While the offline martial arts tournament was in full swing, a few staff members in the main control center in Beijing moved back and forth between rows of computers.
In front of a huge screen made up of countless screens, the current matches were being shown!
A man and two women stood in front of the screen, watching with great interest. They didn't even notice that an old man wearing a Tang suit and holding a dragon-head walking stick had appeared behind them.
"How was the offline martial arts tournament this time?"
The old man in the Tang suit looked very healthy. He pointed with his walking stick and spoke from behind with great interest.
The trio turned their heads around to look, and they were surprised and delighted. They quickly saluted him respectfully.
"Elder Lin."
"Elder Lin!"
His tone was respectful and sincere.
"… Tell me about the competition."
The old man in the Tang suit stared at the screen with an amiable expression. As one of the creators of World of Martial Arts, Elder Lin was a modern martial artist. He was a senior and teacher to many of the famous people in the Martial Arts Association. Aside from possessing and recording many of the martial arts styles from China, he had even created some of them himself. His contributions in perfecting World of Martial Arts' martial arts system could not go unnoticed!
If it were not for him, the launch of World of Martial Arts might have been delayed by at least three years.
"If nothing goes wrong, the champion of this tournament should be this young man."
One of them quickly stepped forward and brought up one of the battle scenes on the screen. He pointed at the blue-robed young man on the screen and said.
"Oh?" The old man in the Tang suit was just in time to see Happy send his opponent flying out of the arena with two simple and straightforward palm strikes. His eyes lit up, and surprise appeared on his face.
With his experience, it was not difficult for him to recognize that Happy used Shaolin's Long Fist. His control over his strength, the timing when he cut into the enemy's defense line, and the angle … His pupils shrank.
"Talented."
The old man in the Tang suit nodded slowly and gave a very high evaluation of the person on the screen.
"He's indeed powerful. Up until now, three Blessed Realm players have died in his hands. The remaining Gate Realm contestants don't even have the ability to fight back." The male staff member who was observing the tournament stopped what he was doing and answered with a serious expression, "He's from South China Martial Arts Ranking Board, and he's a student."
"Yes."
The old man in the Tang suit observed for a while and nodded.
"It's good to be a student. You're young, hot-blooded, and full of drive. It's also easier for you to absorb and digest martial arts. If you can understand the true meaning of the word 'chivalry' in China's ancient culture, World of Martial Arts will definitely be more exciting than what you can imagine."
"That's right."
The staff member's face was also filled with confidence.
"By the way, it's been more than three months. Isn't it about time to launch the first event you've designed?" The old man in the Tang suit suddenly asked, but his eyes were still fixed on the blue-robed masked youth on the big screen.
"Tomorrow."
The trio looked at each other and smiled.
Three months of preparation has allowed the players to understand the basic situation of World of Martial Arts, but we can't turn our game into a pickle game. If we just focus on training, we'll lose the fun. From tomorrow onwards, the disciples of the sects and aristocratic families will receive quests to be involved in the conflict in the game! "
"Jianghu is heartless and bloody, but it is also chivalrous and tender at the same time!" The female staff member by the side pushed up her glasses and showed a unique intellectual air. "Only those who have truly entered World of Martial Arts will have the chance to experience the charm of World of Martial Arts. Those who purely train to level up will never be able to become truly powerful."
"I look forward to that day."
The old man in the Tang suit was still smiling. His eyes lingered on the screen for a while before he turned around and left under the reverent gazes of the other three.
…
What happened was different from what he had planned. To obtain the rewards given by the official developers, Happy changed his original plan. Not only did he kill the other two Blessed Realm players in a domineering manner, he also successfully became the champion of the martial arts tournament. In fact, he even helped South China Martial Arts Ranking Board reach the top spot among the official developers.
South China Martial Arts Ranking Board instantly became the hot topic of discussion among countless players on the official website. The mysterious Gate Realm martial artist who only showed up in public was also treated like a deity by many Gate Realm players.
It was not for anything else …
He had won three battles, and there was no doubt about his strength.
At the moment he became the champion, the University of South China burst into an uproar! The students, regardless of whether they were male or female, rushed to each classroom in high spirits to spread the good news that Happy had become the champion of the martial arts tournament.
The most excited were none other than the Three Lonely Wolves and Xu Xin.
Happy's outstanding performance had indeed exceeded their expectations. If it were not because they had already discussed about the events to come, they would have held another celebration banquet for their victory.
Happy's victory made even more people descend into a frenzy! Many students, including Phoenix Dances, tried to get to the bottom of Happy's true identity. They did everything they could, and quite a number of people even intended to secretly get information from the Three Lonely Wolves.
Unfortunately …
Everything was useless.
The Three Lonely Wolves kept their mouths shut, and during the crucial moment, they mentioned that they would broadcast Happy's interview in the form of text at night. This shocking news caused the number of registered members in South China Martial Arts Ranking Board to increase by leaps and bounds. It originally had less than six thousand people, and it rose to more than nine thousand people.
The people from the academies nearby applied to join South China Martial Arts Ranking Board.
However …
Happy, the person in question, became someone who did nothing. He returned to the game to receive his reward.
Happy saw Dragon Tiger Sect's Nangong Ying next to the governor of Gusu City. She had a veil over her face, and she sat beside the doorsill in a daze, as if she was waiting for someone.
When she heard movement, Nangong Ying's eyes lit up, and she stood up swiftly.
"I knew that you would definitely win until the end. Congratulations on becoming the champion of the offline martial arts tournament."
"Yeah," Happy answered faintly.
He was not interested in the congratulations of his former enemy.
Nangong Ying did not mind. She moved lightly and arrived beside Happy, and a fragrance wafted into his nose.
Happy frowned slightly, but he did not show too much impatience. He just felt that the woman had changed too quickly, and it was difficult for him to get used to it.
He took a stack of silver notes from the governor's hands and a martial art manual with silver borders. There were a few golden words written on the manual — Demon Subduing Staff!
It was a high-tier martial art from Shaolin Temple's Arhat Staff Technique.
Happy was slightly disappointed.
Staff techniques were not his cup of tea. He would have to find a chance in the future to get a saber technique or a sword technique manual.
But …
There was another reward for the champion of the martial arts tournament. He could ask for a high-tier martial art, and without hesitation, Happy asked for Flowering Knights' Saber Technique's high-tier martial art — Flowering Knights' Song.
Once he took the manual, Happy tossed it into his Universe Bag without even looking at it. He did not give Nangong Ying the chance to pry into it, and he left the mansion without turning his head back.
Nangong Ying stood behind him with a dumbfounded expression. After a long while, when Happy's figure disappeared into the distance, she registered what had happened and snorted angrily.
She had lived for twenty-three years, and this was the first time she was treated like this by a man!
"What's so great about it? Aren't you just a little stronger and a little more handsome? A little more personality? You're so cocky! Hmph! I'll teach you a lesson in the future! "Nangong Ying grumbled in anger and left the mansion in a huff.
