The gray-clothed youth respectfully saw Chenyang off out of the house, then turned around and walked back, a sneer appearing on his face.

He grabbed Han Li's shackles, forcefully pulling him up, then raised his other arm, instantly transforming into a blur and fiercely striking Han Li's lower abdomen.

With a muffled "bang"!

The gray-robed youth's punch was extremely powerful, and the force was sharp, like a rotating steel knife stabbing into his stomach.

Han Li felt his internal organs almost turned upside down, his face instantly flushed red, then turned pale, sweat pouring down his forehead, and he couldn't help but grunt.

"Hehe, kid, how does that punch feel?" the gray-robed youth said with a sinister smile.

Han Li coughed a few times, head lowered, without saying a word.

"Consider yourself lucky, kid. Once you're here, no matter how great your abilities, you'll have to listen to me obediently. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you taste something even more enjoyable." Seeing this scene, a look of satisfaction appeared on the gray-robed youth's face, and then he took out a key to open the shackles and fetters on Han Li's body.

Han Li's face showed a look of surprise. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and slowly stood up.

"Don't try to escape. Take a look at your chest," the gray-robed youth said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Han Li looked down and noticed a slight bulge on his heart. He hurriedly scanned it with his spiritual sense, and his face changed.

He saw a black centipede coiled around his heart, its sharp insect feet flashing with strands of black light, clinging tightly to his heart.

"That's the Black Tribulation Insect, our Qingyang City's unique secret insect. If you dare to run away, or try to expel the Black Tribulation Insect, this insect will immediately bite through your heart, making you die a miserable death," the gray-robed youth said triumphantly, seeing Han Li's expression.

Han Li's expression flickered, but he quickly regained his composure.

The gray-robed youth originally planned to admire Han Li's distraught appearance a little longer, but he didn't expect the other party to calm down so quickly, and he couldn't help but feel bored.

"Hmph! Take this, this is your number plate. Follow me, I'll introduce you to the situation here." The youth snorted, took out a black token and threw it over, then walked outside.

Han Li took the token. He saw his name "Li Feiyu" written on one side, and a large "nine" on the other side, with three smaller characters below, three three two.

His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, but honestly followed.

Han Li looked at the gray-robed youth's unguarded back and didn't have any thoughts of resisting or attacking. Judging from that punch just now, the gray-robed youth's strength was not weak, at least in terms of the Mysterious Apertures opened in his physical body, he was on par with him.

The two quickly left the stone chamber and came to a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, a large hall appeared in front of them.

The hall was extremely large, with a size of thousands of feet. The walls were built with a kind of black stone, and black纹路 were engraved on them.

The black walls faintly revealed a black light, making them look indestructible.

The front of the hall was connected to the outside, and bright light shone in. At the same time, bursts of cheers came from outside, seemingly extremely lively.

At the deepest part of the hall, a white stone table several feet long lay horizontally. Seven or eight demon clans in crimson clothing sat behind the table, appearing to be the staff here.

Many people were gathered in front of the stone table. These people were all dressed the same. Their upper bodies were all naked, only wearing a loose cloak, and their lower bodies were in knee-length shorts, waiting in line.

On the left and right sides of the hall, there were doorways, each leading to a corridor, not knowing where they led.

"Kid, remember this place. This is the Xuan Fighting Arena's main hall. It's the most important place for you. The arena for the competition is outside, and these people are Xuan Fighters just like you." The gray-robed youth glanced at Han Li and said casually.

"There seem to be quite a few Xuan Fighters here." Han Li glanced outside, quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked at the people in the hall, his eyes flickering as he said.

"Naturally, our Xuan Fighting Arena has a lot of Xuan Fighters. Some are slaves like you, and some are Xuan City residents who want to train themselves. Because there are many, in order to make it easier to distinguish, the Xuan Fighters are divided into ten districts, and you are Xuan Fighter number 332 in the ninth district." The gray-robed youth smiled and said.

"So that's how it is. Then what are these people gathered here for?" Han Li now understood the meaning of the token and asked again.

"Take a look at your number plate. Is there anything below your name?" the gray-robed youth asked in return.

Hearing this, Han Li took out the token and saw a small silver number "ten" below his name.

"Ten... what is this?"

"Those are Xuan Points. You Xuan Fighters get a certain reward for participating in battles. Each time you appear, you can get some Xuan Points regardless of whether you win or lose. Naturally, winning gets you a lot more Xuan Points. And you newbies who have just joined can get ten Xuan Points for free. Xuan Points are good things here. You can come here to exchange them for various items, weapons, beast cores, healing pills, and so on. As for how to exchange them, there's an exchange list over there. You can take a look at it later." The gray-robed youth pointed to the wall next to the white stone table, where there was a table pattern.

Han Li looked at the list on the wall, his eyes lighting up.

He didn't care about weapons, healing pills, and other things, but he really needed beast cores.

"In addition to the benefits I just mentioned, Xuan Points can also be exchanged for the opportunity to enter the Star Pool to cultivate." The gray-robed youth was very satisfied with Han Li's reaction and continued.

"Star Pool? What is that place?" Han Li withdrew his gaze and asked.

"That's a pool constructed by Qingyang City Lord using special means. It can absorb and condense the power of the stars in the sky. The power of the stars in the Star Pool is extremely rich. Cultivating in it is much more effective than swallowing and refining beast cores, and it's very helpful for opening Mysterious Apertures." A hint of eagerness also flashed in the gray-robed youth's eyes as he said.

Hearing this, Han Li's heart also skipped a beat.

"To enter the Star Pool for cultivation, it costs one hundred Xuan Points each time. Don't even think about it now," the gray-robed youth said with a sneer.

Han Li didn't care about the gray-robed youth's ridicule, and thoughts began to run through his mind.

Judging from the situation introduced by the gray-robed youth, his current situation wasn't too bad. As long as he could get beast cores, he could continue to become stronger.

As for the Black Tribulation Insect in his body, Zi Ling, Shi Chuankong, Crab Daoren and other problems, he could only slowly find ways to solve them.

If what Chenyang said was true, as long as he could show enough value, he believed that these problems could be solved.

Everything depended on whether he could survive in this Xuan Fighting Arena!

"The quality of the weapons, beast cores, and other things here is better than outside, and there's also the Star Pool. As long as you have the ability, living in this Xuan Fighting Arena will be better than outside." The gray-robed youth seemed to see what Han Li was thinking and said meaningfully.

"Hopefully," Han Li said indifferently.

"The situation here at the Xuan Fighting Arena is roughly like this. Next, you can slowly learn about it yourself. This passage leads to the resting place in the ninth district. There's a room that belongs to you there. You can go there yourself later. If there's a battle for you, a notification will appear on the token." The gray-robed youth pointed to an entrance to a passage on the left side of the hall and said.

Han Li looked over. There was a large "nine" written on the passage, and he nodded.

Other passages also had some markings on them, with other numbers. It seemed that they led to resting places in other areas. There were also some different markings, one of which was clearly the Star Pool.

However, the door to that passage was tightly closed and could not be entered.

"You were brought in by me. Stay here honestly in the future, fight your battles well, and don't have any other thoughts. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The gray-robed youth suddenly approached Han Li, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and warned in a cold voice.

"Yes," Han Li said with his eyes lowered.

The gray-robed youth's expression eased slightly, and he turned and walked outside.

After Han Li waited for him to leave, he stood in place for a moment and walked outside, soon arriving outside the hall.

The hall was suspended in mid-air. Below was a huge plaza, and in the central area were three oval arenas, arranged in a triangular shape.

The three arenas were surrounded by a wide trench, and outside the trench was a vertical smooth wall tens of feet high. A row of black fences stood on top of the wall. The materials used were the same as the walls in the hall, and they flashed with strands of black light, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.

Behind the fence were layers of higher and higher viewing seats, with countless seats placed densely.

In the center of the audience seats was a wide platform, which was the place for betting. A huge sign stood above the platform, displaying the names of the Xuan Fighters on the stage, marking their respective odds.

"I bet on Cai Zheng, fifty Xuan Coins!"

"I bet on the Scale Wolf Beast, seventy Xuan Coins!"

Many people surrounded the betting platform, competing to place their bets.

At this moment, battles were taking place in all three arenas. Two arenas were Xuan Fighters fighting with Scale Beasts, and the third arena was two Xuan Fighters fighting each other.

Because the Xuan Fighters' clothes were few and thin, blood would spurt out every time they fought, and the battle scenes were bloody and fierce.

Soon, the fighting in one arena ended. A Xuan Fighter was torn into pieces by a giant wolf Scale Beast. Blood and flesh were everywhere on the huge arena, extremely bloody.

The audience on the stands showed extreme excitement on their faces when they saw this scene, even some crazy expressions. Cheers, excited screams of successful bets, and angry roars of failure were like a storm.

It seemed that although the gray-robed youth said that they could get Xuan Points whether they won or lost, he didn't say that if they lost, they might lose their lives, so there was no point in talking about how many Xuan Points they would get.

Han Li watched quietly for a while, then turned and left, came to the depths of the hall, and looked at the exchange list on the wall.

As the gray-robed youth said, there were many things that could be exchanged for Xuan Points here, various beast cores, pills, weapons, and so on.

"Zhengshou Beast Core, five hundred years of beast age, five Xuan Points."

"Tai Bear Scale Beast Core, eight hundred years of beast age, ten Xuan Points."

"Pig-faced Beast Core..."

"Jiaolin Pill, refined with the Jiaolin Beast Core of a thousand-year beast age as the main ingredient, eighteen Xuan Points."

"Golden Edge Tiger Bone Blade, refined from the bones of the Golden Edge Scale Tiger of a two-thousand-year beast age, thirty-eight Xuan Points."

"Bone Rhino Shield..."
