With each passing day, the news of Jun Wu's open lecture spread like a blazing fire across the land.
What had begun as a single announcement in Mystic City had now traveled far beyond its borders.
From great cities and towns alike, martial artists and merchants began packing their belongings, setting out on long journeys toward Mystic City.
Curiosity fueled some, anticipation drove others. Every road leading to Mystic City was becoming crowded with travelers.
And it wasn't only the common folk who were stirred.
Array Masters from across the Soaring Cloud Region were also making their way toward the city. Not all came with goodwill.
Some were dissatisfied, convinced that Jun Wu's fame was undeserved.
Others looked forward to questioning him, determined to expose what they saw as the arrogance of youth.
