Recently, the public training grounds had seen daily duels.

Some used the opportunity to settle old scores, while others sought to improve their performance scores through betting battles.

Just a few days ago, two top-tier Sun Moon Realm experts from different branches had faced off in a match.

This duel drew many spectators, as high-level combat of this kind was rare and highly sought after.

However, while this drew significant attention, it hadn’t reached the level of making the entire Qiankun Mansion aware. Everyone had their own training plans and not everyone enjoyed getting caught up in the excitement.

But Chen Fei’s challenge today nearly made the entire Qiankun Mansion aware, whether they were early-stage or peak Sun Moon Realm cultivators.

Even Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm experts had heard of it.

Challenging just one branch’s top early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator would have generated some interest, but watching someone challenge eleven top cultivators from different branches at the same level instantly skyrocketed the excitement.

No one dared to attempt such a feat.

Qiankun Mansion housed the most elite Sun Moon Realm cultivators in the current Ruins Realm.

Until a real battle took place, no one could claim invincibility, no matter how confident they were. Many factors determined the outcome of a match.

Each realm has its own limits of power. Once these limits are exceeded, a breakthrough to the next realm naturally occurs.

For instance, in the early Sun Moon Realm, once the Divine Power Seed evolves into a complete Divine Ability and the internal Source Point reaches its limit, a breakthrough is possible.

Especially within Qiankun Mansion, quickly advancing one’s cultivation is the most cost-effective approach.

The time Qiankun Mansion is open is limited, so maximizing benefits in the shortest time is crucial for all Sun Moon Realm cultivators.

At each realm, the daily performance points obtained differ. The higher the realm, the more points earned each day.

Currently, the early-stage Sun Moon Realm experts from various branches had already reached the critical value of their Source Points, with only the Divine Power Seed’s evolution remaining.

For all Sun Moon Realm cultivators, cultivating Divine Abilities was the most challenging task.

Although training Source Points was not easy, it could be achieved over time.

However, mastering Divine Abilities was either achieved or not, with little room for improvement through time alone.

As such, the early-stage top experts from different branches were in similar situations, with Source Points reaching their limits but still lacking the final step in the Divine Power Seed’s evolution.

Lu Shuzhang was in a similar situation, with his Divine Power Seed turning day and night, only needing one final push to complete the evolution.

With his training in Qiankun Mansion, Lu Shuzhang felt his Divine Ability was about to make the final breakthrough. For him, advancing to the mid Sun Moon Realm was merely a matter of time.

“Challenging twelve people, that’s truly impressive!”

Lu Shuzhang commented upon hearing Chen Fei’s news, his expression slightly fluctuating.

With the resonance of high-quality materials and the support of the courtyard’s natural energy, Lu Shuzhang had recently been advancing rapidly in his training.

Moreover, having been defeated by Chen Fei, Lu Shuzhang harbored a lingering sense of shame and was determined not to slack off, hoping to seize an opportunity to reclaim his honor.

“Chen Fei is being too aggressive. He could have waited a bit, defeated Sikong Jun from Mountain Bridge City, and then challenged others,” Liu Yuefeng remarked softly.

Liu Yuefeng, also at the early Sun Moon Realm, had recently ranked nineteenth in the courtyard competition.

This was considered an excellent result given that there were thousands of early Sun Moon Realm cultivators in Sky Sea City.

On that day, Liu Yuefeng had naturally witnessed Chen Fei’s combat performance and had to admit that Chen Fei’s displayed strength was indeed superior to that of others.

If Liu Yuefeng were to face Chen Fei, he would likely be swept out of the arena with a single strike.

Thus, Liu Yuefeng had no doubts about Chen Fei’s combat prowess but felt that Chen Fei’s current approach was overly aggressive.

Challenging so many opponents in one day would surely attract attention from others.

While finding flaws in his techniques might be unlikely, the exposure of his tactics in such numerous battles could lead to others being prepared for them.

Even a small amount of preparation could influence the outcome in a match where the opponents’ strengths are comparable.

“He must have great confidence in himself to dare undertake such a challenge,” Liu Yuefeng remarked.

Lu Shuzhang looked off into the distance and said softly, “If Chen Fei succeeds, his name will become known to everyone, and Qiankun Mansion’s support for him will increase significantly.”

“A high-stakes gamble?” Liu Yuefeng frowned slightly. His nature was not inclined toward such risky moves.

“Life itself is a gamble. Every breakthrough in cultivation is a gamble,” Lu Shuzhang replied with a soft laugh, then turned his gaze back to Liu Yuefeng.

“However, from what I know, some people in other branches are on the verge of completing their Divine Power Seed evolution.”

“The Divine Power Seed’s imminent evolution?” Liu Yuefeng’s eyebrows furrowed.

The difference between a Divine Power Seed and a complete Divine Ability is akin to that between a child and an adult; the disparity in power is substantial.

“If the Divine Power Seed is close to evolving, it can be forcibly triggered if needed. Once others realize this, they will also complete their Divine Power Seed’s evolution,” Lu Shuzhang explained, shaking his head slightly.

After losing to Chen Fei, Lu Shuzhang had looked into Chen Fei’s background and knew that Chen Fei had recently broken into the Sun Moon Realm, with his Divine Ability and Source Points still in the early stages of development.

Given this, Chen Fei’s ability to defeat him was indeed remarkable, and Lu Shuzhang admired Chen Fei somewhat.

However, having recently broken through, Chen Fei could not match others who might have had their Divine Abilities evolved, giving them a significant boost in strength.

In other words, Chen Fei’s strength was capped, whereas others could experience a dramatic increase in power when needed.

This comparison put Chen Fei at a disadvantage.

Many in Qiankun Mansion were aware of this, and the early-stage Sun Moon Realm top experts from various branches who were challenged by Chen Fei were aware of the situation.

They accepted his challenge with little hesitation, thus many were waiting to see Chen Fei’s downfall.

Coming from a lower realm, Chen Fei might not fully understand the nuances of the Sun Moon Realm or have access to detailed information about the top experts from other branches.

According to Lu Shuzhang, Sikong Jun, the first to challenge Chen Fei, was about to complete his Divine Power Seed evolution.

Choosing Chen Fei as a target was the result of careful consideration.

If the situation deteriorated, Sikong Jun could complete his Divine Power Seed evolution, win the performance points, and boost his reputation—all at once.

“Could it be that Chen Fei might not win a single match?” Liu Yuefeng’s eyes widened slightly.

Originally, Liu Yuefeng had estimated that while Chen Fei’s approach was risky and perhaps too bold, his strength should make him a formidable opponent.

The top early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator from Sky Sea Branch had earned their position through genuine effort.

Although it was uncertain whether Chen Fei would successfully challenge all twelve opponents, winning a few was certainly within the realm of possibility.

If Chen Fei were to lose against all challengers, it would imply that the early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators from Sky Sea Branch were indeed weaker, which would be quite embarrassing.

“It’s hard to say, but the situation is definitely not looking good,” Lu Shuzhang said, shaking his head.

In Lu Shuzhang’s view, Chen Fei’s approach was highly risky. In Qiankun Mansion, competition for performance points and other resources was fierce.

Chen Fei’s actions seemed overly reckless.

Extreme measures often led to disaster, and taking such a high-stakes gamble might not be wise.

Liu Yuefeng frowned and eventually shook his head.

It was not about hoping Chen Fei could defeat all twelve opponents but rather avoiding an immediate defeat in the first match.

Losing the first battle would not only be embarrassing for Chen Fei but could also tarnish Sky Sea Branch’s reputation.

If only Sikong Jun had been involved, the situation might not have been as severe. However, Chen Fei’s lofty challenge raised expectations to a level where any failure would be magnified.

Discussion about Chen Fei’s challenge was not limited to Lu Shuzhang and Liu Yuefeng; it had become a topic of speculation throughout Qiankun Mansion.

From peak Sun Moon Realm cultivators to those at the early stage, everyone was guessing Chen Fei’s chances of success.

Ultimately, no one had high hopes for Chen Fei, with many, like Liu Yuefeng, believing he might lose his first match.

Especially those above the mid Sun Moon Realm, who understood the vast difference between complete Divine Abilities and Divine Power Seeds.

As the matter gained traction, several betting pools emerged within Qiankun Mansion, focused on Chen Fei’s potential outcomes.

These bets even detailed the odds for Chen Fei’s victories over varying numbers of opponents.

The odds varied significantly depending on the number of victories. Simple win-or-lose bets were already challenging, but guessing the number of wins required more precise judgment.

The Rule Integration Realm experts in Qiankun Mansion noticed these betting pools but chose not to intervene.

Since performance points were the personal assets of the cultivators, how they chose to handle them was up to them, including selling them to others if they wished.

With less than four months until the first elimination, cultivators had to make their own decisions about their future.

The news even reached outside Qiankun Mansion, with some enthusiasts setting up small betting pools to await the final results of the matches.

On the first day, Chen Fei focused diligently on his training. While others might not see results from their efforts, Chen Fei’s hard work always paid off.

However, upon hearing about the betting pools on the second day, Chen Fei decided to pause his training.

Such a good opportunity! He wondered if the bets could be bought on credit or if they accepted Celestial Treasure as collateral.
