Chapter 135: Chapter 96: Gambler’s Mentality_2

"The real Trial Taker would certainly want to go there, it’s just a matter of courage," Li Xiu answered.

"Indeed." Chu Jun nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

After returning to the inn, Li Xiu handed the Ghost-faced Magic Armor to Ximen Guan. His room was filled with a lot more tools, but Li Xiu doubted whether these simple tools could really be used to modify the Demon Armor.

He had seen the equipment and tools in the Space City’s Demon Armor laboratory, which were far more advanced than these.

"Just trust me with it. A true master only needs the most basic tools to craft the finest Demon Armor. I’ll show you what real hand-crafted Demon Armor looks like..." Ximen Guan saw Li Xiu’s doubts and immediately began to boast.

Li Xiu shook his head and returned to his room.

When the Hero’s Trial Ground opened again, Li Xiu and the other two went together to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Before they left, Ximen Guan reminded them that they could participate in the Hero’s Trial at most two more times, after which there might be an A-rank trial.

Li Xiu didn’t care if it was A-rank or not; if it turned out to be S-rank, even better, as he was worried about not having places to earn attributes.

By trying to earn Attribute Rewards in these trials, his body would be strengthened, and he would no longer be affected by the Fire Lotus Sword, thereby increasing his completion speed.

Besides the three of them, the City Lord of Zhongshan City also called in seven Trial Takers, two of whom were familiar faces from last time, while the others seemed unfamiliar and were likely newly recruited.

One of the familiar faces was Ye Yuzhen. When he saw Li Xiu, Ye Yuzhen glared at him fiercely.

It had only been three days, and his injuries had almost healed.

The adjutant led them to the Hero’s Trial Ground, and they each walked in one by one, arriving once again at that white room.

"Welcome to the Hero’s Trial Ground. The A-rank trial is about to begin. The trial rules are as follows..." an electronic synthesized voice began.

The A-rank trial arrived sooner than Ximen Guan had anticipated; it turned out to be an A-rank this time.

The first round, the Dark Maze trial, had a countdown as long as one hour, double that of the B-rank trial. It seemed as though the difficulty had decreased.

Everyone knew very well that the difficulty hadn’t decreased, but rather, the challenge within the Dark Maze had increased, thus the time was extended.

Seeing that it was an A-rank trial, Ye Yuzhen’s expression became serious as well.

He had never done an A-rank trial before and didn’t know what changes would occur in the A-rank Dark Maze.

Although he had the advantage of vision, a maze isn’t something you can simply navigate by sight.

Ye Yuzhen glared at Li Xiu and decided to scout the maze first, then look for trouble with Li Xiu if there was extra time.

Seeing Ye Yuzhen’s glare, Li Xiu smiled at him.

"Hmph." Ye Yuzhen snorted coldly, turned his head away, ignoring Li Xiu’s provocation.

Other Trial Takers, upon seeing the A-rank trial, each showed an unusually grim face. The difficulty far surpassed the previous trials.

Several of these Trial Takers had participated in the Hero’s Trial before, but those trials were only E-rank and D-rank, with few even having seen a B-rank.

This sudden A-rank made them think their luck was just bad.

As the countdown ended, the light screen suddenly went out, and the entire room fell into darkness as the doors, sealed by invisible forces, were opened by the Trial Takers. They each chose different directions and charged out.

Ye Yuzhen didn’t rush out nor did he pursue them.

In an A-rank trial, there were already few who could come out alive. He didn’t need to waste his time, letting them die in the trial was just the same.

Initially, Ye Yuzhen intended to explore the exit himself, but then he saw Li Xiu and his two companions walking hand in hand in the direction he had planned to go.

"This works too, let those three explore the way for me," Ye Yuzhen thought to himself, and followed behind them.

This time, he didn’t plan to make a move, but if something happened to Li Xiu and the others, he didn’t mind taking advantage of the situation.

"They made such a mess for me last time, this time I’ll play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Ye Yuzhen thought more and more proudly, deeply impressed by his own ingenuity.

Li Xiu was walking at the forefront, moving very slowly, and after pushing open each door, he’d listen carefully for a while before entering.

Fortunately, the first few rooms didn’t have anything special, yet Li Xiu still proceeded with caution.

There had been venomous snakes and fierce beasts in the B-rank Dark Maze. Who knew what might appear in the A-rank Dark Maze?

Just as Li Xiu was thinking, he suddenly felt his right foot sink down, as if the floor had collapsed beneath him.

"No good, there’s a trap." Li Xiu immediately sensed danger and shouted to warn A Fei and Sha Chu.

But the three of them had just walked to the center of the room, equally distant from every door—it was too late to advance or retreat.

Ye Yuzhen, who had just followed them in, was startled when he heard Li Xiu shout about a trap and turned around, trying to escape.

But the door, which had opened with just a push, wouldn’t budge at all now.

Boom!

The floor within the room suddenly had many spots collapse, leaving only a few column-like cubes at their original height.

Ye Yuzhen only felt his footing give way, his body starting to fall. He frantically swung his arms, trying to grasp onto something.
