Chapter 955: The Three Wolves Appear

“I don’t know what happened. He hasn’t shown up for days…”
“It seems he’s fallen into a deep slumber again. I’m not sure about the specifics, but I guess it might have something to do with the strength of one’s spirit.”
These words made Xu Xin lift her tear-filled eyes.
Xu Yao blinked and asked hesitantly, “The strength of one’s spirit?”
“Mm. I think that’s the only explanation…” Kai Xin repeated in a solemn tone what Chen Kaixin had said before: “When crossing over, Chen Kaixin’s spirit was very weak, while my desire for revenge was extremely strong. He remained suppressed, which is why I kept controlling his body for over a year.”
“But didn’t you say that after your revenge, you could no longer suppress him, and he took control of the body?” Xu Xin asked, wiping away her tears.
Kai Xin gave a bitter smile. Clearly, Xu Xin must have heard the entire conversation that night—probably awakened by Xu Yao’s accident. But it was better this way. He had no idea how to face her before, but now that he knew, he might as well tell her everything. Otherwise, thinking about it constantly would only bring a heavy sense of discomfort.
“I saw in the game that his training progress in the gang prison was terrible—like that of a complete novice, no, maybe even worse… He must have skipped basic training and gone straight to the Liberation Realm, unable to adapt. In reality, he also didn’t dare speak to you guys, which weakened his spirit…”
At this point, Xu Yao seemed to think of something. Her eyes lit up as she said, “The strength of one’s spirit can cause problems… So, is it possible your spirit has grown stronger?”
“…”
Kai Xin was stunned.
Xu Yao quickly explained, “I mean, could it be that your concern for Xin Er makes you more attached to everything here, turning it into an obsession similar to revenge? Then, his weakening and your strengthening… The only thing I don’t understand is why you can travel back and forth, but he can’t…” Xu Yao’s reasoning stopped Xu Xin from sobbing, and a glimmer appeared in her eyes.
Kai Xin too felt a slight stir in his heart.
Xu Yao’s reasoning did make some sense.
But… the ability to travel back and forth wasn’t actually controlled by Chen Kaixin here. Perhaps it was because only he had been in both bodies at the same time—some kind of magnetic force.
“Wait.”

Xu Yao spoke again, “Chen Kaixin, I’m saying, after you complete your revenge, your mental strength will weaken. I guess it’s impossible for Chen Kaixin to wake up again when you care less about Xin Er, right?”
“……”
Kai Xin took a deep breath.
What Xu Yao said made sense! But… care less about Xu Xin? That seemed difficult…
Over these past year or so, Xu Xin had become the vulnerable part of his heart that couldn’t be hurt, and it was also the complex emotion he had been troubled by and unable to face.
“…Let’s eat.”
Xu Xin wiped away her tears and sat back down in her seat.
Xu Yao and Kai Xin also spent the time in silence…
Kai Xin’s other body was still in the bathroom, so he naturally couldn’t stay here for too long. Seeing Xu Xin and Xu Yao head to the kitchen, he sighed, returned to his bedroom, logged into the game, and continued to idle!
In this world, Kai Xin was alone, standing above hundreds of millions of people. His “Immortal Body” and “Qijin Jing” skills were steadily improving, his internal energy and innate attributes were rising rapidly, so he didn’t have to worry about being overtaken.
Plus, with the “Qijin Jing” and “Immortal Body” he was practicing in the other world, along with his combat skills stored in his mind, he could focus on two things at once, resulting in astonishing progress.
…
“Why so long?”
As he came out of the bathroom, he encountered Xu Yao’s slightly suspicious and anxious gaze.
Kai Xin shamelessly claimed he had stomach issues and that’s why he returned to the hospital bed…
…
“Are everyone here?”
When he returned to the game, it happened that all members of the Hunter Family had arrived one after another.
“Is the Heart-Ripping Needle still there?” As soon as Yu Long arrived, he focused on Kai Xin’s chest. Seeing the wet, dark red mark, he frowned deeply.
The others also showed worried expressions.
Only Kai Xin breathed a sigh of relief:
Since “Qijin Jing” started operating automatically after it was activated, it was clear that the effect of the Heart-Ripping Needle still persisted. In other words, as long as it wasn’t removed for a day, the speed at which “Qijin Jing” improved would continue. Although it would slow down as his realm and level rose, it was still a treasure that constantly stimulated “Qijin Jing” to advance faster.
This situation truly embodied the saying: Pain, but pleasure!
…
When Kai Xin logged into the game, he didn’t know that someone had peeked inside through the small window of the ward. After showing a complex expression, that person turned and left.
At the hospital entrance, two men with steady expressions frowned, their brows like the curling cigarettes in their hands…
“How is it?”

Seeing the man in black walk out, the two cast a slightly wary glance at the nurse not far away, who looked alert, and stepped forward to ask, “What’s his condition now?”
If Kai Xin were here, he would surely be stunned.
The three lonely wolves from their college days—Bai Lang, Qi Ci, and Chen Fan—had appeared outside the hospital where he was recovering. The only difference was that their demeanor was different from that of their student days. Those three lonely wolves, though high-ranking and wealthy, were still students, with their edges not yet fully smoothed off. The three before them had familiar features, but each of them wore a look of calm experience, and their tones of voice were also different.
It was Chen Fan who came out of the hospital. He glanced at the nurse who warned him not to bring cigarettes in, smiled, and approached his two brothers.
“I just talked to his attending doctor. Kai Xin’s mental state is good, and his recovery progress is very satisfactory. He should be able to walk freely within two months.”
“That puts my mind at ease.”
Bai Lang felt relieved; Qi Ci let out a long sigh of relief, his expression softening.
“One and a half years… I didn’t expect this kid to wake up on his own. It wasn’t easy… Nor was it easy for that woman.”
Hearing Qi Ci mention Xu Yao, Chen Fan and Bai Lang nodded silently.
Over the past year or so, although they hadn’t found Kai Xin, they had kept an eye on Xu Yao’s situation and Kai Xin’s progress. They naturally understood the decisions and sacrifices Xu Yao had made back then. That’s why they coincidentally reached out to many classmates they had good relationships with and launched a relentless assault on Yipin Hall day and night for months on end.
Many students at Nanhua University, though not as skilled as top players, were still full of vigor as young people. Whether they were classmates or current students, everyone knew there was a super fanatic practitioner at Nanhua—a mad monk who challenged others everywhere, like a swordsman from ancient times. Although they didn’t interact much, many were proud of Kai Xin’s achievements…
After all, Kai Xin came from Nanhua!
Additionally, although the ruined Caiyi Gate had disbanded, thousands of people gathered out of indignation. This unorganized and unplanned act of destruction caused immeasurable losses to Yipin Hall. Especially when combined with those who had long resented Yipin Hall…
Back then, the Wudu Gate was almost completely destroyed!

Over several months, whether it was the elite or ordinary disciples of Yipin Tang, tens of thousands of members were lost. The once-renowned most powerful gang in the martial world saw its development slowed down for months, forcing it to abandon branch halls in over a dozen cities. This gave the equally strong Shadow Sect the chance to overtake Yipin Tang and become the largest gang in the Central Plains.

Although Meng Yun was furious, after a series of counterattacks, the players from various sects and gangs were in complete disarray… With enemies both real and fake, Yipin Tang couldn’t keep track of the main plot! In the end, under pressure from public opinion and condemnation within the martial world, they had no choice but to end this painful war by expelling their vice leader, Xueyi.

And the ones responsible for all this… were the Three Lonely Wolves. Three ordinary players who weren’t considered top experts in the game. Three men who, in another world, had become executive directors of the Nanhua Martial World Ranking and middle-level leaders in the martial world community.

These days… the posts about Happy quickly went viral, thanks in part to them. Almost everyone at Nanhua University and the former members of Caiyi Sect now knew about this news; otherwise, it wouldn’t have become such a hot topic so quickly.

“I thought this matter would end here, but it seems Happy has woken up and realized his mistake…”

“Yeah. This time, Happy has crushed the might of both the Blood Alliance and Yipin Tang. Xueyi and Meng Yun definitely won’t sit idly by and let Happy grow strong enough to threaten them. They’ll take action in the next few days.”

Bai Lang and Chen Fan’s analysis made Qi Ci lick his dry lips, his eyes burning with ambition:

“It seems you already have plans. Share them with us.”

“Fighting against giants like the Blood Alliance and Yipin Tang is impossible with weak forces… Also, going head-on isn’t worth it. If we form a gang, we could be destroyed at any moment. Working in secret might work.”

“Xiao Bai is right. Forming a gang requires prestige and strength, as well as sufficient connections and funds… Happy already has prestige and strength—we just need to maintain it! We also have connections. The former members of Caiyi Sect are restless now and can be called upon at any time… The problem is that once Happy forms a gang, he’ll face pressure from two top gangs. Without a solid foundation, he’ll collapse right away!”

“Let’s start gathering people and get ready now.”

“Preparing for what? Come on, let’s talk while we walk. That nurse probably likes us three… Being handsome is a hassle. Let’s go.”
