Chapter 5: Is it worth it?



The blood vessels felt sore, swollen, and the bulging blood vessels on the arms were visible to the naked eye, like small green snakes entangled and coiled under the skin. Even the tiny blood vessels swelled up and spread densely throughout the body.

This feeling lasted for a short time, and soon the blood vessels returned to their original state, the pricking sensation had long disappeared, and the bracelet also relaxed.

"Is this level of physical enhancement worth risking your life for? Will you never regret it until you die?" Li Xiu felt the changes in his body. Although he could feel that his body had been strengthened, this level of strengthening was meaningless for a magic armor master.

The magic armor master relies on spiritual consciousness or mental power to control the magic armor. The enhancement gained from the trial is only for the physical body and is completely useless to the magic armor master.

I have never heard of any human being becoming a magus maker by awakening his spiritual consciousness due to the enhancement of the Gate of Trials.

Such enhancement, even if it is done ten thousand times, is far less powerful than the magic armor master wearing magic armor. Physical enhancement is just an insignificant icing on the cake for the magic armor master and does not play a decisive role.

Li Xiu didn't understand why his best friend and comrade-in-arms would rather give up the noble status of a magic armor master and enter the Trial Gate to take the risk.

He was even seriously injured in the Trial Gate, but before he died, he still persuaded Li Xiu to enter the Trial Gate, saying that this was a man's paradise and where he should come.

"Is it worth it?" Until now, Li Xiu still cannot understand his friend's choice.

Because until the death of that friend, his physical combat ability was far inferior to that of a lowest-level magic armor master. What's more, Li Xiu was the world's number one magic armor master with the title of "God".

Two pigeon egg-sized objects, neither gold nor jade, with irregularly shaped magic cores flashing blue light inside, appeared out of thin air in front of Li Xiu.

He was not unfamiliar with this thing. It was the core material for making magic armor. In addition to the Gate of Trial, it could also be obtained by killing demons.

When Li Xiu stretched out his hand to grasp the two magic cores, a white light flashed on the bracelet, and he was teleported back to the stands. At the same time, two other people were teleported to the trial field.

The trial was extremely brutal. Among the more than fifty teams, less than one-third had both members survived. Some teams even perished together. The dark side of human nature was fully displayed.

When it was Ah Fei's turn to play, she kicked the football without saying a word, and the football flew straight to the center of the goal.

The goalkeeper was overjoyed and hugged the football with both hands, but the next second, he saw his feet leave the ground and both he and the ball crashed into the goal.

The newcomers were all stunned. No one could have imagined that Ah Fei, who was not very tall, could have such powerful strength.

The old man, who had already had dealings with the bandit, seemed to have known this would be the outcome and was not surprised at all.

The newcomer who teamed up with the bandit originally thought he had gained an advantage, but now he is filled with despair and regret.

He was injured while guarding the goal, and when it was his turn to kick the ball, he could only watch as Ah Fei controlled the ball with both hands.

With a desperate scream, the young man exploded and died.

"The first round of trials is over. You can leave the trial field after removing the trial ring. The next round of trials will begin after the countdown ends."

After the cold voice ended, a six-hundred-second countdown appeared on the screen again.

People took off their bracelets one after another and were teleported out of the trial field in a white light. Soon, there were only three people left in the trial field.

Li Xiu stayed in the trial field. He wanted to go to the end and see what was inside the trial field that was worth his friends risking their lives for.

As far as Li Xiu knew, his friend also entered the trial field for the first time here, and it was said that he also made it to the end.

However, even if it is the same trial field, the trial items and rules may not be the same, and he doesn't know what kind of trial his friend went through to reach the end.

The other two people who stayed behind were a bandit and a man in his twenties or thirties, over 1.80 meters tall, with brown hair, healthy and vibrant wheat-colored skin, and a very strong look.

"The second round of testing is about to begin. The rules remain the same. Please choose your teammates." The countdown started again.

The man suddenly walked towards Li Xiu and said, "There are only three of us left now. One of us must be unable to form a team and may be eliminated directly. That woman's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. She should be a trial participant who has been strengthened many times. We are both newcomers. It is the best choice for us to form a team. What do you think?"

Li Xiu glanced at Ah Fei and saw that she was completely indifferent and had no intention of stopping him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After the two shook hands, the number on Li Xiu's bracelet turned into 2, which means that this man's physical fitness is better than Zhao Lie and second only to A Fei.

"I'm sorry, I'm a newcomer to this trial field, but before coming to this trial field, I've been to other trial fields and have strengthened my body many times." The man smiled and said, "And unlike Zhao Lie, who is a half-baked person, I was once the top scorer in the real A-level league, for real."

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Li Xiu didn't care at all whether the man was new or old, or someone else.

"Number 1 has a bye and will advance directly to the next round. The trial begins." Along with that inhuman voice, Li Xiu and the man were teleported into the arena together.

Li Xiu stood in front of the goal again, acting as goalkeeper, while the man stood in front of the football.

"I think I should tell you my name. My name is Wu Luo." The man did not start playing football immediately, but introduced himself first.

"Wu Luo? The main striker of the Sun God team and the top scorer of the league? No wonder he looks familiar." Ah Fei said with some surprise when he heard the man's name.

"I didn't expect you had heard of my name. Are you my fan? It's really my honor." Wu Luo greeted A Fei like a gentleman.

Ah Fei did not talk to Wu Luo. In fact, she was not a football fan. It was just because her father loved football when she was very young, and she was often forced to watch football games with her father. Later, although her father was gone, she would occasionally watch football games alone, and then she knew Wu Luo.

Wu Luo is indeed a very good football player, and even a great shooter to a certain extent. A few years ago, he once broke the single-season goal record of a certain country's first-class league.

Unlike Zhao Lie, Wu Luo is a genuine top shooter.

Ah Fei looked at Li Xiu and saw that Li Xiu was not shaken by Wu Luo's reputation. He still stood calmly in front of the goal, posing a goalkeeping posture that was not very professional.

Ah Fei shook her head slightly. She had already seen that Li Xiu was by no means a professional football player, and was not even an amateur.

He was able to defeat Zhao Lie by relying on psychological tactics and Zhao Lie's cleverness.

Wu Luo and Zhao Lie are completely different. He not only possesses top professional skills, but also absolute power, which cannot be defeated by psychological tactics.

From a rational analysis, Li Xiu was bound to lose this battle, at least that was the opinion of A Fei.
