Sharp Blade Clan.

Just like any other minor Clans, they were a famous small Clan in part of a town belonging to the Angel Faction. But this can's leader and vice leaders had all reached the level of Tier 5. The clan leader had reached advanced Tier 5 a few days ago, while the two vice leaders reached advanced Tier 5 while the siege of the city happened.

The three had originally planned that when they have all successfully reached advanced Tier, they would use their influence as the three Tier 5's to help further advance their thousand over comrades and make themselves famous in the Angel Faction. They did not expect that before the remaining two could advance, that Moonrise City would be invaded and their clan forced to disband.

On a sunny day, this incident had broken the last shreds of sentiments toward Sharp Blade of the less loyal members. Many people had chosen to leave and seek protection from other league clans… Or, some even decided to start one of their own—where all of them would be back to the same starting point, rousing many players to have inner struggles in their hearts.

Under these circumstances, Clan Leader Sharp Blade was only able to reach the few dozens of comrades who regularly trained with him, along with the Vice Leaders who had just changed tiers—Muted Landmine and Silent Ape.

Facing the fact that the thousand comrades they worked hard to recruit unhesitatingly switched sides, the three were disheartened. As they gathered at the warp portal to discuss what to do next, Qin Ruo's fascinating debut had deeply moved the members of Sharp Blade Clan…

Sharp Blade was a Tier 5 Champion who had joined the defense team against the siege. Moreover, he was at the northern part of the city at that time. He was one of the Tier 5 Champions there! He was also one of the players who witnessed the battle between Savior and Qin Ruo.

Furthermore, Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero had stabilized the city after that… The rumors of Qin Ruo slaughtering his way into the Demon Faction's Sin City had also reached his ears. All these had made him burst with admiration.

Under Sharp Blade's suggestion, the two Vice Leaders and other diehard devoted members agreed with his suggestion—to join Qin Ruo's personal party.

Qin Ruo might not form a party. But after Moonrise City's invasion, for an aggressive Champion like him who would charge into Sin City and pressure Demon Faction's Twelve Zodiacs League till their colors were drained, they were sure that he would surely join one now! Even personally establish a Clan! They would work with the Angel Faction Champions from all walks of life to rebuild the honor and glory of the Angel Faction.

That was how Qin Ruo ended up being surrounded by a whole bunch of people…

After hearing all the details from Sharp Blade, Qin Ruo eventually recommended Dinosaucerer's already established "Violent Army".

Establishing a Clan…

Qin Ruo had thought about something like this in the past, but as soon as this thought arose, he immediately dismissed it. Forming a Clan was tedious and would require him to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Furthermore, he did not have much time to go online.

Qin Ruo did not want to immerse himself entirely in a game. There were many beautiful things in real life after all which he was not willing to compromise. Finally, fighting on his own was one thing, leading a group was another. It was something Qin Ruo had never done before so he did not know if he would be good at it. He also could not tell if he would become like Scarlet Bauhinia. Because of frequent clan errands, he slowly distanced from his Clan members and lost passion. Also, because he had to take many things into consideration, he "logically" let go of the things that were originally upheld and cherished.

These were things that Qin Ruo was unwilling to see!

However, asking Sharp Blade, Muted Landmine and Silent Ape to join a party which a Tier 4 player had set up, was quite difficult. In an era like this, how many people would be willing to place themselves under someone whose capabilities were not equal to theirs?

Qin Ruo observed Sharp Blade and his gang expressing discomfort and proceeded to explain, "Dinosaucerer's battle powers are very unique. Advanced Tier 5 is no longer a problem… Besides…tomorrow we will gather the team at the Buried City. I am sure that he would reach Tier 5 before that."

Sharp Blade trio regained their spirits…

Qin Ruo knew that he had succeeded. The Buried City is foremost the new area for the truly strong Champions!

In the entire Honor & Glory, the number of players who entered was not up to a hundred…

If Dinosaucerer could successfully advance his tier and establish a foothold in the Buried City, surpassing them would be a matter of time.

Besides, Sharp Blade had fought in the north of the city. He naturally would know that Dinosaucerer had nearly finished off a few Tier 5 players with his own strength in the north as well. He would have known Dinosaucerer's current strength would skyrocket after he advanced to Tier 5.

"Can I ask you a personal question?" Sharp Blade asked Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo raised a brow. "Mm?"

"Are you friends with Dinosaucerer in real life?"

Qin Ruo nodded. "Colleagues."

"Alright… I'll do it."

Sharp Blade finally nodded and agreed. Since Qin Ruo and Dinosaucerer were friends in real life, then there would definitely be no conflict of interest after joining different Clans. As long as they kept in touch and joined forces in the future, establishing a League was also possible.

After convincing Sharp Blade and the rest to join Dinosaucerer's Violent Army, Qin Ruo felt that he finally did a good deed today and his mood was greatly lifted. "You guys contact him, just tell him that I recommended it."

"If the opportunity arises next time, bring us along for training!"

"Mm, if the opportunity arises."

As soon as Qin Ruo made his promise, Dinosaucerer swiftly took care of things on his end. He excitedly voice messaged, "Little Ruo Ruo, you're really nice. You helped me with the party's foundation as soon as you returned. You even brought in three Tier 5 players. Heh, this is great. I'll make them help me grind Honor Points, hehe…" After a short moment of chuckling, eventually, Sharp Blade and the rest had a sharp-looking iron fist appearing on each of their arms!

The Violent Army party!

Although it was just a party, after the whole siege at Moonrise City, Sharp Blade's group had become quite sharp themselves…

"Brother Qin!"

Sharp Blade quickly adjusted to his role after joining the Violent Army. "We'll go grind for Honor Points then, let's catch up next time when we have the chance!"

After Qin Ruo nodded, the entire group of people hurriedly left Moonrise City under the gaze of a crowd of envious and skeptical players.

After saying his farewells to them, Qin Ruo took out a whole bunch of decent Violet equipment and some Gold equipment from his Ring of Honor to be sent over to Dinosaucerer, as a red packet to celebrate his comrade's establishment of the party.

Since they were all equipment dropped by Twelve Zodiacs members, they were all very usable Tier 4 Violet equipment and Gold equipment. He could finally make a good trade with his colleague.

Dinosaucerer touchingly cried and sighed greatly. "Tsk, Little Ruo Ruo, if only you could also join, how great would that be. Next time, I won't complain about anything anymore. Let me handle the men, while you grind for the army's hard work and glory. By just heading out for a single trip, you've collected so many equipment… Huh!" as soon as he said this, Dinosaucerer suddenly changed his tone, and then loudly blurted, "Wait wait, how come there's so many? Three hundred… It's almost four hundred already, did you bring a food cart along?"

"Do you want them? If not, give them back."

Qin Ruo did not plan to explain the Ring of Honor to the rest. Qin Ruo did not intend to make it known to public, at least until the properties of the Ring of Honor was thoroughly revealed.

"My gosh, you've already offered and you're thinking of taking it back? Hehe, in your dreams." Dinosaucerer paid not much attention to it. He giggled a while and then switched his attention to something else.

"Oh yeah, do you also want me to join your team and help you build up your Clan? The Mythical Battlefield is extremely dangerous right now. Sending out Sharp Blade and the rest would be very dangerous."

"Well. You are an honorable god right now. Someone has already booked you… I wouldn't dare to fight with her for you." Dinosaucerer's odd tone startled Qin Ruo.

"Ah?"

Dinosaucerer started to mumble absent-mindedly. "Inviting you over is dangerous. Since you need to leave immediately, who's gonna fill up that large gap of Honor Points? You punk…"

"F*ck, what does that mean? I just can't understand what I'm hearing, explain it to me clearly." Qin Ruo hastily asked. According to what he knew, till now not a single person had invited him to join some party or some Clan. How could he have been booked by anyone?

"You still don't know?" Dinosaucerer asked in shock.

"Duh."

Qin Ruo said in annoyance, "I was stopped by Sharp Blade as soon as I returned to the city… Just what is going on? Just who formed a Clan?"

"You actually still don't know…"

Dinosaucerer ignored the irritated Qin Ruo. He was surprised for a while, then suddenly smugly explained, "Oh, that's right. She knew you were headed to the Demon Faction so I guess she did not inform you immediately…"

As he was speaking, he burst into shameless laughter all of a sudden. "Hehe… Let me tell you, you surely can't guess who would actually want to form a Clan… I'll give you a hint, take a trip back to Savis Town immediately, Champion's Restaurant. Be quick, they might actually still be there!"

"Champion's Restaurant?"

Qin Ruo was dumbfounded. "Who's there?"

"Those who are supposed be there are there, those who aren't supposed to be there are there too."

Dinosaucerer's answer silenced Qin Ruo. He thought to himself whether he made the wrong choice to bring in men for him. This guy actually had the audacity to leave him hanging.

'You sure are vicious!'

He cursed Dinosaurcer in his heart. Qin Ruo then stepped into the warp portal leave Moonrise City and entered Savis Town.

***

Moonrise City had not recovered from its destruction. Savis Town's atmosphere was apparently depressing for the very first time. He did not see many stalls set up at the town's square, needless to mention players who were upgrading their equipment. During this time, the majority of the players who were still able to fight had headed out to the few cities surrounding Moonrise City and entered the Mythical Battlefield; or had furiously decided to give themselves and their pets some harsh training.

There were very few players on the street.

As Qin Ruo passed by, he could clearly feel that there were a few people who were discussing among themselves behind his back… He unknowingly sped up and reached the entrance of Champion's Restaurant.

Champion's Restaurant…

Going over there this time around, he could not help but felt a glaring and taunting feeling. Qin Ruo lowered his head, hastened his steps up the stairs with a heavy mood.

"Haha! Speak of the devil!"

"Qin Ruo! Over here!"

The moment he went up, Qin Ruo heard a few familiar voices and saw over a hundred pairs of eyes gazing in his direction.

Qin Ruo was temporarily dazed…

As he glanced over, he saw that Champion's Restaurant's top floor was seated with full of people. Violet Orchid, Slayer's Heart, Burning Rose, Black Rock, Fateless, Judge… Huh, even Homme Fatale, Steel Dude, and a bunch of Bauhinia's men were all there.

'What…

'This… What kind of gathering is this?'
