Thirteen days had passed since the day he completed the Ascension.
Ye Qiyan had stayed in the Matrix Space, only occasionally going out for a stroll and having Lisette take a few photos of him as keepsakes.
For the rest of the time, Ye Qiyan remained in the Train's Training Ground, familiarizing himself with and using the three items that had undergone Ascension.
He still did not know who his next opponent would be.
Although Miatila had kept the Netherworld System blocked out all this time, it had never sent him a single message either.

Disguised as a vampire noble, Ye Qiyan followed the crowd
