Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

"Alright, I'll take over the affairs of the association. You can manage them after you're discharged from the hospital."

"Brother Chen, I'm only an A-level talent. In the future... you should find someone else to manage me."

Li Xiang blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Just from what he saw just now, there were more than a dozen S-level geniuses who wanted to join the club. How could he, an A-level, assign tasks to them?

It's simply not convincing to the public.

In this world, strength is everything!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen merely smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about that. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll find a way to upgrade you to S-rank."

what?

These words startled everyone.

Even Jiang Cha stared at him in disbelief.

This isn't about advancing to C, B, or A level. S level represents the known limit of talent for ordinary people. If it were that simple, would it still be a one-in-a-million genius?

Ye Chen patted Li Xiang on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about hospitalization and treatment costs. Just focus on recovering and get discharged as soon as possible."

Li Xiang was still in a daze.

Ye Chen didn't linger. After staying for a while, he left the hospital with Jiang Cha.

As they walked out of the hospital, Jiang Cha asked, "Where to next?"

Ye Chen took out his phone and, while searching for Li Wan's number, said, "You should go to work. Don't worry about me. The important thing is to improve the power of the Spirit-Devouring Sword as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cha nodded, "Alright, then call me anytime if you need anything."

"it is good."

Jiang nodded and drove away from the hospital.

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze. Standing still, he made a phone call to Li Wan.

The call was quickly connected, and a teasing female voice came through.

"You're such a busy person, how come you have time to call me?"

Ye Chen smiled. "Mentor, do you have time? I'd like to see you to discuss something."

"What is it?"

"Um... let's talk about it in person."

"Let's meet at Baicha Jingyuan then."

"it is good."

soon.

Inside a private room at Bai Cha Jing Yuan.

Ye Chen and Li Wan sat facing each other, with a pot of tea on the wooden table in front of them, from which wisps of smoke rose.

It was clear that Li Wan had dressed up specially for today. She wore a milky white silk dress that accentuated her waist and hip curves, and a delicate sapphire necklace around her neck. Combined with her fair skin and exquisite features, she exuded a strong aura of a mature and sophisticated woman.

Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.

Is this still the same decisive and efficient Dragon Soul Mentor who jumped straight down from a hundred meters in the air?

Why the sudden change to a pure and sensual style?

Stimulated?

Li Wan looked at Ye Chen, who was somewhat lost in thought, her eyes sparkling, and a confident smile appeared on her lips. She was quite confident in her outfit today.

"What, don't you recognize me?"

Ye Chen withdrew his wandering gaze and chuckled.

"Look at what you're saying. I could forget anyone but you. Without you, I wouldn't exist."

"Then why haven't you contacted me for so long? Do you think I can't teach you anything anymore?"

"Of course not! I've been really busy lately. I've been wanting to treat you to a meal for a while, but I haven't been able to find the time."

"Glib-tongued."

Li Wan frowned slightly, pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly took out the gift he had prepared beforehand and handed it over.

"Master, this is a youth-preserving pill I obtained from a friend. It can maintain your appearance to the greatest extent possible, and it's perfect for you."

"A youth-preserving elixir? Such a thing exists?"

Li Wan was somewhat surprised, and after taking it, she examined it carefully.

Ye Chen clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

Of course there's no such thing; that's something from the cultivation world!

However, he still made up an explanation: "This is made by concentrating the essence of the most high-end skin care products on the market and combining it with anti-aging technology. It works very well and you can't buy it in ordinary places."

After hearing this, Li Wan finally smiled.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen regained his composure.

"Mentor, I'd like to know, what are the consequences of increasing my strength too quickly?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Wan put down the Youth Preservation Pill and looked over. She sensed something unusual and subconsciously probed Ye Chen's cultivation level before her eyes widened instantly.

"Martial Artist Level Three?! When did you become a martial artist?!"

"I was lucky. The Dragon Vein Grass I obtained in the last Secret Realm Trial raised my talent to SS level, greatly improving my recovery ability and drug resistance. I've been using Qi and Blood Potions to improve it lately."

As Ye Chen spoke, he unleashed the aura befitting an SS-rank Qilin Body.

Li Wan sensed it for a moment, and her eyes lit up.

"It really surpasses S-rank!"

"And I feel like I can continue to improve by absorbing energy potions!"

Ye Chen then asked, "I just want to know, will doing this cause any negative reactions?"

Li Wan answered seriously:

"Although the medicines are mature products that have been iterated many times, it is still possible that absorbing too much will leave residue. You'd better cleanse your body of impurities every now and then, otherwise it will definitely affect your future cultivation."

"Oh, that's not what I'm worried about."

Ye Chen quickly added, "I meant that my rapid advancement might affect others, for example, whether they'll be taken away for testing or research..."

Upon hearing this, Li Wan burst out laughing.

"What are you thinking? How could that be?"

"There are countless talents in this world, and countless possibilities for mutation. How could someone be studied just because they've increased their strength too quickly? Besides, let alone martial artists and martial masters, even grandmasters and great grandmasters are plentiful in every country. Who would be curious about you? You won't attract any attention from above until you reach the Martial King level. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"You contacted me just to ask about this?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Hehehe, why don't you just ask over the phone?"

"Hehe, I mainly missed my advisor, and I just wanted to see you too."

Li Wan's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

"You're not so bad, you still have some conscience. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay, but I can't let you pay. It's on me."

"Hehe, okay."

……

Two hours later.

Ye Chen watched as Li Wan, her face flushed, got into the car.

I don't know what's wrong with this woman, but in two hours, they drank a full six bottles of red wine!

Can't stop it!

During this time, she completely changed her mentor-like demeanor, acting more like an older sister and younger brother, and saying many inexplicable things. Sometimes, her bizarre actions, fueled by alcohol, almost made Ye Chen have wicked thoughts.

Although this was wrong, Ye Chen had a feeling that even if he actually made a move on her, she wouldn't resist...

Ye Chen only snapped out of his thoughts once the vehicle merged into the traffic.

We took a taxi straight to Dragon Soul University.

Just as I got into the car, Bai Ningbing called.
