Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Green Lit Wooden Fish.
The Shaolin disciple who showed great splendor in the tournament had a very Buddhist name. With his simple monk’s robe, he looked like an eminent monk.
Green Lit Wooden Fish was also a player who joined the game quite early, but to participate in a quest that others were not quite willing to try. He traveled far and wide and ventured deep into West Region to enter Persia so that he could gain an understanding of the essence of Buddha. He spent half a year over there, but did not gain much results. Instead, his qi cultivation fell behind the other players, and he fell into obscurity.
Later on, he returned to the Chinese plains, and over the years, he tried his best to catch up, hoping that he could return to the ranks of the first-class players…
When Green Lit Wooden Fish first joined Lovely Land, he was not outstanding. It seemed like he was even brutally killed because of revenge before he joined Lovely Land. Those who knew him were already very shocked that he managed to get into the tournament and become one of the lucky one hundred to advance to the finals. Today, Ji Feng believed that he had already shocked multiple people with such outstanding results.
“He became so strong so suddenly?”
Happy was sharp, and he discovered something odd about this.
“Yes!” Ji Feng did not notice that Happy’s thoughts had already moved elsewhere. He was still excited and exhilarated that Lovely Land was able to get a person who managed to win over those who were supreme-class elites. “The Shaolin disciples have been pretty quiet over the past few years, so it’s not strange that some disciples ran into fortuitous events and rose to power. But we actually managed to draw them to our side! We’ve definitely covered the money we spent on our audience seats this time!”
When Lin Xiao and Phantasmal Shadow heard Ji Feng’s words, they cast Happy a glance in silence.
Happy sensed the profound gazes from the two sect leaders, and he really wanted to crack Ji Feng’s head open to see what on earth he was thinking about…
The Shaolin disciples had no one famous popping up…?
It seemed like Ji Feng did not know that Happy came from Shaolin temple.
As the sect master of Lovely Land, it was a little embarrassing for him that his vice sect master had excluded him from the ranks of those from Shaolin Temple. In fact, he found it quite hard to accept that Ji Feng did not know that he was from Shaolin Temple.
“Don’t you have any other information?”
“That’s all the information that we have for the time being… Sect Master, what other information do you want?” Ji Feng asked in a very responsible fashion.
Happy did not answer. Instead, he turned his head to Wandering Know-it-all.
“Master.”
“Happy, there’s no need for us to be so polite with each other. Just call me by my name, or you can even call me Big Brother Wanderer.” Wandering Know-it-all seemed to have been snapped out of his daze by Happy. He said with clear eyes.
“Alright.” Happy did not hold back. “Big Brother Wanderer, I heard you mention that Green Lit Wooden Fish used Golden Arhat Bell just now. If it’s convenient for you, could you tell me about this Golden Arhat Bell?”
“What? You’re a Shaolin disciple. How could you have never heard about Golden Arhat Bell before?”
Wandering Know-it-all asked in surprise.
Ji Feng heard about this by the side, and he became stunned. He turned his head to the side stiffly, and his face burned red.
“Oh? Is the Golden Arhat Bell really famous? I’ve never heard about it before.”
“The Golden Arhat Bell is a hidden quest from Shaolin Temple’s Arhat Hall. One of the segments requires the questee to go to Persia and stay there for a half a year. The process is very complicated and dangerous. I heard that this quest was once ranked at the most difficult Shaolin Temple quest, and now, it’s still one of the top three most difficult quests in World of Martial Arts.”
Happy looked surprised.
“Big Brother Wanderer, are you talking about the quest called Secret of Arhat Hall?”
“That’s right.” Wandering Know-it-all nodded and explained, “Secret of Arhat Hall refers to Golden Arhat Bell. I heard that someone completed it a few days ago. At that time, I made a reading about this, and I learned that the final reward for Secret of Arhat Hall is this martial arts manual.”
“I see.” Happy looked as if he had his questions answered.
Then, it would appear that Green Lit Wooden Fish was the one who completed Secret of Arhat Hall over this period of time.
Even if he learned that this was a blessing Green Lit Wooden Fish obtained over this period of time from Wandering Know-it-all, he still had a hint of unease in his heart.
However, Lin Xiao and Phantasmal Shadow were beside him, and there was no need for him to get into unnecessary trouble. Happy did not want Wandering Know-it-all to misunderstand him either, because that would mean that Wandering Know-it-all would just end up pushing a powerful player out of Lovely Land.
Happy immediately closed his eyes, and when he opened them, everything around him changed.
He was now in Mu Clan’s prison!
“You’re awake?” A familiar voice rose beside him.
He turned his head to look, and he saw that Xu Yao was staring at him from a spot not far away. She must have come to help out in the clan prison due to Xu Xin’s request.
“Where is Xu Xin?”
“It’s almost time to eat, so she’s cooking.” Xu Yao blinked and saw Happy bring out a messenger pigeon from his Universe Bag. She immediately notified the Myth Realm elites in the prison to stop attacking him.
After being acquainted for a period of time, the Xu Yao in this dimension had gradually gotten used to being together with Happy. She was no longer as reserved as she was before.
“Isn’t the Lovely Land tournament currently being held on the other side? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Is it not going smoothly?” Xu Yao braced her courage and asked.
Ever since he let go of the burden in his heart and had the misunderstandings cleared, Happy grew fond of this Xu Yao because she was related to the Xu Yao on the other side, and his attitude to her also changed. When he heard this, he answered unhesitatingly, “The tournament is going very smoothly, but someone strange showed up.”
“Someone strange?” Xu Yao reacted very quickly. “Is it related to the Wild Wolves?”
Happy was a little stunned. While he released the messenger pigeon, he nodded. “I don’t know the details yet, but I won’t cast aside that possibility.”
“Oh.” Xu Yao nodded in understanding. “So, you sent a letter to Master Wandering Know-it-all, hoping that he’ll investigate this person for you?”
Happy nodded again.
Xu Yao was now one of the upper management in Mu Clan. She was very sensitive toward many of the things in the Chinese plains.
“You haven’t been neglecting training, have you?”
“No. I have Myth Realm martial artists in prison to train with me. It’s better outside. My qi cultivation isn’t slow. Sometimes, when we run into quests, we’ll talk about it and take turns. We didn’t neglect our training and quests.”
“Okay.” Happy nodded and shut his eyes a little.
When she saw this, Xu Yao showed great sense by keeping quiet, and she ordered the Myth Realm prisoners to continue attacking Happy.
When he opened his eyes again, Happy had already returned to the side of the tournament area.
The brief dimensional change did not bring him any sort of discomfort. Happy just looked up to look at the tower.
After Whirlwind Young Li lost and died, Wind Void and Orochimaru did not immediately attack the weakened Green Lit Wooden Fish.
The strength he displayed had intimidated the two of them. All of them did not know whether he had the strength to execute that attack again. They were wary, and because of it, there was a period of peace between the three, and no one dared to take any action.
This period of time gave Green Lit Wooden Fish a precious chance to restore the qi he spent.
Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, Ji Feng, and the rest on the stage for the hosts did not notice the abnormality in Happy. They thought that he was thinking about something, and they never bothered him.
When he saw this, Happy shut his eyes again calmly.
A snow-white pigeon flapped its wings in the narrow cell. It wanted to land, but it was wary of the vicious wind around it.
“Stop!”
Happy waved his hand in dismissal and reached out to grab the messenger pigeon.
Wandering Know-it-all’s reply had already arrived!
He opened it and took a look, and Happy’s frown slowly disappeared.
Green Lit Wooden Fish never left Persia even if Class One Hall experienced a destructive blow and Wild Wolves stood facing an unprecedented wall.
‘Was I wrong?’
Happy sighed in relief.
The news from Wandering Know-it-all made it clear that at the very least, Green Lit Wooden Fish showed no sign of having any sort of connection with the people from the two organizations.
After he had this worry solved, Happy sighed in relief, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Since the suspicions about Green Lit Wooden Fish’s status was clear, this meant that Lovely Land had managed to recruit a powerful player whose strength was above supreme-class elites. Lovely Land had gained another person who could fight independently and could even fight against Evil Emperor in the future.
This was good news to Happy!
“Continue.”
Happy shut his eyes again.
Xu Yao watched quietly as he went back and forth between dimensions, but she never said anything. Once she was certain that he had left, she mumbled strangely in spite of herself. “I wonder how my other self is right now…”
When his mind returned to the tournament area, Happy’s doubts were cleared, and as he stared at the three supreme-class elites on the top of the tower, his eyes burned intensely.
Wind Void, Orochimaru, Green Lit Wooden Fish, Whirlwind Young Li were people who would become the first batch of elders in Lovely Land who would serve to protect it.
Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, Thunder, Howling Moon, Thunderous Battle, Phoenix Dances, Little North, and the rest could turn into their successors.
If he had the one thousand five hundred supreme class elites who had shown their strength before the real tournament lead the two million other members in Lovely Land, Lovely Land’s strength would become even more fortified, and they would sit firmly in the throne of the strongest sect in the Chinese serve. No one would raise a protest against it.
‘Evil Emperor…’ When he thought about the future, Happy could not help but smile. ‘My Imperial Army has taken shape. You best be prepared for my attacks!’
Evil Emperor was doing his final charge for the Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, but Lovely Land was also improving fast. The Imperial Army had already taken shape, and even if they wanted to stage a comeback and return to the Chinese server, it was practically impossible. Next, Lovely Land would be taking the initiative to attack.
Happy’s thoughts raced.
Now that all of his suspicions were gone, he began planning his strategy to enter West Region.
Lovely Land had four powerful fighters who could serve as their guards, so he could personally go to West Region and work together with One Emperor and the Imperial Army to fight against the Wild Wolves. Now, the time was right!
Just as he thought about the details in his plan to fight against the Wild Wolves, suddenly, a faint private message traveled into his ears.
“Sect Master!”
“Hmm?” Sect Master was slightly stunned.
He spread his spirit sense to a circular area of 325 feet, and soon, he found the person who sent the private message to him.
It was Whirlwind Young Li, the one who lost and died in the tournament.
“Young Li, you did well on the tower just now. If nothing happens, you will definitely be among those who will be declared to have performed in the tournament,” Happy discreetly moved his lips and sent a private message quietly.
“Thank you for favoring me, Sect Master, but I have something I wish to report to you!” Whirlwind Young Li sounded a little nervous and uneasy.
“What?” Happy was stunned again.
“Honestly, I don’t know whether I should say this, but I feel that there is something wrong with Green Lit Wooden Fish.” When Whirlwind Young Li said these words, there was something different about his expression.
Others would not be able to decipher anything from his expression, but through Happy’s spirit sense, he could clearly tell just how hesitant and conflicted Whirlwind Young Li felt.
He unfurled his fists, then clenched them, and repeated the motion…
“What do you mean?”
Happy’s expression turned dark, and he asked with a slight frown.
