Chapter 355: Rise to Fame
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the second day Class One Hall’s branch was built in Wengcheng, it was destroyed by more than one thousand people from a nameless large faction, and Class One Hall had no way of fighting back.
News related to Class One Hall was almost always of interest to the informants of various organizations. Besides that, that particular piece was a shocking development. At the moment it became known, the entire game was stunned by it!
When the players saw it, their first reaction was: whose idea of a joke is this?
Practically no one believed that it was real. There might not be many people in Class One Hall’s branch, but their combat abilities were extraordinary, so how could they have been destroyed by one thousand people from a nameless faction?
Did they think Class One Hall was useless?
What a joke!
Class One Hall claimed that they had more than fifteen thousand players in Mystical Realm, and they were a super sect with no weaknesses. Even among the three top sects, their strength was indisputably at the top.
However, once everyone watched the battle replay and gained a deeper understanding as well as concrete proof, they fell silent.
A group that seemed to have been formed by thousands of students showed how outstanding they were through a high number of deaths that brought them great pain. In less than half an hour, they showed a terrifying fighting spirit after being ambushed, and it left people dumbfounded. They killed most of Class One Hall’s people, then they destroyed the fighting spirit of the remaining survivors.
‘Class One Hall was careless.’
That was the reaction most people had once they finished watching the battle replay.
But there were also people who chose to continue investigating the matter. Then, more secrets were discovered.
The battle had started because of the fight for resources in Wengcheng. All sorts of signs showed that Class One Hall had started the provocation. Once they stole the resource points, they mobilized all their forces to attack, and they resolutely chose to lure their enemies outside, which was how the ambush in the battle replay had started.
Class One Hall faced a tragedy after that.
They could only say that it was a disastrous day for them.
Class One Hall had clearly chosen the wrong opponent. They had decided to target a young sect that was so unified that it was unheard of, and the ambush was without any sort of standard whatsoever. Aside from killing more than one hundred people from Beautiful Robes Faction at the start, they had been dragged into Beautiful Robes Faction’s strategy of using their large numbers to fight against the few. They were completely caught in a war of attrition.
They wanted to use the power of a branch to fight a war of attrition against a faction with nearly ten thousand people? Aside from saying that they were dumb, the players who watched the fight could only admire their courage.
*****
On that day, Beautiful Robes Faction shot to fame!
Even though they suffered greatly in the battle, Class One Hall had suffered a great deal of damage as well, and for the first time ever, they lost, even though they had home advantage.
Beautiful Robes Faction won a group of cheers for the horrifying battle and their persistence!
What caught the people’s attention even more was Phoenix Dance, who was the female master of Beautiful Robes Faction. When she led a thousand people into the streets of Wengcheng, she convinced countless players in Wengcheng of her leadership. Her robes had been drenched in blood, her face was filled with a heroic air, and her Silver-spiked Staff was mighty and domineering. When she charged through the streets, all of Wengcheng trembled!
One thousand people surrounded Class One Hall’s branch and drenched it in blood. Their resolve was firm and resolute!
Phoenix Dances grace was spread by countless people online, and she became known as the strongest female mafia boss after the three leaders of the three great sects.
On that day, countless players in Wengcheng showed a great desire to join Beautiful Robes Faction, but they were all rejected.
*****
When the matter of the battle spread through the entire game, it was only natural that the people in Class One Hall’s headquarters could not remain calm.
Quite a number of people had been summoned back for an emergency meeting.
Barren Murderer’s face was cold, and he snorted before speaking in a mocking tone. “Sacrificing a large number of your own to kill even more of your enemy’s people? Promise Clouds, he sure did well…”
Dream Clouds, who had been sitting at the top of the table, stood up. The silver veil that covered her face swayed slowly, but faint worry could be seen in her eyes. “Sacrificing a large number of your own to kill even more of your enemy’s people cannot be used to describe this fight.”
“That’s right.” The handsome Blood Robes looked up. “What we sacrificed were elites. What Beautiful Robes Faction sacrificed were just their normal members. They lost only a few of their real elites. We lost a lot in this fight.”
When he said that, Blood Robes paused for a moment and pressed his hand against his forehead, then rubbed it slightly. “But Silver Wolf’s sudden appearance was out of our expectations. We can’t blame Promise Clouds for the failure of his plan, but the destruction of our branch has resulted in one-third of our elites being trapped in the branch and unable to escape or log off. In the end, they died twice. This is… something we can’t forgive.”
“This is what I meant as well. He did not know how to observe the situation and make judgments after he lost. We will have to demote Promise Clouds for the time being.” Dream Clouds made the decision to change Promise Clouds from being a core member to a mere member without any hesitation.
Barren Murderer and Blood Robes’ expressions did not change.
“I did not expect that Silver Wolf would be so strong, but we can now be sure that he has chosen to be in Happy’s group.
“If we knew about this earlier, we would have definitely bought over Silver Wolf beforehand. Happy… as expected of a person with the top-selling battle replay. Five million can be considered to be nothing to him. He sure is bold.”
The greater Dream Clouds’ appraisal for Happy was, the greater the worry in her eyes became!
“Barren Murderer, Blood Robes, we are currently in a very bad situation.”
Barren Murderer and Blood Robes said nothing, but they nodded.
Even though they had around a dozen branches, the combat ability of their members was above many sects, and they looked like the leaders of the game… the person in Shennongjia was growing stronger at a maddening pace. He could simply not be ignored! Even though he did not personally lead his clan and was still a free man, his invisible strength could already make them feel threatened, as if there was a needle poking at their backs.
His Beautiful Robes Faction was a huge faction with nearly ten thousand people. They occupied the resources of multiple cities and were supported by the man himself, who provided resources for them. They developed at a steady pace, and the day they stood among the top-class sects was just around the corner.
Mu Clan was also a rising sect that had Happy’s shadow behind it. On the day it rose to power, it already made Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace suffer a defeat. Mu Clan took the fertile resource points in Shennongjia and even quelled the conflict between the sects. There were even signs that the alliance of the five sects was on the way of setting up a firm stronghold in Shennongjia.
The others might not be able to tell the value of the resources in the mines of Shennongjia, but there was no way Dream Clouds did not know about it.
Once Mu Clan took its time to gather plenty of resources and became one with Beautiful Robes Faction, even great sects like Class One Hall, Chivalry Sect, and Towering Palace would have to regard them at eye level.
They would be equals with them!
There was no other possibility when they were successful in gathering resources from the game.
Also, Happy, Thunderous Battle, Little North, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, Beautiful Robes Faction’s One Circle and their higher ups, along with the mysterious player Silver Wolf, who had only appeared briefly, had gathered together. They could be said to be a group of top-class elites that was like an impenetrable fortress.
“It’s a pity that Five Venoms has been destroyed, or else we could organize people to secretly target Beautiful Robes Faction and hold down their development. Based on their current speed, one of these days, Happy will appear in Class One Hall’s headquarters,” Barren Murderer said in a regretful tone.
“It’ll be good if he comes.” Blood Robes smiled faintly, and his cold intentions were revealed. “I was actually feeling distressed because I couldn’t find a suitable partner to test my martial arts. By the way, Barren Murderer, you’ll have to hurry up with your quest, or else, when Happy comes, you’ll have to hide—”
“Get lost!”
“Alright, stop arguing. Send my orders to have someone monitor Happy’s every move in Shennongjia. From now onwards, I need to know everything he does.”
Dream Clouds’ cold voice seemed to have come from another dimension.
