"The rewards from the Mad Ball Trial Ground can turn an ordinary person into a Magic Armor Master?" Li Xiu asked Old Luo incredulously.
"Yes, currently, Tyrone City’s top Magic Armor Master, Kun Sha, was initially a Trial Taker. It was because he passed the trials at the Mad Ball Trial Ground that he beca a Magic Armor Master, and the City Lord rewarded him with a set of S-grade Demon Armor. It’s a noble profession, being a Magic Armor Master; who doesn’t want to be wealthy, have honor and status? Unfortunately, I lack the talent, otherwise I too would want to give it a shot at the Mad Ball Trial Ground..." Old Luo said regretfully, unclear if he lanted his lack of talent or the missed fa and fortune.
"This is quite interesting." Li Xiu mused.
At Sea Heaven Trial Ground, although Li Xiu was attracted by the bizarre trial grounds and magical rewards, he still didn’t understand why his good friend insisted he should beco a Trial Taker even on his deathbed.
The Trial Ground is indeed magical, and those rewards are tempting indeed, but they don’t have much impact on Magic Armor Masters, whose combat strength ultimately depends on their armor and control skills.
Li Xiu thought perhaps the mysterious entrance ticket might be the reason his friend urged him to beco a Trial Taker, but he hadn’t fully grasped what the ticket’s destination entailed.
He only knew that hitting the tal Coffin with the Blood Pattern Revolver would yield items, currently known to be Demon Cores and Skill Rings.
Li Xiu hadn’t used the Skill Ring yet, so he was unsure about its level.
The three Demon Cores, although not yet assessed, seed of varying levels to Li Xiu’s experienced eye.
One of the Demon Cores had significantly lower energy, at most D-grade, possibly even E-grade, while the other two could range from B-grade to S-grade, requiring assessnt to verify.
If Demon Core drops are random and can appear at any level, then what about Skill Rings? If Skill Rings are also random, then theoretically, with enough luck or shots, one could acquire nurous Skill Rings, possibly even S-grade ones.
Besides Demon Cores and Skill Rings, could there be other items?
All these questions intrigued Li Xiu, urging him to explore further.
Unfortunately, Sea Heaven Trial Ground was inaccessible for the ti being, but that wasn’t a major issue.
Li Xiu’s physical condition wasn’t sufficient to wield the Blood Pattern Revolver repeatedly; even with self-harming thods, he couldn’t sustain many shots and might harm his body, rendering the risk unworthy.
Li Xiu initially planned to improve his physical condition before seeking an opportunity to head to Sea Heaven Trial Ground.
Suddenly hearing that soone acquired the talent to beco a Magic Armor Master through the Trial Ground piqued Li Xiu’s interest imnsely.
"Old Luo, what are the conditions to join your football league here?" Li Xiu inquired.
"No conditions; anyone can join, even outsiders, as long as a team is willing to accept you," Old Luo lowered his voice mysteriously, "Have you played football before? If you have, you might want to try it out. Even if you don’t beco a noble Magic Armor Master, trying as a Trial Taker can yield so benefits, like body strengthening. Our neighbor Old Wang participated once, and his body transford remarkably after the trial; his wife hears him late into the night, more potent than Indian God Oil..."
"Played a few tis, not bad, I suppose." Li Xiu cut the conversation short, uninterested in hearing more.
"You’re thinking of going to the Mad Ball Trial Ground?" A Fei asked Li Xiu.
She was puzzled, as Li Xiu was already a powerful Magic Armor Master, why risk participating in trials.
"This is the Southern Cross Federation, far away from the Space City of God. Plus, there’s no direct flight to Space City, nor high-speed trains or any such transport; even roads have been destroyed by magic spirits. If you want to et that God, we’d have to traverse land ourselves. Before that, I need to obtain a set of advanced Demon Armor, because if we encounter magic spirits in the wilderness, we’d face near-certain death." Li Xiu explained.
"What’s the relation to you going to Mad Ball Trial Ground? Don’t we have enough Demon Cores from the base for you to buy Demon Armor? If you’re short, my collection is available for you." A Fei offered placing her bag of Demon Cores before Li Xiu.
"It’s not about Demon Cores. For instance, if you’re an ordinary person and suddenly ask soone to sell you a nuclear bomb, do you think they’d sell it to you? Demon Armor is the sa, especially advanced ones; they’re not sothing you can buy just because you have money, you need connections first." Li Xiu explained patiently.
"If it’s true what Old Luo said, Mad Ball Trial Ground has rewards that allow one to beco a Magic Armor Master. Whether or not I actually obtain the reward, I can declare that I received the talent to beco a Magic Armor Master and awakened such talent. Even if the Tyrone City Lord doesn’t gift a Demon Armor, I can still rightfully purchase one from him."
A Fei understood the reasoning and nodded, "What if the Tyrone City Lord doesn’t sell to you?"
"Even if he doesn’t, strengthening my body at the trial is better than waiting for a chance here, right?" Li Xiu laughed.
"I want to go too." A Fei imdiately said.
"Let check the situation first." After dinner, Li Xiu went out, using money to make things happen, soon fully understanding the circumstances within.
In Tyrone City, there are twelve football teams, mostly controlled by wealthy and influential persons in Tyrone City, with complex underlying interests.
The twelve football teams primarily provide labor for the Tyrone City Lord, but not just any labor.
Because lower-level trials at the Mad Ball Trial Ground are easily passed, and even those unaware of football can pass trials if physically fit.
High-level trials are different, where re physical prowess isn’t enough, unless one has extraordinarily high physical standards.
Such Trial Takers are rare and incapable of mass-source Demon Cores.
Thus, the Tyrone City Lord greatly needs skilled Trial Takers to maximize Demon Core acquisition.
After all, E-grade trials only reward E-grade Demon Cores, and likewise for other levels; securing high-level Demon Cores demands passing advanced trials.
Though difficult, it’s easier than slaying magical spirits.
Behind the twelve football teams are wealthy bosses earning sizable benefits, hence intensely recruiting, never missing talented players, even establishing youth training camps and children’s football bases, nurturing from a young age.
