When 'God' Decides To Start Over
Chapter 31: Re-entering the Arena

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Re-entering the Arena

When Li Xiu pressed the white button, the final countdown concluded as well.

Li Xiu instinctively looked at the bracelet; it did not explode. At the same time, a cold electronic synthesized voice came to his ears.

"Due to a forfeit by one party, you have passed the S-Class trial and have earned all team rewards. The rewards are being generated randomly, and you can choose two of them..."

"This is the best choice." Li Xiu nodded slightly and murmured to himself.

He couldn’t trust A Fei, and A Fei couldn’t fully trust him either. After the first ten questions, both had understood each other’s character.

A Fei should know that with Li Xiu’s assertive personality, he would never place his fate in her hands. If she didn’t want to risk a double death, she could only choose to forfeit, which was a choice only A Fei could make.

Moreover, the reason A Fei joined the trial was originally to help Li Xiu acquire skills. Now there was the safest way for Li Xiu to get skills, which was the decision A Fei had to make.

A Fei did not disappoint Li Xiu; she ultimately chose to forfeit, and the tacit understanding between the two still existed.

Four patterns appeared on the light screen: talent, attribute, demon core, and entry ticket.

"No skills?" Feeling the sting from the bracelet, Li Xiu was slightly disappointed, but only just a bit.

S-Class Attribute Enhancement is undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary enhancement effects. It might even allow Li Xiu’s physical fitness a certain leap.

S-Class Demon Core is the core material for manufacturing S-Class Magic Armor. Magic Armor Masters with S-Class Armor worldwide are all top-tier.

As for S-Class Talent, Li Xiu didn’t know what it would be. There are few Trial Takers with S-Class Talent; even if someone had it, they probably wouldn’t disclose it easily to others.

For Li Xiu, the entry ticket was a must. Missing this opportunity, who knows when he could come to the Sea Heaven Trial Ground again?

Jin Zhenhuan mentioned that the Sea Heaven Trial Ground belongs to Longevity Heaven.

Li Xiu had heard of the Longevity Heaven Organization, very mysterious indeed.

Since the demon spirits descended, this organization has been very active, with a very poor reputation, seizing resources during the chaotic times.

It is rumored that Longevity Heaven controls a large number of Trial Gates and is one of the earliest organizations exploring them.

The organization has many Magic Armor Masters and Trial Takers, but because of their secretive operations and extremely cruel methods, no one knows where their headquarters are even now.

If the Abyss Base was indeed established by Longevity Heaven, coming here again in the future would probably be very difficult. This is why Li Xiu preferred to risk staying longer to complete the S-Class trial.

He is only the world’s number one Magic Armor Master, not the most powerful person in the world. Even the S-Class Magic Armor "Red Flower King" he uses is provided by collaborators.

After choosing the entry ticket, Li Xiu directly selected the S-Class Talent.

Although S-Class Magic Armors are rare, Li Xiu is one of the Magic Armor Masters who can control them, even though that S-Class Armor doesn’t belong to him personally.

As for attributes, they could be accumulated gradually later, there was no immediate rush.

Li Xiu hesitated between attribute and talent, needing physical fitness to pick up the Blood Pattern Revolver; otherwise, it was useless to enter.

Attributes seemed like the best choice, but ultimately Li Xiu chose talent.

After several trials, his physical fitness had significantly improved. If such improvement still couldn’t budge the Blood Pattern Revolver, even with the S-Class Attribute Enhancement, it wouldn’t make much difference.

The difference between fifty paces and a hundred paces isn’t much, Li Xiu estimated that even with the S-Class enhancement, he couldn’t pick up the Blood Pattern Revolver.

The main reason for wanting to enter again was to solve a few mysteries in his heart.

The moment he chose talent, a beam of light projected from the light screen, and a heart-shaped blue gemstone appeared in front of Li Xiu.

The gemstone had countless tiny facets, each sparkling with blue light, as if a myriad of stars gathered on that small blue gemstone heart.

Lightly touching the gemstone heart with his finger, Li Xiu instantly felt a cold stream enter his body through his finger. The blue gemstone heart transformed into a blue stream of light in an instant, flowing into Li Xiu’s body like a galaxy.

Li Xiu felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone, numb all over. The terrifying cold swept through his body, rushing toward his heart.

His heart felt frozen, as if it had stopped beating. That sensation of having no life left in his body was unforgettable for Li Xiu.

Only after a long while did the cold feeling gradually recede, and Li Xiu’s body slowly regained sensation.

Ice Heart: S-Class Talent, immune to most frozen skill effects.

Although the Ice Heart talent was no match for a "forfeit"-type Divine Skill, it was a pleasant surprise for Li Xiu.

Because that Blood Pattern Revolver had very strong chills. Previously, when Li Xiu tried to grasp it, his fingers would soon become numb with cold, unable to exert force while holding the gun.

With the Ice Heart Talent, at least he wouldn’t be affected by that chill anymore.

After obtaining the Ice Heart Talent, Li Xiu chose the entry ticket once more.

The remaining two reward patterns disappeared, and the entry ticket pattern projected in front of Li Xiu, transforming into a blue vortex, pulling him back into that eerie place.

There was the stone table, lamp oil, Blood Pattern Revolver, and that eerie metal coffin.

Unlike last time, Li Xiu knew time was short; approximately ten minutes remained before he would be teleported away. He had to find the answers he wanted within this time.

Li Xiu paid no attention to the metal coffin or the demon spirit within, directly reaching for the Blood Pattern Revolver on the table.

The ring pattern on his finger surfaced, emitting a red light; this was the Blood Boiling Skill, allowing Li Xiu to exert his physical ability to 120% efficiency.

As his fingers touched the grip of the Blood Pattern Revolver, a wave of cold surged over, making Li Xiu shiver involuntarily.

At this moment, Li Xiu realized the Ice Heart skill could only negate the frozen effect, not completely block the harm from low temperatures.

In other words, no matter how low the temperature, Li Xiu’s body wouldn’t freeze, but the low temperature could still harm him.

However, it was apparent that the chill was much weaker than last time, still within a bearable range, proving the Ice Heart Talent had some effect on low temperatures, just not immunizing him entirely.

Both hands gripping the gun’s handle, Blood Boiling Skill erupted, Li Xiu exerted all his strength, attempting to lift the Blood Pattern Revolver.

The Blood Pattern Revolver only swayed slightly from left to right, showing no sign of leaving the tabletop.

As Li Xiu anticipated, his strength was far from enough to lift the Blood Pattern Revolver, still falling short by miles.

In fact, Li Xiu didn’t hold much hope; his purpose wasn’t solely for this.

With both hands gripping the Blood Pattern Revolver, he continued to apply force, gradually turning the barrel towards the direction of the metal coffin.

Now Li Xiu wanted to verify one suspicion in his mind, whether the Blood Pattern Revolver was meant to kill the demon spirit inside the metal coffin.

At the moment the gun was aimed at the metal coffin, the pair of blood red eyes on it opened once more, staring fixedly at Li Xiu. They were filled with venom and anger, while an invisible force descended upon him.
