Sword Among Us

Putting an end to the grudge between them…

Indeed, it was time for them to put an end to everything.

*****

In his previous life, Happy did not understand the specific effects and influence of a huge faction of power on a group quest, but he gained a full understanding of it in this life.

In his previous life, Happy did not understand the specific strength a group of people can bring out when they fought together, but now, he had an idea.

He came to an understanding that no matter how strong a person was, when he or she stood in front of an organization, it was useless.

This was similar to how a person tried to do his quests on the plains alone. No matter how strong he was, he was only a soldier. At most, he can only do his duty and become a dazzling pawn on the chessboard.

But when someone reached his height, he can overlook the entire situation.

He can do many things that other people cannot do.

Over the past twenty days or so, he had every move on the plains controlled in his hands.

Even though he did not have diviners helping him, Happy relied on his one hundred thousand cavaliers and the eyes and ears that almost covered the entire plains to learn of the mobilization of forces on the Mongolian army’s side as well as the times when the evil cult elites took action. He had a clear understanding of their movements, to the point that their movements were revealed to him like a pool of clear water.

Also, during that period of time, Happy did not just repeatedly gain points everyday.

Everyday, Happy threw himself into the most dangerous places.

At night, he will run into Demon General, the Priest, Empress Yin, and Evil King one after another, fight against them a little, and flee. He also fought multiple times against Ralston, one of the Ten Great People. He even met the most powerful Martial Paragon hidden at the back of the Mongolian army once.

To any other normal person, those dangerous encounters were definitely situations that guaranteed certain death, but Happy had always been able to dissolve them multiple times with ease.

During the multiple encounters, Happy used the unique qualities in Nine Yang Divine Skill and imitated the Myth Realm martial artists’ skills in frenzy.

Priest Xi Yin’s Heavenly Purple Aura Net, Demon General Zhao Deyan’s First Soul Returning Claw, Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s Undying Seals, and Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s Blazing Sun.

In all, aside from Great Sky Demon Art, which was a martial art only girls could practice, Happy had shamelessly learned all the evil cult Myth Realm elites’ martial arts.

He used Priest Xi Yin’s Heavenly Purple Aura Net against Demon General Zhao Deyan’s Ever-changing Silk Spear, used First Soul Returning Claw with Blazing Sun to fight against Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan’s Great Sky Demon Art, and used Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Shifting Stars to fight against Shi Zhixuan’s Undying Seals and Martial Paragon’s Blazing Sun.

Even though no one saw his battles, the strength Happy displayed in multiple group fights still caused quite a few attentive people to post those fights online.

The Emperor’s Announcement Event had not ended yet.

A group of people had already obtained Mongolia’s War Achievement Points Rank and China’s War Achievement Points Rank and brought them to a mansion in America’s Los Angeles.

Bright sunlight shone into a huge hall through the floor-to-ceiling window and landed on a young Chinese man dressed in a white T-shirt.

The young man took over a small tablet his subordinates handed to him and lowered his head to look at it. Then, he casually placed it on the table beside him.

“It’s just as I expected. Compared to China, Mongolia is much weaker.” The man had a cold expression, and aside from a confidence that came straight from his bones, there was even a noble air in his actions.

A man in a suit standing behind the couch carefully picked up the tablet and answered, “Young Master Wei, there is indeed a huge difference in the data. But that is to be expected. Mongolia’s resources can also be considered the third best in the world. They are in a very awkward state regardless of their geographical location or their resources. In the end, they only managed to produce one Ralston. As of current, only Ralston remains in the plains.”

“Are you talking about Ralston, the one listed among the Ten Great People?”

“That’s right. Young Master Wei, Ralston is indeed a little skilled. As long as he doesn’t run into the elite squad from China’s Mu Clan, only the squad he leads can manage to fight a little against China’s squads, no other team from Mongolia can.

“It’s a pity, but over the past few days, Mongolia suffered quite a lot of losses, and most players have already retreated from the quest area.”

“Okay, got it.”

The man in the white T-shirt stood up with a calm expression and stood on the furry carpet with his bare feet. He had a long, lean, and balanced figure. He casually walked to the window, pushed it open, and walked into the brightly lit yard. The man in the suit followed behind him tentatively. With a respectful expression, he continued describing all the other information he had in his hands.

“Also, Young Master Wei, I know that you asked me to pay attention to the Ten Great People Rank, but that number is now a mere nominal existence.

“Over this period of time, there is a continuous stream of people who entered the rank. The Prophet has widened the space for the Great People Rank, and now, there are twenty-seven people in it.”

“The Prophet?” The man in the white T-shirt was slightly stunned.

“It’s the bandit title Carlson gave himself. He said that only those with bandit titles can be considered true wanderers. He also said that aside from the Great People Rank, he is also in progress of setting up a detailed International Influential Rank of the Strong. He intends to put all the elites in the world in the form of data on the rank and rank them based on their strength.

“By the looks of it, he wants to become an international version of Wandering Know-it-all.”

When he heard the man in the suit’s words, the man in the white T-shirt remained silent for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his lips. “That blond boy is rather interesting. He’s actually thinking about ranking the strength of all the elites in the world…?”

He stopped talking for a moment before he was unable to help himself but ask, “How’s the progress of the ranking board now?”

“There are seven major servers in the game. More than two hundred countries are participating in it, and there are more than two billion players registered in the game. If he really wants to compile the statistics, he will have to pay a lot of attention to the details, and it is very troublesome. I believe that he will not be able to finish it within a short amount of time.”

The man in the white T-shirt offered a different view about this. “If he needs a very long time to compile the statistics for this, what will he do when he needs to update the data? If he isn’t efficient in this, it’s impossible for him to succeed in this matter.

“Carlson is a smart man. This sort of small matter won’t be able to bring him down. Search for his post again.”

“Alright.” The man in the suit quickly tapped a few icons on the tablet.

Then, he widened his eyes, and the man in the suit became excited. “It’s there, Young Master Wei!”

Young Master Wei was stunned, and he quickly turned his head around to take the tablet from the hands of the man in the suit. There, right before his eyes, was a ranking board.

“That Carlson is seriously not bad.

“Oh, wait, I should call him the Prophet now.” Young Master Wei smiled.

On the screen was the Prophet’s Weibo.

The title on the front page was very eye-catching.

International Influential Rank!

International Great People Rank!

Due to time constraints, the ranking boards only recorded the data of the famous elites for the time being, and aside from the people at the top one hundred spots being ranked according to their strength, the rest were still at the stage where their statistics were being compiled, and their ranking was in no particular order.

“Interesting.

“There are one thousand people on Influence Rank.

“This Prophet only ranked the positions of those at the top one hundred spots. This allows him to preserve the dignity of those ranked below them, and he can also save time. He killed two birds with one stone.

“But the first to tenth places… Hmm? Why is Happy’s name at fifteenth place?”

Young Master Wei and the man in the suit looked at each other at a loss.

Even though there were plenty of elites in the world, but there was currently only one person who had already reached Moksha Realm.

Happy’s strength was publicly acknowledged as the best by the battle replays. Being ranked at the fifteenth place in the world clearly did not seem logical.

“What is this Prophet doing…?”

“Young Master Wei, look! There’s a public annotation by the side!”
