Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2056: Growing Influence

The people in this world are indeed daring, especially ordinary ones. They work every day, seeing no hope, compounded by the fact that no one dares to slaughter ordinary people. So when a group of ordinary people gathers, they dare to watch any commotion.

As long as they don’t cross the line themselves, there won’t be any danger.

The low-level adventurers are the same, using various publicity opportunities to boost their reputation, or leveraging famous individuals to gain benefits. As long as they don’t cross the line, there is no real danger.

This is why people have the guts to surround my home with their crowd.

But now, after moving to a high-tier residential area, those people can’t get in. There’s no way, unless they break the law, and if they do, the guards would have a valid reason to deal with them.

However, Du You didn’t expect that, just as he settled down, the Shadow Guild over there also became famous.

There’s no choice, swallowing an established guild in one swoop, the impact is not small.

The next day, when Du You appeared in a cloak, he heard many people discussing the matter. As soon as he arrived at school, he found even the teachers and students knew about it.

"The Shadow Guild is indeed our pride. This time it directly swallowed the Flame Guild. I heard the Flame Guild is an old top-tier guild, and nobody knew how strong it was."

"Hmph, how strong, it’s long been exposed. They have a full five tier-eight powerhouses, tier-eight, something I can’t even dream of in this lifetime." Most people share this sentiment.

Tier-eight is a status nearly at the pinnacle for adventurers; in their eyes, it’s akin to a living Divine Spirit. Although they don’t know exactly how strong they are, they know no one dares to provoke them. Even tier-seven, if provoked, can unleash a killing spree without issue; these are their privileges.

"But our Shadow Guild is even stronger, being able to instantly swallow such a powerful guild. I heard our territory has expanded several times over." Du You couldn’t help but chuckle at this.

The Shadow Guild’s territory has expanded several times? Don’t joke, clearly, Shadow Guild’s scope is larger, but Flame Guild controlled a world of better quality, which is undeniable.

After all, when Flame Guild controlled worlds, they needed evaluations first, while Du You seemed a bit indiscriminate.

"Speaking of which, how powerful is our guild to achieve this?"

"What do you mean our guild? You are still a student, and among us students, only two have joined the Shadow Guild." Someone nearby quickly retorted.

The person who just spoke blushed and said, "Hmph, when the time comes, I’m surely going to be an adventurer and naturally would join as well."

Ever since the Shadow Guild developed over here, other guilds were either swallowed or driven away, now only a few stray cats remain. The Shadow Guild’s recruitment isn’t that strict, seemingly accepting anyone. So if one becomes an adventurer, joining is expected.

Of course, whether they can become adventurers is uncertain. Even though they are cultivating open Secret Methods now, the outcome depends on personal effort and luck.

Suddenly, someone noticed Du You’s presence and immediately surrounded him.

"Hey, look, it’s Du You."

"I heard Du You has already reached tier-five. I really wonder how he cultivates. There aren’t many from our academy reaching tier-five. He hasn’t even graduated yet; surely he will be more formidable in the future." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"What a pity, he has Bai Zimo by his side. If he didn’t, wouldn’t it be better?"

"Hmph, even without Bai Zimo, you wouldn’t stand a chance," someone nearby remarked disdainfully.

Suddenly, someone leaned in and asked, "Hey Du You, you’re considered a seed of the Shadow Guild, right? Can you tell us how many experts are there in the guild, is there any insider information behind this event?"

Du You said indifferently, "How would I know, it’s just tier-five, not tier-seven; things above me wouldn’t be shared with me." Du You’s nonchalant attitude didn’t upset others.

"So you’ve really reached tier-five, could you share what you know with us?"

A crowd of people around showed an interested look, seemingly intent on having their curiosity satisfied before Du You could rest. As for driving them away, forget it, judging by their demeanor, they wouldn’t leave even if driven.

Bai Zimo stood cautiously by, the first time being ignored in front of Du You.

After all, strength is respected, even in this world. Once everyone knew Du You’s strength far exceeded Bai Zimo’s, Du You’s radiance overshadowed everyone else.

Now people don’t think of Du You as a freeloader; instead, many feel Bai Zimo is clinging on.

No wonder Bai Zimo chose to follow Du You, they had picked potential early on.

Helplessly, Du You picked and shared some known facts. Yet in Du You’s words, they sounded more appealing and convincing.

Anyway, one could discern some things merely from their expressions. Du You casually spoke until class; when the teacher arrived, the crowd settled into their seats. Yet seeing them glance over occasionally, it was evident today wouldn’t be easy.

"Perhaps, it’s time to consider taking leave or something else."

Du You didn’t want to waste time, preferring sleep over the bother.

From that afternoon, Du You applied to the academy, and the application went through effortlessly. After all, the strongest teachers at the academy were tier-five at best, not necessarily stronger than Du You’s combat prowess.

Du You left, taking Bai Zimo along, training while experiencing his Doppelganger, commanding remotely.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Guild’s influence continued to grow, and discussions about the guild were everywhere. Not just in the current city but in others as well, with influence expanding.

Before long, perhaps every city and power will be aware. Then, many will start paying attention, something Du You hopes to avoid prematurely.

Looks like it’s time to devise a comprehensive strategy. The guild’s current strength isn’t enough to withstand such pressure.
