Chapter 944: Chapter 944

After nearly a month, Du You had advanced not only his own skills. During this time, a new advanced skill was finally perfected under the research of Du You and his two companions.

Spiritual Shield: Prerequisite Skill Basic Meditation Level 10, forms a spiritual protection layer in the Spiritual Sea to defend against spiritual soul type attacks, and causes backlash effects against enemy attacks. (Tier 31)

Indeed, during the research process of the Divine Manual, the three of them had finally enhanced the Spiritual Shield skill. Du You felt that around his Spiritual Sea, there was not merely a barrier formed by Spiritual Power. This barrier was now rapidly spinning and vibrating simultaneously.

This must be the reason capable of causing backlash against enemy spiritual attacks. With a spiritual defense skill to match his own, his safety would see a great enhancement.

During this period, they had also made some gains in the market.

Lin Yucha bought a Spiked Ring, while Lin Yushi purchased a Twilight Necklace.

Spiked Ring: Boosts base physical attack power by 50% for Archer skills and adds Armor Piercing effects. (Deep Yellow)

Twilight Necklace: Forms a defensive layer around the wearer, increasing defense by 37, and provides a healing effect to allies within range. (Deep Yellow)

Even Du You himself had bought a Mountain River Amulet, replacing his former Deep Sea Amulet.

Mountain River Amulet: Forms an Earth Shield on the body surface, transferring the received attacks to the earth, transferring efficiency for various types of attacks is 38, ineffective against curse-type attacks. (Deep Yellow)

This fellow, who liked to stack defenses, bought these items that, in the eyes of the two sisters, were basically useless and trivial, but Du You was tireless with them; he just loved boosting his defenses too much.

Finally, after a month, new tier-five troops again emerged across various territories. Du You’s own territory had also finally recruited fifty tier-five troops, and now Du You could rest completely easy.

Yet before Du You planned to leave, another major event occurred. Perhaps because they were falling behind Capital University, the other four academies almost simultaneously launched a total attack on the Giants.

Seemingly eager for quick success, the Composite Academy Alliance was the first to conquer the territory of the Sun Giants, completely eradicating them. Then came the Mage God Academy, which eradicated the territory of the Night Giants, followed by First Technology Academy breaking into the Forest Giants’ territory.

A problem emerged at War God Academy though. They had not expected that the hidden strength of the Land Giants far surpassed their imagination, leading to a draw in the battle with both sides suffering losses. War God Academy suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, they did not lose too many students, or else the academy would have been in big trouble this time.

Despite this, the reputation of War God Academy still suffered a severe blow.

At the end of the battle, the upper class of those Land Giants used some method to escape all at once. As a result, after the entire battle, the Land Giants were still not eradicated, and this world had not reached its limit yet.

Frustrated, War God Academy directly added a large number of troops to this world to eradicate the Land Giants. Although the recovered Capital University offered help, it was rejected. Thinking about it, since everyone else succeeded and only they failed, asking others for help would have been too embarrassing.

Because of the continuous fighting, various items also started increasing in the market. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

Through his own contacts, Du You obtained a tongue statue from the Forest Giants, a nose statue from the Night Giants, and then a mouth statue from the territory of the Land Giants.

He had not managed to acquire the eyes from the Sun Giants, for since the carving represented eyes, the Composite Academy Alliance deemed it potentially very valuable and was reluctant to part with it, so Du You managed to collect only four pieces.

What frustrated Du You was that each organ piece required a ten thousand yellow Crystal Coins and a hundred blue Crystal Coins to integrate into the Giant sculpture. Du You almost smashed the thing in anger, but considering the larger the input, the larger the output, he eventually decided to spend the Crystal Coins. Now, only the eyes were missing from the entire sculpture.

Giant Sculpture (Incomplete): Effect 1: Intimidation, increases the strength of Giants in the territory by 20%, and decreases the strength of non-territorial Giants by 20%.

Effect 2: Fertility, doubles the output of all civilian buildings in the territory.

Effect 3: Valor, increases the output of all military building types by 50%.

As the sculpture was perfected, two more effects were added. Effect 2 didn’t have much impact, in Du You’s view; simply constructing a few more civilian buildings would achieve the same result.

But Effect 3 was different. It was regretful it only got enhanced this month, otherwise the increase in tier-five soldiers wouldn’t have been just 50 but should have been 75. This would have been a significant help for the Violent Soldiers.

"It looks like I’ll need to wait a while until the Composite Academy Alliance decides to sell the eyes. Thankfully, this item cannot leave this world; otherwise, who knows where they would end up," Du You murmured to himself.

Because of this matter, Du You postponed his plans to leave this world, so he continued to browse the market when free. With the recent aftermath of the great battle, all kinds of good items were appearing on the market, it was just a matter of locating them.

But luck cannot be stopped when it comes; as Du You was wandering the market, he stumbled upon another advanced material.

This was a strange roulette, entirely black, from the territory of the Night Giants. Du You discovered that this item could correspond with his own Energy Gathering Magic Cannon. Now his powerful direct attack skill finally had a solution.

As he needed to wait here for a while, Du You placed this roulette into his Skill Hall to begin its evolution. Secretly adding to his mix, he estimated that with the rate of a tier-five Skill Hall, it would definitely evolve within a week. Now, Du You still had to discuss developments on Earth with Li Minglu.

According to the contract he signed with the academy, Du You needed to establish his own city near the Capital, which would be protected by the academy, but he had to select the location himself. This city was very important.

Regarding building a city on Earth, Du You knew little about it. This wasn’t the Other World where only his own development mattered. Earth’s forces were complex and intertwined, and a poor construction location could easily lead to conflicts with other powers. If encircled by a powerful force, troubles could greatly escalate.
