Chapter 917: Chapter 917

Great opportunity, Du You’s eyes lit up. He initially planned to slowly pressure Jiang Hao and gradually achieve victory, but unexpectedly, Jiang Hao charged at him, giving him such a good opportunity.

Without Du You’s control, the Hellfire Spiders exploded as soon as they sensed a living being.

The enormous explosion sent a blast of air pressure directly towards Du You. Jiang Hao, who was at the center of the explosion, was directly protected by a force of law and then teleported out.

The fine piercer sword that had just fallen next to Du You also turned into a stream of light and disappeared, making Du You feel somewhat regretful.

This equipment could not be seized, even if the opponent let go of it, it still technically remained equipped on the opponent. Unless the opponent disposed of it after some time, there was simply no way to snatch it.

After Jiang Hao was teleported out, the fine piercer sword was taken away as well. Otherwise, it could have fetched a good price.

The next moment, Du You’s figure disappeared and reappeared at the market where he had been standing before. As soon as Du You emerged, a large crowd surrounded a few people, continuously cheering.

"Hmph, let’s go," Jiang Hao said grimly, his hand covering his head, the severe pain still causing his lips to twitch.

Du You’s lips curled into a smile, feeling joyful yet somewhat cautious. The joy stemmed from the fact that Jiang Hao had fully absorbed the recent Soul Pierce, which would require him several days to recover from the strike.

The caution stemmed from Du You not expecting Jiang Hao to have a Soul Protection Skill or equipment. Otherwise, the Rule would have deemed Jiang Hao defeated and sent him away when he used Soul Pierce.

But since the Rule did not make that judgement, it meant that his Soul Pierce could not kill Jiang Hao. True to his heritage as the son of a council member, he indeed possessed numerous valuable skills and items. In terms of skills, this guy might not be much worse than himself. In terms of equipment, he had even more than Du You. If it weren’t for the fact that his tier wasn’t as high as Du You’s, he might not necessarily be Du You’s rival.

Of course, Du You wouldn’t underestimate himself; in terms of sheer power, he was second to none.

Moreover, Jiang Hao’s level was definitely higher than his own, otherwise, the fight wouldn’t have been so challenging.

"Thinking you can fight when you want and leave when you choose, is the League Comprehensive Academy all bullies or what?"

Jiang Hao wanted to leave, but the people from Capital University didn’t agree; a group of people surrounded them in the middle, yet did not start any fight. Now, it was challenging for Jiang Hao and his group, as any attempt to fight back would be punished.

If it were a normal day, Jiang Hao might have waited for others to come to his aid. But now it was different, he had already been embarrassed enough, and staying any longer would only embarrass him further. Most crucially, with his soul damaged, he needed to return for treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, if much time passed, the condition might even worsen, causing greater detriment.

Although as a Professional, any injuries he had were mainly treatable without any long-term effects, if it continued to worsen, it wouldn’t just take a few days to recover; it might even extend to several months.

If that were the case, his profits in this world would be completely washed away. "Here, this is my compensation, surely worth several times that of your heart," Jiang Hao said without thinking, throwing something to Du You. Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Once Du You had it in hand, his eyes gleamed immediately. Indeed befitting a Light Attribute interloper, this must be from killing a Dark Attribute creature, just that he couldn’t use it himself.

Jet-black Bracelet: Enhances all attributes of Dark Attribute Summoned Beasts by 5%, enhances self magic power recovery speed. (Deep Yellow)

This item might seem useless to others, but for him, its significance was tremendous. Certainly, this guy didn’t want to enhance Du You’s power, hence he gave him something he thought Du You could not use.

This was truly fortunate, as this guy didn’t know that Du You also had the profession of a Summoner, and the Summoned Beasts he summoned were exactly of this Dark Attribute, even if they weren’t, he would have modified them to be Dark Attribute.

Du You disclosed the attributes of the bracelet openly, with no intention of hiding it, as they were just some routine attributes.

"Let them go, everyone. The value of this thing is not low, I have forgiven them," Du You said, clearly having gotten a bargain yet acting generous, but others didn’t see it that way.

"What, just this, is it really useless? This isn’t really meant for you, he must have done it on purpose," some people began to voice their displeasure on behalf of Du You.

"Who says, in terms of value, this bracelet is worth much more than that heart."

The people from Capital University weren’t foolish: "We’ve already heard the heart was his material for advancement; aren’t you deliberately causing trouble? Is an advancement material’s value not higher than a piece of unusable equipment?"

Seeing that everyone was about to argue, Du You didn’t want the situation to escalate, as it would be hard to end it peacefully.

"Let them go, everyone. We didn’t specify what he had to give if he lost, and since he voluntarily gave something, let’s just accept it," Du You said, and finally, people cleared a path. Many people felt pity for Du You, thinking it would have been better if they had agreed on what losing to him entailed; it would have definitely been useful.

Jiang Hao didn’t linger either, he quickly walked to one of the Exit Arrays of World Market and left with others. His injuries needed immediate treatment, and he was already feeling a bit dazed.

"Du You, what you did this time was really inappropriate, how could you casually accept challenges from others? This is irresponsible behavior towards our academy’s reputation," someone from the student council ran up to Du You and reprimanded him out of nowhere.

Du You’s eyes narrowed, was he being seen as a subordinate, being addressed in such a manner?

Before Du You could respond, someone nearby already felt displeased. "What about the academy’s honor? He is fighting for our academy’s glory, what have you done?"

Exactly, when it comes to trouble, you send us in, and now you even have to stand out and shame us."

"He was challenged, why shouldn’t he accept? If you people are so capable, go challenge," someone else added.

Challenging Du You at this moment, wasn’t this making things difficult for himself? No sooner had these words been spoken than many began to show disdain and criticism. The person who had spoken was already being dragged away.

"Du You did very well this time; I represent the student council in congratulating you. We hope to continue relying on your assistance," another member of the student council came out to make amends, finally setting everyone’s minds at ease.
