Mo Wuya and the Undying both believed that a Magic Armor Master couldn't possibly compete with a Trial Taker like Jing Li. They were destined to be slain by Jing Li.

Just as they were speaking, Jing Li moved his palm.

At the instant Jing Li unsheathed his blade, the Demon Eye Magic Armor simultaneously erupted with an unparalleled radiance, while Demonic Light gleamed like a beacon within his eyes.

In the next moment, Mo Wuya and the Undying widened their eyes in surprise.

All they heard was a snapping sound, as Li Xiu, donning the Demon Eye Magic Armor, actually clasped his hands together to catch the long blade swung by Jing Li.

"Such bad luck... managing to catch Jing Li's blade... Was it coincidence or luck?" The Undying didn't believe this was a premeditated calculation. That blade moved so quickly, who would dare intercept it like this? Anyone with proper sense wouldn't attempt such a thing.

"Not sure," Mo Wuya was equally astonished.

Li Xiu's ability to catch Jing Li's blade was already shocking enough, but the fact that Jing Li's blade was indeed caught, unable to move further, was even more astonishing.

Jing Li was a fully-fledged Super Spirit, an unmatched existence among Super Spirits, and yet his blade was blocked by a piece of Demon Armor, which seemed utterly inconceivable.

"Could it be that the Magic Armor team has recently achieved a massive breakthrough, having developed Magic Armor capable of perfectly contending with Super Spirit Testers?"

Both men looked on in disbelief, while Li Xiu and Jing Li remained in stalemate.

Li Xiu clamped Jing Li's blade with his hands, and the Demon Eye was already overloaded. White smoke began to rise from his body, as the internal Energy Source was being squeezed to the point of melting.

Yet he still felt the power on the blade constantly intensifying, and the Demon Eye Magic Armor was nearly unable to withstand it.

Even if Li Xiu could enforce overload, the Energy Source was ultimately finite, and the strength of the Magic Armor was also limited.

Although he had never encountered opponents able to challenge the Magic Armor beyond overload before, Li Xiu now clearly understood that even if the Demon Eye Magic Armor were to explode, it couldn't defeat the formidable Jing Li standing before him.

Jing Li's lips slightly twisted upward, revealing a sinister grin akin to a demon, as he pressed the blade downward with one hand, and streamed violet-black smoke roared upward like countless wailing spirits.

"A little more strength... let me feel your power..." Jing Li pressed the blade and grinned demonically, greedily saying.

Li Xiu remained expressionless, his gaze cold and sharp, as a strange transformation began occurring between his hands. The violet-black smoke on the blade seemed to seep into the Demon Eye Magic Armor, staining the arm guards the same color.

Moreover, that color spread rapidly, soon dyeing the arm armor of the Demon Eye Magic Armor the same hue.

The color swiftly spread across the Demon Eye Magic Armor, causing the Demon Patterns on it to undergo peculiar changes.

An almost crazy Jing Li hesitated slightly, as he felt his own Light Energy pouring into Li Xiu like a breached dam. Not only was this Light Energy unable to harm Li Xiu; it seemed to be absorbed by him.

"What is this..." Rather than fear, excitement gleamed in Jing Li's eyes as he gazed intently at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu did not respond, as it was his first time combining the Magic Armor Skill with a Trial Taker's Super Spirit Skill.

The Hand of God combined with Bottle Suction forcibly absorbed Jing Li's Light Energy into the Magic Armor, controlling this Light Energy to merge with the Demon Eye Magic Armor's own Light Energy.

If the Magic Armor were strong enough, Li Xiu could perfectly combine these dual energies.

Unfortunately, the Demon Eye Magic Armor was not strong enough. Just enduring its own Light Energy overload explosion was already overwhelming enough, and now with the absorbed Light Energy, the Demon Eye Magic Armor was seriously damaged. Not only was white smoke escaping, but cracks had begun appearing in some areas.

Li Xiu knew he couldn't wait any longer. He coldly eyed Jing Li, and suddenly, light burst from the hands clasping the long blade.

A terrifying burst of Light Energy emanated from both hands simultaneously; one energy originating from the Demon Eye Magic Armor itself, and the other absorbed from Jing Li.

The two bursts of Light Energy stood opposite to each other: one positive, one negative; one yin, one yang; one firm, one gentle, yet remarkably harmonious under Li Xiu's control.

The spiraling bursts of Light Energy surprisingly caused Jing Li's blade to rotate as well.

Boom!

In the instant the spiraling energies combined, a Light Energy explosion occurred, akin to a miniature hydrogen bomb, forming a purple-black spherical light burst in front of the Trial Gate.

The light burst only lasted a moment. Yet in that brief moment, the brilliance forced both the Undying and Mo Wuya to narrow their eyes and shield themselves with their hands.

When the light faded, they were astonished to find that both Li Xiu and Jing Li were no longer in their original positions—one was a hundred meters to the left of the Trial Gate, and the other a hundred meters to the right.

The two now stood several hundred meters apart from each other. Li Xiu's Demon Eye Magic Armor was shattered, with fragments falling off his body, revealing the scholar's robe underneath in many places.

Jing Li wasn't much better off—his cloak had disappeared, leaving his bare upper body bleeding profusely, covered in wounds that stained his pants red.

Yet his gaze remained fiercely fixed on Li Xiu. Though his hand gripping the blade trembled incessantly, he held it firmly, showing no intention of letting go.

"The Magic Armor team's research must have become incredibly advanced, hasn't it?" The Undying and Mo Wuya exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. The ability to injure Jing Li so severely marked an undeniably formidable accomplishment for the Magic Armor.
