Chapter 174: Goes Viral Online_3
But now knowing that the Jedi Warrior across from her is the Spirit of the Lord of Light City, she had no choice but to forfeit directly and retrieve the Silver Light Lion.
The ability to slash apart the S-Class Magic Armor, Anger Celestial Venerable, with a single strike, just this terrifying attack power alone is not something the Silver Light Lion can withstand.
Bai Zai felt extremely stifled; she never expected such a result—only one round in the Magic Spirit Competition, and it ended with the opponent she wanted to defeat, without even the courage to fight.
Li Qingyi laughed and said, "No wonder the Lord of Light City doesn't want the Silver Light Lion. With a spirit like the Jedi Warrior, the Silver Light Lion is indeed useless to him. If it were me, I'd definitely invest all my resources in the Jedi Warrior."
"Hmph, he's lucky. If my own spirit were competing, his Jedi Warrior would be out of luck as well," Bai Ying said, looking unconvinced.
"Alright, we're here to help, so why does winning or losing matter?" Li Qingyi consoled.
"Losing doesn't matter, but I don't know why—it feels uncomfortable losing to him. If I ever get the chance in the future, I must have my spirit battle his Jedi Warrior," Bai Ying said.
The first round of the Magic Spirit Competition was quite successful, and afterwards, people were discussing various spirits.
Aside from the Jedi Warrior and the Black Death Demon King, there were several other winning spirits that garnered significant attention.
Like Li Qingyi's Snow Princess, there was also a Thunder Magic Wolf and a Rock Man, all of which received a lot of attention.
Now, the internet is filled with videos and discussion posts about the Magic Spirit Competition, and many have started predicting which spirit will win this year's championship.
Li Xiu and the others didn't have the leisure to care about these things, as many people were flocking to their shop in the city, wanting to buy Demon Spirit Rings and other items.
Many people were also inquiring about the Trial Ground and Trial Takers, with some impatiently buying a full set outright. Ye Yuzhen and A Fei have already led several teams into the Dark Maze for experience.
In just half a day, the income was already considerable, and coupled with the ticket sales for the Magic Spirit Competition, and other expenses such as food and lodging, this time they truly made a fortune.
The entire day passed without any unexpected events, appearing very calm.
Yet it was merely the calm before the storm, troubles already on the way.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Space City, Guan Jinghao sat on a sofa watching Li Xiu's speech at the opening ceremony.
From Li Xiu taking the stage, summoning the Love God Shooter, then summoning the Jedi Warrior to kill Jia Bo, and finally announcing the official start of the Magic Spirit Competition, this short video is something Guan Jinghao has watched countless times.
"Sir, is this person very special?" The Rakshasa Liu Qihong asked lazily, leaning on the sofa, her beautiful figure forming an S-shaped curve.
In this beautiful scene, Guan Jinghao didn't glance even once, holding the remote to rewind the video for another view.
"Finally met you." Guan Jinghao murmured to himself.
In the three years Li Xiu worked for Space City, he has always taken care to protect his privacy and safety, and apart from being at his residence, he is generally always wearing Magic Armor.
Aside from Bai Qiuyi, even Guan Jinghao has never seen his appearance.
Bai Qiuyi holds quite a status in Space City, seemingly second only to Guan Jinghao. The fact Li Xiu could enjoy such treatment was the result of Bai Qiuyi's scheming for him.
Although never having seen Li Xiu's appearance, Guan Jinghao can be certain that Li Xiu is definitely the one codenamed Red Blossom Man—he was certain the first time he laid eyes on him.
The Red Blossom Man code name was initially not used for Magic Armor, but rather by Li Xiu himself.
"Sir, do you know him?" Liu Qihong asked charmingly.
"Know him, known for a long time." Guan Jinghao said meaningfully, staring at the video of Li Xiu.
"This person does indeed have some skill, daring to defy the world's disapproval by organizing such a Magic Spirit Competition; can be considered a figure. However, if things continue this way, it will greatly affect our Magic Armor business in Space City. Should I make a move?" Liu Qihong shifted position, sitting up straight, her front appearing exceptionally alluring.
"You're not his match." Guan Jinghao replied dismissively.
"Just a magic spirit at that, the latest Rakshasa Princess is finished, and it's perfect for testing its performance—killing an S-Class demon spirit isn't that hard." Liu Qihong said.
"Tell Asura and the others, without my orders, no one is allowed to go to the City of Light. You're all not qualified to take action against him." Guan Jinghao turned off the screen, set down the remote, and walked to the balcony, staring at the night sky, eyes showing complexity.
"Could he be someone from the Eternal Sky?" Liu Qihong asked in surprise.
Even when facing someone from the Eternal Sky, she hadn't seen Guan Jinghao exhibit such an expression, making her more curious about Li Xiu.
Guan Jinghao didn't answer her, just gazed at the night sky, murmuring quietly to himself, "Number 4, is this truly what you wish for?"
Many are speculating, thinking Space City and White Night City will definitely take action, not allowing the Magic Spirit Competition to continue shining so brightly.
Yet, contrary to expectations, neither Space City nor White Night City has made any moves, but another Magic Armor Master can't sit still, rushing toward the City of Light.
A stream of light traverses the sky, resembling a red comet.
If someone familiar sees it, they'll easily guess that it's not a comet, but a Magic Armor Master.
Currently ranked fourth in the world is Magic Armor Master "Tianliu." Tianliu is now hastily making his way toward the City of Light.
"Magic Armor Nine Classes, Tianliu first", this is what people say about Tianliu, this Magic Armor Master.
Tianliu might not be the strongest among Magic Armor Masters, but his Magic Armor ranks as the best among rated pieces.
The Tianliu Magic Armor is also the masterpiece of Space City's Number One Laboratory. When manufacturing the Tianliu Magic Armor, two exceptionally special S-Class Demon Cores were used as dual cores, an advantage not possessed by other Magic Armor.
Typically, Magic Armor can only have one core. If a multi-core setup is used, the energy output of two cores is unstable, and attribute discrepancies arise, causing various issues, making it challenging to achieve true balance.
Tianliu's Magic Armor is among the few capable of using a dual-core design, with its power and demonic light strength nearly twice as high as a single-core Magic Armor of the same level, hence the saying "Magic Armor Nine Classes, Tianliu first."
Tianliu has such capabilities yet is ranked fourth—not due to Tianliu's limited prowess, but because after losing to the Hand of God, he has seldom acted, focusing on researching how to overcome the Hand of God's techniques, thus his ranking remains at fourth.
Tianliu doesn't know Jia Bo and has no grievances with the City of Light; however, as a top Magic Armor Master, he must defend the dignity of Magic Armor Masters.
Magic Armor Masters can be defeated by other Magic Armor Masters but not by spirits—otherwise, as beings existing as nemeses to spirits, wouldn't Magic Armor Masters be a joke?
