Sword Among Us

Chapter 682: Giving A Gift

[The duel at the summit of Mount Tai!]

[Top ranked on Famous People Rank and top on Dragon Rank, who will win?]

[The fight for the title of strongest ends with both dying]

[A top-class duel between sword qi and sword will. Who said that Happy is invincible only in close-quarters combat? Even when he faced One Emperor, he was not in any disadvantage!]

[One Emperor used his strength to share the title of strongest in the world!]

[Their unyielding will allowed them to stand firm, and even the God of Death could not make them move their feet!]

On the day Happy and One Emperor’s duel ended, the world of martial artist was shaken, and the internet was shocked. Almost all topics circulated around their duel.

They were both in Life and Death Realm, but it was a fight that was similar to the fights between Inaction Realm martial artists. Every person who was personally at the site of the battle would retain a memory of a top-class duel they would never be able to forget.

The countless players on the internet did not expect that the battle between players could reach such a stage. While they were shocked, they also watched various battle replays to such a frenzied degree that there was no way any other battle replay could hope to top it.

This was especially so after the duo died. Their expressions after they passed away were screenshot by the official website and pasted on the front page. It was projected on a large space, and it stimulated the passion in every gamer.

The top-class duel lived up to its name!

Many forum commenters jumped out and started sharing their opinions in a frenzy.

The two men used their wills, their passion, and their lives to tell others what it meant to be at the top.

[Do you want to become matchless players like Happy and One Emperor?

[Very well! You must possess the heart of a powerful person, the will of the mighty!]

The storm continued brewing and spreading.

*****

A dark horse of a battle replay was pushed to the front of the official website’s pay-to-view system!

It was not the duel at the top of Mount Tai, but focused on the entrance of a Guanlin Temple in a city at the foot of Mount Tai. It was of Happy and One Emperor smiling while they walked down the stairs. Both of them looked calm and relaxed.

They also walked away side-by-side.

Did they smile at each other because the emotions they held for each other were incredibly complicated after their fight, or was this the support and admiration the top heroes had for each other?

Young Cave used that battle replay to successfully become the youngest gamer with the lowest qi realm to earn big money even though he did nothing.

His net worth increased to ten million!

*****

The other matter that was sung with praise by all gamers was that after Happy and One Emperor died, the elites from various sects and the powerful players on the ranking boards persisted in defending Heaven Crystal and Seventh Sword so that no one could get close enough to even touch them.

They stayed there until Happy heard about it and returned to Mount Tai. Then, under the gazes of the crowd and admiring eyes of countless great players, he took the sword casket with Heaven Crystal and the third-echelon high-grade divine weapon. It was only then that the crowded summit gradually became less crowded.

*****

The news of the battle at the summit of Mount Tai reached everyone’s ears. Then, after a long time had passed, the news of Happy replacing One Emperor at the top of Dragon Rank was noticed.

Hence, a fierce mass fervor spread out like a tidal wave.

After the battle, Happy, who had died, not only showed no signs of weakness, he instantly reached Moksha Realm, and it made many people begin to speculate.

The players who originally thought that Happy and One Emperor now shared the title of strongest in the world became unsure of their assumptions.

On that day, Happy had not only occupied the position at the top of Famous People Rank, Dragon Rank, and Divine Weapon Rank, he had also officially pushed Mu Clan to become the strongest player sect in the Chinese server.

All the streets in Baokang County Town were decorated in large celebratory red lamps, and they had the word “Mu”.

Even though there was no official declaration about it, but over the past few days, many of the sect leaders in the south brought great gifts to Baokang, as if they were attending a gathering.

Some of them came to congratulate the second clan master of Mu Clan for being the first to enter Moksha Realm.

There were also some who came to congratulate Mu Clan for officially becoming the strongest player sect.

There were some who followed the tide and came over to congratulate Mu Clan. They were so enthusiastic that Mu Clan smiled nonstop and reserved a few restaurants to serve their guests.

*****

“Hahahaha...”

“Big Brother Thunder, I’m here too.”

“Sect Master Bear of Great Spirit Sect, it’s you! Hurry up and come in. You came from afar, but I didn’t manage to serve you properly. Please go in.”

While Thunderous Battle smiled and greeted the guests who came to the door, he did not forget to give orders to his clan members so that they could serve the sect masters who had already taken their seats.

“Haha! Here’s a monetary gift.”

“Make a record.”

“Sect Master Bear of Great Spirit Sect. Monetary gift, three unakites! Three Vajra Stones! Thirty thousand taels of gold!”

Once the clan member at the entrance received the monetary gift, he quickly reported it to the others.

Sect Master Bear walked inside with his chest puffed out, and he greeted the other sect masters with whom he was familiar. “Hey, you’re all here. I’m late, hehe.”

“Drink a cup as punishment!”

“That’s right!”

*****

“I thought that we’d be the only ones here. I didn’t expect that all of them would arrive.”

“There’re lamps all over the town. They sure threw in a lot of money for this.”

The sect masters who sat down talked and laughed with each other. They were constantly shocked by the continuous stream of sect masters who came over that they thought of themselves as fortunate.

There were far too many people who respected Mu Clan.

Not only did the sect masters near Baokang rush over, some of the sects further south also came over in groups. There were also some sect masters from the north and the coastal area. Perhaps the only ones who did not come were from the West Region.

The sect masters gasped in surprise secretly, but Thunderous Battle and the elites of Mu Clan who were in charge of receiving the guests were also shocked. They did not expect that their private celebration would draw over an endless stream of sect masters who came over without being invited and turned this private celebration into an extravagant official celebration. And by the looks of it, there were still more coming.

Fortunately, Baokang was where Mu Clan’s headquarters were situated, and they always had a lot of people there, along with a large number of elites. Even though there was an increasing number of people who came over to congratulate them, they could still set up guards all over the city and bring out Mu Clan’s style within a short period of time. At the end of the day, they did not make any mistakes as hosts.

However, on that day, Thunderous Battle and his clan members in Baokang were destined to go through their busiest day ever!

“Chivalry Sect’s Vice Sect Master Red Dust leads Branch Master Huang, Branch Master Li, and Branch Master Gui over for the celebration! His gift is ten Phantasmal Crystals, one thousand-year ginseng, two Moksha Realm martial arts manuals, and fifty thousand taels of gold!”

“Red Dust, my friend, you sure are generous with your gift!”

“Haha! This is a joyous occasion, so it’s only natural that we do things accordingly. This is just a simple gift, so I hope that you won’t think it’s too little. Also, my sect master is on her way. She’ll be here soon.”

“Sect Master Void has to deal with a lot of duties, so there’s no need for her to come over here for something so trivial.”

Thunderous Battle beamed with joy. Ten Phantasmal Crystals was a great gift, and he could sense just how great it was by how abruptly the area inside fell silent.

“Of course she has to come.” Red Dust placed his fist in his palm, smiled, and said, “Big Brother Thunder, do continue with your work, don’t bother to serve us. We’re all friends here.

“Come, let’s go in and drink.”

He raised his foot, and just when Thunderous Battle was prepared to say something, he suddenly heard a loud voice from outside.

“Towering Palace Elder Shangguan Lian brought three palace members over for the celebration, and they have come with a monetary gift!”

Including Red Dust, everyone paused in their movements and turned their heads around to look.

“Towering Palace offers their gift of ten Phantasmal Crystals, ten Vajra Stones, two low-grade divine weapons, two Moksha Realm martial art manuals, and one million taels of gold!”

When the elite from Mu Clan saw the inventory list in his Universe Bag, he was stunned for a moment before he quickly read it out.

Many of the people in the restaurant instantly burst into an uproar.

Towering Palace came over to show their stance.

Before they could calm down their surging emotions, another unexpected name reached their ears.

“Class One Hall offers their gift of ten Phantasmal Crystals, two thousand-year tuber fleeceflowers, two thousand-year ginsengs, one Moksha Realm lightness skill manual, one Moksha Realm body fortification manual, and two million taels of gold!

The entire restaurant instantly fell silent.

When Thunderous Battle looked at the person who was in charge of sending over the monetary gift on behalf of Class One Hall, he kept the calm smile on his face.

“Take it.”
