Although the demon spirit group has become stronger, it has actually become easier because the Jedi Knight has also upgraded.
A single Blood Light Slash from the Jedi Knight covered ten meters, and the demon spirits in front of the Blood Light Slash were all cut into two pieces with terrifying power.
"The gap with and without skills is indeed significant." Li Xiu glanced at the B-level Pink Nightmare, which was fierce and invincible among the demon spirit group, but felt it was still somewhat lacking compared to the C-level Jedi Knight.
This made Li Xiu feel like his account had been wasted in training, but the Pink Nightmare was the only demon spirit he could use for travel work, with no other alternatives.
"I hope it can awaken a talent skill the next time it upgrades." Li Xiu thought to himself.
Originally, Li Xiu was contemplating whether to use a Demon Spirit Ring to create a demon spirit and let it consume the Demon Core to level up, in order to deal with the upcoming demon spirit group.
Now, seeing the Jedi Knight so fierce, Li Xiu decided to let the Jedi Knight consume all of the Demon Cores.
In this round, Li Xiu obtained three Talent Gemstones and two Skill Rings, which was quite a harvest. However, these Talent Gemstones and Skill Rings might all be duplicates. They were no longer of much use to Li Xiu.
In the sixth round, the number of Radiant Demon Spirits increased once again, with Shining Demon Spirits accounting for half of the total.
Li Xiu obtained four Talent Gemstones and one Skill Ring again.
In the seventh round, a Radiant Demon Spirit Ring appeared, along with three Talent Gemstones, but still no Radiant Demon Spirit.
The eighth round... the ninth round... the tenth round...
By the tenth round, Flowing Color Demon Spirits were almost nowhere to be seen; a large number of demon spirits were Shining Demon Spirits, and Radiant Demon Spirits had already surpassed a hundred.
Fortunately, Demigod Shana, Pink Nightmare, and Jedi Knight could still each guard a street. The Ice Soul Sea Demon paired with Love God Shooter could barely hold on.
If it weren’t for the Love God Shooter’s arrows causing demon spirits to betray, this side might have already been breached.
However, when Love God Shooter’s arrows hit a Radiant Demon Spirit, the effect wasn’t as good, only causing the Radiant Demon Spirit to betray briefly, requiring Demigod Shana’s support to defeat the Radiant Demon Spirit.
"The Love God Shooter has clear advantages and disadvantages. Her arrows lack actual lethality and need a lethal demon spirit to coordinate. But this can already be considered a skill; if well-utilized, Love God Shooter’s arrows could be a powerful weapon. It’s a pity there isn’t a suitable Demon Core here. Otherwise, elevating her level could sometimes be more useful than Demigod Shana." Li Xiu was pondering how to respond next,
when the Jedi Knight had already consumed all of the Demon Cores and placed the retrieved Talent Gemstones and Skill Rings before Li Xiu.
Li Xiu now had over twenty Talent Gemstones and more than a dozen Skill Rings, becoming somewhat numb and reluctant to look at them.
He glanced at them subconsciously, ready to look away, but suddenly paused.
He noticed a Talent Gemstone that was somewhat different from the others.
Previously, all the Talent Gemstones Li Xiu obtained here had identical iron-like shells, which were incomplete. The exposed parts revealed a Black Apatite-like crystalline core.
This particular Talent Gemstone, however, was different. Its shell seemed to be densely arranged with black sand, and although the exposed parts were still black crystals, they faintly emitted a blood-red glow.
"This Talent Gemstone is interesting." Li Xiu picked up the special Talent Gemstone, dropped a drop of blood on it, turning it into his own talent.
Undying (Growth-Type Talent): E-level talent, immune to twenty percent of Black Death Light.
"There are growth-type talents?" Li Xiu finally understood the difference between the talents in the Land of Trial and those in the Trial Ground.
The talent rewards obtained in the Trial Ground were fixed levels, but here the talents might be growth-type.
Moreover, Li Xiu had a bold speculation that the talent rewards in the Trial Ground might be limited to only a few types.
While in the Land of Trial, one might obtain a rare talent like Undying.
The skills should follow a similar logic; there might be skills here that don’t exist in the Trial Ground, with the possibility of being growth-type.
This speculation rekindled Li Xiu’s previously numb mindset, though he still didn’t know how to upgrade talent levels for the time being.
In the eleventh round of demon spirit attacks, there were no Flowing Color Demon Spirits anymore; Shining Demon Spirits appeared directly.
The appearance rate of Radiant Demon Spirits also increased, almost accounting for half of the demon spirit quantity.
Demigod Shana’s side could still hold on but now couldn’t attend to the other three directions of the streets.
Pink Nightmare’s side was also having problems; it could still kill those demon spirits, but sometimes there were fish escaping from its side.
The Ice Soul Sea Demon couldn’t hold on anymore; Li Xiu had recalled it early, now relying solely on the Love God Shooter to defend a street, which was barely holding.
However, the Jedi Knight was still exceedingly fierce, guarding a street that the demon spirits couldn’t breakthrough.
Li Xiu decisively chose to retreat, withdrew into the small stone house, had the Pink Nightmare charge in the street, with Demigod Shana and Jedi Knight guarding the door, Love God Shooter shooting arrows inside, and Li Xiu himself hiding at the very back.
