In the third round of the seven-to-four competition, one demon was going to have a bye. After a draw, Princess Fubuki was awarded a bye and was directly promoted to the semi-finals.

The Jedi Knight and the Black Death met in advance, and the Mechanical Skeleton was lucky to face the Black Death of the Bandit. If they were not drawn together, it is estimated that none of them would be able to advance to the top four.

The Thunder Wolf and the Rock Man were grouped together. This match should be considered the most realistic fight among the seven to four.

Sure enough, the first battle between the Thunder Wolf and the Rock Man was extremely fierce. The Thunder Wolf was fast and had strong attack power, while the Rock Man had thick skin and flesh and invincible defense. It was simply a battle between spear and shield.

At the end of the battle, both sides were almost defeated. The Rock Man actually restrained the Thunder Wolf with his low quality and was the first to advance to the top four.

Before the battle between the Mechanical Skeleton and the Black Death Demon started, Ye Yuzhen came to find Li Xiu, wanting to ensure that the Black Death Demon advanced to the top four. After all, the Black Death Demon was the signature of the City of Light, and the better the Black Death Demon's performance, the more beneficial it would be for the City of Light.

Li Xiu patted Ye Yuzhen on the shoulder and said, "Fight with all your strength. The City of Light does not need anyone to sacrifice. If you have the ability, you should gain something."

Ye Yuzhen nodded heavily, feeling more and more that his brother and sister's choice was absolutely correct.

The battle between the mechanical skeletons and the Black Death Demons was also quite fierce. Because Ye Yuzhen had often entered the Black Death City with A Fei to fight together recently, both sides knew each other very well and the battle was extremely exciting.

In the end, the A-level mechanical skeleton was still no match for the B-level black death demon of the bandit, mainly due to the difference in quality.

Ye Yuzhen’s mechanical skeleton is only of flowing color quality, two levels lower than the brilliant black death demon.

The final battle is between the Jedi Knights and the Dark Lord, and it is also the most anticipated battle among the seven to four.

In the end, is the Jedi Knight with single combat power stronger, or is the summoning type Black Death Lord stronger? Both sides have supporters and the argument was already in full swing before the war started.

"The Jedi Knight must be strong. He can destroy the S-level magic suit with one sword. Can the Black Death Demon King and his minions block his sword?"

"Do you know what it means to be overwhelmed by ants? Moreover, those summoned by the Dark Lord are all radiant spirits, much more powerful than tigers. No matter how strong the Jedi Knights are, they can never defeat four hands with two fists."

"Blow up the Jedi Knight, absolutely No. 1."

"The Black Death Demon King is cool, but a group of Shining Demons are simply perverts."

As the Magic Spirit Competition progresses, knowledge about Magic Spirits is becoming more and more popular, and most people already know the differences in the quality of Magic Spirits.

As the Jedi Knight and the Dark Lord entered the arena at the same time, the noisy stands became much quieter, and everyone was waiting for the battle to begin.

But the battle they were waiting for did not begin. Instead, the host Chu Jun walked to the center of the field, bowed deeply to the audience in the stands, and then said, "I'm really sorry. I know everyone is looking forward to this battle, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The Jedi Knight will choose to abstain."

"Why would the Jedi abstain?"

"Oh my god, is there any shady manipulation in this competition?"

"Protest, why should the Jedi Knight give up? He is the most powerful demon."

"Could it be that the Lord of the City of Light was under external pressure and had to give up his power?"

"I came here today just to watch the battle between the Jedi Knight and the Dark Lord. You told me that there is no fight... I want to refund the ticket..."

There was a sudden burst of booing from the audience stands, and someone took the lead in shouting for ticket refunds. The sound quickly spread, and soon the entire arena was filled with the sound of uniform and deafening ticket refunds.

There are all kinds of discussions and speculations on the Internet, all analyzing why the Jedi Knights would abstain. After all, that is the demon spirit of the Lord of the City of Light, so there should be no shady dealings.

Then the biggest possibility is that the Lord of the City of Light felt that the Jedi Knight was no match for the Lord of Black Death and did not want to lose too badly on the field, so he chose to forfeit and withdraw from the competition.

At this, the supporters of the Black Death Lord became excited and made comments in a proud manner.

"I told you, the Dark Lord is invincible. Look, even the Jedi Knights don't dare to fight him."

"The Black Death Demon King is indeed invincible. Can those radiant demon brothers stop him?"

"Directly persuade the Jedi Knights to retreat, I, the Great Black Death Devil, YYDS."

…

After everyone on the scene had shouted for a while, Chu Jun chose a node and continued, "Please be quiet. I will explain the reason why the Jedi Knight withdrew from the competition. There is also another piece of news to announce."

After everyone got quieter, Chu Jun continued, "To be honest, I also want to know who is stronger between the Jedi Knight and the Black Death Lord, and I have been looking forward to this battle, but there is really no way. This battle is destined to be unfair, and there is no way to fight fairly, because the Jedi Knight and the Black Death Lord are both contestants. If the two of them fight, it is like the left hand fighting the right hand. Do you think it can truly demonstrate their abilities?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar both inside and outside the venue.

"Oh shit, it turns out that the Jedi Knights and the Dark Lord of Death are both from the Lord of the City of Light!"

"Ah! I should have thought of it earlier. The Black Death Demon is a demon spirit produced by the City of Light. Such a powerful Black Death Demon King can only belong to the Lord of the City of Light."

"These two powerful demons are from the same person. The power of the Lord of the City of Light is unfathomable!"

"With two great demon spirits and such a powerful magic costume master, it's no wonder that the City of Light dares to hold the Demon Spirit Competition despite the world's disapproval."

"Haha, I am dying of laughter. The Lord of the City of Light wanted to win the championship with double insurance, but he ended up meeting his own demon spirit in advance. How miserable!"

"It's okay to beat yourself up. We love watching it."

"There's no need to fight two demons of one person. They're both being commanded by the same person. What's the point in fighting? One of them should really withdraw."

"No, why should the Jedi Knight give up? I want to watch the duel between the Jedi Knight and Princess Fubuki. Can we let the Black Death Lord give up?"

Chu Jun took the microphone and continued, "Because this is the first time we have held the Magic Spirit Contest, we lack experience, so this happened. I am really sorry. To express our apologies, we in the City of Light have prepared three talent gems, three skill rings, three magic spirit rings and thirty magic cores as prizes, which will be randomly drawn to give to lucky audience members..."

As soon as Chu Jun said this, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Chu Jun began to introduce the functions and effects of those talent gems, skill rings and magic rings.

The talent is naturally Night Eyes, the skill is Dark Curse, the demon spirit is of course the Black Death Demon, and the magic core is the lowest level E-level ordinary magic core.

This was another wave of advertising, letting people know that with the Night Eyes talent and Dark Curse skill, they would be able to pass through the Dark Maze more safely, allowing more wealthy but death-fearing people to come to the City of Light.

The scene was filled with jubilation. Originally, they said only thirty magic cores would be given away, but in the end, they increased the amount again and again, and finally distributed more than a hundred before the end.

After Li Xiu took back the Jedi Knights and the Dark Lord, he left the arena early.

The Magic Spirit Competition is not a big deal for Li Xiu. He has been preparing for promotion to Class D these days and is almost ready.

Not long after leaving the arena, I saw Li Qingyi walking out of another door. She also left the arena early and did not see Bai Ying who had been with her.

"The Magic Spirit Competition has not ended yet. Where is the city lord going?" Li Qingyi also saw Li Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"I have something to take care of. Where are you going, contestant Qingyi? If necessary, I can ask someone to guide you." Li Xiu said.

"I appreciate your kindness. I'm just taking a walk. I won't bother you." Li Qingyi originally wanted to watch the battle between the Jedi Knight and the Dark Lord, so he came to the arena alone.

She didn't expect that the Jedi Knight and the Black Death Lord were both Li Xiu's evil spirits, so she couldn't watch the competition. She had no interest in the prizes, so she just left.

"The contestant in blue is from Changshengtian, right?" Li Xiu asked.

"Does this have anything to do with the City Lord?" Li Qingyi asked back.

"If you have time, I have something related to the trial-taker and I would like you to take a look at it for me." Li Xiu said.

"What is that?" Li Qingyi was a little confused, not knowing what Li Xiu wanted her to see.

"A magic gem." Li Xiu said without hesitation.

"Why do you want me to see it?" When Li Qingyi heard that it was the magic gem, she couldn't help but look at Li Xiu again.

It is not surprising for ordinary trial-takers to know that killing the evil spirit can obtain the evil spirit ring, but there are not many people who know that there is also an evil spirit in the gem, except Changshengtian.

Li Xiu took out the black invitation card from his body, asked Li Qingyi to look at it, and said, "I'm a little unsure about that gem, so I want to find someone to help me take a look."

Li Qingyi carefully examined the black card for a while, and seemed a little surprised. After a long time, he said, "No one can tell for sure what the magic gem is. I can take a look, but I'm afraid it's hard to tell anything."

"Then thank you for your help." Li Xiu made a gesture of invitation.

Li Qingyi said nothing more and went to the City Lord's Mansion with Li Xiu.

Li Xiu brought Li Qingyi to the conference room and asked her to wait for a while while he went to get the magic gem.

During this period of time, he has been trying to find the Magic Gem, but things like the Magic Gem sometimes really depend on fate.

He looked at many gems but didn't find the Magic Gem. But yesterday he accidentally found this Magic Gem in his own warehouse.

This magic gem is used by people to pay for talent gems and skill rings in his shop.

It was a 13-carat star ruby. After Li Xiu saw this star ruby, he immediately felt hungry. It could be considered an unintentional gain.

The pebble-shaped red gem looks very beautiful. Although it is not as transparent as the pigeon blood ruby, the star ruby ​​also has its own characteristics.

On the smooth hemispherical ruby ​​surface, there are cross-shaped rays of light, like starlight. This is the unique starlight effect of star ruby.

Li Qingyi put on a pair of white gloves, then carefully picked up the Star Ruby, and then used a small flashlight to illuminate the Star Ruby.

Hit by the flashlight, the cross-shaped starlight became even brighter, and was really as beautiful as bright stars.

"Starlight gemstones have this effect because they contain rutile impurities. So generally speaking, starlight gemstones are not as transparent as ordinary gemstones. It may even be difficult to see their transparency with the naked eye. Although this starlight ruby ​​is not as clean as the top-grade rubies, it is already quite transparent, and the starlight lines are also very obvious, without any broken or twisted parts. It is a very top-grade starlight ruby." Li Qingyi gently put the starlight ruby ​​back into the box and continued, "Has this starlight ruby ​​been contracted? How can you be sure that it is a magic gemstone?"

"After this starlight ruby ​​came into my hands, it had not been contracted before. As for whether it had been contracted before, that is not something I know." Li Xiu paused and said with a smile: "As for how I can be sure that it is a magic gem, to be honest, I have no way to be sure, but I just feel that it is very likely to be a magic gem, so I would like to ask you to help me take a look."

"Feeling? How do you feel?" Li Qingyi asked puzzledly.

She had never heard of such a thing as being able to tell whether there was a demon spirit inside a gem just by feeling. Even in Changshengtian, who had studied demon spirit gems for thousands of years, such a thing had never happened before.

"To be honest, I once swallowed a magic ruby ​​by mistake. Since then, I have developed some microscopic feelings about rubies." Li Xiu said half-truthfully, hoping to stimulate discussion and see if he could get some useful information from Li Qingyi.

"You swallowed a magic gem?" Li Qingyi was shocked.

Swallowing the Magic Gem is not a good thing. Changshengtian has already conducted such an experiment to test whether the contract speed of the Magic Gem would be accelerated after the human body swallowed the Magic Gem.

But the results were extremely horrifying. Li Qingyi learned from the experimental data that those who underwent the experiment later became extremely terrifying.

"Do you know what the consequences of swallowing the magic gem will be?" Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and asked seriously.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have swallowed it." Li Xiu sighed.

"Since you have already received the invitation card and are considered a member of Changshengtian, I will not hide it from you. Anyone who swallows the magic gem is likely to become mentally ill and become a lunatic. If I were you, I would immediately find a way to take it out. If it cannot be excreted normally, I suggest you have surgery immediately to take it out, the sooner the better." Li Qingyi said seriously.

"I also want to take it out, but I can't find it." Li Xiu said with a wry smile.

"What do you mean can't find it?" Li Qingyi was slightly stunned.

Li Xiu took out a few X-ray films and gave them to Li Qingyi. After Li Qingyi read them one by one, he looked at Li Xiu with some doubt and asked, "Are you sure you swallowed the magic gem? Or maybe it was already excreted from your body a long time ago, but you just didn't notice it."

"I am sure I swallowed it, and it was not excreted, otherwise I would not have any feeling about this starlight ruby." Li Xiu pointed at the starlight ruby ​​in the box and said, "Is there any way to determine in a short time whether this starlight ruby ​​is a magic gem? I want to know if my feeling is correct."

In fact, Li Xiu wanted to know whether the demon spirit in this starlight ruby ​​was strong enough and whether he could use it to complete his plan of being promoted to D-level.

This plan was an idea he came up with after being inspired by the Great King, since it was certain that the reason he could not be promoted to Class D was because of his young demon spirit body and ruby.

I don’t know which one of them is the reason, or maybe it’s both of them, but it’s a problem with both of them.

Judging from the current situation, the young demon spirit is unable to handle the ruby ​​for the time being, otherwise the ruby ​​would have turned into a demon spirit ring long ago.

But what is certain is that the young demon spirit should have the upper hand, otherwise the demon spirit in the ruby ​​would have an influence on Li Xiu. In fact, this influence did not appear.

So Li Xiu planned to put another magic gem in to disrupt the situation, but the prerequisite was that this magic gem could not be quickly transformed into a magic ring by the magic larva, so the magic in this gem needed to be strong enough.

This method is very risky, but Li Xiu has no other choice. He can't stay at Level E forever.

Li Xiu had already considered the possible situations that might arise from placing another magic gem.

The best outcome is a three-way melee from which he benefits, and the worst outcome is that all three parties suck his blood, making it more difficult for him to be promoted.

Another possibility is that any two parties join forces to destroy one of them.

No matter which possibility it is, there will definitely be a period of chaos at the beginning, and Li Xiu wants to take this opportunity to be promoted to Class D.

The reason why Li Xiu dared to play like this was because he was definitely not afraid of the evil spirit taking over his body, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk.

"If you want to know whether it is a magic gem, the normal way is to nourish it with blood, but it will take a longer time." Li Qingyi said.

"I also know the blood-nourishing method, but is there a faster method? It would be best if I could know whether it is a magic gem in a short period of time." Li Xiu said.

"If you want to test whether there are magic gems among a pile of gems, then I really have no way to test it out in a short time. But since you just want to confirm whether this one is a magic gem, there is a method, but it is risky and not cost-effective." Li Qingyi pondered.

"What method?" Li Xiu asked quickly.

"Have you ever heard of raising Gu? It's about putting different poisonous insects into a closed space. Without food or water, they will kill each other. The one that survives will become the king of poisonous insects, the Gu insect." Li Qingyi explained: "Even though the magic gems are not Gu insects, if you put them in a completely closed space so that they cannot absorb energy from the outside world, they will begin to absorb each other's energy. If you put two magic gems together and one of them becomes turbid and dim after a while, it means that both gems are magic gems. If there is no change in both gems, it means that one of them is just an ordinary gem, and the magic gem will not absorb the energy of ordinary gems."

"But this method has a drawback. If both are magic gems, one of them will definitely be damaged. At the very least, the quality of the magic embryo will be reduced, or the quality will be degraded. At the worst, the magic gem may be directly damaged, and the magic inside will disappear."
