Chapter 942: Chapter 942

After the great battle, Du You had only six fifth-tier combatants remaining in his hands. The three who were severely injured followed the troops towards their own territory, needing to go back for cultivation to recover from their injuries.

In their own territory, the speed of recovery was obviously much faster than anywhere else. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

The remaining three were handed over to the academy for unified command. There were definitely more Flame Giants out there than just the few encountered, as many fifth-tier Flame Giants had not returned to their tribe’s land, and it was certain that there were still many hidden in the outside world.

But these fifth-tier Giants were like scattered sand, definitely no match for a military extermination force.

Of course, even so, those Giants were still of the fifth tier, and it was very difficult to exterminate them without using fifth-tier power. If the teams were only made up of fourth-tier and third-tier, going there might turn into a suicide mission.

Preoccupied with his own thoughts, Du You opened the loot chest from this battle, which had been a major task.

Hidden Mission: Exterminate the Flame Giants, completed.

"Who knows what’s in store this time, this was a battle involving a hundred fifth-tier warriors from my domain, and only six are left. If the rewards aren’t good, I’m not going to let it go," Du You grumbled as he opened the chest. First up was still Crystal Coins, but this time they were blue Crystal Coins.

The amount of blue Crystal Coins was not small at all, as he was given twenty thousand in one go. If he hadn’t played such an active role, getting this many would not have been easy. Presumably, Director Wang and Li Daxian didn’t receive as many because they were utilizing soldiers from his own domain for an over-tier challenge.

Since the two of them were both fifth-tier themselves, their rewards would be much less.

"Twenty thousand Origin blue Crystal Coins, by the time I break through to the fifth tier, there will be enough Crystal Coins to use." Even if there would be trouble breaking through to the fifth tier later, with these Crystal Coins, he could boost a significant portion of his strength in an instant.

Of course, that assumed he didn’t continue creating new skills by then, as the cost of creating new skills would definitely be greater. As for whether there would be other possibilities for spending Crystal Coins, Du You was not sure.

As he continued searching, Du You found a blueprint in his hands, which depicted a tall tower.

"Awesome, I finally have all three major pieces," Du You now had a Mage Tower blueprint.

Flame Tower Blueprint: Allows the construction of a Flame Tower in the domain.

Although the description was simple, this was indeed a blueprint for a Mage Tower. Mage Towers have a general term and, unlike the Lord’s Mansion or the Skill Hall, each Mage Tower has its own name and isn’t just called Mage Tower.

Looking at the name on the blueprint, it seemed to be related to the Flame Attribute. However, Du You wasn’t concerned with the details at the moment; even if it was related to the Flame Attribute, he was going to build it.

Mage Towers were too important for his domain to neglect.

In this world, it wasn’t necessary to build a domain anymore because once this world was under control, the Mage Towers would have nearly no use. The true purpose of Mage Towers was to resist the suppression from Other Worlds on his own domain, making the citizens smarter and their talents not suppressed, and making cultivation much faster.

Of course, there were also some auxiliary buildings that could be used to create Mage branches of the armed forces, capable of using a large number of magical constructions to strengthen one’s defenses. This certainly was not something that Ice Arrow Towers could compare to.

An auxiliary building of a Mage Tower of the same tier had much stronger defenses than hundreds of Ice Arrow Towers and did not require as many resources. The only advantage of the Ice Arrow Towers was their ability to be mass-produced.

Excited, Du You carefully stored the Flame Tower blueprint and, seeing that the chest had not disappeared, continued to search it. This time, a red crystal appeared—it was a Skill Crystal Stone.

Flame Giant Doppelganger: Differentiates into two Flame Giants as doppelgangers, tier level matching skill level. Doppelganger’s existence time is unlimited; upon death, requires 5 hours to resummon. Doppelgangers cannot leave a range of 0.8 miles from the master. (Tier 1, 8 stars)

"This skill, not bad at all, two doppelgangers that can reach the same tier level, and they are the very powerful Flame Giants. Isn’t this like having two extra pets? But this seems very similar to a summoning-type skill."

"Wait, master, look closely, this skill isn’t a summoning skill; this is where the real value lies. This skill can be learned by any profession, and though it does not consume much, it allows one to have abilities similar to summoning skills, which is very valuable."

"Yes, it’s just a shame we both already have summoning-type skills; we really don’t need this skill, it’s such a waste."

Hearing the complaints from the sisters, Du You thought for a moment and then said, "My contribution this time was not small, so exchanging some items with the academy shouldn’t be a problem." After discussing with several people, they decided to go ahead with that plan.

Then, Du You took the Skill Crystal Stone to the academy’s upper class, not Director Wang, since he was busy with many things. But others recognized Du You as the owner of a fifth-tier domain, which was not something ordinary people could compare to. Now everyone looked at Du You as if they were looking at an important figure, very respectfully.

Even if these fifth-tier forces could not be taken to Earth or other worlds for battle, they were still an important force, especially in this world. Once a city was established on Earth, within a certain range, these forces could also play a role.

With the support of a fifth-tier domain, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Du You to progress until he reached the fifth tier.

"You want to exchange things? This is too precious, I can’t decide on my own, but I can report it," the academy’s staff member immediately sent Du You’s request up the chain, and because it was Du You’s matter, the response came very quickly.

After only a few minutes, the person said, "The higher-ups have made a decision. This is the list, you can confirm it and report directly. But to get the things, you need to first return to your domain because this place is too remote."

Du You nodded, "I understand, I’ll head back now, and I’ll decide what I want on the way." Taking the list, Du You, with the sisters, flew in the direction of his domain. He had no plans to participate in the next task.

It couldn’t be helped, the Flame Giants were just too dispersed, and the academy couldn’t rashly interfere with other academies’ battles, so there was no benefit in joining the fight now. When everyone was vying for scant resources, Du You couldn’t be sure that he would be able to find a lone Giant on his own—the cost-effectiveness was too low and a waste of time.

With that time, it was better to study the Divine Manual of Death and perhaps gain new advanced skills.
