Purple Firmament Gold Crystal

The Demon Suppressing Guard worked fast.

On the third day, Ye An returned to Jiang Shuying's office. A notice recording his merit points and a Silver-Rank Demon Hunter Token were already on her desk.

The wooden box looked much like the one that had held Ye An's first Four-Star Bronze Badge, though its lid bore more gold-thread decoration.

Ye An opened it. Inside lay a silver Token with a single star engraved in its upper right corner.

One-star silver rank.

That corresponded to Early Essence Gathering.

For all that Ye An had distinguished himself on this mission, his cultivation was indeed only at Early Essence Gathering. A one-star Token suited him.

After putting the Token away, Ye An picked up the merit record from the desk and read through it.

Cangwu Demon Hunter "Stone": led the team at White Rock Slope during Annan's mission to encircle and kill members of the Heaven Overturning Cult; intercepted fleeing cult members at White Rock Slope. Merit points: 5,000.

Single-handedly killed Blood Butcher, a warrior at the Early-Stage Peak of Gathering Essence. Merit points: 15,000.

Killed Blood Yang, a Late Essence Gathering warrior, alongside Huo Wangchuan of the Annan Martial Alliance. Merit points: 30,000.

Miscellaneous: 200.

Total: 50,200.

That was more or less what Jiang Shuying had estimated.

"Well? Nothing missing from your battle record?"

Jiang Shuying nodded, then pointed to a letter on the desk. "Huo Wangchuan of the Annan Martial Alliance sent this specifically for you. He doesn't know your exact identity, so he mailed it to the Cangwu Demon Suppressing Guard."

The envelope was intact, with no sign that it had been opened.

Just as Ye An opened the letter, he noticed
