Chapter 67: Remember My Name!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only people like Happy, who had extraordinary memories, could be able to recognize a person’s martial arts and the background of that martial art based on the different skills the person used by linking them to the skills in his memories.

It was also because of this that Happy was incredible shocked and his expression grew solemn when before he had been very relaxed!

Reversed Dual Swordplay was completely different from True Dual Swordplay.

True Dual Swordplay was a traditional and general martial art. Each of its skills was predictable, and its focus was on training the body. It had limited lethality. However, as a high-tier martial arts, Reverse Dual Swordplay was just like any other high-tier martial arts despite having extremely low requirements to learn and was created for the sake of killing.

Each of its attacks went for an angle no one could fend against, and it aimed for the most vital spots on the human body. No one could defend against this martial art when the entire set of skills was executed. If they let down their guard even in the slightest, they would die on the spot.

Also, if the fighting power of a high-tier martial art was like that of a modern firearm, then the fighting power of a low-tier martial art was like a premodern combat weapon like broadswords, longspears, and the like. The difference in strength between the two was incredibly clear.

It was just plain suicide for person using a low-tier martial art to go up against a high-tier martial art!

Even though the level of Orochimaru’s Reverse Dual Swordplay was not high, his lethality, speed, and Body Movement were not something that an amateur who had just reached Gate Realm could handle. One Circle might seem to not be danger on the stage, but in truth, if he did not rely on Iron Shirt’s extremely powerful defense, he would have been killed by Orochimaru a long time ago.

By then, One Circle was already drenched in sweat. The gashes on his body were deeper than before. If this lasted for a little longer, Orochimaru would get a thorough grasp of all of his weaknesses and find the weakness of Iron Shirt. Then, One Circle would lose!

When he saw this, the relaxed look on Happy’s face was completely gone. In its place was a solemness and amazement that had never appeared on his face before.

It has to be known that if a person wanted to practice a high-tier martial art, not only would they need to have the corresponding martial art in Grandmaster Realm, their qi realm, innate attributes, and all the other requirements had to meet the requirements before could practice that martial art!

Even though World of Martial Arts had been launched for nearly three months, and in Happy’s memories of his previous life, there had been one player who had reached Gate Realm within one month and Blessed Realm within one and a half months (he was the fastest player to reach both realms), when the game had just been launched, all the players groped about in the dark and had zero experience about the game. They did not have the walkthroughs that appeared later on and or any experience in how to proceed. Hence, if he could reach Blessed Realm within such a short period of time, that would mean that Orochimaru was actually a very terrifying person.

If Happy did not exist, there would be no one who could stop Orochimaru from reaching the top spot in the ranking board for the powerful in South China Martial Arts Ranking Board!

Naturally, Happy did not have absolute confidence that he could win against Orochimaru now, since he had a high-tier martial art.

But fortunately, he noticed it early on.

If he only noticed this when they fought against each other, it would have been tragic!

No matter which high-tier martial art a person had, they could counter all low-tier martial arts. Even if he had a lot of experience, there was still more than a 70% chance that he would die in Orochimaru’s hands if he wanted to win against him using his experience with low-tier martial arts.

Happy was silent. He felt embarrassed.

He originally thought that since he returned to the past, he would, without a doubt, stand at the top of World of Martial Arts with his three years of experience in the game. But by the looks of it now, there might be quite a number of people who were as powerful as Orochimaru, but had simply decided to keep a low profile.

As he became vigilant, the victor between Orochimaru and One Circle was finally decided.

Qi was required to keep Iron Shirt activated. Besides, he used it to defend against a high-tier martial art. After lasting for a few minutes, One Circle was covered in internal injuries. When he noticed that he had run out of qi, he admitted defeat and ended the battle in a stroke of wisdom.

However, judging by Orochimaru’s expression, he had not had his fill of the battle. He glared at the fatty who returned to the space for the audience with a dark look. After some time, he noticed Happy, who had appeared at the bottom of the stage after having ended his fight in Group A a long time ago.

“Hmph!” Orochimaru snorted coldly and went for his last opponent in Group B—Glutinous Rice!

‘Very good.’

Happy knew that Orochimaru did not regard anyone as his equal because he had the fact that he was at Blessed Realm hidden and because he had a high-tier martial art as his killing weapon. Happy was also happy that the man thought of things this way.

The more the man underestimated him, the higher Happy’s chances of winning became.

However, when he noticed that Orochimaru’s last opponent was his first opponent in the tournament, he could not help but rise an eyebrow, and a solemn expression showed up on his face.

The girl hadn’t had a chance to show her strength to him because Happy had attacked too quickly and viciously. Now, he could see just what sort of abilities this Glutinous Rice had that allowed her to win against multiple opponents and stand among the University of South China’s top ten players.

*****

Before Happy had even looked at Glutinous Rice, she had noticed the masked boy under the stage. This was the bastard who had made her lose terribly for the first time ever in World of Martial Arts, and it was even during the first round of the first fight in the martial arts tournament. She did not even manage to parry one of his attacks before she was kicked off the stage.

The moment she lost the fight, the bastard hadn’t even looked at her!

It was the first time she was underestimated by a boy in such a manner. Her whole existence had been ignored...

It was like a stain she could not get rid of from her life, and it made her incredibly angry and upset. From then on, she swore in her heart that as long as she had the chance, she would definitely take revenge for herself.

No matter who stood in front of her, she would defeat all her enemies and stand in front of that bastard again. She would make him look her in the eye and acknowledge her abilities! She would make him remember her name!

Glutinous Rice looked away and stood in front of Orochimaru.

One moment ago, this opponent had given her unprecedented pressure, and she felt as if she had no hope of winning, but Happy’s arrival had ignited her fighting spirit again, and she burned with an indomitable will for revenge!

Curiosity lit up in Orochimaru’s eyes.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed that the girl had lost all her fighting spirit. It was a surprise to him when in the blink of an eye, she emanated a great murderous aura. It was interesting.

His swords flashed. Orochimaru quickly squashed down his curiosity and put on a brutal sneer.

After all, he was only two fights away from seizing the title of the strongest among all the players from the University of South China. He might as well leave behind an even more interesting show for his juniors to remember his name.

Right at the start of the battle, Orochimaru pounced on Glutinous Rice like a phantom!

He was so quick that it was shocking.

However, after Glutinous Rice experienced her first devastating failure, she learned what swift battles were from Happy, and from the moment she moved out from among the audience, her entire mind and soul were in battle mode. Hence, even though she felt that Orochimaru’s momentum was imposing and aggressive, she did not panic.

She flicked her wrist, and the shadows of white swords instantly appeared in rows. They looked like waves while they overlapped each other to stand in front of her. They resembled a shield formed by sword glares, and they appeared just in time to seal Orochimauru’s first wave of attacks. He was forced to bypass the swords to reach her.

“Chaotic Cloaked Sword!”

The sword shadows were like the waves in the sea. They were endless and roared while they traveled forward. They showed a beautiful but dangerous picture on the stage, and Happy’s eyes lit up when he saw this. Surprise appeared on his face.

Emei Sect’s Chaotic Cloaked Sword specialized in using gentle moves to counter fierce attacks, along with using slow movements to counter swift attacks. By the looks of it, Glutinous Rice had not just entered Grandmaster Realm with this martial art, but had also understood its essence!

Her heart and soul were one with the sword...

‘Orochimari might need to spend some effort to win this fight.’

Happy found something in Glutinous Rice that astonished and amazed him.
