Chapter 242: Destroying Gangs and Sects

While Wuhu was in upheaval, Nanhua University was also in an uproar.
“Kai Xin” held extraordinary significance for them—he represented the top spot on Nanhua University’s rankings. Though he hadn’t participated in campus competitions, the Lonely Three Wolves made an exception, allowing his name to remain at the top forever. He had always been the spiritual pillar of Nanhua University’s students and the Colorful Robes Sect!
They thought that after over half a month of silence, others might have caught up to some extent. But the first thing Kai Xin did after reappearing was to destroy the Five Poisons Sect…
A gang with considerable influence and reputation in the martial world was wiped out in less than an hour by Kai Xin—his flag torn down, its members slain, leaving only its leader, Ao Cangsheng, with a broken arm. Watching the foundation of his sect destroyed, he sadly withdrew from the martial world. Before leaving, he vowed that when he returned, he would exact revenge for all the humiliation and hatred inflicted upon the Five Poisons Sect by Kai Xin!
With a loud crash,
Ao Cangsheng disappeared from the martial world forever;
the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect reverted to their original state, lost and confused;
the Five Poisons Sect vanished entirely from the martial world…
The man who single-handedly destroyed the Five Poisons Sect acted as if it were a trivial matter. He didn’t even bother with the loot on the ground. Mounting his horse, he left through the crowd’s parted paths under the admiring, respectful, and envious gazes of countless players.
“Damn!”
“That was amazing! When can we do something equally spectacular on our own? No wonder even Feng Wu is attracted to Boss Kai Xin! I’m so jealous of his style!”
The students of Nanhua University learned this news fastest through the “Nanhua Martial World Rankings” updates, sparking intense discussions. The leaders of the Colorful Robes Sect were even more inspired—since Kai Xin grew stronger, so did the sect’s potential for growth and development.
The only one who wasn’t happy was probably Li Ning…
Before the martial world events began, many students would come to him, his assistant to the computer science tutor. Many juniors and seniors surrounded him with admiration. But now! Everyone was talking about Kai Xin and everything in the martial world, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of loss.
What annoyed him even more was that the woman he had secretly cared about disappeared after asking him for help, spending her days in the game.
“A virtual world—so fascinating for you all? It’s just a world made of 1s and 0s, nothing but boring data… How childish of me!”

Li Ning sat in the dormitory, muttering to himself. In front of him was a brand-new package. Unwrapping the delicate packaging, he found the virtual helmet that had made him hesitate for so long.
To be honest, the REP offered on the website really captivated him. Which man doesn’t dream of roaming the world and engaging in thrilling adventures?
Hackers are still men…
…
“Boss, such an exciting opportunity! And you actually—actually went alone to show off, not even taking Xiao Bei with you…”
When they returned to Baihu Forest, Xiao Bei, who had rushed back from another place upon hearing the news, complained nonstop, his “resentful” gaze following the happy figure.
Happy was already used to Xiao Bei’s occasional mischievous behavior and continued practicing, changing the subject: “Where’s Brother Lei?”
“Him?” Although a bit naggy, Xiao Bei wouldn’t bluff when it came to serious matters. He replied, “After mastering his lightness skills, Brother Lei has been going to Fox Cave every day these past few days. Didn’t you say your Colorful Robes Sect still lacks high-quality items? He said since he’s idle anyway, he goes to the island in Wuhu City during the day to fight bandits, and to Fox Cave at night. I heard he’s already obtained over a dozen copies of ‘Heavenly Illusion Claws’—now he’s a real rich man.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Zhan’s familiar, bold laugh rang out from the treetops behind Xiao Bei: “Who said I’m a rich man?”
“Who else could it be?”
Xiao Bei rolled his eyes without turning around: “Brother Lei, you’re really unfair! You left me behind to make money all by myself. Boss Happy is even worse—gone to show off all afternoon, and now I haven’t gotten anything these past few days. Ugh… Share some of the loot with me, or I’ll remember this against you forever!”
Whoosh…
With a soft sound of breaking air, Lei Zhan lightly flew down, landing silently—clearly he had reached a high level in his lightness skills.
“Stop it.”
Lei Zhan said irritably, “You seem to have reaped quite a few benefits in those ancient tombs these past few days, haven’t you? One copy of ‘Illusionary Demon Movement’ is already worth ten of my ‘Heavenly Illusion Claws’. How much is that Horse Token from Tuiying anyway? I haven’t even asked you for it yet, and you’re already bragging.”
“Ah…”
Xiao Bei was speechless, unable to respond. He hadn’t expected such a secret move to be discovered. Brother Lei truly had a rough exterior but a delicate interior.
Happy watched the two bickering and continued practicing his sword skills.
It turned out that after mastering his lightness skills, Lei Zhan had left on his own for a while.

Xiao Bei was still in White Tiger Forest. After all, he was a fan of Ti Ying—knowing that it refreshed here every three days, he naturally wouldn’t miss it. He sent zombie puppets to search within several miles every day, following the clues provided by Kai Xin to track Ti Ying’s whereabouts. After over half a month, he indeed managed to obtain four Ti Ying Horse Tokens, four copies of the Illusion Demon Combat Techniques, and the meager spoils from Lei Zhan—none of which amounted to much compared to what Xiao Bei had. After all, an ordinary top-tier item was now worth at most 250,000; a Ti Ying Horse Token had already risen to 1.5 million; the Illusion Demon Combat Techniques were even worth 2 million and kept rising. Converted into silver, Xiao Bei was now a true tycoon!

“Alright, alright,” Xiao Bei said with a resigned expression. “Since you’re my brothers, one token each—don’t say I’m stingy.” He took out two tokens and tossed them one to each of them. Lei Zhan happily accepted them, knowing exactly what this meant—preying on the rich. Kai Xin also took his, realizing that the Jujube Red Horse was still far inferior to Ti Ying. But Xiao Bei quickly handed over two more copies of the Illusion Demon Combat Techniques, leaving Kai Xin momentarily stunned. “What’s this for?” “Boss, keep them for me. I can only get Ti Ying thanks to your information, and I learned the techniques from you too. Otherwise, how could I get Ti Ying by myself?” Xiao Bei said seriously. “If I run out of money, I’ll ask you for it. What’s the point of giving me two books? Take them back.” Though tempted, Kai Xin wasn’t willing to give anything away for free. He canceled the deal and said, “If you really want to give them, I can store them in Caiyi Gate’s warehouse and add them to your contribution points.” “You mean, you want us to join Caiyi Gate?” Xiao Bei’s eyes lit up. He had been interested in this mysterious gang behind Kai Xin for quite some time; Lei Zhan also showed interest. “If we don’t join now and join later with you, how will the contribution points be calculated?” Kai Xin smiled slightly and replied, “Caiyi Gate has set up an independent system offline. When the time is right, you can join… Consider it. For now, let’s discuss the Fox Cave matter.” The two exchanged glances—they understood that this meant Kai Xin was officially inviting them on behalf of Caiyi Gate.
