Even without the radiant lights, Demigod Shana’s body was exceptionally dazzling, resembling a transparent blue crystal chanoid, yet without a hint of rigidity.
With a sleek, streamlined body similar to a human, Shana was taller than Li Xiu by more than a head, likely over two ters tall, holding a large blue diamond sword in one hand and an exaggerated Blue Diamond Pistol, even bigger than a Desert Eagle, in the other.
Upon closer examination, one could see faint, vein-like bloodlines within the blue diamond-like body and among the gun and sword.
These bloodlines were much finer than veins, even thinner than hair strands, and being translucent, they were almost invisible among the blue radiance without a careful look.
Li Xiu wasn’t sure how to describe the feeling Demigod Shana gave him; perhaps this was the form all boys dreamt of.
"That’s right, n should be more open-minded and not be bogged down by trivialities," Xin Guan, waking up at an unknown ti, was staring at Demigod Shana: "Is this the Demon Spirit inside the Diamond of Misfortune? It’s truly beautiful, simply a piece of art. What is his na?"
"Demigod... Shana..." Li Xiu didn’t explain anything, just said his na.
"Excellent, it’s perfect. It’s a pity that I have no chance to get out; otherwise, I would surely design a new set of Demon Armor based on his appearance," Xin Guan sighed.
Li Xiu tested it out, and whether in strength or speed, Demigod Shana was evidently much stronger than both the Jedi Knight and Knight of Chrysanthemum, not just slightly but overwhelmingly so.
What’s more, Demigod Shana didn’t only have close combat ans but also that Blue Diamond Pistol capable of firing Demon Light Bullets, whose power surpassed those of the Demon Light Balls from Li Xiu’s Iron Armor Magic Armor by much.
The power of this Demon Light Bullet was feared to be even stronger than the most potent demon light that a D-grade magic armor could emit.
"If this guy could grow to S-grade, how terrifying would that be? Perhaps even stronger than the S-grade Red Flower Magic Armor I used to wield!" Li Xiu marveled in his heart, though he also knew upgrading the magic spirit’s level wasn’t so easy.
Just like wild magic spirits, they need to consu gemstones to grow, and one cannot even say how many gemstones are required to advance a level.
With Demigod Shana, Li Xiu redeployed his tactics, coordinating with Demigod Shana, Knight of Chrysanthemum, and the Jedi Knight, significantly enhancing Li Xiu’s actual combat capability.
Whenever seeing Demigod Shana, Li Xiu would feel an impulse, thinking if he could gather more gemstones like the Diamond of Misfortune, when they all grew, even without magic armor, he could still walk unbridled anywhere, perhaps even single-handedly destroy those major forces with nurous advanced Magic Armor Masters.
Of course, such things were rely a thought for now; Demon Spirit Gemstones were already hard to find, let alone ones like the Diamond of Misfortune.
"What a pity, you’re a Trial Taker; if you were a Magic Armor Master, such control ability would be trendously powerful," remarked Xin Guan, noticing Li Xiu’s excellent control ability while observing his practice.
Being able to control three magic spirits simultaneously requires such multi-tasking ability, even among Magic Armor Masters, is comndable, only achievable by top-notch Magic Armor Masters, and even they struggle to reach the ticulous level of Li Xiu.
"I can also use Demon Armor," Li Xiu smiled.
"Forget it, you should just honestly be a Trial Taker; with Demigod Shana, your path as a Trial Taker will beco much easier in the future," Xin Guan dismissed nonchalantly, his traditional mindset causing him to mistakenly believe Li Xiu wouldn’t have beco a Trial Taker if he was truly a strong Magic Armor Master.
Xin Guan, at his core, sowhat looked down on Trial Takers, always believing humans are superior to ordinary animals because humans possess the wisdom to create tools.
Simply evolving the body, in Xin Guan’s view, is the wrong evolutionary path since the body’s evolution speed can never match the pace of technological evolution.
Those beasts evolved for millions of years, yet their destructive power cannot compare to a single human-made bullet.
He firmly believed humanity would eventually rely on Demon Armor to defeat invading magic spirits and destroy those Trial Gates.
"Do you know how the path of a Trial Taker should be?" Li Xiu’s curiosity was piqued, wondering what world awaited him after making a life pact with the familiar to beco a true Trial Taker.
"I don’t know, but during the Celestial Longevity Days, I t so formidable Trial Takers. So relied on peculiar weapons to even contend with high-level magic spirits or Magic Armor Masters; so could summon advanced magic spirits, yet they still faced the risk of dying inside the Trial Gates, indicating that the worlds within are not as straightforward as they seem on the surface. It’s said that the real Land of Trial is incredibly eerie, with top-tier Trial Takers perishing as easily as chickens and dogs, even without knowing how they died."
Xin Guan, as if having his itch scratched by Li Xiu’s question, continued: "External objects cannot enter the Trial Gate, but Demon Spirit Gemstones, Demon Spirit Rings, and those peculiar Trial Taker weapons can be taken inside. It’s said these items cannot be used inside the Trial Ground, but after passing the trials, they can be used in an even more mysterious Land of Trial, giving Trial Takers a significant advantage. However, this advantage is only temporary, as the Demon Armor I’m developing is intended for the Trial Gate; if it succeeds, Magic Armor Masters will be able to wear demon armor and enter the Trial Gate, and then, what role will Trial Takers have?"
