The owner of Daliang Jewelry Store had no idea that it was a topaz; he took it back as a citrine.

The people who sold him this batch of crystals were a team of gem hunters.

Those gem hunters roam around the ruins of cities destroyed by evil spirits or the gem mines all year round.

Especially under the ruins of those cities, no one knows how many gems are buried.

Sha Chu found a member of the gem hunter team. According to him, the yellow crystals were found under the ruins of a city.

They dug up a villa buried underground in the ruins, which was still relatively intact. They found many crystal ornaments in the villa, and even a crystal chandelier. The crystals used for decoration were all natural crystals.

I thought I could find some jewelry or something, but in the end I only found some amethyst and citrine.

The Imperial Topaz was mixed in among them, but they didn't notice it. After they came back, they sold it to the owner of Daliang Gem Shop as a citrine.

"According to the clues given by the gem hunter, I checked a lot of information and can roughly confirm that the gem is not a citrine, but an imperial topaz. In the old days, there was a very famous racing driver. He was very talented and capable, and he was extremely obsessed with racing and competitions, even crazy."

"His talent and madness made him a top racer in a short period of time, and he even beat the world's number one racer in some races. But it was also because of his madness that he had an accident during the race, and his leg bones were seriously injured. He could no longer continue to race. Later, he became a stunt motorcyclist, and during a stunt shoot, his whole body was burning with flames and he and his beloved car flew into a helicopter."

"I found a photo of the racer and compared it to a photo. I found that the topaz you mentioned was the pendant he always wore, which was later collected by his parents. His parents are very rich and they are the owners of the villa. So he was not short of money at all, and he didn't need to be a stunt double. It is very likely that even the incident that year was intentional on his own. He just didn't want to live anymore. This is also a common saying on the Internet."

Sha Chu also sent the photo of the racing driver to Li Xiu. The photo was very clear, showing a handsome black-haired young man sitting on a motorcycle, holding his helmet with one hand and pulling the necklace around his neck with the other hand, kissing the yellow gem pendant on it.

When Li Xiu saw the appearance of the gem, he thought it should be the Imperial Topaz that he bought.

"What a pity." Li Xiu hung up the phone, and became more certain in his heart that those gems that gave birth to evil spirits were probably related to humans.

"Li Xiu, I'm back. I'm just outside the City Lord's Mansion." Li Xiu was thinking about the relationship between humans, gems and evil spirits when Chu Jun sent him the message.

Li Xiu was still feeling some pain in his body, so he made a phone call and asked someone to let Chu Jun in.

"You really dare..." When Chu Jun saw Li Xiu, he kept looking at him with surprise on his face.

"What is there for me to be afraid of?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Don't you know that the Lord of Chongshan City is the brother-in-law of the Lord of Hongsha City? Although the Lord of Hongsha City is famous for his lust, he is very afraid of his original wife. Now that you have killed his brother-in-law, do you think the wife of the Lord of Hongsha City will let you go?" Chu Jun said.

"Then let him come." Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and felt that this Chu Jun was also interesting.

He made the matter sound so serious, but he still came back and asked Li Xiu to keep a position for him in the City Lord's Mansion.

"I heard that you are a magic armor master, and you killed the S-level magic armor master Black Mist who was sent by the Lord of Red Sand City to protect him?" Chu Jun asked again.

"Yes." Li Xiu nodded.

"You are an S-level magic armor master, and you come here to be a trial-taker?" Chu Jun stared at Li Xiu and said.

"I think trial-takers have a better future," Li Zheng said calmly.

"Really?" Chu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this true? Otherwise, why would I come to be a trial-taker?" Li Xiu really thinks so now.

When a trial-taker grows to a certain level, he can undoubtedly be comparable to a magic armor master, or even surpass him.

Just like the demigod Setsuna in Li Xiu's hands, if he can grow to S-level, his combat power will definitely not be worse than that of an S-level magician, and may even be much stronger.

Because on Earth, Li Xiu had never seen a high-quality S-level magic spirit, and he could not predict how strong the demigod would be after being promoted to S-level.

However, when Li Xiu said that trial-takers have a better future than magic armor masters, he was referring to the current magic armor masters.

The trial participants are growing, and the technology of magic equipment is also being updated. It is hard to say who will be stronger in the end.

The materials used to make magic armor nowadays are mostly ordinary magic cores and materials from ordinary magic spirits.

What if we use the magic core and materials of S-level Radiant Elves to create a magic suit? What if Ximen Guan can really create a magic suit that can enter the trial field?

All of this is unknown. Li Xiu feels that if that day really comes, there is no doubt that the top trial-takers who can use magic armor will be stronger.

Li Xiu's path as a magic costumer is no longer viable, but there is still a lot of room for him to move forward as a trial-taker, and he has decided to continue on this path.

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Chu Jun let out a long sigh, as if something in his heart was relieved.

"Li Xiu, thank you so much." Chu Jun said with a strange look, "I have dreamed of becoming a magic armor master since I was a child, but reality gave me the cruelest blow. I don't have the talent of a magic armor master. So I can only settle for the second best and become a trialist. But I am unwilling, really unwilling. Even a real trialist is far inferior to a magic armor master."

"I have always believed that the power of technology will always be superior to pure strength. I used to often dream that I suddenly had the talent of a magic costume master. Maybe one day, I can become a magic costume master too."

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Before today, I really couldn't let it go, but now I have let it go. Even a magic armor master like you said that a trialist may be stronger than a magic armor master. So even if I risk my life in the future, I must become the strongest trialist, a trialist stronger than a magic armor master."

"Why do you want to become a magic costume master so much?" Li Xiu asked.

Li Xiu originally thought that Chu Jun would say something like he wanted to be a hero who saved the world, or that he wanted to be respected and so on.

Who knew that Chu Jun only said: "My grandfather is Chu Sanhu."

"Then what?" Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and asked.

Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu in confusion, thinking that Li Xiu didn't hear what he said clearly, so he said it again: "My grandfather is Chu Sanhu."

"I heard it. I know your grandfather is Chu Sanhu. Does this have anything to do with your desire to become a magic costume master?" Li Xiu said.

"Aren't you a magic costume master? Haven't you heard of the name Chu Sanhu?" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu and asked with a strange expression.

"I've heard that the magic costume master who was once ranked number one in the world has retired for a long time, right? Does this have anything to do with your desire to become a magic costume master?" Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.

He had heard of Chu Sanhu's name, a very old magic armor master, probably about the same age as Ximen Guan, the first generation king of magic armor masters.

"Okay, I thought too much." Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Since my grandfather, my family has been full of top magic costume masters. In my generation, there are so many young people in the family, but I am the only one who does not have the talent of a magic costume master." Chu Jun said with a smile: "I was very desperate at first, but now I suddenly feel that this doesn't seem to be a big deal."

"It's not a big deal. A magic costumer is just a profession, nothing special." Li Xiu said.

"How dare you say that? It's inappropriate for you to say that. Among all the magic masters now, the only one who is qualified to say this is the God." Chu Jun said.

"He's not a real God, he's just a human being. If he can say it, then of course I can say it too." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"He is not an ordinary person. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to magic armor, our Chu family considers ourselves second. Before God, no one dares to claim to be first. The ranking of our Chu family's magic armor masters has never fallen out of the top five in the world. This has been the case for many generations of magic armor masters for decades. Even if someone occasionally replaces our Chu family and becomes the number one, most of them are just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later the position will be taken back by our Chu family. But since the appearance of God, the magic armor masters in our family are almost going crazy. They study God all day long and are almost obsessed. Even so, up to now, no one dares to challenge God for the world's number one. They are afraid."

"For decades, who have the Chu family's magic-clad masters ever feared? But they are afraid of God and don't even dare to challenge him." Chu Jun laughed and said, "I should thank God. If he hadn't suppressed the magic-clad masters in our family, they would look down on me as a trial-taker even more."

"The path of the trial-taker is not easy either." Li Xiu said.

"You have to go even if it's not easy. Even an S-class magician like you is willing to sacrifice his life, so how can I give up so easily?" Chu Jun said in high spirits, "Arrange a position for me in the City Lord's Mansion. As long as I am here and the Chu family is still here, I guarantee that the Lord of Hongsha City will not dare to touch Chongshan City."

"Okay, then you will be responsible for matters related to the Trial Gate. I'll let A Fei take you through the procedures, and then you can sort out all the information about the Trial Gate." Li Xiu did not refuse.

"Just leave it to me. Do you want to enter the S-level dark maze?" Chu Jun realized something and asked Li Xiu.

"Yes, I plan to go the day after tomorrow." Li Xiu nodded.

"Count me in." Chu Jun said in high spirits.

"You?" Li Xiu looked Chu Jun up and down.

"Don't underestimate me. Although I don't have as many magic spirits as you, magic spirits cannot be used in the trial field. No matter how many magic spirits you have, they will be useless." Chu Jun said.

"Then tell me, what role do you play in the dark maze?" Although Li Xiu was confident that he could pass the S-level dark maze, no one could guarantee that there would be no accidents.

The trial is not a game of house, and you can’t bring just anyone in.

"I have the E Night Eyes talent, which allows me to see in the dark. It's a reward I got in the Brave Trial Field before." Chu Jun said proudly.

"That's right, and then what?" Li Xiu's disapproving expression betrayed his true thoughts.

"Isn't this enough?" Chu Jun asked somewhat unhappily.

“To be honest, among the people who went in with me this time, the weakest one has the talent of night vision, and there is another who can completely ignore the darkness.” Li Xiu told the truth.

"Is that so?" Chu Jun lost his temper immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "I still have an S-level skill, but it may be useless."

"S-level skills? You have S-level skills?" Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun in surprise.

"I passed the S-level trial by chance in a trial field before and obtained the skills. However, this skill has some limitations and is useless most of the time." Chu Jun said hesitantly.

“Tell me about it.” Li Xiu really wanted to know if there were any S-level skills that were useless.

"My S-level skill is called Inspiration. It can sense the location of the monster, as well as its name, level and other information..." Chu Jun's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He also knew that this ability was of no use in the trial field.

"What's your perception range?" Li Xiu didn't think so.

Inspiration is useless in the trial field, but it is very useful in the trial land.

The trial ground is mysterious and unpredictable. In a place like the Black Death City, Li Xiu didn't even dare to open the city gate because he didn't know what was outside.

It’s different for Chu Jun who possesses the inspiration skill. With the inspiration skill, he can know whether there are any evil spirits outside the city gate and what level of evil spirits they are.

This skill is equivalent to a natural radar. How could such a skill be useless?

Of course, that's really useless in the trial field.

"How is your physical fitness?" Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and asked.

He felt that Chu Jun's physical fitness might not be as good as his. If he couldn't run as fast as him, he couldn't carry Chu Jun, a burden.

Although Li Xiu wanted to take Chu Jun to the Black Death City, that depended on Chu Jun's own ability. Li Xiu's minimum standard was that Chu Jun had to run faster than him and not fall behind.

"My physical fitness has reached the upper limit of E level, and I am just one step away from being promoted to D level." Chu Jun said.

Li Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Jun to be so strong.

Li Xiu already knew from Sha Chu that there was actually an upper limit to the enhancement of the trial.

When strengthening, if you don't feel anything after the Trial Bracelet injects energy, it proves that your body has reached the upper limit of this level of strengthening.

At this time, you must break through to the next level before you can continue to strengthen.

Sha Chu did not explain in detail how to break through to the next level, and Li Xiu did not ask.

Because there is no need to ask this question, he will naturally know it after he becomes a real trial-taker.

The reason why Li Xiu decided to wait until after the S-level trial before going to the Haitian Trial Field is because he could still feel it during the strengthening process, and his physical strengthening had not yet reached its current limit.

If he lacks the strength to lift the blood-marked revolver, then he would have wasted his opportunity.

Chu Jun was a true trial-taker. Li Xiu knew this before, but his handsome appearance was a bit deceptive. Li Xiu always felt that his physical fitness was not good enough.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jun's physical fitness has reached the peak of E-level. He is definitely stronger than Li Xiu. After all, Li Xiu has not officially become a trial-taker yet. Theoretically, he is not even an E-level trial-taker.

"Okay, you'll be included, but you have to find a way to get a trial badge. I plan to take you into the trial ground after you pass the trial field." Li Xiu said.

"Are you going to the trial site?" Chu Jun's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the trial badges. How many people do you need?"

"Including you, there are four of us this time." Li Xiu originally just asked him to prepare his own trial badge, but he didn't expect Chu Jun to be so wealthy.

"No problem, leave it to me, there will be no problem." Chu Jun said, patting his chest.

"I have a question for you." Li Xiu stopped Chu Jun who was about to leave.

"What's the problem?" Chu Jun turned around and asked.

"Before, you played basketball with Zhou Bailong for a few gems. You must be short of money, right?" Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

What he actually wanted to ask was, Chu Jun was born in such a family, but he didn't have the talent of a magician, so he must be ignored or even bullied.

Li Xiu thought of those well-known melodramatic plots, where the eldest son is a genius, while the younger son is not talented and is despised. The parents treat the boys like servants and do not pay them.

The poor younger son ate the older son's leftovers, wore the older son's clothes, and did dirty and tiring work every day like Cinderella, looking pitiful. Even the servants in the house could bully him.

"I'm not short of money, I just want to earn money through my own efforts and don't want to use my family's money. Not many people in the Southern Cross Federation know that I'm a member of the Chu family, and Zhou Bailong doesn't know either." Chu Jun said.

"Then where are you going to get the trial badges?" Li Xiu thought about Chu Jun's situation. It didn't seem appropriate for him to pay for the trial badges for the four of them.

"You are talking about the trial badges. My mother is afraid that I might get into an accident, so she insists that I use the trial badges to take the trials. When you enter the trial field, you can use the trial badges to get a trial level that suits you. It can be used in ordinary trial fields, but the brave trial field is a bit weird, and you can't get a trial level using the trial badges, so I go there less often." Chu Jun said.

"You mean, you often use trial badges to increase the difficulty of trials?" Li Xiu asked.

"I've used it every time before. Only by choosing a trial difficulty that suits you can you grow the fastest." Chu Jun said as a matter of course.

Li Xiu now finally understood what it meant to be wealthy. He only felt that he had no shortage of money before, but Chu Qun really had no shortage of money.

"Okay, go back and prepare." Li Xiu waved his hand and approved Chu Jun to go back and prepare the trial badge.

After resting for two days, Li Xiu’s previous injury healed and he is in good physical condition.

He called A Fei, Ye Yuzhen and Chu Jun and went to the gate of the Brave Trial Field together.

Sha Chu had no intention of taking the risk from the beginning. She didn't like this kind of attempt that she was completely unsure of.

Li Xiu handed the black crystal to Ye Yuzhen and asked him to embed the black crystal on the door.

Amidst the black light, the gate to the Brave Trial Field burst open.
