Chapter 975: Shock, Refusal to Believe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since its launch until now, World of Martial Arts had launched more and more things, and it also became an even more comprehensive game, thereby gaining even more of the presence of the world of wanderers.

If you killed someone and were put into prison, your friends could break you out of it.

But the security in the prison was very tight. Once anyone was recognized during the prison break, they will surely be surrounded by the organizations of the imperial court.

However, there was another form of prison break that was more cultured: before a person was captured, the friend could go through illegal means and bribe important officials to pardon the criminal’s crimes.

However, if they wanted to bribe someone, they could only bribe He Shen, the Leading Official of the Inner Cabinet, and they must hand over fifty million taels of silver to pardon their friend of their crime.

Once they were pardoned, all the crimes they committed before this would be written off.

Happy clearly had someone help him write off his crime. Hence, the two Myth Realm elites who had coincidentally arrived at the area would just mock Happy instead of attacking.

Once he understood this, Happy ignored the old and young Golden Saber Constables, collected the loot, and wrote a letter to Wandering Know-it-all.

[Thank you for spending money to clear me of my crimes. Next time, you don’t have to go through so much trouble for that. I’ll treat the money you spent as compensation.

[I actually want to have Myth Realm elites cause trouble to me so that I can use them as sparring partners. Also, could you tell me where the helper you mentioned is?]

Wandering Know-it-all avoided the important question and answered the trivial one instead, [Seriously, you don’t know kindness when you see it. The person I sent over says that he no longer needs to attack when he rushed over. That’s why he found himself not having the heart to steal your limelight.]

[If you put it that way, you’re just making me even more curious. Just who is the person who made me nearly die in Flame Wolf’s hands because he didn’t want to steal my limelight?]

Happy naturally did not write his real thoughts. One, it was because he was not that petty of a person. Two, he found himself to have already seen quite a few familiar faces in the crowd around him.

Whirlwind Young Li, Wind Chimes, and one more…

He was a sleazy person who disguised himself into a normal player and craned his neck to stare at Happy from the crowd.

Happy chuckled in his heart. He could pretty much already guess just who was the person who Wandering Know-it-all called over as backup for Happy. While he was pretty good, he had not reached the level where he could fight against Wild Wolves.

[What happens next has nothing to do with me. I’ve already killed all three Wild Wolves once for you. Hmm… more accurately speaking, Golden Rakkhasa died twice, Bloody Hell Saber died twice, and Flame Wolf ran away. If you want to kill or block him, you’ll have to call for help yourself. No matter what, I don’t have time to continue fighting against them.]

After releasing the messenger pigeon, Wind Chimes walked out of the crowd with a smile on her face. Behind her were two elites with extraordinary presences.

“Big Bro Happy, let me introduce to you Sect Master Divine Force of Profound Wind Sect and Sect Master Li Mi of Celestial Stars Sect. They are the leaders of the local sects with the most elites in Gusu City. My master asked them to protect me and escort me back to Beijing.”

“Brother Happy, we’ve heard of your name for a long time.”

“That’s right. We’ve heard plenty of people talk about your deeds in the past, and now that we’ve seen you with our own eyes, you truly are much more amazing than rumors say about you.”

The two sect leaders had clearly watched Happy fight against the Wild Wolves just now, and they did not dare put on airs in front of Happy. They sounded very humble.

Happy smiled in a humble manner. “You praise me too much. Now, I truly feel at ease with you two coming over to take this burden away from my shoulders.”

He looked at Wind Chimes. “Since you have the sect masters of Profound Wind Sect and Celestial Stars Sect protecting you, I’ll be taking my leave.”

“Alright, have a safe journey.” Wind Chimes knew that Happy had something to do in Jiangnan, which was why he came here in the first place. He had also run into Madam Wang just now, so he also had to go to Mantuo Villa.

“Brother Happy, if you’re going to be staying within the area around Gusu City, you can come over to our headquarters. Celestial Stars Sect will open its doors to welcome you.”

“Haha! Of course!”

Happy wrapped his fist in his palm to return the salute from Sect Master Li Mi before he courteously bade farewell to Sect Master Divine Force. Then, he turned around and left.

Once Happy left into the distance, Sect Master Divine Force looked away and said to Sect Master Li Mi with an underlying meaning in his words, “Brother Li, you seem to be very interested in him. Are you thinking about inviting Happy into Celestial Stars Sect?”

“Heh. Divine Force, don’t tell me that you’re not tempted. It’s not as if you don’t know how strong Wild Wolves is. They’re not someone a normal player at the peak of Inaction Realm can compare to. But Happy managed to win against them one against two. There aren’t many who can compare to him in the entire Chinese server. If there is even the slightest possibility that you can invite him into your sect, you will definitely do something about it. Don’t say that you won’t.”

“But don’t forget just who Happy’s enemies are,” Divine Force reminded him quietly.

When he heard this, Li Mi instantly laughed. “So what about Blood Alliance and Class One Hall? After this battle, I refuse to believe that Blood Alliance and Class One Hall will still be thinking about fighting against Happy. What do you think, Miss Wind Chimes?”

Wind Chimes had been listening to the two sect masters’ conversation. When she heard the question, she smiled. “Sect masters, you must be joking. I’m just a girl, and I’m young to boot. I have never paid much attention to the distribution of power between sects. My master has never allowed me to be involved in this either.”

She ingeniously managed to stop the two sect masters from probing further into the issue.

‘This cunning fox…’ The two sect masters actually knew that there was a possibility that the person who helped Happy write off his crime was Wandering Know-it-all. Only Wandering Know-it-all, who lived right next to the Leading Official of the Inner Cabinet, could handle everything so quickly and in such a timely manner.

Even though they could reason that Wandering Know-it-all’s actions was to repay Happy for saving Wind Chimes, Happy’s act of directly attacking Wild Wolves had indirectly stated that Wandering Know-it-all and Happy had come to a certain agreement.

There was a possibility that Wandering Know-it-all and Happy had come to an agreement.

If that were the case, Happy might truly have the power to fight against Blood Alliance and Class One Hall.

However, Wind Chimes was also able to tell that the two sect masters wanted to get more information from her, and she did not give them a single chance to do so.

The trio left with their own thoughts, and they did not notice that there were two people in the crowd watching them who were conflicted while they stared at the direction where Happy left.

“Senior brother, why didn’t you chase after him when you have such a good chance ahead of you?”

When he faced Wen Yuan’s complaint, Whirlwind Young Li answered in a bold and assured manner. “Chase after him, my foot. I have no relation with him.”

“That’s because your memory is as good as a goldfish’s. If you really have nothing to do with him, how would he know that you’re from the Murong Clan and even give you a Demonic Black Sky Body? You seriously make me so mad! Even if you don’t know him, at least go and talk to him!” Wen Yuan looked sorely disappointed with Whirlwind Young Li.

Whirlwind Young Li just turned his back to him. “Idiot. If he doesn’t actually know me and I go up and tell him that I’m Whirlwind Young Li, he might actually regret it and want me to return his Demonic Black Sky Body to him.”

“You…” Wen Yuan felt so mad he almost fainted. He was completely defeated by Whirlwind Young Li’s sound reasoning.

“Let’s go. We need to train. Is there any meaning to buttering up to someone? It’s better if we train on our own and become outstanding through our own efforts.” Once he finished speaking, Whirlwind Young Li strode forward and returned to Murong Mansion without ever turning back.

While the storm in Gusu City died down, the internet burst into commotion once more.

Wild Wolves appeared with a scheme against Wind Chimes. During that time, Happy happened to be there, and his peerless skills led to Wandering Know-it-all working together with Happy.

Each segment of the event stimulated and shocked the Chinese server. When every single part was connected together, it was as if a level twelve earthquake happened in their hearts. The shock it brought far surpassed the battle replay where Happy killed hundreds of Blood Alliance elites at Ghost’s Domain.

For a period of time, the forum was filled with posts related to such topics.

[Wild Wolves attacked! Happy saved the damsel-in-distress and earned Wandering Know-it-all’s favor!]

[Wild Wolves elites died in Gusu City! Happy attacked fiercely, and those Wild Wolves died twice in his hands!]

[Out of three Wild Wolves, two died, and one fled! I, a nobody from Gusu City, watched the entire fight!]

[If that accident had not happened to Happy one and a half years ago, could he have become the second One Emperor?]

[A broken scheme. Happy’s strength revealed.]

At the same time countless people on the forum were shocked by the fact that Wild Wolves showed up, they were only filled with disbelief and distrust toward the fact that Happy fought against three of them, and that the fight ended with two dead and one injured.

If the three elders of Blood Alliance were top-class elites who shone as brilliantly as stars in the sky in the Chinese server, then the people in Wild Wolves were as bright as the moon.

Each Wild Wolf possessed strength that was infinitesimally close to Tower Master Phantasmal Shadow, who was the tower master of the strongest sect in the Chinese server. Happy could be considered to have done something impossible, and it only caused the people to not believe what they heard.

Even if many of the players in Gusu City uploaded their battle replays of the fight, many people still regarded this fight with great skepticism, saying that they could not possibly be from Wild Wolves.

Because based on their impression, Wild Wolves entered the Chinese server three times in the past, and they brought immeasurable losses to many of the sects in the Chinese server during all three times. In fact, even when One Emperor showed up to fight, Evil Emperor managed to defeat him after challenging him to a duel. In the end, Wandering Know-it-all had to personally contact many of the large sects to fight to the end. They paid a devastating price, and they finally allowed Wild Wolves to understand just how great their determination was.

During that fight, those Wild Wolves were like ghosts.

Wherever they went, regardless of the slightly famous elites or the sect masters, no one could stand against those Wild Wolves.

In fact, even Phantasmal Shadow, a top-class elite who had the hopes of countless players gathered on her, was successfully assassinated by three Wild Wolves.

Hence, not only did many normal players not believe in this news, those who went through that ghostly event did not want to believe in these players’ words readily.

Then, Wind Chimes personally uploaded the battle replay of her being ambushed by Wild Wolves while she was at Common Reed Land. The scene of her using Sky Demon Plays the Zither, which was a final technique, and her words proved the identity of the three Wild Wolves.

The public’s topic of conversation was then gradually directed at Happy.

Because in that battle, Wind Chimes could only wait for her death while she was completely powerless. Many people gritted their teeth while they watched the fight. Then, they watched Happy’s attack, which looked like an attack that came from an immortal from above, and they saw that brief brilliance.

After they acknowledged Happy and Wild Wolves’ identities, many people started discussing Happy’s strength in fervor.

They paid great attention to just how great was the determination of an elite who had been in bed for the past one and a half years to continue fighting and taking revenge in World of Martial Arts.

At the same time, they were even more concerned with this particular question.

If Happy had not been set up that time and continued playing the game normal over the past one and a half years, just how powerful would he become?

Would he become one of the top eight in the world, or arrive at even greater heights?

Would the second One Emperor appear?

For a period of time, public opinion varied.

However, many sects were even more concerned with certain issues behind this incident, along with the effects that would come after this incident.

Some people even began to worry beforehand.

This time, Wild Wolves launched a planned ambush. Just who was it who generously opened the path for Wild Wolves to enter the Chinese server? Also, did the ambush this time mean that Wild Wolves were about to make a comeback?

Also, with Happy’s bad blood with Blood Alliance and Class One Hall, if he were working together with Wandering Know-it-all now, would it bring about a bad effect in their plan to fight against Wild Wolves?

They were also worried about Dream Clouds and Blood Robes’ reaction after Happy displayed such astonishing strength.

But while there were those who were worried for the world, there were also those who longed for the world to descend into chaos. In any case, the forum was already in a state of great alarm.

*****

“Big Sis Shadow, you’ve finally logged off! Come quick! Something major happened!”

“What happened?”

“The forum is about to explode.”

“Forum? Is it Happy again?”

When Phantasmal Shadow walked out her neat bedroom, she saw the two close friends of hers who liked being only in their sleepwear lying all over the couch with large amounts of their skin exposed once more.

“Big sis, you’re amazing!”

“It’s really about him.”

“Oh?” Phantasmal Shadow looked slightly surprised. At the same time, she became curious.

Even when the news of hundreds of elites from Blood Alliance being killed by Happy spread out, her best friends were never this surprised. When Happy’s battle replay reached the top ten, they were only slightly envious. Could it be that whatever happened this time was even more shocking than the last?

Could it be that Happy killed Blood Robes and Dream Clouds?

A few days ago, Happy killed hundreds of people, and he was currently under the Killer Star effect. He might actually be able to kill Blood Robes and Dream Clouds.

The more she thought about this, the more she found this likely. Phantasmal Shadow immediately quickened her footsteps subconsciously.

“What?!” When Phantasmal Shadow saw the title of the post the two women were looking through, she was shocked.

The first thing she thought of was that it was impossible.

But soon, she recognized Flame Wolf in the battle replay.

At that time, he was among the three-man group who ambushed her outside the city. However, at that time, Flame Wolf never exposed his identity, and no one knew that he was from Wild Wolves.

Flame Wolf had been the one who used a strange method to bind her to her spot, which was why the other two people managed to be successful in their attack. She did not even have the chance to stall for time and wait for reinforcements.

She was stunned silent. Phantasmal Shadow was dragged by the two women to the front of the computer, and she frowned.

A total of ten minutes passed. Then, Phantasmal Shadow sucked in a sharp breath. “One Emperor’s assessment at that time is indeed true.”

The two women said nothing. They just cast each other one glance in silence.

Last time, they were still skeptical of One Emperor’s evaluation and views about Happy, but by the looks of it now, he was definitely as strong as One Emperor made him out to be, not any weaker.

Each Wild Wolf was a top-class elite. Their equipment, strength, and skill were the best among the best, and even Phantasmal Shadow had started to train even harder than before because of the assassination last time.

But someone who had been resting for one and a half years had actually managed to rush back to the peak of World of Martial Arts within a short period of time. This was truly something unimaginable.

“I didn’t think that his strength would have reached this degree. By the looks of it, Wandering Know-it-all has already reached some sort of agreement with Happy,” Phantasmal Shadow mumbled under her breath. “If he wants to draw Happy to help him fight against Wild Wolves, Wandering Know-it-all will definitely do something of equivalent value to help him. Looks like, it’s definitely that thing. This time, after Wild Wolves ambushed Wind Chimes, they might think of a way to attack the Chinese server again. When we go back, have our branches to be careful. We’ll also have to contact Wandering Know-it-all.”

She stopped talking for a while, and suddenly, a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

“With a human skin mask and Wandering Know-it-all’s help, the current Happy absolutely does not need to worry about Blood Alliance and Class One Hall stopping his future development. After all, after Blood Robes and Dream Clouds watch this battle replay, they might find themselves with many sleepless nights.”

The two women agreed to her words. “Of course! Even though to a person in coma, that one and a half years might have gone by like a year, but he definitely won’t forget it. If I were in his place, I will definitely use my time in the future to cause those who harmed me to live in a nightmare.”
