The moment the system message "DRAGON RUINS — CLEARED" appeared on the glowing screen, the entire Cloud Mist Internet Café burst into excited discussion once again. Although the dragon had been defeated before by several strong cultivators working together, seeing a single challenger accomplish it alone still left a powerful impression on everyone watching.
The enormous body of the Ancient Dragon Remnant slowly dissolved into golden particles as the battlefield inside the simulation faded away. The ruined pillars and crimson sky disappeared, replaced by the quiet interior of the training machine.
A few seconds later, Han Jue slowly opened his eyes.
Inside the café, the cultivators gathered around him erupted into applause and cheers.
"That was incredible!"
"You defeated the dragon by yourself!"
"Your sword technique is amazing!"
Han Jue stood up calmly from the machine. His expression remained composed, but a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the excited crowd surrounding him.
"It was a good training experience," he said modestly.
Nearby, several disciples from the Northern Azure Sect rushed forward.
"Senior Brother Han!"
"We knew you could defeat it!"
One of them laughed loudly.
"That dragon didn't stand a chance!"
Standing a short distance away, Chen Yu watched the scene thoughtfully.
"He handled the dragon faster than most challengers."
Beside him, Yan Feng nodded.
"His sword technique is extremely refined."
On the third floor balcony overlooking the hall, Long Wei leaned slightly against the railing as he observed Han Jue.
"He has good instincts in battle."
Nearby, Liu Kang laughed.
"Hahaha! That guy fights cleanly!"
He pointed toward the machine Han Jue had just used.
"If he tries the Mythic Realm, things will get interesting."
The words immediately caused several cultivators nearby to react.
"The Mythic Realm?"
"You mean the Heavenly War Domain?"
One disciple whispered nervously.
"That realm has only been cleared once."
The entire hall instinctively looked toward the glowing ranking board.
The golden title still shone brightly.
HEAVENLY WAR DOMAIN CONQUEROR
1. Mo Tian — Black Abyss Sect
Even after several days, no one had managed to challenge that record.
Standing quietly near the counter, Lin Tian watched the lively scene with calm eyes.
Inside his mind, the system panel displayed the latest statistics.
Active Players: 100
Total Visitors Today: 15,207
Spirit Stones Earned: 74,300
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The shop is getting busier every day."
But what interested him more was the system's next notification.
DING
High-Level Combat Activity Detected
Realm Evolution Progress: 27%
Lin Tian smiled faintly.
The system was evolving faster with every powerful cultivator who visited the café.
Meanwhile, inside the hall, Han Jue walked slowly toward the ranking board.
Several cultivators stepped aside respectfully as he approached.
He studied the rankings for a moment.
His gaze paused at the golden title.
Mo Tian — Black Abyss Sect
Han Jue crossed his arms slightly.
"So that is the man who cleared the Mythic Realm."
Standing nearby, Chen Yu spoke.
"He defeated the final boss alone."
Han Jue glanced toward him.
"The War Sovereign Projection, correct?"
Chen Yu nodded.
"The final guardian of the Heavenly War Domain."
Han Jue remained silent for several seconds.
Then he smiled faintly.
"That sounds interesting."
Nearby, several cultivators reacted immediately.
"He's thinking about challenging the Mythic Realm!"
"Is he really going to try it?"
Standing a few meters away, Yan Feng spoke calmly.
"The Heavenly War Domain is not easy."
Han Jue nodded.
"I can imagine."
He turned toward the machines again.
"But I didn't travel all the way from the Northern Azure Sect just to fight a dragon."
Liu Kang burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! I like this guy!"
Chen Yu looked slightly concerned.
"That realm is extremely dangerous."
Han Jue shrugged.
"Danger is part of cultivation."
Meanwhile, on the third floor, Mo Tian continued watching quietly.
His calm gaze rested on Han Jue.
Long Wei spoke beside him.
"What do you think?"
Mo Tian remained silent for a moment.
Then he answered.
"He is strong."
Long Wei nodded slightly.
"But strong enough to defeat the War Sovereign?"
Mo Tian looked toward the ranking board again.
"That depends."
Meanwhile, inside the hall, Han Jue sat down in front of another machine.
The glowing screen activated.
Several cultivators gathered around again.
"He's entering another realm."
One disciple leaned closer.
"Is it the Mythic Realm already?"
But the screen displayed a different battlefield.
Battlefield Realm
Endless plains stretched across the horizon.
Thousands of armored soldiers appeared across the field.
Inside the café, Liu Kang laughed again.
"Hahaha! He's warming up first!"
Han Jue stood in the middle of the battlefield.
His sword rested calmly in his hand.
The enemy army began charging toward him.
The clash began immediately.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators quickly realized something.
Han Jue was not merely testing his strength.
He was studying the mechanics of the system's battlefields.
Every movement of his sword was precise.
Every enemy was defeated efficiently.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian watched the battle carefully.
"He's analyzing the realms."
Inside his mind, the system panel updated again.
New Challenger Evaluation: Han Jue
Combat Potential: High
Lin Tian smiled slightly.
Another powerful challenger had arrived.
And if Han Jue continued climbing the rankings…
Then the next battle inside the Heavenly War Domain might arrive sooner than expected.
Because the legend of the Cloud Mist Internet Café was still growing.
And the next chapter of that legend…
Was already beginning.
