Su Han looked towards the mission hall. It wasn't exactly a sea of people, but it was certainly bustling.
There were seven or eight mission desks handling inquiries and assignments. Seeing one that was unoccupied, Su Han immediately walked over. This was where one handled business and accepted missions. Su Han directly presented his identification and his test results for this session, his sole objective being to pick up a mission.
"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment!"
Not long after.
A woman, appearing to be around thirty years old, working behind the mission desk, quickly completed the process. It was smooth sailing as Su Han had all his documents, and his records were already in the system. His visit was merely a formality for handover.
Soon, after returning his identification, the woman at the desk handed him a mission form!
"Mr. Su Han, these are the missions you are currently eligible to accept! Given this is your first time undertaking a mission at headquarters, the mission levels won't be too high. You can only accept up to S-level missions. We apologize, but it will be better next time. With your current rank, you can accept SS-level missions, and if you form a team, you can take on SSS-level missions!"
Form a team?
Su Han immediately inquired, "Are there any requirements for team members?"
"Of course. Team members need to have at least SS or SSS level certification!"
Looking at Ye Chen beside him, Su Han recalled that this fellow possessed SSS-level certification. Along with Ye Xiaoshuang, the three of them could form a small team.
After understanding the situation.
Su Han casually accepted an S-level mission and then left the mission hall.
...
After a simple S-level mission.
Su Han then brought Ye Chen and Ye Xiaoshuang over, forming a small combat team!
They returned to the mission hall once more!
Seeing the newly formed team, the staff at the mission hall seemed a bit concerned, as the three of them didn't appear to be seasoned veterans.
However, with Su Han's firm insistence and the support of his five thousand years of combat power!
They were finally permitted to jointly accept an SSS-level mission!
"I must admit, I'm truly uneasy, but headquarters is short-handed, and missions are piling up. Be careful with this mission, the danger factor is very high. If anything goes wrong, choose to retreat immediately, and we will dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
Leaving headquarters, Su Han once again embarked on his mission journey!
As for SSS-level missions, they were easily within his grasp, especially since, besides himself, he had the Lava Crystal Beast to assist.
Su Han was essentially using missions to gain experience!
...
Time flew by.
A month passed. Before the arena competition began, Su Han had adapted to life at headquarters and had completed numerous missions!
With the assistance of the Lava Crystal Beast, Su Han swiftly dealt with many formidable foes... Initially, Ye Chen and the others were quite shocked by this process, but later, both he and Ye Xiaoshuang became somewhat numb to it.
Their awe of Su Han's strength grew even deeper!
They knew this fellow was a monster!
Su Han himself had also grown considerably over the past month of relentless mission grinding. His cultivation successfully broke through the ten thousand mark, reaching around thirteen thousand.
He had also absorbed a significant amount of life essence and soul essence.
The day before the arena competition, the group had arrived at the headquarters' training base located on Little Qiong Island!
This competition would also be held at this base!
"Brother, look quickly, it's so lively over there!"
As soon as they disembarked from the plane, Ye Xiaoshuang exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Wudi, on the other hand, was beaming with pride and in excellent spirits. Although he was accustomed to such grand occasions, the biggest difference this time was Su Han's presence.
"Hahaha, these youngsters haven't seen much of the world. Very well, as a special exception today, before we return to the hotel, you can buy whatever you want along the way. I'll cover the expenses!" Ye Wudi declared.
Rarely this happy, Ye Wudi was much more generous than usual.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoshuang immediately stepped forward, calling for Su Han and Ye Chen to join her as they happily broke away from the main Ye family contingent.
"Brother Su Han, this opportunity cannot be missed. My grandfather is rarely this generous, so don't hesitate to buy whatever you want!" Ye Xiaoshuang said.
Ye Chen, standing beside them, immediately looked at his sister with disdain. With Su Han around, he felt he was no longer as appealing.
He felt as if his sister completely disregarded him!
"Hey, you little girl, you're not even married yet, and your arms are already turning outwards!"
The group soon arrived at a weapon shop. After all, weapons were permitted in this competition, and for many, a suitable weapon could significantly boost their combat power.
Secret treasure-grade weapons, in particular, could provide a tremendous advantage.
Soon.
Su Han also entered. He already possessed many hidden weapons. This time, he intended to purchase some decisive weapons. After all, his Poison Smoke Palm, while a powerful palm technique with terrifying might, couldn't deliver an immediate fatal blow!
Therefore, Su Han wanted to buy weapons like swords and sabers!
Soon, he spotted a decent weapon – a short dagger that could be worn at the waist. It looked delicate yet exceptionally sharp, especially useful when encountering fierce beasts in the wilderness.
"Boss, how much is this?"
"Thirty million!"
"It's just an ordinary secret treasure, can you make it cheaper?"
"This is the lowest price, we have a fixed price here!"
Ultimately, Su Han acquired it for thirty million. Since Elder Ye was paying, his attempt to haggle was merely a formality. Overall, the price wasn't too steep.
After obtaining the short dagger, Su Han immediately went to find the Ye siblings. However, at that moment, he saw the Ye siblings seemingly arguing with someone at the entrance!
"Hmm? What's going on here..."
Walking out to see, he indeed found that at the entrance, the Ye siblings appeared to have recognized some people. However, one of the effeminate men seemed to be trying to flirt with Ye Xiaoshuang, which led Ye Chen to punch him directly.
This incident sparked the dispute!
"Hey, hey, what's going on here?"
Suddenly, from the crowd, a middle-aged man emerged. He looked to be around fifty years old, adorned in opulent clothing, exuding an aura of wealth.
As he appeared, the surrounding people promptly stepped back!
"Reporting to Elder Song, I was just walking properly when this brat Ye Chen suddenly punched me. Although I'm not his match, he can't bully people like this!" the effeminate man said immediately. At this point, almost no one among the onlookers dared to speak up.
The middle-aged man immediately frowned. After glancing at Ye Xiaoshuang beside them, he understood the situation!
