"The set of Demon Armor you asked to find, is it the one that allows entry into the Trial Gate?" Li Xiu was greatly surprised, not expecting Xin Guan to have such a trick up his sleeve.
"That’s right, but I haven’t completely finished that set of Demon Armor. Before I could, I was imprisoned by Changshengtian. For it to be successful, it still needs the last few key steps and human experintation." As Xin Guan said this, he angrily cursed again, swearing at the ancestors of Changshengtian.
"All these years, no one has ever been known to create a Demon Armor capable of entering the Trial Gate. If Xin Guan’s research succeeds, even if the Demon Armor he creates is sowhat outdated, the technology could still be applied to other Demon Armors. This is a technology that could affect the rise and fall of humanity." Li Xiu thought to himself about how he could get Xin Guan out of here; he couldn’t let him die in this place.
Day by day passed, and Li Xiu’s estimation was quite accurate. On the thirtieth day, the stone chamber’s door was indeed opened.
Sha Chu walked in, wearing a red bodycon dress and leather boots, with a Tang Blade on her back.
"How is it? Did you succeed?" Sha Chu looked sowhat fatigued, lazily sitting on a stone bench, looking at Li Xiu and asking.
"It’s already succeeded." Li Xiu summoned the Knight of Chrysanthemum.
"That’s right, it’s the Knight of Chrysanthemum. Now that you are a mber of Changshengtian, I’ll take you to the headquarters to attend the mbership ceremony and receive your mbership badge after so ti." As Sha Chu spoke, she seemingly casually tidied her hair, her fingers brushing over the gemstone hair clip.
"Ah!" Li Xiu suddenly clutched his heart in pain, squatting down as if struck by angina, with large beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Are you alright?" Sha Chu seed to ask with concern.
"I’m fine, not sure what happened, but my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable just now; I’m better now." Li Xiu stood up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Good if you’re alright, maybe it’s because you’ve been in this place for too long. Follow ; before heading to the headquarters, you’ll need to participate in a Trial Gate trial first." Sha Chu said, turning to leave.
Li Xiu didn’t look back at Xin Guan, following Sha Chu out of the stone chamber.
"What trial do you want to participate in?" Li Xiu asked after the Double-headed Demon Spirit took flight.
"We’re running out of ti, we must hurry back; we’ll discuss it in detail once we get there." As soon as Sha Chu’s voice fell, the Double-headed Demon Spirit flapped its wings, breaking through the clouds and flying swiftly.
The speed was innurably faster than before, and combining the high altitude’s low-oxygen environnt and the cold air currents, Li Xiu would barely be able to sit still if he hadn’t entered the Trial Gate to enhance his physical endurance.
Seeing Li Xiu manage to hold on, a flash of surprise appeared in Sha Chu’s eyes. She once again increased the speed of the Double-headed Demon Spirit.
Li Xiu could only cling there, pressing closely to the body of the Double-headed Demon Spirit, gripping the protruding parts tightly with both hands.
"His physical resilience is sowhat stronger than I expected." Sha Chu, seeing that even though Li Xiu was in a sorry state, he could withstand the impact of the cold air without freezing, beca even more surprised.
In fact, it wasn’t that Li Xiu’s physical resilience was stronger than Sha Chu imagined, but that Li Xiu had an S-rank Ice Heart talent, giving him so resistance to the cold, which kept him from freezing in the cold air.
But under such pressure and temperature, Li Xiu was rely struggling to maintain himself.
Sitting on the back of the Double-headed Demon Spirit, Sha Chu appeared to be unfazed; in her scant short skirt, she seed completely indifferent to the cold air currents.
Li Xiu even saw a faint aura emanating from Sha Chu’s body, splitting the airflow to both sides before it reached her; not even her hair was disturbed, and her clothes clung to her body, showing no signs of movent.
This phenonon, Li Xiu had seen before in so rare Demon Spirits, whose bodies would emit a strange aura capable of resisting Demonic Light attacks to so extent.
Li Xiu felt sowhat relieved, relieved that he had abandoned his previous plan to rescue Xin Guan; if he had actually ambushed Sha Chu, breaking her aura would be a question in itself.
"Your physical endurance is stronger than I thought." After the Double-headed Demon Spirit landed, Chu Sha, seeing that Li Xiu could still get down by himself, unexpectedly praised him, although the complint sounded sowhat harsh.
Li Xiu thought to himself, "Next ti, after I put on the Demon Armor, I’ll take you for a spin in the sky and let you feel it out."
"Not bad." Li Xiu said with a calm deanor, his eyes scanning around.
The place was full of earth mounds, with obvious excavation marks, as if soone had deliberately dug large pits all over.
Next to those earth mounds were small piles of rock fragnts, looking like they had been deliberately selected.
In so places, there were small pits, big enough to hold one person, with scaffolding over the openings.
"Is this a Gemstone mine?" Li Xiu recognized it as a Gemstone mine but didn’t know which one.
"Yes, this was originally a small mine belonging to Guyue City, primarily producing spinel." Sha Chu explained as she walked forward: "Although Guyue City’s spinel isn’t as famous as Red Sand City’s, the quality of the spinel from the Ancient City isn’t necessarily inferior. Guyue City’s spinel tends toward pink, not reaching the red of Jedi Knights, but top-grade pink apatite has a special color term called Hot Pink, valued no less than that of Jedi Knights. To my knowledge, a Demon Spirit has been found in hot pink apatite."
"Didn’t you bring here for a trial? Why did we end up at a spinel mine? Are we supposed to mine first?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.
"This small mine was exhausted long ago; even if you wanted to dig, there’s nothing to mine. The Trial Gate is inside this mine." Sha Chu said.
