However, the character "Li" he wrote was completely different from the one Han Minghui had written. That "Li" character shone brilliantly, seemingly a tangible entity condensed from golden light, fixed on the table.

When the last stroke of the character "Li" was completed and Eighth Master was about to examine it, he suddenly exclaimed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a thud, staring in horror at the "Li" character on the table.

The character "Li," which was formed by the Celestial Inscription Light, had already disappeared without a trace.

Eighth Master struggled to get up, looked at the now blank table with uncertainty, and muttered, "Impossible, even if the Celestial Inscription Light can't detect the true Celestial Mandate, it shouldn't destroy my contract just by measuring fate... No one could have such a fate... Could it be that Old Fourth really isn't human..."

Li Xiu originally intended to go directly to Wansheng Town at the foot of the mountain, and from there enter the Trial Gate.

But thinking that both descending and ascending the mountain would require the Jedi Knights to carry them, Li Xiu thought of the Magic Armor Laboratory.

Although Li Xiu didn't plan to take over the Magic Armor Group just yet, as the Commander of the group, applying for a set of Demon Armor from the laboratory should not be a problem, and he could take the opportunity to see how far the Magic Armor Laboratory of the Everlasting Heaven had progressed in its research.

Fortunately, just now when Sha Chu was tallying the accounts, he noted the location of the Magic Armor Laboratory, and the two of them arrived outside the walls of the testing facility.

To their surprise, there was actually a doorbell installed here. After Sha Chu pressed the doorbell, the main door soon opened, and Lei Qingfeng walked out, looking sleepy.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?" Lei Qingfeng surveyed Sha Chu and Li Xiu with dissatisfaction.

He hadn't met Li Xiu before; let alone that Li Xiu was wearing a Bronze Mask, even without it, Lei Qingfeng wouldn't recognize him.

Seeing strangers, Lei Qingfeng immediately guessed, "You must be the Chief Technician Li Xiu, right?"

"It's me." Li Xiu replied with a smile.

"Come in then." Lei Qingfeng glanced at Li Xiu, lazily said, and turned away.

Li Xiu and Sha Chu exchanged glances, both feeling that this person was a bit too much.

After all, Li Xiu was at least nominally the Commander of the Magic Armor Group, yet this person acted with such indifference, seemingly not caring about Li Xiu's title at all.

"Without the Blood Seal Stone, the title of Commander is just an empty position." Sha Chu laughed as he said to Li Xiu.

Sha Chu didn't lower his voice, deliberately letting Lei Qingfeng hear it.

After hearing this, Lei Qingfeng shockingly replied without turning his head, "Even with the Blood Seal Stone, it's useless; this is the Magic Armor Group, not the Everlasting Six Groups."

Li Xiu and Sha Chu didn't know what he meant by this, but after entering the courtyard, they found it somewhat different from what they had imagined.

Li Xiu originally thought that even if the Everlasting Heaven didn't value the Magic Armor Group greatly, Magic Armor Masters were still the most effective combat force.

As long as there were Magic Armors and Magic Armor Masters, combat strength could be immediately formed, unlike Trial Takers who required a long time and enormous resources to cultivate. They were quite useful for guarding the Trial Gate.

However, now it seemed the situation in the Magic Armor Group might be worse than they had anticipated.

The courtyard was cluttered with all sorts of junk, and some damaged Demon Armors were just piled directly on the ground, discarded everywhere.

More alarming was that in the courtyard, there was a group of old men setting up tables and playing poker, with several of them having their faces plastered with paper slips.

"Hey fellas, we've got the new Commander of the Magic Armor Group here." Lei Qingfeng shouted from the side.

The old men glanced over, and after seeing them, they didn't even bother to greet and continued with their card game.

"What's going on here?" Li Xiu asked Lei Qingfeng.

Lei Qingfeng lazily said, "These old fellas are just researchers in the lab, not much to do usually, so they just play cards, chat, or sunbathe."

"Isn't the laboratory researching Demon Armor?" Li Xiu frowned.

"What's there to research about Demon Armor?" an old man interrupted while playing cards, "What we're lacking isn't Demon Armor, but Magic Armor Masters... four twos... bomb..."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu asked.

The old man, engrossed in his game, ignored Li Xiu.

As Li Xiu frowned, the door of the laboratory opened, and an elderly man who seemed quite proper walked out with a younger person.

"This is Professor Xu, the head of our laboratory. If you have any questions, talk to him." Lei Qingfeng pointed at the elderly man.

"Lei Qingfeng, what are you up to now, getting up so late, and not testing the Demon Armor?" Professor Xu reprimanded.

"Got it, I'll wash my face first." Lei Qingfeng left lazily.

Nobody here seemed to care about Li Xiu, this new Commander. Professor Xu merely approached Li Xiu and said, "Commander, is there something you need from us?"

"I initially wanted to see how advanced your top-tier Demon Armors are, but it seems like the laboratory is facing difficulties. Is it a shortage of materials and budget provided by the association?" Li Xiu asked.

"Not at all, our materials and budget are sufficient. To see the Demon Armors, that's easy. Tianyu, take him to have a look, I have work to do." Professor Xu said as he turned back into the lab on his own accord.

"We have four types of Demon Armor: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. I wonder which type the Commander would like to see?" Qiu Tianyu, with a gentle demeanor, asked with a smile.
