Chapter 896: Chapter 896

"Is this market provided by our academy?" Du You forcibly changed the subject.

"Exactly, it was prepared by our academy and it’s also for the convenience of taking over this world."

Du You seemed to think of something, "It seems they’ve exerted too much pressure." By ’they’, Du You was referring to the Alliance Comprehensive Academy. They had two territories to develop here, giving them a bit too much advantage.

Since his own territory wasn’t exposed, nobody knew about it yet. The pressure from his arch-rivals was immense, so the academy put forth this market space to forcibly boost their own contribution. That way, even if the opponents had a great advantage, the academy wouldn’t end up being suppressed by them in the end – that must be the plan.

Of course, although that’s what he thought, there was no need to say it out loud.

"Let’s take a look at the map here first, then set off. If there’s a chance, let’s cooperate." The rıghtful source is 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Du You waved his hand, leading the two sisters toward the direction of the common market. Watching Du You’s retreating figure, Li Mengyao’s eyes seemed a bit dazed, flickering uncertainly.

"Stop staring, you two are not in the same world," Xi Qianxue suddenly said.

Li Mengyao appeared indifferent, "How do you know we’re not? His performance is outstanding. If he reaches tier five before graduation, there won’t be any problems."

"Tier five? Even in the history of Capital University, there have only been a few who reached tier five before graduation. Although Du You is quite special," Xi Qianxue said with her head lowered, her heart uncertain about Du You’s capabilities.

"Tier five and tier four are not the same; tier four is a process of accumulation, but tier five doesn’t require any special conditions. As long as you complete the advancement quest, you can easily advance without needing any materials for skill improvement."

"That’s true, but who knows how long the accumulation for tier four will take," Xi Qianxue said.

"Du You already has several tier four skills, right? The accumulation definitely won’t be slow," Li Mengyao added.

Suddenly, Xi Qianxue lifted her head, a curious expression on her face, "You’re not really smitten with him, are you?"

"So what if I am? When such an outstanding person comes along, you have to grab the chance or you’ll miss it. Don’t think that by saying this, I won’t compete with you, or, perhaps, we can join forces," Li Mengyao challenged Xi Qianxue with a provocative look.

Xi Qianxue replied with annoyance, "I didn’t expect you to have such vulgar ideas." After that, Xi Qianxue turned and walked away. But she didn’t know why she felt a special emotion stirring inside her.

Watching Xi Qianxue’s somewhat flustered figure, Li Mengyao couldn’t help laughing. In her battles of wits with this woman, the chances to come out on top were few; this time, she felt it was finally a victory.

Unaware of what these two were up to, Du You had led the two sisters to the common market area. There were already quite a few items displayed on the stalls. Of course, these were all common goods. The items with real value were kept in the special market, specifically to protect those things.

After all, using the world market required a fee, and purchasing items also came with a handling charge.

Hence, there was no need to go in for items that weren’t significant. Most of the visitors this time were tier two and tier three, and the tier two trades mostly occurred outside.

Not much time passed before Du You obtained a map. This map wasn’t very detailed and lacked important landmarks; it only recorded the situation on their side. Their opponents were the Flame Giants, and the main camp of the Flame Giants was behind the tall mountain ahead. For the time being, the mountain was named Red Soil Mountain.

The reason for that was because the mountain was entirely red, said to be due to the presence of fire attribute impurities contained within it.

To get to the other side from this side of the mountain, one has to take a very long detour. Therefore, the academy considered this mountain a temporary buffer area. When it was time to launch an attack later, they would have to figure out how to carve out another path.

"Master, where is our location?" Du You and the two sisters had already left the camp.

Pointing at the map, Du You said, "Right here, this place is most suitable."

"Meteorite Pit on High Mountain? What’s good about that place, it’s inaccessible from above and below," Lin Yushi wondered aloud.

Because the place Du You had chosen was quite odd—a giant meteorite pit just above Red Soil Mountain. Of course, the place that looked like a meteorite pit was actually a vast basin.

But the location of this basin was troublesome, situated in the middle of a mountain range, which was not easy to traverse. Not to mention the complex terrain and the towering peaks, even the mountainsides were home to numerous Magical Beasts, making it very dangerous and unsuitable for large troops to pass through.

To confront the Flame Giants, a large army had to be mobilized, yet this place seemed like an isolated desperate place.

"Could it be that you are planning to use that?" Lin Yucha seemed to realize something.

Without denial, Du You replied, "Exactly, that’s the plan. Now, let’s not talk about this, we first need to establish our territory, raise its level. Once our territory reaches tier four, we’ll make this place the center of activity."

"Great, if this plan succeeds, our academy’s advantage will be definitely greater than the opposition’s. Moreover, by leveraging this opportunity, the academy’s impression of us will also improve," Lin Yucha said.

Now, Lin Yushi also thought of Du You’s plan, a glimmer of understanding in her heart.

"If that’s the case, then let’s speed things up. There might not be many heading in that direction, but our enemies are even more numerous," Du You said as he summoned the Purple Lightning Golden Hawk. The three of them boarded Xiaozi, who took off into the air, flying towards the distance.

Although some people saw them, nobody paid too much attention. Although most of the academy’s forces traveled along a common route, there were others who chose different paths. Not everyone who came here was to assist the academy. On the contrary, many people came to this world for its high drop rates, seeking to reap greater benefits for themselves.

The Giant world might not have a high level, but its area was vast. Perhaps it had to do with the large body size of the Giants. Du You flew on, and after a day, he finally encountered a Giant Tribe.

Naturally, these were all smaller Giants, each one of them tier one. Giants typically reached tier one during their youth without the need for cultivation, a very powerful innate ability.

Every Giant who reached tier one stood over two meters tall. Those who did not reach two meters were considered infants. Possibly due to recent conflicts, when the Giants saw Du You and the others, they began to roar loudly at Du You.
