As the sphere of light entered his body, Chen Yan felt that his previous understanding of spatial laws had been like an elementary school student looking at calculus. Now, at the very least, he had a university textbook in hand.

Within another extravagantly luxurious private virtual space in the Terra Empire.

The young man addressed as Young Master—the young master of the Fire Qilin Clan, Huo Lin Tian—did not so much as raise an eyelid. His slender fingers merely tapped lightly against the armrest.
"Understood." His voice carried an innate indifference. "Prepare the funds. Also, inform the auction house that the Fire Qilin Clan wants this item."
The old man hesitated. "Young Master, that... would be against the rules."
Huo Lin Tian finally opened his eyes. Two clusters of golden flames flickered within them. "In Terra, the words of the Fire Qilin Clan are the rules."
