"Yes," Ye Chen said, his expression indifferent. He flipped his palm, produced the spatial ring, and with a thought, drew the space apart. He reached inside and retrieved ten Level Four Dark Tribe tokens. They were ten pieces of purplish-black jade, emanating a surging baleful aura, like an Asura's sea of blood—just one glance made one’s body turn cold: Ye Chen clapped his palm, setting the ten pieces of purplish-black jade onto the table.

The young maiden, seeing these ten pieces of purplish-black jade, couldn't help but have her pupils contract. A trace of shock surfaced on her nearly woodenly beautiful face, and she cried out in a startled voice, "Level Four Tribe Tokens!!"

Though her voice was soft, it instantly drew the attention of everyone around. The young geniuses present all possessed astonishing constitutions, sharp of hearing, and they couldn't help but turn their gazes towards the ten purplish-black tokens on the counter. Their hearts involuntarily skipped a beat, and their pupils narrowed.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, glanced at the young maiden, and said, "Exchange these for me. Also, here is a Level Nine Tribe Token; this is for completing a mission, which can be exchanged for 25 God Points." As he spoke, he took out another Level Nine Dark Tribe token from his spatial folding pouch.

The young maiden belatedly snapped back to her senses, her eyes unable to conceal their shock. She gazed at the few pieces of purplish-black jade on the table. After a moment, she quickly stood up and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go invite the supervisor."

Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, and he nodded slightly.

The young maiden quickly reached for the phone on the desk and rapidly keyed in a few numbers. After a 'ding,' she hurriedly said, "Supervisor, there is someone here who has completed an exceptionally high quota of missions. The God Points to be moved are several thousand; could you please come over? This is window number 16. Yes, thank you, Supervisor." Having said that, she hung up the phone, looked up at Ye Chen, and said sweetly, "The supervisor will be here shortly. Please wait a moment; the transaction amount is too large, I cannot authorize it."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

With these ten Level Four Dark Tribe Chief tokens, it was enough to exchange for 4000 God Points, allowing him to study the Heavenly Dao Stele 400 times! Judging by the transaction volumes in this mission hall, perhaps this amount hadn't been traded in a whole month. Not long after, a man dressed in a swallow-tail coat walked swiftly out of a nearby corridor. He wore a metallic satellite positioning watch, and his leather shoes were brand new. He strode over quickly, and his eyes immediately locked onto Ye Chen. He approached with a humble smile, his eyes bright and sharp, looking at Ye Chen with slight respect yet polite formality, smiling, "Hello, I am the supervisor here."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. "My name is Ye Chen."

The middle-aged man in the swallow-tail coat had an amiable expression and smiled. "You were the one submitting the mission, correct? Please follow me; we'll discuss things upstairs."

Ye Chen did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, he collected the ten pieces of purplish-black jade from the counter and naturally followed the man in the swallow-tail coat toward the nearby elevator.

Those around the hall witnessed this scene and couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.

"That... that seems to be the tokens of ten Level Four Dark Tribe Chiefs!"

"Did I see that wrong?"

"He's being led to the second floor by the supervisor. I heard you only go to the second floor if the mission involves over a thousand God Points!"

"What kind of mission did this kid complete to earn that many God Points, over a thousand!"

Everyone murmured quietly, some frowning, others looking solemn.

Simultaneously, Ye Chen followed the man in the swallow-tail coat to the second floor. After walking a few steps on the clean and spacious metal floor, they turned left into a room. This room was expansive and luxurious, covered with a red carpet. The sofas were made of rare dragon-scale leather, topped with mink fur cushions, and in the center was an oval-shaped office desk.

"Please sit," the man in the swallow-tail coat motioned with a smile.

Ye Chen was not polite and sat casually on the sofa. With a flip of his hand, he took out the ten pieces of purplish-black jade and an additional Level Nine Dark Tribe Chief token.

When the man in the swallow-tail coat saw the eleven pieces of jade laid out on the desk, his gaze settled upon the purplish-black jades. His eyes shone with a brilliant light, yet he maintained his gentle smile. "Very good. I will register this for you now. Please present your Genius Medal."

Ye Chen took out his newly acquired Genius Medal and handed it to the man in the swallow-tail coat. The man took it, authenticated it on the detector next to the computer, and then activated a scanner. A beam of rainbow light radiated from the computer, scanning Ye Chen's entire skeletal structure, iris, and skin. Everything matched the data records.

"Identity confirmed," the man in the swallow-tail coat smiled. "Mission complete. The total is 4025 God Points, which I have transferred to your virtual account."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, said nothing more, collected his Genius Medal, and stated, "Thank you." Then, he simply turned to leave.

Leaving the room, Ye Chen took the elevator down alone.

"Although the total exchangeable value is over two million God Points, cashing it all out at once would inevitably raise suspicion, and I don't need that much right now. I can come back to exchange more whenever necessary." Ye Chen felt relaxed. He walked out of the elevator, completely ignoring the fiery gazes cast his way from within the hall, and strode out of the lobby.

After leaving the hall, Ye Chen arrived at the villa allocated to him. Servants were standing at the entrance, bowing respectfully to greet him.

Ye Chen directly requested a room and ordered everyone not to enter or disturb him without permission. These servants were hired from the slave market; chips were implanted in their brains, and they dared not disobey Ye Chen’s orders in the slightest.

Ye Chen rested briefly in his room, then entered the virtual world, arriving at Master Bai Ya's palace. Led by Cai Feng, he ascended to the lone peak that soared into the clouds. Dismounting Cai Feng, Ye Chen's figure moved like the wind, arriving beside the chessboard. From a distance, he saw Master Bai Ya seated before the board, gazing intently, the surrounding breeze having stilled, as if holding its breath.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, and he walked over slowly, pausing outside the chessboard, standing still for a long time without speaking.

Time flowed...

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Venerable Bai Ya’s gaze shifted slightly, pulling back from the chessboard. He immediately sensed something, raised his head, and saw Ye Chen standing before him. His expression was one of slight surprise, followed by a faint smile. "I just stepped out for a moment; how long have you been here?"

"Not long," Ye Chen shook his head and walked forward, murmuring, "I have arrived at the headquarters of the First-Rank Genius Hall. I wonder when Master will be able to come..."

"Anytime," Venerable Bai Ya stood up and chuckled lightly. "Wait for me there for one day; I will arrive the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened, and he lowered his head. "Understood."

"Go wait for me first," Venerable Bai Ya waved his hand. "I’ll set off now. Currently, I am not in the imperial capital of the Blazing God Empire; it will take some time to get there."

"Mm," Ye Chen nodded slightly, then directly turned to leave, exiting the virtual world.

Removing the helmet, Ye Chen let out a long breath, then stood up and stretched his limbs. With a flip of his palm, he took out the Demon God Palace from the inner lining of his armor. Little White Rabbit lost its pillow, blinking sleepily as it opened its eyes. Seeing that it was Ye Chen, it let out another yawn and lazily rolled over to continue sleeping. "There's still one day left. If I enter the cultivation chamber within the Demon God Palace, I can cultivate for 100 days." Ye Chen held the Demon God Palace, about to enter it, when suddenly, a fierce roar echoed from outside the entire villa: "Ye Chen, get out here!"

This voice was like a crashing thunderclap, echoing across the heavens, shaking the very walls of the metal villa until they seemed to tremble. In the swimming pool inside the villa, waves violently surged, splashing water everywhere, as if echoing the roar: Ye Chen was momentarily stunned, then frowned. Just then, a figure rushed in from outside the door in a sorry state—bruised and swollen, one leg dragging—it was one of the villa's servants.

"Master," the servant choked out before Ye Chen, tears streaming down his face. "Several people have come outside. The leader seems to be Hua Longtian from the Huatian Hall. He brought several helpers and demands that the Master go out, or they threaten to tear down our villa."

"Hua Longtian!" A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He hadn't expected this reckless fool to come seeking death on his own initiative. He had been penalized 50 God Points because of this man before, which had already ignited Hua Longtian's fierce killing intent.

"Go!" Ye Chen took a step forward, grabbed the servant's body with his hand, and channeled a surge of energy into the servant's body. The bruises and swelling on the servant's face rapidly vanished, and the fractured leg bone was instantly restored to firmness under the guidance of the divine power.

Ye Chen circulated the divine power slightly within the servant's body, instantly unblocking several acupoints, washing the tendons and bones, and purging the impurities from the skeleton. This immediately elevated the servant from the early stage of the Ghost God Realm to the peak of the Ghost God Realm!

The servant’s eyes widened. Feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body, he stared at Ye Chen with disbelief and bewilderment. Seeing the master’s indifferent expression, he couldn't help but weep, his throat seeming to catch. He clenched his fists silently, gnashing his teeth in emotion.

By this time, Ye Chen had already swept outside the villa and lowered his hand. The servant staggered to his feet and glared viciously at the figures opposite.

At the villa entrance stood four figures. The leader was indeed Hua Longtian, currently dressed in brilliant gold brocade robes, standing tall and imposing, looking towards the villa. When he saw Ye Chen emerging from within, two cold beams immediately shot from his eyes, and his fists clenched silently.

Beside him stood two men and a delicately built young woman. This woman appeared to be no more than sixteen or seventeen, clad in crimson, with a perfectly graceful figure. Her red lips revealed white teeth, her eyes held stars, and her delicate, oval face carried a hint of classical charm. A jade-green belt adorned with tiny, shimmering gems cinched her waist.

The two men beside her were one holding a folding fan, dressed entirely in elegant white ancient robes, handsome and dashing; the other was clad in purple, looking cold and aloof, seemingly uninterested in everything.

"Stinky brat!" Ferocious light flickered in Hua Longtian’s eyes, and with a sneer, he drawled, "You’ve finally come out!"
