Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 1988: Confirming the Path to Power Acquisition

During this time, Du You did not spend it idly. After a lot of research into knowledge and information, Du You gradually understood the power enhancement of this world. All the skills in this world are runes.

The initial advancement of a Professional is first the skill light point, then it becomes a Skill Crystal, and step by step, it finally nurtures a complete special rune which directly merges with one’s spirit.

However, this world is different. One must first rely on one’s own various energy channels for cultivation. Once a certain degree is reached, these energy channels will form a special rune, which will merge into different parts of the body.

If one continues to evolve and enhance, Du You eventually found that these runes need to be understood and improved step by step; if a mistake occurs, it could be very serious. The final runes either become a part of the God Body within the body or are gathered into the spirit and merge into the Origin. But relying entirely on oneself to enhance carries a high possibility of error.

The probability of perfectly merging the runes into one’s Origin without a hitch is akin to winning the lottery. Each rune is like a lottery ticket, and wanting to win them all is impossible.

If people in this world cultivate normally, they probably wouldn’t even reach the seventh tier.

Those truly powerful individuals likely exchange runes directly and plant them in their bodies through world power. It seems their state is quite similar to those world-guarding Divine Spirits, all part of the world.

Perhaps they themselves are unaware of this, Du You thought silently.

But his research was not fruitless; standing at a higher vantage, Du You had developed a comprehensive plan for the usage and enhancement path of these runes, a complete path from an ordinary person to the pinnacle of the ninth tier appeared in Du You’s mind.

As long as no errors occur, there’s no problem. After all, it’s a path evolved from the will of a tenth-tier world, its essence surely sound.

Given Du You’s abilities, this path is certainly navigable.

Being both a Mage and Summoner by nature, even with a change of body, Du You did not want to alter his path. He eventually decided to continue on these two roads.

As for bodily enhancement, simply using one’s own Magic Power for strengthening is enough; it needn’t be too powerful.

Since it isn’t the Professional model of the original world, a relatively balanced improvement can be achieved; one’s body must be enhanced through self-effort. Solely relying on world will for enhancement is problematic; Du You would not pursue it.

"Then, the Summoning-type, let’s change it to this kind, similar to Magic, so it won’t conflict with Magic Skills."

Du You contemplated and chose a summon ability akin to arcane arts.

This skill forces the elements in the air, along with some soil or rocks, to twist and merge together, forming a special puppet. It seems to possess a certain spirituality but lacks thought.

Of course, this pertains to the lower level state; the higher level state is different.

Similarly, there is no need to capture a Summoned Beast personally; one can freely create summons, similar to Lin Yucha’s Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf type. Simple and convenient, with major drawbacks only being higher costs.

What Du You feared least was consumption; within a short time, his Magic Power had entirely caught up with his level, achieving the third tier. Even in terms of Magic Power volume, he far surpassed the third tier, being no less than an average fourth tier, with a faster recovery speed.

This category of runes results from Du You’s hard work overnight; he had digested much foundational knowledge.

"Next, we wait for the next month." Du You said helplessly as he emerged. It’s unavoidable; this is also a special mechanism in this world. Although entering the Derived World, regardless of how long it actually takes, only a minute passes.

But in the real world, there is a time limit; one can only enter once a month, and each entry’s world and location are random. Unless team-up tools are purchased, a team will appear at one place.

Otherwise, who knows who might be encountered next time, or even if anyone will be met at all.

Du You, upon emerging again, returned to his usual lifestyle. The next day, he went to school early, listening to the teacher’s endless nagging, but he was entirely different now.

Beside him, Xiaobai often wanted to tug at him but chose not to in the end.

For some reason, Xiaobai felt that Du You was different today, but what’s exactly different, Xiaobai couldn’t tell. As for others, they showed little interest in Du You.

Finally, it was after class, and Xiaobai couldn’t hold back. "Hey, Du You, you seem a bit different; is it my imagination?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled, gazing at Du You.

Du You was moved internally; this woman’s intuition was terrifyingly keen, caught on so easily?

"Of course I’m a bit different; I’ve started to exercise because I can’t just remain a normal person forever."

"Exercise? I didn’t expect you to be so proactive. But then, if one remains a normal person, they’d spend their life at the bottom of society. Let’s start exercising together from today," Xiaobai encouraged herself to say. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Du You wanted to decline, but seeing Xiaobai’s determined eyes, he resignedly said, "Alright, we’ll exercise together."

The so-called exercising together was just to encourage Xiaobai. For Du You, ordinary exercise had no effect at all. Of course, Du You had nothing else to do in this world anyway.

Even at home, it’s the same; this world lacks entertainment facilities. The so-called games are merely variants of different skill trainings, and the television mostly broadcasts knowledge programs.

It’s not that entertainment shows don’t appear, but the moment they do, and before causing a sensation, those responsible get arrested. Society’s upper class forbids such degenerate content.

Ordinary people and those who’ve lost their adventurer status are doing the toughest jobs with no rest time.

So as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, even at the cost of one’s life, people aim to become adventurers. Only a few fear death to the extreme, preferring exhaustion to adventure.

Xiaobai’s nature is a bit soft, and relying solely on herself wouldn’t yield much result.

In the end, it became Du You guiding Xiaobai in training. Whether in spirit or body, or even technique, Du You’s prowess was unmatched by those so-called masters, and Xiaobai’s abilities were steadily improving.
