"Wan Chaoxin, what are you doing here?" As the light scattered, Li Qingyi’s figure appeared atop a mountain peak and spoke to the stout man dressed in a golden robe.
"There’s been signs of a Super Spirit Gemstone near Red Sand City. I ca to investigate the situation, and also to see you," Wan Chaoxin said with a smile.
"Why target the Lord of Light City? Didn’t the council already co to a decision?" Li Qingyi asked, frowning.
"I want to kill a lowlife; I don’t need to know what he’s done," Wan Chaoxin said coolly. "And you, you actually lost to a lowlife. Don’t you think that’s an insult to us, Lichengian?"
"That’s my own business, nothing to do with Lichengian," Li Qingyi said coldly. "The Lord of Light City already received a black invitation card; he’s one of us, so don’t act recklessly."
"Did I not make myself clear earlier? I, Wan Chaoxin, want to kill a lowlife. It doesn’t matter who he is or what he’s done. If I want him dead, he must die. For your sake, I’ll spare him this ti, but you’d better hope I don’t discover him insulting Lichengian again, or next ti, no one will save him," Wan Chaoxin said and then turned to leave, still muttering, "As the future heir of Lichengian, you should do better."
Li Qingyi watched as Wan Chaoxin turned into a light and disappeared into the distance, then turned to head towards the City of Light.
Li Xiu placed the Godslayer Shrine on the table and asked sowhat surprised, "You actually want to save ? Am I mistaken?"
He didn’t dodge last ti because he felt the presence of the Godslayer Shrine appear in front of his chest.
"Your life is mine. Only I can kill you, that little punk is nothing, and isn’t worthy of killing whoever I want dead." The Godslayer Shrine was inscribed with so arrogant words.
"Anyway, I still appreciate you trying to block the arrow for ," Li Xiu said.
"Hmph." The Godslayer Shrine simply arrogantly wrote a ’hmph’ and said no more.
Li Xiu stood up and looked toward the direction of the laboratory, muttering to himself, "Looks like the research on Demon Armor really needs to speed up; there’s no way to face these Super Spirit Testers without it at this stage."
Li Xiu didn’t go to the lab to find Old Guan Er, because he knew that rushing him wouldn’t work; making such high-end Demon Armor takes ti, and there are many things that need to be researched.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and when Li Xiu picked it up, he saw a call from Li Qingyi.
"That person earlier was called Wan Chaoxin, he’s from Lichengian, but has nothing to do with ," Li Qingyi said directly.
"I thought he was your suitor coming to avenge because I beat you," Li Xiu laughed.
"You’re thinking too much," Li Qingyi said irritably, "You’ve already received the invitation card and will enter Lichengian sooner or later. Let tell you sothing in advance. Honestly, this ti hosting the Super Spirit Tournant, you’ve been quite lucky. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just Wan Chaoxin who ca."
"What do you an?" Li Xiu asked.
"There are many factions within Lichengian; simply put, one faction supports revealing the truth about the Trial Takers to the world, while another faction opposes doing so. Back when you first advertised the Super Spirit Tournant, there was a vote in the council. Ultimately, it was decided by a single vote not to intervene in you hosting the tournant," Li Qingyi explained.
"Why are so people so against revealing the truth about the Trial Takers?" Li Xiu pondered.
"Besides wanting to maintain their advantage, the main reason is the issue of gemstone reserves. Earth’s gemstone deposits are huge, but no matter how huge, there will co a day when they’re mined out. Right now, it’s only us, a small group of Trial Takers, using them, and these gemstones can last many years. In our lifeti, we don’t have to worry about running out of gemstones. But if billions of people on Earth beco Trial Takers, the daily gemstone consumption would be astronomical. How long Earth’s gemstone mines can last, no one can guarantee," Li Qingyi said.
"That is indeed a problem. If so, why does anyone within Lichengian still want to reveal the truth?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi, and of course, he could see that Li Qingyi seed to be one of those supporting the revelation.
Li Qingyi sighed, "Precisely because gemstone resource exhaustion is inevitable, it’s necessary, before the gemstones run out, to have as many humans as possible beco real Trial Takers. This way, they have the ability to face the constant invasion of magic spirits, have the chance to hunt magic spirits, and use Demon Cores to replace gemstones to continue leveling up."
"If ordinary people have never been to the Trial Ground, never received physical enhancent or contracts, they’ll only face a dead end when magic spirits invade, with no chance of survival. Becoming a Trial Taker gives them a chance to survive."
"Are you saying that magic spirits might invade on a large scale in the future?" Li Xiu understood Li Qingyi’s ssage.
"In fact, if not for Lichengian’s guardianship, the magic spirits bursting from the Trial Gate would be far more than these few," Li Qingyi stated.
This statent Li Xiu agreed with entirely. After eting Old Dao, Li Xiu’s understanding of Lichengian was no longer as superficial as before.
"Wan Chaoxin belongs to the faction that doesn’t support revealing the truth about Trial Takers. By hosting the Super Spirit Tournant, you’ve pretty much offended that faction completely, and who knows how many people want to kill you quickly. But due to so internal council rules, nobody openly troubles you. However, that doesn’t an they can’t kill you; you should avoid provoking those people in the future. Soone like Wan Chaoxin can kill you with just any excuse. Luckily, you at least have so identity as a super mber now, so they’d have to find an excuse to kill you."
