Keep the Corpse, It'll Be Useful Later

After Principal Hu chatted with Li Yu for a while, Li Yu took out what he had prepared and said, "This is the forging technique of the God of Forging from that world, a medicine book given to me by the God of Healing, and some books and textual comparison tables brought back from that world."

Hearing Li Yu's words, Principal Hu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he nodded. Li Yu continued, "Besides that, there are several other True Magic, especially three True Magic that can bring about a revolution in the profession of alchemist."

When this matter was brought up, Li Yu's expression became extremely serious. He began to explain the three True Magic that Miach had taught him for processing medicinal herbs. As Principal Hu listened to Li Yu's explanation, his expression became even more serious.

After hearing the True Magic to Medicine Extraction, Medicine Fusion, and Medicine Separation, Principal Hu clearly understood how such True Magic would change the profession of pharmacist in this world.

"These three True Magic are of great strategic significance, as are the knowledge you brought back. Just tell me what you want this time, and I will try my best to get it for you!" Principal Hu directly asked Li Yu about his needs this time.

The things he brought back were far too important. Although some unexpected things happened later, it didn't matter. Li Yu had already exceeded expectations in his mission.

"No rush, there's one more thing, and that's the corpse of the God." After Li Yu finished speaking, he released Apollo's corpse. This corpse was the important matter. After all, when Nangong Natsuki learned that Li Yu wanted to take the corpse away, she supported Li Yu's decision without hesitation. In other words, the corpse of the God was extremely important.

Looking at Apollo's corpse, Principal Hu's eyes flashed with shock. After staring at the body, he slowly said, "Keep this corpse safe; it will be useful to you in the future!"

He didn't want the corpse; instead, he asked Li Yu to preserve it. The corpse of God wouldn't decay even if it wasn't buried, so Li Yu could simply keep it as an object.

Hearing Principal Hu's words, Li Yu was stunned. They weren't going to take it away, but let him keep it? What was going on? This was very puzzling. Li Yu had thought there would be a demand for the corpse of God here, but now they were letting him keep it himself?

Seeing Li Yu's expression, Principal Hu slowly explained, "You can keep it. Don't give it to anyone else in the future. You'll understand in time. It will only benefit you and not harm you. You can collect the blood of the God, especially the blood from the heart, but you must ensure that the other parts remain intact."

Li Yu fell silent after hearing Principal Hu's words. Things were not as he had imagined. However, since that was the case, Li Yu didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he put the corpse away. He was quite curious about what use the corpse would be in the future.

"Do I need to contribute some True Magic or something? I learned quite a bit of True Magic in that world." Since the God's corpse was to be left for him, Li Yu simply asked about it.

"If it's healing or forging True Magic, then of course the more the better, but for the rest, forget it, you can keep them for yourself." Principal Hu looked at the young man with some amusement.

He refused Li Yu's offer to hand over other True Magic. Li Yu could keep the True Magic he learned in that world for himself. As for others who wanted it, they could go to that world to learn it themselves!

Hearing Principal Hu's words, Li Yu nodded and said no more. Principal Hu then continued, "Let's talk about what you want this time. The few pharmacological True Magic and two skills you've given are enough for you to exchange for anything you want."

"Then I'd like four Space Ring, not necessarily top-tier ones, and some special materials, is that alright?" Principal Hu brought up the reward again, and without any hesitation, he stated his request directly.

As for why there are four? Well, one is to replace the fake Space Ring I have. Once I get it, I can just change its appearance.

"Space Ring? That's no problem. As for the materials, what kind do you want?" Principal Hu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Li Yu to need Space Ring. However, he didn't ask further; perhaps Li Yu was asking for one on behalf of someone else.

After all, Li Yu is not short of money now. He knows this quite well. Treasure Tree Hall has given Li Yu a lot of money, and there will be more in the future. After all, the potion that Li Yu made is selling very well right now, so Li Yu certainly couldn't have made it to sell.

"A material that can change shape when infused with magic or True Qi. I need it to forge weapons. I wonder if our world has it?" Li Yu didn't know much about the top-tier materials in this world.

After all, he had never been exposed to it. If it were the world of the Misfits, Li Yu would know something about it. He would have to ask Principal Hu about this. If he could, that would be great. If not, he would have to find another way in the future.

Principal Hu pondered Li Yu's words for a moment before slowly saying, "Yes, that material is very precious and rare. If you need it, I can arrange it for you."

"Okay, thank you Principal Hu!" Hearing that it really was true, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes. In this way, he would have a solution to combine his two weapons into one. Thinking of this, Li Yu felt very happy.

"But you should be prepared, we might not be able to get too much of those materials. I can only try my best to get you about two kilograms," Principal Hu added as a final reminder.

That thing is even more expensive than Space Ring. After Li Yu exchanged four Space Ring, he could only exchange the remaining materials for a maximum of two kilograms of material, and that might not be enough.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes lit up. Two kilograms was more than enough, and there might even be some left over. After all, all Li Yu needed was to fuse the two weapons together, and he didn't need too many materials. The main body of the materials used were the same as those used in his own weapons.

After absorbing the Divine Blood, the materials for the two weapons in Li Yu's hands had already undergone a transformation. When the time came, he would simply need to obtain those materials, add some more Divine Blood, and integrate them into the two weapons.

"Then go back to class. You can come again tomorrow morning." Principal Hu told Li Yu to come back tomorrow. He would hand in these things and have them delivered.

"Okay, then I'll be going now." Li Yu nodded, somewhat surprised. Was the process really that fast this time? They could actually get the items by tomorrow?

After saying goodbye to Principal Hu, Li Yu left for his classroom. His classmates had already arrived, and Li Yu noticed that the classroom had been cleaned, including his desk, which was still damp with water stains.

"Is it all settled?" Asuna asked hurriedly upon seeing Li Yu arrive. Had he arranged everything on his end? Had he managed to obtain the Space Ring?

"Everything's settled. We'll get the stuff tomorrow." Li Yu's words reassured her, and she and Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.

"Thank you so much. I'll pay you when the time comes, whatever size you need." As long as they can get the goods, there won't be any problem. After all, this kind of thing is hard to buy even if you have money. They only have this opportunity because of Li Yu.

Money had to be spent, and favors also needed to be repaid. The two of them now owed Li Yu a huge favor. After chatting for a while, the bell rang for class, and everyone stopped when they heard the familiar sound.

Shortly after, Zhang Li walked in from outside the classroom and slowly said, "You can study on your own from now on. Classes will officially start tomorrow because your teachers are not here for the time being."

Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't return, and Teacher Li took other classes instead. Since she teaches academic subjects, they can study on their own and review what they learned in the other world.

After saying this, Zhang Li left immediately. Besides this class, she also taught other classes, which required her to teach those classes as well.

After she left, everyone was stunned. Xia Yu couldn't help but complain, "Good grief, she went out for a bit and came back and all our teachers are gone?"

"Theoretically speaking, we've already graduated, so it doesn't matter whether we attend classes or not. Besides, the college entrance exam is just around the corner, and the teachers don't have time to pay attention to us." Liu Hui sighed. There was nothing he could do about it.

Why did they come back so suddenly? The school was probably caught off guard, so it's understandable that no teachers were assigned to them.

"Class monitor, why don't you give us a lesson and teach us True Magic!" Xia Yu looked at Li Yu. Since the teacher wasn't around, she figured she could just ask the class monitor, since Li Yu could teach everyone anyway.

"Go practice down there yourself. Now that I'm back, I want to break through my limits!" However, Li Yu refused. Since he had nothing else to do, Li Yu decided to improve his strength instead.

I didn't work on this over the weekend; I was busy organizing the things I had given to Principal Hu. Now that I have some time, I might as well push my skills to the limit.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the class turned to look at them. Xia Yu, completely bewildered, asked, "Wait? Class monitor, you've broken through? Weren't you still 11% short?"

She remembered that the last time Li Yu updated, his experience bar was at 89%, right? And now you're about to break through?

Did everyone miss something? And is Li Yu's experience level maxed out now?

Also, Hestia isn't here, so how are we supposed to update this? His words undoubtedly confused everyone, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

Yukino Yukinoshita also turned to look at Li Yu, completely bewildered. Li Yu was about to break through? Was this a joke? She had finally managed to break through to the fourth rank, and now Li Yu was about to break through to the Fifth Tier?

"What... what exactly did you do? How did you suddenly gain enough experience?" After calming down, Yukino looked at Li Yu with a serious expression. Yukino understood when he said he wanted to break through.

The fact that everyone was suddenly forced back must be because Li Yu did something. She hadn't thought much about it before, but now that Yukino thought about it carefully, she suddenly felt that there were many suspicious points.

"Yeah, yeah, class monitor, what did you do? Teacher Nangong and the others probably already knew, right? That's why there was that drill, which was basically telling us to pack our things and run away!" Xia Yu's tone was very certain.

After all, no one is stupid. This series of events is too coincidental. Now that Li Yu says he is about to break through, it seems like Li Yu has secretly done something big to cause this.

"It's nothing, I just killed a freakish God." Li Yu casually recounted this chilling event, Li Yu his classmates completely bewildered.

"Hiss!!"*41, the students in the class all gasped in unison. Except for Asuna, who already knew, everyone showed a shocked expression. They simply couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Did Li Yu kill a freakish God? Thinking of this, everyone finally understood why Nangong Natsuki had teleported everyone back. At this moment, everyone understood.

Li Yu didn't elaborate on the specifics. After showing off, Li Yu closed his eyes, and his aura suddenly surged forth as he began to break through his current level.

Li Yu naturally didn't use the methods of the Di Cuo world to break through, but rather the methods of their world. He also took the opportunity to confirm something for everyone: whether it was possible to break through without updating the panel.

Sensing the aura emanating from Li Yu, everyone held their breath and stared at Li Yu expectantly. Just as they were imagining what major events would happen next, Li Yu suddenly withdrew his aura.

As if nothing had happened, this scene left everyone bewildered. At this moment, Li Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was staring at him, as well as the other students in his class.

"Breakthrough complete. Why are you all staring at me?" Li Yu assessed his current state and was extremely satisfied. This was the Fifth Tier! After killing the god, he could indeed break through.

Without Hestia's update, after returning to this world, the rules of the DanMachi world will no longer apply to Li Yu; becoming stronger will still follow the rules of this world.

"You think you can control us locals with your own set of rules?" Li Yu was quite satisfied at the moment, but the students in the class were dumbfounded. They looked at Li Yu in disbelief.

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then couldn't help but ask, "You really broke through? You didn't need to update? You broke through so easily?"

She could hardly believe it. Was the breakthrough really that simple? It was over just like that? Was she kidding? Yukino Yukinoshita's head was buzzing.

"What else do you want? Didn't you break through while I was beating you up? Did you think there would be some kind of extraordinary phenomenon or something?" Li Yu looked at Yukino speechlessly.

There were no flashy special effects; a breakthrough was a breakthrough, and he wasn't faking it. Thinking this, Li Yu continued, "Updates are unnecessary now. We've returned to our own world, so naturally we should follow the rules of our world."

Li Yu explained the current situation to everyone, and Xia Yu immediately couldn't help but ask, "Then are our character panels useless? Will we no longer gain experience from killing monsters?"

If that's the case, then we've truly lost a way to quickly become stronger, which is undoubtedly regrettable. Many people in the class quite like dungeons where you can level up by Dungeon monsters.

"We shouldn't lose it, after all, our world has Dungeon, right? And it's also possible that our panel won't need to be updated anymore." Li Yu shook his head. He sensed his panel and realized that whether it was updated or not after the breakthrough didn't matter, as the Divine Blood had automatically strengthened him.

In other words, from now on, players will be able to gain experience directly by killing monsters in Dungeon, and the progress bar will increase in real time, just like gaining experience in a game.

As Li Yu explained, everyone's eyes lit up. If that was the case, it was truly a good thing. Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask, "It's like the Divine Blood within us is taking effect. So, if one day the Divine Blood stops flowing, will this effect disappear?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who has Body Domination, is very clear about the situation of the Divine Blood within her. During the previous update, a significant amount of that Divine Blood had disappeared, but it was restored by Hestia's power. The update panel is essentially replenishing what was lost.

Now that there are no updates to Hestia, will their attribute panels disappear one day? After all, the Divine Blood within them will eventually run out.

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter. Teacher Nangong and the others haven't returned yet. They might bring Hestia along when they do, so there's no need to worry about those issues. The current situation is a good thing." Li Yu nodded, agreeing with Yukino's words.

If Nangong Natsuki comes back, she'll probably bring Hestia back with her. Even if Nangong Natsuki doesn't bring her, Hestia will probably insist on coming along anyway.

Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they felt relieved. Xia Yu, however, said with some regret, "I was thinking of learning more True Magic and techniques before fighting the class monitor, but it seems like that's hopeless now."

Originally, everyone was at level four, and she planned to gang up on Li Yu again after learning all her skills. But then Li Yu broke through to the next level? She hadn't even finished learning her skills yet, how was she supposed to compete?

Li Yu chuckled upon hearing this and immediately said, "How about now? It's a study period anyway, so let's have a match!"

As Li Yu said this, Li Yu was also eager to try. But when they heard Li Yu say this, everyone rolled their eyes. They didn't want to; being just one level below was an insurmountable barrier.

If it were only at the fourth rank, everyone might still have a chance to fight Li Yu, since they were all at the same level and there was some hope. But now that Li Yu has broken through, the difference in strength is not just a little bit!
