As the combat arenas opened one after another, many people began to bustle around. So greeted each other, possibly acquaintances or complete strangers, but everyone knew that this place was extrely safe.
"Co on, co on, let’s go battle on that arena over there. It doesn’t really matter anyway. Don’t worry about going overboard—if soone gets seriously injured, they’ll be pulled out automatically." Soone tugged on Du You’s arm, urging him to compete.
Du You waved his hand. "I want to observe first, and then I’ll decide whether to compete."
"Alright, then just watch for now. But watching others won’t yield much insight; it’s better to fight personally. Only by engaging in battle can you draw the laws that resonate with your own being, making it easier to comprehend."
After saying this, the other person wasted no ti and went off to tug at soone else. Soon, they joined others and stepped onto the arena. Du You watched as the two individuals entered the special space within the arena.
Although it seed sowhat surreal, it was normal for soone of Du You’s level.
The two began their duel. One of them wielded the Thunder and Lightning attribute, while the other had an unusual ability—it seed to be related to the law of controlling the seasons. This guy might actually be a Divine Spirit from so world, and perhaps an important one at that.
After all, the power to control the seasons is no simple authority in any given world.
"Master, look—neither of them has used their killing moves. They seem to be holding back deliberately."
Du You nodded. "You’re right, they’re avoiding their ultimate techniques. But in such a public setting, who would dare? Using those kinds of moves would make them targets instantly."
They weren’t Professionals; they were native Divine Spirits. The ultimate moves of these native Divine Spirits often tied deeply to their divine roles, making them extrely powerful but also leaving glaring weaknesses due to their extremity.
Once soone figures them out and exploits them, it could be catastrophic for these entities.
As a result, most seven-tier powerhouses refrain from using their ultimate moves unless it’s a fight to the death or a desperate escape.
Professionals, on the other hand, don’t need to worry about such things. Their abilities exist purely for functional purposes and aren’t reflections of divine roles. Thus, while their skills aren’t as extre in power, they don’t carry glaring flaws either.
Of course, there are exceptions—Professionals can also develop extre skills, as their nature is inherently unpredictable.
"Alright, enough talking. Let’s focus on understanding these laws now." Du You closed his eyes, quietly perceiving the streams of power in the air.
But unbeknownst to Du You, soone in the shadows had already set their sights on him.
"Is it him? Are you sure there’s no mistake?"
"Of course not. I’m sure it’s him—that troubleso brat who has always clashed with us. I didn’t expect him to show up here this ti. But killing him won’t be easy."
"Haha, why would we do it ourselves? Making a move ourselves would leave evidence. I’m not one of those fools. Do you even realize where we are? This is the Gods Battleground. Earth’s Professionals have plenty of enemies here. Once we reveal his identity, well—you know what happens next."
"Brilliant, sir. We’ll take care of it imdiately."
"Wait. Don’t act directly—if we accidentally expose ourselves, it will cause trouble."
The group of underlings quickly nodded before scattering to carry out the orders. The leader rely smirked coldly as he observed Du You, then turned away and ceased watching.
After so ti had passed, Du You slowly opened his eyes.
"Not bad gains. While the resonance with our own laws isn’t too high, the sheer quantity makes up for it."
The advantage of comprehending a greater number of laws is evident, especially with those unique laws that one inherently possesses. Any new insights into various powers serve as valuable supplentation and enhancent—highly beneficial.
After this, Du You wasn’t in any rush to fight with others. Instead, he wandered across various locations, continuing to study and comprehend.
While this kind of insight isn’t as direct or fast as absorbing law crystals, it’s more thorough and doesn’t consu resources. The gains from this round were substantial, laying the foundation for further advancent.
Du You was confident that once he returned, he could continue advancing several of his skills. Not only that, but he could deepen his understanding of laws, perhaps enough to achieve a higher tier.
Reaching the seventh tier, however, made advancent extraordinarily challenging. Unlike before, when crystal coins were enough to steadily enhance one’s level, progress now depended entirely on personal comprehension.
Du You spent several days imrsed in this cultivation. By this ti, most of the others had already engaged in combat, and many had fought multiple rounds rather than just once.
Unfortunately, such repeated battles offered only limited benefits in the short term, as everyone was in the sa environnt.
"I wonder what’s happening over at the eighth-tier battleground. The manifestation of laws there should be even clearer, right?"
"Master, let’s not dwell on those matters. I’ve been feeling uneasy these past few days. It’s as if soone is watching us," Lin Yushi said anxiously.
"Could soone have noticed that sothing’s off with us? Never mind, let’s not think too much. Once this is over, we’ll leave imdiately. The space here is sealed—once we leave, we’ll be safe."
Du You, upon hearing Lin Yushi’s warning, didn’t dismiss it as paranoia.
At their level, such senses rarely proved wrong—especially for a sharpshooter, whose sensitivity to their surroundings was incredibly acute. Lin Yushi’s concern indicated the presence of sothing Du You wasn’t yet aware of.
However, Du You’s attention was quickly drawn elsewhere.
On one of the arenas, a figure completely shrouded in black was shouting loudly, "Who else dares to step forward? Bring soone strong—I want a proper fight!"
It was impossible to discern the appearance of this black-clad figure, but they clearly possessed the Dark Attribute—and considerable strength to boot.
As a mid-stage seventh-tier combatant, they had fought in such a way that no one dared to challenge them. Remarkably formidable.
Still, Du You studied the adversary’s abilities from a distance and noticed sothing intriguing. Though tough, the opponent’s attack intensity wasn’t particularly high. This ant Du You could likely deal with them, at least in a prolonged arena duel.
With that thought, Du You flew over decisively. "Let give it a try."
"Hahaha! A re early-stage seventh-tier wants to fight ? You sure overestimate yourself! Don’t you know the rules here? Duelists must be of equal rank!"
