Han Li returned to his room in the ninth district, "Room 332", and sat down before letting out a light sigh.
He calmed himself down and stopped thinking about anything else. He closed his eyes and activated the White Sun Soaring Technique to refine the Tiger-Scale Beast core in his body.
Although there were many ways to preserve the power of the stars in the beast core for a longer period of time, it was not as good as a fresh one. But in reality, it was not easy to obtain a fresh beast core.
This was the first time he participated in the Xuan Dou, but it was more daunting than dangerous. At the same time, it made him realize that his current situation was not good.
If he wanted to survive, he had to improve his physical strength as soon as possible. Only by continuously improving his physical strength would he have a chance to leave this place.
As he thought about it, the Tiger-Scale Beast core gradually dissolved in his body and turned into a ball of star power.
This Tiger Scale Beast was worthy of being a Mysterious Level Scaled Beast. The power of the stars contained in the beast core was several times more than the tarot beast cores that he had bought before. However, the power of the stars was the same as the tarot beast cores. It was quite chaotic, rampaging through the beast's body, and there was a faint tendency for it to overflow.
"The power of the stars in this Tiger-Scale Beast core is already so chaotic. Or is it that all the beast cores of a certain age are like this?" Han Li thought about it and did not care about the overflowing power of the stars.
As expected, not long after, the mouth of the Sky Bottle in his body emitted a suction force and pulled the overflowing power of the stars back.
After experimenting with the tarot beast cores, Han Li had gradually grasped a few patterns. The Sky Lord Vase's ability to absorb and purify impure star power was somewhat similar to how it absorbed motes of light under the moonlight.
The difference was that it was previously outside his body, but now it was inside his body.
This power of the stars must have some special similarities with the spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in the moonlight.
If not for this, an ordinary person would not be able to absorb the power of the stars if they directly swallowed the tarot beast core. Although this Tiger-Scale Beast core was better, it could only absorb one or two percent of the star power.
However, with the Sky Bottle, it could absorb almost all the power of the stars in the beast core. The difference between the two was too big.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the effect of absorbing the Scaled Beast's core was much more obvious than Shi Chuankong's.
Han Li continued to circulate the White Sun Soaring Art to absorb the power of the stars to break through the third profound orifice.
A few days later, a ball of bright starlight appeared on his calf once again. Under the impact of the majestic star power, the third profound aperture showed signs of opening again.
Han Li did not open his eyes and continued to operate his cultivation technique.
At this moment, the white tree root above his head emitted rays of white starlight that shone on his body. The starlight power was also absorbed into his body.
Right at this moment, a faint light flashed above the white tree root, and three small white insects silently flew down from above.
This insect was fine like a strand of hair, and its entire body was jade white and translucent. It was practically impossible to distinguish within the white starlight in the surroundings.
The white worm's body didn't move. Following the flow of the surrounding starlight, it floated toward Han Li.
Han Li was focused on cultivating and did not spread out his Divine Sense to explore the surrounding situation, so he was completely unaware of the changes above his head.
The three small insects quickly landed on his shoulder. As soon as they touched his skin, they quickly integrated into his body like raindrops falling into a dry field.
After entering Han Li's body, the originally motionless white worm suddenly came to life. Its body swayed left and right, and it rapidly drilled into his heart.
"What are these things!"
Han Li immediately sensed the white worm's contact with his body. He suddenly opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
But at this moment, the Black Tribulation Worm attached to his heart suddenly moved. Its fine claws trembled unceasingly, and a trace of black light appeared in its eyes. It seemed as if it had awakened.
Han Li's heart shuddered.
The Black Tribulation Worm was now closely related to his life. So, he couldn't afford to let anything happen to it.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. His arms fiercely shook, and the muscles and bones of his entire body started to vibrate with a 'weng weng' sound. The vibrating power spread to every part of his body.
The three small insects were enveloped by this vibrating power, and the speed at which they drilled forward immediately slowed down. But, they still continued to drill into Han Li's heart.
Seeing that the vibrating power had no effect, Han Li's right hand suddenly became a blur, and two of his fingers quickly tapped on his chest three times.
Three sharp finger energies penetrated his body and accurately landed on the bodies of the three white insects.
The small insects' bodies immediately sunk downwards, and their bodies became taut.
But these three white worms were truly extraordinary. Their bodies were unexpectedly taut, and at the same time, they continued to drill forward.
After all, finger energies were incorporeal and could not last for long. Soon, they disappeared without a trace.
The three white worms' bodies immediately returned to normal, and they moved forward at an even faster speed. In the blink of an eye, they had drilled into a place not far from the heart.
As the white worms approached, the Black Tribulation Worm's body trembled even more violently, and it let out a 'zhi zhi' sound.
Han Li became very anxious, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. The space between his eyebrows shone brightly.
Three sparkling and translucent swords flew out, and with a flash, they slashed at the top of his chest, disappearing into it.
The small sparkling and translucent swords were actually tangible objects. Three wounds several inches long appeared on Han Li's skin, and blood gushed out.
He did not pay any attention to the wounds on his body. Instead, he used his divine sense to control the three small swords to cut open his flesh, and cut the three white worms.
Although the white worms' bodies were tough, these three small swords were condensed by Han Li using the Mental Sword Technique, and were incomparably sharp.
Following three soft 'puchi' sounds, the three small worms' bodies were easily cut in half. The two halves of their bodies twisted a few times, and then stopped moving.
As soon as the white worms died, the Black Tribulation Worm also stopped moving, and everything returned to normal.
Han Li sensed this situation, and his heart finally relaxed.
At this moment, he suddenly frowned, and spat out a small mouthful of blood, and coughed a few times.
Although he had killed the white worms, the small sparkling and translucent swords had also caused considerable damage to his body.
However, Han Li did not care about this. His hands formed a seal, and rays of crystal light appeared from the space between his eyebrows again. Three sparkling and translucent chains shot out, burrowing into the wounds, and pulling out the six pieces of the worm's body.
With this, the wound on his chest suddenly expanded, and fresh blood dripped out.
Han Li did not even look at the wounds on his body, and silently circulated the Great Heavenly Star Origin Art.
As dense white starlight gathered, the three wounds on his chest quickly healed, and soon, three bloody cocoons formed.
However, Han Li's gaze was fixed on the six pieces of the white worm's body in front of him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Just now, if he had not reacted quickly and decisively used the Mental Sword Technique to kill these three small worms, these three white worms might have really burrowed into his heart.
However, he did not know what would happen if the Black Tribulation Worm reacted to these white worms.
These white worms were so strange, and they were definitely not natural creatures of the Xuan Arena. Could it be that someone wanted to harm him?
Scar's face flashed in Han Li's mind, and he immediately shook his head.
He took a deep breath, and his expression quickly returned to normal. He tidied up the bloodstains on his body and opened the door.
At the center of the cave, many Xuan Gladiators had gathered, and they seemed to be talking about the match that had just happened. Scar was also among them.
When these people saw Han Li appear, they all smiled and greeted him. Only Scar showed an unnatural expression on his face, and he turned his head to the side without saying a word.
Han Li nodded slightly to the others, glanced at Scar intentionally, and then walked toward Chen Lin's room.
Knock, knock …
When he arrived outside Chen Lin's room, Han Li raised his hand and lightly knocked on the stone door twice.
A moment later, a white light lit up the gap below the stone door, and after a flash, it disappeared.
Immediately after, there was a sound of friction, and the stone door slowly opened.
"Fellow Li, why is it you?
Hehe, how have you been? "
Chen Lin stood behind the stone door and looked at Han Li outside. He first showed a surprised expression, and then said with a smile.
"Fellow Chen, can you come in for a chat?" Han Li said with a cupped fist salute.
"Of course, come in." Chen Lin stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Han Li entered the room, and the door rumbled again and closed.
"Fellow Li, looking at your expression, did something happen?" After inviting Han Li to sit down at the stone table, Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Indeed, I have something to ask …" Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately told him about the attack of the white worms when he was cultivating in the room.
"There's actually such a thing?
Fellow Li, it's really incredible that you can survive in such a situation. "Chen Lin stood up immediately after listening, and said with a face full of surprise.
"Why do you say that, Fellow Chen?" Han Li's heart moved, and he asked doubtfully.
"You still don't know what that white worm is, right?
It's the famous Heart Devouring Worm, a kind of strange worm that can only be produced in the Heart Eating Valley.
This kind of little thing is the mortal enemy of the Black Tribulation Worm. Once they meet, they will fight to the death. If they eat each other in your body, no matter how strong your body is, you will die without a doubt. "Chen Lin frowned.
"So that's how it is. It seems that I'm not fated to die." Han Li touched his nose, and said with a wry smile.
"Did Dao Ba do it?" Chen Lin's eyebrows moved, and he asked tentatively.
"Who else could it be apart from him?" Han Li said with a sigh.
"Under normal circumstances, Xuan Gladiators are not allowed to leave this place, so in the ninth district, besides him, no one else can get the Heart Devouring Worm." Chen Lin said thoughtfully.
"Oh, it seems that this person has some special background?" Han Li asked doubtfully.
"Special background can't be considered, otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to this place.
It's just that although his strength is not strong, he has some kinship with a small steward in the city lord's mansion.
But it's this little relationship that allows him to get some things from the outside that the Xuan Fighting Ring doesn't have, and trade with other Xuan Gladiators.
In addition, he has a good relationship with Boss Du Long, so generally, no one is willing to provoke him, so he becomes more and more domineering. "Chen Lin explained slowly.
When Han Li heard this, he noncommittally nodded his head.
He originally didn't take this Dao Ba seriously, but now it seemed that he had taken him lightly.
