Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060 – : The Situation Took a Swift Turn to the Worse
Chapter 1060: The Situation Took a Swift Turn to the Worse
In less than half a day, a few major pieces of news exploded in the Chinese server like bombs.
In the beginning was Evil Emperor’s arrival in the Chinese server.
In less than half an hour, Happy died, and then Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters at Beijing had its defense line completely torn.
It was followed by Phantasmal Shadow’s death, along with tens of thousands of Wind Assault Tower members being killed. The headquarters was also completely destroyed.
Even though Happy’s fight against Evil Emperor had caused many players to be shocked, many people began responding to Phantasmal Shadow’s call to arms and began to take initiative by gathering their people to head to Beijing to provide reinforcements, One Emperor appeared in Beijing, and the four Beijing sects finally decided to take action and prepare a counterattack against Class One Hall, this good situation did not last for long!
The twelve Beijing sects gave up on their headquarters, and in the subsequent hours, the people coming from everywhere to Beijing died in many strategic locations and the government-made roads outside Beijing. Every inch of the ground outside Beijing was covered in blood, and hundreds of thousands of people died.
For the next few hours, no one dared to get close to Beijing at all.
Class One Hall gave up on their headquarters in Beijing, and in less than one hour, they aggressively destroyed the four Beijing sects who joined Wind Assault Tower and killed more than ten thousand people.
The members of the four Beijing sects were now dragged into the war in Beijing, and they had no home to return to.
Dream Clouds’ iron fist strategy was subsequently launched. More than one hundred thousand Class One Hall members and their affiliated sects closed off the area tightly by setting up sentry posts once every few steps. All the movements of those from Wind Assault Tower and those from the four sects were completely monitored, and none were missing.
In this situation, no one, regardless of whether they were from Wind Assault Tower or the four Beijing sects dared step out of the city!
At the same time, the cities in the Chinese server faced all sorts of nightmares.
Quite a few local sects and elites from everywhere had volunteered to attack Class One Hall’s branches, but while they attacked, they faced stubborn resistance.
After they sacrificed a large number of people to invade the branch, the branches started releasing news that caused their hearts to become cold.
A group of non-Chinese players appeared one after another in the branches. They came from Persia, Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, America, and other countries, and they were all the aces in those countries. At the same time, the best of the best in Wild Wolves also showed. They worked together with the people from Blood Alliance and the twelve Beijing sects in the other cities to attack the people from everywhere until they were beaten to a bloody pulp.
Smoke rose from everywhere, and very few regions sent news of victory against Class One Hall and Blood Alliance.
Most of the regions were still controlled tightly by Class One Hall. In fact, Class One Hall had launched a counterattack and destroyed quite a number of local sects.
When the war entered the tenth hour, a rather famous sect in the Chinese server, known as Heavenly Physician Sect gathered people from everywhere along with multiple top-class elites on Dragon Rank and Phoenix to destroy one Class One Hall branch and one Blood Alliance branch.

But this good situation did not last. Before the heavily damaged Heavenly Physician Sect could recover their strength, they were destroyed within half an hour by thousands of Class One Hall members who rushed over to provide reinforcements. Their branches everywhere suffered the most vicious attacks very soon because of Class One Hall’s vengeance. From then on, Heavenly Physician Sect no longer existed in the Chinese server.
Dream Clouds’ iron fist tactic near Beijing, the hidden strength in her branches, and her forceful as well as ruthless vengeance was like a basin of cold water that mercilessly extinguished many of the Chinese factions’ thoughts of attacking her.
Unless they had the strength to fight against Class One Hall, then they will have their sects destroyed once they took action.
The war lasted for half a day.
Dream Clouds put on Class One Hall’s announcement online to show that this time, they were only working temporarily with Wild Wolves. This was a one-time deal, and she had to use such a forceful method mainly because she wanted to fight against Wind Assault Tower and One Emperor. Even though her statement could not justify her actions, Dream Clouds publicly announced that all those who did not attack Class One Hall’s branch was Class One Hall’s friend, and Class One Hall would not infringe their personal interests. But once they took action, Class One Hall would not rest until one of them died.
“How conceited!”
Young Yi and Xu Yao read the announcement in the hospital room, and their expressions turned very dark once they understood it. Then, they worriedly looked in the same direction.
“Huff… huff…”
Every time he tightened the muscles in his abdomen, he would breathe in and out rhythmically. Some sweat rolled off his forehead, but Happy did not seem to have noticed it. He would just lie down repeatedly after he got up before he tightened his muscles again and got up, and he stared at his knees with resolution and solemness.
“You’ve done that 139 times, Happy. Do you want to rest for a while?”
“Master, your body is drenched. You have to be careful not to catch a cold.”
The two ladies spoke.
Happy did not answer them. His gaze was as calm as water. He just continued doing sit-ups on the mattress he borrowed temporarily from the hospital at his own pace. He had been training for a few months, and right now, not only had his body completely recovered, in fact, he was in a much better condition than when he was healthy.
“Big Sis Yao Yao, what should we do? This matter seems to have given him quite the shock.”
When Young Yi saw Happy just focusing on training without saying anything and having sweat pour down from his body, she was a little frightened. She did not dare say anything else to Happy but tugged Xu Yao and whispered to her.
Xu Yao said nothing. Over the past few months, she had gradually become happier, but today, when she saw Happy reacting like this, she felt a little resigned.
She had heard about what happened in World of Martial Arts.
Things were not as simple as them losing at the first round of the war.
Because of a wrong estimation, they did not expect that Evil Emperor would send a large group of elites from various countries and the aces of Wild Wolves into the Chinese server.
Wind Assault Tower’s vigorous counterattack not only did not produce the desired effect, they had even lost all their people because of it.

Wind Assault Tower had nearly one hundred thousand people in Beijing, and all of them were crippled. Aside from those who had Illusion Life and Death Pills and could recover to the peak of their condition, the rest could not do anything to Class One Hall within one month.
Since their branches in the Chinese server did not know that a large group of Wild Wolves elites had been sent into Class One Hall’s branches, when they attacked Class One Hall’s branches, they lost more than three hundred thousand people.
Not only had Wind Assault Tower lost dozens of branches, the number of people and branches they lost never stopped.
The strongest sect that once ruled over the Chinese server fell from its throne.
Class One Hall had not only completed the most difficult step with Wild Wolves’ help and aggressively gained total control of the situation in the Chinese server, they had even pushed the war to its end. They now intended to wipe out all the remnants who intended to fight against Class One Hall.
Once this step was launched, Wind Assault Tower would definitely be the first target they would eliminate!
Then, they would destroy the four Beijing sects and the stubborn ones still resisting them.
“Don’t worry, I’ve gotten through the stage of being in coma, and that bit of setback in the game is nothing.” Happy did not wait for Xu Yao to speak again. He decisively stopped training and laid on the mattress with his limbs spread. At the same time he gasped for breath, he said in a rather steady tone, “It might be regretful that we lost this battle, but it’s not to the point where it’ll push me into despair just yet.”
“That’s right.”
“True.”
“It’s good that you think that way.” Xu Yao and Young Yi acknowledged what he said without hesitation. But these two ladies knew very clearly that Happy seemed to have gone through severe shock while he was in coma, and now, the power setup in the Chinese server had changed greatly, Class One Hall had become the greatest power here and the giant that was Wild Wolves was supporting Dream Clouds. Happy’s hopes for revenge had become even smaller, and this might become the source that might push him off the edge. At this moment of time, there was no way they would easily say anything that might trigger him.
Happy cast the two women a glance before he sighed in resignation, but said nothing. He just knew that these two would definitely not believe him.
Indeed, the situation right now was much worse than when he initially woke up.
Right now, not only had Dream Clouds made preparations to destroy all of Wind Assault Tower’s branches, the situation at Beijing had also become worse. Phantasmal Shadow and her one hundred thousand Wind Assault Tower members were stuck in Beijing. They were surrounded by Class One Hall’s spies. The area outside Beijing was filled with people from the twelve Beijing sects. If they walked out, they would only die.
But the other cities could no longer send forward presentable reinforcements into Beijing. The Wind Assault Tower members were in a dire situation. Right now, no one even dared to lend their sect prisons to Phantasmal Shadow, because they faced the danger of possibly having their sect destroyed at any time.
It was no wonder why these two women would be so worried, to the point that they would be so nervous when he did a few more sit ups than usual. Right now, everyone knew just how difficult Phantasmal Shadow and Wind Assault Tower’s situation was.
Right now, Class One Hall had control over Beijing.
Even though One Emperor had extraordinary sword will, it was impossible for him to overturn Beijing by himself. After all, the hundreds of top-class elites in Class One Hall were not for show.
Demonic Zither Wind Chimes had already received a call from Wandering Know-it-all telling her that unless this matter came to an end, she was to absolutely not return to the game, because the Prophet had already located the spot where Wind Chimes logged off, and Class One Hall had already set up no fewer than one thousand elites around the spot where she logged off.
Dream Clouds wanted to use everything she had to destroy Wind Chimes’ Nine Yin Blocked Pulses.
*****
The Iron Triangle Alliance in the Chinese server was in a perilous situation.
One Emperor could not save the situation, because there was no suitable target for him to attack.
Phantasmal Shadow only had strength and status in name. Wind Assault Tower’s members suffered devastating losses. Their enemy was too great, and she was currently incredibly conflicted between thinking about breaking out of the encirclement alone or leading her tower members to break out of the encirclement.
Wandering Know-it-all had a transcendent status in the game, but he could not protect his sole disciple.
The Iron Triangle Alliance had completely lost to Dream Clouds, Evil Emperor, and the Prophet in this war!
*****
The flames of war seemed to have extended into reality from the game as well.
As the final and sturdiest wall in World of Martial Arts was taken down by Wild Wolves, men and women who talked about this matter indignantly could be seen everywhere in the hospital and the streets.
*****
Bai Lang, Chen Fan, and Qi Ci sat stiffly before the table in the living room in their apartment near the University of South China. The air was foul, causing the already tense and frozen atmosphere to become even more complicated.
“I originally thought that we could have a chance to rise to power again once we destroy Class One Hall so that we can summon all the former Beautiful Robes Faction members back. I didn’t expect that we would end up like this.”
Qi Ci had a cigarette between his lips for more than ten minutes. When he was snapped out of his stupor because of the heat from the cigarette butt, he smiled bitterly and snuffed out the cigarette on the ashtray, which had a cigarette holder placed beside it.
Once he finished speaking, Bai Lang spoke up to continue the conversation.
“Happy has done all he can. He killed a lot of people from Class One Hall and even fought to a tie with Evil Emperor. Besides, he doesn’t know the details about Wild Wolves either. This time, Phantasmal Shadow didn’t plan thoroughly, and she underestimated Wild Wolves too much.”
“We can’t blame Phantasmal Shadow entirely. No one would be able to think that Evil Emperor would send such a huge team over. He mobilized a large number of elites from dozens of countries and snuck them secretly into the Chinese server, and he even sent more than one thousand Wild Wolves elites over. This might be the biggest plan Evil Emperor has ever launched.”
“Enough with this topic. Let’s go to the hospital later and meet Happy one last time. Then, we should split up and head home.” Once he said the last sentence, Chen Fan could not help but curse in a self-deprecating manner, “Also, stop smoking so much, you bastards. All that smoke is getting into my eyes.”

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
