Thinking of all this, El decided not to rush to find Xiao Yi Xian's whereabouts. After all, El currently had neither the Poison Pill nor the right method to deal with his problem.
With determination, El raised his head and spoke in a tone full of firmness. "System, I would like to apply for a Level Up Mission Evaluation."
Ding!

[Second Mission successfully completed. You successfully defeated 10 existences that have power equivalent to Authority Level 4]
[Third Mission successfully completed. You successfully completed the Medium Difficulty Mission, -Battle Through the Heavens-]
[Beyonder with Serial number 120,000 has completed all Fourth Level Ascension Missions]
Ding!
[Congratulations, your Authority Level has successfully risen to Authority Level 4]
[The upper limit of total combined Attributes has been increased to 300 Attribute Points]
[The upper limit of Ability Level has been increased to Lv, 2]
[The limit of Equipment Level that can be used has been increased to Bronze Level]
[The limit of Worlds that can be stored in the World List has been increased to 100]
[The Difficulty Level of the Mission World has been increased to Medium]
[With the increase in Authority Level, you now have the right to access anything up to the Bronze level. All Reincarnation Room facilities will also be upgraded]
A series of notifications from the System confirmed that El had now officially reached Authority Level 4.
From now on, El was no longer a newcomer to the Reincarnation Room. Authority Level 4 was the first step towards the pinnacle of power in this place.
"With the increase in the ability level limit, I can improve some of the skills I have," El said with a faint smile. However, he quickly added, "But eits... not now."
Although his attribute scores were enough to be categorized as Authority Level 4, or even rival them, his skill level and equipment were still lagging behind.
Currently, with the exception of the Qi Method, El had a total of 11 skills that could be upgraded.
These skills included: Swordsman, Total Concentration Breathing, Sun Breathing Style, Demon Slayer Mark, Spirit Ghost, Zixuan Spirit Flame, Selfless State, Flying sword art, Octane Blast, Accompanying Purple Essence and finally Flame Splitting Tsunami.
However, currently El only has 5 Skill Points that he obtained from the Black Bullet Mission. Therefore, El must use them wisely.
The Beads of Ascension, which allows the sacrifice of two skills to create one new skill with higher potential, is not included in this calculation.
However, as El said earlier, he was in no hurry to use the Beads of Ascension or increase the level of his current skills.
Without wasting any time, El quickly walked towards the red door in front of him, then opened it and exited the Evaluation Room.
Right now, there were more important things he had to do. That important thing was none other than challenging Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
This time, El wanted to prove that she was much stronger and would not be slaughtered in a creative way like before.
***
Along the way to the Training House, El unknowingly attracted the attention of the other Beyonders.
His tattered clothes made him look like someone who had just escaped from a life-and-death battle.
His long black hair was messy, his cultivator robes were full of tears, though his face was still handsome.
The Beyonders who saw him could only stare with pity, thinking El was a poor Beyonder who had almost reached the limit of his existence.
Some even began to whisper, wondering when El would be erased, because in the Reincarnation Room, Beyonder who ran out of Points, without undergoing a mission would be erased from existence.
Meanwhile, El who was too focused on his goal was completely unaware of his shabby appearance that was the center of attention.
After traveling for a while, El finally arrived at the Training House.
However, this Training House was not the usual Training House, but the Authority 4 Specialized Training House, considering his current Level.
Ding!
[Do you want to use the Bronze Level Training House?]
El immediately replied, "Yes!"
Ding!
[The rental price of the Bronze Level Training House is 1000 Points. If you want to rent for 3 Days, the rental price is 3000 Points. Whereas if you rent for 10 Days, the rental price is 10,000 Points]
[Please choose!]
"Just as I thought. The higher the Authority Level, the more points you have to spend," El muttered and then nodded. "Yes. I want a 3-day rental."
Ding!
Successful Rental!
[Educated 3000 Points. Beyonder with Frequent number 120,000 can now use the Training House for the next 3 Days]
Without wasting any time, El immediately grasped the door handle, opened it, and stepped inside the Bronze Level Training House.
The familiar all-white scenery greeted him. Without hesitation, El began to prepare the training opponent, adjusting the place setting, as well as the opponent's strength level.
Basically, this Bronze Level Training House that El was using was not much different from the Black Level Training House, both were enclosed spaces with all-white walls and floors.
However, there was one major difference.
The opponent he would face here was simulated with the strength of a Tier 4 Authority.
After finishing organizing the training opponents and setting up the venue, the space where El stood suddenly underwent a drastic change.
From an all-white room, he was now standing on a long path that ran through the middle of a tranquil bamboo forest.
In the distance, a river rippled gently, with a wooden bridge crossing over it. Night shrouded the sky, illuminated only by the pale moonlight reflecting off the silhouettes of the trees on the water's surface.
At the end of the bridge, a tall and slender muscular man stood tall, surrounded by his calm yet intimidating aura.
His skin was fair, with deep maroon eyes, as if they could pierce the soul of anyone who looked at them.
His long spiky hair, with fiery red tips, was tied up in a ponytail style, adding a regal and disciplined air to his figure.
The man wore a red haori that fluttered delicately in the wind, paired with a pale orange nagagi kimono.
Black umanori-style hakama wrapped his legs, tied with white uwa-obi, while red laced zōri and white tabi socks completed his look.
On the left side of his waist, the Nichirin Sword rests quietly, a weapon common to Demon Slayers.
However, there is one distinguishing feature that makes her so unique and easily recognizable, a pair of hanafuda earrings that hang from her ears, swaying gently in the night breeze.
Expressionless, the man strode slowly across the wooden bridge, his movements so calm and natural, as if he was not just a part of this place, but rather at one with nature itself.
He was not just any warrior.
This figure was Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the most powerful Demon Slayer of all time, a man who had once terrified and traumatized Muzan Kibutsuji just by looking at his earring.
Seeing the opponent in front of him, El's calm expression changed slightly, his eyes radiating deep seriousness.
Without hesitation, he activated the Demon Slayer Mark and Selfless State.
Instantly, El's sense of being changed, no longer just an ordinary human.
Now, El's aura rivaled, or even equaled that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Yoriichi's steps remained calm as he finally crossed the bridge. Once on the other side, his right hand slowly touched Nichirin's hilt, ready to fight.
El did not stay still. With a smooth motion, she drew White Fire, a sword with a white blade tinged with red, out of Sky Pearl Poison.
"Yoriichi-san, please help."
