"Madam, you should know that I need to protect the City Lord’s safety and cannot leave Red Sand City at will," Mu Yu said, frowning.
"Have you forgotten who brought you to Red Sand City in the first place, who gave you the opportunity to beco a Trial Taker, and who provided you with the resources to achieve your current status?" The City Lord’s wife stared at Mu Yu and spoke each word deliberately.
"Madam, what do you want to do?" Mu Yu sighed inwardly, knowing that this day would co sooner or later.
"My younger brother was killed by a Magic Armor Master. He is now occupying Zhongshan City, and I want you to go to Zhongshan City to kill him and avenge my brother."
"For this matter, you should ask the City Lord to act." Mu Yu said.
"If he were willing to act, would I still need to co to you? Mu Yu, do you want to kneel and beg you? If that’s what you really want, then I will beg you." The City Lord’s wife said as she stood up and was about to kneel before Mu Yu.
Mu Yu quickly held up the City Lord’s wife, smiling bitterly, "Madam, I can’t accept this. I have what I have today because you gave the opportunity. I will handle this matter properly."
"I have only this one brother, and my family only has this one man. If he dies, our family has no future. This debt of blood, I cannot leave unavenged." The City Lord’s wife spoke with a grieving expression.
"Please rest assured, Madam, I will set off for Zhongshan City imdiately. No matter how strong that Magic Armor Master is, as long as he’s not wearing his Demon Armor twenty-four hours a day, I will definitely be able to kill him." After speaking, Mu Yu turned and left.
The City Lord’s wife watched Mu Yu leave, and the knot of tension in her heart eased a bit.
She knew Mu Yu’s ability. Although he was not a Magic Armor Master and did not have the strength to fight high-level Magic Armor Masters head-on, one does not necessarily have to fight to kill a Magic Armor Master.
Killing a Magic Armor Master without their armor is what Mu Yu is best at.
Among the Trial Takers under the Red Sand City Lord, no one was better at assassination than Mu Yu.

"I’ve spent so much funding, and all you produced for is this?" Li Xiu looked at the Ghost-faced Magic Armor that Xin Guan had modified for him and felt he might have indulged this old man a bit too much.
The current appearance of the Ghost-faced Magic Armor can no longer be described with the word ’ugly’; it has far exceeded the limits of human aesthetic appeal.
No person could make sothing this ugly.
The previous Ghost-faced Magic Armor was so cool, with a black base and purple edges, it was like a walking armored Demon God.
But now, the Ghost-faced Magic Armor looks like a pile of rusty scrap tal, its design having been drastically altered by Xin Guan until it reached a shocking level of ugliness.
How to describe it, it’s really like a set of rusty iron armor for a villain’s minion from a low-grade movie.
"Young man, you can’t just judge a book by its cover. I admit it doesn’t look great, but there’s nothing we can do, given the limited budget," Xin Guan said with an easy calmness.
"Limited budget? Old Guan, over half the inco of the entire Zhongshan City has been poured into your hands, and you’re telling funds are insufficient?" Li Xiu’s mouth twitched, feeling an urge to hit soone.
"This small place has nothing. If it weren’t for the equipnt and materials left by the previous City Lord of Zhongshan being barely usable, the money you gave wouldn’t even be enough to buy materials. I’ve been frugal and stingy, and this is the result..." Xin Guan shalessly lanted his poverty.
"Alright, just tell the performance paraters." Li Xiu felt ntally exhausted, unwilling to waste more words.
"Paraters are only for reference and have no practical aning. Like a top-tier Magic Armor Master like yourself, once you wear it, you’ll know how much effort I put into it. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied," Xin Guan chuckled.
"Cunning old man, probably didn’t even test it, just using as a guinea pig." Li Xiu couldn’t be bothered to argue further and directly walked over to the Ghost-faced Magic Armor, reaching out to grab the activation device.
The next mont, the Ghost-faced Magic Armor turned into a box in Li Xiu’s hand.
To Li Xiu’s surprise, the previously suitcase-sized Ghost-faced Magic Armor, whose semi-finished version had been the size of a backpack, had now shrunk to only the size of a seventeen-inch laptop, small enough to fit into a larger briefcase.
"Old Guan, not bad, your technique is impressive." Although the performance was still unknown, the space-saving design alone was quite sothing, surely involving special technology and materials to achieve this.
"Heh heh, for , it’s nothing, just a small effort. Try it on," the old man said with an increasingly smug expression.
Li Xiu acted as if he hadn’t seen him, grabbing the activation device and activating the Ghost-faced Magic Armor again.
The Ghost-faced Magic Armor adhered directly to Li Xiu’s chest, its shell seemingly coming to life, spreading over Li Xiu’s body and quickly encasing him completely, leaving not even a trace of a gap.
"Although it’s a bit ugly, its performance is pretty decent." Li Xiu had already noticed the differences in this set of Ghost-faced Magic Armor.
General Magic Armor consists of many components that join together when worn, and the Ghost-faced Magic Armor used to be structured like that as well.
The current Ghost-faced Magic Armor is almost one piece, expanding over Li Xiu’s body, enveloping him with fewer joints, enhancing its defense and reducing the likelihood of damage.
"Don’t praise it yet; try it out first, and then your complints will be more gratifying," Xin Guan quipped, arms crossed and looking smugly punchable.
Li Xiu activated the power system of the Ghost-faced Magic Armor, and the iron-rust-like dark red shell suddenly lit up with purple Light Patterns.
The parts without Light Patterns turned black under the purple glow, filling the entire Magic Armor with a mysterious, eerie aura, like a ghoul erging from the Netherworld.
Just the activation of the Demon Light Pattern made the once ordinary Ghost-faced Magic Armor seem as if it had undergone a complete transformation.
Especially the hellfire-like purple patterns on the black and red face mask, replacing goggles and visors, making it look like the face of a wicked spirit escaped from Purgatory.
