Chapter 64: The Evil Master

The end of the second round of the competition left Happy with plenty of time. He quietly left the game and opened his eyes, just in time to hear the Lonely Three Wolves discussing in the dormitory, gritting their teeth, about revenge against their former senior, “Orochimaru.” Listening quietly, his brows gradually furrowed.
Orochimaru…
He had heard this name before. It was the name of a villain from the famous anime “Naruto.” He never expected someone to use this name in “Jianghu.” In his past life, he hadn’t paid much attention when he first heard it, but later, this person committed a horrific “Massacre of a Hundred People” in “Jianghu.”
During a treasure hunt, they had to pass through a narrow passage in Wulong Mountain. Over a hundred martial artists entered slowly to save time. But halfway there, countless poisons rained down, along with poisonous smoke and mist. There was nowhere for them to hide or dodge. They were either killed by the poisons or died from inhaling the poisonous smoke and mist while climbing. The scene was extremely brutal and terrifying. All of them suffered severe damage to their strength and were killed by Orochimaru, who was hiding among them.
Not a single one of the over a hundred survived!
This incident eventually led to a joint pursuit by more than twenty sects. But during the pursuit, many people were killed by Orochimaru instead. From then on, Orochimaru’s name became infamous throughout the land.
In fact, Orochimaru could be considered one of the most ruthless and unscrupulous evil figures in “Jianghu,” though his fame was tied to brutality and negativity.
“It’s actually him…”
Happy lay on the bed, taking a slight breath.
Originally, he had targeted Yu Cha and Baolong as his ultimate opponents in this competition, believing his chances of winning were over 90%. But now, it seemed there was another unknown factor—Orochimaru, a serious threat.
The opponent wasn’t just seeking revenge for Nanhua University or the 3,000 reward. They wanted to take first place on Nanhua’s ranking list and undermine Nanhua University’s reputation.
If they succeeded, it would be devastating to the morale of all the students at Nanhua University…
At that time, the Nanhua Jianghu Ranking List, which had approved Orochimaru’s entry into the martial arts conference, would surely bear the blame. If this situation wasn’t handled properly, the Lonely Three Wolves’ hard-earned Nanhua Jianghu Ranking List might suffer severe damage, possibly never recovering.
As he thought deeper, a fierce glint appeared in Happy’s eyes. He secretly resolved that since the Nanhua Jianghu Ranking List was in turmoil because of him, he must take responsibility for protecting it!
Orochimaru…

Since you want to provoke Nanhua University, very good—just as you wish! With a thought, Kai Xin quietly logged back into the game and returned to the specially designated area—the combat arena… Time passed swiftly, and soon it was the third round. By then, the number of people from Nanhua University had dropped to less than two hundred, all gathered in one space. Many of them were familiar faces—individuals who had previously stood out on the rankings. Kai Xin’s appearance quickly attracted a lot of attention… Numerous gazes turned toward him! But with a gasp, it seemed even more people noticed Orochimaru, dressed in black combat gear with two swords slung across his body, in a corner. Kai Xin also saw Orochimaru, frowned, and associated his appearance with a certain annoying country; a flash of murderous intent crossed his mind. “Kai Xin!” A familiar voice, gentle yet precise, approached quickly. Turning around, he saw “Little Butt Wiggler,” who had nearly killed him both times before. The obese man struggled through the crowd to get closer. “Little P, you’re here too?” Hearing himself called Little P, Little Butt Wiggler froze abruptly and stared at Kai Xin intently. “Who the hell are you?” Only a few close friends called him Little P, and he knew their names. There was nothing familiar about Kai Xin, yet the name came so naturally to his lips. “You won’t guess.” Smiling, Kai Xin noticed two more people approaching and his expression darkened as he immediately wanted to turn away. “Stop!” Feng Wu Cai Yi’s voice instantly drowned out the noise around them, drawing everyone’s attention. Ambitious looks fell on the graceful Feng Wu Cai Yi and the masked mysterious expert, Kai Xin. Although Feng Wu Cai Yi had many suitors at school, more failed. The reason was simple—she was an all-around warrior: those with strong physiques lacked literary talent, those with literary talent couldn’t fight as well as her, those who were good at fighting were poor at singing or talking, and those who were eloquent were often knocked out by her with a bottle of liquor. Those who were strong drinkers didn’t dare show off, as no one had yet been able to match her at the bar… Over two years, many people had been badly beaten, and their teams were completely wiped out in no time. Eventually, a saying spread among the boys: “The one who can handle this girl hasn’t been born yet.” Kai Xin was one of those who knew this, which was why he didn’t want her to target him… She was too fierce—not his type.

So, upon seeing Feng Wu Caiyi’s bright eyes tinged with hatred and her approaching figure, he was instantly shocked and turned to run, truly worried that she might tear off his mask regardless of anything. Called back, he refused to let his composure slip despite his happiness. With a laugh, his gaze fell on the stunning Feng Wu Caiyi: “I was wondering who it was—turns out it’s you. My greatest hobby is hanging out with beautiful women. How about we find a quiet place to talk?” His tone, typical of acquaintances, sounded somewhat rogue to others. “Who wants to talk to you?” Feng Wu Caiyi fell for it and stood about two meters away, keeping her distance. “Hmph, I came here to tell you that guy over there is now your responsibility! You must go all out. If he takes first place on the ranking, I’ll dig through the earth to find you!” As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the man in black in the corner. “I’m not dead—why such harsh words?” Kai Xin rubbed his nose, joking. Feng Wu Caiyi’s brows furrowed, ready to explode. Xiao Pu felt a chill in his heart and quickly stepped in to defuse the situation: “Don’t rush—he doesn’t know yet…” Turning to him, he lowered his voice: “Dude, just agree to it. One of the girls in Caiyi’s dorm was killed by Orochimaru. That bastard is truly despicable… She cried for a long time. Everyone in school knows about Feng Wu Caiyi declaring war on Orochimaru through his post—sure you’re aware of that?” “…” Hearing Xiao Pu’s chaotic explanation, Kai Xin gradually dropped his joking demeanor. His gaze grew colder as it swept over the crowd and landed on Orochimaru, who stood proudly in the corner, also looking this way. A chilling expression appeared on his face that made those around him shiver: “I’ll deal with him.” His tone was icy, filled with confidence. Unnoticed by Kai Xin, at the moment he said this, everyone—including Xiao P, Feng Wu, and Yu Cha—felt a tremor of fear emanating from him.
