After delivering the academy’s orders and the precautions to be taken, Xi Qianxue declared the meeting over.
"All these people gathered for such a small matter, it could have been communicated through a wristwatch." The Tiger King grumbled, fiddling with his new claw equipment discontentedly.
"You’re right, I wonder if we should form a team," the Ghost King added with a side glance at Du You, looking somewhat unwilling to be the inferior one. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Although Du You’s performance had always been commendable in the past, Ghost King never imagined himself to be behind. He had always been concealing part of his power in waiting. However, things have entirely changed this time.
Du You not only noticeably surpassed him but did so by a large margin. The Ghost King feared that he may never catch up if this trend continued.
Known for his huge ego, the Ghost King felt a little unnerved by this turn of events.
Ignoring the rest, Du You declined various team invitations and walked away. Having the two sisters on his team was more than enough. They were unequivocally loyal and didn’t count as team partners. Their presence yielded the same benefits as fighting alone.
In private, Du You deduced that his drop rate was more than ten times that of other small squads.
His killing speed was remarkable, actually over a hundred times faster than these squads. His actual earnings were often more than a thousand times that of other average teams.
Given such profit rates, even he didn’t own the most superior equipment. Teaming up with others would merely weigh him down. These people merely hoped to reap benefits from his power.
As for his so-called classmates, he had only collaborated with them a few times, far from being familiar with them.
"Young man, my button is loose. Could you help me with it?" As Du You stepped out of the school building, an attractive senior girl cooed, posing provocatively.
"Can’t. Can’t do it." Du You replied shortly, continuing forward without turning back.
The senior girl stiffened, questioning her appeal. Were all the boys so immune to her allure now?
Du You rolled his eyes. It wasn’t his first encounter with such a situation on the road. Ever since Xi Qianxue confirmed his breakthrough to the third-tier, he was incessantly bothered on his way out.
Du You didn’t believe for a second that he had suddenly become irresistibly attractive. It was quite clear that these people came to him with a purpose after obtaining some special information about him.
He would have to be a fool to entertain such opportunistic interactions.
As he expected, no one bothered him anymore after he activated his disguise. With their powers, they couldn’t identify who he was under his disguise, and his journey home was finally peaceful.
The next morning, Du You brought the two sisters to the academy. They waited until the last moment and then walked towards the large open square assigned to them. The square was filled with World Boats, prepared for this Demon Calamity World quest.
Actually, there wasn’t just one square, but many other open spaces one in different areas of the academy, and much more outside the school. From listening to the discussions, Du You made a rough judgement.
This time, for the sake of conquering the Demon Calamity World in one fell swoop, the academy had mobilized a large number of professionals. Including the Semi-Professionals, the number exceeded fifty thousand.
It was only due to the vacation period that many weren’t present at the Capital. Otherwise, during a typical term time, a similar academy mobilization would likely see the participating number rising several folds.
Even so, this force was still formidable. These were all professionals, hence, much stronger than Demons of the same level. That’s because those Demons lacked intelligence and only knew how to kill. If they couldn’t handle such opponents, then the wisdom of mankind would be insignificant.
It was said that Demons only began to think properly after reaching the fourth tier. Before the fourth tier, coming across a smart demon was less likely than winning a lottery.
Du You’s arrival sparked a wave of whispers. "Look, that’s Du You. He moved up to the third-tier in just half a year. He’s so powerful and performed wonderfully last time."
"He looks so handsome, wonder if he has a girlfriend."
"Even if he does, we will snatch him away. If not possible, we will join in," a senior girl said clenching her fists.
"Humph, just a puny third-tier. We are third-tier too, not so special. In terms of power, we’re much better than a beginner like him," a senior student commented.
A prestigious senior student shook his head and responded, "Stop this sour talk. If his talent is superior, accept it. Moreover, this guy is more than simple. I sense a threat from him."
Hearing this, many silenced. The fact that he could sense a threat denoted that Du You was indeed powerful.
While the murmur continued, time gradually closed in. Finally, at the academy’s command, everyone entered the World Boats. The World Boats were activated one by one. Every individual broke down into Spirit Energy Particles and was absorbed into another world.
As the specks of light gathered, Du You woke up to a whole different world.
People surrounded him everywhere, countless in number. But what puzzled Du You was the sky, divided into two different colors. The northern sky was gloomy with red clouds emitting an eerie aura.
On the contrary, the southern sky looked perfectly normal with blue skies and white clouds, confronting the northern sky.
The last time they came, the sky hadn’t transformed, and everything was an ominous red.
"Seems world is about to be purified. No wonder the Demons are getting desperate."
Du You could feel the scrutiny of the World Will once again, enhancing his luck. However, the boost wasn’t as effective as last time, possibly because of the injured World Will. Despite this, his luck was still better than others.
The sisters shielded Du You cautiously, analyzing their surroundings. While Du You assessed the safety, he opened his mission board to view the task at hand.
