In the conference hall of the City of Light.
Sha Chu looked at the latest registration form with a very unhappy expression on his face. He distributed the printed registration form to A Fei, Chu Jun, the Ye brothers and sisters and others.
"Take a look at them all. What do you think?" Sha Chu said with a wry smile.
Ye Yuzhen and Ye Xiyuan didn't see anything. Chu Jun looked at them carefully for a while and said solemnly, "The people in the front, Han Daoliang, Sun Zhengping, Mo Feitian, and Li Zhong, are they from the four great families? Why haven't I heard of their names in Changshengtian?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of their names. Han Daoliang, the uncle of Vice President Han, is the soul forger of the older generation of the Han family. Although he has never served as an elder or the general manager, and has never been involved in trivial matters, he is the number one person in the Han family. It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with the name Sun Zhengping. You know Sun Wuxi, the general manager of the Divine Pet Group. Sun Zhengping is his uncle, the fourth elder of the previous generation, who guarded the trial gate for decades. There are not many elders who can retreat unscathed. He is one of them, and he is also a soul forger. Mo Feitian, the people of the Mo family are relatively gentle and introverted, and they have never been... He quarreled with others. Although his surname was Mo, he did not inherit the character of the Mo family. He killed people when he disagreed with them. He once caused a big disaster and was imprisoned in the Longevity Dungeon for more than ten years. After he came out, he was said to cultivate his body and mind. Occasionally, when he was in a bad mood, he liked to go to the trial ground to kill some demons for fun. Li Zhong, Li Changyin and Li Changmian, were of the same generation, but he was not as good as the two brothers. He practiced silently for decades. It was said that he had forged a spirit recently. The Li family declined and there were not many people who could be used. This Li Zhong did not participate in the rebellion and is now the pillar of the Li family. "
"Are these all Soul Forging Grade?" Chu Jun and his companions were shocked when they heard this.
"They are all soul forgers." Sha Chu sighed, "I didn't expect that the four great families would be so generous this time. In a trial contest, all their secrets were exposed. With these four people participating, it may be difficult for us to reclaim the first prize."
"It's just a trial competition. Is it necessary to play it like this?" Chu Jun didn't quite understand why the four major families would spend so much money.
"It is necessary, because this trial competition is related to the number of places the four major families can recruit for members from outside the family. The president has personally announced that the four major families will have the same quota of recruiting external members as the seven groups of immortals in the future, and the number of places will be determined by performance." Sha Chu explained the matter again.
"The four major families can also recruit external members?" Chu Jun was stunned when he heard this.
"It's not just the four major families. In fact, the other families in Changshengtian are the same. Just look further ahead." Sha Chu said.
Chu Jun looked back again. He was not familiar with the other names, but Wan Chaochun's name was on the list.
"Even Sister Chun is here. This time, it's really a big deal. Why are we still participating? The top five places are definitely reserved by these people. Even if we want to compete, we can only compete for a place outside the top five." Chu Jun put down the list and continued, "But it's good this way. With them participating, it will be difficult for this trial contest to fail."
"You're right. Success is no longer a problem. The problem is that we won't be able to get back the prizes we invested." Sha Chu looked at Ye Yuzhen and Ye Xiyuan and said, "There's also the issue of the safety of the competition arena. Before, we were thinking about maintaining law and order, but now we have to worry about whether the fight between these Soul Casting masters will break the defense network of the arena, which will affect the spectators outside."
"Can we reinforce the defense net, or add another layer of defense net outside the original defense net?" Ye Yuzhen said.
"Even if we add three more layers, it won't be of much use to the Soul Forging Class. Not to mention the Soul Forging Class, even the Light Basic Class can't defend against it." Sha Chu looked at everyone and said, "Before the competition begins, we must come up with a plan. What do you think?"
"Can we build an aerial arena and let them fight in the air?" Ye Yuzhen pondered.
"Firstly, there is not enough time to build the aerial arena. Secondly, even if it can be built, the audience cannot see them fighting in the air. At most, they can only see light and shadow. If they watch the live broadcast on the screen, who would buy tickets to watch it in person?" Sha Chu denied Ye Yuzhen's idea.
"Can we talk to them and ask them to keep the fighting confined to the arena?" Chu Jun said.
"Everyone is fighting for their own spot. When it comes to deciding the winner, who will care about so many things?" Sha Chu shook his head.
For a moment, no one had any good ideas. They racked their brains, and their hair fell out, but they still couldn't come up with a suitable plan.
"Change the rules." Chuqi, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly spoke.
"How to change it?" Sha Chu and others looked at Chu Qi.
Chu Qi thought for a moment before speaking: "Just like in a shooting competition, it's impossible to let two shooters snipe against each other."
"What you mean is that we design a rule and let them decide the winner through the rule rather than by fighting hard?" Sha Chu immediately understood what Chu Qi meant.
"I think this idea is feasible." Chu Jun said.
"It is feasible, but the design of the rules requires some effort. If there is no competition, the excitement will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to attract attention as easily as a competition." Sha Chu was considering how to design the rules.
"We still have time to design the rules. Even if the effect is not as good as in a battle, it is better than something going wrong during the game." Chu Jun said.
Sha Chu nodded slightly: "Then let's do this for now. Go back and think about how to design the rules. Everyone should come up with a plan and we will have a meeting to study it. After we have finalized the plan, we will report it to the city lord."
"I don't think it's necessary to make it so complicated. A battle is nothing more than a test of strength, speed, symbiotic contract and magic spirits. We can just separate these events and hold individual competitions." Chu Jun said.
"That's fine. Write me a detailed plan." Sha Chu looked at the others and said, "Each of you should come up with a plan, and the city lord will make the final decision."
"When will the city lord come?" asked Chu Jun.
"According to the time, he should be here by now. But he hasn't come yet. Maybe something has delayed him." Sha Chu was also a little confused. Li Xiu hadn't contacted her recently. She didn't know what had happened.
While they were discussing, Li Xiu and Li Qingyi were still watching the ice platform from afar. It had been several days, and the ice tiger had no intention of leaving the ice platform. At most, it moved around near the ice platform, as if it was taking a walk, and had never left the range within a hundred meters of the ice platform.
Seeing that there were only ten days left until the Trial Competition, Li Xiu had no better choice but to wait.
But he was not in a hurry at all. In recent days, he had been thinking about how to hit the vital point of Jiaotu.
That was a divine demon spirit, and a locked divine demon spirit at that. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity. It was too difficult to kill a divine demon spirit at ordinary times, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Li Xiu went to the deep pit several times and tried some methods, but his methods were not very effective against the gods and demons.
Except for the power of the Ultimate Light, which is not affected by the Light of Truth, other skills and light energy will be affected, making it almost impossible to touch the pepper.
The power of the Ultimate Light alone is not enough to get close enough to break the weakness of Jiaotu.
"It's not a solution to keep waiting like this. Is it possible to lure this ice tiger to Jiaotu and reap the benefits?" Li Qingyi has been thinking about how to get out.
"This place is hundreds of miles away from the pit. With our speed, I'm afraid it will be killed by the ice tiger before we can lure it to the pit." Li Xiu shook his head and said, "Even if we can lure it over, how can we let them kill each other? Maybe then these two gods and demons will unite to deal with us, which will be even worse."
"If there is really no other way, then we can only force our way in. Maybe my indestructible ice armor can hold out for a while." Li Qingyi pondered.
"If your Indestructible Ice Armor is the third form of Soul Forging, then you can give it a try. But there is no need to try it now." Li Xiu rejected Li Qingyi's suggestion.
"Your Trial Competition is about to begin. It's not a good idea to keep waiting." Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and said.
"Let's wait a little longer. The Trial Competition is not an important matter. It can be held without me." Li Xiu was unwilling to take such a risk.
The discussion was fruitless and there was no point for Li Xiu to stay here, so he went to the deep pit again and observed the pepper turtle from a distance.
He had tried it before, and Xue Linglong's power was almost invincible at the same level, so it was not difficult to kill ordinary ice demons.
However, under the divine light of truth of Jiaotu, Xue Linglong's power would also be diverted and would not be able to hurt Jiaotu at all.
"Only a god can kill a god?" Li Xiu touched the immortal chopsticks on his body. If this guy was reliable, killing Jiaotu would not be a difficult task. However, this guy did not listen to his command at all, and Li Xiu did not dare to pin all his hopes on it.
"The two cast souls condensed by the evil spirit card, the blue cast soul has the Yin cold attribute, and the red cast soul has the Yang strong attribute. The light energy of these two attributes can play a big role against ordinary evil spirits, but no matter how strong the light energy is, it is useless if it can't touch Jiaotu..." Li Xiu looked at Jiaotu and thought to himself: "If the Ultimate Light can cast souls, there is a chance to try, but where can I get some resources to upgrade the Ultimate Light to a cast soul?"
Li Xiu also thought about using the Super Bottle Suction to absorb Jiaotu's light energy, but Jiaotu's divine light of truth had too strange characteristics, and the Super Bottle Suction could not absorb his divine light of truth.
All light energy has been distorted by the divine light of truth. The light energy will only rotate in a circle and cannot be absorbed no matter how hard you try.
“It seems that I can only study the method of combining spiritual light with the other.” Li Xiu built a snow nest out of snow, huddled inside it and recalled the scene when he absorbed the divine light of the Butterfly God Contract. He wanted to figure out how light energy is combined with spiritual consciousness.
Because the divine light had already separated from his spiritual consciousness before he absorbed it, he could only work his way back, hoping to deduce a way to unite the divine light with his spiritual consciousness.
"It's a pity that the giant turtle's divine light was affecting me at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have used the ultimate light to resist and let the butterfly's divine light act on me directly. I should have figured out the method of combining spiritual light and unity." Li Xiu knew that it was useless to think about those things now, so he had to continue his research. Unfortunately, he was missing the most critical step and couldn't figure out how the two were integrated together.
"Light energy is a type of energy. In theory, spiritual consciousness should also be a type of energy. However, spiritual consciousness is too subtle an energy. It seems that it cannot directly act on ordinary matter. Only some special matter can indirectly react with spiritual consciousness, just like life itself. No one can explain why consciousness can control the body. We haven't even fully understood what consciousness is."
"The principle of the magic suit is somewhat similar to that of the living organism itself. It uses spiritual consciousness to activate the energy of the magic core. However, spiritual consciousness only plays the role of activating the magic core and has not truly integrated with the energy of the magic core..." Li Xiu thought about it and suddenly remembered the gold coin his sister gave him.
When the Three Immortal Corpses were killed, the golden light and shadow that came out of the gold coin, wasn’t that the combination of spiritual consciousness and energy?
Although that kind of combination is not a combination of spiritual consciousness and light energy, it is the result of the combination of spiritual consciousness and a certain energy that Li Xiu is not familiar with.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu hurriedly took out the gold coin and wanted to study it to see if there was any residual spiritual consciousness in the gold coin.
Li Xiu had tried to inject his light energy into the gold coin before, but the gold coin did not react at all. No matter how much light energy he injected, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Li Xiu held the gold coin and looked at it for a while, but still found nothing. He thought about it, put the gold coin on his forehead, then opened his spiritual consciousness and extended his spiritual consciousness directly into the gold coin.
What was strange was that after Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness entered the gold coin, it was just like before, like a stone sinking into the sea, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"I just don't believe it." Li Xiu released his spiritual consciousness and continued to strengthen it. The spiritual consciousness became stronger and stronger and almost condensed into substance. The spiritual consciousness on his forehead turned into white light and was shining like a vertical eye.
The gold coin with white light was directly injected with a large amount of spiritual consciousness.
boom!
Li Xiu suddenly felt his brain shake, and the gold coin actually shook his palm away and began to spin in front of his forehead.
As the gold coin rotated, Li Xiu originally took the initiative to inject spiritual consciousness into the gold coin, but now the gold coin was like a black hole, madly absorbing Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness.
Fortunately, Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. If it were an ordinary person, his spiritual consciousness would have been sucked dry and his body would have turned into a mindless walking corpse.
Even someone as spiritually powerful as Li Xiu couldn't help but frown when he saw the gold coins being devoured like a black hole.
Just as Li Xiu was hesitating whether to cut off the connection between his spiritual consciousness and the gold coin, the gold coin suddenly stopped devouring his spiritual consciousness.
The gold coin, which originally had a golden halo, was now emitting a white halo, perhaps because it had absorbed too much spiritual consciousness.
A white shadow rose from the gold coin and turned into a familiar figure that Li Xiu had seen once.
The only difference was that last time the light and shadow were golden, but this time they were white.
Li Xiu looked at the light and shadow of the white young man, feeling surprised and happy, but for a moment he suddenly didn't know what to say or do.
"Excuse me, are you Han Linger's father?" After being stunned for a moment, Li Xiu immediately regained his composure and asked while looking at the white light.
The white light did not answer his question, but just looked at him with a gentle fatherly gaze.
"My dearest little princess, do you miss your daddy? Do you have trouble falling asleep without your daddy? Don't worry, no matter where you are, your daddy will always be with you. My dearest little princess, let your daddy sing your favorite nursery rhyme to help you fall asleep... There is only one good daddy in the world... Children without daddies are like grass..."
Li Xiu stared in amazement at the white light singing nursery rhymes with a fatherly look on his face. If he was still a baby, such singing might make him feel very at ease, and that gentle look might make him feel very safe.
But he is now a man in his twenties. A grown man is standing in front of him and singing passionately to lull him to sleep. Li Xiu feels a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, he also discovered that this white light and shadow did not seem to have self-awareness, but was a video similar to a filmed image that would play automatically after being activated.
"This gold coin... When did Dad Han give it to my sister... It couldn't have been when my sister was a child..." Li Xiu roughly guessed the origin of this gold coin.
Judging from Han's father's expression and demeanor, his sister must have been very young when he gave the gold coin, and Han's father was probably not at home often, so he gave such a gold coin to his daughter.
But Li Xiu didn't quite understand why the last time he saw Han's father, he was not like this. He seemed to have independent consciousness, but this time he didn't have independent consciousness.
"Could it be that the last time the Three Immortal Corpses were killed, all of Han's father's consciousness that was left in the gold coin was consumed, leaving only this video..." Li Xiu guessed secretly.
Originally, I had spent a lot of my spiritual consciousness to activate the gold coins in order to study the art of combining spiritual light with reality. But who knew that this would result in such a video.
Li Xiu stared blankly at the white light and shadow as it sang a song. At the end, he made a heart shape with his hands and said, "My little princess, Daddy loves you." Then he disappeared.
Ding Dong!
The gold coin stopped spinning and fell to the ground. Li Xiu stood there in a daze for a while before he picked up the gold coin with a wry smile.
"Sister...you seemed very happy when you were a child..." Li Xiu picked up the gold coins with a wry smile.
Li Xiu did not give up. He put the gold coin on his forehead again, opened his spiritual consciousness again, and input his spiritual consciousness into the gold coin.
After a while, the gold coin really started to spin again, and the white light appeared again.
“There is only one good dad in the world... Children with dads are like treasures..." Li Xiu once again experienced a wave of ruthless fatherly love. The last part, "I love you", made Li Xiu so embarrassed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders around at the time. If he had been seen by outsiders, he would have felt more embarrassed than if someone had broken in on him while he was watching a romantic action movie.
Now Li Xiu can be sure that this is the image left by a father who often goes out for his little daughter.
But he didn't quite understand. Logically speaking, when Dad Han gave this thing to his sister, his sister must have been very young, otherwise Dad Han wouldn't have had that kind of expression and tone.
But if the elder sister got this gold coin when she was very young, how did she activate it and see those images?
You have to know the spiritual awareness required to activate this gold coin to play the image. Even Li Xiu now feels a little strenuous. The consumption of spiritual awareness is only one aspect. Using such a huge spiritual awareness will place a great burden on the body. Can a child's body support such a huge consumption and burden?
