CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 184 WAN CHAOXIN_3

"You’re right, the problem is indeed with the Demon Armor. The requirements for Spiritual Sense are too high; even top-tier Magic Armor Masters can’t activate it. Even if we make it, no one can use it." Ximen Guan was utterly disappointed.

"Can’t you lower the requirement for Spiritual Sense?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.

"This is already the lowest requirement we can achieve currently. If we lower the standards further, some functionalities can’t be used, so even if it can be activated, it would be meaningless." Ximen Guan said somewhat dejectedly.

"Then let’s continue making it as it is," Li Xiu said calmly.

"What’s the point of making it if no one can use it?" Ximen Guan said gloomily.

Li Xiu slowly walked up to the Demon Armor and placed a finger on the crystal.

"No need to try; that girl’s Spiritual Sense should be no weaker than yours. She can’t activate it, and neither will you... activate..." Ximen Guan spoke, but his eyes slowly widened.

As they watched, the crystal emitted a dazzling light. Threads of light patterns spread across the Demon Armor, and before long, the entire armor lit up, as if worn by an invisible person, floating in the air.

"You... your Spiritual Sense... can activate it..." Ximen Guan jumped up, pointing at Li Xiu with a trembling finger full of excitement.

Li Xiu withdrew his finger, and the light on the Demon Armor immediately dissipated, the armor dropping back onto the stage.

"What are you doing? Why won’t you put it on?" Ximen Guan asked urgently.

"You made me swear not to wear it casually. Besides, this Demon Armor isn’t completed yet; even the basic Demonic Light system isn’t perfected, so it can’t be used for combat. Why should I wear it?" Li Xiu explained.

"You’re honestly trying to piss me off?" Ximen Guan glared at Li Xiu fiercely and then said helplessly, "You’re right, there is indeed an issue with the Demonic Light system. It can’t operate normally; I’ve been researching this problem and cannot find a good solution. Using traditional methods would cause the Demon Armor to lose its unity, making it difficult to pass the Trial Gate’s rule check. With my new design, there’s a segment that cannot be solved; I’m still researching it."

"Let’s set this matter aside for now. When will the Light Speed No. 2 be ready?" Li Xiu asked.

"It’s useless to rush. It will take at least another month." Ximen Guan replied irritably.

"I’m not rushing; trouble has found its way to us." Li Xiu recounted to Ximen Guan the situation of Wan Chaoxin coming to the City of Light.

"Some people inside Eternal Heaven are like that, always feeling superior, acting as if they’re far nobler than others, not treating normal people as humans. Since he’s already here, we can’t be unprepared." Ximen Guan listened, his face sour, and said through clenched teeth, "Give me another half month; even if I have to skip meals and sleep, I’ll get the Light Speed No. 2 ready for you, so you’ll at least have the means to protect yourself. We can’t allow those Eternal Heaven guys to remain arrogant."

Suddenly changing the subject, Ximen Guan continued, "I’ve also been researching that Super Spirit Gemstone and have achieved some results. I’ll install it on Light Speed No. 2 as an auxiliary energy source. By then, Light Speed No. 2’s Demonic Light intensity definitely won’t be weaker than that of the Super Spirit. But for real combat power, it ultimately depends on how much your Spiritual Sense can activate it and your ability to control and fight with the Demon Armor."

"With the strength of your Spiritual Sense, it shouldn’t be much of an issue." Ximen Guan squinted at Li Xiu and said, "How about we discuss it: treat everything I said before as nonsense, and once I’ve made the Demon Armor, you’ll be the one to control it."

"We’ll see when you’ve made it. Your Demon Armor has too many issues," Li Xiu said with a laugh.

Ximen Guan sighed dejectedly, "To ensure it passes the Trial Gate’s rules, many of the original designs and materials cannot be used. I have to redesign and research new materials and solutions, which means there are many problems to solve. Currently, our equipment and materials are insufficient, and progress is too slow."

"I recently earned some money. I’ll try to allocate some to you. The conditions are indeed limited, so just manage with what you have for now." Li Xiu had no better solution. The City of Light was just a small place, and the profits he could obtain were limited; he truly couldn’t provide more funds.

Ximen Guan understood Li Xiu’s struggles: "You should go back now and try to keep a low profile. Wait until I’ve finished Light Speed No. 2. Those Eternal Heaven people really think the Super Spirit is invincible. I, Ximen Guan, will show them that Super Spirit is worthless."

After leaving the lab, Li Xiu set off for the Golden Gate.

The Demon Armor needs to be made, and the Trial Taker’s level needs to be raised; otherwise, facing a Super Spirit Tester will always be problematic.

"My level-up pace is really slow. If I could make a magical spirit a Super Spirit, there might be some room to maneuver." Li Xiu contemplated how he could make his magical spirit a Super Spirit.

The easiest magical spirits to cultivate are naturally the Jedi Knights and Demigod Shana, who consume everything and almost require no time to digest, making cultivation most convenient.

"This time at the Golden Gate, I’ll try to collect more Demon Cores and first train the Jedi Knight to S-Level, then find a way to make him a Super Spirit. If time allows, perhaps that soon-to-be-born Super Spirit Gemstone is a good choice." Li Xiu resolved to fully nurture the Jedi Knight into a Super Spirit.

The Godslayer Shrine was also carried by Li Xiu, a piece that could be used as a shield, better to be safe than sorry.

Li Xiu was riding the Pink Nightmare along the road when he suddenly felt an itch in his ear, as if a cold breath was blowing onto it.

Turning his head to look, Li Xiu was startled, almost falling off the Pink Nightmare.

In a red dress, a bride-to-be, appeared behind him without him knowing, seated sideways on the Pink Nightmare’s back. Her face, covered by long hair, was almost touching Li Xiu’s back of the head.

Li Xiu remembered he hadn’t summoned her out, so how did she come out on her own?

"Husband... I’m hungry..." the bride-to-be said softly.
