Chapter 726: Fight For Territory

Dragon Sect was a grand name for a sect. In America, it meant supreme power. It was a sect built by a group of Chinese martial artists from China Town.

It was the largest and strongest sect in all of America.

But its reputation could not compare to the Chinese server’s Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect.

There was no other reason for it.

Only when powerful people who were of equal strength to each other were gathered in a place where competition was great that others would pay attention to their fights and find their battles to contain entertainment value.

It had to be acknowledged that the foreign Chinese players in World of Martial Arts used their understanding of the martial arts in the east to gain an advantage over other great American players.

Hence, while many American players were having a hard time figuring out the game, the foreign Chinese players had already long since embarked on the journey to strengthen themselves by training!

The disciples from various martial arts schools had an even easier time getting familiar with the skills, and they could cut training time in half.

Even though they were slightly late in entering the game, once the players in the Chinese server reached Life and Death Realm, the foreign Chinese players also entered Life and Death Realm right after them to become the conquerors of America!

There might be a lot of Chinese outside China, but there were not many of them in the game. Most of them joined the few Chinese organizations in their own regions.

Dragon Sect was the strongest and most symbolic sect of the foreign regions.

It had leaders, teachers, and disciples from three martial arts schools, who were connected to each other via political marriages, along with a group of passionate and young great players. Under the leadership of a few reputable people who were of the older generation, they controlled most of the resources in America.

Unfortunately, this extraordinary result did not have much of an effect in the whole world because Dragon Sect lacked competitors who could challenge them.

And the game was created by the Chinese. Most of the elements in the game contained the unique characteristics of eastern martial arts. Hence, many people believed that it was only natural that Dragon Sect would have success in America.

But it was different in the Chinese server.

Over the year, the Chinese server had bustled with activity and suffered through all sorts of storms. In the beginning, they had the emperor’s birthday going for them. Then, they attacked Light Summit. The ability to gather hundreds of people in one spot was something that the other countries did not possess.

Only China entered the frenzy of the martial artists’ world right from the moment the game was launched, and everyone got to fully experience the charm of eastern martial arts.

The most dazzling people at that time had been Dream Clouds, who was calm and used every method at her disposal for the things she wanted; Happy, who explored the game alone and did not stick to one method when he fought or acted; Lu Mingyue, who became the successor of Dongfang Bubai and acted in a very effeminate way; and One Emperor, who was mysterious and strong.

They worked together with great martial artists who had different strengths from different eras, such as Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, the people from Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect, and decorated the plains into a complicated, terrifying, and charming world for wanderers.

As time passed, the Chinese forces of power in other countries should have continued to develop and monopolize their resources, but as more American forces of power spread out in search for more refined equipment and weapons as well as high-grade medicinal pills and martial art manuals, Dragon Sect finally noticed that their status had begun to shake.

Even though their influence and strength in America remained at the top and no one could fight against them, there were many outstanding people in America whose influence did not lose to theirs.

Moreover, a small group of Chinese would never be able to take care of the entire world. They could not keep an eye out on their entire region, and they could not develop in a manner that was as perfect as the Chinese server, where they could influence their players to develop all systems together.

The weekly refinements and creation of medicinal pills had always fallen behind the Chinese server.

But these things were very important in the game...

For example, Illusion Life and Death Pill was something that the American server only had two of at the moment. It was an item that came only from high-grade quests since there was no one in the American server who had the ability to create them.

What made Dragon Sect wary was not the forces of power from America, but the Chinese server!

Many American forces brought out a large amount of resources to exchange for weapons and armor that had already been refined as well as already made medicinal pills. The profit was incredibly impressive.

Then, they brought those things back in exchange for more gold and resources... and the amount of trade they made was astonishing!

The leaders of Dragon Sect gradually became worried.

If this continued, most of the resources from America would fall in the hands of the Chinese server, and there would be a severe lack of resources in the American server. There were no high class players focusing on the occupations in the local region, and they could not provide the American server with weapons, armor, and medicinal pills.

But pouring American resources into the Chinese server would further increase the distance between the two servers.

At that time, once the Chinese server decided to shift their attention over to them, they would be in a very passive situation!

*****

A month ago, Dragon Sect finally made their decision to return to the Chinese server!

*****

“Did these people really come from the American server?”

A group of elders and higher ups who heard about the news gathered at Towering Palace’s headquarters. With astonished expressions, they stared at the Chinese players who fought against Grim Green and Vast Heaven and gasped in amazement.

Grim Green and Vast Heaven were the most outstanding elites in Towering Palace.

Ever since they lost to the mysterious man in black, they experienced a deep shock, and they fought against Inaction Realm martial artists every day in the prison within the headquarters in order to figure out the profundity of their martial artists and the techniques they could use to fight against their enemies.

Over the past few days, they finally gained some epiphanies and arrived at some breakthroughs.

But the people sent from America had casually sent a few people to the ring and caught the duo in a hard fight. Instead, Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing, who had kept a low profile ever since Vast Heaven joined, could fight those people to a tie and exchange blows with them tit for tat.

The elites of Towering Palace were dumbfounded.

The American Chinese had smug expressions on their faces stating that this was always supposed to happen and they could not be blamed for being so prideful.

Due to their training, they had accumulated a lot of experience and built a good foundation. When they entered the game, their innate Affinity was also very good, so they had an easy time when they trained. While playing the game, they adopted the style of fighting quickly and winning against those who were stronger than them.

Right then, their qi was not inferior to that of the elites on Dragon Rank.

The only distance between them was their equipment.

Most of the higher ups of Towering Palace were equipped with dazzling third-echelon equipment, while the American server had only recently begun to excavate ores in large quantities, so they were far behind the Chinese server in this regard.

But there were only a few people from Towering Palace who could fight against them. Even if the others had equipment advantage over them, they were still not Dragon Sect’s opponents!

Two people were watching the fight from the crowd formed by the American Chinese while they discussed softly among themselves.

“Those elites on Dragon Rank are all bark but no bite. I think we can absolutely carry out the second plan.”

The first plan was that once the Dragon Sect elites entered the Chinese server, they would affiliate themselves with Towering Palace and use the good, fertile land of the Chinese server to cultivate a group of high-class forgemasters and herbalists as well as form a long-term business relationship with Towering Palace.

As for the second plan, it showed their great ambitions.

They wanted to set a branch in the Chinese server, but they first needed a suitable spokesperson so that they could stay in the Chinese server and compete against the other sects for the world.

When the people from Dragon Sect saw Towering Palace’s strength, they were filled with indignation because they were known as one of the four top-class sects, and that included the two people in the crowd.

‘They managed to be among the top in the Chinese server with this strength? If Dragon Sects settled in the Chinese server...

‘Hmph!’

At that moment, someone suddenly rushed over hastily, and he quickly made his way to the Music sisters, who were on the stairs.
