The sudden expansion of the Cloud Mist Internet Café shocked everyone who witnessed it. What had once been a modest two-floor building with only twenty machines had transformed into a massive three-story structure capable of hosting one hundred cultivators at the same time. The moment the expansion finished, the entire Cloud Mist Peak became even more lively than before.
Disciples who had previously waited hours for a chance to enter the shop now rushed forward with excitement. The newly expanded courtyard quickly filled with cultivators from every corner of the Lingyuan Sect. Some of them stared at the building with disbelief, while others eagerly stepped inside to explore the new training floors.
Inside the building, the interior had changed dramatically.
The first floor remained the busiest area. Rows of machines filled the large hall, each one displaying glowing screens connected to the various training realms. The sound of excited conversations and battle commentary echoed across the room as disciples watched the ongoing fights.
The second floor had been designed slightly differently. The machines there were spaced further apart, allowing cultivators to train in a quieter environment. Many inner disciples preferred this floor because it allowed them to focus more deeply on analyzing the battles inside the realms.
But the most interesting area was the third floor.
Unlike the lower levels, the third floor contained fewer machines but each one appeared far more advanced. The screens glowed with deeper colors, and the surrounding environment felt noticeably more intense. A large system board near the entrance displayed a special message.
Advanced Training Area
Recommended Cultivation Level: Core Disciples and Above
Several disciples stared at the sign with excitement.
"So the higher floors have stronger challenges!"
"I heard the boss realm appears more frequently here!"
"Maybe the Tyrant Trial is easier to access on this floor!"
The discovery of the new training areas immediately attracted the attention of many skilled cultivators.
Meanwhile, on the first floor near the counter, Lin Tian calmly watched the chaotic but energetic scene. The system panel floating in front of him continued updating the shop's data.
Active Players: 100
Total Visitors Today: 1,873
Spirit Stones Earned: 9,365
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Almost ten thousand already."
The expansion had solved the crowd problem, but it had also multiplied the shop's popularity. Now that one hundred cultivators could train at the same time, the influence of the computer shop was growing even faster.
Just then, a group of disciples rushed down the stairs from the second floor.
"Someone is fighting the Tyrant again!"
"Really?"
"Come quickly!"
Dozens of cultivators gathered around one of the screens.
Inside the Tyrant Trial, a powerful disciple was battling the massive boss inside the ruined arena.
The Tyrant roared loudly as it swung its enormous claws toward the challenger.
The cultivator dodged quickly, striking the monster's leg before retreating.
The watching disciples whispered excitedly.
"He's doing well!"
"That's Senior Brother Liu Kang from Thunder Flame Peak!"
Liu Kang was known as one of the strongest inner disciples of Thunder Flame Peak, famous for his aggressive combat style and powerful physical strength.
Inside the arena, the battle grew increasingly intense.
The Tyrant charged forward repeatedly, its attacks shaking the ground with terrifying force.
But Liu Kang fought fiercely, countering each attack with explosive strikes.
Several minutes passed.
The watching crowd grew louder.
"He damaged the Tyrant's armor!"
"Look at that crack!"
For the first time since the boss realm appeared, the Tyrant showed visible damage.
However, the creature's fury only increased.
Its attacks became faster and more violent.
Despite Liu Kang's strength, the overwhelming power of the boss eventually forced him into defeat.
The simulation ended.
Inside the shop, Liu Kang suddenly opened his eyes.
Sweat covered his forehead, but his expression remained excited.
"That monster…"
He clenched his fists.
"…is incredible."
Several disciples surrounded him immediately.
"You almost defeated it!"
"That was the best fight so far!"
Liu Kang nodded.
"It can definitely be killed."
The crowd's excitement grew even stronger.
The Tyrant Trial had now become the most prestigious challenge within the Lingyuan Sect.
Every talented cultivator wanted to become the first person to defeat the boss.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly watched the reactions of the crowd.
Inside his mind, the system panel flashed again.
DING
Boss Challenge Progress Updated
Current Completion Rate: 98%
Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"So it's almost time."
He had been waiting for this moment.
The system seemed to be preparing a special reward for whoever managed to defeat the Tyrant.
But before that happened, something unexpected occurred.
Near the entrance of the shop, the crowd suddenly parted.
Several disciples stepped aside nervously.
A powerful pressure filled the room.
A tall figure slowly walked inside.
His robes were dark blue, embroidered with ancient golden patterns.
His presence was calm but overwhelming.
Several disciples immediately recognized him.
"It's… the Sect Leader!"
The entire room fell silent.
The leader of the Lingyuan Sect had finally arrived at Cloud Mist Peak.
And his arrival meant that the mysterious computer shop had reached a level of importance that no one could ignore anymore.
