Chapter 715 - Cannot Spoil Her

Chapter 715: Cannot Spoil Her

Even though the battle at the port outside Yangzhou was not as breathtaking as the fight between Happy and One Emperor, due to the loot from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse being the goal, the elite heavy cavalier unit that showed itself for the first time and the deaths of thousands of martial artists still caused a huge ruckus in World of Martial Arts!

Aside from paying close attention to the person who finally obtained the loot, the battle between the two unknown men in black was also a hot topic on the net.

[Figuring out the identity of the people involved in the battle between men in black!]

The men in black’s identities stirred up the curiosity of great martial artists and players.

After all, the skills of the two had already reached a degree where the people could only sigh as they watched them. It was especially so for the mysterious man in black when he arrived in the area and used his extremely ingenious method to handle the elite heavy cavaliers.

Over the next few days, the battle replay was seen by a lot of people. There were even many posts left behind in foreign languages from a lot of countries.

Many people were very curious about the mysterious masked man in black’s true identity.

They were also very curious about the identity of the man in black who was dressed in the same way as the mysterious man in black. The internet was filled with speculations.

There were even people who wondered whether that person was the strongest player, Happy, based on the information the man in black revealed about himself entering the game. However, this guess was roasted by countless people, just like every other post.

[The swift formation of a top-class elite in three months. The mysterious man in black revealed some information during their conversation. Apparently, he knows martial arts in real life.]

The conversation between the men in black also became the focus of many players.

Everyone knew that the number of new players joining the game was still increasing, and the story that the game continuously released attracted a lot of martial artists and those who loved martial arts.

But there were advantages and disadvantages to those people joining the game.

It could be said that the later anyone joined the game, the greater their innate disadvantage was. It made it very difficult for them to catch up to those at the top.

But there were also people who said that those who joined the game later had to suffer less because of various experiences from the former players. In the past, the players needed half a year to enter Life and Death Realm, and now, they only needed three months.

Besides, more people began paying attention to the nature of Life and Death Realm martial arts complementing or counterring each other. Hence, the new players could pay attention to only one or two martial arts based on the information online. They could catch up soon to the other players who joined the game earlier and avoid a lot of setbacks, which was why it was easier for them to become famous.

Of course, many people still could not verify the fact that the mysterious man in black knew martial arts.

Once the people talked about it, they forgot it entirely.

However, the appearance of the mysterious man in black still stirred up quite a fervent trend of practicing martial arts among the players who recently joined the game. It also caused many people to reevaluate the people on Dragon and Phoenix Ranks.

[Let’s talk about the standards of those at the top of Dragon Rank!]

The battle replay showed the failure of the elites of Class One Hall and Towering Palace when fighting against the elite heavy cavalry unit, along with their loss in front of the mysterious man in black. It caused many people to inevitably think once more.

‘Just what constitutes a real elite?’

‘Just how far away are the brilliant and powerful players on Dragon and Phoenix Rank from us?’

‘Are ultimate techniques really invincible to the point that normal martial arts cannot hope to compare to them?’

Such topics collected more than ten million comments on the internet. There were many people who debated various theories over the night in regards to the difference between ultimate techniques and normal high-tier martial arts.

In the end, they gradually came to one opinion: Ultimate techniques did indeed have some ingenious moves, but as the players’ qi realm increased and the profound secrets of high-tier martial arts improved, they got closer to the strength of ultimate techniques.

As long as the players could bring out the essence of high-tier martial arts and accumulate enough battle experience, every single person had the chance of becoming someone powerful! They had the possibility of dragging down the elites on Dragon and Phoenix Ranks.

Hence, a thread named [If we can use normal high-tier martial arts well, ultimate techniques can just stand to the side!] showed up.

The author brought a few fresh examples in the thread.

The man in black was naturally among them.

Heaven’s Leg Breaker could only be considered a normal, speed-based Life and Death Realm high-tier martial art.

Even though its value increased by leaps and bounds after the fight, compared to Grim Green, Vast Heaven, Blood Robes, and the others who had ultimate techniques, their Nine Solitary Swords, Six Pulses Divine Sword, and Star Sucking Great Skill seemed to have only occupied the top spots of Dragon Rank because of their fame.

Heaven’s Leg Breaker was not as profound as Nine Solitary Swords, its momentum could not be compared to the dazzling Six Pulses Divine Sword, and it was not as bizarre as Star Sucking Great Skill.

However, all of them could do nothing about the mysterious man in black.

From this, it could be seen that the understanding of martial arts, the judgment and control over the battle was what a true martial artist should have. It was not logical to just chase after martial arts that ranked at the top.

While Happy was leisurely eating and resting, he paid attention to the threads on the net. He ignored things that he already knew, but focused on who obtained the treasure chests on the four boats after he left.

With the responsibility of Mu Clan on his back, Happy felt that he had become much more attentive and smarter. His attention went to the remaining sixty-four treasure chests and sixty-four demon vessels. If it were not because the quest had told him not to reveal himself, he would have made a plan and not allowed a single chest to leave his hands.

When he thought about it, he was rather regretful.

The sixty-four demon vessels had slipped away from his grasp into someone else’s hands, and if it landed in Class One Hall or Towering Palace’s hands, they would become a great threat to Mu Clan.

That many demon vessels was enough to cultivate and elevate the skills of a group of elites and bring them to another level.

But based on the information spreading on the internet, it seemed like a rather complicated chaotic battle had erupted after he left. Someone used smoke bombs bought in a sundry shop on a massive scale and threw the entire port into chaos. It turned into a great mess. The people from various factions tried to profit from the chaos, and they disregarded the warnings of Class One Hall and Towering Palace.

The man in black was in an even worse situation.

His strength was unfathomable and intimidated a lot of elites on Dragon and Phoenix Ranks, but even he could not control the chaotic situation. In the end, he seized a transportation boat with brute strength and murdered his way out from the port.

The three remaining ships were sunk in the chaotic battle, and no one knew just who took the treasure chests.

Perhaps every faction of power had managed to get some!

Because of that, Class One Hall could be said to have suffered the greatest in the battle.

They lost nearly half of their one thousand elites, but they only obtained a few treasure chests. The disparity in the effort and the rewards they gained was very great. Happy could already predict just how pale Dream Clouds’ lips were and how red her face was due to rage. She had to have looked really pathetic.

Towering Palace might be the local lord, so their rewards would be much greater than any other faction of power, but the battle should have made their relationship with many other sects tense.

At the end of the day, the ones who benefited the greatest were the two men in black who did not show their identities.

RIIIINGG!!

The phone rang, and Happy picked it from the table.

“Are you done with the matter?”

“I’m done with it.” Silver Wolf’s voice came from the other end. “But the woman searched for other influential people to help her persuade you. Even Thunderous Battle received a messenger pigeon asking for help.”

Happy picked at a bowl of white porridge as if he did not hear Silver Wolf’s words and answered in a calm tone. “Samsung Group’s Miss Son has been spoiled by Korea, but we can’t spoil that child.”
