Li Yu quietly looked at Eriri and slowly said, "You might not believe it, but this ban was imposed by Principal Hu after a painful lesson. The reason? He learned Dragon Race True Magic, and then his Ninth Tier strength was completely ruined, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Eriri's expression instantly changed. She finally understood why Li Yu had told her this. She hadn't taken these things to heart at all before. What if one day she accidentally copied the True Magic of another race...

Eriri felt a chill run down her spine and said, "Senior Li Yu, I've remembered it all. I will never copy True Magic from non-human races again!!"

She made a firm commitment: she would never copy inhuman True Magic! It'd be useless after just one use? Wasn't that a joke?

She doesn't want to lose her power!!

Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's not that I absolutely won't copy non-human True Magic, but rather that even if a human casts True Magic in front of you, you can't copy it, since transforming into human form is just too easy."

It's not that as long as you don't copy, it's fine. Isn't it easy to disguise yourself as a human? That's too easy. What Eriri needs to do is not to learn any random True Magic.

"Huh?" Eriri didn't quite understand what Li Yu was saying. What did he mean? She didn't quite get it.

Yuki Suou then spoke up to explain, "What Li Yu- senpai means is that some races can also become human, like elves and such!"

Now Eriri understood. So that's how it is. But thinking about it again, it really makes sense. Becoming human isn't that simple, is it? It's incredibly easy.

"That's right. I hope you won't copy True Magic randomly in the future. That can cause problems. If you want to learn any True Magic, just find a human to learn it from. You'd better not try to learn anything you don't know!" Li Yu quietly looked at Eriri and reminded her.

If she doesn't keep these things in mind, she'll run into trouble sooner or later, so the best way is to give her a firm reminder so she remembers it.

Eriri nodded frantically upon hearing this. She had memorized this matter. From now on, she wouldn't copy True Magic indiscriminately; she would only copy those that she could use.

As for the rest? Most of what she learns is probably useless, right? With that thought in mind, Eriri began to plan for her future. The key is to focus on quality rather than quantity.

"Just remember what I said today. When you go to university, Principal Hu will probably personally teach you!" Li Yu had no doubt about this. Perhaps Eriri's information was already in front of Principal Hu's desk.

A little guy with similar talent to him appears, and he even appears directly in Special Class. Do you think Principal Hu will notice? He'd definitely notice. Eriri might even be the one he directly calls in.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Eriri's eyes lit up. Could there really be such a good thing? But she wasn't stupid. After thinking for a moment, she realized that it definitely would.

Li Yu didn't say much on this topic, but instead asked another question, "Do you feel like you get more experience when you kill monsters?"

The group had just killed a monster, so there should have been some feedback by now. This made Li Yu quite curious: would combining the two methods produce any effect?

"Yes, I just felt an increase in experience, I've become a little stronger, but if I want to continue testing it, I need to level up..." After assessing her condition Sakayori Iroha explained her situation to Li Yu.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu nodded thoughtfully. He looked at the group in front of him and said, "Then you all should focus on leveling up in this world. I'll come back to pick you up in a while!"

Upon hearing this, Asuna was the first to react. She looked at Li Yu with some annoyance and said, "Are you going back? So soon?"

Her mood instantly soured. She thought Li Yu would wait here indefinitely, but now he had to go back?

Li Yu nodded, then turned to Asuna, the little glutton, and said, "I have no choice. They've discovered a new world over there, and it's quite advanced, so I have to go back and explain the situation to them."

Upon hearing this, Asuna felt a little regretful. Since Li Yu had things to do, she stopped dwelling on it and instead said, "Alright, you should go back first. Important matters are more important. I can handle them."

The others nodded in agreement. They couldn't leave this world yet; there were still many things they hadn't explored, and they hadn't found the artifacts they needed.

And then there's the matter of fighting the Demon King. Thinking of the Demon King in this world, Li Yu suddenly said, "Asuna, why don't you guys become heroes for once, take care of the Demon King of this world, and while you're at it, take care of those kingdoms too!"

Although the Gods don't concern themselves with this world, it does have kingdoms, and these kingdoms are currently fighting against the Demon King's Army on the front lines. If Asuna and the others manage to break through, establishing good relations with these kingdoms shouldn't be too difficult.

Not to mention Princess Alice, isn't she? That little girl is so easy to fool, and the king is a doting father. If he can win over Alice, he can basically win over the kingdom.

"Hmm... that's a good idea. If we take them with us to fight the Demon King's Army, their levels will probably rise quickly, and it's also a kind of achievement!" Asuna couldn't help but ponder Li Yu's suggestion.

They were saviors, saving countless cursed children. And their descendants, like Sakayori Iroha, could probably achieve similar feats, right? After all, there's a Demon King in this world.

It doesn't seem bad to just make someone a hero, Asuna thought, and decided to go ahead and lead the group to defeat the Demon King.

"Alright, then let's go and defeat the Demon King!" Asuna said, setting the agenda directly. After chatting with them for a while, Li Yu took her leave, telling them to let her know if they needed anything.

Before leaving, Li Yu also gave the group some insurance: if they encountered any danger, they would be teleported back to their own world immediately and would not be in any danger to their lives.

Having dealt with all of this, Li Yu returned to his own world and arrived at the base where the Gourmet World was located.

Back in the other world, Li Yu explained the situation to Nangong Natsuki. After learning the details, Nangong Nayue's eyes lit up – there really was such a world?

"I understand. Leave the rest to me. Since that world is suitable as a beginner's village, why don't you send all the New Special Class members there so they can improve their strength as quickly as possible!" Nangong Natsuki also gave a suggestion.

It's a bit of a waste to send only five people over. It would be better to send everyone over and let them train properly in that world. After all, that's what Li Yu and the others did back then.

Hearing what Nangong Natsuki said, Li Yu stroked his chin and thought it made a lot of sense, so he simply agreed. It was just one more trip. With that in mind, Li Yu contacted Asuna and the others first.

He told them to wait at the entrance, and then Li Yu got to work, taking Zhang Li and the rest of the students there. This all happened very suddenly, and many people weren't prepared.

Li Yu thought for a moment and realized that when the real war came, there wouldn't be any time for everyone to prepare, so he simply didn't give anyone a chance to refuse and sent them all over at once.

At most, we just had the students send a message to their parents; we'll arrange everything else later, as there's no shortage of supplies over there.

By the time Li Yu finished dealing with all these matters and returned to his dormitory, it was already completely dark. After stretching, Li Yu checked the time and decided not to go out again, but instead rested in his dormitory.

After a busy day, Li Yu was a little tired. Sitting on the balcony Li Yu began to study his breakthrough. He didn't need to Li Yu about the remaining two worlds, as Nangong Natsuki had already taken over. After all, all Li Yu had to do was fight!

"Tenth rank, huh? This is really a headache. There's not a single sign of death, and I can't break through in this world..." Li Yu was truly at a loss. What was he supposed to do?

After pondering for a moment, Li Yu suddenly remembered the Kunou he had learned from Haruhime... Since he didn't know how to break through, he would try to experience the feeling of a temporary breakthrough!

Since using the Kunou can raise one's level, Li Yu figured that breaking through to the Thousandth Rank shouldn't be a problem now that he was at the Ninth Tier. With this thought in mind, Li Yu began to try it out.

As Kunou unleashed his power upon himself, Li Yu's internal strength surged instantly, his aura becoming even more terrifying. His perception and understanding of energy reached their peak at this moment.

However, to Li Yu's surprise, although the Kunou boosted his attributes dramatically, it had no effect whatsoever.

Because Li Yu didn't even break through to the tenth rank!!

The current improvement is only in all aspects of his attributes, bringing him infinitely close to the tenth rank, but without any breakthrough. Upon realizing this, Li Yu was immediately dumbfounded. Good heavens... does this mean he really has no choice but to wait patiently?

Li Yu activated his talent and began frantically thinking of a solution. He refused to believe there was no way out. If that was the case, then let his talent turn the tide!

Various pieces of information surfaced in Li Yu's mind, from the moment he transmigrated to this world to his path of becoming stronger, gradually appearing in Li Yu's mind. Suddenly... Li Yu had a flash of inspiration.

He came into this world through a sacrifice from his counterpart in this world. That Sacrifice essentially pulled his counterpart from a parallel world into this world. Since parallel worlds exist, does this world also have parallel worlds?

If something exists in the Nasuverse, does it also exist in this world? Could there be another version of myself in another parallel universe? Li Yu's mind began to race!
