The appearance of the Tyrant Trial quickly became the most discussed topic inside the Lingyuan Sect. What had already been an extremely popular training place suddenly became even more exciting after the introduction of the powerful boss realm. Disciples who had previously been satisfied fighting waves of monsters now found themselves drawn toward the new challenge.
A single enemy.
A terrifying opponent.
A battle that required perfect control of combat techniques.
The idea alone was enough to ignite the competitive spirit of many cultivators.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the atmosphere was far more intense than before. The reservation board near the entrance was filled with names of disciples waiting for their turn, and several groups had already formed small discussions about strategies for fighting the Tyrant.
"I watched Senior Brother Han Jianyu's battle," one disciple said seriously while pointing toward the glowing screen.
"The Tyrant's defense is extremely strong."
Another disciple nodded.
"I noticed something too. When the Tyrant attacks, there is a brief delay before its second strike."
"So we need to dodge first, then counterattack quickly."
Nearby, several disciples carefully studied the recorded battle footage displayed on one of the system screens.
The computer shop had slowly become more than just a training hall.
It had become a place where cultivators exchanged ideas, analyzed enemies, and studied combat strategies together.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian calmly observed the lively discussions.
The system panel floating in front of him continued updating the statistics of the shop.
Active Players: 20
Total Visitors Today: 708
Spirit Stones Earned: 3,540
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The numbers keep climbing."
The popularity of the boss realm had attracted even more disciples to Cloud Mist Peak.
Some cultivators had even begun challenging the Tyrant repeatedly, hoping to discover weaknesses in its attack patterns.
However, so far…
No one had managed to defeat it.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly echoed inside the shop.
"I'll try again!"
The crowd turned toward the speaker.
It was Han Jianyu once again.
The talented disciple of Heaven Sword Peak stepped forward with a determined expression.
Although he had already challenged the Tyrant once before, the brief battle had clearly ignited his competitive spirit.
Several disciples stepped aside as he approached one of the computers.
"You're challenging it again?" someone asked.
Han Jianyu nodded.
"I noticed several weaknesses during the first fight."
He sat down calmly.
"If I adjust my timing, I should be able to survive longer."
The surrounding disciples gathered around the screen again.
Even those who had been discussing strategies paused their conversations.
Everyone wanted to see how the second challenge would unfold.
The system activated.
Moments later, Han Jianyu entered the Tyrant Trial once again.
Inside the ruined arena, the massive creature appeared exactly as before.
Its glowing red eyes locked onto him immediately.
But this time, Han Jianyu did not rush forward.
Instead, he carefully observed the monster's movements.
The Tyrant roared and charged forward.
Han Jianyu dodged smoothly.
The ground cracked beneath the creature's claws.
Inside the shop, the watching disciples leaned closer to the screen.
"He's calmer this time."
"He's studying the boss!"
The battle continued for several minutes.
Han Jianyu managed to dodge several attacks and even landed a few precise strikes on the Tyrant's joints.
However, the creature's overwhelming strength remained difficult to overcome.
Eventually, another powerful blow ended the battle.
Han Jianyu opened his eyes inside the shop again.
Although he had still failed, his expression was calmer.
"The timing was better," he said quietly.
Several disciples nodded.
"You survived longer this time."
"The strategy is working."
Han Jianyu looked toward the screen where the Tyrant Trial icon glowed.
"It can be defeated."
His voice carried strong confidence.
The surrounding disciples felt their excitement grow.
A challenge that seemed impossible often attracted even more attention.
More cultivators would now attempt the Tyrant Trial.
Meanwhile, outside the shop, the line of waiting disciples had grown even longer.
Many of them had come specifically to witness the boss battle.
Cloud Mist Peak, once ignored by everyone, now felt like the center of the sect's activity.
High above the mountain, standing on a distant cliff, a group of disciples from Thunder Flame Peak quietly watched the crowd below.
Among them stood Lei Ba, the powerful peak master.
He crossed his arms while observing the lively peak.
"That kid really created something interesting," he muttered.
One of his disciples asked curiously, "Peak Master, do you think anyone will defeat that boss?"
Lei Ba smiled slightly.
"Of course."
He looked toward the glowing building on Cloud Mist Peak.
"But it won't be easy."
Back inside the computer shop, Lin Tian quietly leaned against the counter while observing the growing excitement among the disciples.
The Tyrant Trial had only just been introduced.
Yet it had already ignited a new wave of competition within the Lingyuan Sect.
But inside Lin Tian's mind, the system panel suddenly flashed again.
DING.
A new notification appeared.
Hidden Challenge Condition Detected.
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.
The system seemed to be preparing something even more interesting.
And if the Tyrant Trial was already this exciting…
Then whatever came next might change Cloud Mist Peak even further.
