Wang Yu

Chapter 869: Growing Reputation

Just as Han Li managed to stabilize his figure, the Tongshen Ape on the opposite side let out a earth-shaking roar. Its massive form blurred, and it directly shattered countless scattered rocks and charged towards Han Li.

It threw a punch forward. Han Li did not dodge hastily but quickly raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest.

A loud "bang" resounded.

Han Li felt a numbness in his arms, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly into the wall of the Profound Battle Arena.

The force of this blow was too great, so much so that his body bounced back after the impact, causing his internal organs to churn.

A mouthful of stagnant blood surged up Han Li's throat, but before he could spit it out, a shadow loomed over him again, and his body was struck again, sending him crashing towards the wall.

He endured the intense pain in his body, and at the moment of impact, he twisted his body, kicked his legs hard, and leaped high into the air, trying to escape from here.

However, things did not go as planned. Just as his figure leaped up, the Tongshen Ape's huge palm, carrying a gust of wind, slammed down on his head.

Han Li had no choice but to fully activate the Star Power in his body, using his arms to prop up the sky, blocking the huge palm.

"Bang."

Another loud crash, this time, Han Li's body was smashed straight into the ground, almost buried by the rocks.

The Tongshen Ape would not give him any chance, chasing after him and smashing down hard on the ground with several punches in a row.

"Boom," "Boom," "Boom."

Only a series of roars echoed continuously. Han Li and the Tongshen Ape had just exchanged their previous offensive and defensive positions, turning into him being pressed down and constantly subjected to a storm of heavy blows.

Dust and smoke rose in the Profound Battle Arena, almost filling the entire venue, obstructing vision. The audience on the stands stretched their necks, trying to see what was happening inside the arena.

"Tsk tsk, it seems I overestimated this kid. In this situation, he must be dead, right? I don't know what the City Lord is thinking, does he really want him to die?" Chen Yang had also stood up, frowning as he looked over here.

In the chaotic dust and smoke, Han Li's body was covered in blood, but he still maintained the posture of blocking his chest with both hands, protecting his vital organs. However, his body had become bloody and miserable.

His eyes were blurred by blood, and his teeth clenched and creaked. He tried again and again to mobilize the power of his bloodline in his body, but for some reason, he always received no response.

The True Spirit bloodline hidden in his body seemed to be suppressed by some force and fell into a slumber.

If this continues, he really won't be able to hold on.

Just then, Han Li's eyes suddenly widened, and a transparent crystal light flashed and disappeared from the center of his brow.

In the next instant, a crystal light sword appeared out of thin air several zhang in front of him, passing through the Tongshen Ape's fist as it smashed down, and directly pierced through its broken eyeball.

"Puff."

A slight sound that no one noticed came, and the Tongshen Ape's giant fist that was about to fall stopped abruptly three chi away from Han Li's head, motionless.

The people on the stands could not hear the continuous roars before, nor could they see clearly the situation in the dust, and they were all anxiously shouting. Only a few people vaguely felt a powerful divine sense power flash away at that moment.

After a while, a heavy sound came.

A powerful wind swept in all directions, blowing away the swirling dust.

The audience on the stands finally regained their vision, only to find that the Tongshen Ape had fallen to the ground, and the thin human named "Li Feiyu" was covered in blood, almost losing his human form, but was still struggling to crawl towards the Tongshen Ape's head.

The Tongshen Ape's chest was still rising and falling, indicating that it had not completely died.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Han Li had only used the Divine Sense Sword to shatter its Divine Soul at the critical moment, turning it into a body without Divine Sense control. He had not been able to completely kill its physical body.

Han Li crawled to the Tongshen Ape's head, slowly raised a hand, reached into its broken eye socket, and groped for a while. Then, he gritted his teeth and pulled it out.

When he spread his palm, a fist-sized beast core appeared in his hand, and the light in the Tongshen Ape's eyes gradually dimmed, and the rise and fall of its chest finally stopped completely.

Looking at such a bizarre scene, the audience present looked at each other, somewhat puzzled. They didn't understand how Han Li had reversed the defeat and won this Profound Battle.

"What, he actually won?" Chen Yang widened his eyes and did not see what happened at that time. He just had some vague guesses in his heart.

When the people who had bet on Han Li let out a cheer, what followed was a mountain of roaring shouts.

Han Li held the beast core in his hand, his palm trembling uncontrollably, and sent it into his mouth.

At this moment, bloodstains flowed from all seven orifices of his body, his eyes went black, and he could no longer hear the surrounding sounds.

……

When Han Li woke up again, a strong smell of blood entered his nose. Then, he found himself in the blood pool, leaning against one side of the edge. The sound of bubbling echoed around him, and a layer of scarlet blood mist was steaming.

He gently raised his arm and found that his whole body was aching from being pulled, and even his chest cavity was faintly painful.

Han Li did not put down his arm, raised his hand and wiped his face, only to find that the stains and blood stains on his face were still there, so he simply buried his entire face in the blood pool to clean it thoroughly.

"I have already allowed you to stay for an extra quarter of an hour. If you want to continue soaking, it will cost you points." At this time, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind.

Han Li turned his head and saw the one-horned man standing behind him.

"If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't be in this blood pool at this moment," Han Li said indifferently.

"Hehe, don't be ungrateful. You might as well take a look at that guy over there before it's too late," the one-horned man sneered.

Hearing this, Han Li supported the edge of the blood pool, stood up with difficulty, and looked in the direction the one-horned man was pointing. Through the blood mist, he saw a pool of dark red minced meat placed on the ground in the corner, and he could vaguely discern that it should be a remnant corpse.

"This guy has bad luck. Since the Tongshen Ape was chosen by you, he can only choose the larger Black Scale Elephant. Although he opened seven more Profound Apertures than you, the result is still this miserable end," the one-horned man said expressionlessly.

"Since there is this person here, why not let me fight him?" Han Li asked with an unchanged expression.

"He is not a City Lord's Profound Battle Warrior like you, but a Profound Battle Warrior with freedom. It's all voluntary to come here to challenge Scale Beasts or other Profound Battle Warriors. In order to earn more rewards, he chose to fight the Scale Beast, and we naturally have to respect his wishes. But in the same way, once you enter the Profound Battle Arena, you are responsible for your own life and death," the one-horned man said nonchalantly.

Han Li did not fully believe his words. He walked out of the blood pool without saying a word, bypassed him, and went directly to the exchange hall.

This fight, because the opponent was a genuine Profound Rank Scale Beast, earned Han Li ten more points than before. He did not use them all up, but exchanged them for seven Tarot Beast Cores as before, and then returned to his stone house.

After returning to the stone house, Han Li first spent some time dealing with the injuries on his body, and after a little recovery, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to practice with his eyes closed.

The beast core in the Tongshen Ape's body contained more Star Power than the Tiger Scale Beast. After it is completely absorbed, it will definitely be more effective than before.

……

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

After absorbing the vast Star Power contained in the Tongshen Ape's beast core, Han Li successively swallowed all the Tarot beast cores. The forty-second Profound Aperture on his calf had been opened, and the forty-third had begun to stir, showing signs of opening.

Compared with others, the speed of opening these Profound Apertures is nothing short of amazing. Fortunately, the number of Profound Apertures he has now is not very outstanding among all the Profound Battle Warriors. In addition, he has not appeared many times, so he has not attracted the attention of others.

Even if Chen Yang and others knew that he now had more than forty Profound Apertures, because the increase was not much, he could find a way to prevaricate a little. After all, it is not impossible to use some methods to force growth, sacrificing some things in exchange for a short-term increase in strength.

However, he knew that this was by no means a long-term solution and he had to find a way to cover it up.

When he felt that his injuries had completely recovered, he took the initiative to apply for another Profound Battle before the end of the month.

This time, the one fighting with him was finally no longer a Scale Beast, but a Demon Race Profound Battle Warrior with thirty-eight Profound Apertures opened.

Although the latter's number of Profound Apertures was not as good as his, the opening of his Profound Apertures was more concentrated, mainly distributed on his right hand and arm. Therefore, his offensive power was not inferior to that of the Tongshen Ape.

However, its weakness was also very obvious, that is, its movement speed and physical strength were insufficient. Han Li used his speed advantage to seize the opportunity and broke the other three limbs except the right hand, causing him to actively admit defeat.

Since then, the name "Li Feiyu" has become more and more resounding in the Ninth District, so much so that his Profound Battle odds have also dropped a lot, but the popularity he has gathered is extraordinary, and almost every game is full of spectators.

This competition was relatively easy for Han Li to win, and he did not suffer any serious injuries. So, only half a month later, he went to participate in another Profound Battle, which made the one-horned man a little surprised.

In the next three months or so, Han Li participated in a total of five Profound Battles. Although two of them were tragic victories, his fierce and desperate spirit shocked the audience in the Profound Battle Arena.

As a result, in the Ninth District, many people began to take the initiative to befriend him.

One night, Han Li was practicing the Yu Hua Ascension Art when a knock suddenly sounded outside the door. After opening the stone door, he saw Chen Lin standing outside the door.
