Chen Yang directly left the Asura Arena with Yi Liya in his arms and followed Han Li to their residence in the courtyard.
He placed Yi Liya in the inner room and brought Han Li to the side hall outside.
"Fellow Chen, is Fellow Yi's injury serious?" Han Li asked.
"Although the injury is serious, it's not life-threatening. It's just that using the Lost Armor Technique caused him to lose a lot of Qi and blood, so he can't wake up for the time being." Chen Yang waved his hand and said plainly.
When Han Li heard this, he only nodded and didn't take the initiative to speak again.
"Do you know why I called you over?" Chen Yang pondered for a while, then he looked up at Han Li and asked with a serious expression.
"It should be for the next round of the competition," Han Li said unhurriedly.
"That's right. Do you have any countermeasures against Feng Wuchen?" Chen Yang nodded and asked.
"Not yet, but I will definitely fight with all my strength. Don't worry, Fellow Chen." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Although I don't know how many Xuan Apertures you have opened, it shouldn't be less than him from your battle with Hao Feng." Chen Yang looked at Han Li and said slowly.
When Han Li heard this, he faintly smiled and didn't say anything.
"I originally thought that with your own strength and the power of the True Spirit Bloodline in your body, you should be able to fight with Feng Wuchen.
However, I didn't expect Feng Wuchen to have a pair of Star Artifacts. The situation isn't looking good for you. "Chen Yang's expression darkened.
"May I ask Fellow Chen what exactly is a Star Artifact?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"You don't know?
No wonder you've never been to Xuan City.
The so-called Star Artifact is a weapon of the highest level refined by Madam Liu Hua using the power of the stars here. It's extremely powerful and has the effect of amplifying our strength.
However, there are very few of them. I don't know where Qin Yuan got that pair of swords. "Chen Yang said angrily.
Han Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Feng Wuchen's pair of weapons flashed in his mind again.
"But you don't have to worry."
Chen Yang smiled, took out an item from his bosom, and handed it over. It was a small white shield that was engraved with star runes.
The center of the small shield was also engraved with 18 star patterns, forming a dragon pattern. Each star pattern emitted a faint white light, and it flickered as if it was breathing.
"This is?" Han Li took the small white shield and felt his Xuan Apertures faintly resonating with the shield.
"This is?" Han Li took the small white shield and felt his body's acupoints faintly resonating with it.
Normally, a Star Tool needs to be nourished with blood essence for a long period of time before one can gradually master it. However, time is of the essence, so you should immediately refine it with your blood essence and nourish it properly for the next few days. By the third round, you should be able to display part of its power, which should be enough to block the fatal blow from that pair of swords for you, "Chen Yang said.
"Yang said." Chen smiled and Star and Li. "I will. Li." Han Li. "Li will will." Li "Spirit Li Yang said." Tian Chen, "Chen," Yang said. "I, I will Li..
"Chen Yang," Chen Yang smiled and gave Han Li some pointers on how to refine the Star Weapon before sending him away.
With the Star Shield in hand, Han Li returned to his room and entered the inner chamber.
He looked at the Star Shield, bit his tongue, and spat out a drop of blood on the shield.
The blood immediately fused with it. The Star Shield glowed with white light and buzzed.
A trace of joy flashed through Han Li's eyes.
He could clearly feel a connection between him and the shield. It was just that the connection was very weak.
He followed the method Chen Yang taught him. His glabella flashed and he sent a strand of his mental power into the Star Shield. He slowly activated the power of the blood and let it seep into the shield.
The feeling was similar to refining an Immortal Weapon. It was just that it was much slower without the help of Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Time passed. An hour passed in the blink of an eye. A commotion came from outside.
Han Li's heart stirred, and he stowed the Star Shield away before walking out of the room.
The courtyard was filled with people. It was the people from Qingyang City returning from Asura City. Gu Qianxun was in the middle. Everyone was excited, but Xuanyuan Xing was nowhere to be seen.
"Fellow Daoist Bone, it seems you've returned victorious. Congratulations." Han Li greeted him.
"I was just lucky." Gu Qianxun smiled.
Her words were humble, but there was not a single wound on her body. It was clear that she had won easily. Han Li was not surprised.
The others walked away when they saw the two of them talking.
"Why don't I see Xuanyuan Xing? How was his match?" Han Li asked.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan also won. Although his opponent was stronger than him, his strategy was successful, exchanging injuries for injuries. Now, he has been sent to the City Lord to recuperate." Gu Qianxun smiled.
"Is that so?" A trace of astonishment flashed through Han Li's eyes.
"Fellow Li, your opponent in the third round is Feng Wuchen. The two Star Tools in his hands are no small matter. Do you have any way to deal with them?" Gu Qianxun asked after a slight hesitation.
"Thank you for your concern. The city lord has already discussed with me." Han Li nodded but did not elaborate.
"That's good." Gu Qianxun did not pursue the matter and nodded casually.
The two of them chatted for a while more before bidding their farewells.
Han Li returned to his residence and continued refining the Star Shield.
As time passed, the white starlight on the Star Shield became more and more intense. The many Xuan Acupoints on his body seemed to be attracted and became restless. The two faintly felt as though they were fusing together.
The Astral Shield seemed to have become a part of his body and limbs, and it felt as if it had fused with his bloodline.
Han Li opened his eyes and looked at the small shield in his hand. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Star Tools were indeed extraordinary and mysterious.
He let out a light breath and immersed himself in refining.
…
In the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed.
Early in the morning, the Asura Arena was already crowded with people. It was a bustling scene.
After the first two rounds of competition, there were only 16 Xuan Gladiators from the five cities left. On the Qian and Kun Stages stood eight people each. Han Li and Gu Qianxun were among them.
In this round of competition, the top eight of this tournament would be decided from amongst them.
After Gao Sheng, the five city lords and Madam Liuhua took their seats, the audience cheered deafeningly for a long time.
The dark-skinned man who was hosting the ceremony stood on the Qian Stage for a long time, but he could not suppress the cheers of the audience. He could only wait for the cheers to die down before he opened his mouth.
"At this point, the competition is getting better. We will now compete for the top eight of this tournament. The winners today will each receive an Earth-ranked Scaled Beast's core as a reward.
The level of the battles today will also be greatly increased. I wish everyone and all the participating Xuan Gladiators a great victory! "
"Top eight, top eight, top eight …"
The stands were filled with cheers, and the passion of all the spectators was ignited in an instant.
"The competition is almost halfway through. Today, only the Qian and Kun Stages will be opened. Of the eight battles, only two will be held each time. There will be a total of four rounds.
Today, the first two battles will begin. They will be Zhu Ziyuan from Xuan City against Jin Gong from Xuan City, and Feng Wuchen from Zhixuan City against Li Feiyu from Qingyang City. "The dark-skinned man announced after a long time.
On the high stage, Chen Yang's expression was somewhat complicated.
After the first round of qualifiers, out of the 32 Xuan Gladiators who won, they only occupied four spots. It could be said that they had lost all face. Now, after the second round, they actually had three people who won. Although it was not considered outstanding among the five cities, it could be considered to be in the middle.
But he could not be happy.
According to today's arrangement, not only would Han Li have to fight Feng Wuchen, Gu Qianxun would also have to fight Opal City's Fang Chan in the second round.
He did not have the slightest bit of confidence in these two battles.
Feng Wuchen's strength was obvious. Although he had spent a lot of money to get a star weapon for Han Li, it was Han Li's first time using it after all. He would definitely not be able to use it as smoothly as Feng Wuchen.
Moreover, there was already a gap between the two of them, so the chances of him winning were much smaller.
As for Gu Qianxun, although she was strong, her opponent was Fang Chan, who had defeated her before. Her chances of winning were not high either.
Although Xuanyuan Xing would also have to fight Xuan City's Luo Chong in the fourth round, and his opponent seemed to be slightly better than the two of them, the chances of him winning were still unknown.
Originally, they thought that at least one of them would be able to make it to the top four. Now, it seemed that it would be difficult to even fight for a place in the top eight.
If Qingyang City stopped at the top eight, their results would be worse than Du Qingyang's era. Not only would they not be rewarded by Xuan City, but his prestige as the city lord would also be greatly affected.
He was not someone who was satisfied with living in a corner of the city.
"According to the rules, shouldn't the chief Xuan fighters of each city only meet after the top eight? Why is Qingyang City's Gu Qianxun fighting against Baiyan City's Fang Chan in this round?" Madam Liuhua suddenly asked.
"Cough cough … It is only a rule that the main forces of each city do not arrange for Xuan Fights before the top eight battles. There is no basis for it.
The two chief Xuan fighters of each city meeting here is also due to the rules of the competition.
Cough cough … But it's just right. With this battle in the first half of the competition, there are many more points to watch. "Qin Yuan coughed twice and said.
"I saw that Gu Qianxun's attacks were very fierce in the previous two battles. This time, her fight against Fang Chan could be said to be a battle of revenge. Who knows, maybe Fellow Sun will lose a powerful fighter first?" Fu Jian looked at Sun Tu and said meaningfully.
Chen Yang's expression did not change when he heard this, but he sneered in his heart.
Gu Qianxun was defeated by Fang Chan in the last Five Cities Martial Arts Tournament. It was obvious who had a higher chance of winning this battle.
"Fellow Fujian is correct. That brat Fang Chan only cares about eating and sleeping all day long. He hasn't made any progress in the past few years. I'm afraid that this time, he will become a stepping stone for your city's Gu Qianxun." Sun Tu sighed as he spoke, but the corner of his mouth carried a trace of a smile.
"Cough cough … It's not just this battle that is worth watching. When Li Feiyu was watching the battle between Wu Chen and Yi Liya, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wu Chen injuring Yi Liya. As a result, the two of them had a conflict on the spot. This was seen by the audience … cough cough, so their battle is also very anticipated by the audience. I believe that it will also attract a lot of attention." Qin Yuan changed the topic and said with a light cough.
