood Rage effect disappears. (Tier 1, 7-Star)

"This is good, it’s perfect for Yu Shi. We have the most summoned creatures, and such an aura would be quite effective for us," Lin Yucha liked this skill too.

"Let’s wait a bit. We don’t have enough Crystal Coins to upgrade, nor do we have the necessary materials. Besides, to learn it, finding a proper demon power extraction might offer us bigger benefits,"

Last time they advanced, they had exhausted all their Crystal Coins. Even if they had new materials, they wouldn’t be able to further their advancement upon returning.

"Have you made your choice? That’s a good pick," Li Mengyao smiled as she saw Du You’s choice.

Truthfully, Li Mengyao didn’t want to take advantage of Du You. Maintaining a good relationship with Du You could bring significant advantages later, regardless of what their relationship would become. It wasn’t worth souring their current relationship over such trivial exchanges.

"It’s settled then; I’m getting a bit of a deal here,"

"No, how could you think so? For those with plenty of magic power, having an Undead Armguard can help them earn a good amount of exclusive Crystal Coins, which is very useful for their future. Moreover, this aura isn’t much use for most people,"

Indeed, unless they had a large team or many summoned creatures. For most small teams, the effect of this aura wasn’t great. Of course, Du You’s own Dark Aura was actually even more extreme.

"Here, these are the attributes of the Undead Armguard," Du You projected the attributes.

Undead Armguard (Right Arm): Activating the armguard can summon a skeleton legion, number 10000, maximum level 26, duration 8 hours, cooldown 24 hours. (Dark Green)

"Indeed a good item, just as I thought. I’ll have someone send it over right away,"

After arranging everything, Li Mengyao arranged for someone to deliver the items to Du You, not coming herself, but sending a stranger. After completing the trade, the person left without saying much.

It was evident that the man carried himself with considerable pride, an attitude Du You wouldn’t necessarily appreciate.

"Alright, another visit to the material market, and then we head out." The aura of the Law around him had dissipated almost entirely; it was just a test after all, and it hadn’t lasted long or caused any major issues.

Such a brief period and moderately intense battle hadn’t affected Du You much.

The three entered the Magic Network and re-entered the junk-like material market. Speaking of which, a few days ago at the material market, Du You had indeed found something – another advancement material.

If not for that, Du You wouldn’t have been so keen on lingering in the material market. Probably many who came here shared his perspective, which was precisely why the material market existed. If there were no benefits, who would bother coming.
