After Happy handed Wind Chimes and Xu Yao to the sect master of Zither Sect, he rushed back to Beijing and went straight back to Lovely Land’s headquarters so that he could personally host the final segment of the tournament—the tournament between the top one hundred!

The final tournament would be held in the tournament area that Lovely Land had applied to use. The space inside was very big, and it could contain hundreds of thousands of people. The price to open it for a day was ten million taels… of gold. But it was worth the price. If they wanted to contain all the people who received the hero’s invitations, they really needed some place this big. Besides, the imperial court’s elites were in charge of managing the order in the tournament area, so no one would be able to cause trouble inside, which spared them a lot of trouble.

The tournament area was very magnificent. When Happy arrived here, the place was already packed full of people, and it was full of life.

“Ji Feng!”

When he entered the area, Happy spread his spirit sense around and quickly noticed Ji Feng, who was at the seat reserved for the host. He was currently craning his neck with an anxious expression as he looked at the entrances. Happy smiled and took the initiative to send a private message.

“Sect Master, you’re finally here!”

The anxiety on Ji Feng’s face instantly vanished. With just a few steps, he leapt off the host’s seat. “If you’re any later, I wouldn’t know how to explain things to the people.”

Happy ignored Ji Feng’s relieved expression and looked around the area. While he continuously nodded at and greeted the familiar faces who kept popping up, he asked, “It’s not time for the competition yet, right?”

“That’s what I said, but once the tournament area was opened, all those with hero’s invitations surged in to occupy seats. We couldn’t stop them either. Look, now, the tournament area is full, but there are still familiar faces outside who are asking me to increase the seats so that they could come in. I don’t know how to answer them.”

“Then we’ll add an additional one hundred thousand seats!”

“It’s one hundred taels of gold for one seat…”

“Get ten million taels of gold. If you can’t bring it out of the sect storage, I’ll pay for it from my own pocket.”

“I can, of course I can!”

Ji Feng wiped off the cold sweat on his brow and made a sarcastic quip in his heart. ‘One hundred of our elites can only get a total of five million taels of gold as a reward. Yet you’re spending sixty million taels of gold for the people who are watching? This… is a losing trade no matter how I look at it.’

Of course, he would not say this to Happy to his face.

Happy would only give him orders during important times. He was the typical sect master in name only. But… Ji Feng was happy about that.

At the same time they added seats, Ji Feng and Happy both got on the stage for the hosts.

It was a seat similar to the alliance master of the world of martial arts.

Boom!

At the moment they went to their straights, loud cheers suddenly rose from all sides.

“Sect Master!”

“Sect Master Happy is here!”

“Welcome, Sect Master!”

Astonishing shouts tumbled out of countless Lovely Land members’ mouths, but those shouts were very unified.

The people who were waiting for the tournament were shocked. They were surprised by the cheers around them. Then, they were affected by the passion of the Lovely Land members. At the same time, they stared at the white-clad young man who stood at the center of the stage for the hosts.

The players who had the chance to enter because of the additional seats surged in from all directions, and they were shocked by the additional sound as well. They thought that the tournament had already started, but when they heard the words clearly, they had their questions answered.

But they became even more excited. They must absolutely not miss such a grand and magnificent scene!

Happy was originally shocked by the unified sounds that came at him suddenly, but when he thought about it carefully, he turned his head around to look at Ji Feng. He then saw him tilt his head upward to stare at some spot on the ceiling. Ji Feng had a profound look on his face, as if he was examining it.

There was no need to deny it, this was definitely Ji Feng’s doing.

He giggled in his heart, and Happy raised his hand.

“The tournament hasn’t started yet. Everyone, please sit down. My friends, let’s wait with the rest.” His voice traveled forward mightily with the power of Dragon’s Roar, and it pierced through the roaring sound wave. It entered everyone’s ears clearly.

His display of strength was not done abruptly, and it was also executed beautifully.

“Understood!”

The Lovely Land members answered. The unified sounds caused the atmosphere in the entire tournament area to become incredibly strange. It was only at that moment that countless people noticed that most of the people around them were Lovely Land members.

It was only when they asked about it that they understood that this time, Lovely Land had actually spent tens of millions of taels of gold on their members so that every member who wanted to watch the tournament would not regret missing the chance to do so.

“No wonder…”

“I was wondering how Happy managed to get his sect members to be so unified when he is constantly running about everywhere.”

Quite a number of sect leaders in the crowd were shocked. Even though he was just a sect leader in name, he managed to make his sect so incredibly unified. His methods were so great that they were impressed.

However, after they obtained the figure for the money spent, everyone chose to remain silent.

“By the way, Sect Master, you sent a messenger pigeon while you were coming back, saying that you’re going to bring us a small surprise during the tournament this time. Is it…?”

Ji Feng waited until Happy sat down before he had a thought appear in his mind. He rubbed his hands together and arrived behind Happy to ask this question tentatively.

Happy did not need to turn his head around. He could already “see” Ji Feng’s constantly moving eyebrows and his slightly sparkling eyes. He was rubbing his hands with familiar ease. ‘This guy is becoming more and more like a person who only loves money.’

He made a sarcastic quip in his heart, but Happy answered calmly, “Let’s not talk about this for the time being. Tell me the results of the pre-tournament spars. Didn’t you tell me that you had a figure that you wanted to tell me personally after I came back?”

“Urk…” Ji Feng was rendered speechless.

When Happy sent him a messenger pigeon saying that he had a “surprise”, Ji Feng guessed that it was not something simple and was definitely either a legacy that would shock the World of Martial Arts or a matchless divine weapon. Ji Feng had already become numb because of the shock dealt to him by Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy and the batches of supreme-grade divine weapons and demon vessels. He refused to believe that Happy would bring out something normal and ordinary.

So, to be able to live up to Happy’s reward, Ji Feng prepared a surprise as well. He was prepared to let Happy know that he had not been idle over this period of time, and he had been very busy and responsible…

But what surprised him was that Happy had decided to beat around the bush and asked him to reveal his trump card first.

Ji Feng felt a little gloomy.

Before he even began his performance, he had to reveal his trump card. That feeling was horrible.

He rolled his eyes behind Happy and reluctantly brought out a scroll from his Universe Bag.

Happy saw it all and cackled in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just calmly waited for Ji Feng to finish his report.

Ji Feng wanted to stall it.

Just like that, Lovely Land’s first and second leaders had gone through a silent game of revealing their own trump cards right in front of the people’s eyes.

But the weak could not win against the strong. Ji Feng simply could not win against Happy. He opened the scroll and read the data on it to Happy through private messages.

“When Lovely Land was just built, the number of elites who are better than top-class elites we have and can be completely independent were nearly two hundred!” When he started reading the scroll, Ji Feng became serious, and his tone became stern and conscientious.

“Yeah.” Happy nodded quietly.

He remembered that at that time, the supreme-grade elites from Lovely Land were all people from various sects. Among them were people from Wind Assault Tower and Ji Feng’s sect. The others were all solo players.

At that time, the number of supreme-class elites from Lovely Land were almost as great as Wind Assault Tower.

But at that time, Happy had gone on to understand the situation about the Wild Wolves, and he learned from Wandering Know-it-all that Wind Wolves had three thousand supreme-class elites, and that was not including the forces of power from various countries that were working with Wild Wolves.

During then, he knew that he could not fight against and destroy Wild Wolves alone. Besides, if he wanted to make Lovely Land stronger, he needed players who were not of average strength. Their best strength must be up to standard, otherwise, they would just be able to fight on equal grounds with Wild Wolves with Wandering Know-it-all’s help.

Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy was born out of Happy’s thoughts at that time. That was why he had put it into Lovely Land’s sect storage so resolutely.

More than one million Lovely Land talked about this, and since his battle replay at Song House served as an advertisement, the news of the tournament spread through the entire Chinese plains.

Besides, over this period of time, all his actions of filling the sect storage and putting in batches of divine weapons and demon vessels was so that he could attract more supreme-class elites into joining his sect!

Even though he had not looked into it in detail just yet, Happy could guess that there should be quite a number of supreme-class elites who were attracted by it and joined Lovely Land.

Now, Ji Feng revealed the number of the top fighting strength in Lovely Land.

“During the pre-tournament spars, I secretly set up an examination group in the sect. There are fifty of them, and they are formed by the people who are elders and hall chiefs from Lovely Land. If they have any subordinates whom they believe are supreme-class elites, they could provide their names and battle replays in secret, and this group would be in charge of examining the battle replays.”

Happy was slightly stunned. He finally regarded Ji Feng properly.

His name as the Hero of Wisdom was not in vain.

Even though Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy and all his other actions were to attract supreme-class elites over, Happy never stated it out loud. But Ji Feng had clearly noticed his goal, and he chose a swift and effective way to select this group of people from the two million Lovely Land members.

If he could just make sure that this group of people stayed and started focusing his attention on training them, this group of people would prove to be of great help in the future.

When he thought about this in depth, Happy nodded in satisfaction.

“How many have passed your examination right now?”

“We’ve listed all the people who joined the pre-tournament spars, and there are a lot of them. Sect Master, you definitely won’t be able to guess the number.” When he said this, Ji Feng paused for a moment, and he subconsciously spoke with a cunning and smug tone.

“Oh?”

When Ji Feng said this, Happy’s expectations instantly turned into curiosity.

If Ji Feng said this, then there was only one meaning behind it.

The effects of his actions before this were good, and he had managed to attract quite a lot of supreme-class elites to Lovely Land, and the number was definitely more than he expected.

When he thought of this, Happy instantly became at ease.

He did not disappoint Ji Feng either. He went with the rhythm and came up with a number. “Did it surpass five hundred or six hundred?”

When they first built Lovely Land, they had fewer than two hundred supreme-class elites. If this number had already increased by twofold now, that would mean that they had obtained a number of supreme-class elites that was equal to the number of supreme-class elites Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the twelve Beijing sects had at the peak of their strength!

“Five hundred…”

Ji Feng’s smug look faded away, and he stated a number.

Happy was slightly stunned. Then, he frowned. “Five hundred is already a good number.”

But before his voice faded away, Ji Feng added, because he had not finished speaking, “…is just the last three numbers.”

Happy was stunned. He turned around quickly and stared at Ji Feng. Ji Feng’s expression was calm as he nodded seriously. “We have one thousand and five hundred elites. During the pre-tournament spars, we’ve examined and filtered the players, and we have one thousand and five hundred supreme-class elites with us now…”
