Happy thought about this for a moment before he said, "Everyone, there is still half a month until the competition in Lovely Land. At that time, the branches will send a few elites to the headquarters to determine who is the greatest. I hope that you will be able to gain a ranking by then."
"Boss Happy, I'd like to ask a question. Since we're Lovely Land members, if we join Lovely Land at the same time as well and leave the Chinese server to fight, will we get even better benefits?"
The person who asked the question was Little North.
He had been sitting for a long time beside Happy, and as time passed, he slowly gained the feeling that this strongest person in the Chinese server was not as difficult to get close to as rumors said him to be.
"Life will be very difficult for you if you enter the Imperial Army and fight for the Chinese server. At that time, you will naturally receive some benefits. But you must fulfil the requirements. The requirements to enter the imperial Army are also very harsh. Even though many of the people in the area received Wandering Know-it-all's invitation to come to this place, I am still the one who will make the decision on whether you are truly qualified to join the Imperial Army." Happy reminded the people. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13772664505174105)/leave_%!d(string=50128866303330885) for visiting.
The group came to a swift realization, and he nodded repeatedly.
"But the competition this time is something we have decided upon a long time ago. It's because we want to stabilize Lovely Land. That's why when I won't prioritize any of the members in the Imperial Army when it comes to Senior Heavenly Saber's legacy, but I can assure you that if there are similar chances in the future, the Lovely Land members in the Imperial Army will have priority over the other members."
Happy finally gave an answer that satisfied the expectations of all the people in the Imperial Army.
"Sect master."
"You can call me Happy." Happy turned his head and said to Silver Wolf with a smile.
Silver Wolf nodded and asked, "Alright, Happy. I just want to know what the requirements to join the Imperial Army are."
In truth, the preferential treatment Happy promised to give the Imperial Army made him suddenly look forward to join the Imperial Army, and that was aside the temptation posed by Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy.
Even though he did not have a lot of confidence toward the organization Happy attempted to build to fight against Wild Wolves, based on Happy's performance today, it seemed like the person—Happy—serving as a garrison for Lovely Land not only had outstanding strength, but he was also someone who was magnanimous.
This caused Silver Wolf to be unable to help himself but have slight changes to his thoughts, and he suddenly began to look forward to the Imperial Army.
When they heard Silver Wolf's question, the group of people surrounding them held their breaths.
"I remember that you once rejected Wandering Know-it-all's invitation, and you said that you're not willing to join the Imperial Army. By the looks of it, you seem to have changed your decision." Happy smiled faintly, and instead of answering, he just voiced his observation.
Silver Wolf was stunned for a moment before he smiled wanly. "Now, I completely believe that you are indeed paying me a lot of attention. I thank you for recognizing my worth, but previously, I did indeed not have a lot of confidence in the Imperial Army… No, I should say that I have absolutely no confidence in it," Silver Wolf spoke naturally, and he seemed to not be worried at all that Happy would be angry because of this.
Thunderous Battle and the others noticed to their surprise that Happy did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, he seemed to have been expecting this a long time ago. He shrugged in a natural manner.
"What about now?"
Silver Wolf remained quiet and stared into Happy's eyes. "Now, I think that if you pay full attention to building the Imperial Army, perhaps we will actually have some hope in resisting Wild Wolves."
"Just resisting them?"
Happy's wan smile caused Thunderous Battle and the group to be shocked.
Silver Wolf showed no intention of retracting what he said. He nodded and said with a firm tone, "Being able to resist Wild Wolves is already my best hope."
"Alright, keep that thought. But one day, I'll let you know that the Imperial Army isn't just made to fight against Wild Wolves."
As he spoke, Happy stood up. "I can tell you about the requirements of the Imperial Army. You have to work full time in it. You have to be there when the time comes. Aside from this, you must also have at least the strength of a high-ranking first-class elite. You must have good judgment and skills, and neither must be missing. I will choose the members for the Imperial Army slowly, and one month later, I will tell you whether you're eligible to join the Imperial Army."
"Alright. You still have half a month to train. Prepare for the competition. I hope that I will be able to see you at the headquarters later."
Once he finished speaking, Happy moved and appeared at the wall dozens of feet away.
He used Wave-like Subtle Steps, and with a few jumps, he quickly vanished from the people's sights.
Once the main character was gone, there was no longer any need for the others to remain in the feast.
One after another, the people who just became sect mates bade farewell to each other and left.
Silver Wolf and his party were the ones who left the fastest.
The last to leave were Thunderous Battle and his party, along with Little North, who was alone with his few zombies.
At the moment he left Song House, Thunderous Battle suddenly turned around and stared at Little North, who quietly left with his zombies. He had a strange look on his face as he called out to Little North. "Hey… You wanna come with us?"
He knew that many righteous martial artists in the world of martial artists did not like to go adventuring together with these deviant players who controlled zombies.
"Huh?"
When he heard the unexpected greeting, Little North looked up in a dumbfounded manner before he nodded vigorously. "Sure!"
"I'm Thunderous Battle. I'm their temporary party leader…"
"Big Brother Thunder, big brothers, you can just call me Little North."
"We know you. You sure gave us a shock when you proposed a toast to Lin Xiao and Red Dust… Haha…"
"Big brothers, please stop making fun of me. At that time, I was just dumbly thinking about how I can curry favor to Boss Happy…"
"Haha! You sure are honest. But you're lucky. You actually had Sect Master Happy take the initiative to help you smooth the situation over. Whew… At that time, I was really jealous of you."
"Hehe…"
Little North was always really clever, and because of it, he soon gained the recognition of the group as their youngest junior brother. The party went out of the city and went to the port.
*****
Happy stood on the deck at the bow with a calm gaze on the Song House ship that had just left the port. He stared at the surging, wide sea and just allowed the wind of the sea crash against his face. His hero's bandana drifted behind his head.
Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, and Thunder stood behind him and quietly stared at Happy's back.
No one would have expected that Silver Wolf had chased after Happy hastily, and before the ship sailed off, he took the initiative to make a tentative suggestion to Happy, and he tested his luck, hoping that Happy could help them increase their strength as quickly as possible.
And Happy agreed to it.
Chapter 1129 - Whetstone
Silver Wolf had three goals behind why he wanted to follow Happy.
One, he wanted to see just what sort of temperament this person possessed, despite the fact that he claimed to be influenced by Silver Wolf, even though he was the strongest player in the Chinese server.
Two, Silver Wolf w
anted to know how Happy managed to become the strongest player in the Chinese player from being a noob in Life and Death Realm, to the point that he was equals with Evil Emperor.
Third, and this was also his true intention. He wanted to use his training trip with Happy in an attempt to increase his speed in making himself and his three other comrades stronger.
The group entered the sea and traveled north to Beijing before they got on shore.
They spent more than one day on the ship.
Fortunately, the boat Song House prepared for Happy had pretty good effects. Aside from having a spacious interior, there were also machine puppets inside that were at Myth Realm. At the same time, there were a few merchants who specialized in selling some basic martial art manuals in the world of martial artists.
Silver Wolf and the other three did not waste their time. Aside from occasionally going out to get a breath of fresh air, they spent most of their time in the ship to train.
But Happy never went inside to train.
He had reached Inaction Realm, but he was only practicing one Inaction Realm ultimate technique as of current—Sun Finger. During his fight against Evil King in Song House, after this martial art reached the sixth level, which was the middle stage of mastery, it had become much more terrifying in terms of strength. Even a real Myth Realm martial artist would have a hard time withstanding Happy's finger-generated wind, much less those beginner level machine puppets.
Happy spent most of his time at the deck of the ship, and while the elites from Song House took care of him, he dozed off.
Silver Wolf had tried to go over a few times to talk to Happy, but when he saw Happy remaining still and not showing any intention in opening his eyes, for some reason, he got rid of his plan.
*****
Naturally, Happy never wasted his time during the boring journey on the ship.
He had his mind and spirit move to the world three years ago.
He had been cultivating his qi while AFK for a very long time, and his qi had long since reached Inaction Realm, allowing him to cast all those who had just reached Moksha Realm far behind him.
As the first player to reach Inaction Realm, Happy was declared as the forerunner of realms by many people. At the same time, he was also considered by many as the touchstone for martial art manuals.
As of current, there were already quite a number of Inaction Realm martial art manuals in the game, but no one could tell just which was good, and which was bad. Everyone was waiting for Happy to begin practicing them.
Only when a person practiced a martial art nonstop and at a high intensity would he or she be able to tell whether a martial art was good or bad.
To many people, Happy would need to enter isolated training for three months up to half a year before he could choose a decent martial art.
B.u.t.t against everyone's expectations, Happy chose a lightness skill, body fortification skill, and a sword technique in one go.
He did not choose anything else but focused on training later on.
The people in the game naturally did not know that Happy had the information from the world three years later as his backup. He had a clear understanding of the attributes in the various Inaction Realm martial art manuals from various schools. He could understand their strengths and weaknesses fully, so it was only natural that he did not need to experiment with any of them. There was absolutely no need for him to waste any time in choosing martial arts. He could just choose the best martial art manual from the clan storage.
His lightness skill was Wudang Sect's Sky Treading Ladder, as for his body fortification skill, it was Asura Sect's Golden Asura Art, and his sword technique was a unique Inaction Realm martial art known as Destruction Sword Art.
As for his qi cultivation technique, he had Tendon Changing Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill. Those two were already powerful enough!
*****
While his other self was traveling on a ship in the other world, Happy seized time to arrive at the mountainside where Yin Weed Faction's nest was. This was one month after he forced Evil King to leave Dafo Temple.
Just as he expected, he met Wan Wan "again" at the mountainside. But this time, Wan Wan had only reached the beginning stage of Myth Stage. Her strength was absolutely not enough to compare to Happy, who had reached Inaction Realm.
"Gusu's Blue-robed Hero…"
Wan Wan appeared dozens of feet away and stared at Happy warily once he stopped moving. "What business do you have at Yin Weed Faction?"
"Ah, Miss Wan Wan. It's been a long time since we've met. You look even better than you did from before."
Happy looked up with a smile. He sized up Wan Wan's devilishly good figure fearlessly. "Summon the Evil King!"
"This is Yin Weed Faction!"
Wan Wan's tone was firm, but her sparkling eyes betrayed all her thoughts.
"I know that this is Yin Weed Faction's nest. I will give you three breaths. Call the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan out here within that time, or else, I will level Yin Weed Faction today."
Before he finished speaking, a monstrous presence and awe-inspiring might suddenly surged out of the darkness at the depths of the mountainside. A voice that sounded like thunder traveled forth like a tidal wave.
"You talk big, boy!"
The awe-inspiring voice traveled forth from the darkness with a sound wave that caused those who heard it to have their eardrums ache in pain, causing their hearts to shudder as well.
However, Happy only had his true qi circulate a little in him, and he quickly chased away all the bad reactions in him. With a calm gaze, he stared at the graceful figure who descended from the sky to land between Wan Wan and himself.
Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan!
She stared at Happy fiercely. Her pure Great Sky Demon Art caused the entire mountainside to become even darker than before.
A dangerous presence flowed between Happy and Zhu Yuyan!
The elites at the peak of Myth Realm were indeed invincible existences in the current World of Martial Arts, but to Happy, those at the peak of Myth Realm were no longer insurmountable existences. He cast Empress Yin a mild look, and he said lackadaisically, "Empress Yin, are you thinking of stopping me?"
"It's not your place to run amuck in Yin Weed Faction!" An elite at the peak of Myth Realm had incredibly great dignity. Empress Yin was already completely enraged by Happy's derisive attitude and complete disregard of the status between them. As she spoke, she spread her fingers. Sky Demon Aura instantly swept through the area. A huge hand with wisps of black fog quietly gathered above Happy's head…
Sky Demon Hand!
Her killing intent was monstrous!
"Hmph."
When he noticed Empress Yin's ruthless move, a cold glare shone in Happy's eyes.
The Dragon Swings Its Tail!
Whoosh!
It was clear that this was the first time Zhu Yuyan came into contact with the secret of Happy's the Dragon Swings Its Tail. Empress Yin had the full damage of the powerful attack from Sky Demon Hand delivered back to her, and it was so fast that Empress Yin was a little caught off guard. She was instantly suppressed, and she even had to face the threat from Happy.
A sword light sliced through the air. Sky Demon Body rose from he, but three slashes were still left behind on her robes.
By the side, Wan Wan could see this the clearest out of anyone else in the area.
At the moment Sky Demon Hand landed on Happy, he had strangely disappeared from before Empress Yin. Then, at the same time, he appeared beside her at a terrifying speed. Not only had he managed to land a solid kick on Empress Yin, he had also delivered a powerful sword technique immediately after. The power that instantly erupted did not lose to the power delivered by a Myth Realm elite at all.
Of course, while the subsequent attack was strange and quick, the damage could not be compared to the ingenious kick. It did not cause Empress Yin any substantial damage or pose as any substantial threat. Find authorized novels in , f

Even so, Empress Yin was so shocked by Happy's lightning-fast counterattack that she was surprised and enraged.
"You're asking for death!"
Even though Empress Yin had learned about how strong Happy was from the Evil King and had also experienced Happy's strength firsthand, when she saw the strength in Happy's sword technique, she immediately came to a conclusion.
He was only running rampant because of the strange technique and his powerful physical body as well as recovery ability. His real strength was still at the beginning stage of Myth Realm. There was no reason for her to fear him.
Once she calmed down, Empress Yin began fighting against Happy with all her strength.
For a period of time, cold wind and sword w.h.i.n.es filled the mountainside. The air trembled, and m.o.a.ns could be heard nonstop.
Wan Wan stood outside the battlefield and did not interfere at all. She could only watch Happy and Empress Yin fight. Occasionally, her eyes would shine in faint surprise and puzzlement.
Those who were deeply involved could not see the truth clearly. This statement was true.
After one hundred moves, Wan Wan soon noticed that while the sword technique Happy used was a profound technique, his understanding toward it was not deep enough, and his mastery of it was not high. The trajectory of his moves were too obvious.
And every time, he would use certain ingenious moves to cause pressure to Empress Yin and avoid most of Empress Yin's attacks, but it seemed like Happy was more obsessed with improving his sword technique.
He had his full attention placed in improving his sword technique, and he no longer had the domineering air he possessed when he first entered the mountainside. He never mentioned the Evil King's name either.
Happy seemed to be using Empress Yin to practice his sword!
