Chapter 635 - 263: Undying and Unyielding
"If we don’t speak out, they might think only their technician group has people. Let them see what true overwhelming force looks like." Li Changmian snorted coldly and walked into the Martial Arts Arena.
Behind him, the orderly-ranked Trial Takers of the Li Family silently entered the arena.
A multitude of Li Family Trial Takers, dressed in identical attire, flooded into the Martial Arts Arena, silently occupying almost half of the stands, with numbers possibly in the tens of thousands.
The stands could no longer accommodate the Li Family’s Trial Takers, people were standing even in the aisles, and more Li Family Trial Takers moved to other areas of the stands, flowing like water into every spot where one could stand.
Even though all their actions were silent, the aura of the Li Family’s Trial Takers was even more terrifying than that of the technician group’s Magic Armor Masters.
The stands were filled with Li Family Trial Takers wearing the same clothes, while the colorful Magic Armor Master team looked somewhat like a ragtag army.
"Talking about overwhelming numbers, it seems Li Xiu really picked the wrong opponent." The old undead laughed on the high platform, "The Li Family has been developing in the Heavenly Longevity for thousands of years. Just those with the surname Li might number two to three hundred thousand, and when you add those with distant relations, they far outnumber the technician group, which is just a drizzle in comparison."
"Naturally talented Magic Armor Masters are already rare, and on top of that, Magic Armor Masters aren’t well received within Heavenly Longevity, so having two to three thousand is already very good, and they’re all S-class Magic Armor Masters, not just any Trial Takers can compare." Mo Wuya paused and continued, "But now these Magic Armor Masters are on strike and unwilling to guard the Trial Gate. If this continues, there could be big problems."
"One side between the Li Family and Li Xiu must be utterly suppressed, or this issue won’t be resolved." The old undead squinted and said, "Let’s first see if Li Xiu can pass this trial."
Seeing the arena filled with Li Family members, the Magic Armor Masters couldn’t help but feel somewhat oppressed, and their aura was noticeably weaker.
Comparing the Magic Armor Master team to the Li Family, they were indeed pitifully few.
"Is Li Xiu going to be alright?" Jiuxiao Yun frowned sitting next to Jing Li.
"Commander will surely win." Jing Li said flatly.
Hearing Jing Li’s words, Qian Zhongshan, Lei Qingfeng, Qiu Tianyu, and other Magic Armor Masters next to him turned to look at him.
They felt somewhat uneasy, even though the Magic Armor Masters pinned all their hopes on Li Xiu, but facing the Li Family that had been operating in Heavenly Longevity for thousands of years, it was surely deceptive to say they weren’t at all worried.
The Li Family was the president’s family, although not his direct bloodline, they were all surnamed Li. Through thousands of years, the other families experienced ups and downs, while of the Eight Great Families, only four remained.
Only the Li Family has continuously stood at the peak of power, never experiencing a low period.
"How can you be so sure Li Xiu will win?" Jiuxiao Yun asked the question that Qian Zhongshan and the others also wanted to ask.
Why does Jing Li seem so certain that Li Xiu can win, especially against a Twelve Vein Light Base powerhouse like Li Changmian?
"He doesn’t do things he’s not confident in." Jing Li said flatly.
"I can’t understand it, how could he, a Magic Armor Master, have the confidence to defeat Li Changmian? Li Changmian is a Twelve Vein Light Base, I’ve never heard of any Demon Armor with capabilities reaching the Light Base level." Jiuxiao Yun said.
"When he fought with me, did anyone think he could win? When he developed the Light Planting Technique, did anyone think it was possible before him? What seems impossible to others is just normal to Commander. Since he decided to battle Li Changmian, then Li Changmian is already destined to lose." Jing Li sat there like a serene Buddha and declared confidently.
Those slightly uneasy, like Qian Zhongshan and others, suddenly felt a bit more confident hearing Jing Li speak.
Li Changmian entered the Martial Arts Arena while Li Xiu, clad in Demon Armor, was already standing there.
"Are you... ready?" Li Changmian directly activated his Super Spirit State, an explosion of Light Vein power erupted, and his entire body was enveloped in those black-glowing scales.
Iron-like jade scales overlapped, forming in his hand that peculiar Scale Sword.
Li Xiu looked at Li Changmian calmly and said, "What preparation is needed? The profession of Magic Armor Master has existed for battle, for protection, since its inception."
Li Changmian replied coldly, "Well said, I hope your skill is as impressive as your words."
Then, Li Changmian raised the Scale Sword in his hand, "My sword is named Jiao Scale, since it accompanied me, I’ve been through thousands of battles, slaying countless demon spirits. For nearly twenty years, it has accompanied me in suppressing the Trial Gate, cutting down one hundred and forty-seven demonic spirits that broke through, forty-three were Super Spirits, seven were Light Bases. Tell me, among Magic Armor Masters born to battle, who has such achievements?"
"None." Li Xiu said.
"Since there’s none, what are you discussing about being born for battle, proclaiming existence for protection? The ones truly safeguarding this world are us Trial Takers." Li Changmian declared.
"True, in terms of demon slaying merit, all Magic Armor Masters combined are not your equal." Li Xiu said slowly looking at Li Changmian, "But I have one question I don’t understand, before you go slay the demon spirits, who guards the Trial Gate every day? Who engages in life-and-death battles as soon as the demons emerge? In front of that Trial Gate, who sheds the most blood?"
