After news of Lin Chuan accepting the challenge spread through the Great Sound Pavilion, the battle between the two Lins became the focus of the entire cultivation world, instantly setting the whole Central River Continent ablaze.
Many had originally thought that Lin Chuan would not agree. After all, no matter how one looked at it, this challenge seemed like a conspiracy, one that might allow the major factions to uncover clues and ultimately lead to Lin Chuan's death. Yet no one had expected him to actually accept.

Countless people argued over who was truly the number one prodigy.

But as events unfolded, [Daybreak] stirred the winds and clouds across the entire Central River Continent by its own strength,
