Chapter 683: “This Fight… It Was Worth It!”

On that night, Happy organized a small gathering for the higher ups of Mu Clan in his small base. Three Lonely Wolves arrived, along with Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, Bum, Fatty, Rampaging Dragon, One Circle, and the others. Xu Xin brought Xu Yao, Glutinous Rice, and her friends from her dorm to help out in the kitchen, and it was very lively.

Once they drank and ate their fill, the group sat in a circle around the long table and talked about the fight at the summit of Mount Tai, along with the shocking great feast in Mu Clan that had warriors from all over the place flocking over to it.

“Happy, since we have a lot of Fire Qilin Blood, why didn’t you use it from the start? The end result of your fight might have been better if you fought against One Emperor in Moksha Realm.”

Puffy God was ranked among the top five in West Region, and he was a very important person there, but there were rumors that said that he found a junior as his girlfriend, and he was trying his best to cut his weight. He looked much thinner than before, and he was now very pleasant to the eyes. He also became a lot more mature.

The people in the room immediately nodded to his words.

In truth, everyone could tell that during the battle at Mount Tai, Happy had never taken the initiative to attack. He allowed One Emperor to bring out his full power, but himself had only used one attack in the form of a sword qi from his finger right at the end of the duel where he and One Emperor both died.

In their eyes, if Happy had fought at full strength right from the start, he might have the throne of the strongest firmly in his grasp. Even if the impact of him becoming the first on Dragon Rank because of reaching Moksha Realm was already very great.

“That’s different.” Chen Fan rolled his eyes and took over the conversation. “Our Happy isn’t someone who is willing to use his qi realm to suppress others. He wanted to give One Emperor a chance to fight fairly, and he was going to show his full power after holding back. Once the fight ends, he’d hit him with ‘I haven’t actually used my full power.’ Haha!”

Chen Fan was too excited, and he also drank a little beer, so he sounded a little incoherent.

Happy smiled in resignation. “Even if I entered Moksha Realm beforehand, the results would be about the same. One Emperor’s seventh sword is amazing, and it lives up to its name. There is no one in the game who can dodge it for now. Even if I reached Moksha Realm, I’m not confident that I could avoid that slash with my life intact within half a year. One Emperor is a very incredible person.”

Once the main character spoke in the living room, the people who intended to debate about it instantly fell silent.

Happy was not just the master of the apartment, but also their boss.

Mu Clan had become so great that it was basically a large organization. Every person in the room had a position in it as either clan master, manager of the headquarters or a branch, or that of a branch master.

Even though everyone still shared a friendship as university mates and course mates, they also shared the friendship of comrades and colleagues, along with other feelings.

This was especially so ever since Happy left the university dorms to live alone for most of the year. The majority of people only ever come into contact with him in the game, which was why most of the time, they put themselves in a position where they remembered the relationship they shared with Happy in the game and did not treat him purely as a university mate.

But Happy was still very pleased that he could retain the harmonious environment around him.

When the others heard his remark about One Emperor, they nodded.

What he said was true.

One Emperor was a player with no game organization backing him up. He moved around alone for a year, and he still managed to be so strong that he stood equal to Happy. They were both the strongest in the game, which was a very difficult feat.

“It’s a pity that we can’t convince him to join us.”

“That’s right. If we could convince One Emperor to join Mu Clan, we would be invincible.”

“With Happy, One Emperor, Silver Wolf, Momo, Wind Chimes, and all of us, we might be able to create a legacy that would last for a long time, and we might even be able to unify the entire Chinese server!”

“Haha!”

Bai Lang and Qi Ci were incredibly excited and talked one after the other. They did not notice that a person had walked out of the kitchen at that moment.

Happy cast a contemplative glance at Xu Yao, who walked out of the kitchen. There was a bit of surprise and an unnatural look on her face. It was clear that she had heard what the Three Lonely Wolves said.

“One Emperor is a real swordsman. He told me once that he will not join any organizations, so it’s better if you give up on this idea.”

“Huh?”

“Even without One Emperor, I still think that Mu Clan is the strongest. It’s not impossible for us to unite the entire Chinese server.”

Phoenix Dances had been holding her teacup, and when she spoke up out of the blue, she attracted everyone’s attention.

“During the day, more than two hundred sect masters from everywhere came to Baokang to congratulate us, and among them were Class One Hall and Towering Palace. Every sect has the intention to be on good terms with us.”

Phoenix Dances spoke at a moderate pace and soon everyone was looking at her.

The current Phoenix Dances was not just much more mature in her temperament, but also much more meticulous. She paid a lot more attention to detail. It was the result of being baptized by countless battles in West Region.

Happy smiled faintly as he looked at her. He felt that he could see the Phoenix Dances of his previous life.

Her words were simple, but they went straight to the point.

“I’m talking about more than two hundred sects with more than ten thousand members. I didn’t include the medium-sized and small sects.”

She was proud and pleased when she said those words, and the people’s eyes sparkled with different emotions. They could feel passion burning in them, and they were all deeply affected by it.

“I heard that the two hundred or so sect masters gave gifts that are all worth more than one thousand taels of silver. Some of those who came later sent their gifts in batches.”

Silence took the floor for a moment.

“There are more than fifty sects who gave gifts worth more than ten million taels of silver! A few of the rich ones, along with our local allies, gave gifts worth more than ten million taels of gold! There’s also the gifts from Chivalry Sect, Towering Palace, and Class One Hall, which I won’t mention for the moment.”

When Phoenix Dances said those words, she was looking at Happy without blinking.

He looked back at her calmly. “Xu Yao knows the details about the gifts the best. Why don’t we have her give us a clear account of it?”

Phoenix Dances’ eyes sparkled, and she nodded.

“Er… okay.”

Xu Yao was slightly stunned. She did not expect that Happy would ask her to do something at that moment. But soon, she became calm once more.

“Most of the gifts are in the form of resources. The large sects mainly sent unakites and Vajra Stones, so we’ve received more than one thousand and three hundred of them. A few sects gave us Phantasmal Crystals, and we gained more than sixty of them. This batch of resources is the major part of the profit we earned. They are worth nearly ten billion.

“The number of gold we gained is worth more than one hundred million as well. Then, we also have Moksha Realm martial art manuals and supreme grade medicinal herbs, whose value cannot be determined. There are also some items that are rarely given as gifts. Anyway, if we calculate the total profit, we should have earned more than twenty billion.”

Even Happy quirked his eyebrows slightly at the number she gave.

Even though he knew that Baokang had caused quite a ruckus, he did not expect that the duel would have such a great effect. Thunderous Battle’s spontaneous decision had resulted in a lot of profit for Mu Clan.

Happy was silent for a few seconds before he said something that made the people in the room not know whether they should laugh or cry.

“The fight… It was worth it!”
