"What's going on?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"Brother Li, don't be surprised. The white crystalline powder on this stone platform is made from the ground bones of a rare beast. It was originally a material for refining beast pills, and it has the effect of stimulating the opening of acupoints. Using it here is just to reveal all the true acupoints of the person being tested." Chen Yang said calmly.

On the stone platform, Shi Chuankong was initially a little surprised. Then, after discovering that there seemed to be nothing unusual about his body and hearing what Chen Yang said, he calmed down. Although his expression was still a little displeased, he didn't stop it and allowed the crystalline powder to adhere.

The acupoints on his body continued to light up one by one, and finally stopped at the fifty-second point.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes.

Crab Daoren's gaze was fixed on the white crystalline powder, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He frowned, as if he had a slight impression of this thing in his memory, but he couldn't remember it at the moment.

Shi Chuankong originally wanted to hide some of his strength, but now it was completely exposed. He walked down from the stone platform with a somewhat unfriendly expression, without saying a word.

"Brother Shi, don't be angry. This stone platform crystalline powder not only allows all the true acupoints to be revealed, but also has a certain effect on promoting cultivation. It can only be used once today, and there will be no chance to use it again in the future." Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly comforted him.

Hearing this, Shi Chuankong silently felt the changes in his body, and his expression softened slightly.

"Shi Kong, fifty-two acupoints." The round-faced recorder said with a smile.

The long-eared, square-faced recorder opened the book in his hand, and the vermilion pen moved like a dragon, recording Shi Chuankong's situation.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's your turn." The round-faced recorder turned his gaze to Han Li and smiled.

Han Li nodded and walked up.

After stepping onto the stone platform and standing in the position where Shi Chuankong had stood before, Han Li took a deep breath and silently began to circulate the *Da Zhou Tian Xing Yuan Gong*. White light lit up on his body, and acupoints lit up one after another.

After all thirty-seven acupoints lit up, the white crystalline powder on the ground also stirred up and adhered to Han Li, but there were no further changes on his body.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yang's eyes. He seemed surprised that Han Li's number of acupoints was much smaller than Shi Chuankong's.

"Li Feiyu, thirty-seven acupoints." The round-faced recorder scanned Han Li and said.

After the square-faced recorder finished recording, he nodded to Chen Yang.

At this time, Han Li also walked down from the stone platform and returned to the others.

"Both of your assessments are fine. Since you have reached the level of obedient citizens, you can join Fellow Daoist Chen Yang's command. Congratulations, congratulations." The round-faced recorder cupped his hands slightly at the three of them and said with a smile.

"It is also our Qingyang City's fortune to have the three of you join us. Congratulations, congratulations."

As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" sound from above, causing the entire stone room to shake violently.

The expressions of Han Li and the others changed slightly, but Chen Yang and the others looked as usual.

"Brother Li, Brother Shi, don't be surprised. The fourth floor above us is the Xuan Fighting Arena of our Qingyang City. It should be in the midst of a battle right now," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Xuan Fighting Arena?" Shi Chuankong immediately perked up when he heard this.

They were already enthusiastic about gambling. He and Han Li first met in a similar place in Yuanhuang City.

A smile appeared on his face, and just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt a dizziness in his head and weakness in his legs. He felt top-heavy and fell forward involuntarily.

Just as he was about to crash into Chen Yang, the latter smiled and took a step back, letting him fall to the ground.

"You..."

Han Li immediately knew that something was wrong, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mind sank like Shi Chuankong's.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue, wanting to activate the Divine Refining Technique, but then he discovered that his sea of consciousness had unknowingly become lifeless. At the same time, the strength in his body suddenly disappeared for some reason, as if it had been drained.

Before he could think about anything, he felt his vision darken, and his whole body fell forward.

No matter how powerful his divine sense was, he couldn't support it at this time and completely fainted.

Before the scene in front of him completely darkened, he only saw a tall figure with a ferocious appearance walking in from the door.

When Chen Yang and the others saw him, they immediately bowed respectfully to him and called out, "City Lord."

That ferocious man was naturally the lord of Qingyang City, Du Qingyang.

"Chen Yang, you did a good job." Du Qingyang's gaze swept over Han Li and the others and said.

"It's all thanks to the City Lord's White Xuan Beast Bone Powder, haha..." Chen Yang said with a smile.

When Crab Daoren heard the words "White Xuan Beast," he suddenly realized that Han Li and the others had fainted because this thing had invaded their bodies through their acupoints.

Unfortunately, it was too late to know this now.

"City Lord, then I'll send him to your closed-door chamber later?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"No hurry, I have other arrangements for this person," Du Qingyang waved his hand and said.

The two spoke without avoiding Crab Daoren, as if they didn't take him seriously at all.

Crab Daoren stood there respectfully, neither taking action to save them nor blindly running away.

"Then this puppet..." Chen Yang seemed to remember that there was still a Crab Daoren, and asked tentatively.

"Lock up that human and demon first, you know what to do with them. As for this puppet, although it has a little self-awareness, it's useless. You can do whatever you want with it," Du Qingyang glanced at Crab Daoren and casually ordered.

With that, he put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.

"Serve me as a servant, or be torn into a pile of scrap metal by me now, you choose," Chen Yang looked at Crab Daoren coldly and said.

Crab Daoren didn't say a word, but glanced at Han Li with his eyes tilted, clasped his hands, and bowed to Chen Yang.

"This puppet of yours doesn't have much fighting power, but it's good at adapting to the situation. This ghostly place is very boring, so it's not bad to have a puppet like you follow me," Chen Yang said with a smile.

With that, he stopped looking at Crab Daoren, but squatted down and took out two black stone bottles from his sleeve, placing them on Han Li and Shi Chuankong's arms respectively, and opening the bottle stoppers.

Two three-inch-long black centipedes crawled out of the bottle mouths, shaking their two white whiskers that looked like eyebrows. After crawling on Han Li and the others' arms for a while, they easily broke through their skin and crawled in.

Crab Daoren saw a bulge rapidly moving under the sleeves of the two, stopping at their hearts and coiling into a ring-shaped bulge before stopping again.

"Congratulations, Captain Chen Yang. With this great achievement, I think the position of Deputy City Lord of Qingyang City will definitely be yours in the future," the round-faced recorder stepped forward and congratulated him with cupped hands.

"Haha, I'll take your good words," Chen Yang said triumphantly.

Crab Daoren's gaze fell on Han Li and the others, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

...

After an unknown period of time, Han Li woke up faintly.

It was dark all around. He was currently in a dark stone room, which was not large, only about four or five zhang in area. The surrounding walls were black, and the room was almost empty. There was only a stone bed in the center.

He was lying on it, wearing a white bone shackle on his hands and a pair of bone shackles as thick as arms on his feet.

Han Li struggled with the shackles with all his might. The shackles rattled, but they didn't move at all.

"Don't bother dreaming. These restraints are specially made. Even someone who has opened hundreds of acupoints can't break them." At this moment, a voice sounded from outside, and then a tall figure walked in. It was Chen Yang.

Behind him was a gray-robed youth with dark skin and narrow eyes, standing with his head bowed and a respectful expression.

"Chen Yang, I believe I have never done anything detrimental to you, and I have already agreed to join Xuan City. Why did you plot against us?" Han Li was not surprised by Chen Yang's appearance. He glanced sideways and said slowly.

"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Li is calm in the face of danger, truly admirable. But what you said is ridiculously naive. Do I have to be offended by you to deal with you? This Accumulated Scale Void Realm is a prison, and we are vicious prisoners. Did you expect to see justice here?" Chen Yang sneered and said disdainfully.

"I've been taught. Now that I've fallen into your hands, I wonder what you plan to do with me?" Han Li frowned upon hearing this and said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry. Although we are prisoners, we are not bloodthirsty demons. This is the Xuan Fighting Arena of Qingyang City. We prisoners have nothing to do besides hunting scaled beasts and cultivating. Life is very boring. Watching gladiatorial fights and gambling is probably our only fun. And this Xuan Fighting Arena is the City Lord's gold mine, a cornucopia. Fellow Daoist Li, you are a human, and humans are extremely rare in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm. If you participate in the competition, I think there will be many people watching." Chen Yang smiled faintly, but the smile sent chills down one's spine.

"You captured me for this reason?" Hearing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Xuan City doesn't support useless people. If you want to live well here, play well in the competition. As long as you can prove your worth, you may be able to fight for your freedom," Chen Yang said noncommittally and faintly.

Han Li's expression was uncertain after hearing these words.

"This person is handed over to you." Chen Yang ignored Han Li and said to the gray-robed youth behind him.

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will train this person well and there will be no mistakes," the gray-robed youth hurriedly assured.

"Very good! I'm tired, I'll go rest for a while." Chen Yang yawned, then turned and walked outside.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, where are Fellow Daoist Shi and Crab Daoren now?" Seeing him leave, Han Li hurriedly asked loudly.

But Chen Yang did not pay any attention to Han Li, and his figure quickly disappeared outside the door.
