Chapter 959: The Prophet Wrote a Letter Over

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The matter that happened at the entrance of Ghost’s Domain attracted countless people’s attention—regardless of whether they were people in the real world’s forums or in the game—because a certain group of mysterious people’s interference and incitement. It also stirred a lot of people’s hearts. After all, Happy had destroyed a Class One Hall high-end training group with all its members at the peak of Moksha Realm, and he did so while he was injured and had just entered Moksha Realm.

This news caused a mighty uproar in World of Martial Arts. It also placed Happy under an even brighter spotlight, even though he had been at the center of the storm all this while.

Many people would choose to continue paying attention to Happy’s condition at the first moment they entered the game. They would also pay attention as to whether there would be any news on the forum about Blood Alliance and Class One Hall fighting against Happy.

However, over the next few days, no news around this topic appeared anymore.

Some of the observant people in the game could already vaguely guess Dream Clouds’ decisions

Dream Clouds had clearly noticed that many people were waiting for Happy’s forceful rise to power once more and clash against Class One Hall, which was why she decided to not do anything for the time being while waiting for the surging round of public opinions to come to a stop, because this giant knew very clearly that she will not gain a lot of benefits fighting against Happy right now. Instead, Happy might even stir up pity from a lot of people, and the incident from one year ago would happen again! Hence, she continued suppressing the people under her and stopped them from looking for Happy on their own while she waited for this matter to cool down.

In forty-eight hours, incidents of various degrees of intensity happened constantly in the Chinese server.

Many people waited for the strife between Happy and Class One Hall to continue exacerbating, and during that process, they noticed a piece of information. Their interest was also diminished bit by bit because of it—Happy just stayed in Ghost’s Domain to grind, he did not go anywhere.

At that moment, a number of people managed to guess that Happy should be focusing on stabilizing his qi realm, and Class One Hall did not seem to have the intention of fighting against Happy.

*****

During the few peaceful days, Happy went through his fifth night in Ghost’s Domain. He trained day and night, and not only did he manage to level up Illusory Cave Steps to the tenth realm, his Great Demonic World Destruction Art also leveled up to the ninth realm, which was a very shocking fact on its own, because any other person training with a Moksha Realm martial art will need a whole month before they could reach that realm.

Also, since that Grieving Needle was still in his heart, his Tendon Changing Classic just continued leveling up nonstop, and it had already surpassed his other self. It had reached the peak of the eighth realm, and soon, it would reach the ninth realm.

His Moksha Realm body fortification technique, Indestructible Body, became his slowest martial art in terms of leveling up. As of current, it had only reached the middle stage of the seventh realm, and it was at Lvl 66.42.

However, the basic defense in his Moksha Realm body fortification was already more than five thousand six hundred points, and it was one thousand and eight hundred points more than Arhat Body.

But that was not all.

Since all four of his martial arts were improving quickly, the qi they brought to him could not be imagined.

The first was Tendon Changing Classic.

Since it was a supreme classic from Shaolin Temple that could widen his meridian system and greatly strengthen his qi as well as his attributes, it had brought him more than forty-five qi points.

The realm for Illusory Cave Steps was the highest, and it was also the hardest to train. It brought him nearly fifty-four qi points.

Since Great Demonic World Destruction Art was a martial art manual, it could not compare to a body fortification or lightness skill in terms of generating qi points for him, but since unique techniques had shocking damage, it was stronger than the usual Moksha Realm martial art, and it brought him forty-seven qi points.

Indestructible Body gave him the least qi points, but still, it gave him thirty-nine qi points.

Right now, Happy’s qi was very near the eight hundred mark. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was improving by leaps and bounds.

The four martial arts also brought to him a change in his attributes.

[Player: Happy

[AFF: 348, AST: 319, BMM: 306, CPH: 337]

All four of his attributes had surpassed the three hundred mark, and his attributes as well as his qi had even surpassed his other self.

However, his equipment, weapons, and ultimate techniques could not be compared to his other self at all.

Happy did not have a lot of requirements for his equipment. The poison sacs and wings he gathered from Demonic Venomous Larva over the past few days numbered to forty, and their value was at eight hundred million taels of silver. Along with the money he already had, that meant that he had more than one billion. While it was impossible for him to get a set of fourth-echelon demon vessels, he would have more than enough to buy a set of third-echelon demon vessels.

As for weapons, Happy already had Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

Even though the requirements to use this weapon was incredibly high—he needed a total of four hundred Affinity and Arm Strength, and even the requirements for Body Movement was at a ridiculous three hundred points—with Tendon Changing Classic, that was no longer a problem. As of current, his Body Movement had already reached the requirements. His Affinity was still fifty-two points away from the target, and his Arm Strength was eighty-one points away. The distance between his current points and the target was rather large, but to Happy, it was a goal he could achieve.

During the later stages, every time Tendon Changing Classic increased by one realm, it would increase five points for all four of his attributes. Once his Great Demonic World Destruction Art reached Grandmaster Realm, he could also get an increase in Arm Strength and Affinity. If he practiced a few more martial arts, he could fulfill the requirements.

The only problem was still in ultimate techniques.

Using normal martial arts to fight against ultimate techniques was incredibly hard, and with the difference of one entire qi realm as well equipment between him and his opponents, it would be even more difficult.

Happy had already made preparations. This time, once Great Demonic World Destruction Art reached Grandmaster Realm, he would immediately leave Ghost’s Domain and search for Duan Yu as well as Wang Yuyan.

Even though he might not necessarily obtain Six Pulses Divine Sword, Sun Finger, Wave-like Subtle Steps, Northern Obscure Divine Skill, or other ultimate techniques of a similar degree, Wang Wuyan had read through all the martial art manuals in the world, and he might be able to get the Beggar’s Sect or Murong Clan’s ultimate techniques.

When he thought about how his other self had Shifting Stars, Joined Finger, and Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Happy’s heart instantly started burning with passion.

*****

During the afternoon, Happy ate twice, just as usual.

His progress in the other world was pretty good. When Happy entered the game, he intended to continue being in AFK while he trained Indestructible Body and Tendon Changing Classic, but at that moment, he suddenly noticed a messenger pigeon on his shoulder.

“Hmm?” Happy was stunned.

Over this period of time, he worked with Wandering Know-it-all and Wei Zhentian as well as cooperated with Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, and Wind and Rain Alliance to continuously destroy dozens of core members from Wild Wolves. They slaughtered them until they could only hang on their last breaths in the city. In fact, many of the foreign forces of power they originally controlled took up arms and started fighting back, and for a period of time, they nearly crippled those from Wild Wolves.

However, that letter actually came from the Prophet, the ambitious man who stood behind Wild Wolves.

“I’d like to see what sort of tricks you want to play.”

He took down the letter and opened it, and Happy’s face slowly changed. After a long time, he spat out a name with a dark tone, “...Carlson.”

The Prophet’s tone in the letter was of incredible anger. He stated that he had already made clear deductions and figured out that the masterminds behind why Wild Wolves had been persecuted so viciously until they were in such a miserable state was Happy and Wandering Know-it-all.

The Prophet said that since Mu Clan was prepared to go to war, he would not hold back and fight against Mu Clan. In fact, he would work with Wild Wolves to destroy Mu Clan, and he told Happy that he was to be prepared.

Happy said nothing.

He just burnt the Prophet’s threat to a crisp.

His face was rather grave.

“Looks like I’ve underestimated him.”

He originally thought that the Prophet was just a card Evil Emperor and Wild Wolves controlled. He did not expect that the Prophet’s rank would seem to be so high.

This person was incredibly powerful, and yet, he never showed any sign of appearing in the other world. He just served Wild Wolves in the dark, and Happy could already imagine just how much this person could tolerate being in the dark.

Besides, the Prophet had managed to deduce that all this was related to Happy, and he was the one who instigated everything. The Prophet was indeed good.

It had to be known that over the past few days, he just trained in the branch prison and did not even go out aside from releasing or receiving messenger pigeons.

When Silver Wolf took action to search for Wild Wolves, he also worked with the people from the four top-class sects.

Also, the information from Wild Wolves came from his original world.

‘He’s a resolute person.’

Happy chuckled softly and thought. ‘But you’re too naive in fighting against me. No matter how strong your crystal ball is, it’s still a function in the game. Can you deduce that I can obtain detailed information about you from the other world? Would you know that I’m not taking any action against Evil Emperor right now because I’m waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow against Wild Wolves?’

*****

At the other side of the ocean was a quiet chamber. There was a person covered in a black cloak over there, and even his face was hidden under the shadows cast by his cloak when the wind blew against him. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the crystal ball located at the center of a brocade handkerchief.

There was an incredibly blurry image in the crystal ball, and it seemed to be shrouded by some sort of haze, but after a few minutes, the image inside gradually turned clear to show a handsome young man with black hair, black eyes, and the yellow skin tone typical for Asians.

The handsome young man held a letter in his hands, and he had a scowl on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.

After a few seconds, the letter was burnt to a crisp in the handsome young man’s hands. The young man then continued walking into the center of the prison he used to train without hesitation.

Ten Inaction Realm prisoners appeared around him.

“Hmm?”

A faint and surprised gasp rose in the quiet chamber.

“They all say that the Chinese are prideful and arrogant. They’re indeed very annoying.”

The person was the famous Prophet in the world—Carlson.

“He actually has no reaction whatsoever to my letter...? Should I say that you’re too confident, or too slow in the head?

“Hmph! Do you think that you’re the strongest in the world just because you defeated a stupid woman, Wei Zhentian, and a few nobodies on my rank? Are you ignoring even my words when I’m the Prophet?

“I wouldn’t let the best from Wild Wolves appear on the International Influential Rank of the Strong. One of these days, I will let you know that the people on the ranking board are all just prey for us Wild Wolves.

“Happy, Wei Zhentian, you’ll soon prostrate yourselves below my feet, and you will become slaves for Wild Wolves!”

He pushed off his hood, and the Prophet got up in anger and put away his crystal ball before he left the quiet chamber.

*****

Just when the Prophet was enraged by Happy’s lack of action, Happy had already returned to his other self and began calculating things quietly in the physiotherapy room in the hospital.

‘Based on Wandering Know-it-all’s deductions, the Prophet’s divination skills should be similar to fortune telling and tracking skills in the west. Since he knows that the people fighting against Wild Wolves is me, my other self should be under close monitoring right now, but this is good as well. Let him be trapped in an endless cycle of deductions.

‘The only problem is this side. The Prophet has never appeared, and Wild Wolves is already ridiculously strong. Their core of strength is already much stronger than Class One Hall, and Evil Emperor is seriously...’

When he thought of this, Happy could not help but lamented. He was truly still too weak in this world.
