Chapter 415

"That box is called the Devil Box? I did open it, saw what was inside, and became quite interested, which is why I invited Miss Kelly to meet." Wang Yu smiled.

"The Devil Box is made of special materials; without a specially crafted key, ordinary methods can't easily open it—and if subjected to excessive external force, it might even explode, destroying its contents outright," Kelly replied, blinking her large eyes with evident disbelief.

"It seems Miss Kelly isn't the original owner of the Devil Box, nor does she know what's inside," Wang Yu said, stroking his chin.

"Why does Mr. Sai say that?" Kelly frowned, a hint of displeasure crossing her face.

"Though the Devil Box is extremely hard and resistant to ordinary physical means, it's unlikely to explode. Rather, if the object inside suffers violent external damage, there's a real chance it could explode directly," Wang Yu replied.

"You truly opened the Devil Box?" The silver-haired woman blinked in surprise.

This time, Wang Yu said nothing more. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a wooden box, opened it, and placed it on the table before him.

Inside the box lay a simple silver ring, embedded with a tiny black crystal the size of a bean.

"Miss, it's Devil Stone—it really is something from over there?" Bai Lang, seated beside her, exclaimed with delight upon seeing the ring.

Devil Stone?

Something from over there?

Hearing this, Wang Yu's expression subtly shifted.

"Mr. Sai, may I examine this ring personally?" Kelly stared at the ring in the wooden box, her eyes gleaming.

"Of course."

Wang Yu pushed the wooden box toward Kelly and said calmly.

The silver-haired woman pressed the box down, removed the ring, examined it carefully in her hand for a moment, then slipped it onto her finger and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Yu slightly raised his eyebrows but said nothing. His spiritual sense quietly extended, enveloping the silver-haired woman.

Under his vast spiritual sense, every movement of the woman was magnified a hundredfold, meticulously observed.

Bai Lang, watching her actions, also widened his eyes, a trace of tension on his face.

This made Wang Yu glance casually at Bai Lang, and a few thoughts surfaced in his mind.

But the next instant, his expression remained unchanged, though his pupils sharply contracted.

Within his vast spiritual sense, the immense energy on the woman's ring was slowly fading, while simultaneously, a faint, identical energy fluctuation suddenly appeared within her body.

The silver-haired woman was absorbing the immense energy within the black crystal—slowly, but undeniably.

Without hesitation, Wang Yu raised his arm and gestured toward the opposite side, activating his Golden Pointing Technique.

"Whoosh."

The silver ring trembled slightly, then, under a powerful pulling force, flew directly from Kelly's finger toward Wang Yu.

The woman, who had been closed-eyed, suddenly opened her eyes, lifted her pale wrist, and pointed a finger at the flying ring through the air.

"Puff."

The silver ring, which had been flying toward Wang Yu, abruptly halted midair—and under another immense force, slowly drifted back toward the silver-haired woman.

"Psychokinesis."

Seeing this, Wang Yu's expression didn't change, but his outstretched hand curled its fingers, releasing a pulling force several times stronger than before.

"Whoosh."

The ring, which had been drifting toward the silver-haired woman, paused for an instant, then shot back toward Wang Yu, landing firmly in his palm.

Kelly's face flushed with shock. She pulled her hand back, fixed her gaze on Wang Yu, and spoke slowly:

"Who are you? B-rank psychokinesis? No—ordinary B-rank psychokinesis can't reach this level. You're nearly A-rank."

"A-rank? I didn't know my psychokinesis had reached this level."

"But that's secondary. Miss Kelly, what did you mean just now? Were you planning to forcibly take it?" Wang Yu said coolly.

His Golden Pointing Technique was tied to his spiritual power. His spiritual power, strengthened by both cultivation techniques and Star Psychokinesis, far exceeded what he'd just shown—he'd used only one or two tenths of his full strength.

Still, the woman's earlier pull had exerted over a thousand catties of force—her psychokinesis was far stronger than Zhao Jun's D-rank ability in the base. She was at least a C-rank.

"Cough, cough… Mr. Sai may have misunderstood. Miss Kelly merely hadn't finished inspecting the item, so she acted hastily," Bai Lang, who had remained silent during their psychokinesis duel, quickly cleared his throat to defuse the tension.

"Is that so? But I felt Miss Kelly was absorbing the energy from this ring," Wang Yu said, lightly weighing the silver ring in his hand.

"You noticed I was drawing energy from it?" The silver-haired woman was startled again.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I have intervened? I don't know how you're drawing the ring's energy, but I won't let you continue," Wang Yu replied without hesitation.

Bai Lang opened his mouth, but found nothing to say.

The silver-haired woman, however, looked at Wang Yu, then at the ring in his hand, and calmly spoke again:

"So you've known about the energy in the ring all along. That's why you invited me here—to ask about it."

"Correct. I'm very interested in the energy within this ring—and even more curious about the origin of this crystal," Wang Yu said, holding the silver ring and pointing to the black crystal on it.

The silver-haired woman showed no surprise. Instead, she smiled lightly.

"Mr. Sai, I can tell you these things. But what will you offer in exchange? Let me be clear: there are hardly any people on the entire Blue Planet who know the origin of this ring and its Devil Stone."

"What reward does Miss Kelly want?" Wang Yu asked in return.

"I want this ring," the silver-haired woman pointed at the object in Wang Yu's hand, a sly smile on her face.

"Heh, Miss Kelly really knows how to do business—just a few words, and you want to trade for this Devil Ring?" Wang Yu chuckled.

"A few words are worthless, but information is priceless. I'd even say exchanging this single Devil Ring for such knowledge is too cheap," the silver-haired woman said dismissively.

Wang Yu fell silent. He placed one hand on the table and tapped the surface lightly with his index finger, as if weighing whether to accept the deal.

"If Mr. Sai refuses this trade, you'll likely never find another person who knows the origin of this item," the silver-haired girl added with a light laugh, though her words carried a hint of threat.

Beside them, Bai Lang glanced between Wang Yu and the silver-haired woman, his eyes darting nervously, but his mouth remained tightly shut.

"Miss Kelly, it seems you've forgotten one thing," Wang Yu finally stopped tapping, speaking calmly to the woman across from him.

"What thing?" The silver-haired woman, sensing an ominous shift in Wang Yu's demeanor, still asked defiantly.

"Trade only happens when both sides are roughly equal in strength. If one side utterly dominates the other, why bother trading at all? Simply taking it by force is far simpler." Wang Yu smiled at her.
