Chapter 63: The Fourth Dark Horse

Although Fat God was greedy for money, he was decent in other aspects. Soon, his battle REP against Happy was posted. Though brief, its intensity was even more shocking than those posted by Little Butt. Fat God, who ranked second in the REP, suffered his first defeat! He was completely overwhelmed throughout the fight with no chance to retaliate. Surprisingly, the boxing style Happy used was the most basic introductory martial art of Shaolin Temple—Shaolin Longquan.
“That can’t be true.”
“Can Shaolin Longquan be executed like that?”
“Tsk tsk, see that glow? That’s master-level Shaolin Longquan!”
“Look at the transitions—it’s a bit different from ordinary Shaolin Longquan… but it seems even more powerful…”
Many students from Nanhua University, both male and female, gathered around computers, watching with great interest. Some particularly eloquent students enthusiastically explained each move, fully engaged:
“The control effect of Golden Dragon Claw followed by Chain Palm—how could the target possibly counterattack? Tsk tsk! The Monk’s Reverse Palm combined with Ding Step Elbow Turn—genius!!”
“And this move too—see? As soon as Fat God showed a weakness, he was controlled. Though it was just a slight leg sway, Fat God’s balance was ruined… he was helpless…”
Even top-ranked figures like Phoenix in Colorful Clothes, Fat God, Brother Yu Cha, No Scoundrels, and Little Butt all vowed to gather information about Happy and uncover his true identity, hoping to become friends with him.
Some even said that if anyone was willing to reveal Happy’s personal details, some famous beauty dormitories would consider holding a get-together over the weekend, causing a frenzy among everyone!
In no time, Happy became a well-known figure at Nanhua University, even recognized as the top contender and potential champion of this martial arts tournament!
As the founders of the Nanhua Martial Arts Ranking, the Lonely Three Wolves naturally received inquiries from various departments and levels. However, they unanimously stated that since Happy chose to remain masked and not reveal his true face, as his guardians, they couldn’t disclose his personal information or privacy without his permission.
Though this noble-sounding excuse was dismissed by many, it gained support from even more students! The fact that the legendary Lonely Three Wolves could remain steadfast under such strong temptations showed just how noble their integrity was—truly remarkable!
But the outside world didn’t know…
What kept the Lonely Three Wolves firm in their stance was Xu Xin and her best friend Happy from the same dormitory!

Xu Xin had already secretly learned Happy’s ID from the Lonely Three Wolves. Ever since Happy became famous, she had heard much chatter in the female dormitories about trying to poach this popular figure. As the beauty of the computer department, she found this very displeasing. She kept Happy’s secret, warned the Lonely Three Wolves not to reveal any information about her, and even gave them a brief lesson on professional ethics. Otherwise… How could the two lone wolves among the Lonely Three Wolves resist the temptation to join forces with the beautiful girls in the dorms? They probably would have already dragged their buddy outside and announced it to the whole school through a loudspeaker! “Xu Xin must be interested and wants to keep Happy for herself…” “Definitely! We need to make Happy suffer a bit—she’s being too lenient with him.” “Agreed!” The Lonely Three Wolves once again reached a unanimous decision. … But! As the second round ended, an disruptive figure appeared at the martial arts tournament. Another dark horse entered everyone’s sight! Orochimaru! He appeared in the second round battles with fierce intensity, making each fight extremely bloody and brutal. Every opponent was left covered in blood, and he even deliberately prolonged the battles to ensure total defeat. From unknown ordinary opponents to top-ranked experts, none were spared. In the first round, he had performed fairly unremarkably, but starting from the second round, players who faced him felt they were dealing with a monster—a bloodthirsty fanatic with a mocking smirk. Relying on his two crescent-shaped swords, he humiliated his opponents like sheep ready for slaughter. Worst of all, after each battle, he would plant his weapons in their bodies as an insult! His ignorant attitude pushed everyone’s tolerance to its limit. When the victims posted their REP scores on forums, countless students at Nanhua University were enraged and protested, demanding that the “Nanhua Martial Arts Ranking” reveal this person’s details and background, condemning him… and asking how such inhumane and twisted individuals could exist in the same school?! In the dorms, phones rang nonstop, driving the Lonely Three Wolves crazy. When they finally found this person’s information, they were stunned… He wasn’t a current student at Nanhua University, nor from any nearby school. He was actually a senior who hadn’t graduated yet and didn’t have a fixed job—someone who still hadn’t received his diploma.

After sending this message, instead of calming everyone’s anger, it only sparked even greater outrage. People began to suspect that the person was harboring resentment toward Nanhua University due to failing to obtain their graduation certificates, and was even taking it out on current Nanhua students by deliberately committing such provocative and violent acts!
After reaching this conclusion, many passionate individuals called for the top-ranked experts on the rankings to take care of this guy—eye for an eye!
In an apartment in a certain city, a pale-faced man with a gloomy expression scrolled through forums for a while before showing intense mockery. He exhaled smoke as his hand, holding a cigarette, swiftly typed two lines on the keyboard:
“I am Orochimaru…”
“My juniors, feel free to challenge me!”
After posting the topic thread, a bloodthirsty frenzy flashed in Orochimaru’s eyes.
As one of the earliest players to enter “Jianghu,” he had already spent nearly three months in the game. Not only was he highly experienced, but he had also earned a formidable reputation in the gaming world—players in some cities would even turn and run at the sight of someone wielding twin swords.
Nearly a hundred top experts had died at his hands, and the number continued to rise by double digits every day. Those amateurs from Nanhua University who only knew a few basic martial arts techniques thought they could teach him a lesson? They must be crazy!
However, he wasn’t bothered by leaving a lasting impression on these dear juniors. Whether good or bad, his name, Orochimaru, would surely become famous at Nanhua University for a while. And the real information he deliberately left behind would likely reach his mentor before long…
Hmph!
Thinking of this, Orochimaru snorted coldly, a look of satisfaction on his face:
He was eager to see what expression his mentor would make upon learning about his current declaration and achievements. Likely, that mentor wouldn’t be able to hold his head high in front of others.
