When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Entering the Arena Again

When Li Xiu pressed the white button, the final countdown ended.

Li Xiu subconsciously looked at the bracelet. It didn’t explode. At the same time, he heard the cold electronic voice: “As one party has forfeited, you have passed the S-class trial and obtained all the team’s rewards. The reward is being randomly generated… You can choose two rewards…”

“This is the best choice.” Li Xiu nodded slightly and muttered to himself.

He didn’t trust Bandit, and it was impossible for Bandit to completely trust him. The first ten questions were enough for the two of them to understand each other’s personalities.

Bandit should know that with Li Xiu’s unyielding personality, it was impossible for him to leave his fate in her hands. She didn’t want to risk her life for nothing either, so she could only choose to forfeit. This was a choice that only Bandit could make.

Furthermore, the reason Bandit participated in the trial was to help Li Xiu obtain the skill. The safest way for Li Xiu to obtain the skill was also made available-a choice Bandit had to make.

Bandit didn’t disappoint Li Xiu either. She ultimately chose to forfeit. The tacit understanding between the two still existed.

Four symbols appeared on the screenTalent, Stats, Demon Core, and Admission Ticket.

No skill? Feeling the pain from the bracelet, Li Xiu was slightly disappointed, but only a little.

те

An S-class stat enhancement was definitely better than the typical enhancement. It might even allow Li Xiu’s physique to improve significantly.

S-class Demon Cores were core materials needed to create S-class Demon Suits. All the Demon Suiters in the world who had S-class Demon Suits were first-rate Demon Suiters.

Li Xiu didn’t know what an S-class talent was because there weren’t many trial-takers with an S-class talent. Even if someone had an S-class talent, they probably wouldn’t reveal it to others.

The admission ticket was an inevitable choice for Li Xiu. If he missed this opportunity, he didn’t know when he would be able to come to the Sea and Sky Trials again.

Jin Zhenhuan had said that the Sea and Sky Trials belonged to Longevity Heaven.

Li Xiu had heard of the organization known as Longevity Heaven. It was extremely mysterious.

This organization had been very active ever since the Demon Spirits emerged. It had a very bad reputation and exploited the chaotic times for resources.

It was said that Longevity Heaven controlled a large number of Trial Gates and was one of the first organizations to explore them.

There were many Demon Suiters and trial-takers in Longevity Heaven, but due to their clandestine actions and cruel methods, no one knew where the headquarters of Longevity Heaven was.

If the Abyss Base was really established by Longevity Heaven, it would probably be very difficult for him to come here again in the future. This was also why Li Xiu would rather take the risk to stay a little while longer to complete the S-class trial.

He was only the number one Demon Suiter in the world—not the most powerful person in the world. Even the S-class Demon Suit, Safflower, was provided through a partnership.

After deciding on the admission ticket, Li Xiu chose the S-class talent.

Although there were very few S-class Demon Suits, Li Xiu was a Demon Suiter who controlled one, despite the S-class Demon Suiter not belonging to him.

As for stats, he could slowly accumulate them in the future, so there was no rush.

Li Xiu had hesitated between stats and talent. Picking up the blood-patterned revolver required physique. Otherwise, it would be useless.

It looked like stats were the best choice, but Li Xiu ultimately chose talent.

After these few trials, his physique had clearly improved. If such a physique was still unable to move the blood-patterned revolver, the situation wouldn’t be much better even with the S-class stat enhancement.

There wasn’t much of a difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps. Li Xiu estimated that even with the S-class enhancement, he probably wouldn’t be able to lift the blood-patterned revolver.

The reason he wanted to enter again was mainly to resolve the few doubts in his heart.

At the instant he chose ‘talent,’ a beam of light shot out from the screen. A heart-shaped blue gem appeared in front of Li Xiu.

There were countless tiny cuts on the gem. Every cut shimmered with a blue glow, as though the stars in the sky were condensed on that tiny blue gem.

When Li Xiu’s finger gently touched the gem’s core, he immediately felt a coldness in the form of a blue stream of light enter his body through his finger like a galaxy.

Li Xiu felt as though he had fallen into an ice cavern. He felt cold from the inside out and his entire body was numb from the cold. After the terrifying cold swept through his body, it surged crazily towards his heart.

His heart froze without an iota of feeling, as though it had stopped beating. The feeling of his body lacking any vitality was something Li Xiu would never forget.

After a long while, the coldness gradually receded and Li Xiu’s body gradually regained consciousness.

Ice Heart: S-class talent, immune to the freezing effects of most freezing skills.

The Ice Heart talent was indeed inferior to a godly skill like Forfeit, but it was a pleasant surprise to Li Xiu.

This was because the blood-patterned revolver had a freezing cold aura. When Li Xiu previously tried to lift it, his fingers were quickly frozen. He couldn’t hold the revolver for long.

With the Ice Heart talent, at the very least, he wouldn’t be affected by the coldness.

After obtaining Ice Heart, Li Xiu chose the admission ticket.

The remaining two rewards vanished as the admission ticket symbol projected in front of Li Xiu, turning into a blue vortex that pulled him into the strange place again.

Stone table, oil lamp, blood-patterned revolver, and the strange metal sarcophagus.

Unlike the last time, Li Xiu knew that there wasn’t much time. In about ten minutes, he would be teleported away. He had to find the answer he wanted in this period of time.

Li Xiu ignored the metal sarcophagus and the Demon Spirit inside as he reached out to grab the blood-patterned revolver on the table.

The ring pattern on his finger appeared and emitted a red glow. It was Frenzy that allowed Li Xiu to unleash 120% of his physique.

When his fingers touched the handle of the blood-patterned revolver, he immediately felt a chill surge over him, making him shiver.

Only then did Li Xiu realize that Ice Heart could only nullify a freezing effect, but it couldn’t completely withstand low-temperature damage.

In other words, no matter how low the temperature was, Li Xiu’s body wouldn’t freeze, but low temperatures could still injure him.

However, he could clearly sense that the coldness was much weaker than previously. It was still temporarily tolerable—an obvious effect of Ice Heart which had a certain effect on low temperatures, but not total immunity.

Grabbing the handle of the gun with both hands, he unleashed the full might of Frenzy. Li Xiu tried his best to lift the blood-patterned revolver.

The blood-patterned revolver only wobbled left and right slightly without any indication of leaving the table.

Just as Li Xiu had expected, his strength was far from enough to pick up the blood-patterned revolver.

In fact, Li Xiu didn’t have much hope. His goal wasn’t just that.

He grabbed the blood-patterned revolver with both hands and continued exerting strength, turning the muzzle of the blood-patterned revolver towards the metal sarcophagus.

Now, Li Xiu wanted to verify one of his suspicions. Was this blood-patterned revolver used to kill the Demon Spirit in the metal sarcophagus?

At the instant the muzzle was aimed at the metal coffin, the blood-red eyes on the metal sarcophagus opened again and stared intently at Li Xiu. They were filled with resentment and anger. At the same time, an invisible force descended on him.
