Chapter 873

"Thank you, Fellow Chen, for telling me." Han Li stood up and was about to leave.

"Fellow Li, don't be impulsive. This Knife Scar is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, he has been working for Dulong, so Dulong thinks highly of him.

After all, you have to look at the master before you beat a dog. Moreover, Knife Scar is an obedient dog to Dulong.

Don't be impulsive and completely offend Dulong. "Chen Lin quickly stopped him and advised.

"Didn't Fellow Chen say last time that Dulong is narrow-minded? After our conflict last time, he won't let me go. Even if I have scruples, what's the use?" Han Li shook his head and said noncommittally.

"Even if you don't have to worry about him, you still have to abide by the rules of the Xuan Arena.

For the Xuan Arena, it doesn't matter if we Xuan Gladiators fight in private or even form a death grudge. They are even happy to see it. However, all life and death can only be decided in the Xuan Arena. If someone dies in private fights, the result will be very troublesome. That's why I advise you not to be impulsive, "Chen Lin continued.

After hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he slowly sat down.

Chen Lin also sat down beside him and said with a smile, "I'm really afraid that I can't persuade you, Fellow Li …"

"Thank you." Han Li paused for a moment and then smiled.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll be a good person until the end." Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and said with a pained expression.

While Han Li was puzzled, he saw Chen Lin go back to the inner room and come out with a black stone box.

"Knife Scar is a despicable person. If he doesn't succeed once, he might not stop again. You should take this for now. It can help you avoid some trouble," Chen Lin said as he handed over the black stone box.

"This is …" Han Li didn't take it rashly and asked in confusion.

"Heavenly Star Shell. You should have seen this thing at the exchange office, right?

In this damn place, there is no Devil Qi to absorb and condense, and there are no Devil Artifacts to use. It's very difficult to set up restrictions, so we can only set up some simple mechanisms that can be easily opened.

This Heavenly Star Shell is considered a high-end item, "Chen Lin said with a smile.

Upon hearing the name 'Star Shell', Han Li immediately recalled that he had indeed seen it in the Exchange Hall. Although he didn't know what it was used for, its high price still left a deep impression on him.

"Brother Chen, we've only met by chance. I'm already very grateful that you've given me so much information. The Heavenly Star Shellfish is too precious for me to accept," Han Li declined.

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You've misunderstood, Fellow Li. I want to be generous and give it to you for free, but unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow it …"

"Then Fellow Daoist, this is …" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I used this Heavenly Star Shell a long time ago, and a lot of the star power contained in it has been consumed. Later, I became a sworn enemy of someone, so I bought a new one of better quality just in case. This Heavenly Star Shell has been left unused.

I know that you've just arrived at the Xuan Fighting Arena, so you definitely don't have much money on you. I can sell this Heavenly Star Shell to you at half the price, "Chen Lin said.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, to be honest, I've already exchanged the points I won from the previous battles for beast cores. At this moment, there's nothing else I can buy from you other than the tarot beast cores." Han Li was slightly tempted, but he could only helplessly say this.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's hard to find someone who's to your liking in this Xuan Fighting Arena. You can use this Heavenly Star Shell first. As for the reward, you don't have to worry about it. You can return it to me after you win two more battles," Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Then we'll do as Fellow Daoist Chen says." Han Li hesitated for a moment before nodding.

After saying that, he took the black stone box and opened the lid with a "pa" sound.

There was a palm-sized white shell-like object lying quietly in the black stone box. It was unknown whether it was natural or man-made, but there were many complex patterns carved on it. It looked quite gorgeous.

"I've used this thing before, so there's my mark on it.

Fellow Daoist Li, you only need to drip your blood essence on it, and it will recognize you as its master again. After that, you can place it inside the stone door of your house, and the Heavenly Star Shell will automatically emit a layer of star power, covering the entire door from the inside.

In this way, unless others use brute force to break it, you're the only one who can enter your house. Small things like the Heart Devouring Bug won't be able to sneak in, "Chen Lin explained.

"I'll remember Fellow Daoist Chen's kindness." Han Li nodded and cupped his fists again to express his gratitude.

Then, he bid farewell and left.

After returning to his own room, Han Li took out the Heavenly Star Shell again. After condensing a drop of blood on the tip of his finger, he dripped it on it.

"Pa da" There was a soft sound.

A drop of blood splashed on the Heavenly Star Shell, then it was swallowed by a layer of white light and disappeared.

At the same time, all the patterns on the Heavenly Star Shell lit up, and a layer of hazy white light spread from it, like a white starlight shrouding the surroundings.

Han Li placed it inside the stone door, and the layer of white light immediately wrapped the entire stone door. Even all the gaps on the side of the stone door were filled, leaving no loopholes.

After checking it with his Divine Thought for a moment, he found that the star power contained in the Heavenly Star Shell was quite sufficient. It seemed that the previous words were most likely made up by Chen Lin in order to befriend him.

After thinking for a moment, Han Li sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out a tarot beast core from his bosom, and began to cultivate the "White Sun Soaring Technique".

…

One month passed quickly.

In Han Li's room, the white tree roots on the roof were shining brightly. He was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed below with his eyes closed. His body was shrouded in a layer of hazy white light, and the number of mysterious apertures on his body had increased to 41.

In addition to the previous mysterious aperture that was opened by consuming the Tigerscale Beast's beast core, Han Li consumed seven tarot beast cores in succession. With the help of the Sky Bottle, he successfully opened another two mysterious apertures, which were distributed on his legs like before.

At this moment, there was a sudden "buzz" in the room, and a black light flickered beside his bed. Han Li slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the edge of the stone bed, and frowned slightly. He casually picked up the flashing number plate.

He spat out a mouthful of turbid air, slowly stood up, opened the stone door, and walked out.

There seemed to be other Xuan Dou competitions going on in the ninth area, and there were fewer people than usual.

When they saw Han Li appear, these people all looked over. Although some of them nodded at him, there was still a strange look in their eyes.

Han Li went straight through the exchange hall and came to the preparation hall.

In the hall, the one-horned man had just arranged a battle for a Xuan Gladiator with thorns on his back, and he saw Han Li at a glance.

He had a very deep impression of this human in the previous Xuan Dou.

"Li Feiyu, you're here!" the one-horned man shouted.

Han Li responded expressionlessly and slowly walked forward.

"At this moment, several Xuan Dou arenas in the ninth area have been occupied. You need to wait for one of them to finish before you can compete.

You should take a rest first. "The one-horned man said with a smile, and his tone was much better than before.

"It's okay, I'll just wait for a while."

Han Li nodded, found an empty space outside the passage, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

After about a quarter of an hour, one of the Xuan Dou arenas finally finished. Two Xuan Gladiators fought fiercely, and in the end, both died in battle. This allowed the City Lord Manor, as the banker, to gain a big profit.

When Han Li heard movement, he opened his eyes and saw the corpses of the two Xuan Gladiators being carried out of the arena. One's head was completely pierced through, and the other's chest was torn open. Both corpses were drenched in blood and looked terrible.

After waiting for a long time, when the ground of the Xuan Dou arena was repaired, the one-horned man entered and began to announce the next round of the Xuan Dou.

"Everyone, after a month, I'm sure everyone can't forget about the human who unexpectedly defeated the Tiger-Scaled Beast, right?

Today, he will return to the Xuan Dou arena and challenge a Xuan Scaled Beast, the Tongshan Ape.

According to the investigation, he has no more than 30 Xuan Apertures. I wonder if he will have the chance to shock everyone again this time and counterattack the Scaled Beast? "The one-horned man's two simple questions instantly ignited the atmosphere in the Xuan Dou arena.

"Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu …" Some people even began to chant his name.

"You can get lucky once, but you want to succeed every time?"

"Go to hell, lowly human. Become meat paste under the Tongshan Ape's hammer …"

Of course, there were more mockery, doubt, and vicious curses.

Han Li could hear some indistinct words standing in the passage, but he remained expressionless and indifferent. He had no interest in these fanatical cries.

"The Xuan Dou between Li Feiyu and the Tongshan Ape is about to begin. Those who are interested, please make your bets as soon as possible. Once the match begins, bets will stop immediately. This time, the odds are still five to one!" The one-horned man swept his gaze across the crowd and announced loudly.

Hearing that the odds were still five to one, the atmosphere in the stands became even more heated. Even though most people chose to bet on the Tongshan Ape, who had a higher chance of winning, there were still many who were hesitant and wanted to take a gamble on Han Li.

In one of the VIP seats in the stands, Chen Yang, who had removed his bone armor, leaned against a large black chair. There was no one beside him, not even the beautiful attendant nor the man named Hu Ben who had bet with him before.

"Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, I don't know how you managed to win the last time by a fluke, but why are you so reckless as to challenge the Xuan Scaled Beast again? And it's the Tongshan Ape that is famous for its ferocity and violence.

Forgive me for not believing you this time, but I'm going to bet on the Tongshan Ape this time. "Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

A moment later, the sound of a gong rang out.

The time had come, and everyone stopped placing their bets. The Xuan Dou was about to begin.

The stone door at the entrance slowly opened, and Han Li slowly walked out. His gaze was as calm as ever as he looked across.
