CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 190: SUPER SPIRIT GEMSTONE OF THE OLD MINE

"Aren’t you testing?" Ximen Guan looked at Li Xiu with confusion.

"I mean, to stimulate the maximum power of the Super Spirit Gemstone." Li Xiu said as he played with the Light-Speed Spear.

"Of course, testing the maximum power is always best." Ximen Guan didn’t quite understand why Li Xiu asked this, as testing maximum power seemed normal, so why specifically ask about it?

"Then let’s give it a try." Li Xiu held the Light-Speed Spear and his Spiritual Sense began to invade.

The golden light on the Light-Speed Spear grew increasingly strong, like an iron rod gradually being heated to gold hue, until it became transparent like a Golden Crystal, with a single spot of bright red on the tip, resembling a droplet of blood crystallized on the edge.

This was just the beginning. As Li Xiu’s Spiritual Sense crossed that line, the Light-Speed Spear in his hand suddenly surged with brilliance, so intense that the entire spear seemed to fluoresce, only the powerful spear-shaped glow was visible, the body of the spear had disappeared.

The intense Demonic Light made the Light-Speed Spear look like a gold-transformed viper, that spot of blood red resembling a blood-colored monocular serpent’s eye, giving a sense of evil, menacing, mysterious, and eerie.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the Demonic Light’s radiation from the Light-Speed Spear, the surrounding instruments suddenly exploded continuously, as if something inside had burst.

"Oh no, stop it, stop immediately..." Ximen Guan yelled anxiously. Although the equipment in the warehouse wasn’t vital, they were testing instruments that were bought, causing him heartache.

Li Xiu withdrew his Spiritual Sense, and the light on the Light-Speed Spear gradually dimmed, restoring its original black rod-like state after a moment.

Li Xiu felt very satisfied. Although they hadn’t yet reached maximum power, it was already stronger than the last overload on Light-Speed One. The Demonic Light explosion of this extent didn’t damage the Light-Speed Spear at all, truly stronger than Light-Speed One.

"Luckily it was just the sensors that blew. We just need to replace the sensors. The Demonic Light from the Super Spirit Gemstone was too strong, its radiation exceeding the sensor’s limit. We should test outside." After inspecting the instruments, Ximen Guan breathed a sigh of relief, understanding why Li Xiu asked earlier.

"No need for further tests, let’s leave it at that." Li Xiu dismantled the Demon Armor and put it in his backpack.

"Be careful using it, don’t break it again. We no longer have materials to create another set like this." As Li Xiu was leaving, Ximen Guan reminded him.

"Got it." Li Xiu waved his hand, not turning back.

With this set of Demon Armor, Li Xiu definitely felt less apprehensive and planned to head to the old mining site in Red Sand City now.

"Recent reports didn’t mention any Demon Spirits there, hopefully the Super Spirit Gemstone hasn’t been discovered and taken away?" Li Xiu studied the news before heading there.

The latest report on the old mining site was from three days ago, stating that the Demon Spirits appearing there recently had vanished as if they disappeared into thin air.

"Just have to try my luck and hope the Super Spirit Gemstone is still there." Li Xiu felt somewhat helpless. Magic Armor Masters are too reliant on Demon Armor; without it, many problems are unsolvable.

This issue could only be resolved when the City of Light grows bigger, allowing Ximen Guan to set up a production line for Demon Armor.

By then, Demon Armor could be mass-produced and easily replaced, eliminating many issues.

Provided there is money and materials, and Ximen Guan resolves existing technical challenges, these are matters for the future.

Currently, it’s just Ximen Guan handcrafting Demon Armor, but luckily, Light-Speed Two is adequate and shouldn’t be easily damaged.

Li Xiu didn’t want to cause trouble for the City of Light, so he headed to the Hero’s Trial Gate first, and under the watchful eyes, entered the Trial Ground.

After clearing the Dark Maze several times, he finally randomly acquired an entry ticket. Unexpectedly, during an S-level trial, the attribute reward allowed Li Xiu’s Primordial Embryo Quality to finally reach the 4.0 limit.

What puzzled Li Xiu was, even without the Ruby Demon Spirit causing chaos in his body, he still didn’t advance directly to C-level.

"Last time, it was due to the Ruby causing chaos that prevented D-level advancement. What’s the reason this time?" Li Xiu couldn’t help but frown.

After long contemplation, Li Xiu felt the issue likely lies with the beastling Demon Spirit.

"Could it be that last time I was mistaken, the obstacle to my level advancement was the beastling Demon Spirit rather than the Awaiting Bride?" Li Xiu pondered deeply, thinking it quite possible.

Although it was after the Awaiting Bride transformed into the Demon Spirit Ring that he advanced to D-level.

Yet there may not be a direct connection between the two, rather the beastling Demon Spirit absorbed some special substance from the Starlight Ruby.

Li Xiu now contemplated whether there could be a possibility that he must also feed the beastling Demon Spirit inside him before they can advance together.

Evidently, the beastling Demon Spirit cannot be fed enough through Trial Ground enhancements, as it continuously eats the Demon Core or Gemstone carried by Li Xiu, just not with significant quantity or effect.

"If that’s true, then the primary way for the beastling Demon Spirit to grow might indeed be absorbing special substances from Demon Spirit Gemstones. Only after absorbing the special substance from the Starlight Ruby last time was I able to smoothly advance. Consuming numerous Demon Cores without the beastling advancing indicates that the special substance in Demon Spirit Gemstones greatly aids its growth." Li Xiu hoped his speculation wasn’t true; if it was, every advancement might require finding and consuming some Demon Spirit Gemstones to likely successfully level-up.
