Chapter 861: Conversion and Absorption

As Han Li's gaze roamed down the list, the prices of the items continued to increase. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

While traveling to Green Goat City with Chen Yang and the others, Han Li had learned some things about the Scalptia Spatial Domain, and while he now knew in retrospect that Chen Yang was not to be trusted, there was no reason for Chen Yang to lie to him about the scaled beasts in this domain.

Hence, he had a rough idea of the value of the items on the points exchange list.

The scaled beasts of the Scalptia Spatial Domain were formidable creatures that were born with Spatial Tempering Stage power at a minimum, and they could absorb starpower to further enhance their own powers. Hence, the older a scaled beast was, the more powerful it was considered to be, and the more starpower its beast core would contain.

For all of the gladiators here, regardless of whether they had come here of their own volition or been enslaved like Han Li, all of them had a shared objective, which was to earn profound points so that they could exchange for items on the list to enhance their own powers.

As long as one had sufficient profound points, even beast cores of scaled beasts that were tens of thousands of years old could be purchased, but of course, the price was extremely steep.

At the moment, he only had ten profound points, so he would have to bide his time for now.

Han Li shook his head as he heaved a faint sigh, then continued to

All of a sudden, his attention was drawn to a certain item on the list.

"Two-thousand-year-old Tarot Beast Core, three profound points."

Han Li's eyes immediately lit up as he made his way over to the stone table, then handed over his badge to one of the crimson-robed employees as he declared, "I would like three two-thousand-year-old Tarot Beast Cores."

Many of the nearby gladiators faltered slightly upon hearing this, then turned to Han Li with undisguised mockery in their eyes.

"Are you new here? Tarot Beast Cores contain a lot of starpower, but due to the special physical constitution of these beasts, the starpower in their beast cores is very chaotic, making it very difficult to absorb, and there's a very good chance that most of it will be wasted," the crimson-robed employee said.

"I see," Han Li mused with an enlightened expression.

No wonder these beast cores were so cheap.

"Thank you for informing me of this, but I would still like to exchange for these beast cores," Han Li said with a smile.

With only ten profound acupoints at his disposal, he really couldn't afford anything else.

The crimson-robed employee didn't speak any further on the matter, and he pulled out a short silver rod before waving it over Han Li's badge, upon which his ten profound points were instantly reduced to one.

After that, he pulled out three egg-sized beast cores before handing them to Han Li.

Han Li stowed the beast cores away, then began to make his way toward the ninth area.

After passing through a dark passageway, he arrived in a spacious area that resembled a cave.

The cave was hemispherical in shape, and around twenty to thirty stone chambers had been carved into its walls, with a number assigned to each chamber.

Several glowing white stones were embedded into the ceiling of the cave, but they were only able to illuminate a small area, while the rest of the cave remained quite dim.

Han Li quickly turned his attention away from the tree root and began scouring his room with his spiritual sense. After ensuring that nothing was amiss, he sat down onto the bed, where two sets of gladiator uniforms, consisting of a cape and a pair of shorts, had been prepared for him.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the uniforms, but he still took off his clothes and put on one of the sets of uniforms.

After setting down his original clothes onto the bed, he opened his mouth to release his Heaven Controlling Vial, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Prior to reaching Green Goat City, he had swallowed the Heaven Controlling Vial in case of unforeseen mishaps, and it was extremely fortunate that he had done so. Otherwise, there was a very good chance that the Heaven Controlling Vial would've already fallen into the hands of Chen Yang.

After inspecting the Heaven Controlling Vial momentarily, Heaven Controlling Vial swallowed it again before taking a seat under the white tree root.

Given the current circumstances, cultivation was his top priority.

Han Li pulled out a Tarot Beast Core, and sure enough, it did contain a great deal of starpower, but all of it was very chaotic and churning like boiling water.

His brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, but he still swallowed the beast core before closing his eyes to cultivate.

The beast core quickly melted into a ball of starpower in his stomach, but this burst of starpower was like an untamed wild horse. It immediately began darting in all directions in his body before seeping out into the surrounding air.

Han Li hurriedly channeled his Wingform Ascension Arts to absorb the starpower, but just as the arena employee had proclaimed, he was only able to absorb a small portion of the starpower, while the rest continued to seep out of his body.

Right at this moment, the Heaven Controlling Vial in his stomach suddenly shuddered, following which a burst of faint light appeared at its opening, and all of the dissipating starpower was instantly sucked back in.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and he hurriedly began channeling his Wingform Ascension Arts again, but he wasn't able to absorb much of the starpower before the rest was sucked into the Heaven Controlling Vial.

To that, he could only heave a resigned sigh.

When it came to the ability to absorb starpower, there was no way that he could compete against the Heaven Controlling Vial.

The starpower within the Tarot Beast Core surged into the Heaven Controlling Vial, and a drop of green liquid gradually took shape.

In the instant that the drop of spirit liquid fully took shape, the Heaven Controlling Vial immediately ceased its absorption of starpower, leaving the remaining starpower to swirl around the vial.

Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this, then continued to channel his Wingform Ascension Arts to absorb the residual starpower around the vial.

After being drawn back into his body by the Heaven Controlling Vial, the starpower had become far more mellow, allowing him to absorb it with ease, and the starpower emanating from the tree root up above was also fusing into his body.

The starpower surged into the second profound acupoint of the Wingform Ascension Arts, which gradually began to open.

While Han Li was cultivating in his room, Scarface was seated in another stone chamber, seemingly waiting for something.

His mangled arm had already returned to normal, but the skin on the arm was still very purple and bruised.

Occasionally, he would turn to take a resentful glance in the direction of Han Li's stone chamber.

All of the gladiators who had witnessed the incident between Han Li and Scarface quickly departed, with many of them mocking Scarface as they left.
