When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Absolute Order

Translator: CKtalon

Li Xiu didn’t explain, nor was there any need to.

“You win.” Bandit took a deep look at Li Xiu and chose to remove her bracelet before turning into a white light and disappearing.

She wasn’t completely confident of defeating Li Xiu, nor did she trust him. She wasn’t willing to cooperate with him, so she could only give up on continuing the trial.

It’s just a knuckleball. Is it that unbelievable? Li Xiu curled his lips and didn’t take it to heart. He had seen too many of such performances in the past and was already used to it.

The effects of talent and acquired experience from training were indeed shocking. Even the best friends who grew up with Li Xiu begrudged his talent.

This ability that was jokingly called “Absolute Order” by his friends was one of the main reasons why Li Xiu could become the strongest Demon Suiters.

Ordinary people might be able to have a photographic memory. Not only did Li Xiu have a photographic memory, but he could also perfectly replicate all the actions he saw. To put it simply, as long as his body allowed it, he could master any movement and technique he saw.

It sounded very simple. Anyone could master something as long as they practiced.

The key was that Li Xiu didn’t need any practice. All he needed to do was watch it once and he could mimic it flawlessly. He could even use it flexibly.

In Li Xiu’s own words, a scene was formed by countless nodes. If others drew a line, he could connect the same nodes to draw the same line. If others drew a painting, he could accurately connect all the same nodes without any deviation.

This theory was also applicable spatially. Li Xiu’s body could accurately grasp those points and rhythm. This was the result of a combination of talent and long-term training.

Li Xiu’s friends deemed such observational and physical control ‘robot-like.’

Of course, the premise of Absolute Order was that Li Xiu’s body could withstand it. Li Xiu couldn’t do anything that exceeded his body’s limits.

“The number of trial-takers is one. The final trial begins. Do you choose to participate? Countdown commencing. 10… 9… 8… 7…”

Li Xiu remained motionless as he waited for the countdown to end. Then, he was teleported into the arena again and stood behind a soccer ball. A white light flashed in front of the goal, and a figure appeared. It was Li Xiu himself, but the figure didn’t have a corporeal body. It was a phantom condensed from white light.

“Trial Puppet’s stats are based on the trial-taker. It possesses all the trial-taker’s skills. Furthermore, its skill level and stats are all 1.5 times that of the trial-taker. The rules of the final trial are as follows. The trial-taker has ten chances to shoot. Six out of ten is a pass. More rewards will be disbursed with higher points. Complete all the shots before the countdown ends. The trial begins!”

He was somewhat disappointed when he saw the rules of the trial.

His physique wasn’t strong. In theory, Wrow’s physique should be about 1.5 times that of Li Xiu’s.

As for skills, Li Xiu had never participated in the trial before, nor had he obtained any skills. It was impossible to double any skill.

In such a trial, the stronger the candidate was, the more difficult the trial became. Instead, it was people like Li Xiu who didn’t feel much pressure.

Li Xiu attempted to kick the ball. The physique of the Trial Puppet was indeed much stronger than Li Xiu’s. It was even better than Wrow.

However, it was useless. The Trial Puppet didn’t have Li Xiu’s mind. Although its reaction was fast and it was very skilled, it was too naive.

The knuckleball easily fooled the Trial Puppet, earning him a goal.

Li Xiu delivered ten consecutive knuckleball shots, all aimed in different directions. Although the Trial Puppet had some level of judgment and wanted to stop Li Xiu from scoring, it failed to even touch the surface of the ball.

When the last ball was a goal, the Trial Puppet vanished. A cold voice sounded again. “The final trial has been completed. Accumulated ten points—the maximum value. The reward list is being randomly generated. Please choose one of the rewards.”

Four symbols appeared on the screen, indicating: Skill, Demon Cores, Stats, and Admission Ticket.

Li Xiu had seen the skills of the trial-takers. They were indeed very magical. They were abilities that Li Xiu couldn’t mimic.

However, the energy produced by such skills was still far inferior to a Demon Suiter. They weren’t worth it for a Demon Suiter to risk his life for them.

There was no need to mention the Demon Cores and stats. Ordinary people could obtain Demon Cores when they entered the trial, so there was no need for a precious Demon Suiter to take the risk. Physical stats weren’t something a Demon Suiter needed, so there was even less need for them.

As for the admission ticket, Li Xiu had never heard of it before, nor did he know what it was.

Without any hesitation, Li Xiu chose the admission ticket.

With Li Xiu’s choice, the other three symbols vanished. The remaining symbol was projected from the screen, turning into a card with a strange symbol.

Before Li Xiu could take a closer look at the symbol, the symbol on the card lit up and emitted a strange blue light. Soon, it turned into a vortex of light that produced an irresistible force that pulled Li Xiu into it.

It was pitch-black all around. Only an ancient bronze oil lamp ahead of him was lit with a dim yellow light. The light was so dim that it could only illuminate the table under the oil lamp and a distance of about a meter.

With the help of the dim flames, Li Xiu could vaguely see a dark-blue object behind the table. It was about the height of a person and looked like it was made of some metal.

Li Xiu took two steps forward and came to the table to take a closer look. He realized that the surface of the thing was uneven and different. Its overall outline looked like a sarcophagus that held a mummy, but there were some differences.

Suddenly, two holes appeared on the sarcophagus-like object where the face would be. A pair of blood-red eyes appeared behind the holes.

The eyes were cold, bloodthirsty, and evil. Under the dim yellow light, they were demonic like the eyes of a ferocious ghost.

With just a glance, Li Xiu felt his back break out into a cold sweat. His body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, preventing him from moving at all.

“Demon Spirit!” Li Xiu smelled a familiar scent. Having fought Demon Spirits for years, he quickly understood what was inside the sarcophagus.

However, Li Xiu searched his memories and couldn’t think of anyone he knew who had such terrifying eyes.

Under the fixation of those eyes, Li Xiu’s body lost control as he walked towards the metal sarcophagus that imprisoned the Demon Spirit.

Li Xiu was alarmed. He had seen many powerful Demon Spirits, but he had never seen one so terrifying. Just the power of its gaze could control his body; he had no way of resistance.

Li Xiu didn’t dare imagine how he would fight such a Demon Spirit on Earth.

Even if he wore the most advanced Demon Suit, it was unknown if he could defeat such a Demon Spirit.

Suddenly, a blue light lit up on the metal sarcophagus like a blue electric current.

Li Xiu heard a painful scream coming from the metal sarcophagus. The Demon Spirit inside trembled as though it had been electrocuted. Then, the blood-red eyes vanished as the power that restrained him vanished.

Li Xiu was already covered in cold sweat after regaining control of his body. He panted heavily, but his gaze remained fixed on the metal sarcophagus.
