Chapter 651: Black Pigeons All Over the Sky
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The development of events was against everyone’s expectations!
When Happy struck the roof of the living room of Towering Palace’s headquarters, the system automatically listed his actions as a hostile act to the palace . Countless black messenger pigeons reporting this event instantly landed in the hands of all Towering Palace members within the area .
The contents of the letter were all the same .
[The headquarters have been attacked by an enemy! Hurry up and go back to provide reinforcements!]
*****
Black pigeons danced everywhere in the sky!
It instantly created the atmosphere of a major war .
Palace Master Clear Music could only watch with wide and helpless eyes as the situation swiftly turned from bad to worse . Countless members surged into the hall and surrounded the living room with their weapons drawn .
Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the other veterans were incredibly anxious .
The chaos made it hard for them to control the situation .
And at that moment, Grim Green had decided to request for battle and forced Happy out of the living room .
Boom!
When a large sword glare that tore through the air and was as bright as the moon before dawn rose, Happy laughed heartily and turned in the air to avoid Grim Green’s astonishing slash . He laughed loudly .
“I see, so it’s the successor of Nine Solitary Swords . It’s no wonder then why Tower Master Palace doesn’t regard me as a threat! Very well .
“In the past, White-haired Feng Qingyang used his Nine Solitary Swords to make even the demons and gods fear him! Ling Huchong only mastered six of it, but it was enough for him to wander about freely in the world of martial artists! I wonder how many moves you have already inherited, Vice Palace Master Grim . I will ask you for your guidance!”
Grim Green said nothing . He stopped attacking for a moment, and his expression turned dark .
“As expected of the top ranked player on Famous People Rank . I didn’t expect that you would be able to recognize Nine Solitary Swords . Did you meet Feng Qingyang and Ling Huchong before?”
“If you want to fight, then fight . Why bother with so much nonsense?”
When Happy landed on the empty ground in front of the headquarters, he was still dressed in blue robes . There was a bold and happy smile on his face, and his fighting spirit burned . He did not have the awe-inspiring presence around him reduced just because of the hostile lineup of people around him .

But the Towering Palace members around him seemed like they could not quite handle his presence .
Once he circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill at full power, his robes fluttered madly as if there was a violent gust of wind blowing at him . An astonishingly hot wave swept outwards from him, and it crashed into the faces of many people . The heat was unbearable, and they had to activate their body fortifications to withstand it .
Thud!
Thud! Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Most players had never experienced such a high-end battle . Some of them were so nervous that they thought that it was the effect from Wind Spirit Spin and pulled the trigger on their crossbows, which sent bolts flying in the air .
Their actions lit up a fire under a powder keg, and quite a lot of people in the area lost it!
In the blink of an eye, bolts came at Happy in an endless stream .
When it came to close distance, the damage and speed of crossbow bolts was much stronger than that of arrows!
Grim Green’s expression did not change . He tightened his grip over the hilt of his longsword and drew it lightly . He kept his eyes fixed on the changes occuring in Happy’s body .
When Happy moved—
Clang!
Grim Green attacked without hesitation .
When Happy was surrounded by a storm of bolts, he seemed to be in a perilous situation . Grim Green’s sword slash was also executed at a perfect moment . He seized the moment Happy dodged the bolts, and became one with his sword that charged through the storm of bolts .
Clear Music and the others chased after them, and they were just in time to see Happy clash against Grim Green .
Bang!
They felt the world before them sway .
The sound of a solid impact came from the air . No one could see what exactly happened, but Clear Music as well as the others noticed that Grim Green, an elite who was ranked at the fourth place on Dragon Rank, fell to the ground like a cannonball .
“And that’s all there is to the fourth place on Dragon Rank! Looks like you’ll need to train a little harder!”
A hearty laugh came from the air .
Thud!
It was clear that Grim Green had extraordinary skills . Once he was sent flying off the air, he quickly regained his balance while airborne . He landed heavily on the ground with his feet and one hand, but his face was pale .
Clear Music and a group of other players swiftly ran behind Grim Green . When they saw that there were no injuries on his body and that his body fortification was not torn, they instantly released a breath of relief .

“Are you alright?”
“The strongest in the world is indeed not to be underestimated . ”
Grim Green calmed down the raging blood in his heart, and an anguished smile showed up on his lips .
He had thought that he could injure Happy with the sudden storm of bolts, but he did not expect that Happy’s spiritual senses would be so strong that he could remain calm and relaxed . He dodged all projectiles and even defended himself against the sword attack .
The strike Grim Green had been certain would be able to take Happy down missed, and he was sent flying back with a kick .
“I always thought that a normal student would not be too powerful, but by the looks of it now, I’ve been arrogant and underestimated him . ”
Grim Green’s words caused Clear Music and the others to feel their hearts sink .
Grim Green was a Dragon Rank elite that Clear Music had recently recruited because she valued the fact that he could quickly enter Dragon Rank and increase his strength . She had even held her ground and promoted him to a vice palace master .
She had also used an unyielding tone when she faced Happy because Towering Palace had recruited a group of extraordinary elites .
But there seemed to still be quite the distance between Grim Green and Happy .
“AH!”
“AAHH!”
Screams of pain traveled forth .
A tense look appeared in Clear Music’s eyes, and she looked up .
Happy was unharmed after his exchange with Grim Green .
But the crossbow attacks from the Towering Palace members had clearly angered him . Once he landed on the empty ground, he put away his longsword, and his palms stirred up repeated dragon roars .
While they howled in the air, the Towering Palace members felt as if they were struck by a cannonball and were sent flying into another group of Towering Palace members . They were instantly sent sprawling all over the ground .
The strength of the top ranked player on Famous People Rank and the strongest in the game was displayed to its fullest at that moment!
*****
“All of you are violating the laws! Come down!”
“Our shops are about to collapse with so many of you above!”
The girl, the white-bearded old man, and a group of martial artists ignored the scolding from the employees of the shops and stood at the top of a restaurant to watch from above . Their gazes were fixed on the headquarters of Towering Palace, which was not far from them .
There was a large group of Towering Palace members, but there were only a few of them who could truly threaten Happy in such a chaotic situation . However, they could not gain a footing in the fight at all .
Once Grim Green was sent retreating with just one move, the Towering Palace members simply could not gain a firm foothold . They were sent scattering away like sandbags and coughed up blood while flying away .
Happy bulldozed ahead as if he had entered an area without anyone around him .
The elites from the foreign powers were flabbergasted when they saw that .
It was especially shocking for people who previously thought that Happy was nothing . At that moment, they stopped talking and stared at the young man from whose attacks dragon’s roars came out nonstop while his momentum increased to an astonishing degree . They could not hide the shock in their eyes .
“He’s so amazing . ”
“This is Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms! It’s an ultimate technique from Beggar’s Sect, right?”
The teenage girl stared at the roaring golden dragon that was swimming about and charging forward through the headquarters of Towering Palace . She was brimming in excitement as if she was the one who was executing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms .
The white-bearded old man grinned while he stroked his beard and said something that shocked the people beside him . “That boy is about to gain both money and fame again . ”
Then, quite a number of people who were recording the fight came to a realization and looked at him with anguish .
“Senior, you’re right . This is such a magnificent first person group fight, so Happy will definitely turn it into a battle replay and upload it on the pay-to-view system . Once he does that, there is no way that we will have a chance to sell our battle replays . ”
He stopped talking for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed to one of extreme yearning . It was as if his face was a book, and someone had just flipped to another page to change it . “But this is good as well! It’ll be pretty good if we can personally sense this fight . I wonder how Grim Green was forced back with just one move . ”
“Look!”
“Clear Music joined the fray! She finally can’t stand just watching from the side!”

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

With his parents in shock and his best friend suffering from unbearable guilt, Damien finds himself without much support. Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
