"I’m just guessing, it’s up to you whether you want to take the risk." Li Xiu smiled.
"Let’s do it." Chu Jun gritted his teeth and pushed the door open to enter.
Li Xiu waited outside, not too worried. A single light doesn’t have a significant impact on the body.
At first, he absorbed three different lights at once, which was why his body couldn’t handle it. Fortunately, his Spiritual Sense was exceptionally strong, and with the help of the parasitic demon spirit inside him, he barely managed to hold on.
After a while, Chu Jun reappeared in front of the gate, with blood-red fluorescence shimring on his body.
But it was a bit different from what Li Xiu had thought; the blood-red glow on Chu Jun’s body wasn’t from himself but from the Blood Lotus on him.
Chu Jun’s originally white Symbiotic Contract Lotus had turned blood red, emitting intense blood-colored light, much stronger than the white light from before.
"This is sowhat different from our prediction. That light was aid at the Symbiotic Contract, not the body of the Trial Takers..." Chu Jun was slightly disappointed but more excited, "But my White Lotus was only of radiant quality; after absorbing the light, it transford to a brilliance quality, that’s quite a gain."
Li Xiu was a bit surprised; this was not what he had expected.
Chu Jun tried the other doors, but just like Li Xiu, he couldn’t push open any other door.
"This aligns with what we thought; each Trial Taker can only enter one door. There are still twelve doors left. Let A Fei and Ye Yuzhen try it." Chu Jun suggested.
Li Xiu nodded slightly, and the two of them retraced their steps. After eting up with A Fei and Ye Yuzhen, they explained the situation inside.
"So you’re saying the lamp flas inside the door can enhance the quality of the contract? Is this enhancent only for the Symbiotic Contract, or can the Parasitic Contract be enhanced too?" A Fei, after hearing this, didn’t rush to go there but instead pondered on the thought.
"I’m not entirely sure about that. When I ca in contact with the lamp flas, the flas inundated my body directly and rged with the Symbiotic Contract, which enhanced it from Radiant to Brilliance quality," Chu Jun said.
"If your hypothesis is correct, the intensity of the lamp flas inside different doors varies, so the effects must differ as well. It seems we need to bring so people here for so experints," A Fei contemplated.
Ye Yuzhen, who was eager initially, gave up on the idea of enhancing the Symbiotic Contract’s quality for now, after hearing A Fei’s words.
They had reached the end of this city gate. The other city gates were still unapproachable for Li Xiu and the others, so they had to leave Black Death City and return to the City of Light temporarily.
Chu Jun happily returned to research his White Lotus, while A Fei and Ye Yuzhen planned to bring a Trial Taker next ti as a test subject, for which preparations were necessary.
Li Xiu went alone to find Xin Guan as he wanted to know how the Demon Armor Xin Guan was crafting for him was proceeding.
"Old Guan, how’s the Demon Armor I asked for?" Li Xiu asked as he arrived at the laboratory, seeing Xin Guan standing in front of a device, looking down at the screen.
The screen displayed nurous light patterns fluctuating, seemingly testing sothing.
"Still a long way to go, the materials aren’t even complete yet," Xin Guan replied without looking up.
"Materials not complete? That’s impossible, didn’t Sha Chu already help you gather them?" Li Xiu frowned.
"Still missing a few," Xin Guan finally looked up at Li Xiu, eyes dodging a bit.
"Did you use those materials on your set of Demon Armor?" Li Xiu quickly guessed what the old guy Xin Guan had done.
"Cough, cough, it’s not what you think, I just used them for a little experint, who knew they’d be so useless and got ruined just like that..." Xin Guan’s old face blushed, mumbling an explanation.
"Your Demon Armor is important, but I urgently need an S-Class Magic Armor right now. Old Guan, you’re putting in a tough spot," Li Xiu stared at Xin Guan.
"I understand, you get so more materials back, and this ti I assure you I won’t use them for any trials, and will personally craft that set of Demon Armor for you," Xin Guan, sowhat embarrassed, had no choice but to promise.
Previously, he had delegated the task of creating the S-Class Magic Armor to other researchers, rely supervising occasionally.
"What materials are still missing?" Li Xiu, however, didn’t intend to bla Xin Guan.
Xin Guan’s set of Demon Armor was equally important to Li Xiu. If it could ultimately achieve the technology allowing Demon Armor to enter the Land of Trial, such a small price would be insignificant.
But now Li Xiu was extrely short on money, otherwise, his investnt in Xin Guan wouldn’t have been this small, but given the current circumstances, there was no other choice.
"The S-Class Demon Core you gave earlier was destroyed during the experint, so another S-Class Demon Core is needed, along with so demon spirit materials..." Xin Guan’s voice got softer as he continued, knowing these were the core materials for the Demon Armor.
"I can get you another set of materials, but you must promise not to use them for experints again. You have to help craft the Demon Armor first, and do it yourself, making it the best possible," Li Xiu stared at Xin Guan.
"No problem, if I use your materials for experints again, let my Demon Armor research never succeed in my lifeti," Xin Guan swore earnestly.
