Chapter 237: Chapter 130: Forbidden Spear_2

Li Xiu pressed black and white, successfully passing the first question.

The subsequent questions became increasingly tricky; the two had discussed many plans beforehand, but some problems still exceeded their thinking when actually responding. Fortunately, beyond the plans, they also had an understanding and tacit cooperation, smoothly completing the first ten questions.

"The final question: Choose the white button to share the rewards with the other person; choose the black button to take all the rewards, but if the other person chooses the white button, the other’s trial fails; choose the blue button to receive one reward, and if the other person chooses the white button, they can receive an additional reward. Choosing the black button means the trial fails. If both choose the blue button, the trial fails."

This final trial clearly targeted the two of them, as if the Sea Heaven Trial Ground remembered they had been here before and made adjustments aimed specifically at them.

If this was their first time and unfamiliar with the rules here, neither would choose blue just to give the other a reward; thus, white and black would still be their primary considerations.

Yet, they’ve been through a trial once, and the Trial Ground knows they won’t betray each other, so the previous trial posed no difficulty for them.

But the inclusion of the blue button made things a bit different.

Everyone feels they are acting for the other’s benefit, wanting them to take an extra reward. If both choose blue, however, the trial fails.

If thoughtless, the choice doesn’t seem challenging. Some might believe they understand their other half surely follows the agreement, thinking simply to choose blue themselves.

Yet the more trust there is, the more prone one becomes to mistakes in choices under the sway of greed.

Li Xiu trusts Fi, knowing Fi will choose white per agreement; if he chooses blue, Fi gets an extra reward. Alas, if Fi thinks similarly, the result will be disastrous.

In reality, many caring people end up hurting each other sadly.

Li Xiu looked at the three buttons before him and ultimately chose to press white.

He had chosen white last time too, though the meaning behind the choice was vastly different.

The moment the white button was pressed, the light screen lit up.

"Congratulations on passing the trial and receiving two rewards; rewards are being randomly generated..."

Li Xiu watched the changing patterns on the screen and couldn’t help but smile; Fi expectedly chose blue.

Li Xiu expected Fi to choose blue because he believed Li Xiu would choose white; even if Fi hadn’t chosen blue, with both choosing white, they’d achieve the goal, and Li Xiu didn’t mind.

When trust is mutual sometimes, it’s about understanding to step back to avoid hurting each other, making the situation better.

When the screen’s pattern stopped, four choices appeared: attributes, Demon Core, skill, entry ticket.

"Finally out." Li Xiu saw the entry ticket and sighed in relief.

Seeing the skill option, his eyes gleamed; if from other Trial Grounds, he might consider selecting attributes.

However, based on Li Xiu’s previous conjecture, skills from Trial Grounds are mainly common skills, with truly rare ones acquired by defeating magical spirits in the Land of Trial.

But Sea Heaven Trial Ground’s rewards, if there’s a skill, it must be chosen; abstention is ridiculously advantageous.

Without hesitation, Li Xiu took the skill, and soon its emblem projected before him, transforming into a Skill Ring.

Li Xiu extended his finger, wearing the Skill Ring, its blue light shining while finally branding on his finger, gradually fading away.

Ice Ashes: S-grade skill, converts Ice Power for personal use, with added ice damage and Frozen Effect to aura.

"Not Abstention..." Li Xiu was slightly disappointed, secretly doubting, "Could Abstention be a unique skill never to appear again?"

Li Xiu felt this possibility was quite high since Abstention is undeniably powerful; if everyone could acquire it through trials, what’s the point?

Though unable to procure the Abstention skill, Li Xiu didn’t overly mind; the effects of Ice Ashes were substantial, especially as it counted as a decently powerful S-grade skill for him.

Since the Blood Pattern Revolver inherently possesses chill, it gets bonus effects upon use.

Of course, that’s just an additional benefit; prime advantages lie in facing Demonic Light possessing ice powers or extremely freezing environments.

Combined with the Ice Heart skill, Li Xiu becomes dominant in any cold setting.

Should any Trial Taker with innate Ice Power try confronting Li Xiu, it’s practically gifting him an advantage.

Continuing to select rewards, the entry ticket before Li Xiu transformed into a blue Light Cave, absorbing him within.

Copper Lamp, stone table, Blood Pattern Revolver, and the long-unseen Blue Metal Coffin.

"Why is it only the Sea Heaven Trial Ground has Metal Coffins?" Li Xiu pondered this question often before but failed to find an answer.

Li Xiu reached for the Blood Pattern Revolver, its chill immediately transmitting from fingertip into his body. The Blood Pattern Revolver remained heavy beyond measure, yet no longer able to prevent Li Xiu from lifting it.
