A gloomy old castle and a swamp full of dead trees twisted like snakes.

Jiu Xiaoyun had just arrived at the gate of the castle when he saw that the gate had been opened, and the inside was filled with the decomposing corpses of evil spirits.

Deep in the castle, you can hear fierce explosions and rays of light can be seen from time to time.

"I'm late...someone has already arrived at the Queen's Banquet Party before me..." Jiu Xiaoyun continued to walk inside on his Demon Shark, wanting to see who had killed the demons participating in the Queen's Banquet before him.

"He is actually fighting with the Queen of Night Banquet. Who is this Guangji?" Jiuxiaoyun was shocked when he saw that the sound of fighting came from the back garden.

After passing through many buildings, Jiu Xiaoyun arrived at the queen's back garden and immediately saw two figures fighting wildly in the garden.

One of the figures was the Queen of the Night Banquet, who was three meters tall, wearing black night armor, a crown on her head, and holding a fishbone-like serrated sword in each hand.

The Queen of the Night Banquet would occasionally let out ear-piercing screams. The black magic light that almost blended into the night made her body appear and disappear in the night, and the sword light from her two swords was almost invisible.

The man who was fighting with the Queen of the Night Banquet was holding a ghost-head broadsword. The seemingly heavy sword was incredibly fast in that man's hand. His every move was so simple that there was not a single unnecessary movement. He slashed left and blocked right, and actually blocked all the attacks of the Queen of the Night Banquet, and chopped off the almost invisible sword light of the night with his sword.

"Jing Li!" Jiu Xiaoyun immediately recognized who that person was and was greatly surprised.

The Night Banquet Queen is a light-based demon spirit, and I heard that she is an eight-meridian light-based demon. She cannot win without being light-based.

He came here just to kill the low-level demons attending the Queen's Banquet, but he didn't dare to provoke the Banquet Queen.

Jing Li is a super spirit trialist like him. Although his fighting ability is stronger than his, he can never be a match for the Queen of the Night Banquet.

Now Jing Li was able to fight with the Queen of Night Banquet to a draw, which surprised Jiu Xiaoyun very much.

"The four major families have been suppressing Jing Li and not giving him the opportunity to advance to the Light Base. How did he advance to the Light Base..." Jiu Xiaoyun took a closer look and found that something was wrong.

The knife in Jing Li's hand is his symbiotic contract. If he has been promoted to the light-based level, the knife should be integrated with his body, and there will inevitably be special changes.

But the knife did not change at all. It was still in the same state as the ghost-head knife that Jing Li used when Li Xiu fought him last time. It can be seen that Jing Li did not advance to the light base.

"Without the promotion to the light base, how could his light energy compete with the Night Banquet Queen of the Eight Meridians Light Base?" Jiu Xiaoyun's mind was full of doubts.

Suddenly, Jing Li slashed down wildly with one hand, forcing the Queen of the Night Banquet to cross her swords to block his knife.

The two swords blocked the knife, but Jing Li's other hand suddenly turned his palm into a knife. With a terrifying blade light, he cut the Queen of the Night Banquet in half with a wave of his hand.

"Condensing light and turning it into blades, this is an ability that only the light-based level has. Is Jing Li really at the light-based level?" Jiu Xiaoyun was shocked.

Jing Li obviously has not been promoted to the light base level, so why does he have the ability to condense light into blades with his flesh and blood?

"Jing Li, have you been promoted to Light Base?" Seeing Jing Li picking up the things dropped by the Queen of the Night Banquet and coming towards him, Jiu Xiaoyun was not afraid of Jing Li and asked.

"No." Jing Li glanced at Jiu Xiaoyun, then walked towards the gate of the back garden, intending to leave.

"Without being promoted to light base, how did you manage to condense light into blades with your flesh and blood?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked in surprise.

Jing Li ignored Jiu Xiaoyun completely and disappeared after walking out of the back garden.

Now is not the time to announce the light planting method. If Jing Li had not been fighting with the Queen of the Night Banquet just now, he would not have let Jiu Xiaoyun see it.

Jiu Xiaoyun's heart moved, and he shouted to Jing Li's back: "Does Li Xiu really have a method to condense the meridians before the light base level?"

"How do you know?" Jing Li stopped, turned around and stared at Jiu Xiaoyun coldly.

"It's actually true!" Jiu Xiaoyun was shocked. When Li Xiu told him these words before, he just thought Li Xiu was a big liar who wanted to play him like a fool.

But now it seems that Li Xiu did not fool him, and he actually has a method to condense the meridians before the light basic level.

Jing Li's previous level was clearly demonstrated in the battle with Li Xiu. Now, although he has not been promoted to the light base, he is already able to kill light base level, and it is obvious that he has condensed his meridians.

During this period of time, Jing Li has not done anything major except joining the technician team. The four major families were unwilling to give him a chance before, and now that he has joined the technician team, it is even less likely that they will give him a chance. The most likely possibility is that his meridian condensation is related to Li Xiu.

"Damn it, am I a pig? Would I have died if I had listened to Li Xiu's words a little more?" Jiu Xiaoyun was depressed to death. Seeing the murderous intent in Jing Li's eyes, he quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, Li Xiu told me about this. He invited me to join the technician team to participate in the competition, so he told me about this. I didn't agree at the time and I'm still considering it."

After hearing what Jiu Xiaoyun said, Jing Li turned around and left, no longer paying attention to him.

Seeing Jing Li leaving, Jiu Xiaoyun was in no mood to do anything else, so he rode away on the Demon Shark. He had to go and ask Li Xiu whether it was really possible to condense the meridians before the light base level.

This kind of thing is simply shocking. If there really is such a method, let alone Jiu Xiaoyun, as long as Li Xiu is willing, I am afraid that even the big guys at the light base level would be willing to join the technician team without regard for their reputation to help him participate in the competition.

This is something that will simply subvert the existing trial-taker system. If Jiu Xiaoyun had known about this thing earlier, he would have joined the technician team even if he had to beg Li Xiu.

Jiu Xiaoyun is now eager to get this method. He knows very well that once the news that Li Xiu possesses such a heaven-defying method gets out, it will not be his turn to benefit from it.

Those big guys will definitely trample on the threshold of Li Xiu's house, and may even arrest Li Xiu and torture him at all costs.

He must obtain this secret technique before Li Xiu is killed.

"I'm such a fool. Why couldn't I have more patience before? What if this secret has been discovered and Li Xiu has been arrested?" After Jiu Xiaoyun rushed out of the trial gate, he rushed to Yard No. 7 without stopping.

Fortunately, when he arrived at Courtyard No. 7, there seemed to be nothing unusual there, which made Jiu Xiaoyun breathe a sigh of relief.

These days, Li Xiu has been teaching Qian Chongshan while studying the combination of Bottle Suction and Hand of God, and occasionally feeding Cupid Sagittarius and Black Death.

Cupid Sagittarius has been promoted two levels, from an E-level transparent person to a C-level, and his talent skills have been awakened in two consecutive promotions.

Eros Sagittarius: Can evolve into a demon spirit.

Grade: C.

Quality: Brilliant.

Talented skills: Arrow of Cupid, Rain of Flowers.

The Arrow of Cupid is an enhanced version of Charm. Although the normal attacks of Cupid Archer had the ability of Charm before, the effect was relatively weak and its effect on high-level monsters was very limited, otherwise it would have no effect at all.

The Arrow of Cupid strengthens this power of charm and can also have a certain effect on monsters with higher levels than the Cupid Archer.

Of course, if the opponent's level is too high, the arrow of Cupid cannot penetrate the protective magic light, so it is still useless.

Flower rain all over the sky is a group charm skill. The light arrows shot by the Cupid Archer can turn into a rain of light arrows, covering a small area. All the monsters hit by the arrows will be charmed.

However, the enchanting effect of the rain of flowers is much weaker than that of a single Cupid's Arrow, but it is still very amazing.

Once Cupid Sagittarius's level reaches S-level or Super Spirit, you can imagine how powerful her abilities will be.

Although it has no lethal skills, this ability is simply the best auxiliary monster.

Among Li Xiu's evil spirits, the only one who can be compared with Cupid Sagittarius in this respect is the White Night Demon.

Unfortunately, the gems needed for the growth of the White Night Demon are too expensive, and Li Xiu does not have the financial resources to train her for the time being.

The Black Death Lord has not yet been promoted to S-level, but it should be soon.

When Li Zheng was throwing the ball, he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

Sha Chu went out to do something, so Li Xiu had to go and open the door himself.

"What are you doing here?" Li Xiu asked with some surprise when he saw that the person outside the door was Jiu Xiaoyun.

"Ahem, after careful consideration, I feel that your technician team is in such a miserable state that I would feel guilty if I don't help you, so I decided to join your technician team and represent them in the competition..." Jiu Xiaoyun cleared his throat and said righteously.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary anymore." Li Xiu said.

"No longer needed? How can you not need it? Jing Li is the only one in your technician team who can fight. If you save any other technicians, there will be no one else who can fight. If I join your technician team, I will definitely help you win a lot of battles..." Jiu Xiaoyun was shocked and said quickly.

"The three places for our technician group to participate in the competition have already been decided. Thank you for your kindness, but it's really not necessary." Li Xiu said with a smile.

He had indeed been planning to bring Jiu Xiaoyun over to participate in the competition, but after Li Qingyi joined, Li Xiu no longer planned to keep Jiu Xiaoyun.

"Has it been decided? Who are they?" Jiu Xiaoyun was anxious, but didn't dare to show it too much.

"Jing Li, Li Qingyi and Qian Chongshan, the captain of the Magic Armor Division Brigade." Li Xiu answered truthfully.

Hearing that Li Qingyi had actually joined the technician team and was going to fight on their behalf, Jiu Xiaoyun became even more certain that Li Xiu must have that secret technique, otherwise why would Li Qingyi suddenly join the technician team? He must have come for that secret technique.

Jiu Xiaoyun was now regretting so much that he wished he could slap himself twice.

"Is there anything else?" Li Xiu wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Jiu Xiaoyun, who asked with a frown.

"Ahem, Chief Li, there will be no problem for Jing Li and Li Qingyi to represent you in the competition, but the level of your captain of the magic armor team is a bit low. You can let me replace him, so that you can guarantee more wins." Jiu Xiaoyun said hurriedly.

"No need. Our technician group is mainly composed of magic costume masters, so there must be a magic costume master to participate in the competition. This cannot be changed. Even if only one member can participate, it must be a magic costume master." Li Xiu said.

Jiu Xiaoyun was speechless when he heard what Li Xiu said.

The magic armor master cannot be replaced, and he doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than Jing Li and Li Qingyi. There is no way he can squeeze in.

Jiu Xiaoyun stood in front of the door, not knowing what to say. But he was unwilling to retreat just like that, so he froze there.

"Do you want to learn the method of consolidating meridians?" Li Xiu naturally knew Jiu Xiaoyun's thoughts and broke the silence with a smile.

"Yes." Seeing a turn for the better, Jiu Xiaoyun nodded in reply.

"How about this, I don't need you to participate in the competition. You can officially join the technician team and I will teach you." Li Xiu said.

"Sure." Jiu Xiaoyun nodded quickly. He didn't care.

"Then let's leave the blood seal stone." Li Xiu said.

Jiuxiaoyun hesitated when he heard that. He was not born in Changsheng City, but he was able to thrive in Changshengtian. One of the reasons was that he was not restricted by the Blood Seal Stone.

His grandfather used to be the chief. He brought him into the guild and also got the Blood Seal Stone when he joined. However, the Blood Seal Stone was under the control of his grandfather. Later, before his grandfather retired from the position of chief, he took out his Blood Seal Stone.

Although the new chief knew that he did not have Jiu Xiaoyun's blood seal stone, he did not say anything.

Firstly, it was for the sake of Jiuxiaoyun's grandfather, and secondly, he was afraid that Jiuxiaoyun's family would cause him trouble.

This family are all thieves. As the saying goes, it's not the thieves who steal that you're afraid of, but the thieves who are thinking about stealing. The new chief didn't want to be targeted by a family of thieves, so he pretended not to know. Only then did Jiu Xiaoyun become free.

If he leaves the blood seal stone here with Li Xiu, he will be controlled by Li Xiu, which is not something the unruly and freedom-loving Jiu Xiaoyun is willing to do.

"If you don't want to give it to me, please go back." Li Xiu said as he was about to close the door.

"Give it to me, why wouldn't I? You're worrying too much, Chief. I'm just thinking about where to put my blood seal stone." Jiu Xiaoyun quickly pressed the door panel and said with a smile on his face.

He had already made up his mind that once he got Li Xiu's secret method, he would steal his blood seal stone back.

As the heir of this generation of a family of thieves, stealing a blood seal stone from Li Xiu would only take a few minutes. What's so scary about that?

"You don't have to look for it. I'll get you a new one. Just fill out the application form and join the group first." Li Xiu said and closed the door.

"Hmph, I'm letting you act so arrogantly now. When I get the secret method, you'll cry. You want my Blood Seal Stone, then I'll not only steal it back, but also empty your family fortune." Jiu Xiaoyun felt more and more satisfied the more he thought about it, and happily went to find Han Minghui to ask for the application form to join the group.

After sending Jiuxiaoyun away, Li Xiu continued to train Qianchongshan. Although Qianchongshan had good talent, it was still inferior to Ye Xiyuan.

When I taught Ye Xiyuan before, I only needed to teach him verbally, but when teaching Qian Chongshan, I have to do it myself.

Fortunately, Qian Chongshan is very persevering and is not averse to boring training at all. He seems to be addicted to abuse. The more Li Xiu abuses him, the more excited he becomes. These days, he comes to train before dawn.

When Li Xiu trained him, he followed suit. When Li Xiu was resting, he took the baseball and studied it on his own, trying to learn Li Xiu's pitching method.

Li Xiu originally just wanted Qian Chongshan to win one or two games. Seeing that Qian Chongshan was a promising talent, he couldn't help but say a few more words to him.

With Li Xiu's guidance, Qian Chongshan not only made progress in his Angel Wings, but also learned the magic light ball control technique developed by Li Xiu.

Of course, Qian Chongshan is not like Li Xiu who can control the magic light ball freely. He needs a lot of time to practice before he can master some techniques to make the magic light ball change its traces.

Moreover, time is tight and Qian Chongshan does not have enough time to practice the various techniques of magic light ball control.

So Li Xiu asked Qian Chongshan to concentrate on practicing the "butterfly technique". The magic light ball thrown out with this technique is like the butterfly ball in baseball. The magic light ball floats up and down and left and right. Even the magic master who throws the magic light ball does not know where the magic light ball will eventually fly to, let alone the opponent.

Li Xiu can control the butterfly ball perfectly, but Qian Chongshan is not Li Xiu, so Li Xiu does not force Qian Chongshan to control the butterfly ball perfectly. As long as it is roughly right, it will be fine. He can try his luck then.

With his body skills making him invincible and the butterfly ball to try his luck, Qian Chongshan still has a great chance of winning.

"When condensing the magic light ball, the magic light inside the magic light ball cannot be symmetrical as usual. An eccentric point needs to be created. The position of the eccentric point is the key to affecting the trajectory of the magic light ball..." Seeing Qian Chongshan so serious, Li Xiu explained it in more detail.

After listening to this, Qian Chongshan continued to practice.

After a while, Lei Qingfeng ran over and told Li Xiu that Qian Chongshan's new magic suit was ready, and asked Li Xiu to take Qian Chongshan to test the new magic suit.

"So soon?" There are still more than ten days before the competition, which is several days earlier than expected.

"How dare the institute neglect the director's order? Professor Xu and a group of researchers are working day and night just to leave more time for you." Lei Qingfeng said.

The three of them came to the research institute and saw the new magic suit that had just been made.

"General, according to your requirements, this magic suit uses thirty-two energy cores, the light pattern transmission system is strengthened, and the materials used are composite materials..." Professor Xu introduced the various performance indexes of the new magic suit.

"Thank you, this magic suit is better than I expected." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"If the thirty-two energy cores are stimulated to maximum power at the same time, the magic light produced can reach the standard of super spirit. However, multi-core control will be very troublesome. If the coordination is not good, the core energy may affect each other..." Professor Xu repeated the various defects of the new magic suit in detail.

"Chongshan, give it a try." Li Xiu asked Qian Chongshan to put on the new magic costume and began to test the performance of the new magic costume.

Thirty-two cores. Even using chain control technique, Qian Chongshan still couldn't activate all the cores. The magic suit was also very unsmooth to use, and he walked like a child who had just learned to walk.

This state made Professor Xu, Lei Qingfeng and others a little worried. If they really went to participate in the competition like this, let alone winning, it would be good enough if they could avoid falling down.

Li Xiu seemed very satisfied. After letting Qian Chongshan conduct some tests, he took Qian Chongshan back to Yard No. 7.

At Li Xiu's request, Qian Chongshan has been wearing the new magic costume since he came out of the research institute. He doesn't even take it off when sleeping, let alone training.
