Wang Yu
Chapter 862: Boos Erupt
With a soft "crack" sound, the stone chamber in front of Scar slowly opened.
Scar immediately stood up with a jolt, quickly stepping forward to wait at the doorway.
As footsteps echoed, a tall figure emerged from the stone chamber.
This person was a one-eyed giant, extremely tall, towering over Scar by at least two heads, and even more burly, resembling a giant bear, casting a massive shadow.
A huge azure bear head was tattooed on the one-eyed giant's chest, making him look ferocious. With every move, he exuded an aura as majestic and immense as a mountain range.
"Lord Du Long, you must avenge me!" Scar didn't say a word, but knelt down in front of the one-eyed giant with a "thump," lamenting.
"Scar, what happened to your arm?" Du Long was taken aback, then his expression immediately darkened upon seeing Scar's arm.
"My arm was broken by a newcomer. The story is like this..." Scar immediately embellished the story of his conflict with Han Li, emphasizing that Han Li didn't take Lord Du Long seriously at all. Upon hearing that the Profound Points were meant as a tribute to Lord Du Long, he not only refused to give them but also beat him severely.
"Scar, is what you said true?" Du Long frowned slightly, looking at a Profound Warrior who was passing by, and asked in a cold voice.
"The actual situation is about the same. That newcomer is indeed a bit arrogant." The person glanced at Scar and said, lowering his head.
"Very good! The newcomers are becoming less and less disciplined." Du Long nodded and strode towards Han Li's stone chamber.
However, at that moment, a black light flashed on the number plate hanging from his waist.
Du Long stopped, took off the number plate, and frowned as he looked at it.
"Lucky brat." He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards his residence.
"Lord Du Long?" Scar asked hesitantly.
"I have a match to fight. Don't worry, after the match, I will give you an explanation for your arm injury." Du Long said as he walked.
"Lord, focus on your match. I don't need any explanation. I just can't let your prestige be damaged." Scar quickly waved his hand.
Du Long nodded in satisfaction, glanced back at Han Li's room "Three Three Two," and quickly walked into his room.
"Boy, I'll let you live a little longer." Scar glared at Han Li's residence with hatred and turned to leave.
……
Han Li was naturally unaware of everything that happened outside.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in his room "Three Three Two," holding the last Tarot Beast Core between his two fingers. After a slight hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed it.
Then, he closed his eyes and continued to circulate the Yuhua Ascension Skill.
A moment later, the second Profound Aperture on his leg emitted a faint light, which grew brighter with the passage of time.
After an unknown period, with a soft "poof" sound, the light emitted from this Profound Aperture suddenly brightened, then dimmed again.
Han Li opened his eyes, a hint of joy on his face.
With the help of the stellar power of the three Tarot Beasts, he finally opened the second Profound Aperture.
After letting out a long breath, he slapped the ground with one hand, and his body leaped up with the force. Then, with a movement of his legs, he moved swiftly around the room, his speed much faster than before, and the sense of heaviness in his body was much reduced.
As he delved deeper into the cultivation of the Yuhua Ascension Skill, he valued it more and more, especially in the current environment, and it was imperative to complete it as soon as possible.
However, he only had one Profound Point left on him at the moment, and he needed to earn some more.
Just then, the number plate he had placed on the bed suddenly lit up with black light, emitting a buzzing sound.
Han Li took the number plate, and a line of small characters appeared on it.
"It's just what I wanted." A smile appeared on his face, and he opened the door and walked out.
Within the ninth area, there were a dozen Profound Warriors gathered at the moment. Seeing Han Li appear, they cast their gazes over him, a strange look on their faces.
Han Li didn't pay attention to this, quickly leaving the place and soon arriving at the exchange hall.
He didn't stay here, but walked into another passage.
The passage was a series of steps leading downwards, quickly reaching the bottom, which was another hall, similar in size to the exchange hall above, but the light was somewhat dim.
At the front of the hall was a huge stone door, isolating it from the outside world.
Standing in the hall at the moment was a large man with a single horn on his head, and no one else. Seeing Han Li appear, the one-horned man looked over.
"Are you Li Feiyu?" The one-horned man asked, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Yes." Han Li hung the number plate on his waist.
"Very good, you're here just in time. You have a match later, prepare yourself well." The one-horned man nodded, walked to the stone door, and slapped it with his palm.
With a "click" sound, a small door, only wide enough for one person to pass through, opened on the stone door.
The one-horned man turned to signal Han Li to wait here, then stepped out.
"Everyone, the following match is a rare sight. One of the two contestants is a Tiger Scale Beast with an age of over 3,500 years. This beast is making its fourth appearance today, and has already defeated three Profound Warriors in one breath, even tearing two of them apart and eating them. It is a truly man-eating beast!" The one-horned man's impassioned voice echoed in the arena, causing cheers of excitement from the stands.
Perhaps to highlight Han Li's first appearance, the other two arenas were suspended at this time. The entire venue only had Han Li and the Tiger Scale Beast's match.
"And the other contestant is also extraordinary, a very rare Profound Warrior from the Immortal Realm, Li Feiyu!" The one-horned man continued to shout.
As soon as these words came out, the audience in the stands was in an uproar, and cheers resounded throughout the cave!
"A Human Profound Warrior? It's been many years since I've seen one!"
"Oh, what a rare thing!"
"Hehe, if I remember correctly, there hasn't been a Human Profound Warrior since the last one was torn apart in the Profound City arena a thousand years ago. After all, humans are too weak."
"Vile humans, we must scrape off his flesh inch by inch!"
A burst of exclamations and jeers came from the stands in all directions, like a landslide and tsunami.
"The Profound Battle between the Tiger Scale Beast and Li Feiyu is about to begin. Interested viewers, please place your bets as soon as possible. Once the match begins, betting will be stopped immediately." The one-horned man looked at the scene in front of him, secretly pleased, and announced loudly.
At this moment, the betting platform also announced the initial odds for Han Li and the Tiger Scale Beast, which was surprisingly one to five.
"I bet on the Tiger Scale Beast, one hundred Profound Coins!"
"I also bet on the Tiger Scale Beast, one hundred and fifty Profound Coins!"
"I also bet three hundred Profound Coins, Tiger Scale Beast!"
"Old Chen, these three hundred Profound Coins are your last gambling capital, are you betting it all?"
"Before I came in, a good brother of mine was killed by a Human cultivator from the Immortal Realm. I never thought I would meet a human here today. Even for that brother, I must bet all my property that this person will die!"
The public announcement of Han Li's identity as a Human cultivator caused a great uproar, and the number of people participating in the betting also increased greatly, and basically everyone was betting on Han Li's death.
Before long, as the number of bettors increased, the odds for Han Li and the Tiger Scale Beast gradually rose from one to five to one to twelve. That is to say, if someone bet on Han Li to win, and finally won the bet, then one hundred Profound Coins would become one thousand and two hundred coins. Conversely, it would be the opposite.
But even so, the vast majority still bet on the Tiger Scale Beast.
After all, no one would refuse free money.
"Time's up, betting is over, now the match begins!" The one-horned man shouted loudly, and the huge sound waves rolled and spread over the arena.
"Rumble..."
A sound of friction rang out, and the stone door connecting the dark room to the Profound Battle arena slowly rose.
The light from outside shone in, casting a bright shadow at the doorway.
Along with it came a sound of roaring and cheering like a tsunami. The people watching from the stands around the Profound Battle arena, under the guidance of the host, gradually became more excited and frenzied.
Han Li slowly stood up, passed through the stone door, and came to a huge Profound Battle arena paved with black stones.
He walked step by step to the center of the arena, lowered his head slightly, carefully looking at the dark red bloodstains that had penetrated the ground for many years, and had completely immersed into the black stone, feeling a faint stench in the surrounding air.
"So this is a human, this body looks too thin..."
"Boring, can't stop the Scale Beast's attack at all..."
"He doesn't even have armor, and he's barehanded, isn't he just asking for death?"
"What's the point of this kind of match, it's just a public feeding, no wonder the odds are so high..."
……
On the stands, a sturdy blue-skinned man pointed at a slightly weaker one-horned man beside him, laughing wantonly:
"This is the human you bet on to win? I said, you kid is crazy about money! If he can win, I'll kneel down and call you daddy, hahaha..."
"Who... who said that! Until the end, no one knows if a miracle will happen." The one-horned man's expression was also very awkward, although he was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't have much confidence in his words.
He originally thought that the odds for this human were much higher than the Scale Beast, and he wanted to take a chance, but when he saw Han Li's appearance after he appeared, he had almost given up.
"Haha, a miracle? Maybe there will be! I didn't expect you kid to be so naive after staying in this godforsaken Jilin Void Realm for so long!" The blue-skinned man laughed loudly.
The one-horned man didn't speak anymore, his face changing from green to white.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to hope that this guy who made him lose money and face would die as miserably as possible...
Boos rose from the Profound Battle arena. Not only them, but almost everyone believed that this human, who looked so frail, would definitely not be a match for the Scale Beast.
They began to look forward to a bloody feast that was about to come!
