Hollace didn't expect Fade to be so frank. His mannerisms weren't like a young man at all. After all, a grand national martial arts event like this was coveted by countless young martial artists, and they would jump at the opportunity to participate. Who wouldn't want to show off at Martial Arts Convention and make a name for themselves in the martial arts world?

On the contrary, Fade wasn't interested in attending the Martial Arts Convention at all. Fade's indifference towards the event was so unexpected that it stunned Hollace and rendered him speechless. "If there's nothing else, then I'll go now." Fade looked at the dumbfounded man and said.

Hollace came back to his senses and blurted, "Mr. Chen, please don't leave. The Martial Arts Convention will reward you generously. There will be secret scrolls on all kinds of martial arts techniques and elixirs. As long as you get a good result, there will be a reward."

"If that's the case..." Fade hesitated for a moment, but he was still unconvinced. After all, common martial arts secret techniques were of no use to Fade. The Nine Sun Flaming Skill that he cultivated was already the top-level secret technique.

Hollace noticed that Fade was lost in his own thoughts. "Mr. Chen, I'll reveal a piece of information to you, but you mustn't tell anyone about it!" he whispered.

Hollace's mysterious tone piqued his interest. "What is it?"

Hollace's eyes scanned the whole room cautiously before he answered, "It is said that the top five of the Dragon List will be granted qualification to explore Dragon Mausoleum during the Martial Arts Convention."

"A chance to explore Dragon Mausoleum!" Fade's eyes lit up as he thought to himself, intrigued.

Rumors on the appearance of Dragon Mausoleum had been spreading around for some time. Fade had sent his people to inquire after Dragon Mausoleum, but they all returned without a clue. They couldn't even figure out its location and when it appeared.

But now, the top five on the Dragon List to attend the Martial Arts Convention actually had the chance to explore Dragon Mausoleum. Fade was genuinely surprised.

"Dragon Mausoleum is heavily guarded, and we're not even sure when and where it appeared. Are you sure Martial Arts Convention received permission to explore Dragon Mausoleum?" Fade asked, still doubtful.

Hollace nodded seriously and insisted, "I don't know the exact source of information, but I'm certain that it's true, because my master told me this himself."

Fade nodded in agreement and pondered over Hollace's words.

Hollace's master, Galeno, was the Martial Arts League's leader and a Heaven Level expert. He was a well-known powerhouse on the Divine Dragon List. If the news came from him, then it might really be true. Hollace decided to strike on the iron while it was hot when he saw that Fade finally seemed interested in the topic. "Mr. Chen, with your strength, it is no doubt that you'll obtain the qualification to explore Dragon Mausoleum as long as you participate."

He paused to observe Fade's reaction and continued, "Besides, my master said you should feel free to ask him if you have any requests. He'll fulfill them for you as long as they're reasonable."

"I..." Fade contemplated the idea of participating. As he was considering the offer, his eyes flicked towards Jasmine, who stood by quietly with her head hung low. An idea suddenly came to him, and he turned to Hollace. "I will attend Martial Arts Convention, but under one condition."

"What is it, Mr. Chen? Please tell me!" Hollace pleaded.

Fade pointed his finger at Jasmine and said, "I want Jasmine to come with me. Would Galeno agree to this?"

Upon hearing Fade's request, Hollace clapped his hands in delight and replied, "It's not a big deal at all! All we have to do is to get one more ticket, and I can get it done without my master."

"If that's the case, then thank you for your help." Fade nodded.

Hollace was elated. "That's settled then! I'll go through the formalities on your behalf."

Shortly after Hollace bid goodbye and departed, Fade and Jasmine left Night Rose Club and decided to head towards the school by car.

Both of them didn't say a word as they walked towards the vehicle. When they both entered the car, Fade asked Jasmine, "I signed you up for the Martial Arts Convention without asking you first. You won't get angry at me, would you?"

Jasmine shook her head and replied softly, "I'm sure you have your own reasons for signing me up, Mr. Chen. I understand."

Fade's eyes softened as he gently explained, "You have already achieved the Black Level in terms of your strength. However, with what you learned from Westbrook Studio, you're still far from being on par with others when it comes to actual combat. Those who are attending the Martial Arts Convention are all elite fighters, and I reckon it will be a good opportunity for you to improve your technique." "Alright, I'll work hard to improve myself," Jasmine replied earnestly.

Fade hummed his acknowledgment and kept his eyes on the road while driving them back to school.

The next day, Fade received news from Romeo informing him that arrangements had been made with the representative from Encyclo Hall. Romeo reminded Fade that he may pay a visit to the representative when he had time to introduce themselves to each other properly.

Fade didn't hesitate when it came to Joey's matters, so he immediately rushed over to the place.

The rendevous point was in an office building. As soon as he arrived at the destination, Romeo led him into the building.

Fade briefly observed the surroundings. Office workers dressed in suits and ties were busy working on their respective stations. The office building wasn't much different than the ordinary companies. If Romeo had not told Fade that this was Encyclo Hall, he would have thought that it was just a regular office.

After passing through the office workers, they finally arrived at the general manager's office.

"Mr. Liu, I brought a friend," Romeo greeted.

He gestured to the man sitting across the room and said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, this is Pancho Liu, the general manager of Encyclo Hall."

"Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Fade Chen, whom I mentioned about to you before."

Manager Liu was about 40 years old. Dressed in a modern suit and leather shoes, he looked just like a typical businessman rather than someone involved in the martial arts world.

Despite this, he could feel Manager Liu's strong positive energy with his own. His positive energy was at least at the middle-stage of the Black Level.

Manager Liu's eyes betrayed a hint of surprise when he saw that Fade was younger than he expected. He tried to cover his amazement with a friendly smile. "Hello, Mr. Chen. I've heard so much about you." "Hello, Manager Liu. I'm very pleased to meet you too." Fade shook hands with him politely.

Beside them, Romeo casually sat on the sofa and said, "Both of you, let's skip the formalities and get down to business!"

The two of them nodded and sat down.

Manager Liu went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Chen, Romeo told me that you were planning to bid for a consultation from Encyclo Hall for some answers, right?"

Fade nodded. "Here's the thing. I'm searching for someone, but the trail went cold. I want to look for some clues from Encyclo Hall."

"Well, generally speaking, it shouldn't be a problem for us to search for a person," Manager Liu said.

A satisfied smile painted across Fade's face. "If so, Manager Liu, could you sell the consultation opportunity to me now? I'm willing to pay for it at any price."
