The news spread faster than Lin Tian expected.
Early the next morning, the quiet paths around Cloud Mist Peak were no longer empty. Disciples from nearby training grounds gathered in small groups, whispering excitedly to one another. Some of them pointed toward the strange building that had appeared overnight, while others argued about whether the rumors were real.
"Did you hear about it?" one outer disciple asked his friend as they climbed the mountain path.
"You mean the place where you can fight monsters?" the other replied.
"Yes! Zhang Wei said he fought a terrifying creature there last night. When he woke up, his spear technique improved!"
The second disciple frowned. "That sounds impossible."
"Then go see it yourself!"
Curiosity quickly spread among the disciples. In a cultivation sect, improving one's techniques could take months or even years of practice. The idea that a strange building could somehow accelerate training was too tempting to ignore.
Soon, several groups of disciples began heading toward Cloud Mist Peak.
Inside the computer shop, Lin Tian sat comfortably in his chair, calmly sipping tea while watching the system interface floating before him.
The shop had only been open for less than a day, yet the system was already displaying activity logs.
Players Completed Training: 2
Combat Experience Gained: Moderate
Technique Comprehension Triggered: 1
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"So the effects are real," he murmured.
Just then, footsteps echoed outside the shop again.
The door slowly opened, revealing four young disciples standing at the entrance.
They looked around cautiously as if entering an unfamiliar treasure hall.
One of them whispered, "This is the place."
Another disciple pointed at the rows of machines. "Are those the things Zhang Wei mentioned?"
Lin Tian calmly stood up and walked toward them.
"Welcome to the Cloud Mist Internet Café."
The disciples quickly straightened and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Peak Master Lin."
Although Cloud Mist Peak had always been considered weak, Lin Tian was still a Peak Master of the sect. None of them dared show disrespect.
Lin Tian smiled lightly. "You're here to try the training realms, I assume."
The disciples nodded eagerly.
"Yes, Peak Master."
Lin Tian gestured toward the computers. "Take a seat. I'll explain how it works."
Within a few minutes, the disciples were sitting in front of the machines, staring nervously at the glowing screens.
As Lin Tian activated the system, the same strange light surrounded them.
Their consciousness entered the virtual world.
Moments later, the disciples suddenly appeared inside a ruined battlefield filled with broken structures and wandering monsters.
One of them gasped.
"This… this is real!"
Before anyone could react, a group of terrifying creatures slowly approached from the shadows.
"Watch out!"
The disciples immediately grabbed the weapons that appeared in their hands and began fighting.
Back inside the shop, Lin Tian calmly leaned back in his chair while observing the screens.
"Let's see how long they last."
Several minutes later, the four disciples suddenly opened their eyes, breathing heavily.
Their faces were filled with shock.
"That monster almost killed me!"
"But my sword control improved!"
"I can feel it too… my movements became faster!"
Their voices quickly grew louder as excitement replaced fear.
Lin Tian calmly explained, "The battles inside the training realms help improve your combat instincts. The more you fight, the stronger your understanding becomes."
The disciples looked at him with amazement.
One of them hesitated before asking, "Peak Master Lin… can we try again?"
Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"Of course."
"But this time, it will cost five spirit stones per hour."
The disciples quickly took out their spirit stones without hesitation.
Compared to the benefits they had just experienced, five spirit stones was a small price to pay.
Soon, they entered the training realms once again.
Hours later, when the disciples finally left the shop, their expressions were filled with excitement.
They immediately rushed down the mountain.
"Everyone needs to know about this place!"
"There's a training hall on Cloud Mist Peak where you can fight monsters!"
"You can actually improve your techniques!"
Their voices echoed across the mountain paths.
By noon, the rumors had spread throughout the Lingyuan Sect.
More disciples began making their way toward Cloud Mist Peak.
Even some inner disciples started showing curiosity.
Inside the computer shop, Lin Tian calmly watched as the number of visitors slowly increased.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
What began as a ridiculous mission from the system was slowly turning into something far greater.
The once quiet Cloud Mist Peak was about to become the most unusual and crowded place in the entire Lingyuan Sect.
