CHAPTER 415: CHAPTER 189: LIGHTSPEED TWO_3

Returning to the City of Light, Li Xiu went straight to Ximen Guan’s laboratory with the Paradise Elixir Bottle.

"You’ve finally come back. Light-Speed Two is already completed, and the instrument tests have passed. Now, it just lacks human testing. Without you here, there was no way to test it. Ye Xiyuan, the little girl, doesn’t possess enough Spiritual Sense strength, and can only activate some of the functions. The rest has to be tested by you... huh... what’s this?" Ximen Guan was speaking excitedly when he suddenly spotted the Paradise Elixir Bottle and asked with some confusion.

Li Xiu recounted the process of acquiring the Paradise Elixir Bottle to Ximen Guan, who, after listening, replied with some doubt, "When I was in the Heavens of Longevity, I never heard of such a person. I’m unsure whether what he says is true or false. You could take a trip to White Night City to see if the Suihou Bead he mentioned truly exists, but be cautious and don’t fall for his tricks. People like that should never be easily trusted."

"I’ll claim the Super Spirit Gemstone first before going. It’s not urgent. Let me test Light-Speed Two first. You can keep this item to research. Be careful, as it’s a bit strange. If there’s anything unusual, notify me immediately." Li Xiu instructed briefly before turning and leaving the office to head to the laboratory warehouse.

Inside the warehouse were several sets of Demon Armor, but most were merely half-finished products for testing. The only complete set was undoubtedly the Light-Speed Two.

The compressed form of Light-Speed Two was similar to that of Light-Speed One, with no further reduction in size. It’s estimated that this type of Demon Armor is hard to compress further unless employing technology similar to Ximen Guan’s set of Demon Armor.

However, with this size, Li Xiu was already quite satisfied. He walked over to Light-Speed Two, opened the glass cover, and examined it closely.

The shell was black, entirely devoid of any patterns or decorative lines, squarely simple yet elegant.

Li Xiu speculated it was due to time constraints, leaving no time to pay attention to such details.

Li Xiu didn’t mind this, as long as the performance was adequate, appearance didn’t matter. Reshaping the appearance could wait for a time when he was free.

Having experience with Light-Speed One, Li Xiu skillfully used a fingerprint unlock, causing the black Demon Armor to quickly dismantle and extend along his arm. In no time, the pure black Demon Armor completely enveloped Li Xiu’s body.

On the black armor-shaped Demon Armor, mysterious and beautiful golden Light Patterns flowed, making the once lifeless pure black Demon Armor appear a bit more majestic. Yet, against the black base, the majesty didn’t seem gaudy.

"Huh! What’s this?" Li Xiu discovered an unfamiliar device attached to the back of the Demon Armor.

Reaching out to touch it, he noticed that this device on the back could actually be removed.

The device was a black rod, about a meter long, with a grip just right for holding.

"What is this thing? Could old Guan have equipped me with a baton?" Li Xiu felt this rod was similar to a baton, just a little longer.

Li Xiu didn’t quite understand why Ximen Guan would equip him with such a rod as a weapon.

Demon Armor is a unified whole, even if it has weapons, they are typically fixed and connected to the Demon Armor, otherwise there’s no way to activate it.

This rod was completely independent, unable to connect to the Demon Armor, leaving its purpose unknown.

"This is a weapon system I specifically designed for Light-Speed Two. How does it feel?" Ximen Guan walked in smiling.

"How do you use this weapon?" Li Xiu really had never used such a Demon Armor weapon before.

"Just treat it as another set of Demon Armor and activate it the same way." Ximen Guan proudly continued, "In Light-Speed Two, I’ve used some new technology where the Demon Armor itself can conduct your Spiritual Sense. Without needing any physical connection, just contact is enough to directly use your Spiritual Sense to activate the weapon system with an independent energy core. However, using this will definitely require diverting some of your Spiritual Sense. Normally, a Demon Spirit Master can’t handle it, but you should manage fine."

It was Li Xiu’s first time seeing such a Demon Armor weapon, so he tried it, and it really could be activated without a physical connection, which surprised him.

In the instant the rod was activated, golden Light Patterns instantly lit up, and one end of the rod elongated like a retractable stick. The rod body, also adorned with golden Light Patterns, extended to instantly over three meters in length, with a spearhead gleaming with blood-red light protruding from the top.

The wooden rod instantly transformed into a long spear, entirely black interspersed with gold, with a spearhead carrying a hint of a blood-red hue.

Li Xiu merely activated the internal power slightly, and the long spear glowed a brilliant gold, with the entire spear shaft turning into something akin to a Golden Crystal, churning with strong Demonic Light fluctuations inside. The tip of the spear manifested a hint of blood light, bewitchingly enchanting to the utmost extent, as if a casual thrust would penetrate through the void itself.

With a swift jab of his hand, Li Xiu effortlessly penetrated through a meter-thick wall of testing Demon Ash as though it were soft tofu.

"Good stuff, what is this thing called?" Li Xiu exclaimed with joy.

"I didn’t bother with a name, let’s just call it the Light-Speed Spear." Ximen Guan answered as if it were very casual, yet his face was filled with pride, proving that this Light-Speed Spear was a masterpiece of his.

"Not bad, a good name." Li Xiu nodded approvingly.

"The name’s not important. What’s important is that the Light-Speed Spear is crafted using the pair of Monster Horns you brought back, the spearhead-like weapon, and materials refined from Demon Spirit Wood. The Super Spirit Gemstone is also installed inside. When you require greater power, just activate it, and it will unleash an enormous power of Demonic Light. Of course, the precondition is that your Spiritual Sense needs to be strong enough to stimulate its power. Earlier, when I had Ye Xiyuan test it, her activation rate was very low, and the combat power unleashed couldn’t reach the level of a Super Spirit," Ximen Guan explained.

"As long as the power is sufficient. Is this material sturdy enough not to be burned by the power of Demonic Light?" Li Xiu questioned with a smile.

"Rest assured, this time we used refined materials from Demon Spirit Wood without adding ordinary auxiliary materials, ensuring extremely high strength. I’ve invested heavily in this set of Demon Armor, using up at least a third of the Demon Spirit Wood. You couldn’t burn it even if you tried, especially this Light-Speed Spear, perfectly capable of bearing Super Spirit power," Ximen Guan confidently assured.

"Why don’t we... try activating the energy of the Super Spirit Gemstone..." Li Xiu looked uncertainly towards Ximen Guan and asked.
