The moment the system notification appeared inside Lin Tian's mind, his attention sharpened instantly.
DING
Legendary Realm Unlock Progress: 100%
For a brief moment, the surrounding noise of the Cloud Mist Internet Café faded into the background. The excited voices of the disciples watching the battle, the echoes of weapons clashing inside the virtual worlds, and the quiet discussions of cultivators from different sects all seemed distant compared to the glowing system panel now floating before his eyes.
A new interface slowly appeared.
The familiar blue light of the system expanded, revealing a large new icon that had never existed before.
Legendary Realm — Unlocked
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So it finally appeared."
Ever since the Tyrant Trial was introduced, the system had hinted that a far greater challenge was being prepared. The activity inside the computer shop, the arrival of powerful cultivators from different sects, and the constant battles inside the training realms had gradually pushed the progress toward completion.
Now the moment had finally arrived.
However, Lin Tian did not immediately activate the new realm.
Instead, he continued watching the battle currently unfolding on the screen.
Because on the third floor, the envoy of the Sky Dragon Pavilion, Long Wei, was still fighting the Tyrant.
Inside the ruined arena, the battle had already reached a fierce stage.
The Tyrant roared loudly as its massive body charged forward again, its enormous claws smashing into the cracked stone ground with terrifying force.
But Long Wei moved like a streak of silver lightning.
His speed was astonishing.
Each time the Tyrant attacked, he vanished from its reach with smooth and precise movements.
Inside the computer shop, dozens of disciples leaned closer to the screen.
"That movement technique…"
"It's unbelievable."
Even the experienced cultivators watching the battle could not hide their surprise.
Unlike most challengers who relied on raw strength or defensive techniques, Long Wei fought with incredible control.
Every step he took seemed perfectly calculated.
Every strike targeted the weakened areas of the Tyrant's armor.
Inside the arena, the monster roared again as another crack spread across its chest.
The watching crowd gasped.
"He broke the armor again!"
"He might actually defeat it!"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian calmly observed the battle.
Inside his mind, the system panel updated the boss status.
Boss Health Remaining: 38%
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"He's doing well."
Long Wei's combat style was different from the previous challengers.
The Sect Leader had defeated the Tyrant with overwhelming skill and spiritual power.
But Long Wei relied on speed, precision, and relentless pressure.
Inside the arena, the Tyrant's attacks grew increasingly violent.
The monster slammed its claws into the ground, sending cracks spreading across the battlefield.
But Long Wei never allowed himself to be trapped.
He moved continuously around the creature, striking again and again.
The battle had become a dance of deadly precision.
Inside the shop, even the cultivators from other sects watched silently.
Elder Song from the Azure Wind Sect stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"This young man is extraordinary."
Nearby, Chen Yu folded his arms while studying the fight carefully.
"He's targeting the same weak points the Sect Leader created earlier."
Yan Feng from the Crimson Star Sect nodded.
"That strategy might actually work."
Inside the arena, the Tyrant suddenly roared and launched its most violent attack yet.
Its massive body surged forward, its claws slashing through the air with terrifying speed.
For a moment, it seemed as if Long Wei had nowhere to escape.
But at the last second—
His body twisted sideways.
The attack missed.
In the same instant, his weapon flashed.
A powerful strike landed directly on the Tyrant's chest.
Crack!
The armor shattered.
The watching disciples shouted in excitement.
"He broke it!"
The Tyrant staggered backward.
Its massive body trembled as the damage spread across its torso.
However, despite the heavy damage, the monster was not yet defeated.
It roared furiously and charged again.
Long Wei's expression remained calm.
But this time, his movements slowed slightly.
The battle had already lasted much longer than most previous challenges.
Eventually, the Tyrant's final desperate attack forced Long Wei into retreat.
The simulation ended.
The glowing screen faded.
Inside the computer shop, Long Wei slowly opened his eyes.
For a moment, the entire floor remained silent.
Then several disciples began whispering.
"He almost defeated it…"
"That was the closest fight since the Sect Leader."
Long Wei stood up calmly.
He tested the movements of his weapon for a moment.
Then he nodded slightly.
"That monster is well designed."
His voice carried genuine interest.
Nearby, Chen Yu stepped forward.
"You were very close."
Long Wei glanced at the ranking board.
"My name will appear there soon."
The board flashed again.
Tyrant Trial Leaderboard
1. Sect Leader — Tyrant Slayer
2. Long Wei — Sky Dragon Pavilion
3. Yan Feng — Crimson Star Sect
4. Chen Yu — Heaven Sword Peak
The crowd murmured excitedly.
Long Wei had instantly climbed to second place.
But while the disciples continued discussing the battle, something else happened.
The entire building suddenly vibrated faintly.
Several cultivators looked around in confusion.
"What was that?"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian finally spoke.
"It's time."
The large screen near the entrance suddenly flashed brightly.
A new announcement appeared.
New Training Realm Unlocked
The words glowed with golden light.
Every cultivator inside the shop turned toward the display.
Legendary Realm — Dragon Ruins
For a moment, the entire building fell silent.
Then the crowd erupted.
"A Legendary Realm?!"
"What kind of challenge is that?"
"Dragon Ruins…?"
Even the powerful cultivators from other sects looked surprised.
Because the word dragon held enormous meaning in the cultivation world.
Standing quietly on the third floor, Long Wei's eyes sharpened slightly.
"Dragon Ruins…"
He turned toward Lin Tian.
"This place just became far more interesting."
Meanwhile, inside Lin Tian's mind, the system panel displayed the final message.
Legendary Realm Activated
New Era of Training Begins
And from that moment forward…
The Cloud Mist Internet Café was no longer just a training hall.
It had become the birthplace of a new era in cultivation.
