There was only a card the size of a poker card on the table. The card stood upright on the stone table without any support.

The cards are black with red patterns on one side and blue patterns on the other.

The red pattern is a red human figure, and the blue pattern is a blue human figure.

The movements of these two human figures are the same, and the lines outline a simple human body shape with blood vessel-like lines distributed inside.

It’s just that the intricate lines inside are slightly different, and one is red and the other is blue.

"What is this?" Li Xiu looked at the card with some confusion, not knowing what type of contract it was.

However, there was not much time, and Li Xiu did not have time to think carefully. He reached out and grabbed the card, wanting to pick it up first.

He jumped directly onto the table, bent down, grasped the cards with both hands, and pulled them up with all his strength like pulling a carrot.

The cards standing on the stone table did not move at all, which surprised Li Xiu a little.

His physical fitness is now much better than before. Even without using any skills, his physical fitness can reach the level when he was holding the blood-marked revolver and shooting. However, he couldn't even make this card move at all. It can be seen that this card is much heavier than the blood-marked revolver.

Without any hesitation, Li Xiu activated the S-level blood boiling. He held the card and gritted his teeth, continuing to pull it up. However, there was still no reaction. The card was terribly heavy.

It was extremely stimulating and was used without hesitation. With the double blessing, Li Xiu's physical fitness was greatly improved. The fingers holding the cards were almost deformed, and the flesh on his cheeks was trembling due to excessive force.

He felt that the card seemed to move, but it did not leave the table, as if there was a strong magnet under the card, sucking it.

Li Xiu's teeth were almost broken, and the cards only slid a distance on the table and never left the table.

Li Xiu loosened his hands and took a deep breath slowly. The excitement just now made his scalp numb.

"My physical fitness has reached the limit before I became a trial-taker, and I still can't lift it. Does this mean that only those who have become true trial-taker can lift this contract?" Li Xiu was unwilling to give up. He pulled out the Fire Lotus Sword from his waist, cut a line on his finger, and then dripped blood on the card.

When he went to pick up the blood-marked revolver last time, his blood dripped on it, and he felt that the weight of the blood-marked revolver seemed to have become lighter. Maybe it would be useful for this card as well.

After the blood dripped onto the card, it immediately disappeared, and the red and blue lines on the card seemed to become brighter.

Seeing this, Li Xiu tried again and felt that it seemed a little lighter, but he still couldn't lift it.

So Li Xiu made up his mind, cut his palm and smeared the blood on the card, then pinched the card with both hands again and pulled it upwards with all his strength.

The card slowly left the table, and the red and blue lines on both sides lit up at the same time, making it look like two transparent people with red and blue lights flashing inside their bodies.

Before Li Xiu could react, the red light and blue light on the card flowed into Li Xiu's left and right hands respectively, and the cards in his hands disappeared.

Li Xiu only felt a burning sensation flowing along his left hand into his body, making Li Xiu feel like he was being burned by fire.

At the same time, a chill flowed along his right arm to his body, making Li Xiu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar that had existed for eternity.

The two energies each flowed their own paths within the body, allowing Li Xiu to experience the feeling of the nine levels of ice and fire.

Finally, the forces of ice and fire surged into his heart at the same time, and then everything disappeared. At the same time, a stream of information also poured into Li Xiu's brain.

Li Xiu: Trialist.

Grade: E.

Original embryo quality:1.

Symbiotic Contract: Evil Spirit Card (Glorious E-level).

Symbiotic Talent: Twins in One Body.

Parasitic Contract: Fire Lotus Sword (Shining E-level), Dark Mirror (Brilliant E-level).

Trial skills: Blood boiling (E) Blood boiling (S) Fly eyes (C) Super stimulation (S) Dark curse (E level) Black death pupil (E level can grow)

Trial Talents: Ice Heart (S), Night Eyes (E), Heart (A), Immortality (B level can be grown), Undoubtedness (D level can be grown).

Monsters: Demigod Setsuna (Glorious E-rank), Cupid Shooter (Brilliant E-rank), Pink Nightmare (Shining B-rank), Jedi Knight (C-rank), Masked Emperor (Brilliant D-rank), etc.

At this moment, Li Xiu already had the answers to many things that he didn’t understand before.

Before obtaining the symbiotic contract, you are not a trial-taker and are not even qualified to undergo training. Only after becoming a trial-taker can your body be called an embryo, which probably means original material.

Constantly tempering the embryo during the trial is like tempering steel, making your body stronger and stronger. This is the path that the trial-taker should take.

If you want to improve the quality of the embryo, roughly the physical fitness, there are two ways to go. One is to improve physical fitness through the trial field, and the other is to improve your own abilities and the abilities of the symbiotic contract.

How to improve the ability of the symbiotic contract depends on what the symbiotic talent is.

Different contracts have different talents, so the quality and level of improvement are also slightly different, but they all probably rely on energy.

There are probably only a few things that can provide energy to the symbiotic contract, such as magic cores, gems, etc. It depends on which one the symbiotic contract needs.

Li Xiu’s symbiotic contract is called the Evil Spirit Card, and his symbiotic talent is twins. This talent is now a talent shared by Li Xiu and the Evil Spirit Card.

In other words, what kind of things the evil spirit card needs to upgrade its level is what he also needs to upgrade his level, and the energy of both people is common, so it doesn't matter who absorbs it.

After Li Xiu studied the talent of twins, his expression became strange.

Li Xiu originally thought that the evil spirit card would need rubies and sapphires to be upgraded, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The gift of twins does not require any gems to grow, but it does require another symbiotic contract.

A normal trial-taker can only have one symbiotic contract, but after possessing the talent of twins, Li Xiu can have another symbiotic contract. With the addition of the evil spirit card, he now has two symbiotic contracts.

However, the symbiotic contract of the Evil Spirit Card itself seems to be of no use. Apart from providing Li Xiu with the twin talents, it has no other abilities.

The growth of the evil spirit card is entirely dependent on another symbiotic contract and Li Xiu providing it with energy.

"Isn't this thing just a parasite?" Li Xiu felt like he was competing with the parasite.

Not only is there an evil spirit parasitizing his body, but now there is a parasitic Qi, plus the tablet of the god of death that is entangled with him. Li Xiu feels like he must have done a lot of evil in his past life, and these are all his creditors from that past life.

Fortunately, Li Xiu's twin talents allowed him to sign another symbiotic contract, which was a blessing in disguise.

Although I still have to go to other trial fields to find a contract, I am now finally a real trial-taker and can continue to improve my physical fitness.

What puzzled Li Xiu was why he completed the symbiotic contract directly after picking up the evil spirit card, but the voice did not prompt him or let him make a choice.

After becoming a true trial-taker, Li Xiu suddenly felt relaxed all over. The weight of the Dark Mirror and the Fire Lotus Sword on his body suddenly decreased to a level that he could easily control. They were no longer a burden to Li Xiu.

"Hey, shouldn't you send me to the trial ground?" Li Xiu shouted at the bronze lamp.

But the bronze lamp didn't react at all, which made Li Xiu a little confused. There was something weird about this place, and it was different from the places he had visited before.

Li Xiu reached out and grabbed the copper lamp. Although the copper lamp was heavy in his hand, it was still within the normal range. He held the copper lamp, walked around the stone table, and walked into the darkness ahead.

Bang!

After walking a few steps, I felt that I had bumped into something and almost broke my nose. Upon closer inspection, I found that there was a stone wall in front of me and there was no way leading to the trial site.

The light from the copper lamp seemed to be unable to illuminate at all. After Li Xiu threw it on the ground, the flame went out by itself.

Then Li Xiu felt a darkness in front of his eyes. When the light appeared again, he was already in front of the gate of Purgatory.

"You finally came out!" Chu Jun was overjoyed when he saw Li Xiu.

Li Xiu had been in there for more than three days, which was later than the other two people who came out before him. This scared Chu Jun.

He was just waiting here with a glimmer of hope, and he really waited for it.

"I'm fine, I was just delayed in there for a while." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"How is it? What's the situation in there? Can I go in and take a look?" Chu Jun saw that Li Xiu came out unharmed, neither crazy nor stupid, and he immediately became interested.

"It's best not to go in. I'll tell you in detail after we get back." Li Xiu shook his head and said as he saw that there were still soldiers guarding nearby.

Chu Jun knew that this was not the place to talk, so he pulled Li Xiu outside.

"You really scared me. It's been three days and no one has come out. I thought you wouldn't be able to come out either..." Chu Jun said as he walked.

Li Xiu turned his head and took a look at the tightly closed door of Purgatory. He felt indescribable weirdness. This trial field was indeed very strange, and it was different from the Haitian Trial Field.

When Li Xiu and Chu Jun walked out together, the soldiers and officers guarding the Gate of Purgatory looked at him strangely.

They had seen many people who entered the gate of purgatory and never came out, but few came out alive. Li Xiu was the only one who could walk out like a normal person.

The bus had been driven away by the official. He thought Li Xiu had died inside and had no patience to wait here, so he returned to Hongsha City first.

The officer found a jeep and asked a soldier to drive Li Xiu and Chu Jun back.

After the two men left, the officer quickly made a phone call.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with him?" An old man who looked a little skinny was sitting on the sofa, with a young woman kneeling at his feet serving him.

After listening to the officer's report, the old man's dim eyes gradually brightened.

"Yes, sir. I talked to him for a few minutes and he seemed perfectly normal," the officer replied quickly.

"Got it. Guard the gate of Purgatory and don't let anyone get close to it." The Lord of Red Sand City hung up the phone and muttered to himself, "How did he get out safely?"

"Sir, do you want to find a way to bring him back?" said the man guarding the Lord of Hongsha City.

"No need, go and arrange it. I want to treat him to a meal." The Lord of Hongsha City said lightly.

"Yes." The man responded, but he felt a little strange.

Based on his understanding of the Lord of Red Sand City, he did not expect that the Lord of Red Sand City would make such a decision.

Li Xiu first killed the brother-in-law of the City Lord of Hongsha and robbed Chongshan City. Later, he killed Cha Liang, the confidant of the City Lord of Hongsha, and together with Mu Yu, the personal guard sent by the City Lord's wife, he offended the City Lord of Hongsha to such an extent. Surprisingly, the City Lord of Hongsha did not want to kill him immediately. This was really not like the style of the City Lord of Hongsha.

Although Li Xiu has some relationship with the Chu family of Baiye City, he is not a member of the Chu family and has no common interests with the Chu family. It is impossible for the Chu family to protect him forever.

It seems unreasonable for the Lord of Hongsha City to leave him alone. He should at least take back Chongshan City.

"Could it be that the City Lord wants to take advantage of the banquet to attack him?" The man thought about it and felt that it was very likely. The Lord of Hongsha City would definitely do such a thing.

However, the timing seemed wrong. The people from the Chu family had not left yet, and it seemed inappropriate to attack Li Xiu in the City Lord's Mansion now.

The man couldn't figure out what the Lord of Hongsha City was trying to do, so he had to contact the Chu family first and ask them to arrange a meeting between Li Xiu and the Lord of Hongsha City.

Li Xiu and Chu Jun returned to Hongsha City. Just before they arrived at the city gate, Chu Jun asked the soldier to stop the car, got out of the car, walked up to a middle-aged man standing by the city gate and said, "Second Uncle, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, would you come to see me? I have helped you so much, and we are in Hongsha City together, but you don't even come to see me. How dare you call me your second uncle?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "I'm just afraid of delaying your serious work, Second Uncle."

"Don't give me that. Are you afraid that I will arrest you?" Uncle Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't it good to go home and inherit the family business? What can you achieve by making a fuss here?"

"We finally meet, uncle, can we talk about something else?" Chu Jun said helplessly.

"Okay, then let's talk about your friend." Uncle Chu said and looked at Li Xiu in the car.

Li Xiu had been sitting in the car and had not gotten out, which made Second Uncle Chu somewhat dissatisfied. Since he was Chu Jun's friend, he did not even come up to say hello when he saw his elder. He had no manners at all and the first impression was already not good.

Chu Jun saw that Second Uncle Chu was unhappy, so he quickly called Li Xiu down and introduced him, "Li Xiu, this is my Second Uncle, you can just call me Second Uncle. This time I was able to convince the Lord of Hongsha City, thanks to Second Uncle's help."

"Second uncle, thank you." Li Xiu said.

"You are quite good to have come out of the gate of purgatory alive." Uncle Chu said, then changed the subject: "But one person's strength is limited after all. What are your plans for the future?"

"Continue to participate in the trials and become a better trial-taker." Li Xiu replied.

"It's also a good way." Uncle Chu nodded, as if he had no interest in Li Xiu anymore. He said dully that the Lord of Hongsha City would host a banquet for you in the evening, and then pulled Chu Jun aside.

"In the future, have less contact with people like this." After walking away, Uncle Chu said to Chu Jun.

"Why?" Chu Jun asked puzzledly.

"He is walking on a single-plank bridge and is on the road of being a one-man enemy. You will inherit my Chu family's business in the future and be the future lord of Baiye City. Such a person will only be one of your thousands of subordinates. If you get close to him and are influenced by him, you will inevitably fall behind. How can you inherit the family business?" Uncle Chu continued with a serious face.

"Being a magic armor master is also a one-man showdown. All of our brothers, sisters and elders have taken that path, and they are not necessarily inferior." Chu Jun retorted.

"How can a magic armor master and a trial-taker be the same? Don't confuse the two. Since you don't have the talent of a magic armor master, you should study the way of the Lord and take control of White Night City in the future." Uncle Chu was displeased when he heard Chu Jun say that magic armor masters and trial-taker were the same kind of people.

"I don't think there is any difference. A true trial-taker is not necessarily worse than a magic armor master. Second uncle, you know that a true trial-taker is also very strong." Chu Jun said unconvinced.

Uncle Chu said coldly, "You are going astray. I'm afraid you are influenced by Li Xiu. Are trial-takers worthy of being compared with magic-equipped masters? Not to mention that real trial-takers can hardly match top-level magic-equipped masters. From the root, trial-takers will never be able to surpass magic-equipped masters."

"Why?" Chu Jun did not agree with his second uncle Chu's statement.

"The difference between humans and animals is that humans have wisdom. Do you think that no matter how powerful an animal is, it can defeat weapons made by humans? The power of technology will always be above physical strength. The same is true for magic armor masters and trial-takers. No matter how strong a trial-taker is, he is inferior in the root. It's a good thing that you want to improve your physical fitness, but you must not indulge in it. That is not your path." Uncle Chu said seriously.

Chu Jun wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of how to refute. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Come on, come back with me. After the transaction is completed, I will take you back to Baiye City. It's time for you to grow up and go back to do some real work." Uncle Chu used a commanding tone and did not allow Chu Jun to question it at all.

"Please wait a moment." When Chu Jun didn't know what to do, Li Xiu walked over from a distance and called out to his second uncle Chu.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Chu frowned slightly. He didn't want Chu Jun and Li Xiu to have any contact with each other again.

"I have very good hearing and accidentally overheard your conversation just now. Let me apologize first. Chu Jun calls you second uncle, so I also take the liberty to call you second uncle. I think the analogy you used just now is a bit inaccurate." Li Xiu walked over and said.

"Oh, what's inaccurate?" Uncle Chu stared at Li Xiu and asked.
