After taking the consciousness-sensing helmet, Xiao Yang bid farewell to the two of them.

His purpose in coming here had already been achieved.

He could hardly wait to go back and see what the God of War Palace's Virtual Space on Earth was like.

Although the original novel had described it somewhat, Xiao Yang, who had never experienced it firsthand, was still extremely curious.

After all, there had been no such thing as Virtual Space in his previous life.

At most, there had only been head-mounted VR.

That stuff was worlds apart from a true Virtual Space.

Even though Earth's Virtual Space was far inferior to the Virtual Universe, it was still incredibly novel to Xiao Yang.

Qiao Si and John did not stop him either.

Their mission had already been completed.

Although they wanted to get acquainted with Xiao Yang, judging by his expression, he was eager to get home and experience the wonders of Virtual Space as soon as possible.

They could not very well hold him back.

After leaving Thunder Hall, Xiao Yang quickly returned home.

Unable to wait any longer, he went down to the basement and locked the door.

When entering Virtual Space, he could not sense his surroundings.

Unless Xiao Yang became much stronger.

If danger arose at such a time, it would be difficult for him to react in time.

Even with the helmet's built-in alert function, it was the same.

Therefore, when entering the virtual world, he had to ensure that his surroundings were safe enough.

After locking the door, Xiao Yang pressed his finger against the scanner on the metal case.

The next moment, the metal case opened automatically, revealing the consciousness sensor inside.

It was a dark blue helmet.

It did not actually look all that different from an ordinary helmet.

After putting it on, Xiao Yang began selecting his alert range.

He directly set an alert range of ten meters.

As long as anyone came within ten meters of him, the helmet would automatically eject him from Virtual Space.

The next moment, Xiao Yang appeared in a thousand-square-meter room.

The room was fifty meters long, twenty meters wide, and five meters high.

He was currently dressed in a simple white robe.

The room was huge and contained quite a few things.

Furniture such as a bed came as standard.

What surprised Xiao Yang was that there was actually a swimming pool here!

Beds, a swimming pool, desks and chairs, a luxurious dining table, recliners, and a training area with yoga mats—

The enormous open room of more than a thousand square meters had been neatly divided into many areas.

Just then, an electronic voice suddenly sounded.

"Welcome, God of War Xiao Yang."

"This is your private room within the God of War Palace. Other than yourself, no one may enter your room."

"Within the God of War Palace, you may order whatever you wish to eat or drink. There are many delicious dishes here that do not exist in reality."

"On your desk is a copy of the God of War Palace Regulations. It can help you better understand the God of War Palace."

"Have a pleasant time in the God of War Palace."

Curiously, Xiao Yang walked over to the desk.

At that moment, he also saw the scenery outside the window.

Outside stretched a vast, boundless expanse shrouded in clouds and mist. Brilliant sunlight streamed through the clouds, refracting into seven-colored radiance. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

The scenery outside the window truly made one feel at ease.

After looking at it for a few moments, Xiao Yang opened the God of War Palace Regulations on the desk.

The opening section introduced the God of War Palace.

It also mentioned the councilors, the chairman, and so on.

Ordinary Gods of War like Xiao Yang were merely regular members of the God of War Palace.

Only by breaking through to the Planetary Level could one become a councilor.

As for the chairman, they were one of the five strongest people on Earth.

Beyond that, it also contained an introduction to this Virtual Space.

There was basically every kind of food here, and the prices were not high for Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang had already ordered plenty of food to try.

It was his first time enjoying delicious food in Virtual Space.

Basically, anything he could think of eating was available here.

He could even experience only the taste without feeling full.

That way, he could keep eating forever.

As Xiao Yang ate, he continued reading the introduction to Virtual Space's functions.

There was also a mall, an auction hall, an arena plaza, a Trial Tower, and more.

When he saw the Trial Tower, Xiao Yang's eyes immediately lit up.

That was because there was an additional note after the Trial Tower entry.

"Upon reaching Trial Tower level 5, one may obtain the post of Ultimate Martial Arts Hall Inspector, receive one serving of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion, an SS-grade combat uniform, a complete set of weapons, any three complete sets of secret manuals, and one set of Black God Ancient Civilization Relic."

As a God of War, one could receive rewards simply by reaching Trial Tower level 4.

Of course, one had to join the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall.

Because Xiao Yang had signed a Genius Contract with the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, he was still part of the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall.

This condition applied to him as well.

However, Xiao Yang quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.

Trial Tower level 5 meant clearing the fifth floor of the Trial Tower.

In the original novel, when Luo Feng had mastered the fourth level of Ninefold Thunder Blade and reached 3.5 times force output, he had only raised his Trial Tower level to 3.6.

Xiao Yang's force output level was only 3.6 at present.

This also meant that it would be difficult for him to even clear the fourth floor right now.

After all, Xiao Yang did not dare claim that his combat experience could compare to Luo Feng's in the original novel.

His movement technique was even far inferior to Luo Feng's.

After all, he had never placed much importance on movement techniques.

However, at that moment, Xiao Yang suddenly noticed something.

Psychics could also challenge the Trial Tower!

The assessments in the Trial Tower generally involved attacking groups.

Such assessments were highly advantageous for Psychics.

Of course, that was assuming the Martial Warrior and Psychic assessments in the Trial Tower were the same.

He planned to try it later.

If it truly did not work, he would wait until he learned the fourth or fifth level of World Annihilation before taking another look.

By then, Xiao Yang's chances of reaching the fifth floor of the Trial Tower would be quite high.

After finishing the God of War Palace Regulations, Xiao Yang left his room.

He planned to buy a combat uniform suitable for himself at the mall.

While he was at it, he would sell Baili Huanxiang's flowers at the mall.

Very soon, Xiao Yang arrived at a hall.

As he appeared, the lights in the hall began to dim, and a spotlight fell upon him.

A voice rang out through the hall, introducing Xiao Yang.

The number 3468 at the front of the hall suddenly changed to 3469.

This number also meant that there were currently 3,469 God of War-level experts on Earth.

Quite a few people looked at Xiao Yang with curiosity in their eyes.

Because no one here knew Xiao Yang's identity!

Before this, none of them had ever heard the name Xiao Yang!

Xiao Yang could not be bothered with socializing.

He casually grabbed a waiter and had him lead him to the mall.

The hall contained not only God of War-level experts, but also many beautiful, perfectly proportioned attendants.

There were probably more than a hundred of them.

After hearing Xiao Yang's request, the attendant he had grabbed respectfully led him to the mall.
