Chapter 170: Chapter 108: The Difference of the Demon Spirit

The owner of Da Liang Jewelry Store had no idea it was topaz; he took it as a yellow crystal.

The ones who sold him this batch of crystals were a team of gem hunters.

Those gem hunters roamed the city ruins destroyed by demon spirits or between gemstone mines year-round.

Especially beneath the city ruins, no one knows how many gemstones are buried there.

Sha Chu found someone from the team of gem hunters, and according to him, those yellow crystals were found beneath a city ruin.

They dug up a villa buried underground, relatively intact, and found many crystal ornaments there, even a crystal chandelier adorned with natural crystals.

Originally, they hoped to find some jewelry, but ended up only retrieving some amethyst and yellow crystals.

That Emperor Topaz was mixed in with them, and they didn’t notice it; after returning, they sold it to the owner of Da Liang Gem Store as yellow crystal.

"According to the clues given by the gem hunters, I checked a lot of data and can roughly confirm that it is not a yellow crystal but an Emperor Topaz. In the old days, there was a very famous racing driver with great talent and ability, who was also incredibly obsessed and even crazy about racing and competition."

"His talent and insanity made him a top racing driver in a short time, even winning against the world’s number-one driver in some races. But it was also because of his madness that he had an accident during a race, severely injuring his leg and could no longer compete. Later, he became a stunt motorcycle driver, and once during a stunt shoot, his whole body was on fire and he soared, crashing into a helicopter with his beloved motorcycle."

"I found a picture of that racing driver, and after comparison, it was discovered that the topaz you mentioned is the pendant he always wore around his neck, later collected by his wealthy parents, who were the owners of that villa. So he never lacked money, didn’t need to do stunts as a stand-in, and perhaps even orchestrated that event himself, not wanting to live anymore; this is also the prevalent opinion online."

Sha Chu also sent Li Xiu the picture of that racing driver, clearly showing a handsome young man with black hair sitting on a motorcycle, holding his helmet in one hand and tugging the necklace around his neck with the other, kissing the yellow gemstone pendant on it.

Seeing the shape of that gemstone, Li Xiu determined it should be the same Emperor Topaz he bought.

"What a pity." Li Xiu hung up the phone, further convinced that those gemstones nurturing demon spirits might all be related to people.

"Li Xiu, I’m back, just outside the City Lord’s Mansion." While Li Xiu was contemplating the relationships between people, gemstones, and demon spirits, a message from Chu Jun came in.

Li Xiu was still feeling some pain in his body, so he made a call and had someone let Chu Jun in.

"You really dare..." Chu Jun couldn’t stop scrutinizing Li Xiu upon seeing him, a look of amazement on his face.

"What wouldn’t I dare?" Li Xiu smiled.

"Don’t you know that the Zhongshan City Lord is the brother-in-law of the Red Sand City Lord? Although the Red Sand City Lord is notoriously lecherous, he fears his wife like a tiger, and now you’ve killed his brother-in-law, do you think the Red Sand City Lord’s wife will let you off?" Chu Jun said.

"Let him come then." Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun, thinking this Chu Jun was quite interesting too.

He made the situation sound so severe, yet he himself returned and even wanted Li Xiu to reserve a position for him within the City Lord’s Mansion.

"I heard you’re a Magic Armor Master and also took out the S-Class Magic Armor Master Black Mist sent by the Red Sand City Lord for protection?" Chu Jun asked again.

"Yes." Li Xiu nodded.

"You’re an S-Class Magic Armor Master, and you came to be a Trial Taker?" Chu Jun stared at Li Xiu.

"I believe there’s more future as a Trial Taker." Li Xiu replied earnestly.

"Really?" Chu Jun’s eyes lit up instantly.

"Is there any doubt? Why else would I come to be a Trial Taker?" Li Xiu indeed believed so.

Trial Takers, upon reaching a certain level of growth, can undoubtedly rival Magic Armor Masters, or even surpass them.

Like the Demigod Shana in Li Xiu’s hands; if it can grow to S-Class, its combat power would certainly not be inferior to an S-Class Magic Armor Master, possibly much stronger.

Because on Earth, Li Xiu had not seen a high-quality S-Class Demon Spirit; how strong Demigod Shana would become once it advanced to S-Class, Li Xiu couldn’t predict.

However, when Li Xiu said Trial Takers have more future prospects than Magic Armor Masters, he was referring to the current Magic Armor Masters.

Trial Takers are growing, and the technology of Magic Armor is also evolving; ultimately, who will be stronger is still hard to say.

Currently, the materials used for making Magic Armor are mostly from ordinary Demon Cores and materials from ordinary Demon Spirits.

What if Magic Armor were made using S-Class Radiant Demon Spirit cores and materials? What if Ximen Guan really could create Magic Armor that could enter the Trial Ground?

All this is unknown, and Li Xiu felt that if that day truly came, there’s no doubt that top-level Trial Takers capable of using Magic Armor would be even more powerful.

Li Xiu’s path as a Magic Armor Master had reached a dead end, but the path as a Trial Taker still had vast possibilities, and he had decided to continue down this road.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Chu Jun let out a long breath, as if something in his heart was relieved.
