True Martial Peak, Qu He's residence.
Outside the window, a sea of clouds rolled and unfurled, reflecting the warm afternoon sun.
Qu He was sitting cross-legged in his Quiet Chamber, regulating his breathing as True Essence flowed through his body.
Suddenly, a gentle knock came from the door of the Quiet Chamber.
"Enter."
Qu He slowly finished his practice, his eyes clear and bright as he opened them.
An Inner Sect Disciple dressed in the attire of the True Martial Lineage pushed the door open and entered. A hint of urgency was on his face as he bowed respectfully and reported, "Brother Qu, we've just received news. Brother Chen Qing has agreed to a duel with Han Xiong of Profound Sun Peak. They will fight on the Seven-Star Platform in three days. The wager... the wager is a Pure Yang Yuan Astral Pill and thirty thousand Contribution Points."
Hearing this, Qu He frowned slightly, but his expression quickly returned to its usual calm.
