When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Gate of the Berserker Ball

It wasn’t that Qin Shi’s reaction was slow, but that she was reeling from shock.

She had never seen anyone control an E-class Demon Suiter with such finesse. Even the top ten Demon Suiters might not be capable of such feats other than God.

In particular, the magic-like Demon Light Ball was unbelievable. For the first time, she realized that Demon Light Balls could be used in such a way. Even God had never displayed such techniques.

The other party was clearly the controller of an E-class Demon Suit, but it made her feel that there was no need to worry.

Qin Shi now understood why the huge Demon Spirit had suddenly released its grip on her. It had probably been struck by the Demon Suiter’s Demon Light Ball.

Seizing the opportunity opened up by the huge Demon Spirit’s injury, Qin Shi launched an onslaught of attacks and blasted apart the remaining two eyes of the Demon Spirit.

Under the barrage of attacks, the huge Demon Spirit’s damaged head was completely shattered. Its huge body collapsed, causing the ground to tremble.

After finishing off the huge Demon Spirit, Qin Shi searched for the Demon Suiter, but she couldn’t find him.

Who is that Demon Suiter? Does the Southern Cross Federation have such a Demon Suiter? Qin Shi was filled with questions.

While Qin Shi was fighting the huge Demon Spirit, Li Xiu had already left in the direction Qin Shi had come from.

Fighting Demon Spirits was the duty of Demon Suiters. Li Xiu didn’t wish to see a Demon Suiter capable of controlling an S-class Demon Suit be killed either, so he had helped.

He never expected the other party to react so slowly. She stood there stunned for an extended period without rejoining the battle.

This Demon Suit is too crappy. I have to think of a way to get an adequate Demon Suit, Li Xiu thought to himself.

Li Xiu now realized the benefits to the trials. The two Demon Light Ball strikes had used the principles of baseball—the first being a curveball and the second, a knuckleball.

However, Li Xiu was probably the only person in the world who could do such a feat.

“You are indeed a very powerful Demon Suiter,” Bandit, who had witnessed the entire battle, suddenly said to Li Xiu.

“Thanks for the compliment,” Li Xiu replied with a smile.

“I’m relieved. God is definitely not as good as you. As long as you have a high-level Demon Suit, killing him should be very easy,” Bandit continued.

“That’s hard to say.” Li Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart.

Tyro City was rather prosperous. When he saw the words “Tyro City,” Li Xiu frowned.

He naturally knew what kind of place it was. It was precisely because he knew this very well that he understood that his situation wasn’t looking good.

The Southern Cross Federation and the Space City he was stationed in had a rather bad relationship. There had even been many small-scale armed conflicts.

Due to its geographical location, there had been no direct conflict between Tyro City and Space City. However, as one of the main cities of the Southern Cross Federation, the space tunnel between Tyro City and Space City had already been closed. If one wanted to return to Space City, he could only return by land or sea since the possibility of returning by plane was non-existent.

Demon Spirits often appeared at sea, so the risk was higher. If there was no need, Li Xiu didn’t want to take the sea route.

If he walked on land, it was unknown how long it would take to return to Space City. There were many Demon Spirits lurking in the uninhabited areas along the way. It was probably not safe.

I need to think of a way to get a Demon Suit that I can make do with first. Li Xiu had never been worried about Demon Suits previously.

Space City was the city with the best Demon Suit technology. It was known as the holy land of Demon Suiters. Li Xiu could choose any of the best suits newly produced by all the top Demon Suit laboratories in Space City.

This was also one of the reasons Li Xiu was willing to join Space City back then. There was the best Demon Suit laboratory in the world and the most advanced Demon Suits. He could use any of the new Demon Suit prototypes for training. Countless prototype S-class Demon Suits had been damaged by him during training. They had even been turned to scrap metal under his extreme tests. It could be said that Li Xiu had broken more S-class Demon Suits than the number of S-class Demon Suits any other Demon Suiter had seen in their lives.

He had plundered some Demon Cores from the base. Although most of them were E-class and D-class, there were quite a number of them. In addition, he had obtained a few Demon Cores from the metal sarcophagus. It might be difficult to buy an S-class Demon Suit, but it was more than enough to exchange for an A-class.

However, in the Southern Cross Federation, Demon Suits were contraband. It wasn’t allowed to be sold privately. Li Xiu couldn’t reveal his true identity in the Southern Cross Federation, so it was also a problem to find a channel to purchase one.

Since he was already in Tyro, he could only take things one step at a time.

Li Xiu led Bandit to a motel and prepared to understand the situation here before making

plans.

When they entered the motel, the motel owner was watching a soccer match and didn’t have the time to entertain them. He only said that it was 300 bucks a night.

“How many days can this pay?” Li Xiu took out a one-carat sapphire and placed it on the counter.

The boss looked down and realized that it was a sapphire. His eyes lit up as he reached out his rough fingers to pinch the sapphire and rub it.

Soon, a smile appeared on the boss’s face. “Sir, how long will you be staying?”.

“I’ll leave it with you. I’ll stay here for the time being, so deduct the days from it. Get us two rooms and some food,” Li Xiu said.

“Alright, I’ll take you to your rooms.” The boss’s attitude was very warm as he led them to the rooms.

The guest rooms here were rather simple. They were just wooden houses without any air-conditioning. There was only a noisy fan in each room, and it was the kind with metal fan blades. It was obvious that they were antiques.

There was no bathroom in the room. If they wanted to go to the bathroom, they had to head to the yard behind where there was a public bathroom.

The only good thing about this crappy motel was that it had a hot spring pool. It allowed Li Xiu to take a comfortable bath.

The Southern Cross Federation was very rich, but ordinary commoners were poorer than peers in other places.

“How may I address you, Boss?” Li Xiu asked when the boss came to deliver the food.

“Just call me Old Luo,” Old Luo said with a smile. He had always been very easygoing with rich customers.

“Old Luo, is this very popular here?” Li Xiu pointed at the phone in Old Luo’s hand. It was showing a soccer game. The players looked like locals.

“It’s popular. It’s rather popular. If one can make a name for himself in the league, he might have a chance of being fancied by the castellan. He might be brought into the Golden Ball trial grounds and reap both fame and fortune…” Old Luo’s saliva splattered as he spoke. His face was filled with excitement as though he had already reaped both fame and fortune and had many wives and concubines.

From Old Luo’s description of his fantasies, Li Xiu finally knew why soccer was so popular in Tyro.

Tyro’s castellan had a trial ground known as the Gate of the Berserker Ball in his control. It was different from the Sea and Sky Trials. The Berserker Ball was a trial ground that had been fully understood. The trials inside had already been figured out by others, so the danger had long been minimized. As long as one didn’t tempt fate by attempting the final trial, there wasn’t much danger.

The Berserker Ball trial tested soccer. This was also why soccer in Tyro was so popular.

The castellan had used the soccer league to select trial-takers to earn Demon Cores for him in the Berserker Ball trial grounds.

Li Xiu originally wasn’t interested in the Berserker Ball trial ground, but something Old Luo unintentionally mentioned drew his attention.
