"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Li Xiang?" The leader of the men in black was nearly two meters tall and wore sunglasses. He extended his right hand and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Yes." Li Xiang reached out and shook his hand. The man's grip was strong, but it quickly changed color when Li Xiang used a bit more force.
It was clear that Li Xiang's strength was far beyond his imagination.
The man in black pulled back his reddened right hand, and his expression immediately became much more respectful.
"We are official staff of the Sky Arena. This is our work ID, please take a look." The man in black showed him the ID in his jacket pocket. It had the words "Wessex Security Company Front Line Manager Jack" printed on it.
"Wessex Security Company is one of the subsidiary companies of the Wessex Group. Like Wessex Technology Company, it is an important company controlled by Master Helo," Number One whispered. Number One reminded her softly. If nothing unexpected happened, she would also be able to enter Wessex Security Company after her promotion in the future. This man named Jack was actually a frontline manager.
In terms of position, he could be considered a small part of the management.
Don't underestimate this kind of management. Their positions weren't high, but they were still members of the Wessex Group. They had more connections and resources than even the bosses of some small organizations. They were important targets for the middle class to curry favor with.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Li Xiang nodded.
"It's like this, Mr. Li Xiang. The Sky Arena has a dedicated recorder to observe and record every competitor's recent situation and give them a score based on their recent performance. Once they meet certain criteria, they will be invited to join our special competition group. "Jack's words were concise and comprehensive.
Simply put, Li Xiang had been chosen to join the special competition group. The special competition group would form a group to participate in some special competition activities. It was difficult and dangerous, but the rewards were also very good.
"Is it that virtual combat?" Li Xiang asked, puzzled. When Harris left just now, the envy in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
"It seems you already have some understanding, but virtual combat is only one of them. Once you agree to join the special competition group, you will have to participate in the competition activities arranged by us. However, the rewards are ten times more than normal competitions. If you are lucky, after one or two times, you will be able to reach a higher level and join the special competition group. As long as you don't get eliminated or die, you can stay in the special competition group until you die or reach the highest level. "
The man in black behind Jack took out the contract and rule book and handed it to him.
Li Xiang skimmed through it briefly. It was nothing more than an elite-level competition, with high risk and high reward.
"I'll participate." On one hand, he had come here for the Winged Chariot blueprint. On the other hand, he had come here to sharpen his combat strength and prepare for the upcoming ultimate trial.
No matter who it was, the process of increasing one's strength would always be filled with all kinds of dangers. If one avoided them, they would not be able to grow.
If he died, it was only because his skills were inferior.
Number One looked at Li Xiang, her heart uneasy. Joining the special competition group meant that Li Xiang had finally gained the recognition of the Sky Arena, but at the same time, she was very worried about his safety.
Especially with the high profits of the competition, the mortality rate was also terrifyingly high.
However, she didn't have the right to interfere with Li Xiang's decision, and she wouldn't do so. If he went, she would just accompany him.
"Okay, then from now on, you will belong to the tenth special competition group. This is an exclusive recording device. If there is any competition activity, you will be notified immediately. You can participate in any other competition at any time, but you must attend when there is an activity. If you leave the Sky Arena, you will be given a final evaluation to determine how long it will take for you to be kicked out of the competition group." Jack laughed and handed over a large black box. "This is the Origin Gas reward. Right, you will also have an exclusive room where you can do whatever you want. Your personal guide will be in charge of your daily needs during this period of time. If you are not satisfied, you can change. You can have up to three personal guides at the same time."
After speaking, he revealed a strange smile as he smiled at Li Xiang and Number One.
Li Xiang rolled his eyes. Why were these guys all like this? They made him feel like a stud horse, giving him beauties at the drop of a hat.
"If there are no other questions, I will take my leave. I wish you success in the competition and that you will soon reach the peak." Jack bowed slightly.
Li Xiang shook his head, then dragged the black box and Number One back to his room.
He had originally planned on continuing to compete, but now that he had joined this special competition group, he should have no lack of high-quality, high-income competition activities.
He returned to his room and opened the black box. He discovered that there were a hundred standard tubes of Origin Gas arranged neatly inside.
The Sky Arena was quite generous. Even though this was called a settlement fee in the contract, and if he died during the competition, this money would become his inheritance, Li Xiang was still very excited.
Adding on the hundred standard tubes, as well as the Origin Gas he had accumulated from the competition, he had finally reached three hundred standard tubes.
Apart from the one hundred and fifty tubes that he needed to learn magic, the rest could be used as currency or as a source of energy.
After telling Number One not to disturb him if there was nothing important, Li Xiang sat cross-legged on his bed and began a new round of cultivation.
After the Four Limbs Circuit had materialized, he hadn't paid attention to the cultivation of his other Circuits for a long time. Previously, he had discussed with the old Night Guardian about the possibility of using a negative emotion combination technique, as well as cultivating a secondary personality. However, it seemed that this was only in the theoretical stage. He needed to learn more things to expand his knowledge.
The materialization of the magic circuits required the support of a large amount of Origin Form gas, and also required a certain amount of opportunity to trigger it. All this time, apart from the four limbs magic circuits, the other five circuits had not shown any reaction. However, after the mechanical chess game, he suddenly felt the signs of the green brain magic circuit materializing.
It was probably because he had constantly used his brain to think during the Mechanical Chess match, and because his brain had been constantly used during the competition, it had begun to show signs of being activated.
No matter what, this was an A-tier magic Circuit. Even though it wasn't his ideal second materialized magic Circuit, it was still better than nothing.
After injecting the Origin Gas, Li Xiang quickly entered a meditative state.
After the first experience, the speed of breaking in this time was much faster. He chose to be calm this time.
Calmness and excitement sounded like two conflicting emotions, but in fact, that wasn't the case.
Many people would usually become excited and flustered when encountering special events. It wasn't excitement, but fear and uneasiness. At that time, they naturally needed to be calm to calm themselves down.
Excitement, on the other hand, was more of a kind of anticipation for the unknown and upcoming. It was a positive emotion.
Many people could maintain a high level of excitement while still maintaining that calmness, not letting emotions get to their heads. It could be said that calmness was a necessary emotion. As an emotional hub, it controlled all other emotions and didn't let the individual instantly lose control.
After two months of training in the Polar night, experiencing life and death, time travel, and his previous life, no one his age could compare to his grasp of calmness.
After quickly entering a calm state, the green magic particles in his body instantly became very active. With the weight core, most of the magic particles would be stored in it, and he could mobilize them at any time when needed. However, he didn't know the capacity of his weight core for the time being.
This way, he didn't have to go through the trouble of gathering the green magic particles in his body first like before. He only had to transfer them directly from the weight core.
The speed of his cultivation instantly increased by several times. This way, he felt that he would be able to successfully instantiate the magic circuits in his brain in less than seven days. He just didn't know how much of an increase the magic circuits hidden deep in his brain would bring him.
After letting out a long breath and relaxing his body for a while, Li Xiang took out the attribute-less magic resonance stone.
Placing it on the magic scroll that crushed the bullet, it would turn into the corresponding magic resonance stone.
One hundred and fifty standard tubes, magic scroll, hard learning requirements, and magic resonance stone — all the conditions had been met.
He didn't expect that he would be able to learn a type of magic before entering university like Kuang Tie.
Magic was the biggest difference between magic apprentices and magicians, and magic apprentices like himself.
It was also the first key to opening the door to the world of players.
Calming his excitement, he began to recall the main points of magic learning, not leaving out a single one.
He wasn't Kuang Tie, and didn't have many resonance stones for him to squander. If he wanted to learn magic again after this failure, he would probably have to wait until he had enough resources in university.
Failure was not an option.
Learning magic was divided into two steps. The first step was to use magic particles to draw the corresponding rune shape on the weight core according to the magic scroll.
Crushing the bullet only required the magic circuits in the four limbs, so drawing the rune shape only required red magic particles. The magic scroll had detailed drawing steps and diagrams for the rune shape.
Looking at the incomparably complex rune shape, Li Xiang felt his head swell. For magic runes, the more types of magic particles needed, the more complex the rune shape would be. In other words, this was the simplest type, but it was enough to give him a headache.
Just the drawing steps alone had more than a hundred steps. He couldn't make a single mistake, or else it would be a failure.
And during the drawing process, he needed to consume Origin Gas to mobilize the magic particles. One time, it was one hundred and fifty standard tubes.
Li Xiang finally understood why it was said that learning magic was a waste of money.
One time, it was one hundred and fifty standard tubes. Although he could try an unlimited number of times, who could bear such an expenditure?
And if he didn't use Origin Gas to mobilize the magic particles, with so many steps, the magic particles would quickly dissipate and be unable to stabilize.
He could only follow the steps, but in order to conserve Origin Gas, Li Xiang first took out a pen and paper to repeatedly draw and familiarize himself with the rune shape. Then, he didn't use Origin Gas, and directly mobilized the magic particles in the weight core to try to draw it.
This was safer, but it consumed a lot of energy.
