Since a seventh-order combat power erged in his territory, Du You felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest.
Having seventh-order combat power ant that he had reached a new level. Even if he encountered danger in the future, there would be no problem as long as he could enter the Yalan Great World in ti to avoid it.
A seventh-tier powerhouse coming to this world ans that my seventh-order combat power is not bad either. Coupled with the Mage Tower, that’s effectively three combat forces. It’s unlikely that anyone would deploy so many seventh-order powers just to deal with .
Besides, even if they did co, it’s not certain they would dare to fight here. This world is very fragile, having only just reached the seventh order. If multiple seventh-order powers were to fight here and the world collapsed, the resulting destructive force would be vast. Even worse, they themselves might end up perishing here as well.
Feeling relieved, Du You even found that his comprehension of Laws had accelerated significantly.
Unexpectedly, trouble still surfaced. One day, Lin Yucha ca to Du You with a report, and Lin Yushi had an indignant expression on her face.
"What’s wrong? Why the long faces? Who has provoked you this ti?"
Lin Yushi said resentfully, "Who else could it be but the Shadow Council? Aside from them, who else dares to sar our reputation?" Du You took the report, which summarized various pieces of information.
It turned out that the sar campaigns, which had quieted down for a while, resurfaced recently.
It didn’t take much thought to realize that it was the work of the Shadow Council. Last ti they returned, they suffered quite a bit, and their relationship with beca very awkward.
Having been through this twice, they couldn’t expect an easy reconciliation with Du You. Now that they were enemies, their sars were unrestrained.
Although the world is highly information-driven, there are many areas where information flow is still not smooth.
With the formidable influence of the Shadow Council, especially in their stronghold, Du You’s image was now terrible. Many saw him as a great demon, a swindler combined with a villain.
And with so many people saying this, even those in the Asia Alliance began to believe it.
This notion even affected Capital University. Unfortunately, the College Alliance could only offer lip service and couldn’t help fully; relying solely on Capital University was simply not enough to withstand it.
Other colleges were happy to see Capital University’s misfortune and did not mind kicking it while it was down.
"See this? The accusation of seizing others’ belongings is sowhat credible, but senselessly killing the innocent, and the sexual exploitation of other Professionals’ females, how could this even happen? This is utterly slanderous."
With widened eyes, Du You – though not considering himself a good person – knew he was not this kind of scum.
There were indeed many won around him, but he had fewer than most Professionals at his level. Besides, with both sisters with him all the ti, there was no need for him to look elsewhere.
Most importantly, could they not pick a better-looking person for these photos? Did they think I favored such ugly appearances?
"Imdiately have Li Minglu issue a protest, demanding an apology, or we will resolve this through the Professionals’ legal system."
Du You was also angered, and upon his command, a ssage was sent by Li Minglu. But a few days later, the sisters brought back a new report, seeming even more infuriated.
"They disagreed, or did they say sothing else?" Du You guessed so of it.
"No, they agreed to a resolution, but it must be discussed and settled with the European Alliance."
"Hmph, going to the European Alliance, their stronghold, will definitely not bode well for us."
Du You was surprised, "Can’t we resolve this on our side? If we go there, they will have many more ways to deal with us." I have no foundation there, isn’t that seeking death?
The Shadow Council’s reputation was not exactly comndable; a heap of problematic incidents could be unearthed with just a little investigation. Although there was no solid evidence, the re number of incidents pointing towards them was an issue in itself.
"We can resolve it in the Asia Alliance too, but it must be done through a public hearing. However, they’ve created many clauses, which will take a long ti to review if we go one by one. They also made a demand: you, the master, must personally be present to explain."
Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly, this was utterly outrageous, as if he had no temper at all.
Any representative from the Shadow Council could co and take turns, but I would have to stay there continuously—do I even have ti for anything else? Wait, ti, could it be because of this?
Suddenly, Du You laughed, "I see now, this is their real intention. If we keep discussing this matter over there, our comprehension of the Laws will be delayed for a long ti; reaching the seventh tier might beco an indefinite prospect. Once trapped in this, it would be impossible to withdraw—they’re deliberately wasting our ti."
Lin Yucha also realized, "Master, you an they are deliberately slowing our progression to the seventh tier, then looking for an opportunity to strike at us. The Shadow Council has profound resources, and it’s very possible they have so tricks up their sleeves."
"Exactly, don’t forget, last ti we got a lot of Law Crystals, they could probably guess that. With proper use of these Law Crystals, reaching the seventh tier isn’t a problem."
Of course, Du You didn’t know that for others, cultivation and realization weren’t as simple as it was for him. Though there were many Law Crystals, not everyone could break through normally; getting stuck at a certain point for a long ti was also possible.
By doing this, they were rely trying to delay Du You’s progress, causing him to waste his Law Crystals.
As long as Du You had not reached the seventh tier, they would still have a chance to deal with this nascent threat. Du You was strong indeed, but without reaching the seventh tier, he was ultimately just that.
Moreover, Du You was currently at the University, protected by it, and they did not dare to act rashly. But one day when Du You graduated and left the University, dealing with an unprotected Du You would beco much easier.
"So what we need to do now is not to fight with them but to withstand the transient anger and first enhance our strength. Once we have advanced to the seventh tier, everything else will be easily resolved."
"But what about this matter, are we to let them slander us?"
With a carefree attitude, Du You said, "Let Li Minglu have a war of words with them, we can also play the ga of delaying."
