Xiao Er looked over subconsciously and his eyes widened immediately. He saw that the Hercules machine, which was like a bulldozer, had moved back more than ten meters, leaving a long drag mark on the hard ground poured with magic ash. On the screen of the Hercules machine, the value of 999 kept flashing.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with that woman? I saw that she only threw a punch, without even using the contract or the magic spirit, but how did she push the Hercules machine back more than ten meters? Is there something wrong?"
"The problem should be the display value. The Hercules machine was blown back more than ten meters, and the ground of the magic ash was blown up. It seems that this is not just a simple Hercules machine malfunctioning, right?"
"What is the origin of that woman? Her power is too terrifying."
"Is that really a power that a human body can possess? Is that still a human being?"
"She's so beautiful, but her strength is too scary. If we marry her and there's a conflict, my bones won't be able to withstand a punch from her."
"Can a trial-taker be this strong?"
As people were talking, Xiao Er felt his neck was a little stiff. He turned his head mechanically and looked at Li Xiu and asked, "Li Xiu, is this really your sister?"
"That should be the case." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Could she be a Soul Forging Level Trialist?" Xiao Er continued to ask with a strange look on his face.
"I think so. I'm not too sure." Li Xiu really didn't know what level Wan Chaochun had reached, but he was sure of the soul casting ability.
Xiao Er fell silent immediately, looking at Li Xiu and secretly complaining in his heart: "Is this guy trying to trick me? There are Soul Forging Level Trialists participating in the competition, so what's the point of me playing?"
"She is your sister, right?" Xiao Er asked Li Xiu with gritted teeth.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you?" Li Xiu looked at Xiao Er in confusion, wondering why he asked this question again.
"You know she is at the Soul Forging level, right?" Xiao Er asked again.
"I guess so." Li Xiu nodded.
"Then what did you mean by what you said that day? With your godsister around, why should I lead the way or be a beacon? Do you think I'm stupid?" Xiao Er questioned Li Xiu angrily.
"That's not the case. In terms of strength, you certainly can't beat the Soul Forging Class, but you are good at controlling multiple demon spirits. Who asked you to compete in strength with the Soul Forging Class? There are five events in the Trial Competition. You should choose the event you are good at. Who asked you to participate in the Hercules Battle?" Li Xiu said sternly.
"How should I know that there would be Soul Forging-level trialists participating in the competition? Why didn't you inform me earlier?" Xiao Er suddenly lost his temper. He had been thinking about taking all five crowns, and he had signed up for all the events.
"It's okay, just treat these projects as formalities. Your stage is the Demonic Frenzy project. Prepare well and let those ordinary trial-takers know that level does not represent everything. Absolute technology is just as powerful. Think about it, most of the trial-takers nowadays are not of high level. If they see that you can achieve what the Soul Forging Level trial-takers can do, or even do better than the Soul Forging Level trial-takers, what do you think they will think?" Li Xiu said, patting Xiao Er on the shoulder.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It seems to be a little interesting."
"It's more than just a little bit of meaning. If you really beat a Soul Forging Level Trialist, then you will not just be a beacon. You will be a god, a god believed in by ordinary trialists, a god controlled by many demons..." Li Xiu tried his best to prevent Xiao Er from asking for the 50 million back.
"You're right, the Demonic Frenzy is my stage..." Xiao Er's eyes became brighter and brighter, sweeping away his previous decadence.
On the field, Chu Jun rushed up with the referee and technical staff to inspect and test the Hercules machine.
"Please wait a moment. The staff is checking and testing the Hercules machine. There will be results later." After Chu Jun calmed everyone down, he waited for the results.
After testing, the Hercules machine did not have any malfunctions or damage and was still working normally.
It’s just that no one had thought that such a heavy Hercules machine could be directly knocked back by someone, so it was not fixed to the ground, but had a device similar to a brake.
After the results came out, Chu Jun immediately contacted Li Xiu and Sha Chu, and the three of them discussed the result.
The people in the audience and those watching the live broadcast were all paying attention to the results. The discussion online was extremely heated, and there were already several trending searches related to this incident.
The goddess descends to earth, the strongest trial-taker.
Is it divine power or a malfunction, or is it an invisible conspiracy?
The combination of strength and beauty, the strongest person in the world is actually a goddess.
The Hercules machine was damaged by Dali.
…
What people are most concerned about is whether Wan Chaochun's result counts. If there is a problem with this result and the Hercules machine breaks down, how will the next competition proceed?
Chu Jun, who had already discussed the results, returned to the stage and announced with a megaphone: "The data of the Hercules machine is true and valid. The machine has not been damaged or abnormal. The competition will continue later."
Chu Jun's words immediately aroused excitement at the scene. Chu Jun immediately continued: "Since the upper limit of the Hercules machine's numerical display is 999, if the contestants all hit the upper limit of 999, then the distance the Hercules machine retreats will determine the winner. All future rules will refer to this standard."
As Chu Jun spoke, he first punched the Hercules machine that had repaired the ground and returned to its original position. The number on the display jumped and finally stopped at 22. Then Chu Jun left.
The competition continued, some contestants were eliminated, and others passed the preliminary round, but no one could score over 100 points.
Wan Chaochun stood out among all the contestants and became famous all over the world in just one day.
Now almost everyone knows this beautiful and powerful female trial-taker. She is so popular that no one can match her and she has become the favorite to win the championship.
Most of the trial-takers who originally came from Changshengtian were unwilling to be too ostentatious. There was no need to show all their strength right away, so they were relatively restrained and most of them were just happy to pass the test.
Even those big guys at the Soul Casting level only achieved a score of 110.
But because of what Wan Chaochun did, the competition on the second day became extremely intense. It was only the second round, and one only needed to score 40 to pass. Some trial-takers had already directly entered the super-spiritual state and achieved a score of over 100.
The enthusiasm inside and outside the arena was immediately ignited. The trial participants, contracts and demon spirits who burst out in the super spiritual state, bloomed with brilliance that was dazzling and made people drool.
It was only then that ordinary people outside realized that there were so many powerful beings among the trial-takers.
"Oh my god, this is a real competition! What kind of shit were those cities holding before? There wasn't even one super spirit. How many super spirits are there here?"
"Super Soul is so cool, even cooler than the Magic Costume Master."
"Where on earth did so many Super Spirit Trialists come from? They are too powerful!"
"The City of Light is indeed a holy land for trialists. This competition is so well organized."
"That demon is just like the dragon in the legend. It's so domineering!"
"Isn't that the legendary demon?"
"alien!"
The explosion of various super spirit contracts and magic spirits made the competition extremely intense, but there was only one person like Wan Chaochun who could score 999.
The other soul-casting masters did not join in the fun in the second round, and still maintained a score of 110 to enter the next round.
When it was Wan Chaochun's turn, the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was ignited, the cheers from the stands were deafening, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room almost covered the screen.
Wan Chaochun showed no mercy and scored 999 again, and the Hercules was blasted back more than ten meters.
"Too strong, it turns out that my goddess is strong enough."
"It seems that in this Trial Contest, there is no doubt that the goddess will win first place. It depends on whether she can win the Five Crowns."
"That's not the case. I think there must be some big guys with hidden strength among those participating in the trial, waiting to make a splash in the finals!"
Li Xiu was very satisfied with the results of the competition, but he had little interest in the competition itself. There was basically no suspense about the top five.
"Come and take a look at this." A Fei, who was in charge of watching the monitoring room, suddenly came to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu followed A Fei to the monitoring room. A Fei asked the staff to open several videos and play them one after another.
The content of the video is all about a comparison of a contestant, who is an inconspicuous young man. His result in the first round was not very impressive, only 24. In the second round, the contestant's score became 42. He barely passed both rounds.
Such results were not outstanding among the participating trial participants, and Li Xiu had never paid attention to him before. However, A Fei specifically found out his surveillance footage, and there must be something wrong. Li Xiu looked at it carefully for a while and found something abnormal.
"This trial-taker's contract is quite interesting." Li Xiu said as he looked at the image.
"Take a look at these again." The bandit asked the staff to play several other videos.
After reading it, Li Xiu understood what Ah Fei meant and asked, "What do you think?"
"This trial-taker is cheating. I suspect his contract can affect the numerical display of the Hercules machine." Ah Fei directly stated her judgment.
Li Xiu looked at the contract of the trial-taker in the video. It was a strange arm guard.
Generally, arm guards are relatively complete units that cover the arms and palms, and even protect the fingers.
This trial-taker's arm guard only protects the wrist and part of the forearm. It is more like a wrist guard than an arm guard, but it is larger than a wrist guard.
What's even weirder is that there is a round dial on the arm guard, and the rest of the place is made up of gears meshing together.
Li Xiu had just noticed that there was a circle of numbers on the dial. Unlike a real watch, the numbers in that circle were from 0 to 9, a total of ten numbers.
When the trial-taker punched the Hercules machine, two of the numbers on the dial glowed faintly.
In the first round, the numbers 2 and 4 on the dial glowed faintly. In the second round, the numbers 2 and 4 on the dial also glowed faintly. The glowing numbers were the same, but the order in which they lit up was different.
In the first round, 2 lit up first, but in the second round, 4 lit up first. The values were so coincidentally similar to his test scores that one cannot help but wonder whether his arm guard symbiotic contract could affect the numerical changes of the Hercules machine.
"Do you want to call him over to confirm?" The bandit looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"There's no evidence, and it's useless to retrieve it." Li Xiu shook his head.
"If we don't solve this problem now, what if he can really manipulate the values of the Hercules machine and something goes wrong on the field, it will be difficult to resolve." A Fei said.
"The symbiotic contract of this trial-taker is quite interesting. I will go and meet him in person." Li Xiu and A Fei discussed for a while and decided to meet the trial-taker in person.
This trial participant was staying in the hotel provided by the City of Light for the contestants, so it was not difficult for Li Xiu to find him.
I looked through the registration information of the trial-taker. This person's name is Sima Bushi, but I don't know if it's his real name. The region he belongs to is the Gem Peninsula, which is the former Sri Lanka, and it is also a region rich in gems.
However, since the arrival of the evil spirits, the place has been in a state of chaos. Many forces want to seize the gem mines there, but no one has been able to gain a foothold. Today a force occupies part of the Gem Peninsula, and tomorrow it will be driven away. The war has never stopped.
After dinner, Sima Bubiao had just returned to his room to rest when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Sima asked without any vigilance.
"Contestant Sima, can I talk to you?" A strange male voice sounded outside the door.
Sima Bubiao walked to the door, looked out through the peephole, and saw a man standing outside with a smile on his face.
When Sima Bubiao saw the man's appearance clearly, his heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and opened the door.
"City Lord Li, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?" Sima Bubiao stood at the door and had no intention of inviting Li Xiu in.
"Can we come in and talk?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Sima Bubiao hesitated for a moment, but finally made way: "City Lord Li, please come in."
"Are you used to living here?" Li Xiu sat down on the sofa and asked gently.
Sima Bubiao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Xiu to say this.
"The conditions in the City of Light are among the best in the world. Ordinary people like me can't afford to live in such a house at home," said Sima Buping.
"You have passed the second round, and your level has surpassed more than 90% of the people on Earth. If this is considered normal, then what is 90% of the people?" Li Xiu smiled and continued, "I see that your hometown is the Gem Peninsula, but as far as I know, your surname should be from White Night City, right?"
"My grandfather's generation had already gone to the Gem Peninsula to develop their business in the gemstone business. Later, the family fell into poverty and could only make a living in the Gem Peninsula, which brought shame to our ancestors." Sima Bubiao looked at Li Xiu and said, "City Lord Li came to me, didn't you just want to know these things?"
"Why do you think it's not these?" Li Xiu asked Sima Bubiao with interest.
Sima Buping did not expect Li Xiu to say this, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"Are you interested in joining the City of Light?" Li Xiu continued.
"Lord Li, are you going to invite me to join the City of Light?" Sima asked, looking at Li Xiu in surprise.
"Yes." Li Xiu answered his question straightforwardly.
Sima Bub looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression and said, "There are many trialists who are better than me in the trial competition. Why did City Lord Li choose me? Or have other trialists also been invited by you, City Lord Li?"
"You are the first trial-taker I personally invited." Li Zheng said calmly.
Sima Bubiao stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Xiuxing: "I am very grateful to City Lord Li for his high regard for me, but I am really sorry that I cannot agree to your request."
"It doesn't matter. May I know the reason?" Li Xiu said indifferently.
"The city lord treats me like this. If I continue to hide the truth, it would be disrespectful to you. So I will just say it straight. I want to join Changshengtian." Sima Bubiao said.
"Join the City of Light and I can also send you to Eternal Heaven." Li Xiu said.
Sima Bubiao shook his head and said, "City Lord, you can hold a trial contest of this scale. I know you must have some kind of relationship with Changshengtian. It is even possible that you are a big shot in Changshengtian. I am really grateful that you think so highly of me, but I want to join Changshengtian myself."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you. If possible, can I know why you insist on joining Changshengtian on your own?" Li Xiu was a little puzzled as to why Sima Bubiao insisted on joining Changshengtian on his own.
This is obviously not common sense. There is a way out, but he insists on going by himself.
"To be honest, our family was able to gain a foothold in the Gem Peninsula, and I was able to embark on the path of a trial-taker, all because of the advice from the masters." Sima Bubiao hesitated for a moment, but still said it out loud.
"That man is from Changshengtian and a big shot, so do you want to join him?" Li Xiu said.
"Yes, so I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't know how to appreciate it, but people need to know how to be grateful. I hope the city lord can understand." Sima Bu said with an apologetic look on his face.
"Being grateful is a good virtue. You did the right thing. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." After a pause, Li Xiu continued, "Can you tell me which chief of Changshengtian gave you guidance? If I'm familiar with him, I can recommend you to him directly."
"I'm sorry, I promised that person that I would not reveal his name and origin." Sima Bubiao shook his head.
"It's good that people should keep their promises. I won't ask any more questions. You should have a good rest and prepare for the next round of competition." Li Xiu said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing Li Xiu walk out of the room, Sima Bub hesitated for a moment, called Li Xiu and said, "Don't worry, City Lord, I just want to let that benefactor know that I have become a trial-taker through the competition. I have no intention of causing trouble, and I will not compete for the top ten. I just want to get a decent ranking."
"Got it. Just focus on the competition. If you need my help, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me." Li Xiu waved his hand, and then really left.
"This City Lord Li is indeed an extraordinary person. If it were not for the purpose of repaying the great kindness of the Eighth Master, joining his sect would be a good choice. I originally thought that I could rely on the symbiotic contract to get a ranking, but I didn't expect to be seen through by the City Lord so quickly. Now I can't do anything rash. I don't know if the Eighth Master has discovered me." Sima Bubiao sighed lightly and closed the door.
