Chapter 78: Chapter 77 Father of Demon Armor_2

"Am I qualified to join the Longevity Society?" Li Xiu chuckled, speaking ambiguously.

"Those who can join the Longevity Society are either masters of their domains or top talents in their fields. You have a natural gift for Demon Armor, already considered a top Magic Armor Master. With my recommendation, of course, you’re qualified to join the Longevity Society," Sha Chu said.

"Since you know I’m a top Magic Armor Master, you should also know that people like me are quite in demand. Why should I join the Longevity Society?" Li Xiu laughed.

"That depends on what your goals are," Sha Chu said, gently brushing a few strands of hair from her forehead. In the morning light, she unexpectedly had a bit of a student’s innocent look.

"What other goals could I have?" Li Xiu said calmly.

"Indeed, as a Magic Armor Master, your space for further advancement is quite limited. But as a Trial Taker, perhaps you haven’t even stepped through the door," Sha Chu said.

"I’m willing to hear more," Li Xiu was genuinely interested in what Sha Chu would say next.

"What people now think of as the Trial Ground, to use an analogy, is merely a warm-up room, not truly a place to enter. Do you know where those demon spirits come from? What is the world of demon spirits like? What is a true Trial Taker? Do you... want... to live... forever?"

"Immortality?" Li Xiu looked at Sha Chu in surprise, thinking she must be crazy. Did she really believe that as a member of the Longevity Society, she could become immortal?

"Do you know the story of Emperor Qin searching for immortality?" Sha Chu disregarded Li Xiu’s gaze and asked with a smile.

"Of course, you’re not going to tell me that you’ve created an Elixir of Longevity, are you?" Li Xiu felt Sha Chu was increasingly like a swindler, and a particularly clumsy one at that.

"There is no Elixir of Longevity, but there is someone who has lived for thousands of years, unaging and undying, residing in the Longevity Society. If you join the Longevity Society, you can share in the secrets of immortality," Sha Chu said, enunciating each word carefully.

"Have you studied pyramid schemes?" Li Xiu laughed.

"I know it’s hard to believe, but that’s okay. You will believe," Sha Chu stood up and said, "Come with me to a place."

"Can I not go?" Li Xiu didn’t move.

"Yes, you can." Sha Chu extended her hand. A streak of light flew out from her palm and landed in her hand, revealing the sheathed Tang Blade she had previously carried on her back.

Sha Chu held the hilt and made a drawing motion, yet it didn’t look as if she actually drew the blade out.

Snap!

The topmost button of Li Xiu’s shirt snapped in half and fell to the ground.

"Can I make a request?" Li Xiu knew that this time he probably had no choice but to go. With a blade that fast, even without the Fire Lotus Sword on him, he couldn’t react in time.

He could still use the Jedi Knight, but the Jedi Knight was, after all, only an E-grade demon spirit, incomparable to the Double-headed Demon Spirit that Sha Chu had ridden earlier.

"Speak."

"Can I go back to get my Demon Armor?" Li Xiu asked, smiling.

"Do I look like an idiot?" Sha Chu leaned her refined face closer to Li Xiu, letting him take a good look.

"So that’s a no, then. Can I request a ride? I’m a bit tired and can’t walk," Li Xiu said again.

"Here, there’s a more advanced mode of transportation guaranteed to satisfy you." Sha Chu casually tossed the gemstone set on her ring finger, and the ring transformed in mid-air into a demon spirit resembling a steel double-headed dragon.

With a leap, Sha Chu landed on the demon spirit more than ten meters high.

"It’s a bit too high." Li Xiu approached the demon spirit but did not move. With the Fire Lotus Sword, let alone jumping up, even climbing up was difficult.

One of the demon spirit’s heads lowered down, bit onto Li Xiu’s collar, and lifted him directly, placing him beside Sha Chu.

With a flap of its wings, the demon spirit carried the two into the sky. The flight was smooth, but the wind rushing towards them was so strong, it contorted the muscles on Li Xiu’s face.

"The downside of being a Magic Armor Master is that no matter how powerful you are, without your Demon Armor, you’re just an ordinary person," Li Xiu now wished he could immediately become a true Trial Taker. Without the Fire Lotus Sword on him, at least he could think of a way to escape; now, there wasn’t even a chance to run away.

Accepting what comes, Li Xiu sat on the back of the Double-headed Demon Spirit, taking in the view below.

"How do you feel?" Sha Chu asked with a smile.

"It’s my first time on such an advanced mode of transportation. Aside from the wind being a bit strong and cold, everything else is fine," Li Xiu said casually.

"Once you become a true Trial Taker, this wind will be nothing to you," Sha Chu said softly.

As she said this, Sha Chu had the Double-headed Demon Spirit slow down, making it slightly more comfortable for Li Xiu.

After flying beyond the limits of Tyrone City, the Double-headed Demon Spirit descended a bit, flying almost close to the forest canopy, making the air currents less cold.

"Where are you taking me?" Li Xiu asked.

"You’ll know when we get there," Sha Chu didn’t answer his question.

So, Li Xiu didn’t ask anything further and just lay on the back of the demon spirit to rest.

A recess extended between the two necks of the Double-headed Demon Spirit, leading to the back, so sleeping here didn’t pose a risk of falling off.
