Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Demon Spirit Ring

The red ring was worn on Li Xiu’s hand, and unlike the Skill Ring, it did not turn into a hidden brand.

"What is going on?" Li Xiu’s brain was already feeling overwhelmed.

A gemstone from Earth could actually become a Demon Spirit Ring, far exceeding Li Xiu’s understanding of demon spirits and gemstones.

"Could it be that Sha Chu could control demon spirits because he obtained some unique gemstone like that of the Namiya Jedi Knight? Or is it that the rewards in the Trial Ground naturally include Demon Spirit Rings..." Li Xiu rubbed the Demon Spirit Ring, his mind flashing with various thoughts, yet unable to confirm them.

With a thought, the Demon Spirit Ring immediately sparkled, flying off from Li Xiu’s finger, transforming into a warrior clad in dark red armor right before him.

His armor was somewhat different from human armor, resembling an insect’s shell, but with a different texture, shimmering like jade wrapped in a protective patina.

The Jedi Knight felt less like a human warrior, more like a half-human, half-demon monster, with its samurai sword drawing out, revealing a blade radiating intense fluorescent light — a sword of Red Apatite.

Wild, terrifying, fierce, powerful, cool — these seemingly contradictory adjectives were perfectly unified in the Jedi Knight.

With just a thought from Li Xiu, the samurai sword in the Jedi Knight’s hand was infused with Demonic Light, and with one slash, it cleaved the table before him in half, as if cutting through tofu.

"It really is E-level Demon Spirit standards!" Li Xiu approached, touching the Jedi Knight’s body, which to him felt like a large figurine, albeit one that could move.

All Li Xiu now had was one thought — whether to visit the Gem Market. If he could find a few more gemstones like the Jedi Knight, he could form a Demon Spirit army.

Yet it was merely a thought. Among so many gemstones, only this one gave him that strange hunger feeling, indicating it was exceptional. Finding another such gemstone would likely not be easy.

"Could I use demon spirits during the trial?" Li Xiu was eager to find out the answer.

If they could be used, the difficulty of trials would greatly decrease for him.

No matter how good his skills were, those trials that truly tested physical attributes, like athletics trials, still posed challenges.

If he could use the Jedi Knight during trials, then physical trials wouldn’t be a worry, greatly increasing his survival prospects in the Trial Ground.

If he couldn’t run fast himself, he could have the Jedi Knight carry him.

The appearance of the Jedi Knight seemed to open a gateway to a new world for Li Xiu.

In the days that followed, Tyrone City became increasingly chaotic. Kun Sha united the remaining major families in Tyrone City, took over the forces Zheng De left behind, and tried to stabilize the situation.

Unfortunately, people need to eat, and no amount of Tyrone currency could exchange for a grain of rice now. When people are starving, they’ll do anything, regardless of who the City Lord is.

The entirety of Tyrone City was in madness, with lootings and chaos everywhere. Kun Sha’s workforce was far from enough to control the situation.

The critical issue was a lack of food, unable to feed all the residents.

What was even sadder was that those supposedly allied major families secretly raised prices, trading large amounts of food for gemstones and making a fortune amidst the chaos.

After Kun Sha talked with Qin Shi, offering her unknown conditions, she agreed to temporarily stay and help defend Tyrone City.

"What’s wrong?" Li Xiu got up to have breakfast in the first-floor hall, seeing Shale looking sickly, almost sprawled across the sofa.

"All gone... all gone..." Shale repeated like a zombie.

"What happened to him?" Li Xiu asked Pa Shan, who was having breakfast nearby.

"He gave all the treasures he got from the Vault to Kun Sha." Pa Shan smiled as he spoke.

"You gave all those antique gemstones to Kun Sha?" Li Xiu asked, surprised at Shale.

He could hardly imagine Shale doing such a thing.

Upon hearing Li Xiu’s words, Shale suddenly leapt up from the sofa like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointing at Li Xiu and shouting, "What do you mean ’gave’? It’s a loan, a loan; I’m charging interest!"

"Oh, that’s good then." Li Xiu released the Demon Armor and sat down to have breakfast.

After the outburst, Shale again wilted, sprawling back onto the sofa.

"Old Sha, what did you do in the past?" Li Xiu had heard that Shale killed many back home, was a fierce bandit, and fled to Tyrone City because he couldn’t make it in his homeland.

"None of your business." Shale responded weakly.

Li Xiu wasn’t angry and continued, "Later, I want to visit the Gem Market; do you know of any reliable gem markets nearby?"

"In this situation, which Gem Market would dare to open? Aren’t they afraid of being robbed?" Shale rolled his eyes as he spoke.

Li Xiu felt some head pain upon hearing this. Despite the low chances, he still wanted to take a look, hoping to find a gemstone like the Jedi Knight.

"Don’t wander around now; Kun Sha has already taken over parts of Zheng De’s remaining estates, including several Trial Gates. Let’s seize the opportunity to improve ourselves at the Trial Gate so we can become real Trial Takers sooner." Pa Shan was very focused on becoming a Trial Taker.

"Let’s go now. Once I become a real Trial Taker, anyone who messes with me will get hammered to death." Upon hearing this, Shale stood up directly.

"Do you have the gemstones to open a Trial Gate?" Li Xiu asked.

Upon hearing Li Xiu’s words, Pa Shan and Shale wilted; their gemstones had been taken by Kun Sha, leaving only small fragments that were far from enough to open any Trial Gates.

"I have some." Qin Shi walked over with a smile, shaking a bag of rubies in front of them. "I can help you open a Trial Gate, but you need to take me with you and ensure my safety."

"Why would you, a Magic Armor Master, want to go to that crappy place?" Shale muttered.

"Oh, it’s nothing much, just suddenly got interested in Trial Gates." Qin Shi said indifferently.

"Okay, we guarantee your safety, but all you have are rubies. Among the Trial Gates Kun Sha controls, only two require rubies. We don’t have enough people for the Mad Ball Trial Ground, so we have to go to the Blood Bird Trial Ground. But for that trial ground, your bag of rubies won’t suffice; we’d need at least thirteen 1-carat pigeon blood rubies." Pa Shan pondered aloud.

Upon hearing the need for thirteen pigeon blood rubies, Qin Shi hesitated, but soon realized that they were only 1-carat rubies. Having recently made a fortune, she wasn’t overly concerned.

"Thirteen pigeon blood rubies, no problem. Just take me there and ensure my safety." Qin Shi said.

"Alright, let’s go." Pa Shan somehow found a Jeep and took Li Xiu, Qin Shi, Shale, and A Fei to the Blood Bird Trial Ground.
