Chapter 907: Chapter 907

After Du You landed, he immediately enjoyed the cheers worthy of a hero. This time, the merit he had established was indeed tremendous.

Du You felt somewhat uncomfortable with the scene, but fortunately, it wasn’t his first time experiencing this, so it wasn’t too unbearable.

"Du You, you did very well. You’ve made a great contribution this time. Whatever reward you want, the academy will not be stingy," everyone had to acknowledge the great achievement Du You had made.

With a hint of curiosity, Du You said, "Why don’t we pursue those Beastmen? Wasn’t the plan to take over this place as a transfer station?" Du You wouldn’t consider this place an important transfer station, but that was the battle plan previously.

Besides, capturing this place would increase his importance in the battle and thus earn him more reputation. Du You had discovered that after this battle, the experience for his territory’s upgrade was full; as soon as he returned, he could upgrade. However, Du You wanted more.

In this world, a territory that hasn’t reached the fourth tier won’t achieve much.

The territories of the few academies have already reached the fourth tier, only not having advanced to the fifth tier yet. Once they reached the fifth tier and acquired the fifth-tier branch of the armed forces, battles would become much easier.

Director Wang shook his head, "Previously we couldn’t determine the number of fifth-tier Flame Giants, so we couldn’t attack." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Why couldn’t we determine that?" Du You, not having reached that level, couldn’t understand.

Gao Qiong stepped forward and said, "Ahem, the sensation of the fifth-tier Flame Giants and flames are quite similar. Surrounded by Flame Giants, even destroyers of the same level with no special abilities would find it difficult to discern clearly. There are too many Flame Giants; they almost feel the same when gathered."

As the president of the student council, Gao Qiong’s strength was far from simple, having reached the fourth tier half a year ago.

"Previously we couldn’t detect them, but now we can. After so many giants have died, we have been able to detect them. There are four fifth-tier Flame Giants on the other side, one of which I’ve injured, but with the others, the two of us are no match for them."

Li Daxian was forthright and didn’t hide anything, which actually made Director Wang feel a bit embarrassed. After fighting for so long, it turned out that their upper class were no match for the enemy.

"There are a bit too many fifth-tier Giants, which is a special circumstance in this world," Director Wang chuckled.

But Li Daxian had no intention of concealing the truth, "We can’t beat them. Unless our territories reach the fifth tier, we probably won’t be able to clear this world and will have to stick to minor skirmishes. For now, the Flame Giants don’t know the extent of our fifth-tier strength; our strong front, combined with your attacks, has led to some misconceptions. So don’t be surprised, your contribution this time was substantial—if not for you, we might have taken a real beating."

As the first major battle since arriving in this world, it was crucial not only for them but also for the other academies. If they were to fail, the consequences would be dire.

It wasn’t just about Capital University losing face, but also the potential devastation of the academy’s reputation due to severe student casualties. A huge mistake could result in Capital University losing its top position, to be surpassed by the Alliance Comprehensive University.

"Speak up, what do you want? As long as it’s not too excessive, there shouldn’t be a problem."

After thinking for a while, Du You then said, "How about we save the reward for now? I haven’t decided what I want yet. I’ll tell you when I’ve made up my mind. Don’t worry; I won’t cause any harm to the academy."

"That, I am confident in," Director Wang nodded, knowing Du You didn’t have the audacity.

Even with his merits and formidable strength, in the eyes of the academy, Du You was still a minor figure. If he stepped out of line, the academy could handle him at their discretion.

The academy valued Du You’s future, not his present. Since Du You was aware of his limitations, it made him even more worth the effort of the academy to draw him in. "If you want to hold onto it, then hold onto it. Your future contributions can accumulate."

Du You was too powerful, especially on the battlefield, with his skills providing an overwhelming advantage.

Of course, after this outburst, even though he would continue to have an advantage, the Giants would be prepared, and the effectiveness would definitely diminish. Yet even without that trick, Du You was a formidable combatant in his own right.

Du You possessed other fourth-tier skills, plus he had the Unicorn and the Thunder Hawk; these alone were already powerful.

"For the next few days, there shouldn’t be any large-scale battles, so you all can move around freely. Also, don’t provoke the main body of the Flame Giants on the other side for now; we’re still no match for them. Let’s aim to upgrade our territories first," Director Wang said to everyone around, who nodded in agreement. As the two higher-ups from the academy departed, the crowd immediately started crowding around Du You, who had no choice but to excuse himself, claiming he needed rest, and left. The others had no way to keep him from leaving because Du You teleported away.

Seeing Du Yu’s Instantaneous Movement ability, there was a change in everyone’s eyes.

Many who admired Du You greatly began to have different thoughts in their hearts.

"Instantaneous Movement, and that bird, at least two skills that don’t quite suit him personally—I didn’t expect he didn’t value his future that much," someone said with a hint of sourness.

"That’s right. With so many skills that don’t fit him, advancing will definitely be difficult. It’s lucky he made it to the fourth tier. As for the fifth tier, it’s doubtful he’ll succeed, and the sixth tier is definitely out of the question."

"Psh, as if you’re any better. Not everyone who graduates from our academy reaches the fourth tier," someone nearby scoffed quietly.

"What did you say? What do you mean by that? You wanna fight?"

"Let it go, just a comment. We’ll see the specifics later."

"Psh, coward," the previous speaker looked disdainfully at the other person.

At this moment, Du You had left the crowd and, guided by the student council, entered a quiet room to tally up his loot. In the recent battle, he had killed quite a few Giants.

"Psh, figures that sticking with the main force wouldn’t do," Du You muttered as he looked at the few sparse orbs in his personal space. He had killed so many Giants, and this was all that dropped.

Fighting alongside the main force, the drop rate was indeed disheartening, practically a rare event.
