By the ti Li Xiu got up from the ground, it was too late to think about anything. He found himself back in his hotel room.
The Godslayer Shrine was still on the table, with its back facing him, displaying three words on the back.
"Are you convinced?"
"I thought you had great abilities, but you only managed to send into Black Death City for twenty-four hours. If you have the guts, lock in there for a lifeti." Li Xiu thought to himself, "Anyway, you can only send in for twenty-four hours. It’s just right for to go in and kill the demon spirits. If I can get the Demon Spirit Ring, it’ll be a big gain. Even if I don’t, getting so skills or talents is also profitable. Even if nothing cos out, I can still collect so Demon Cores to feed the Jedi Knights."
Thinking of that small pile of E-Class Demon Cores, Li Xiu felt a bit of heartache. Although they were the lowest class of Demon Cores, they numbered in the thousands and could fetch a considerable amount of money if sold.
"Just you wait." After this line of text appeared, the Godslayer Shrine remained still.
It was unclear whether its ability was still on cooldown or for so other reason, but it did not send Li Xiu into Black Qi City again.
Li Xiu waited for a while, and seeing no reaction from the Godslayer Shrine, he picked it up and walked out.
"Hey, you were in your room? I called for you to eat earlier, why didn’t you open the door? I thought you went out." Just as he was leaving, he bumped into Sha Chu, who asked in confusion.
"I went out just now and just got back, but I have so matters to attend to and need to go out again." Li Xiu said and quickly left.
After leaving the city, Li Xiu found a deserted spot and tossed the Godslayer Shrine onto the ground. He drew the Fire Lotus Sword and pointed it at the shrine, saying, "From now on, listen to , and I’ll spare you. Otherwise, I’ll chop you up and use you for firewood now."
"Bring it on!" The Godslayer Shrine suddenly stood up on its own, shaking as two words appeared.
"Fine." Li Xiu slashed right away, the Fire Lotus Sword glowing red as it struck the wooden shrine. It produced a sound like clashing tals, yet left no marks on the wooden surface.
Li Xiu then summoned the Demigod Shana and the B-Class Pink Nightmare, using a gun to shoot, a sword to slash, hooves to stomp, and a horn to ram.
Li Xiu tried every thod, but the Godslayer Shrine remained unscathed.
"Is that all..." Text appeared on the Godslayer Shrine, mocking.
For a mont, Li Xiu really had no way to deal with it. After so thought, he retrieved his demon spirits, picked up the shrine, and left.
Li Xiu had seen a forge in the city, equipped with a furnace and large hydraulic press used for crafting, and decided to see if those could make the Godslayer Shrine submit.
Using the power of money, Li Xiu persuaded the forge owner. First, he threw the shrine into the furnace. Despite the intense heat capable of lting steel, after over an hour, the shrine remained unchanged.
The ten-ton hydraulic press, groaning under exertion, failed to crush the shrine.
"Keep going." The Godslayer Shrine taunted rcilessly.
This ti, Li Xiu was truly out of options. He could only throw the shrine onto the ground and went back on his own.
When he returned to the hotel, he found that the shrine had sohow stuck to his back.
Helplessly, Li Xiu tossed the shrine away casually, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, the shrine was lying in his arms. Li Xiu decided to ignore it and continued as if he hadn’t noticed, carrying on with his tasks without paying it any mind.
"Don’t go to tomorrow’s trial. It might be an S-Class trial." During dinner, Xin Guan advised Li Xiu not to participate.
"Got it." Li Xiu hesitated for a mont but ultimately decided against joining the S-Class trial.
With the Dark Mirror, Li Xiu was confident about getting through the S-Class Dark Maze. However, the two weights on him were too burdenso, preventing him from moving quickly. He feared that his speed wouldn’t be enough, and even if he knew how to get out, his pace might not beat the ti.
"When will the Demon Armor be modified?" Li Xiu asked Xin Guan.
"We don’t have professional equipnt here, so we can only modify it manually with makeshift tools. It won’t be quick—to wait another ten days or half a month should be about right." Xin Guan quickly finished his al and went back to his room to continue tinkering.
At noon, Li Xiu received an invitation from the City Lord’s Mansion, asking him, along with Afai and Sha Chu, to join the trial tomorrow. Li Xiu found an excuse to decline.
"Li Xiu, whatever you do, don’t go to tomorrow’s trial. I just found out it might be S-Class and very dangerous. I’ll be back at the latest in two days, so please don’t go." Chu Qun ssaged him that evening.
"Understood." Not long after Li Xiu replied to the ssage, the deputy from the City Lord’s Mansion personally visited the hotel.
"Can we talk?" Deputy Lin knocked on Li Xiu’s door, smiling as he spoke.
"Talk about what?" Li Xiu glanced outside, seeing two rows of soldiers in the hotel lobby, including Magic Armor Masters.
"The City Lord wants to invite you and the other two ladies to the City Lord’s Mansion." Deputy Lin stated.
"Is it possible not to go?" Li Xiu clearly understood what Zhongshan City Lord wanted him for.
"This is Zhongshan City." Deputy Lin uttered softly.
"So you an I have no choice but to go?" Li Xiu slightly frowned but then stood up and said, "Okay, wait a mont while I tell my friends sothing, and then I’ll go with you to the City Lord’s Mansion."
"You can." Deputy Lin stepped back, giving way.
Within Zhongshan City, he didn’t believe Li Xiu could cause any trouble.
