The moment Li Yun entered the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda, his surroundings changed completely.
In an instant, he felt as though he had arrived on an ancient battlefield. A vast and desolate aura swept over him, carrying the weight of countless years and making the entire space feel solemn and oppressive.
Immediately afterward, the figure of a white-clothed swordsman appeared before him.

"I understand."
Li Yun nodded calmly.
He was naturally already aware of these rules.
"Then let us begin."
The white-clothed swordsman shouted and swung his longsword.
