When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 S-Class Trial

Li Xiu got up and left the room. He went to Old Gu’s old office where there was an independent bathroom, a toilet with a flush system, and a shower.

He revealed the beautiful outline of his muscles when he disrobed. Li Xiu used his left hand to touch his right shoulder and indeed, he found the edge of the dead skin that he had ripped off.

Li Xiu peeled off flakes of dead skin. It was unimaginable to have so much dead skin available to be peeled off from a person.

His finger swiped across his scalp and dead skin fell like dandruff. Li Xiu didn’t know if there was any difference between the two, but he felt his scalp tingle.

The dead skin looked disgusting and strange, but when it was peeled off, there seemed to be an indescribable comfort in his heart.

After more than half an hour, Li Xiu peeled off a body’s worth of dead skin. If all the dead skin was pieced together, it would be a complete human skin.

After confirming that there was no more dead skin on his body, Li Xiu washed all the dead skin fragments into the septic tank.

After taking a shower, Li Xiu carefully checked his body and didn’t find any discomfort other than the dead skin he had just torn off.

Beneath the dead skin was tender new skin. It was rather well-developed. There was no bleeding from peeling his dead skin.

There weren’t any pigmented scars or spots on Li Xiu’s body. Even the old scars from his previous training were gone.

His skin was as fair and ruddy as a newborn, as though it was glowing.

If a woman obtained such skin, she would definitely go crazy with admiration. However, Li Xiu was somewhat worried. Could this be a poison or side effect left behind by the Demon Spirit’s death?

Apart from molting, could there be other symptoms?

Even if it was just molting, it would be quite unacceptable if it happened once a day.

At this stage, he could only take things one step at a time. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, Li Xiu returned to the room where Bandit was.

“What took you so long? It’s almost time,” Bandit, who was packing, said without looking up when she heard Li Xiu’s footsteps.

“While there’s still some time, let’s confirm our choices we previously agreed on.” Li Xiu didn’t answer Bandit. He sat on the bed and recited the choices they had previously agreed on.

“Getting each one right; your memory is excellent. There’s no need to rehearse again.” Bandit was still packing. She had found many useful things in the base and planned on taking them with her.

“Your memory should be good too, am I right?” Li Xiu said as he looked at the busy Bandit. All he could see was her back.

Bandit stopped what she was doing when she heard that. She turned around and glared at Li Xiu. “If you don’t believe me, you can find someone else to participate in the World’s End trial.”

Li Xiu looked straight into Bandit’s eyes, but he didn’t say a word. He only silently picked up the backpack that he had already packed and the Demon Suit box. After getting up, he said, “Let’s go. It’s about time.”

The two of them arrived in front of the blue stone gate again. Bandit timed it perfectly by taking out the remaining sapphires from a box left behind by Old Gu and the rest and embedded them in the grooves of the stone

gate.

All the grooves lit up when they were embedded with a gem. This was followed by the patterns on the gate before the stone door slowly opened.

The two of them exchanged looks and entered one after another.

It wasn’t the familiar arena. Li Xiu realized that he was on a platform at the peak of a mountain.

The mountain peak was like a sharp sword that stabbed into the clouds. Li Xiu looked down and could only see the sea of clouds and a sharp cliff.

The platform was square with five-meter-long sides. In the middle stood a one-meter-tall cylinder. There were two buttons on the dome-one black, one white.

Apart from that, there was nothing else, nor was there any sign of Bandit.

“Welcome to the Sea and Sky Trials. The S-level trial has begun. Number of people in the trial: 2. Team automatically assigned. The final trial has begun. The rules are as follows…”

Above the sea of clouds, a floating screen appeared.

After Li Xiu read the rules, he realized that they were basically the same as the rules that Bandit had mentioned, but they were slightly different.

Bandit mentioned a total of ten questions, but the rules provided to Li Xiu indicated eleven questions. The eleven questions formed one round, and there was no reward before completing one round.

Furthermore, Bandit had said that her trial only had one button, not two.

Is the number of questions different every trial, or did Bandit give a wrong number? Li Xiu frowned in thought.

The trial didn’t give Li Xiu much time to think. After the countdown ended, the first question appeared on the screen.

“Black or white, choose one answer. Both people in the team need to choose the same answer. If the answer isn’t the same, it will be considered a failure of the team’s trial… Countdown beginning…”

If it were two people who entered the World’s End trial for the first time, they wouldn’t have a chance to communicate. The chances of answering this question correctly were 50%.

They needed to give the same answer for all eleven rounds. The chances of survival were unimaginably low.

Furthermore, this was a double defeat. If one died, both would die. The S-class trial had a much higher mortality rate than previous trials.

However, the two of them had already made an agreement and they had formulated more than one plan. Therefore, even if it was a little different from the agreement, there was still a way to form a tacit understanding.

Li Xiu glanced at the black and white buttons and pressed the black button.

The two of them had previously agreed that if there were two choices, they would choose the first one.

If he chose the wrong answer, Bandit would also die. Li Xiu wasn’t worried that anything would crop up on Bandit’s end.

“The team’s answer is unanimous. First question, cleared. We will proceed to the next question after the countdown.”

There were no physical enhancement rewards between the questions. Soon, they began the second question.

“Are you male or female? White button for male; black button for female…”

If there was no tacit agreement, it would be difficult to choose between a man and a woman. Thankfully, the two of them had already come to a tacit understanding.

Without any hesitation, Li Xiu chose the white button and successfully cleared the trial again.

The first few questions were cleared by prioritizing the first few answers, but when it came to the fifth question, this method failed.

“What color do you like? Countdown begins… Ten… Nine… Eight…”

Li Xiu frowned as he looked at the black and white buttons in front of him. He could only choose black and white, but which one should he choose?

There was no sequence to the answer, nor was there any way to communicate with Bandit. The ten-second countdown was about to end.

The two of them had previously discussed many possible situations, but they didn’t include such questions. Perhaps it was because Bandit had already participated in the World’s End trial that the difficulty of the trial had increased.

Black or white?
