Gathering Storm at Misty Rain Pavilion!

The elder looked shocked, thinking he misheard: "Three minor realms higher?!"

"Young master, are you sure you're not joking?"

The old man's astonishment was understandable.

After all, challenging someone three minor realms above your own was incredibly difficult, a feat few had ever accomplished in the entire history of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Your Highness, isn't this too risky?"

Luo Feng was startled by the words and asked with concern.

Chu Yun's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "I'm not joking. Just make the arrangements."

The elder took a deep breath. "Please wait a moment, young master."

With that, he left the counter.

"Young master, defeating a fighter from Misty Rain Pavilion who is three minor realms higher has never been done before," Luo Feng reminded him.

Chu Yun smiled faintly. "Don't worry. If I dare to do it, I have my confidence."

Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a flicker of doubt. Did the Ninth Prince truly have a plan?

"Wait!!"

"Peak Golden Core Realm?!"

Luo Feng's body trembled violently.

He suddenly remembered Chu Yun mentioning earlier that he would challenge a fighter at the peak Golden Core Realm, three minor realms above him.

This meant his own cultivation level was at the early Golden Core Realm?!

"How is this possible?!"

Luo Feng looked at Chu Yun in shock. "Your Highness, your cultivation..."

Chu Yun turned his head, looked at him, and smiled. "Shh, don't tell anyone."

Luo Feng took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Chu Yun, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

In just one day, his cultivation had advanced from the early Qi Gathering Realm to the early Golden Core Realm?

Was such a thing even possible?

As Luo Feng was still reeling from the shock, the elder returned with another figure.

"Young master, I am the head steward of Misty Rain Pavilion, Xu Nian."

"I heard you wish to challenge a fighter three minor realms above you?"

This middle-aged man named Xu Nian was clearly a high-ranking official of Misty Rain Pavilion. The elder who had been with him before now stood behind him, not daring to act presumptuously.

"That's right."

"If I succeed in the challenge, Misty Rain Pavilion will uphold the promised reward, correct?" Chu Yun asked.

"Of course!"

"Please rest assured, young master. The integrity of Misty Rain Pavilion is well-known."

"However, before that, I must remind you that our challenges at Misty Rain Pavilion are to the death," Xu Nian warned.

"I understand," Chu Yun nodded.

"Good."

"May I ask for your name so I can register it?" Xu Nian inquired.

"Xiao Yan," Chu Yun casually made up a name.

"Alright."

"Old Fang, escort Young Master Xiao to the dueling arena," Xu Nian ordered the elder behind him.

"Yes, sir."

"Young Master Xiao, this way please."

The elder led Chu Yun and his companions towards a vacant dueling arena nearby.

"Xiao Yan..."

Xu Nian searched his memory carefully, but the name sounded completely unfamiliar. There was no one famous in the Great Xia Dynasty by that name.

The elder brought Chu Yun and the others to the arena. "Young Master Xiao Yan, step onto the platform, and you will enter the arena."

"Okay."

Chu Yun stepped onto the platform. As it descended, he successfully entered the circular dueling arena, and the surrounding barriers rose.

Luo Feng and Venerable Wan Lei sat in the stands, watching intently.

Luo Feng had already made up his mind. If His Highness were to be in any danger, he wouldn't care about Misty Rain Pavilion's rules and would directly rush down to save him.

At worst, he'd reveal his identity.

He believed Misty Rain Pavilion wouldn't dare to lay a hand on an Imperial Prince.

Setting aside how much His Majesty valued him, the Asura Venerable of the Shi Family was currently in the Imperial City.

As Chu Yun entered, the introduction information for both sides in the dueling arena lit up.

Early Golden Core Realm Xiao Yan vs. Peak Golden Core Realm Duelist.

"What the hell?!"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Early Golden Core fighting Peak Golden Core? Am I dreaming?"

"Who is this Xiao Yan? Is he looking to die?"

As soon as the information lit up in the dueling arena, many people at the transaction counters exclaimed in shock.

Word spread like wildfire.

The news of Xiao Yan fighting a duelist three minor realms above him quickly spread throughout the entire third hall.

In a short time, Chu Yun's dueling arena was completely packed.

Chu Yun, wearing a mask, glanced around from inside the dueling arena.

Good heavens, it was truly a sea of people.

The thousands of seats in the stands were all occupied!

Some were even standing and watching from afar, and people from the second hall were constantly running over to join the excitement.

"Tonight, let the name Xiao Yan become famous in this region overnight."

Chu Yun's expression was calm and composed. He was confident of victory in this battle.

Xu Nian, the general manager of Misty Rain Pavilion, appeared on the control platform above the dueling arena. "This time, Young Master Xiao Yan of the Early Golden Core Realm is challenging our Peak Golden Core Realm duelist of Misty Rain Pavilion!"

"Now, let the duelist enter!!"

As Xu Nian's voice fell, Chu Yun watched as a prison door in the wall opposite him slowly opened.

A man in plain clothes, with his upper body bare, his muscles well-defined, and dozens of scars remaining on his chest and back, slowly entered with a spirit hammer.

"It's Tie Feng!!"

"Now, this Xiao Yan has truly brought his own demise."

"Tie Feng is ranked among the top ten in combat power among Misty Rain Pavilion's Golden Core Realm duelists!"

"Three hundred and forty-seven matches without a loss, the Golden Core Realm cultivators who died by his hand could pile up into a tower."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Misty Rain Pavilion truly doesn't want this Xiao Yan to live, sending out Tie Feng, this god of death."

Upon seeing the duelist, many people in the stands were gloating.

The vast majority of people had already placed their bets, all on Tie Feng to win.

Although Xiao Yan's odds were high, a full ten times, very few people bet on him. After all, no one believed Chu Yun could kill Tie Feng by surpassing three minor realms.

Tie Feng's odds were less than one to one, but it was still a stable, guaranteed low-income, and people were taking what they could.

Chu Yun looked at the duelist named Tie Feng before him.

His eyes were vacant, indifferent to life. The constant killing had long since numbed him.

"Duelist Tie Feng, Peak Golden Core Realm cultivation, record: three hundred and forty-seven wins, zero losses!"

"Now, I officially announce, the duel, begins!!" With Xu Nian's command, the duel commenced.

"Tie Feng, go! Kill him for me!!"

"Tie Feng, go! I bet a hundred thousand spirit stones, crush him for me!!"

Before the two could even fight, the gamblers in the stands were already shouting loudly, cheering Tie Feng on.

"You're the first to challenge me from the Early Golden Core Realm."

"Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant you your wish."

Tie Feng swung his hammer, his figure leaping up. Black radiance appeared on the spirit hammer, exuding an astonishing aura. He smashed down directly from the sky, striking towards Chu Yun!
