Chapter 692 - 282: The Old Residence
Ximen Guan looked at the still smoking Light-Speed Spear and just felt a toothache.
Li Xiu was already prepared to face the storm, but this time, Ximen Guan unexpectedly did not lash out at him.
"The body of the Light-Speed Spear can already withstand high-intensity Demonic Light explosions, but the components connecting the energy core and the spear body still aren’t strong enough. It’s not a big deal; I can experiment with new materials, and sooner or later, we can solve this problem." Ximen Guan scrutinized the Light-Speed No. 3, about the size of a box, in Li Xiu’s hand and said, "Leave the Light-Speed No. 3 for testing as well."
"The Light-Speed No. 3 didn’t endure too much energy output, it should be fine," Li Xiu said.
The main concern was that the Light-Speed Spear endured a large amount of Demonic Light explosions, while the Light-Speed No. 3 did not suffer much damage.
However, it can be observed that the Light-Speed No. 3 itself can withstand more Demonic Light than the previous Light-Speed No. 2.
If it were the Light-Speed No. 2, just those four energy core explosions would almost be enough to damage it.
"Even though the Light-Speed No. 3 endured less Demonic Light, we can’t guarantee that there will be no issues with those components, so let’s check them. It’s better if there’s no problem, and if there is, replace them quickly to avoid issues during the next use." Ximen Guan was very calm this time, not only not angry but also planning ahead for Li Xiu’s future.
"Alright." Since Ximen Guan was willing to help him, Li Xiu was naturally more than happy.
From start to finish, Ximen Guan didn’t angrily lash out at Li Xiu, making Li Xiu somewhat unaccustomed for a while.
As he was leaving, after repeatedly confirming, Ximen Guan smiled at him: "I didn’t know the reason before. Now I know it’s because the Demon Armor couldn’t withstand the explosion of the Demonic Light. This isn’t related to you. It’s my Demon Armor that isn’t up to standard, so how can I blame you? If you had clarified the reason before, I wouldn’t have lashed out at you. For a Magic Armor researcher, a Magic Armor Master like you is a dream come true, so how could I blame you? The more Demon Armor you break, the happier I am."
"That’s good." Only then did Li Xiu leave at ease.
Before he left, Professor Xu allowed him to take the repaired Demon Armor Master back with him. Li Xiu shouldn’t go without any Demon Armor, as it’s too dangerous.
After returning home, Li Xiu took out the Spirit Casting Treasure Bead and the Peacock War God’s Demon Core.
Both objects contained a large amount of energy, but unfortunately, they were not compatible with the Forbidden Spear’s attributes; otherwise, they could have been used to enhance the Forbidden Spear’s level without much effort.
"With this Demon Core, I won’t need to embed so many core energies when using the Light-Speed No. 3 in the future. Just this one is enough." Li Xiu put away the Demon Core and toyed with the Spirit Casting Treasure Bead.
The Spirit Casting Treasure Bead is a transparent spherical gemstone, only the size of a ping pong ball, but the internal light energy is astonishing, with the golden peacock being the concentrated light energy.
"This thing should be very valuable. Should I sell it to exchange for resources?" While Li Xiu was considering this, the Golden Dinner Knife suddenly leaped out by itself, flying up and landing on the table.
Li Xiu quickly gripped the Spirit Casting Gemstone, hiding it behind his back. After the previous incident with the Fire Lotus Sword, Li Xiu wasn’t about to let these things mess with his stuff easily.
As if seeing through Li Xiu’s thoughts, the Golden Dinner Knife said disdainfully, "Does the king covet that broken Spirit Casting Treasure Bead? You’re underestimating the king."
"You jumped out yourself with nothing else to do to scare people," Li Xiu said casually.
"I didn’t want to come out either. It’s that master who sent a message, asking you to go home. She’s going back soon and hopes to see you," the Evil Luo King said.
"My sister is coming back?" Li Xiu was overjoyed but then felt something was off and stared at the Golden Dinner Knife, asking, "When was the message relayed? Why don’t I know about it?"
"This is hard to explain..." the Evil Luo King hesitated.
"I have plenty of time, you can explain slowly," Li Xiu said blandly.
"Ahem, it’s like this; that master’s power was left on my Golden Dinner Knife. She can use that power to vibrate the Golden Dinner Knife to transmit information, like sending an encrypted signal, but only I can receive this signal," explained the Evil Luo King, adding, "That master asked me to protect you, and I dare not harbor any ill intentions, so please be assured."
Li Xiu did not suspect the Evil Luo King of having any ill intentions. He just wanted to know how his sister was relaying messages to the Evil Luo King.
"Can you relay my words to my sister?" Li Xiu asked again.
"My lord, I don’t have such an ability," the Evil Luo King said, frustrated.
"Alright, when will my sister be home?" Li Xiu stopped asking further, planning to ask his sister directly when they meet.
"That master only said she’d be home in three days and asked you to go home early to wait for her," the Evil Luo King quickly said.
"Three days is tight, but still manageable." Li Xiu immediately put away the Spirit Casting Treasure Bead and got up to find Han Minghui.
"Commander Li, you’ve just returned, and you’re leaving again?" Han Minghui said with a smile.
"Is there a problem?" Li Xiu didn’t bother to say much.
"No problem. The president has already instructed that you can leave anytime if Commander Li needs to go out," Han Minghui readily signed and stamped.
As Li Xiu was about to leave, Han Minghui stopped him, saying, "Commander Li, do you plan to sell that Spirit Casting Treasure Bead? If you intend to sell it, I can buy it at a high price."
