Devil’s Son-in-Law

stood by masters.
This “Arthur” is just a rookie who has just become a mechanic.
By luck (at least Savice thought), he passed the first round of preliminary.
If he really goes to the third floor, let alone 1 hour, he can’t even record a few strokes in a year.

As a competitor and enemy, Savice certainly wanted Chen Rui to go to the third floor to “suicide”.
As he hoped, Chen Rui walked step by step toward the light gate that went to the third floor and soon disappeared.
Savice sneered, but his hands didn’t stop at all as he was recording a slightly difficult magic array.
Then, he crushed the magic stone that he carried to teleport out of the ancient magic tower.

The third floor wasn’t only light, but there were also various flames and images.
Even the space appeared strangely distorted.
In Chen Rui’s eyes, those melodies and colors were strange magic symbols.
The various arrangements were like complex calculations.
Some were taught by Master Xingxing and Master Skye before, but some were unheard of.
With Chen Rui’s current level, he could naturally understand the mysteries of these “formulas”, and he couldn’t help but immerse within at once.

Outside of the ancient magic tower, many people had completed the recording and teleported out.
A special appraiser began to record and verify their scores.
The crystal screen in front of the association’s building marked the latest top 200 rankings.

The first place was Savice who took 10 minutes to record a quasi-three-star magic enhancement magic array, totaling 170 points.

Second place was Robert who took 15 minutes to record a quasi-three-star basic enhancement magic array, totaling 165 points.

The third place, Southgate who took 16 minutes to record a quasi-three-star basic enhancement magic array, totaling 164 points.

The current 200th place score was a 2-star magic weakening magic circle recorded in an hour , totaling 80 points.

Chen Rui had reached the fourth floor at this time.
Even for Chen Rui, he felt difficult to understand the contents on the fourth floor, but he had [Deep Analysis].
Although he couldn’t understand, he could “record” them first and slowly study them later.

After recording, Chen Rui looked at the time on the magic stone, and it had actually passed more than an hour.
He looked at the next light door in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and tried to walk over.

The moment he approached the light door, the space was suddenly distorted.
Countless mysterious marks flashed and a strong, repulsive force pushed him away.
Each time he tried, the arrangement of those marks were different.

Chen Rui had a feeling that even if he did his best now by using [Scorching Dragon Possession] with the strength of Megrez state, he wouldn’t be able to break through the power of this light gate.
The light gate not only contained immense power, but it was more like a rule.
If he couldn’t understand the rule, even with Demon Overlord-level strength, he might not be able to break through.

In the administration office on the fifth floor of the building, a man with white hair and middle-aged appearance frowned.
It was the chairman of the Dark Shadow Empire’s Mechanic Association and the empire’s top mechanic master, Master Anderson.

“Another curious guy is trying out the fifth-floor gate.
I don’t know if it’s wise to open the ancient magic tower this time.”

Master Rummenigge smiled and said, “We can’t even crack the gate’s seal, so chairman, you need not worry.
In fact, this time, it’s more about discovering and cultivating potential juniors.
It’s good to let them open their eyes and gain insights.”

Master Anderson gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

After trying and recording that magic symbol a few times, seeing that there wasn’t much time left, Chen Rui looked at the latest ranking and he had an idea in his mine.
He recorded a magic array on the second floor, crushed the magic stone and teleported out.

On the VIP seat outside of the association’s building, seeing that the name, “Arthur” hadn’t appeared within the 200, Dior, who had been paying attention to the crystal screen, looked very uneasy.
Kia also seemed a little nervous.

At that time, a beautiful-looking woman, holding a man’s arm, came over with a gloating look, “Isn’t this our eldest brother, Dior? It’s already the final moment, why haven’t I seen your supporter, Arthur on the list? Falamo, at which place is our supporter now?”

The man aside was Dior’s brother, Falamo, who deliberately sighed, “Robert seems to be in second place.
Although he is currently behind Savice, this point ranking isn’t brought into the semifinal, so the true battle is yet to come.”

“As far as I know, the next event is Robert’s strength.
Afterall, he was the champion of the previous season.” The woman was Falamo’s wife, Marianne Asmodeus, also the sister of Valen, the second general of the Dark Shadow Empire.
This woman was very dominant, so Falamo was being subdued and didn’t dare to get a concubine until now.

Dior was very annoyed, but he couldn’t think of anything smart to counterattack, “Look at the screen!” Kia suddenly screamed in excitement.
Dior quickly looked up, and she was immediately refreshed.

Arthur’s name finally appeared within two hundred.
He took 1 hour and 25 minutes to record a quasi-three-star basic enhancement magic circle, totaling 95 points, currently ranked 192.

Since it was the last group, there were very few people left in the magic tower.
This ranking was basically stable.
He should be able to enter the semi-final next.

Savice looked at Arthur’s name on the screen and sneered: That’s fine.
I can continue to step on his head in the future contest.
Not only in the contest but at the end of the contest, it’ll be the time where “Arthur” is crushed into pieces!

Dior in the VIP seat took a sigh of relief.
Getting the 192th place is good enough.
No matter what, it was a narrow escape.

“What are you yelling for? Such a rude, countrywoman!” Marianne mocked Kia with dissatisfaction and then said to Dior with disdain, “I forgot to tell you that Celine’s supporter, Horford, is also within the top 50.
Although the final victory must belong to Falamo, to my surprise, the person you chose is even worse than Celine’s.
No wonder you can’t even maintain your position as the first-in-line.”

Dior snorted and ignored the two.
At that time, Chen Rui came to Dior, nodded to Kia and smiled, “It seems that I’m quite lucky.
I can enter the next round steadily by staying within the top 200.”

“He’ll probably be eliminated immediately next round.” Marianne chuckled while holding a fan to gracefully cover her scornful smile.

“Dior, who is this pretentious, ugly woman?” Chen Rui heard Marianne mocking Kia, so he asked that intentionally.

Marianne’s face immediately changed.
Dior was happy when he heard that and replied, “This is my younger brother, Falamo, who’s desperate to be the heir… and his woman.”

In revenge for the previous sarcasm, Dior deliberately didn’t mention Marianne’s name and Chen Rui looked like he had a sudden realization, “I heard that your brother has several women outside.
I wonder which one is this?”

It was Falamo’s face that changed this time.
Seeing Marianne’s cold eyes that were moving toward him, Falamo’s expression became quite interesting.
In fact, Chen Rui was right by chance.
Falamo did have a mistress, but because Marianne was too dominant, and she had a strong background.
Therefore, he had been hiding from this fierce wife.

Dior raised his thumb at Chen Rui secretly.
However, Chen Rui was currently ranked within the range of 190th place.
The semi-final later might not be in favor, so he asked anxiously, “The next round will be the semi-final.
It will decide the final’s candidates.
How confident are you?”

Chen Rui shook his head.
This guy is too impulsive.
How can he ask such questions in front of competitors?

“Big brother! Second brother and Sister Marianne are also here!” A young girl came over.
The girl was dressed in a short skirt, looked pretty and youthful.
Based on the appellation, she should be Celine, Dior’s youngest sister.

Celine had the least “threat”, She usually had a good relationship with the two elder brothers.
Dior forced himself to smile and nodded while Marianne relaxed her tight face.

“Is this your supporter Arthur?” Celine looked at Chen Rui curiously, “He actually entered the ranks of 200 at the end.
However, I had better luck this time.
I found a mechanic named Horford.
Although he didn’t have much fame, he is quite good and actually got the 47th place this time.”

Dior nodded with a wry smile.
Chen Rui looked relaxed and said indifferently, “In fact, I’m just retaining my strength.”

Dior sighed secretly.
The ranking in the contest is obvious.
It was at most a fluke for him to pass.
No matter how I look at it, “retaining strength” seems like a bluff.

“I hope your strength is as sharp as your mouth!” Marianne spoke a sentence while pulling Falamo away.

“Poor Falamo, he is definitely going to be a punching bag when they go back.” Celine smiled sweetly, greeted Dior and turned away.

“The semi-final will start tomorrow.
Let’s go back to rest first.
By the way, you have to help me get more materials.
The sooner the better as I need more insight.” Chen Rui’s last sentence was purely for his own benefit.
Currently, he was willing to request while Dior was willing to give, so he might as well take advantage of it.
