The warehouse was a maze of shadows and traps, but Lin Chen moved with unnerving calm.
The Authority Token pulsed faintly, sending waves of invisible pressure that disrupted Zhang Wei's control over the environment.
[System Notification:]

Zhang Wei smirked from the shadows.
"Impressive… but let's see how you handle this!"
He snapped his fingers, and dozens of drones armed with sharp blades and electric shock devices swarmed toward Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's eyes glinted.
[Divine Needle Mastery — Combat Mode Activated.]
He moved like a phantom, each needle flick of his fingers neutralizing attacks before they could reach him.
The Authority Token glowed, creating an invisible dome that subtly altered the trajectory of the drones.
Every strike he made was precise, surgical, almost artistic.

Mastery of Life and Death
One drone evaded his initial strike and shot toward a trapped civilian tied to a chair.
Lin Chen's hand shot forward.
[Divine Needle Technique — Life Restoration Strike.]
The needle's aura struck the drone midair, shattering it instantly.
Simultaneously, Lin Chen applied a hidden meridian strike to the civilian, undoing a minor toxin Zhang Wei had injected moments ago.
The system flashed:
[Special Reward Unlocked: Combat-Integrated Divine Needle Technique.]
Zhang Wei's eyes widened.
"This… impossible! He's controlling life and death in real time!"

Authority Token's Power Unleashed
Lin Chen moved across the warehouse, each step radiating invisible pressure.
Machines faltered, traps disabled, and even Zhang Wei's personal influence began to waver.
[Authority Token — Global Influence Mode Activated.]
Staff and civilians previously manipulated by Zhang Wei felt a sudden shift, instinctively halting their actions.
Lin Chen's aura expanded.
"The night belongs to me."
He thrust a needle toward Zhang Wei, a single strike carrying the weight of his medical mastery and Authority Token influence.
Zhang Wei dodged but staggered under the combined force of the aura and precision strike.
"This… boy… you've gone too far!"
Lin Chen's eyes glimmered coldly.
"Only I decide life and death here. And your network ends tonight."

System Notification
[City-Level Task Progress: 80% Complete.]
[Reward Preview: Advanced Combat Medical Technique + Authority Token Ultimate Expansion.]
[Target Status: Zhang Wei — Critical.]
Lin Chen's calm, commanding presence radiated through the warehouse.
Zhang Wei realized he was facing someone beyond ordinary comprehension—
A master who could manipulate life itself, combined with absolute authority.
The first night battle in the city had begun.
But by its end, one thing was certain:
Lin Chen, the Supreme Medical Sovereign, would leave an indelible mark on the city.
