Sword Among Us Chapter 963 - Top Ten Battle Replay!

Chapter 963: Top Ten Battle Replay!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On that night, more than four hundred and ten out of five hundred Blood Alliance members died, and that included a Blood Alliance hall chief, Blood Jade Fan and three elites from the elder hall. All these people died in Ghost’s Domain.
Once this news spread out, World of Martial Arts was shocked, and the Chinese server was in a ruckus.
At the very beginning, they tried to test Happy’s strength, and Happy managed to make more than twenty normal Moksha Realm members from Blood Alliance back away from fighting him. Later on, he gained a small degree of fame from killing Fu Tianqiong outside Beijing. After that, he rushed to the entrance of Ghost’s Domain and destroyed all the members in a high-end training group from Class One Hall, allowing him to rise to fame. Now, he chased after Blood Alliance members and spilled their blood over a large stretch of ground as well as killed three elders from Blood Alliance. This act was enough to shock the game.
Immediately after, a battle replay with Happy’s first person view entered the official developer’s pay-to-view system, and within a short period of time, this battle replay reached the top ten trending replays in World of Martial Arts.
Over the past five years, getting a spot among the top ten in the pay-to-view battle replay ranking board was already considered an incredibly difficult road.
All those who managed to get their battle replay to the top ten would definitely become true billionaires, and that was a fact.
Even giants like Dream Clouds and Blood Robes never enjoyed this treatment, but Happy’s battle replay managed to reach the top ten within a short period of time.
One of the reasons was because Happy’s story had indeed stirred up many Chinese players’ hearts.
In fact, many of the powerful players outside the country had once paid attention to this strong elite who once entered the top sixteen in the world.
The other selling point in the battle replay was that Happy’s life as a comatose person for nearly one and a half years before he reentered the game was like a work of fiction, and it stirred up plenty of people’s attention as well as pity.
It had been one and a half years since he quit the game, and when Happy reentered the game, he used his skills from one and a half years ago to tell the world of his strength. He used his enemy’s blood to enter the world stage step by step, and the crown of a top-class elite was placed on his head once more.
In this battle replay, Blood Alliance lost hundreds of people. Three top-class elites died in one person’s hands, and this also made many players curious, especially those who understood the terrible conditions in Ghost’s Domain. They practically could not believe how the battle at night could have happened. They also wondered about Happy’s martial arts and ultimate techniques. Hence, his first person point of view became incredibly valuable and mysterious.
The dark and complicated are, the mysterious and dangerous fight, the continuously changing and practically nonexistent field of vision, shocking battle understanding, and the feeling of riding a roller coaster in such a horrible condition displayed in the battle replay made it hard for the players to understand what happened inside. Because of it, they sang praises about how amazing the fight was, and it attracted even more players who longed for actual combat skills and strength to idolize the battle replay.
It was because of all these elements that the official developers took the initiative to make an advertisement for it, and in one go, the battle replay was accepted and bought by more than one hundred million players, and it was ranked straight among the top ten.
The powerful strength Happy displayed physically and mentally caused many people to be incredibly shocked. It was as if they saw a giant reentering the world of martial artists, and it was slowly revealing its power and its sharp teeth!
The Happy in the past was just slightly powerful and had fighting talent that was slightly above top-class players. He was famous for his diligence.
But now, he had an ultimate technique, his skills were as great as ever, and he was rich. The new Happy had already gained everything that many people could only dream of getting.
A large number of people started guessing that Happy’s next move should be to counterattack and take revenge.
Now that he had a lot of resources and riches, there was no reason for him to let his enemies live a peaceful and carefree life.

“This Happy… He actually managed to do this? It’s no wonder why he didn’t bother about Wind Assault Tower’s invitation. He does seem to have his own plans.”
“He’s too good!”
“Bis Sis Shadow, it’ll be great if we can drag him into Wind Assault Tower. We might be able to use him to fight against those Wild Wolves.”
“That’s right!”
“He’s so powerful, but his equipment is just… meh. With Wind Assault Tower supporting him and providing him with resources, those from Wild Wolves won’t dare to be so conceited.”
When a group of ladies trained in Ghost’s Domain, they chatted nonstop. Then, all their gazes were fixed on Tower Master Phantasmal Shadow.
“Yeah, his actions have already exceeded what I originally thought of.”
Phantasmal Shadow’s face was still hidden under a thin veil. Her voice was pleasant and charming. “But what surprised me the most isn’t that he gained the support of the official developers and not because he killed hundreds of Blood Alliance members.”
“Hmm?”
“It has been less than a week since he entered Moksha Realm, but his sword technique and lightness skill is already pretty extraordinary, and his body fortification is also pretty decent now. Within one week, no one can do what he can. I believe that Blood Robes and Dream Clouds are already wary of him now. This Happy has too many secrets hidden on him. He might have already had them since one and a half years ago. From now on, Happy won’t have an easy time in the game…” Phantasmal Shadow could not help but lament.
“Could it be that he continuously engaged himself in Class S battles?”
“It might be.”
“But there aren’t many monsters in Ghost’s Domain that can be challenged by those in Moksha Realm. Aside from Wind and Fire Spirit Wolf, Hanba, and Wood Fairy, he will have trouble breaking the defense for all the other creatures.”
“Don’t forget, there’s still Demonic Venomous Larva.”
“Forget about that thing. It’s noisy as heck. When I run into it, I just feel like my head is about to burst. Aside from Tower Master Shadow, who among you would dare to fight against it?”
When she listened to her friends’ discussions, a spark shone in Phantasmal Shadow’s eyes.
*****
Just like Phantasmal Shadow, the Three Lonely Wolves were also excited by Happy’s forceful rise to power.
The three of them had been contacting people in secret over the past few days, and among the list of people they contacted were the former members of Beautiful Robes Faction—Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and others.
When the matter at Ghost’s Domain erupted, the three of them were shocked, but at the same time, they were so excited that they nearly hugged each other.
“That boy sure has some skills.”
“He has always been more diligent than us even when we were studying, and he’s also much more successful when he’s trying to hit on a girl. I already said that it’s impossible for him to be continuously toyed around by someone. Heh, this time, his chance has arrived.”
“Contact Phoenix Dances again! I refuse to believe that she doesn’t want to rebuild Beautiful Robes Faction after it was destroyed in the past. She’ll want to gather all our friends together once more.”
“When are we contacting Happy?” Chen Fan suddenly asked.
Bai Lang and Qi Ci froze a little before they said hesitantly, “Let’s wait for a little while longer.”
“Right now, Happy needs to continue building his foundation. At that time, we’ll ask him whether he has any thoughts of returning to Beautiful Robes Faction.”
“That’s right. I believe he already knows all that we’ve done for him in the past, but it’s not convenient for him to come to us right now. Once we’re prepared as well, all four wolves will gather together, and we’ll destroy Blood Alliance and Class One Hall!”
When they watched Happy’s battle replay, the trio seemed to have returned to their student days and regained their former passion and boldness.
“But I don’t know what we should do next. Dream Clouds and Blood Robes will definitely not let him continue training so peacefully like this and grow to a point where he can threaten and shake their foundation.”
“It’s fine.”
“Right now, Happy is already a billionaire, he won’t have any trouble in taking Illusion Life and Death Pills like candy. As for Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, they can’t afford that waste. The three elders from Blood Alliance are all top-class elites. Blood Alliance and Class One Hall can’t produce so many elites of their caliber either, so they cannot afford to sacrifice them.”
“Young White is right. Happy absolutely does not need us to worry about him. We just need to concentrate on our stuff and let Blood Alliance as well as Class One Hall continue causing grief for themselves.”

“Master.” Qiu Ming and Young Yi appeared side by side in the room. Based on their excited expressions and voices, anyone can tell that they were currently rather excited.
Finding himself a little speechless, Happy put down his laptop and said, “What are you doing here now? Don’t you know that patients need rest?”
“Then should we come over here during the afternoon instead?”
The duo obediently put down whatever they had in hand.
Happy found himself with a headache. “I truly can’t win over you two, can I?”
These two would bring fruits and supplements once every few days into the room, and they managed to bring even Xu Yao to their side. When they visited, she would play solitaire on her own by the side, as if she could not see them and whatever they did had nothing to do with him.
“Didn’t I tell you last time to go and train on your own, challenge those stronger than you are, and learn through the battle? Why are you here again?”
When he heard this, Qiu Ming looked a little regretful. “I did, but the people on the Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank are too powerful. I can’t even get close to the elites beside them, and I’ve already been killed twice.”
“…What’s going on?” Happy frowned.
Young Qi rolled her eyes at Qiu Ming at that moment and explained. “When this idiot heard you say that he was to learn from actual combat, he immediately went to challenge the elites on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks. He didn’t even think about how all the elites on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks are all sect masters right now. They have plenty of elites by their side, and because of it, he was defeated and chased out. Some of them are rather fierce, and they did not spare him.”
Qiu Ming fell silent. He hung his head in regret.
Happy found himself rendered speechless. ‘He actually went to cause trouble to sect masters of all people? Not all of them are kind…’
“Do you know what it means to proceed step by step?”
“Yeah, I know. Next time, I’ll search for someone who is about the same level as I am.” Qiu Ming quickly nodded.
“That’s right. Dying once or twice isn’t a bad thing. Right now, I’m still in the injured status. But when I train, it allows me to train even faster than usual. Right now, what you need to do is to build your foundation and choose a path suitable for you.” Happy did not want this idiot to continue being obstinate, so he decided to go into slightly more detail and give him a clearer path. “Speed, strength, technique. You have to see which one you prefer and use your head a little more.”
He went about at great length about this, but he did not know whether any of his words entered Qiu Ming’s stubborn head. It was only then that he sent the person away.
“You’re still as soft as ever.”
“What choice do I have? You refuse to help me chase them away. Do you want me to fight against him while supporting myself with a cane?” When he heard Xu Yao’s words, Happy laughed, feeling a little resigned. Then, he suddenly stopped talking, and as if he figured out that there was something else behind Xu Yao’s words. “Wait… what do you mean?”
Xu Yao put down the cards in her hands and stared at him. “I thought that after you’re betrayed once, you would become wary and a little more paranoid after you wake up, or that you would steel your heart.”
“Then, you’d search for an excuse and use this excuse to leave me?” Happy smiled in anguish.
Xu Yao did not expect that Happy would pinpoint what she was thinking. She opened her mouth, but she could not say anything.
She had indeed thought about how it was possible for Happy to have his personality largely change after he woke up, and then, once she made up for her mistake, she could leave Happy and the city with peace in mind.
But she did not expect that Happy will react to the situation so quickly and voice her thoughts.
