After arranging Jing Li to stay in Courtyard No. 7, Li Xiu carried the magic suit box to the Magic Suit Research Institute.
Originally, Li Xiu planned to be restrained when playing with Jing Li, but in that situation, Li Xiu was also infected, and got a little too excited. He accidentally played a little too much, and the Furnace Guardian also suffered some damage due to excessive overload, so he could only take it to the researchers to see if it could be repaired.
As soon as they entered the research institute, Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu's eyes lit up when they saw Li Xiu. They ran over and called him "General Manager" all the time. They moved a chair over, poured tea and water, and almost gave Li Xiu a shoulder massage and back massage.
"Where is Dean Xu?" Li Xiu asked while sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
When he came here today, he didn't see the old men basking in the sun in the yard.
"Professor Xu and his researchers are working hard to repair your divine and magical suits. When he came back before, he said that there must be something wrong with your set of Furnace Guardian. You must repair the set of divine and magical suits first. It will be inconvenient for you to use the other magical suits." Lei Qingfeng said with a smile on his face.
"As expected of the dean of the research institute, he is very insightful." Li Xiu praised and said to Qiu Tianyu, "Send this magic suit to Dean Xu to see if it can be repaired."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Professor Xu also said that it will take some time to repair the divine magic suit. If you need it, you can go to the warehouse and take a look at the artificial No. 13. If it can be used, you can use it temporarily." Qiu Tianyu said quickly.
"Okay, since Dean Xu said so, there's no need to look at it. Go and get me the artificial No. 13." Li Xiu said after taking a sip of tea.
"I'll go get you artificial No. 13." Lei Qingfeng trotted to the warehouse, and Qiu Tianyu also went to the laboratory carrying the Furnace Guardian.
"Why have these guys changed their personalities today?" Li Xiu felt that these people in the research institute were a little abnormal.
In the laboratory, Professor Xu and a group of old men were studying the repair plan for the gods' magic armor.
"The core has been damaged. Even if we use the crystal injection method to repair it, the output of the core energy may not be as stable as before. I suggest replacing the core. We must use better magic cores and super-spiritual gems as the core to be worthy of Chief Li..."
"No, no, no. No matter how good the ordinary magic cores and super spirit gems are, they are not worthy of the general commander. I think the divine magic suit should be transformed into a double super core. With the general commander's ability, controlling the double super core should not be a problem."
"No matter how strong the core energy is, it's useless. If the armor's material can't withstand it, it's a waste of performance. I think the armor should be strengthened so that it can withstand stronger magic light transmission. Otherwise, no matter how strong the core energy is, it's just a decoration, and the data will look good."
"The material of the Divine Magic Armor is already quite good. It may not be easy to find a stronger material. Even if there is one, smelting and casting it will be a problem. I think we should use composite materials."
"Why not just give up the Divine Magic Armor and create a completely new one? How can we let the Commander-in-Chief use this garbage..."
A group of old men were excitedly studying various plans here, and Professor Xu just smiled and said nothing.
"After so many years, the research institute finally has some vitality again." Professor Xu sighed in his heart. If it weren't for the battle with Li Xiu, the research institute would have almost become a nursing home.
Because there were no magic costume masters who could use the new magic costumes they developed, the research institute had long lost the motivation to continue researching magic costumes, and it has been a long time since they have developed any groundbreaking new magic costumes.
"Professor Xu, the chief has brought the Furnace Guardian here. Just as you said, the Furnace Guardian has been damaged and needs to be repaired." When a group of old men were talking excitedly, Qiu Tianyu brought the Furnace Guardian over.
"Where is the commander-in-chief?" Upon hearing that Li Xiu had arrived, a group of old men immediately surrounded him.
"It's outside in the yard." Qiu Tianyu was startled and said quickly.
"I'm going to meet the director and have a good chat with him!" The old men said as they were about to go outside, but were stopped by Professor Xu.
"Don't be in a hurry. What is there to say when we meet the director now? We have almost understood the key to the problem. Let's make a set of magic clothes that the director can use and give him a surprise. It will also let him know the strength of our research institute. Then it will be easier for us to talk to the director, right?" Professor Xu said.
"Yes, yes, the dean is right. If we don't make a set of magic armor that the commander-in-chief can use, outsiders will think we are a bunch of useless old men." The old men stopped.
"The problem is that we don't have much materials left, and Vice President Bai's materials haven't arrived yet. It may be difficult to make a set of magic suits that the general can use with the existing resources."
"Let's go find that fat white guy. Why is he holding back on our resources?"
"Yes, we must use dual super cores."
"Composite materials are also used in armor."
Professor Xu waved his hand, signaling the old men to be quiet: "I'm afraid we won't be able to get the materials back for a while. We can only think of a solution based on the existing materials. This is also a time to test our abilities and skills."
"But without the materials, how can we make new magic costumes?" An old man's words immediately resonated with people.
"That's right. We must have better materials and energy cores to create a magic suit worthy of the commander-in-chief..."
Professor Xu said: "It's not that there is no solution. We already have two sets of magic equipment, the God and the Furnace."
"You mean... dismantle two sets of magic costumes, and use the materials from the two sets of magic costumes to rebuild one set of magic costumes..." The old men's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Xiu had just taken two sips of tea when Lei Qingfeng brought over the artificial No. 13. He looked at Li Xiu eagerly and said, "General, the core of this magic suit has complex energy properties. If you want to activate it, it will be very difficult to control. Do you have any better method?"
"Want to learn?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Lei Qingfeng said quickly, "General Manager, if you want to accept me as a disciple, I will serve you tea and kowtow to you."
"That's not necessary. You are a member of my technician team. It's my duty to teach you." Li Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed on the starting device of Artificial No. 13, and the light pattern on Artificial No. 13 immediately lit up.
In just a moment, artificial No. 13 wrapped around Li Xiu's body, then quickly decomposed and turned into a magic box.
Lei Qingfeng's eyes widened. The artificial No. 13, which others had no way of activating, was like a low-level magic suit in Li Xiu's hands. It could change its shape instantly, and the speed was faster and smoother than controlling a low-level magic suit.
"You are also an S-level magician, right?" Li Xiu put down the artificial No. 13, looked at Lei Qingfeng and asked.
"Yes, Chief, but my spiritual awareness is just ordinary. Unlike the Sword Saint and Gun Demon, they do not possess special spiritual awareness. Even if it is a specially designed super-core magic suit, I have no way to activate it." Lei Qingfeng said helplessly.
This is how it is for a magic armor master. Talent is king. If you don’t have enough spiritual talent, then there is nothing you can do.
S-level magic armor masters are considered top talents outside, but in Changshengtian, only those magic armor masters with special spiritual awareness can be considered top-notch.
"Spiritual awareness is indeed a problem, but it doesn't mean that there is no possibility at all if the spiritual awareness is weak. Take this set of artificial No. 13 and the other Thousand-Armed Guanyin for example, these two sets of magic suits actually only require ordinary S-level spiritual awareness to control, and their performance is not inferior to the magic suits of gods. As long as you master the method and go through some training, you can also control them." Li Xiu said.
Lei Qingfeng massaged Li Xiu's shoulders while asking, "General, how do you think I should be trained?"
"You should have no problem doing two things at once, right?" Li Xiu asked.
"No problem. Isn't that the basic skill of us magic armor masters? Although my spiritual awareness is ordinary, I can still do it. There is no problem in doing four things at the same time." Lei Qingfeng said.
"That's no problem. I'll teach you a set of chain control methods. Once you learn this control method, you should be able to control the Thousand-Armed Guanyin." Li Xiu said.
Lei Qingfeng was delighted when he heard this: "There are too many cores of Thousand-Handed Guanyin, as many as thirty-six. I can only use four cores at the same time. Can I really control Thousand-Handed Guanyin?"
"One-to-one control is simply not feasible. Chain control is actually a kind of control technique similar to an instruction set. You don't need to be distracted to control all the cores..." Li Xiu explained the principles and methods of chain control to Lei Qingfeng.
Qiu Tianyu came back halfway through, but didn't dare to disturb Li Xiu, so he could only listen from the middle. He was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask Li Xiu to repeat it from the beginning.
Lei Qingfeng became more and more pleased as he listened. He felt that Li Xiu's method was indeed feasible and did not sound too difficult.
Some things are like this. When you don’t understand them, they seem difficult and impossible. But when you truly understand them, they are actually not that difficult.
What is really difficult is how to discover these methods, but learning them is not that difficult.
Qiu Tianyu felt as uncomfortable as if a kitten was scratching his heart with its claws. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to. He regretted why he didn't come back earlier. He should have rushed back immediately after sending the magic armor over.
After Li Xiu finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Tianyu and said, "The magic costume also has its own personality. In fact, this Thousand-Handed Guanyin magic costume is more suitable for you."
Qiu Tianyu felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, and hurriedly said to Lei Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, since the general manager has said so, why don't you give me the Thousand-Handed Guanyin first, and then I will ask Professor Xu to make you a suitable magic suit."
"Get out." Lei Qingfeng raised his middle finger at Qiu Tianyu.
Qiu Tianyu looked at Li Xiu eagerly. Li Xiu pondered for a moment and said to Lei Qingfeng: "In fact, your personality is not suitable for using the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, so let him have it. Explain the chain control method I just told you to him carefully. You can practice together. This is the basis for controlling multi-core magic suits. Multi-core magic suits will definitely be the mainstream in the future, so you must learn it."
"Chief, what should I do?" Lei Qingfeng felt aggrieved, as if a husband was going to marry his second wife.
"This artificial No. 13 is more suitable for you. Wait until I develop a control method suitable for the artificial No. 13, and then I will give it to you." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Li Xiu was not very interested in the artificial No. 13. Although the performance of this magic suit was very good, it was still not enough for Li Xiu. He needed a stronger magic suit.
"How can I do that? This is the magic armor you want to use... and Professor Xu said that you must protect yourself now. There may be many people in Changshengtian who want to kill you. I can't take this magic armor." Lei Qingfeng shook his head.
Li Xiu said calmly, "I'm not giving it to you now. Wait until I figure out how to control the artificial No. 13. The gods and the furnace guardians should have been repaired, so it won't affect anything."
"Thank you, Chief. I'll be welcome then." Lei Qingfeng was overjoyed when he heard that.
"Please tell Dean Xu for me that we can make more multi-core magic armors like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. With the chain control method I taught you, there should be many magic armor masters who can use this kind of multi-core magic armor." Li Xiu said.
"Chief, are you planning to make the chain control method public?" Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu were both shocked when they heard this.
This kind of control technique that can increase the combat effectiveness of an S-class mage to a higher level is considered a secret by others, but Li Xiu actually announced it so casually, which surprised the two of them.
"The Magic Armor Masters are too weak overall, so you should learn as much as you can." Li Xiu said calmly, "You should practice on your own first. If you have any questions, come to Courtyard No. 7 to find me. After you have learned it, write down your experience of the chain control method and take it to the Magic Armor Master Courtyard. You should do your best to teach the Magic Armor Masters who are willing to learn."
"Yes, Chief." Qiu Tianyu and Lei Qingfeng both stood in awe and responded seriously.
…
In Li Changyin's study, Wan Chaoxin was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea by himself.
"Master Li asked me to come here. I wonder what instructions he has for me?" Wan Chaoxin put down his teacup and said slowly.
"Did you watch the battle between Li Xiu and Jing Li?" Li Changyin said with a smile.
"It seems that Jing Li's defeat was not unfair. The technician team will probably rise in the future." Wan Chaoxin said.
"Li Xiu is indeed a talent. He is unprecedented in the history of using magic equipment to this extent. In addition, Jing Li has now joined the technician team. The technician team will have a place among the seven teams in the future." Li Changyin smiled and said, "General Wan Chao, what do you think?"
"I'm just a newly appointed chief. What ideas can I have?" Wan Chaoxin said calmly.
"As the leader of the Truth-Seeking Group, do you want to give up the inheritance that should belong to the Truth-Seeking Group?" Li Changyin said.
Wan Chaoxin frowned slightly: "What inheritance?"
"Li Xiu asked Bai Wanli for the blood seal stone of an ordinary female member of the Seeking the Tao group. The female member named Sha Chu was introduced into the group by the old general manager of the Seeking the Tao group. After the old general manager passed away, the whereabouts of the parasitic contract and the magic ring on the old general manager were unknown, and the old general manager did not leave any inheritance." Li Changyin said.
"You mean, the general manager's inheritance is in Sha Chu's hands?" Wan Chaoxin frowned.
"I can't be sure about this. I only know that after Han Mingshou became the head of the Seeking Truth Group, he got nothing and has been targeting that female member." Li Changyin said.
Wan Chaoxin was silent after hearing this. After a while, he stood up and said, "Master Li, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Judging from the fighting power Li Xiu showed today, I am no match for him either."
After saying that, Wan Chaoxin was ready to turn around and leave.
"Are we just going to let the theft of the Super Spiritual Gem go like this?" Li Changyin said slowly.
"It's hard to say whether it was Li Xiu who stole the super spiritual gem." Although Wan Chaoxin thought it was Li Xiu, he would not admit it at this time.
"If I have a way to separate Li Xiu from the magic suit, don't you want to take back everything that belongs to you?" Li Changyin continued calmly.
Wan Chaoxin finally stopped after hearing this, looked at Li Changyin and said, "What does Patriarch Li mean?"
"You and our Li family are the same. We don't want the trial-takers' affairs to be made public, but Li Xiu did it. Li Xiu took away our Li family's resources. He also took away your super spiritual gem, which should have belonged to you. It's in his hands now. He is our common enemy, isn't he?" Li Changyin looked at Wan Chaoxin and said slowly, "Kill Li Xiu, and our Li family will agree to let Wan Chao return to the ranks of the great family."
"Does Master Li really mean what he said?" Wan Chaoxin's expression changed slightly.
"Have I, Li Changyin, ever broken my promise?" Li Changyin asked solemnly.
"I wonder what plans Master Li has?" Wan Chaoxin was still a little hesitant.
Li Changyin did not answer, but just clapped his hands. He saw several people pushing the door and entering the study. The two people walking in front were Bai Wanli and Han Mingshou, followed by Su Bancheng and another person.
Wan Chaoxin couldn't help but frown when he saw Han Mingshou.
Han Mingshou also looked at Wan Chaoxin and snorted coldly.
Li Changyin pretended not to see it, and asked everyone to sit down before saying, "Soon, Li Xiu will enter the Heavenly Gate. He will naturally be unable to use his magic suit inside the Heavenly Gate. When the time comes, you all must join forces to kill him. You must not drag your feet like Jing Li did, giving Li Xiu a chance to leave the trial ground."
"How does the head of the Li family know that Li Xiu is going to Tianmen? And how do we know when he will enter Tianmen and when he will come out?" Wan Chaoxin said.
"Everything about Li Xiu is under control. Just come with us to kill him." Bai Wanli said with a smile.
"If that's the case, why do we need so many of us to go together? As long as he doesn't have the magic armor, it will be easy for any one of you to kill him." Wan Chaoxin realized that something was wrong.
Li Changyin said, "Li Xiu is going to Tianmen with Qing Yi this time. Not only do you have to kill Li Xiu, but you also have to take care of Qing Yi's safety. You have to go for this."
"Li Qingyi went to Tianmen to be promoted to the light base level, right?" Wan Chaoxin immediately understood.
Li Changyin nodded and said, "That's right, that's why we need the help of the head of Wanchao. With the one from your Wanchao family in Tianmen, Qingyi's trip will be safe, and Li Xiu will be sure to die. After the matter is done, the Wanchao family will surely return to the ranks of the great people."
"I hope Mr. Li can keep his word." Wan Chaoxin said slowly.
