Chapter 938: Attention from Phantasmal Shadow
Morning was the peak of time where many people switched on their computers to work and absorb new information of the day.
The news of Happy’s return into the game had started spreading since yesterday afternoon, and many people still remembered it. Right now, when they went to the internet, they quickly noticed a hot thread being pinned at the top of the forum.
[The elite of the past has returned! Dozens of Blood Alliance members tried to kill him, but didn’t manage to, and were killed instead. Happy displays his might at Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts]
It can be said that the person who made the t.i.tle was definitely very good at gossip.
Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts was one of the few, highly difficult training spots in the game. There were plenty of Moksha Realm players who do not dare readily enter the place.
Right now, Happy was only in Life and Death Realm, and he already appeared in the mountain villa. This in itself had already attracted quite a lot of attention and skepticism.
When they connected this to the quality of Blood Alliance’s members, it instantly attracted a lot of players’ curiosity, and it attracted countless people’s attention!
The battle replay inside was recorded in a very complete manner.
Right when Happy appeared, he immediately caused a fire to burn in the people’s spirits, and they became excited.
The people would not have felt anything if Happy had pushed open the door to any other house and came out of the place, but the problem was that Happy came out of a house in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, and this shocked many Moksha Realm players.
[What the heck?!]
[A Life and Death Realm player came out of a treasure house in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts?!]
[Is this a joke?]
[Did he really stay comatose for one and a half years?]
*****
The start of the battle replay had already attracted many people’s curiosity. It also damaged their confidence a little.
Then came Happy’s bold words.
His attacks were the pinnacle of perfection.
With a simple pull and yank, a Moksha Realm player ended up with his face flat against the ground right when he engaged Happy in a fight.
Many people were unable to believe their own eyes when they saw this scene. In fact, they thought that the Moksha Realm player was an actor Happy hired, because there was no way a Moksha Realm player can allow a Life and Death Realm player succeed in his attack so easily.
But when they saw Happy mercilessly kick that person into the group from Blood Alliance before he instantly rushed into the second Blood Alliance member’s bosom while remaining calm as he dodged his attacks with clean movements, his unbelievable speed, judgment toward timing, as well as his subsequent force in his attacks and the frequency destroyed their suspicions into bits, even though it had just risen in their hearts.
Even though the second Blood Alliance member died even faster than the last, what was even more unbelievable was that he had actually activated his body fortification and qi realm. The damage in each of Happy’s attacks was incredibly abnormal. It was clear that those were hidden forces, which were skills that only top-cla.s.s elites used. Happy had used hidden forces repeatedly to attack his enemy, and in three seconds, he killed him.
This was not something that can be done even when two people worked together to put on a show.
Killing intent burned on Happy’s face, and his fighting spirit rose.
He soared in the sky again.
From a spectator’s view, there was absolutely no gap in Happy’s series of attacks. In less than ten seconds, the second person died shortly into the battle in a strange manner, and the third person was sent sprawling on the ground, but the spectators could not see what happened because someone blocked them. It was only when the fourth person died that they could see what happened.
Happy grabbed him and cut at him even faster with a hidden force.
That person’s tender neck was crushed.
Then, he mercilessly stepped on the victim who fell on the ground. He attacked so resolutely and calmly that all who saw it could sense Happy’s unquestionable intention for revenge.
Silence.
When some people saw this, they even clenched their fists, and their hands were covered in sweat.
Once the Sawtooth Brothers appeared on stage, they finally returned some dignity to Blood Alliance, because someone who was rather decent finally appeared.
When the Sawtooth Brothers worked together with their sawtooth sabers, they gave off the feeling that they were mini bosses.
But what happened next caused everyone to be caught by surprise, because they did not expect it to happen.
Happy charged into their midst unhesitantly, rammed into them with his knee, and used one of the brothers’ saber to attack. Then, he used his momentum to cut off the older Sawtooth Brother’s neck before he turned around to kill the second one with a shock.
At the moment the Blood Alliance members in the battle replay retreated in shock, the battle replay then stopped at the moment Happy captured two Blood Alliance members.
Boom!
The internet descended into a ruckus.
A Life and Death Realm player who had already been forgotten by the people for one and a half years gave many people a vivid lesson on the second day he returned to the game.
He killed ten Moksha Realm Blood Alliance members alone, and he even terrified the remaining dozen people into fleeing.
This was something that had never happened before in the history of World of Martial Arts.
Many people commented and followed the thread. All of them stated that they were too shocked.
Some people stated that Happy was indeed among the top sixteen in the world, and that he truly had the possibility of getting into the top eight in the world.
There were also some people who said that Cla.s.s One Hall and Blood Robes destroyed a Chinese elite in the past.
In fact, there were even some people who stated that if Cla.s.s One Hall and Blood Robes had not used their sinister methods to reduce Happy to nothing, perhaps another elite who can fight against Evil Emperor will appear in the Chinese server, and they would not have One Emperor to stand against him alone!
However, there were a lot more people who were just amazed by Happy’s strength.
At the same time, they wondered whether the revenge battles between Happy and Blood Robes will continue increasing in intensity. Happy clearly had skills that, without a doubt, belonged to top-cla.s.s elites. It was just that his qi realm was not high enough.
*****
“On the second day he woke up, he became the focus of all conversations, and everyone is talking about him. As expected of the Mad Shaolin Disciple who nearly got into the top eight in the world in the past.”
In a luxurious parlor located at the top of an office building was a woman with an extraordinary presence and who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six. She held a cup of coffee with hot steam rising from it while she stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. She looked down from the highest spot in the city quietly to admire the scenery in the city.
Behind her was a couch, and there were two women who were only dressed in pyjamas while they revealed their long and s.e.xy legs. They casually occupied half of the couch each. One of them stuck up the beautiful curve of her posterior while she scrolled through the forum, and the other sniffed the sweet aroma of her coffee while she closed her eyes to rest her mind.
“Mad Shaolin Disciple, hmm? He does indeed have that nickname in the past.”
“You still remember him?”
“Of course.”
The one who spoke was not the woman in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. It was the alluring woman who shut her eyes to enjoy the aroma of coffee. “That year, he continuously challenged many famous elites, and later on, he never lost once even after he fought in dozens of battles. Some of the famous elites, including the three kings and seven dukes in the past, avoided his challenges. They intentionally went out to carry out quests so that they can avoid this lunatic.”
“Why?” the woman scrolling through the forum asked curiously.
The alluring woman opened her clear eyes. “He has three years of experience, and for more than one year, he continuously fought in high intensity battles. His fighting skills and instincts have already been polished to a frightening degree. There are lots of details about him that cause many people to be terrified about him even when they just look at him. You saw his battle replay, right? His use of hidden force has already reached perfection, and many people want to search for his weaknesses or try to get advantages over him from his battle replays, but they can’t find it.”
“He’s that good?”
“If he’s not that good, why do you think Blood Robes will intentionally get close to him and become his friend in the real world and in the game?” the woman in front of the floor-to-ceiling window spoke again. There was a faint hint of admiration and sentimentality in her voice.
“During those years, some people b.u.mp some people to fame, and they made a ranking, ranking those they thought as strong as one emperor, two empresses, three kings, seven dukes, and thirteen aces. There are plenty of people who value those t.i.tles a lot.
“Happy’s strength is absolutely enough for him to get into the ranks of the three kings, and many people know that. But since he took an unorthodox path and did not rely on proper organizations to get stronger, many people ignored him.”
“How pitiful.” The woman scrolling through the forum turned her head around.
“If you’re talking about how he became comatose for one and a half years, he does indeed deserve pity, but now, I think that Blood Robes is the one who deserves to be pitied the most,” the woman in front of the floor-to-ceiling window said.
Her words caused the two ladies on the couch to look surprised. “Why?”
The lady in front of the window did not even turn her around to answer. “One and a half years ago, Happy had not truly become successful, and he doesn’t have all that he has now, but he still had a chance to win.”
Neither of the two women said anything.
“But Blood Robes has stood at the peak for years, yet even so, he didn’t manage to completely destroy Happy. Right now, Happy seems to still retain his strength and att.i.tude when he was at his peak. I believe that soon, Blood Robes will not be able to keep still.”
“Blood Robes? The alliance master of Blood Alliance?” The woman scrolling through the forum did not seem to believe her.
“He’s currently in Inaction Realm, and with that skill, he can even enter Myth Realm. He’s currently the only person in the Chinese server who can stand against you. The Mad Shaolin Temple you’re talking about is only in Life and Death Realm right now. The difference between them is too great.”
The woman in front of the window chuckled softly. “You just mentioned it. He’s currently in Life and Death Realm, and that state will only last for the time being.”
The two women on the couch looked at each other at a loss.
But before they can say anything, the woman in front of the window spoke again, “Alright. Break is over. Return to the game. Prepare a seat.
“Isn’t the position of hall chief for Azure Dragon Hall empty all this while? From today onwards, it belongs to Happy.”
“Huh?”
“What?!”
The two women panicked. “Big Sis Phantasmal Shadow, if you do that, won’t you be turning complete enemies against Blood Alliance?”
“Just listen to me. You won’t go wrong with it.”
Phantasmal Shadow’s voice was calm, and she was confident. “In the past, Happy was the only opponent who could make One Emperor be interested in him, even though he mentioned this half a year before the incident. However, there are only three people in the Chinese server who managed to catch One Emperor’s attention, and the only person who managed to catch One Emperor’s attention and make him want to fight against him is only Happy.”
The two women on the couch were completely stunned when they heard those words.
‘One Emperor’s opponent? When did that happen?!’
Phantasmal Shadow’s calm voice continued drifting into their ears. “Wind a.s.sault Tower might have powerful players and are powerful, Blood Alliance is different. Besides, our enemy is Evil Emperor. No matter how hard Blood Robes trains, he will not be qualified to become Evil Emperor’s opponent. This Mad Shaolin Disciple might have a chance given time.”
“Big Sis Phantasmal Shadow, if you’re dragging Happy into the guild, are you hoping that he can help us fight against Evil Emperor?”
For the first time ever since the conversation started, Phantasmal Shadow’s tone fluctuated, and she enunciated her words clearly. “Right now, everything I do is to fight against him and protect Wind a.s.sault Tower.”
“Big Sis Phantasmal Shadow…”
However, Phantasmal Shadow’s tone changed, and she became uncertain. “But I’m worried.”
The two women on the couch sat up straight. “What are you worried about?”
“I’m worried that this Happy will reject my invitation because of some lame man’s pride and think about taking down Blood Robes’ alone. That will be troublesome by then.”
The two women looked at each other at a loss. They were stunned silent.
They could not believe that there was anyone in the game now who will refuse Phantasmal Shadow’s invitation to take up the position of hall chief for Azure Dragon Hall, the most important position in Wind a.s.sault Tower, and they absolutely cannot imagine how Phantasmal Shadow would actually worry about herself being rejected.
If they told this to others, no one would believe them.
