Chapter 921: Chapter 921

After signing the contract, both Du You and the academy began their preparations. The academy didn’t reveal the news to its students temporarily, for the students’ organizational and disciplinary capabilities were far from those of the military.

If the students were informed, who knows whether the information would be leaked or not. Even in the Other World, this could not be guaranteed.

Moreover, it was certain that people from other academies would find out if the news leaked. By then, no one knew whether other academies would come to cause trouble, especially since it was a yet-to-be-exposed territory and was only at tier three.

With the Heritage Hall blueprints provided by the academy, Du You flew towards his own territory. The academy mobilized and sent the blueprints with exceptional speed, taking less than half an hour of this world’s time to deliver them from the academy. This showed the profound resources of Capital University were indeed unimaginable.

After flying for a whole day, Du You returned to his territory. As for how the academy would explain his absence, that was completely beyond his concern.

"Yucha, Yu Shi, are you two there?" Du You suddenly called out loudly.

Before long, the silhouettes of the two sisters appeared at the edge of the territory and rapidly ran towards him. "Oh my, master has returned, we’re late," Lin Yushi said apologetically, sticking out her tongue.

"I told you to come back earlier, but you insisted on timing it," Lin Yucha said to her sister, somewhat irritated.

Du You waved his hand dismissively, "It’s alright, it’s good that you’re back, I’m not the kind of person who insists on pomp and circumstance."

As for his own people, Du You was not so strict. Of course, the two sisters were also sensible and wouldn’t embarrass him in normal times, so their relationship was quite good.

"I’ve already negotiated with the academy. Next, I will upgrade the territory and then stay here. In time, the academy will send some people to help with the defense and a batch of supplies will also be delivered."

During the contract signing, Du You considered the lack of resources in the territory, so he added an additional condition.

Du You needed a batch of Cold Ice Attribute gems, which the academy did not fuss over. After all, with Du You’s contributions this time, such resources could be allocated to him. Most importantly, this was not only about an exchange for contributions but also a significant benefit to the academy.

"Master is so impressive, completing everything so swiftly."

"Right, how were your gains these past few days?"

The sisters exchanged glances and then presented their belongings. "We’ve also burst out equipment again these past few days, it’s just that there still isn’t anything suitable for you, master."

Du You waved his hand, "No matter, after all, the equipment that bursts forth tends to be most suited for use by the entity itself. It’s already good that you two could use what appeared. Besides, I haven’t come away empty-handed either; I’ve found two materials for advancement."

The sisters were now envious. Advancement materials were much more valuable than equipment in their eyes. After all, an advanced skill would stay with a person for life, while equipment would have to be discarded once they themselves advanced.

"Come on, show me what good things you’ve got," Du You said, changing the subject.

The sisters placed their new equipment before Du You. Lin Yucha had a Wind Flute. The Wind Flute was meant to be worn, falling into the category of an amulet, so Lin Yucha had to give up her Black Ant Amulet.

Wind Flute: Increases attack speed, increases movement speed, reduces the sound made while moving. (Yellow)

"This item seems simple, but it is very practical for you." The dual increase in speed is beneficial for any agility-based profession. Reducing the sound of movement essentially enhances Lin Yucha’s speed while under cloak of invisibility, which is helpful.

The extent of the equipment’s enhancements is evident from its quality. As a yellow-tier item, it surely increases her stats significantly. Otherwise, Lin Yucha wouldn’t have chosen to equip it. Dıscover more novels at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Mine, mine, mine is also quite good," Lin Yushi said eagerly, showing Du You her Fiery Rocket Tube.

Fiery Rocket Tube: Automatically condenses flame arrows, adding 35 fire damage to the fired arrows. (Yellow)

Upon seeing this, Du You was somewhat surprised. He knew Lin Yushi’s skills were based on lightning arrows, which were now transformed into Thunder Dragon arrows. Essentially, though, it was still a construction of Thunder and Lightning forces.

"Won’t this conflict with your original skills?" Du You asked directly.

"No, it looks like it’s made of flames, but it’s a form of energy. Moreover, it doesn’t conflict with my Thunder and Lightning at all, but instead it integrates quite nicely," she explained while drawing an arrow that seemed solid, showing no sign of being made of flame and looking just like a real arrow.

Lin Yushi infused her Thunder and Lightning power into it, and instantly, the arrow transformed.

The originally red flame turned into a cyan-white color, dotted with faint blue and white light, dazzling to the eye. It was the color of Thunder and Lightning. On the surface, it seemed as though there was a layer of Thunder and Lightning burning.

"The fusion of Thunder and Lightning power with the flame resulted in thunderflame—both fire and Thunder and Lightning in one. Neither power diminished, combining perfectly, making it very suitable for me. I’ve tested it; the attack power stacks, but the attack type comes in two forms, which can exert the strongest power in combat."

"It can actually be ," Du You said, eyes widening in disbelief.

Lin Yushi’s own power was based on Demon Extermination Power. With this kind of support, her Thunder and Lightning would surely differ from normal. He hadn’t expected such a fusion to be possible, suggesting that as skills advanced, Thunder and Lightning were becoming like genuine Thunder and Lightning.

The specific details would require further experimentation. However, looking at it this way, perhaps this was an indication of the direction for Lin Yushi’s future skill development. At this moment, Du You was already considering the future advancement of skills.

Yet, Du You still felt a twinge of regret for not finding the equipment he needed. Nevertheless, having two new pieces of equipment was already quite fortunate. Even if the equipment drop rate improved, tier four creatures were still hard to find. He believed that with continuous hunting, the needed equipment would eventually appear.

"Alright, let’s start building the territory. This is our foundation in this world," Du You quickly recounted the agreement made with the academy.
