After leaving the Giant Axe Arena, Jiang Yan brought Red Kite straight to the Heilongshan Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
He planned to rent a residence on the imperial main star as a temporary base. As an external member of the Heilongshan Branch, he was fully qualified to lease property through the company's internal channels.
"Brother Jiang Yan, if you're renting a place, there's no need for that."
Mingyu spoke up immediately.
"I own plenty of real estate here. It's just sitting idle anyway—pick any one you like, I'll give it to you directly."
As an external deacon of the Heilongshan Branch—and a Domain Master–level powerhouse—Mingyu was practically a local land baron within the Heilongshan Empire.
A single estate was nothing to him.
More importantly, he had been worrying about how to build a closer relationship with Jiang Yan. Now that the opportunity had dropped right into his lap, how could he miss it?
Lord Manluo's attitude toward Jiang Yan had already made one thing clear:
showing goodwill to Jiang Yan was never a wrong move.
"That's a bit embarrassing," Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Not at all," Mingyu replied firmly.
"You're an external member of our Heilongshan Branch and a peerless genius. I'm technically your direct superior—rewarding a talent like you with a property is perfectly reasonable."
He added meaningfully, "Besides, I might need to rely on you in the future. This estate isn't worth much—don't refuse it."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan stopped declining.
"Alright, then I'll accept it. Thank you, Brother Mingyu."
After a pause, Jiang Yan added casually, "By the way, I'll be going to the Giant Axe Arena soon to fight for the title of 'Giant Axe Warrior.' When the time comes, Brother Mingyu can place a bet—you definitely won't lose."
Since Mingyu had shown him such goodwill, it was only right to return the favor.
"Oh?" Mingyu's eyes lit up.
"You're heading to the Giant Axe Arena?"
He nodded immediately. "Let me know when the match starts. I'll definitely go watch."
He wasn't worried in the slightest.
Even if it were someone like Lei Buqun—a special elite—obtaining the title of Giant Axe Warrior wouldn't be difficult. For a peerless genius like Jiang Yan, it was even less of a concern.
Soon, Jiang Yan arrived at the estate Mingyu had gifted him.
It was a vast manor, located in one of the most prosperous districts of the imperial star. Servants were already in place, and everything was fully operational.
Jiang Yan directly appointed Red Kite as the manor's steward and entrusted all affairs to her.
Since her primary duty was to ensure his safety anyway, Red Kite didn't refuse.
Virtual Universe · Heilongshan Island · Nine-Star Bay
Jiang Yan's figure appeared inside his virtual manor.
Janet, Venina, and several others were already waiting there.
They had officially registered Galaxy Group within the Virtual Universe and were preparing to expand aggressively.
"Jiang Yan," Venina said, "many people on Earth are dissatisfied with the current situation and want to leave the planet to develop in the wider universe."
"Tell them to wait a few more days," Jiang Yan replied calmly.
Earth stepping into the universe was inevitable—but right now, Earthlings were far too weak. Letting them rush out would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Venina nodded. "Understood."
Jiang Yan smiled and changed the topic.
"How's the company coming along?"
"Everything's fine—except for one thing," Janet said helplessly.
"We're short on funds. Everything costs money, and the capital you gave us is almost used up."
"Exactly—we're completely strapped for cash," Jiang Fang, Enchanting, Tang Yongqing, and the others echoed.
"Short on money?" Jiang Yan laughed.
"That problem will be solved very soon."
He then explained the martial-battle betting plan.
The women were naturally worried about Jiang Yan participating in life-and-death combat, but in the end, they chose to trust him.
Venina hesitated. "But our capital is limited. Even if we bet, the profits won't be very large."
"Capital isn't a problem," Jiang Yan waved it off.
"I'll transfer funds to you later."
Although his own account had less than one Mixed-Element Unit left, he now had a King-level pinnacle powerhouse backing him.
Borrowing a few dozen—or even a hundred—Mixed-Element Units from Red Kite was trivial. She would never refuse.
An Immortal Marquis like Hu Yanbo could possess millions of Mixed-Element Units.
As a King at the limit, Red Kite's assets would hardly be inferior.
Soon, Jiang Yan borrowed one hundred Mixed-Element Units from Red Kite.
He transferred ten Mixed-Element Units each to the Universal Galaxy Bank accounts of Janet, Venina, Jiang Fang, Enchanting, and Tang Yongqing.
Their account levels instantly rose from one-star to three-star.
Staring at the extra ten Mixed-Element Units in their accounts, the women were completely stunned.
Ten Mixed-Element Units equaled ten trillion cosmic coins.
Some small galaxies weren't even worth one hundred billion cosmic coins.
An ordinary Immortal might not earn a single Mixed-Element Unit in ten thousand years.
"With money in hand," Jiang Yan said with a smile,
"don't put all your focus on the company. Buy cultivation resources and raise your realms."
Everyone nodded seriously.
After discussing future plans and studying the Origin of Life together in the virtual universe, Jiang Yan returned to reality.
"Master, you've received an email from the Giant Axe Arena."
Just as Jiang Yan was about to begin studying the Domain Master chapter of the Four Elephants Spear Canon under Red Kite's guidance, Salamander's voice sounded.
"Oh?" Jiang Yan smiled.
"Looks like my first opponent has been matched."
He opened the message.
"The fight is tomorrow morning at nine o'clock… Location: Rock Prison Star, one light-year from the imperial main star."
A light-year was nothing—Red Kite could teleport them there instantly.
She had already mastered Spatial Strangulation and Spatial Teleportation. One jump could span thousands of light-years.
"Let's see who the opponent is…"
Jiang Yan scrolled down—and his gaze froze.
"Ronnie… Nolanshan?"
"Someone from the Nolanshan family?"
Meanwhile · Another City on the Imperial Star
At a Nolanshan family branch estate.
"Ronnie, ninety-nine consecutive victories—congratulations. One more win and you'll earn the title of 'Fighting Martial King.'"
A handsome young man with long pointed ears laughed loudly.
"Pula, I told you long ago not to stay stuck on some remote planet. If you'd entered the Giant Axe Arena earlier like me, you'd already have a title."
"With your strength, winning a hundred consecutive battles would take half a month at most."
Pula smiled faintly.
"Ronnie, as a disciple of the clan head—and someone who's already mastered a domain—you should follow the ancestor's path as soon as possible. Aim directly for 'Giant Axe Warrior' and bring glory to the family."
"It's not too late," Pula added casually.
"But your next opponent won't be weak."
Ronnie snorted coldly.
"No matter how strong he is, I, Ronnie, will personally send him on his way."
At that moment, an alert sounded.
"Hm?" Ronnie grinned.
"The Giant Axe Arena sent my match notice."
Pula leaned over. "Let's see who your opponent is."
After reading the message, Ronnie froze.
"…Thunder Emperor?"
"A newcomer?"
Ronnie blinked in disbelief.
"The Giant Axe Arena… prepared a welfare match for me?"
