"Technology is about discovering rules and applying them, and the trial-takers are also about discovering rules and applying them. I think these things of the trial-takers are also science, but they are just different from the system of the magic outfit masters." Li Xiu said.

"There is no comparison between your so-called technology and that of the magic outfit master. Even if the things of the trial-takers are also technology, they are not as valuable as the technology of the magic outfit master. Can the technology used for fitness be the same as the technology used to make destructive weapons? Can the garbage cleaner in the kitchen be compared with a spaceship?" Uncle Chu said lightly.

“We’ll know if they are comparable if we try it,” said Li Xiu.

"How to try? Do you want to duel with the magic armor master?" Uncle Chu curled his lips and said sarcastically.

"If you want, you can." Li Xiu nodded.

"You want to duel with me? Do you know who I am?" Uncle Chu was so angry that he laughed.

Li Xiu actually wanted to duel with him. Not only was he an S-level magic armor master, he had also once been among the top three in the world. Although his ranking was not that high now, he was still a first-rate magic armor master.

Li Xiu, the trial-taker, actually wanted to challenge him, which was a joke to Second Uncle Chu.

"Who are you? Does it have anything to do with me trying to prove that magic armor masters and trial-takers are of equal status?" Li Xiu pretended not to notice Chu Jun who had been winking at him, and said lightly while looking at Second Uncle Chu.

"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence, but blind confidence is arrogance. If you want to challenge me, you should practice hard for a few more decades." Uncle Chu no longer wanted to pay attention to Li Xiu. It's not like he had never seen a real trial-taker before.

The Chu family has an A-level trialist, who should be the top figure among the trialists, but in his eyes, the A-level trialist is shit.

"Uncle, are you afraid of losing, or do you not want Chu Jun to stay?" Li Xiu said.

This sentence made Second Uncle Chu a little angry. He turned to look at Li Xiu and said coldly: "For Xiaojun's sake, I didn't want to bother with you. Since you want to be hit so much, then I will fulfill your wish. Chu Yun, let him know what a magic costume master is."

"Yes, Second Uncle." A young man from the Chu family came over, looked at Li Xiu and said, "Let me play with you."

"It's not convenient here, let's go to another place." Li Xiu said.

The group left the city gate and came to a remote and deserted place nearby. Chu Yun took the magic suit box, took out the magic suit and put it on himself.

His magic suit is an A-grade Cold-Eyed Swordsman suit, a very classic A-grade magic suit produced by White Night City, a magic suit that is particularly suitable for close combat.

"Can you do it? The magic costume masters in our family are very powerful. That Chu Yun is one of the top three guys in the younger generation. He is very difficult to deal with." Chu Jun followed Li Xiu and asked in a low voice.

"It should be fine." Li Xiu replied with a smile.

"Are you going to use the magic spirit?" Chu Jun asked again.

"It depends on the situation." Li Xiu answered casually.

"How do you want to compete?" Chu Yun on the other side was already a little impatient.

"That's enough." Li Xiu walked over and said.

"Don't worry, you are my brother's friend, I won't really hurt you." Chu Yun said seriously.

Li Xiu thought to himself, "What a silly child! I was just afraid that you would get hurt."

"Do you want to summon the demon spirit? I can wait for you." Chu Yun also knew about the existence of demon spirits.

Li Xiu sighed secretly. He had been receiving training as a magic armor master and had little contact with the outside world. Otherwise, he should have known about the trial-takers and the evil spirits long ago.

"No need, I will naturally summon the demon spirit when needed." Li Xiu didn't want to bully the child, so he didn't take the initiative to attack.

But Chu Yun was impatient: "Then use your contract quickly, don't waste time."

"Since you asked me to do so, I will use it." Li Xiu drew out the Fire Lotus Sword. Now the Fire Lotus Sword was no longer a burden and it was quite flexible to use.

"What are you standing there for? Hit me!" Chu Yun looked at Li Xiu standing there motionless with the sword in his hand, and urged him unhurriedly.

"Let me make the first move?" Li Xiu asked with a strange look on his face.

"Of course I let you make the first move. If I make the first move, you won't have a chance to attack." Chu Yun said confidently.

"Okay." Li Xiu didn't want to waste time, so he walked over holding the Fire Lotus Sword.

"You should walk faster." A flash of magic light appeared in Chu Yun's hand, and a sword-shaped magic light blade was condensed, urging Li Xiu again.

He saw Li Xiu walking towards him slowly, and there was no atmosphere of fighting at all.

"Young man, don't be too impatient. Relax yourself first so that you can burst out your power better." Li Xiu said as he walked in front of Chu Yun and suddenly shook the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand.

Although the Fire Lotus Sword was standing straight, it was actually a soft sword. When Li Xiu shook it, the sword body suddenly twisted and trembled, and stabbed towards Chu Yun like a phantom.

"Come on!" Chu Yun shouted, and the lightsaber in his hand slashed directly at Li Xiu.

His speed was much faster than Li Xiu's, and the lightsaber flashed in front of Li Xiu.

When his lightsaber just moved, Li Xiu had already moved in advance. When the lightsaber chopped down, he just dodged the lightsaber and got in front of Chu Yun, with the Fire Lotus Sword pointing at his neck.

According to what Li Xiu said about stopping at that point, Chu Yun should have been considered a loser at this time.

But Chu Yun didn't understand it that way. He felt that he was wearing a magic costume and Li Xiu's sword couldn't pierce it at all. It posed no threat to him, so naturally there was no winner.

The magic light patterns on his body burst out again, and he moved quickly, while slashing the lightsaber towards Li Xiu.

Li Xiu moved while drawing his sword. After dodging Chu Yun's attack, he pointed the tip of the sword at him again.

Chu Yun still ignored him and attacked again.

The two men fought in close combat. Li Xiu moved gracefully, always able to dodge Chu Yun's attacks by a hair's breadth, with the tip of his sword pointing at Chu Yun every time.

Uncle Chu didn't take Li Xiu seriously at first, but after watching him for a while, his expression gradually became serious.

Unlike Chu Yun, Second Uncle Chu is a man who has experienced many battles and his understanding of magic equipment is far greater than Chu Yun.

At first he was just a little surprised at Li Xiu's close combat skills. Despite being behind in speed and strength, he was able to dodge attacks and counterattack so easily. Such skills and combat experience were far beyond the reach of a young man like Chu Yun.

But what really surprised Second Uncle Chu was that every time Li Xiu pointed his sword, it was at the connection parts of the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint's magic armor. Those connection parts naturally could not be as hard as the shell. If Li Xiu really stabbed down, he might really be able to damage Chu Yun's magic armor.

In front of Li Xiu, Chu Yun was like a baby who had just learned to walk. Even if he had a gun in his hand, it was just a decoration and would not be of any use.

"Chu Yun, step back." Uncle Chu stopped Chu Yun from continuing the attack.

"What are you doing, Uncle? I haven't even defeated him yet." Chu Yun said in confusion.

"That's enough. Stop embarrassing yourself." Uncle Chu asked Chu Yun to step back.

Seeing Chu Yun's unconvinced look, Uncle Chu said nothing now. Even if he wanted to educate Chu Yun, he would have to wait until he returned. He could not teach him in front of outsiders.

"You are very strong in close combat and have rich experience. You also have some understanding of the magic equipment in our White Night City. But if you are not given the opportunity for close combat, what can you do?" Uncle Chu looked at Li Xiu and said, but there was no contempt in his eyes.

"That's a bit troublesome. I'm just an E-level trial-taker now, and I don't have any long-range attack methods." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

Uncle Chu was very proud, thinking he had found Li Xiu's weakness, and was about to teach him a lesson, but Li Xiu continued, "If I can't fight in close combat, then I'll have to use the magic spirit. This shouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

"Well, of course not." Uncle Chu said after a moment of silence.

"Then can Mr. Chu stay?" Li Xiu asked.

"If you can get past me, I'll let him stay." Uncle Chu said, and walked to Chu Yun, asking him to give him the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint Magic Armor. While activating the magic armor, he said to Chu Yun, "Watch carefully how to operate the real Cold-Eyed Magic Armor. Don't just use brute force. Controlling the magic armor requires skills."

Second Uncle Chu intends to use this opportunity to teach these young people in the Chu family a good lesson.

Chu Yun and other young magic costume masters of the Chu family were watching from the side, feeling somewhat excited. Second Uncle Chu had seldom used magic costumes to fight in recent years, and they all wanted to catch a glimpse of the magic costume master who was ranked third in the world at that time.

"You are Xiaojun's friend, and I don't want to hurt you, so there is no need to use long-range attacks. I will give you a chance for close combat." Uncle Chu walked up to Li Xiu and said.

"Shall we stop here?" Li Xiu asked Uncle Chu.

"That's right." Second Uncle Chu condensed a light blade, pointed at Li Xiu and said, "Use all your abilities, or you will regret it if you lose."

"This blood relationship is definitely true. As expected, they all have the surname Chu and their personalities are similar." Li Xiu secretly complained in his heart. This guy's personality is not much better than Chu Yun.

He moved quickly and stabbed at Uncle Chu with his sword.

"Watch carefully, this is how the Cold-Eyed Sword Master truly operates." Uncle Chu said in a deep voice. White light patterns appeared on the Cold-Eyed Sword Master's body, and then his body moved like a phantom, so fast that it left a phantom on the spot.

While moving quickly, Uncle Chu swung out his lightsaber, and the direction of the lightsaber was exactly the same as the direction of his body's movement, which increased the speed of the lightsaber and increased its force.

Li Xiu secretly activated his blood boiling and super stimulation, and his speed suddenly increased, and he passed by Uncle Chu.

"Eh!" Uncle Chu's lightsaber missed, and then he discovered that Li Xiu's Fire Lotus Sword was pointing at the back of his neck.

Uncle Chu's body froze for a moment, but luckily he was wearing a magic costume and his face couldn't be seen, otherwise people would have seen his red old face full of embarrassment.

The young people in the Chu family stared at Uncle Chu in a daze, not knowing what was going on. But Mr. Chu was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter.

"This sword didn't hit the vital point, so it doesn't count. Let's try again?" Li Xiu put away the sword and said to Uncle Chu.

Second Uncle Chu said nothing. Originally, he wanted to retain some of the power of the Cold-Eyed Sword Master and not use it to his limit.

Now it seems that I can no longer hold back my strength and I must pick up the face I just lost.

With a cold light flashing, Uncle Chu approached Li Xiu like a ghost, and slashed quickly with the lightsaber in his hand, leaving an afterimage along the way.

Li Xiu knew too much about magic equipment, and Uncle Chu's control skills were still very good, but it was a pity that he did not choose the right opponent.

This kind of close combat is actually very disadvantageous to the magic armor master.

The opponents of a magic armor master are usually demon spirits, which are generally much larger than humans. Especially high-level demon spirits, many of which are tens of meters tall, and some can even reach heights of hundreds of meters.

Compared with those evil spirits, the magic armor master can be said to be petite and flexible, and is also relatively agile in close combat.

However, no matter how flexible the magic suit is, it is not your own body after all, and it is difficult to control it as if you were using your fingers or arms.

This kind of delicate close combat operation can truly be achieved as if it were controlling one's own body. Magic armor masters who can fight so agilely can be said to be rare.

Uncle Chu has done a very good job, but it is still not delicate enough.

Li Xiu engaged in close combat, and although his speed was not as fast as his opponent, he took advantage of the brief delay in controlling his magic suit and dodged his lightsaber, with the tip of the sword pointing at him again.

"Continue?" Li Xiu put away his sword and stepped back, looking at Uncle Chu and said.

"You win." Uncle Chu shook his head and turned to walk towards the Chu family.

Chu Jun wanted to cheer, but when he saw his second uncle Chu's lonely Beijing Film Academy, his happy mood was dashed.

"Second Uncle..."

Chu Jun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his second uncle Chu: "The Chu family has never been afraid of failure. Losing is losing, there is no excuse. But my loss does not mean that the Chu family's magic equipment is not good, nor does it mean that the magic equipment master is not as good as the trial-taker. It's just that I, the magic equipment master, am not good. I have already lost. It's up to you to choose where you want to go, but you have to think clearly about what is most important to you."

Uncle Chu said this and left with the Chu family.

Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu, and Li Xiu said calmly: "Why are you looking at me? If you want to go back, go back. I don't care."

Chu Jun looked at the direction where the Chu family left, gritted his teeth and said, "I finally found hope in life, how can I go back like this."

After that, Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu and said, "It's strange. Why haven't I seen other trialists so strong? How come you are so strong? You are not an E-level trialist yet, right? How did you do it just now?"

"I can teach you, but I'm afraid you can't bear the hardship." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"I am not afraid of hardship. If I were really afraid of hardship, I would not leave the Chu family." Chu Jun stared at Li Xiu for a long time, and suddenly said: "How about I take you as my master, and you teach me the fighting skills of those trialists?"

“You don’t need to become my disciple, just pay the money.” Li Xiu smiled.

"Are you so short of money?" Chu Jun said, rolling his eyes.

"I am short of money, very short of it. But you used a lot of gems to help open the Gate of Purgatory, so just consider it as your tuition." Li Xiu was indeed short of money.

Researching and manufacturing magic equipment is very expensive, and the magic spirits on his body are also very expensive. Which of those magic spirits upgrades costs money?

Li Xiu decided to go to the trial field to improve his physical fitness, and by the way, go to the Haitian trial field to get back the blood-patterned revolver.

The evil spirit card doesn't have any attack skills, and it seems that it can't be used as a weapon under normal circumstances. It is still necessary to get a decent symbiotic contract as soon as possible.

After Li Xiu and Chu Jun entered the city, the staff of Hongsha City sent them to their residence. Not long after they rested, the Lord of Hongsha City sent someone to invite him to a banquet.

"Let me go with you." Chu Jun was a little worried that the Lord of Hongsha City would do something bad to Li Xiu.

"No need, wait for me to come back." Li Xiu picked up the Ghost Mask Demon Costume. If the Lord of Red Sand City really wanted to do something to him at the banquet, it would not be certain who would need to be careful at that time.

Li Xiu was taken to the City Lord's Mansion. When he entered the Mansion, no one searched him, nor did he ask him to hand over his backpack.

Because Li Xiu was a trial-taker, in the eyes of the Lord of Red Sand City, a body search would be of no use to him.

It didn't look like the backpack could hold the magic suit, so there was no forced body search. This was also a signal of goodwill from the Lord of Red Sand City.

"It seems that today's meal is not the Hongmen Banquet." Li Xiu said to himself.

After arriving at the restaurant, Li Xiu saw the skinny old man. His frail appearance made it hard to associate him with the most powerful man in the Southern Cross Federation.

"Please take a seat." The Lord of Red Sand City pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile.

Li Xiu didn't hesitate and sat down on the chair. Immediately, a beautiful maid came forward to serve him.

Li Xiu didn't need to do anything himself, such as pouring tea, wine, or even picking up dishes.

As long as Li Xiu gave a look, the maid beside him would put the dishes on the plate in front of him, and even remove fish bones and chicken bones for him.

"Congratulations on coming back alive from the Gate of Purgatory. You are the first person to come out of there intact." The Lord of Red Sand City raised his glass.

"I would also like to thank the city lord for his generosity." Li Xiu also raised his wine glass, gestured slightly, and took a sip.

"It's not about being magnanimous. If someone with no ability did those things, he would have died long ago. It's not my turn to be magnanimous." The Lord of Red Sand City said with a smile: "You are alive because of your ability. You can sit here and eat with me because you are capable enough. These are your own achievements and have nothing to do with anyone else."

"The city lord is an interesting person." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Since we have a good impression of each other, are you interested in cooperating with me?" The Lord of Hongsha City said, putting down his wine glass.

"How do we cooperate?" Li Xiu knew the real show was about to begin.

"Did Zhou Bailong ask you to help him play golf before?" The words of the Lord of Hongsha City made Li Xiu slightly stunned.

He originally thought that the Lord of Red Sand City would talk about the Gate of Purgatory or Chongshan City, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.

"Yes, but he already has a new candidate and doesn't need me anymore." Li Xiu replied.

"He doesn't need you, but I do. Are you willing to do me this favor?" The Lord of Red Sand City said with a smile, "Of course, I won't ask you to help me for nothing. Don't you want to enter the Trial Gate? I have more Trial Gates than Zhou Bailong. As long as you help me win the golf match, you can use all of my Trial Gates, including the Purgatory Gate, at will. And Chongshan City will belong to you from now on, and I can also make Chongshan City a member of the Southern Cross Federation."

"With such generous conditions, I don't think I have any reason to refuse, but I want to take a look at the information about the trial field first." Li Xiu changed the subject and continued, "Is the trial gate so important to you, the city lord?"

"The Trial Gate is not important, but I must win this duel." The Lord of Hongsha City asked someone to bring the information and put it in front of Li Xiu.

"It seems that I can't lose this duel." After looking through the information, Li Xiu looked up at the Lord of Hongsha City and said.

"If you lose, you won't be able to leave the trial field." The Lord of Red Sand City laughed.

"Then let's celebrate our victory." Li Xiu raised his glass.

"I like you more and more." The Lord of Hongsha City smiled and clinked glasses with Li Xiu, then drank the wine in the glass.
