The quiet notification that appeared on the system panel continued floating in front of Lin Tian's vision long after the crowd outside the shop had settled down.
Special Boss Realm — 75% Unlocked
Lin Tian leaned casually against the counter while watching the glowing text.
"So the next stage is almost ready."
Over the past few days, the Cloud Mist Internet Café had grown far beyond what he originally expected. What started as a simple system mission had slowly turned into one of the most important locations within the Lingyuan Sect.
Disciples visited the shop every day.
Some came to sharpen their combat instincts.
Others came to test their limits against increasingly difficult enemies.
A few even formed small groups to analyze strategies for surviving the endless battles inside the virtual worlds.
The computer shop had become more than just a training hall.
It had become a place where cultivators could experiment, learn, and push their limits without risking their lives.
Inside the shop, the twenty computers continued running constantly.
The glowing screens displayed intense battles from different realms.
One group of disciples fought desperately inside the Zombie Catastrophe Realm, dodging the attacks of horrifying creatures as they tried to survive wave after wave of enemies.
Another group battled across the burning fields of the Battlefield Realm, where hundreds of soldiers surrounded them on all sides.
Meanwhile, several disciples quietly explored the Creation Realm, constructing strange structures while studying how different environments affected movement and defense.
Each realm offered something different.
Each realm challenged the cultivators in new ways.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian calmly observed the scenes while the system continued updating the shop's statistics.
Active Players: 20
Total Visitors Today: 624
Spirit Stones Earned: 3,120
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The numbers keep rising."
The computer shop had now become so popular that some disciples had begun sleeping on Cloud Mist Peak just to secure early reservations.
The once empty courtyards of the peak were now filled with cultivators practicing techniques while waiting for their turn inside the shop.
Even the small tea pavilion near the entrance had become a gathering place where disciples discussed strategies and shared their experiences from the training realms.
The entire atmosphere of Cloud Mist Peak had changed.
Just a week ago, it had been the quietest peak in the sect.
Now, it was the most lively.
Just then, the system panel suddenly flashed again.
DING.
Lin Tian focused on the notification.
Special Boss Realm Progress: 90%
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Almost there."
Unlike the other training realms that generated endless waves of enemies, the Boss Realm would introduce a completely different challenge.
Instead of fighting ordinary monsters, cultivators would face powerful enemies similar to the bosses found in ancient legends.
Creatures with unique abilities.
Creatures that required strategy, teamwork, and precise control to defeat.
If the boss realm worked as expected, it would attract even stronger cultivators.
Possibly even elders and peak masters.
Just as Lin Tian began considering how the new realm might affect the shop, a loud cheer suddenly erupted near one of the computers.
"I defeated it!"
A young disciple jumped out of his chair while holding his weapon tightly.
The disciples around him quickly gathered closer.
"Did you really survive the final wave?"
"Yes!"
The young cultivator excitedly demonstrated his movements.
His spear techniques flowed smoothly through the air.
"My reaction speed improved again!"
The watching disciples looked impressed.
"That realm is incredible."
Lin Tian watched the scene quietly.
Moments like this had become increasingly common.
The training realms allowed cultivators to experience hundreds of battles within a short time. Even if the improvements were small, the constant repetition sharpened their instincts rapidly.
Just then, the shop door suddenly opened again.
Several new disciples entered, their expressions filled with curiosity.
"I heard there's a place here where you can fight endlessly!"
"Is it really that amazing?"
Before anyone could answer, a calm voice suddenly spoke from near the counter.
"It depends on how hard you fight."
The newcomers turned toward Lin Tian.
After a brief explanation of the shop rules, they quickly joined the reservation list.
The shop continued operating smoothly.
But just as Lin Tian relaxed again, the system panel suddenly flashed brightly.
DING.
A new notification appeared.
Special Boss Realm — 100% Unlocked
Lin Tian straightened slightly.
"So it's ready."
A new icon slowly appeared on the interface.
New Realm Available: Tyrant Trial
The description appeared beneath it.
Boss Type: Tyrant
Recommended Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment and above
Challenge Type: Extreme Combat
Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"This will definitely attract attention."
However, before he could activate the new realm, another notification appeared.
Announcement Available
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.
"An announcement?"
The system interface displayed a new option.
Broadcast Realm Unlock to All Players
Lin Tian thought for a moment before pressing the command.
Instantly, every computer screen inside the shop flashed.
The disciples currently fighting inside the virtual realms saw a message appear before their eyes.
New Challenge Unlocked
Tyrant Trial — Boss Realm
Inside the shop, the reactions were immediate.
"What's that?"
"A boss realm?"
Several disciples quickly gathered around the system board where the new challenge information was displayed.
"This realm has a single powerful enemy!"
"It says Foundation Establishment cultivators are recommended!"
"That means the boss must be incredibly strong!"
Excited discussions spread through the entire shop.
Lin Tian watched quietly while leaning against the counter.
The atmosphere inside the computer café had suddenly changed.
The training realms had always been exciting.
But now…
A new challenge had appeared.
And somewhere within the Lingyuan Sect, several powerful cultivators who had been watching Cloud Mist Peak from a distance suddenly felt their interest grow even stronger.
Because the next battle inside the mysterious training hall…
Would no longer be against ordinary monsters.
It would be against a true boss.
