By the following morning, the atmosphere around Cloud Mist Peak had completely changed. What had once been the quietest and most ignored peak in the entire Lingyuan Sect was now filled with constant movement. Disciples could be seen climbing the mountain path from early morning, their expressions full of excitement and curiosity. Some carried training weapons on their backs, others held small pouches of spirit stones, and many of them eagerly discussed their plans to challenge the training realms again.
The rumors about the Cloud Mist Internet Café had grown even larger overnight.
Some disciples claimed they had fought giant monsters stronger than any demonic beast they had ever encountered. Others insisted that they had survived hundreds of enemies on a massive battlefield. A few even claimed that they had gained sudden insights into their cultivation techniques after repeated battles inside the strange illusion worlds.
Whether exaggerated or not, these stories only increased the interest of the entire sect.
Outside the shop, a long line of disciples had already formed before the doors even opened. The once quiet courtyard of Cloud Mist Peak now looked more like a busy marketplace.
"Do you think we'll get a chance to play today?" one outer disciple asked anxiously.
"There are only twenty machines inside," another replied. "If we're lucky, maybe."
"I heard some disciples stayed here until midnight yesterday."
The conversations continued endlessly as more disciples arrived.
Inside the shop, Lin Tian stood calmly near the entrance while observing the scene outside.
The system panel floating before him displayed the latest statistics.
Active Players: 20
Total Visitors Yesterday: 182
Spirit Stones Earned: 910
Lin Tian rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Almost one thousand spirit stones already."
Although spirit stones were common resources within a large sect like Lingyuan, earning such an amount in only a single day was still impressive.
More importantly, the reputation of Cloud Mist Peak was rising rapidly.
Just as Lin Tian finished checking the system panel, a loud voice suddenly echoed from outside the shop.
"Move aside!"
The sound was deep and powerful, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
The disciples waiting in line quickly turned their heads.
A large figure was walking up the mountain path with confident steps.
His red robes fluttered in the wind, and his muscular frame gave off an overwhelming aura of strength.
The moment the disciples recognized him, their expressions changed dramatically.
"P-Peak Master Lei!"
"Thunder Flame Peak Master!"
The crowd quickly parted to make way for him.
Lei Ba, the fiery Peak Master of Thunder Flame Peak, walked directly toward the entrance of the shop with a wide grin on his face.
"So this is the famous place everyone is talking about!"
His loud voice echoed through the courtyard.
The disciples bowed respectfully as he passed.
Inside the shop, Lin Tian calmly looked toward the entrance.
The moment Lei Ba stepped inside, the entire room seemed to grow slightly heavier.
Unlike Gu Shenzhi's quiet and mysterious presence, Lei Ba's aura felt like a blazing fire. His powerful spiritual energy filled the room, making several nearby disciples instinctively step back.
Lei Ba crossed his arms and looked around the shop.
Rows of glowing machines lined the room, each one displaying strange images of battles and monsters.
Several disciples were currently inside the virtual realms, their expressions completely focused.
Lei Ba burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"So this is the strange place that even Gu Shenzhi praised?"
His sharp eyes quickly locked onto Lin Tian.
"You must be the kid who runs this place."
Lin Tian nodded calmly.
"Peak Master Lei."
Lei Ba walked closer while studying him carefully.
"I heard this place allows people to fight endlessly without getting injured."
"That's correct," Lin Tian replied.
Lei Ba's grin grew wider.
"Good."
He slammed a pouch of spirit stones onto the table.
"I've been wanting a good fight for weeks."
The surrounding disciples immediately became excited.
"Peak Master Lei is going to try it!"
"I wonder what kind of realm he'll enter!"
Lin Tian gestured toward one of the computers.
"Please take a seat."
Lei Ba sat down without hesitation.
The moment the system activated, the screen flashed brightly.
Within seconds, his consciousness entered the virtual world.
Inside the simulation, Lei Ba found himself standing in a massive battlefield surrounded by burning skies and endless enemy soldiers.
Hundreds of armored warriors slowly approached from every direction.
Lei Ba looked around the battlefield with excitement shining in his eyes.
"Hahaha!"
"This is perfect!"
He grabbed the massive axe that appeared in his hands and charged forward like a raging storm.
Inside the shop, dozens of disciples gathered around the screen.
"Look at that!"
"He's fighting hundreds of enemies at once!"
Lei Ba's axe swung wildly as he smashed through waves of soldiers.
His attacks were brutal and overwhelming.
Enemies were sent flying in every direction as he laughed loudly in the middle of the battlefield.
"This is fun!"
Even the virtual soldiers seemed unable to stop his rampage.
Minutes later, the battlefield finally faded away.
Lei Ba opened his eyes inside the shop.
For a moment, he sat completely still.
Then he suddenly stood up.
"Hahaha!"
"That was incredible!"
The entire shop trembled slightly as his powerful laughter echoed through the room.
Lei Ba tested a few movements with his hands.
His expression became even more excited.
"My reaction speed improved!"
He looked directly at Lin Tian.
"Kid!"
"This place is amazing!"
The surrounding disciples were stunned.
If even the Peak Master of Thunder Flame Peak praised the training hall so openly, then the importance of Cloud Mist Peak would rise even further.
Lei Ba picked up his pouch of spirit stones again and tossed several more onto the table.
"I'm coming back tomorrow!"
Then he walked out of the shop with a satisfied grin.
The moment he left, the entire room erupted into excited discussions.
Lin Tian simply leaned against the counter and smiled calmly.
With each passing day, the mysterious computer shop was slowly shaking the entire Lingyuan Sect.
And soon…
Even more powerful figures would begin appearing on Cloud Mist Peak.
