Chapter 83: Chapter 79: The Diamond of Misfortune

Li Xiu ignored him, focusing on training his physical abilities and controlling the Jedi Knights and Knights of Chrysanthemum.

He had to fight personally and simultaneously control both the Jedi Knights and Knights of Chrysanthemum. Doing three things at once was certainly a challenge, but it was nothing for Li Xiu.

Of course, Li Xiu could choose not to control them, merely issue a command and let them fight based on their instincts.

If it were a normal battle, that approach would be fine; both the Jedi Knights and Knights of Chrysanthemum had strong combat abilities and would not be at a disadvantage against opponents of the same level.

However, the current situation was different. If it came to a real confrontation, he had to strike with precision and couldn’t afford to give Sha Chu any opportunity.

Sha Chu was definitely a genuine Trial Taker, unlike Kun Sha, who was a novice. Her abilities far surpassed Kun Sha’s in many ways.

Therefore, Li Xiu required perfect coordination between himself, the Jedi Knights, and the Knights of Chrysanthemum, which meant he had to personally control them to achieve this level of synergy.

Nevertheless, it might not come to that, as he had already summoned the Knights of Chrysanthemum. If he could make Sha Chu mistakenly believe she had control over him, he could easily extricate himself.

Li Xiu just didn’t want to gamble everything on luck. If something went wrong, he could still rely on his own strength to turn the tables.

"Come over here." While Li Xiu was diligently training, he suddenly heard Ximen Guan, who had been silent for several days, speak.

"What do you need? Food?" Li Xiu thought Ximen Guan might want to change his diet. The food Sha Chu provided was all compressed biscuits, which could stave off hunger but weren’t particularly tasty; it was easy to grow tired of them over time.

"How about a trade?" Ximen Guan shook his head, declining the food Li Xiu offered, appearing very clear-headed at the moment.

"What kind of trade?" Li Xiu still held respect for Ximen Guan.

Regardless of whether he researched the Demon Armor himself or stole it from Changshengtian, it did not diminish the positive impact his Demon Armor had on humanity.

Even if the Demon Armor was actually researched by Changshengtian, if they hadn’t published it and allowed mass production, humanity’s situation would be much more difficult than it is now.

"You’re a Trial Taker and already possess a demon spirit, so you should be aware of the benefits. If you help me with something after you get out, I can give you a Top-Grade Demon Spirit Gemstone," Ximen Guan said slowly.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Xiu asked, looking at Ximen Guan.

Ximen Guan nodded slightly and said, "Not asking about the gemstone first shows me you’re more trustworthy. Rest assured, what I need you to do is definitely within your capabilities; I won’t ask you to take revenge on Changshengtian for me, nor will I ask you to find a way to rescue me. It won’t be anything unethical either."

"Clarification is necessary," Li Xiu remained unmoved.

Ximen Guan pondered for a while before saying, "Before I was imprisoned by Changshengtian, I was researching a new type of Demon Armor. Although it hasn’t been completely developed yet, it’s almost done, lacking only the final stages and human testing. Once you’re out, retrieve this Demon Armor, find a reliable Magic Armor researcher, complete it, and assign a suitable controller for it."

"Is it really that simple? The Demon Armor isn’t stored in Changshengtian, right?" Li Xiu found it hard to believe that what Ximen Guan wanted was so straightforward.

"No, I’ve hidden it in a safe place, and Changshengtian doesn’t even know it exists." Ximen Guan suddenly raised his head and locked eyes with Li Xiu, demanding, "But you must swear never to sell it casually, or keep it for yourself, or give it to friends or family. You must find the most suitable controller for it."

"I’m not interested in your Demon Armor." Li Xiu spoke earnestly.

The development of Demon Armor is incredibly rapid, with new types emerging almost every year, each more advanced than the last.

Ximen Guan has been trapped here for decades; the Demon Armor he developed at that time should be outdated by now.

Even if he made an S-Class Magic Armor, it certainly wouldn’t compare to the performance of current new models of S-Class Magic Armor.

The Ghost Mask Li Xiu obtained from the Zhengde Vault is already an old model of S-Class Magic Armor, but it’s certainly much better than the goods from decades ago.

Li Xiu even suspected that the S-Class Magic Armor Ximen Guan developed might be inferior to current A-Class or even B-Class Magic Armor.

It’s like computers; a high-end computer from decades ago would be considered rubbish today. Not to mention comparing it with current high-end computers; even a general-purpose computer could easily outperform the top models from those years.

Of course, the gap in Demon Armor isn’t that extreme, but there would definitely be a significant impact.

"As a Trial Taker, you naturally wouldn’t be interested in my Demon Armor, but you must find it the best owner and never keep it for yourself." Ximen Guan said straightforwardly.

"What if I can use it?" Li Xiu laughed.

"Use it my foot; even if you have the talent of a Magic Armor Master, it won’t be much. Otherwise, why did you switch to being a Trial Taker? Don’t ruin my Demon Armor. You can’t use it yourself; you must find it the best owner." Ximen Guan called out.
