Sword Among Us Chapter 56

Chapter 56 - All Sorts of Changes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the group from Dragon Tiger Sect left, Happy continued to train in the valley. His Cloud Treading Steps might have reached the ninth realm, but he was still a distance away from being able to move to heights not possible by human means and anywhere else he wanted at ease.

If he reached Grandmaster Realm, he would need very little qi when he used his lightness skill, and the increase in his speed and the height he could reach would also far surpass what he could do at that moment.

His Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique had also reached Level 86. He was still thirteen levels away from Grandmaster Realm, but when he reached it, his qi cultivation technique would activate on its own. He was still a long way away from it, however.

Happy believed that after experiencing the battle with him, Dragon Tiger Sect would restrain themselves and would not dare to antagonize him for the time being. Eastern Green Gate and Whirlwind Young Li would also become more safe.

With his peace restored, he would practice his lightness skill and qi cultivation technique until they reached max level. Later on, when he wandered about the land, even if he ran into situations he could not handle, he should have no problems in fleeing.

Just like that, half a day passed, and night came.

Happy flew even faster under the slightly cool breeze. Every time he used his qi cultivation technique to restore his qi, he could last for a longer stretch of time. From his initial five minutes in the ninth realm, he gradually extended that time to eight minutes, and by then, he could fly for about ten minutes.

It was a pity that while the speed at which he circulated his qi using Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique became faster, his speed at which he increased his Experience Points (EXP) for his qi cultivation technique became slower. Every time he circulated his qi, it would only increase by 0.03%. Hence, it was still stuck at the ninth realm, and it would take him a long time to reach the tenth realm.

When his lightness skill was about to reach Grandmaster Realm, a messenger pigeon flew in from beyond the valley. It chased after Happy’s flying figure while flapping its wings and came to rest steadily on his shoulder.

Happy let out a light gasp of surprise and quickly stopped. He took out the paper tied to the messenger pigeon’s leg.

[Senior brother, you’re amazing! How did you do it? The sect master of Dragon Tiger Sect actually admitted that he couldn’t win against you and ordered all those in his sect to avoid you when they see you next time! Haha! You’re too awesome! Now, Gusu City is boiling with excitement, and everyone is talking about your fight against Dragon Tiger Sect. Recently, a few sect masters who created their sects came to us and asked us to contact you. I think they want to invite you to join them!

[Haha! Senior brother, you must absolutely not come back for some time. Let us enjoy the pleasure of having someone beg us for stuff! Haha, this feels too amazing…]

At first glance, Happy knew that it was Whirlwind Young Li’s message.

When he read through the news, not only did Happy not become happy, he started pondering his situation.

He originally thought that as long as he did not reveal what happened, Dragon Tiger Sect would understand his intentions and be grateful for it, so much so that they would not cause trouble to him in the future and gang up on him. He also thought that no one would publicize this matter.

Why then did Dragon Tiger Sect reveal the matter of losing to him after they returned to Gusu City?

If the sect master of Dragon Tiger Sect did this, he just increased Happy’s prestige and reputation, especially with the order of avoiding him if they ever ran into him. It would also clearly ruin Dragon Tiger Sect’s might and their awe-inspiring presence as the strongest sect…

‘Do they intend to mend our relationship?’

Aside from this, Happy could think of no other reason why they would make such a sacrifice.

However, he would not be grateful for their good intentions because of this. In his eyes, Dragon Tiger Sect was just a group of random people gathered together that could pose no threat to him. As long as they did not take the initiative to provoke him, he would not go to cause trouble for them. As for mending their relationship? He would rather not in case he got into unnecessary trouble because of Dragon Tiger Sect in the future.

When he thought it through, Happy hastily replied to Whirlwind Young Li before returning to fly around the meadow in the valley.

When noon arrived, Happy logged off to eat, just as he usually did it.

When he removed his helmet, he noticed that the atmosphere in the dorm was strange. He turned his head to the side and found that the Three Lonely Wolves were all present, and they sat in a circle around the table. Their expressions were solemn, and they looked very serious.

Once Happy saw them, he immediately understood that something big had happened, or else the three of them would not have such an expression.

However, something was not right. During the start of the game, the Three Lonely Wolves not suffered any major setbacks or hardships, and he knew about the few times they did. So what happened?

‘Could it be..?’

When a certain thought rose in his mind, Happy suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.

Could it be that because of the suggestions he provided that caused the parts of the progression of events in the world to change slightly, like the inclusion of South China Martial Arts Ranking Board into the official website, had brought about some unexpected changes?

‘Looks like I should reduce my involvement in South China Martial Arts Ranking Board in the future. If too many changes occur, I might accidentally cause unknown changes and dangers to a website that is supposed to have a rather good development in the future.’ While Happy rebuked himself in his heart, he nonchalantly jumped down from his bed.

“What’s wrong with you guys? Did you run into any problems with affiliating yourselves with the official website?”

“What? Nah, we just got through with the application.”

Bai Lang nudged his glasses up. He looked a little disinterested. “But the official website for World of Martial Arts just launched a minor competition, a martial arts tournament! They asked all the regions who are affiliated to them to recommend a player whose abilities are quite good to enter the competition so that they could be certain of the ranks of each region.”

“A martial arts tournament?”

Happy was stunned.

It was not that he did not have any impression of this. He had relied on martial arts tournaments such as this to continuously spar against powerful players from all over the country and even all over the world. Because of that, he had managed to get himself extraordinary fighting skills and experience facing various enemies.

However, at that time, those tournaments were all held in the game itself…

Could it be that the predecessor of the martial arts tournament was through some tests and data offline before they officially spread it through World of Martial Arts?

Since the problem that troubled the Three Lonely Wolves did not have anything to do with the immediate interests of the website, Happy instantly released a breath of relief and asked about the details.

“The deal is…” Chen Fan told him the truth.

In reality, what truly troubled the trio was not the ranking that would come due to the martial arts tournament, but if they wanted to join this martial arts tournament, the website in charge of the region had to organize a rather large-scale tournament of their own.

The number of people participating in the tournament had to be over one hundred for it to count!

Only with this prerequisite would the person who emerged as the victor be selected as the person recommended by the website. They would then fight against the other recommended people from other websites and receive a ranking.

Initially, the Three Lonely Wolves were very excited once they received this news. They went about trying to encourage the students in the university to enter the tournament.

But once they knew that they had to fight against the top players in the country, all the players who had yet to reach Gate Realm backed out, and even the students who had just entered Gate Realm felt that they had no hope of winning. They did not want to waste their time to participate in such a meaningless fight.

Because of that, they only managed to gather around sixty people, and most of them were their friends. There were very few of them who were strong. Most of the powerful ones on South China Martial Arts Ranking Board did not join.

“Count me in.”

Once Happy understood the whole story, he showed that he was willing to join without any hesitation.

“It doesn’t matter if one more person joins. We must have one hundred people before the officials recognize the University of South China as a region.” Qi Ci looked resigned. “But the tournament will take up a lot of time and hold up progress, and the officials already said that only the victor will have rewards, so there is no motivation for anyone to just participate. That’s why we can’t mobilize them. South China Martial Arts Ranking Board will definitely end up at the last place, and we won’t even have a rank. We’ll only have an empty title.”

When he heard Qi Ci’s words, Happy was stunned for a moment, then a confident smile stretched across his lips.

“If you only want to motivate the people, I have a plan.”

The trio was stunned!
