Chapter 1010: One Emperor Appears
“Mister Chen, you’re recovering really quickly! I’ve been a doctor for many years, and this is the first time I see someone being able to move about at ease after recovering from a comatose state. Based on my observations, as long as you go through physiotherapy for another week, your body will completely recover to how it was before. Then, you won’t need to continue training in the physiotherapy room.”
On this day, Happy’s attending physician reached his room and saw Happy strolling on the running mill while he seized every second he had to eat. Admiration and gratification rose on his face.
“Of course, this cannot be separated from the fact that you have been proactively cooperating with us in training. You have to continue working hard!”
“Thank you, doctor.”“Haha! You’re welcome.”
Once the attending physician left, Young Yi, who had been waiting for a while outside the door, came inside.
“Congratulations, master! Looks like you can be discharged soon.”
“If I calculate the time, almost two months have passed. It’s about time that I get better.” Happy got down the running mill. His mood was pretty good.
“But I don’t think you’re that diligent at all, aside from how you actually shifted your physiotherapy sessions to your mealtime and after your meal,” Young Yi grumbled by the side.
Happy could only laugh wanly in his heart and pretend he did not hear that.
No one knew about his troubles.He had to take care of both sides.
If he lazed about in his tasks, one day would pass by. If he really had time, he naturally had to make careful plans, and he could not afford to waste even a single second.
“By the way, master, right now, everyone outside is talking about how you’ll seize the chance to completely destroy Class One Hall, and Beijing is now in a state of alarm. Class One Hall has already summoned many of their elites back in order to fight against you. Are you really going to attack Class One Hall’s headquarters?”
Young Yi asked the question she had been dying to ask, and she did so in the air of someone who really loved gossip.
Xu Yao paused in whatever she was doing and looked over.
Ever since she learned of the things Happy did in the game, Xu Yao began to pay attention to the information in the game, and she never missed a single piece of news about Happy. Naturally, she knew about this as well.
“Destroying Class One Hall isn’t that easy.” Happy shook his head and chuckled softly.
“But this rumor is already spreading on the forums like wildfire, and you’re currently heading straight to Beijing while destroying a few of Class One Hall’s branches along the way. Even the elites Barren Murderer brought with him can do nothing about you.”
Young Yi’s eyes sparkled. The spirit of gossip burned endlessly in them, and she looked as if she would not stop questioning Happy until she got to the bottom of it.
“It’s not as exaggerated as the world makes it seem.” Happy thought about this for a while before he sighed.
“The branches I destroyed didn’t have any elites guarding them, and even if there was, they wouldn’t dare appear so readily. It’s only natural that no one could stop me.”
“Yeah.” Young Yi nodded before she shook her head vigorously, showing just how conflicted she felt. “But you managed to kill so many of the top-class elites that Barren Murderer gathered with him…”
When Happy heard this, he chuckled softly. “It’s their fault for choosing to attack me at Dragon’s Gate. Even though I predicted that they would only be able to launch an ambush against me at Dragon’s Gate, since they have so many people, I didn’t expect that Barren Murderer would not be so impatient. He couldn’t wait until I got out of the town, but just had to attack me at Survival Platform.”
“If you got out of the town, you would have left Class One Hall’s encirclement, right?”
Young Yi looked lost.
Class One Hall was the one who set up an ambush against Happy, but based on Happy’s words, it seemed like the situation was not as simple as she thought it was.
Happy smiled and sat on his bed in a rather relaxed manner. “Right from the start, I never thought about attacking Class One Hall’s headquarters, and I’m not that stupid as to go marching to my own death at Class One Hall’s headquarters.”
“Hmm?”
“Forget about the fact Class One Hall’s foundation is at least ten times sturdier than normal branches, we have to remember that there are at least eighty thousand people gathered at Class One Hall’s headquarters! There are plenty of elites there! Do you think that I can go there and just launch a full frontal assault like I’m dealing with a normal sect?
“Eighty thousand people! That number is enough for them to lock down a circular area of one-third of a mile around Class One Hall. Anyone who goes there will definitely die. Barren Murderer only brought only a dozen people this time and set up a small Fatal Flying Matrix on Survival Platform at Dragon’s Gate, and I was nearly unable to escape. How would I be stupid enough to march to my own death at Class One Hall’s headquarters and let Class One Hall become famous from it?”
Young Yi said nothing, because she found herself getting more confused the more she listened.
“But Class One Hall should know the reason why I’m heading north in such a flashy manner, that’s why they had to send Barren Murderer to stop me. The attempt to kill me at Dragon’s Gate caught me by slight surprise, if I have to be honest. I didn’t expect their Fatal Flying Matrix either.
“If Barren Murderer had been slightly more level-headed and waited until I got out of Dragon’s Gate before I attacked, he might actually have been able to kill me. Unfortunately for him, he chose Dragon’s Gate, and that place doesn’t have a wide area available for anyone to move around. He just wanted to use his various factions of power to whittle down my momentum, but he did not expect that he gave me the chance to turn the tables around instead.”
Happy stopped talking for a moment and looked at Young Yi, who looked confused. “Oh well, even if I continue rambling on, you wouldn’t understand. Let’s put it in simpler terms. I don’t have the strength to fight against Class One Hall’s headquarters alone. I won’t be going to Class One Hall’s headquarters, but I don’t mind creating a tense atmosphere for Class One Hall.”
Young Yi said nothing. She just patted her own head in dejectedness.
But Xu Yao seemed to have understood the meaning behind Happy’s words. “You want the enemy to become nervous on their own and make them open for attack.”
“That’s right.” A sharp look gradually formed in Happy’s eyes. “Right now, the entire world knows that Class One Hall and Dream Clouds is definitely the organization working with Wild Wolves. But Class One Hall is an incredibly tough bone to chew. They’re so strong that no one would dare to attack Class One Hall, and even Wind Assault Tower would not dare to readily wage war against this powerful enemy. Right now, we need Class One Hall to expose their own weaknesses.”
“Is Barren Murderer failing in their ambush against you considered a weakness?”
Xu Yao’s words, which seemed to have an underlying meaning, caused Happy to quirk his eyebrows. He sized her up in surprise. “Yao, it seems like you didn’t toss away many of the things you learned over the three years in World of Martial Arts.”
“…It’s not that easy to forget everything.” Xu Yao’s expression turned gloomy.
When he saw this, Happy knew that he had mentioned something that he should not have, so he immediately switched the topic and his tone. “That’s right, Barren Murderer made a mistake in leaving Beijing with elites from Heaven’s Music Sect, Five Venoms, Assassin Hall, and Blood Alliance. Even if he was almost fully confident that he can defeat me, once he leaves Beijing, meaning that he left the spot where Class One Hall’s power and influence is the most stable, it’s practically impossible for him to return to Beijing unscathed.”
The great confidence in his voice caused Xu Yao and Young Yi to be shocked.
“Why?”
“You should know about Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow, Wandering Know-it-all, and One Emperor allying with each other.”
“Naturally.” Young Yi nodded.
Before Evil Emperor defeated One Emperor, Wandering Know-it-all had already contacted One Emperor and Phantasmal Shadow to create the most powerful alliance in fighting against Wild Wolves.
Among the three of them, one of them was the Chinese server’s best diviner, who could read all the events in the world even if he did not go out of his house; one of them was the strongest player in the Chinese server and a person fully deserving of the title sword god; and the last of them was the leader of the strongest sect in the Chinese server, and who had the strongest charisma.
Ever since Evil Emperor left the Chinese server, the trio were said to have never laxed in their efforts to prevent Wild Wolves in invading the Chinese server.
They relied on Wandering Know-it-all’s divinations, Phantasmal Shadow’s tower members, who were spread all around the Chinese server, and her influence, which was everywhere in the game, and One Emperor’s strength, which was only second to Evil Emperor!
The iron triangle formed by the three giants maintained the stability in the Chinese server and stopped Wild Wolves from invading and seeping into the Chinese server.
They were also the people who were the most proactive and took the most initiative in fighting against Wild Wolves.
However, Young Yi and Xu Yao did not quite understand why Happy had suddenly mentioned this.
“Wild Wolves is working with Class One Hall. Once this war completely breaks out, do you think that Wandering Know-it-all-, Wind Assault Tower, and One Emperor can win?”
“No… They don’t…”
Xu Yao and Young Yi shook their heads at the same time.
Xu Yao said, “In the past, Evil Emperor has already proven his strength to the people in the world. Besides, Wild Wolves has plenty of elites!
“And meanwhile, Wandering Know-it-all, Phantasmal Shadow, and One Emperor are relying only on Wind Assault Tower, and in terms of strength, they’re only slightly stronger than Dream Clouds’ Class One Hall.
“Class One Hall also has a strong ally in Blood Alliance. In terms of strength, they have already surpassed Wind Assault Tower. Once Wild Wolves officially works together with Class One Hall, Wind Assault Tower cannot win against them at all.”
The two women’s faces were pale, and they finally understood what Happy meant.
“Unless all the players in the Chinese server rise up to fight,” Young Yi mumbled.
Happy interrupted her mercilessly, “You should already know that no matter how many normal players there are, they are absolutely not intimidating to top-class elites.”
“Are you saying…?”
When he saw the two women’s expectant gazes, Happy shrugged and answered in a very irresponsible manner, “I don’t know. If it were me, I will definitely not give Class One Hall the time and chance to work together with Wild Wolves. I will first attack and destroy Class One Hall. Then, even if the Chinese server is badly damaged, Wild Wolves will not have the chance to harvest anything from the land. They will leave sooner or later, and Wind Assault Tower as well as the Chinese server will still have a chance to rise.
“If they lose this chance, Wild Wolves will force their way into the Chinese server, and the first ones they will destroy will be Wind Assault Tower and Wandering Know-it-all! At that time, Class One Hall and Wild Wolves will control the Chinese server, and no one can threaten their positions anymore!”
The two women held their breaths.
“You didn’t tell Phantasmal Shadow about that?”
“I don’t need to. Those people high on top don’t like people telling them what to do. But while I don’t know what Phantasmal Shadow intends to do, that woman has always been very smart, and she knows when to seize chances. She’s also very resolute when she does things. I think that she won’t make me disappointed. She should have already taken action against Barren Murderer and his group by now.” Happy smiled while he said those words with a firm tone.
But Xu Yao and Young Yi found themselves unable to smile.
The situation was already incredibly tense, but what Happy said was all just his assumptions.
The two women cast their gazes at the tablet on the tea table at the same time.
They gathered together simultaneously and quickly went to the official website.
Boom!
An explosive thread appeared at the top of the forum in an incredibly eye-catching manner.
[Declaration of war! Wind Assault Tower officially attacks Class One Hall! Barren Murderer and all his top-class elites died outside Dragon’s Gate. One Emperor also seems to have appeared!]
