19: Storms gather at Misty Rain Tower!

That Elder looked bewildered, thinking he had misheard: "Three minor Realms higher?!"

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

The old man's shock was understandable.

One must know, challenging someone three minor Realms higher—the difficulty of this was so immense that throughout the entire history of the Great Xia Dynasty, few had ever managed to achieve it.

"Your Highness, won't this be too risky?"

Luo Feng was startled upon hearing this and asked worriedly.

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

That Elder took a deep breath: "Please wait a moment, Young Master."

With that, he directly left the counter.

"Young Master, no one has ever managed to defeat a Misty Rain Tower duelist three minor Realms higher than themselves," Luo Feng reminded him.

Chu Yun smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry. Since I dare to do it, I naturally have the confidence."

Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Did the Ninth Prince really have confidence?

"Wait!!"

"Golden Core Realm Peak?!"

Luo Feng's body suddenly trembled.

He suddenly remembered what Chu Yun had said earlier: challenging a Golden Core Realm Peak duelist, three minor Realms higher.

That meant his Realm was Golden Core Realm Early Stage?!

"How is this possible?!"

Luo Feng looked at Chu Yun with shock in his eyes: "Your Highness, your cultivation..."

Chu Yun turned his head, a smile on his lips as he looked at him: "Shhh, don't tell anyone."

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

In one day, his Realm advanced from Qi Gathering Realm Early Stage to Golden Core Realm Early Stage?

Was such a thing truly possible?

While Luo Feng was still in shock, that Elder quickly approached with another figure.

"This Young Master, I am Xu Nian, the Head Steward of Misty Rain Tower."

"I heard that Young Master wishes to challenge a duelist three minor Realms higher than himself?"

This middle-aged man named Xu Nian was most likely a high-ranking member of Misty Rain Tower; the previous Elder followed behind him, not daring to be presumptuous in the slightest.

"That's right."

"If I succeed in the challenge, your Misty Rain Tower won't go back on your word regarding the corresponding reward, will you?" Chu Yun asked.

"Of course!"

"Please rest assured, Young Master, the integrity of our Misty Rain Tower is well-known."

"However, before that, I need to remind Young Master that our Misty Rain Tower's challenge method is a fight to the death," Xu Nian reminded him.

"I understand." Chu Yun nodded.

"Good."

"May I ask Young Master's name, so I can have someone register it?" Xu Nian asked.

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

"Alright."

"Old Fang, take Young Master Xiao to the dueling arena." Xu Nian looked at the old man behind him and ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"Young Master Xiao, this way, please."

The old man led Chu Yun and the others slowly towards a nearby empty dueling arena.

"Xiao Yan..."

Xu Nian carefully recalled in his mind, but he still found the name very unfamiliar.

Among the famous people in the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, there was no one named Xiao Yan.

The Elder led Chu Yun and them to the dueling arena. "Young Master Xiao Yan, step onto the lift, and you can enter."

"Alright."

Chu Yun walked onto it, and as the platform descended, he successfully entered the circular dueling arena, with barriers rising around him.

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

Luo Feng had already made up his mind that if His Highness had any mishap, he wouldn't care about Misty Rain Tower's rules and would rush down to save him directly.

At worst, he would reveal his identity.

He believed that Misty Rain Tower wouldn't dare to lay hands on an Imperial Prince.

Not to mention His Majesty's emphasis on him, just Shura Venerable of the Shi Family was currently in the Imperial City.

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

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

"What the f*ck?!"

"Am I seeing things?"

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

"Who is this Xiao Yan? Isn't he seeking death?"

As soon as the dueling arena's information lit up, many people at the trading counter exclaimed in discussion.

Word spread like wildfire.

News of Xiao Yan fighting a duelist across three minor Realms quickly spread throughout the entire third hall.

In a short time, Chu Yun's dueling arena was completely filled with people.

Chu Yun, wearing a mask, stood in the dueling arena and glanced around.

Goodness, this truly could be called a sea of people.

Thousands of seats in the stands, completely full!

Some were even standing far away to watch, and people from the second hall were still constantly rushing over to join the excitement.

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

Chu Yun's expression was calm and composed; he had absolute confidence in this battle.

Xu Nian, the Head Steward of Misty Rain Tower, now appeared on the control platform above the dueling arena, "This time, Young Master Xiao Yan, a Golden Core Realm Early Stage Cultivator, will challenge our Misty Rain Tower's Golden Core Realm Peak duelist!"

"Now, duelist, enter!!"

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

A man dressed in plain clothes, bare-chested, with well-developed muscles all over his body, and dozens of scars on his chest and back, slowly entered, holding a Spirit Hammer.

"It's Tie Feng!!"

"Now, this person named Xiao Yan has truly sought his own death."

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

"Three hundred forty-seven undefeated matches; the Golden Core Realm Cultivators who died by his hand could pile up into a tower."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Misty Rain Tower really doesn't want this person named Xiao Yan to live well; they actually sent out Tie Feng, this god of slaughter."

Many people in the stands, upon seeing the duelist, all gloated.

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

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

Tie Feng's odds didn't even reach one time, but at least it was a steady, risk-free minimum guarantee; they might as well take it.

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

His eyes were lifeless, he disregarded life, and the constant slaughter had long since made him numb.

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

"Now, I officially declare, the duel, begin!!" With Xu Nian's command, the duel began.

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

"Tie Feng, come on! I bet one hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Go for him!!"

...

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

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

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

Tie Feng swung his hammer, his figure leaping up, a black glow appearing on the Spirit Hammer, its might astonishing, directly smashing down from the sky, striking towards Chu Yun!
