In a mountain cave on Hurricane Cliff, within Hundred Battle Mountain, a player in black robes sat cross-legged on a rock. Before him, a Battle Banner was slowly solidifying from a phantasmal state.
"It's finally responding! Let's see what color this Battle Banner will be!"
The black-robed player's spirits lifted. His name was Lu Wuming.
Lu Wuming had been exploring Hundred Battle Mountain for over seven years. He was a loner who preferred to explore remote, untrodden areas, always hoping for a fateful encounter. His persistence finally paid off. After countless failed attempts, he discovered this hidden cave in a secret mountain ravine.
Inside this cave was a hidden Battle Banner.
This was no ordinary Battle Banner; it was for an encounter battle. After Lu Wuming touched it, a system prompt informed him that he would be matched against another player as an opponent.
