Chapter 1196 - Top-grade Contribution Quest for the Sect

Chapter 1196: Top-grade Contribution Quest for the Sect

“How’s your training with Four Matchless Sword Formation?”

The first sentence Happy mentioned immediately pulled Silver Wolf and his party’s attention back from Thousand-faced Human Fox.

The four of them exchanged a solemn look.

Before they came to the desert, they had received a messenger pigeon from Happy.

At that time, he had asked them whether they were willing to practice the high-grade sword formation—Four Matchless Sword Formation.

In the beginning, they had been rather against the idea.

After all, a sword formation was a fighting skill that required teamwork. Four people were needed to use it together before they could bring out its great power. It was a different idea from what they envisioned themselves doing in the game—to use their own swords to travel through the lands.

But after Silver Wolf thought about it carefully, he convinced Knife, Bar, and Thunder to try it.

One of the reasons was because Happy would not have asked them to practice something useless for no reason. The other reason was because it was now normal for the players to be in Inaction Realm, and they would be staying for a long time in that qi realm. Even if they managed to get to that stage, they would not be able to get a bigger breakthrough within a short period of time.

Also, Wild Wolves was an international mercenary group who had extraordinary skills. Silver Wolf and his party would only be able to reach their level if they trained using the conventional route.

In the end, Silver Wolf decided to try it.

And reality showed that Four Matchless Sword Formation was indeed an unusual sword formation. It was a high-grade sword formation from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction!

Even though Four Matchless Sword Formation required four people to practice it at the same time, it was not a full-developed sword technique. Instead, it was a very high-class fusion skill that fused aura and the mind together.

Those who practiced Four Matchless Sword Formation would get better teamwork. They could work in concert with each other and use their friends’ true qi flow to form an aura. Then, it could increase their strength to the point that their qi realm could increase when they used the sword formation.

This discovery caused Silver Wolf to be delighted.

Even though Four Matchless Sword Formation was not of much help when it came to increasing a person’s individual strength, but when they gathered together, their strength could increase by a small margin. In fact, they could even fight against people in the peak of Myth Realm, and this was when their mastery of the sword formation was just at the fifth realm.

Knife, Bar, and Thunder became completely convinced by Silver Wolf’s judgment, and they also believed that Happy now regarded them differently.

Right now, when Happy asked them about this, Silver Wolf naturally answered honestly, “Sect Master, your recommendation is naturally not bad. Our Four Matchless Sword Formation is just at the fifth realm, and we already have fifty percent of our strength increased. We can already fight against those in the later stage of Myth Realm. When we completely master Four Matchless Sword Formation and we fight together, it will be equivalent to four people in Myth Realm fighting together. No one aside from you, One Emperor, and Evil Emperor will not be our opponent in the game.”

“Not bad.”

Happy nodded a little. “Four Matchless Sword Formation is a technique to defend a sect, and it can only be learned by the elders of the Sword of Heavenly Faction. If you’re able to bring out its potential to this degree, then it shows your potential and strength. I didn’t make a misjudgment.”

“Thank you for recognizing our worth and cultivating us, Sect Master.”

When Happy heard this, he said, “I gave you Four Matchless Sword Formation, because there is no one else in the sect who is more suited than the four of you to learn this. Besides, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I asked you to come to the desert to help me because you have the requirements to practice this sword formation.”

“Sect Master, please give us your instructions.”

Silver Wolf had naturally been told about this a long time ago. When he heard this, he said, “We had not been able to contact you just now, and since the quests for Dragon Gate Inn were activated, we wasted a little time coming here.”

“The rewards for the quests from Dragon Gate Inn aren’t that great. We can give up on it,” Happy said, “When we’re done with this, you can go and get a contribution reward for doing a top-grade sect quest.”

“Top-grade?!”

Silver Wolf’s heart trembled.

Even though it had not been long since he joined Lovely Land, they were already very familiar with the series of rules and regulations in Lovely Land. They had also memorized how they could contribute to the sect and get rewards.

The number of points given to a contribution in the sect were written down, and it varied from one point to ten thousand points. With more points in hand, they could get the high-grade items from the sect storage.

Most of the items in normal sects were consumable items, and at most, they had useless demon vessels contained in them, and they were not attractive to the players at all.

But due to the large-scale battles Lovely Land participated in, there were a lot of demon vessels, divine weapons, and high-grade minerals as well as herbs contained in the sect storage. There were all sports of items in the sect storage, and Happy had also put in a few high-grade divine weapons from his personal storage, which stimulated the sect members’ passion in gathering contribution points.

But the contribution rewards for the sect were harder to gather than contribution points for the sect.

The contribution rewards for top-grade sect quests meant that the sect members had completed a high difficulty quest that the higher-level management had assigned to them, and this contribution reward was much more useful than obtaining tens of thousands for contribution points, because this meant that they could obtain a high-grade demon vessel of divine weapon.

“A contribution reward for a top-grade sect quest?”

Knife, Bar, and Thunder sucked in sharp breaths. They were a little excited.

Being able to obtain Four Matchless Sword Formation was already a great fortune for them. Right now, they had the chance to obtain a contribution reward for a top-grade sect quest, which meant that they could obtain the greatest high-grade divine weapons and demon vessels from the sect storage. There was no way that they could not be excited about it.

It had to be known that the requirement to get Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy was five contribution rewards for top-grade sect quests, and from this, it could be seen that the conditions Happy listed would not be easy to fulfill.

However, at that moment, Happy said something airily.

“It’s not just one. You have four people here, so if you succeed, each of you will get a contribution reward for a top-grade sect quest.

‘What?!’

Right after he said this, Knife, Bar, and Thunder’s expressions changed drastically, and they gulped. Even Silver Wolf, who had always remained cool and calm, had a red flush appear on his face. He subconsciously tightened his grip over his teacup.

Four contribution rewards for a top-grade sect quest. They did not even have to mention just how great the rewards were for this task...

The requirement to get Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy was just five contribution rewards. If they worked a little harder, they would be able to reach the requirements to obtain the legacy. Even if the legacy had already been listed as a reward for the competition that was going to be held in the sect, they could still choose other valuable martial art manuals or legacies from the sect storage.

For a period of time, everyone had their blood burn with passion!

“We’ll take the mission!”

Silver Wolf stated his decision with absolute certainty.

Knife, Bar, and Thunder stared at Happy with resolute and intense gazes to show that they were willing to act together with Silver Wolf.

Happy was not in a hurry. He coolly tasted the snow lotus tea. “This is a mission that will give you four contribution rewards for a top-grade sect quest, which means that the difficulty will be very great. Aren’t you going to think about it carefully?”

Silver Wolf answered, “We wouldn’t take a mission that isn’t dangerous. Since you chose the four of us, it means that you should be confident in us. Besides... our lives are not worth much. Since you’re not afraid, why should we? At most, we just have to go back to train for an extra month. What is the mission? Sect Master, just tell us.”

“Sect Master, do you want us to help you hold back the elites in the dao of heaven so that you can have the chance to seize Tiger Soul?” Knife’s mind worked quickly, and he was also very courageous in his words.

Happy shook his head and smiled. “It’s more or less along those lines, but Tiger Soul isn’t that attractive to me. Aside from this, you have something else even more important to do.”

“...”

All four of them instantly gained a somber air.

Based on Happy’s tone, seizing Tiger Soul isn’t their most important task, but just one part of the task. By the looks of it, this mission was indeed not something trivial.

“Since you want to snatch Tiger Soul, why did you come here? After all, it’s very far away from the battlefield. With your strength...” When he said this, Silver Wolf frowned and cast a glance at the mysterious old servant behind Happy. He continued, “You should have a high chance in getting Tiger Soul.”

“My main goal this time isn’t Tiger Soul. That divine weapon isn’t something normal people can get. First, I will need your scouting skills to figure out where those Wild Wolves are.”

“Wild Wolves?!”

Silver Wolf and his party had their expressions change, and they sucked in sharp breaths.

It was only at this moment that they finally understood why Happy placed Tiger Soul at secondary importance. So, Wild Wolves had actually sent their people into the Chinese plains!

Silver Wolf quickly understood what was going on.

Wild Wolves had definitely figured out the importance of the desert palace, and they must have definitely sent out a lot of members. If Happy were the only one from Lovely Land in the desert, it would be very difficult for him to kill all of them, and it would also be difficult for him to pay attention to the overall situation.

But Happy wanted to utilize just the attraction posed by Tiger Soul to cut off the claws that Wild Wolves had extended into the desert and the Chinese plains. He wanted to intimidate Wild Wolves once more, and it was only par for the course that he would need to use them, because even Wandering Know-it-all could not pinpoint a person’s precise location in the desert. Happy could not use it as a reference.

Without another word, Silver Wolf went straight to the point and asked Happy about how they should take action and when they should carry out their mission.

“We’re not in a hurry right now,” Happy replied faintly.

Silver Wolf and his party were stunned. They did not understand what he meant.

“I’ve already witnessed Tiger Soul’s might in the desert palace. This weapon is a destructive weapon in the hands of all those in the dao of heaven. Right now, it’s in Dongfang Bubai’s hands. Most of the thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards have already been heavily injured, and Tsao Suiyan is wounded as well. Even the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance can forget about snatching Tiger Soul from Dongfang Bubai’s hands while remaining unscatched. And if he can’t do it, Wild Wolves will have an even lesser chance in getting Tiger Soul from his hands.”

“Sect Master, are you saying...?”

Silver Wolf became even more confused as to what Happy was trying to say now.

Happy smiled and tapped against the table in a relaxed manner.

“Regardless of whether Wild Wolves has any contingency plans or whether they have the ability to seize Tiger Soul, at the end of the day, they must move past Flame Town if they want to leave the Chinese plains. I don’t care whether they have Tiger Soul in their hands or not, they will die in Flame Town. If they have Tiger Soul, it’s fine. By then, just help me clear out the area. I will first grab Tiger Soul. Then, I will kill them.” His words carried no killing intent whatsoever, but it managed to shock Silver Wolf and the others deeply.

“If Tiger Soul isn’t in their hands, what should we do?”

Knife suddenly butted in.

Bar and Thunder also put on attentive expressions.

No matter what, Tiger Soul was the strongest demon vessel during ancient times, and it had astonishing power. Whosoever was in possession of the item would have their strength increase by leaps and bounds, and they did not want Tiger Soul to land in anyone else’s hands.

Thud! Thud!

Happy tapped against the stone table lightly and instructed them once more, “As long as Tiger Soul remains in the Chinese plains, it will not be able to escape from Wandering Know-it-all’s eyes. Your most important task is to handle Wild Wolves and make sure that they don’t leave with it.” When he said this, he stopped talking for a moment. Then, his tone turned solemn. “I’m not afraid of whoever gets Tiger Soul, except Evil Emperor. If he does get the strongest catastrophic weapon during ancient times, it will be troublesome.”

Based on the information that Wandering Know-it-all had obtained from Universe Secrets Inkstone, Evil Emperor had been practicing the martial arts he obtained from Sky Demon Slip hard over this period of time, and he had improved once more. If he obtained Tiger Soul, he would become even stronger, and his plan to send his army out of the borders might have to change.

“...”

Silver Wolf and his party nodded with contemplative expressions on their faces.
