Orochimaru thought about it. Then, under Happy’s awe-inspiring and mighty gaze, he still chose to fearfully take the jade slip. Then, under every one’s gaze, he braced himself and became the successor to Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy, and he received the title of the strongest member in Lovely Land.

  To others, Orochimaru received his most glorious moment in extreme excitement.

  But only Happy and Orochimaru knew that this was an incredibly difficult choice for him. This decided Orochimaru’s future path in the game.

  Orochimaru made a choice that he had to take.

  With complicated emotions, he took the jade and walked to the side.

  He joined Lovely Land to get Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy, but he just wanted to move between Lovely Land and the Wild Wolves and watch as the powerful people fought against each other while he gained the greatest benefits from it.

  But now, Happy’s words caused his composure and his plans to be completely crushed. Unless he completely disappeared with Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy and gave up on Orochimaru, the character he had built over five years, he would definitely have to work in Lovely Land as its sect member. If he refused it, Happy and Wandering Know-it-all could easily put a stop to all his freedom.

  Under Ji Feng’s signal, Orochimaru raised the jade slip and showed it to the people. With extremely complicated emotions and dejectedness, he walked to the other side.

  Happy moved his gaze away from Orochimaru.

  “Now, I will announce the three most outstanding members in the tournament.”

  Ji Feng gave everyone their ability to speak at the perfect timing. In an instant, a ruckus broke out in the tournament area again. Everyone’s gazes were gathered on Whirlwind Young Li, Wind Void, and Green Lit Wooden Fish.

  Happy’s voice echoed in the tournament area.

  “They are Whirlwind Young Li, Green Lit Wooden Fish, and Wind Void. Of course, there are plenty of people who did well during the tournament. Silver Wolf, Knife, Thunder, Bar, Howling Moon, and the performance from the group later are also very great. They can be considered among the ranks of outstanding members. I will reward them accordingly in the future in my own name. Now, three of you, please come on stage.”

  Whirlwind Young Li, Green Lit Wooden Fish, and Wind Void got on the stage one after another.

  Wind Void only nodded indifferently as she faced Lin Xiao, who was once one of the people who created her sect with her. She had no other reaction.

  “You performed outstandingly this time, especially Whirlwind Young Li and Green Lit Wooden Fish. The strength you showed has already surpassed those who are supreme-class elites. Wind Void, you had been holding back, but I am impressed by how you never lost during the spars before the tournament.”

  Happy gave them guidance and took care of their feelings. When he saw that Wind Void’s expression had become slightly gentler, he made his announcement. “Based on the rules we set before the tournament, you can choose a high-grade divine weapon and a set of demon vessels from the sect storage. You can contact Ji Feng about the details.”

  “Thank you, Sect Master!”

  Whirlwind Young Li immediately wrapped his fist in his palm to thank Happy.

  Green Lit Wooden Fish and Wind Void wrapped their fists in their palms to thank him as well.

  The people in the tournament area congratulated them.

  “Now, the rest of you may obtain a demon vessel. After the tournament, Ji Feng will give you the contribution points necessary for it.

  “I will now announce that the tournament has come to an end!”

  But even though Happy announced that the tournament had come to an end, the people in the tournament area did not immediately leave.

  The people in the Chinese plains and the leaders of the sects sat down quietly as they stared solemnly at Lin Xiao, Phantasmal Shadow, and Wandering Know-it-all, who got up from the stage of the hosts.

  One of their goals for coming to Lovely Land’s tournament was to watch the tournament, but there was something else important!

  The Imperial Army!

  \r \r \r

  Happy had already stated clearly in the hero’s invitation that he invited all the people in the Chinese plains to form an alliance with him to go out and fight against the Wild Wolves so that they could crush the Wild Wolves’ status as the rulers of the whole world.

  The end of the tournament meant the start of the other major event!

  “The main goal of the tournament this time is to choose people to form the Imperial Army used to fight against the Wild Wolves! I believe that all of you have heard about it.”

  The voice that rose in the air of the tournament area verified their guesses.

  They held their breaths and listened carefully.

  “Lovely Land has been created for less than two months. Right now, we have more than two million members. Thanks to your favor, right now, we are one of the largest sects in the Chinese plains!”

  Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao stood beside Happy quietly and sternly. Meanwhile, they sighed in their hearts.

  Happy could be said to have improved at lightning speed, and his process of reappearing in the game, building Lovely Land, and making it stronger could only be described as unbelievable! Half a year ago, who would have thought that Happy would be able to arrive at this point within such a short amount of time? They would never expect that he would be able to summon hundreds of thousands of Chinese players with just one hero’s invitation!

  They looked at the majestic tournament area and recalled the tournament of the top one hundred elites in Lovely Land, along with the pre-tournament spars that lasted for a few days.

  Every single aspect of this tournament was something that they would never dare to imagine, and it was also something difficult for them to do.

  But Happy managed to do it!

  He managed to set everything up as naturally as breathing and talking.

  Lin Xiao and Phantasmal Shadow could not help but have a thought appear in their minds.

  From now on, the Chinese plains would move into Lovely Land’s era. They would enter an age where Happy called the shots for everything!

  Lin Xiao and Phantasmal Shadow had a lot of feelings about this matter.

  Meanwhile, Wind Void, Whirlwind Young Li, Green Lit Wooden Fish, Orochimaru, Ji Feng, and the rest stood quietly behind Happy. They had their own thoughts and feelings as they stared at Happy’s back or side profile with complicated gazes.

  Wind Void was once the sect master of Chivalry Sect, and she was one of the people who created it

  Unfortunately for her, she was not very used to managing a sect, and she lacked a sense of danger. In the end, she caused the sect to split up, and Class One Hall broke them with just one attack. Then, the mighty sect master of Chivalry Sect ended up with the tragic fate of being alone.

  Wind Void had joined Lovely Land because Happy’s fate was very similar to hers. He had also been set up by Dream Clouds, and he also ended up with nothing left in his hands. He experienced the worst possible matter and went through betrayal by his lover. But Happy’s fierce counterattack when he returned to the game lit up the passion in her chest.

  Happy’s success and experiences were what Wind Void hoped to achieve, and she had a lot of feelings about that matter.

  This was especially so when Class One Hall was completely chased out of the Chinese plains by Lovely Land. Wind Void felt incredibly proud of him, and that was why she chose to join Lovely Land with an indomitable spirit.

  Part of the reason was because she wanted to be like Happy and understand herself. The other reason was because she wanted to become stronger and help Lovely Land so that she could chase Dream Clouds, her mortal enemy, out of the Chinese plains.

  Whirlwind Young Li’s feelings for Happy leaned more toward idolization.

  Whirlwind Young Li was just a normal disciple in the Murong Clan, and he was not famous in the game. But ever since Happy became famous, his experiences could practically be written into an epic.

  Whirlwind Young Li had repeatedly bought Happy’s battle replays and studied them, which was how he managed to get an inspiration from it!

  He had decided to join Lovely Land when the Wild Wolves invaded the Chinese plains!

  But that decision had become his most important and wisest decision in his life!

  His decision allowed him to enter Happy’s sights. He also obtained personal guidance from Happy and obtained Shifting Stars. Later on, he was lucky and obtained Star Sucking Great Skill, which allowed him to create his own legend.

  Now, his feelings to Happy were more similar to idolization toward his idol and sect master.

  Happy’s words were branded deep into his soul.

  As he stared at Happy’s back, Orochimaru felt all sorts of emotions in his heart, and he did not even know what he was feeling anymore.

  He thought that Happy’s wit and strength might have reached the peak, but Class One Hall and Wild Wolves should already be planning their third invasion and their most frenzied plan for their comeback.

  At that moment, even if he did manage to get Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy, Happy would not choose to take any action against him. Then, he could calmly move between the two forces and digest Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy. He could then grow quickly and become someone who could fight on equal grounds against Happy.

  But Happy’s unbothered presence and his method of stopping all the people from talking during the tournament showed absolute strength, and it caused him to be slightly terrified.

  However, what caused him the greatest unease was the hidden meaning contained in Happy’s words.

  Happy had just revealed a piece of information to him.

  ‘I know who you are, and I know everything about you!’

  His friendly manner of calling him his senior caused Happy’s image, which had never been weak to begin with, to instantly be as unfathomable as the sea.

  Compared to the three people, when Green Lit Wooden Fish observed Happy, his gaze was relatively simple. He was just curious and paid attention to him. He looked as if he had situated himself out of the situation and regarded him with a rather distant look. It was very strange.

  “One month ago, the Wild Wolves were ambitious, and they tried to control the Chinese plains. In the end, the Chinese plains rose up and fought against them. Then, we were able to chase them out of the Chinese plains!

  “Unfortunately, the Wild Wolves’ ambitions did not end just like this!”

  Happy’s voice quietly echoed in the air of the tournament area. He spoke rhythmically, and it attracted everyone’s attention.

  “But two days ago, I received news from West Region!

  “One Emperor, vice sect master of Lovely Land, was ambushed by hundreds of supreme-class Wild Wolves, and he was killed at West Region, and more than eight thousand Lovely Land members died with him.”

  Boom!

  This news might have spread in World of Martial Arts, they only received fragments about it, and the information was not complete. Many people were somewhat dubious about it. Right now, after Happy personally verified it and announced that hundreds of supreme-class elites had died among the thousands, it was only natural that the players would burst into a commotion.

  “That’s not all. Based on Master Wandering Know-it-all’s reading, the Wild Wolves’ sent a lot of people for their operation this time! Not only had Evil Emperor personally arrived, he had even summoned more than one thousand eight hundred members to enter West Region! Now, they are gathered at the borders of the Chinese plains! We still don’t know what his goal is, but we can’t get rid of the possibility that the Wild Wolves want to open the gates to the Chinese plains and enter fromWest Region!”

  “Hiss……”

  The players in the tournament area burst into a ruckus.

  “There are plenty of supreme-class elites among the Wild Wolves, but he has never gathered more than one thousand supreme-class elites in one go……”

  “What does Evil Emperor want to do this time?!”

  “Does he intend to enter the Chinese plains through West Region?!”

  “Damn it!”

  “If we have to fight, so be it! Are we supposed to be afraid of him now?!”

  “Sect Master Happy, no matter what, we trust you! We’re going to elect you to lead us to fight against the Wild Wolves! Just give us the command, and we will definitely gather our people to support you!”

  “That’s right!”

  “He’s right! Sect Master Happy, you just need to say the word!”

  “We might as well form an alliance right now! Everyone, gather your forces and head to West Region! We will get rid of the Wild Wolves and all the forces of power who have joined forces with the Wild Wolves in one go!”

  “That’s right!”

  Countless sect leaders in the tournament area were full of courage. They spoke one after another, and in an instant, their fighting spirits were lit up, and the air was charged with hostility.
