Chapter 549: The Lucky Vast Heaven

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One Emperor ended his next two rounds just as fast. With just two slashes, he managed to heavily injure both his opponents and reduce them to bloody pieces. They had to be taken down the stage to be treated, and countless people watched him with respect, wariness, and complicated gazes as he walked down the stage.

He won three consecutive rounds, and he did so with ease, giving off a calm and domineering air!

Even Happy camse to see a killing intent and confidence that said that there was no one else in the world except for him who could do it.

One Emperor was still the same One Emperor as in Happy’s previous life!

The only difference was that the One Emperor in this life seemed to be flashier and more confident, and he was also a lot more proactive than before!

“Is that guy still human?”

Even Silver Wolf could not help but laugh wanly. It seemed like One Emperor had actually held back a little during their fight, which was the most shocking thing of all

Happy did not answer, but instead recalled the shocking sword slash just then.

It had triggered far too many memories of his past life, and he felt as if he had instantly returned to those days. All sorts of information about that sword slash returned to his mind.

When compared to the sword technique seen through Silver Wolf’s eyes, One Emperor just now was much stronger and fiercer.

When he drew his sword to kill, it was a habitual move, which was always at the tip of his fingers and could easily defeat his enemies. He seemed to have practiced it thousands of times, but there was something else mixed into the sword technique. It allowed it to come alive, and it made everyone feel a chill right down to their bones.

‘Just why is that?’ Happy scowled as his mind raced.

Just what was it that allowed One Emperor’s sword technique to become faster than before?

As a veteran of the game, Happy did not believe that One Emperor held back when he fought against Silver Wolf. A swordsman could only continuously improve to become faster and stronger, and they would never preserve their strength, for it would bring no benefits in regards to them growing stronger. Having no other thoughts when attacking with the sword was the only way to display the might of one’s sword will.

However, the day before, One Emperor’s sword technique was still the same as it was before. Then why did it give off a feeling that it was faster and more powerful now? During this period of time, One Emperor did not go outside and just stayed in Hero’s Mountain Villa.

It was impossible for him to have improved just by watching the fights.

Happy looked at the area around One Emperor, and his gaze suddenly fixed on the spot behind him. There was a worn-out swordsman sitting on the mat while leaning against a shed, and while his clothes were wrinkled and tight, his gaze was like a sword. His face was also very clean and handsome. Each of his moves gave others a very unique feeling.

His lips moved as if he was talking to someone.

Many of the people near the worn-out swordsman paid attention to One Emperor, who had his eyes slightly shut. His thoughts were hard to judge, but his face was turned to the side, in a posture that suggested that he was listening to someone, but it was not one that others would notice easily.

It was a secret message!

When Happy saw that, he -felt like he had received his answer.

‘I see! Looks like I’m not the only person who received a quest in Hero’s Mountain Villa and is required to complete it here.’

*****

After One Emperor went on stage, a strange atmosphere appeared around Dragon Tiger Arena.

Not only were the players now reluctant to get on the stage, even many of the normal martial artists began to regard the nameless and young hero in another light.

A few hours passed.

As the sect leaders from various sects continued to get up the stage and fight against each other, the time they spent fighting became incredibly long, and a chilling atmosphere swiftly filled the arena. The people who had originally decided to watch by the sidelines panicked!

It was only then that they came to a swift realization that the martial arts tournament was really just part of the plot. As time passed and the end of the tournament drew near, the people who would go up the stage might no longer be normal Inaction Realm martial artists, but those at the peak of Inaction Realm. In fact, they might even be people who had already surpassed Inaction Realm!

Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows had very dark expressions.

They had been too preoccupied with the possibility of the four people from Mu Clan taking their second turn. They did not wish to become the target of their second challenge, which was why they continued dragging out the fight.

By the looks of it now, they had made a stupid move, even if they initially thought that it was good. They did not expect that the martial arts tournament would come to its end so soon.

“We’ll give up,” Dream Clouds said resolutely. “There isn’t much time left. Right now, we’re not the only ones who will challenge the arena. The people from Mu Clan, Lu Mingyue, and One Emperor will definitely seize the time to engage in the second round of duels to fight for the spots in the top three and top ten.

“If we attack now, we will only be giving a chance to Mu Clan. Our hopes of getting into the top three aren’t great, and the rewards for the top ten aren’t good anyhow, so it’s best that we give up.”

Aside from Zhou Yu, who hesitated a little, Monk with Thick Eyebrows and Blood Robes nodded. The resolution of professional gamers who could make swift decisions was seen very clearly at that moment.

“What’s with the situation now? Abbot Kong Xiang of Shaolin Temple is defending the stage to the east, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Sect is guarding the south, Zhang Wuji of Ming Cult is guarding the north, and Zhou Zhiruo of Emei Sect is guarding the east. By the looks of it, Zhou Zhiruo seems to be the slightly weaker one. Ahem, oh well, forget I said that.”

Little North analyzed the situation, but just when he was about to persuade the people to fight for a breakthrough from the east, he turned his head around and noticed Happy’s gaze, and he instantly looked diffident. He coughed and swallowed his words.

Happy shook his head in resignation and explained. “If you want to challenge Zhou Zhiruo, then I suggest that you give up and choose the abbot from Shaolin Temple as your opponent. Zhou Zhiruo practices Nine Yin Manual. She might have just acquired it, but she mastered it quickly, and her strength is much higher than that of Xie Xun, while Kong Xiang is at most at the same level as Xie Xun.”

He stopped talking for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned incredibly solemn. “The way I see it, you can give up on Zhang Sanfeng, and you can also give up on Zhang Wuji. You have to choose between Zhou Zhiruo and Master Kong Xiang, and it’ll be easier to deal with Master Kong Xiang. He has weaknesses in both strength and personality.”

The group said nothing.

Even though Happy sounded very logical, the reputation of the abbot of Shaolin Temple was a thing. Little North and Momo found it very troublesome, and they did not dare to go into the fray.

When Vast Heaven saw the change around Dragon Tiger Arena, he, who had already lost pathetically, suddenly laughed madly from the spectator seat.

“Haha! HAHAHAHA! Look at you all dragging this out! Serves you right! I’ll see how you can compete against me! I’m the only one with FOUR points! I’d like to see how you can steal the seat of the strongest from me! HAHAHAHA!” All the dejectedness he previously had was now gone, and his conceitedness came to the forefront.

No one at the foot of the stage rebuked Vast Heaven.

“Noisy.”

At that moment, a cold voice came from a remote corner. One Emperor walked to the stage from his corner below the stage under the countless gazes from the people in the arena and the netizens watching the livestream.

He looked at the crowd with his back turned toward Vast Heaven, who had shut up abruptly. His voice was cold as it rang through the entire arena. “I won’t ever be content with being ranked below someone who has no skill like you… We’ll win two rounds first, then we’ll fight!”

Right after he finished speaking, a clear and confident response came from the Murong Clan’s side. “Haha! Alright!”

A golden figure flew gracefully and landed on another stage on the other side of Dragon Tiger Arena.
