With Nine Yang Divine Skill, Happy can instantly tell just how powerful were Mad Monk’s attacks when he decided to go for offense, and his heart instantly let out a thump.
He no longer attacked Happy with the power of those at Life and Death Realm.
He started straight away at Moksha Realm!
Happy was immediately terrified.
Three moves passed. Just as Happy expected, at the fourth move, Mad Monk increased the power of his attack to Inaction Realm. His speed and the level of threat in his attacks also swiftly increased!
But naturally, Inaction Realm attacks were not a threat to Happy.
However, at the seventh move, the aura of those at Myth Realm came surging forward, and even Happy cannot help but feel his breath freeze. The eighth and ninth move practically descended on him one after another.
It was as if six elites at the peak of Myth Realm had appeared at the same time, and all of them had the Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s strength. Those attacks surrounded Happy and attacked him at the same time.
Happy felt a stab of fear, and he finally understood why someone like One Emperor will lose to Mad Monk before he executed all ten moves.
It seemed like the stronger the player was, the intensity of the attacks he had to face will also increase. The higher the player’s qi realm, the more likely that the player will lose.
At that moment, Happy no longer dared to remain idle, he activated Golden Body Arhat and circulated Shifting Stars madly at the same time to use everything he had to make those six attacks destroy each other.
But it was clear that Happy still did not possess that strength.
Boom!
His body shuddered violently, and those six punches landed on him in back to back. A dull, metallic sound rose.
The attacks from the peak of Myth Realm landed fully on Happy’s body.
“Urk!”
Even though he activated Golden Body Arhat and had Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting me, Happy was still injured badly.
He knelt on one knee with a face as pale as ash, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Mad Monk’s voice came from the fog. “Amitabha. You are currently the only person who remains alive after I delivered nine of my attacks. You do indeed live up to your name as the strongest martial artist among the younger generation in the Chinese plains.”
“Cough…”
Happy coughed up blood on the ground, and he laughed wanly while his mouth was filled with blood. “Thank you for your praise, but there is still one move left.”
“Indeed. Your organs have already shifted when those three attacks landed on your body just now. You are already heavily injured, and Nine Yang Divine Skill will not be able to help you recover within a short period of time either. The final attack will contain my full power, and even the current six sect leaders will not be able to live through it, much less you. It will be better if you leave.”
When Mad Monk said this, it was clear that he decided to spare Happy because he valued talent.
Even though Chen Kaixin knew that Happy had already done everything he could and forced a matchless elite in One with the World Realm to use his full power. But human power simply cannot breach the gap of three qi realms.
“Let’s go. If we can’t get Tendon Changing Classic, I’ll just practice something else.”
“No!” Happy forcefully circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill with bloodshot eyes. An astonishing force instantly surged out of his body.
Boom!
Most of the thick fog in the area instantly evaporated because of a terrifying and fiery will. A vague figure can be seen not too far into the distance.
Mad Monk let out a low cry of surprise, as if he was deeply shocked. “You actually managed to learn the evil cult’s Heaven Destruction Art…”
Happy laughed.
This martial art came from a Myth Realm evil cult great elder. When Happy nearly killed him, he had all his blood flow backwards, and he forcefully restored his qi while he was about to die, and he nearly fled from Happy’s hands pathetically. Truly, he was a ruthless character.
It was also from that fight that Happy received Heaven Destruction Art.
While his qi and blood flowed in reverse, the internal injuries in his organs were instantly suppressed, and Nine Yang Divine Skill used the momentum to surge forward and quickly restore the qi Happy used just now to activate Golden Body Arhat.
His qi instantly recovered to its peak condition, and he exuded a horrifying presence, similar to a soldier who faced death in the eye!
This scene not only caused Mad Monk to look surprised, even Chen Kaixin, who was hidden in his body, finally knew just what sort of distance existed between him and Happy.
“In truth, choosing you as my successor is not a bad choice, but it is a pity that you are not from Shaolin Temple, and I absolutely do not wish for my legacy to fall in the hands of someone who is not part of Shaolin Temple. But since you insist on receiving my tenth strike, I will fulfill your request.”
At the final moment, Mad Monk decided to speak the truth, and Happy’s heart froze when he heard this.
‘Mad Monk had never been able to find a successor in the other world because of this…?
‘He was always waiting for an outstanding Shaolin Temple disciple to appear!
‘It’s no wonder then why an elite like One Emperor couldn’t enter Mad Monk’s sight!
‘No wonder!’
But at the moment Mad Monk said those words, Happy knew he was in danger.
Since Mad Monk did not wish for someone who was not part of Shaolin Temple to receive his legacy, he will definitely use his full strength for his last attack!
Besides, even if he died here and returned to the mountain, he might not receive Mad Monk’s legacy.
His train of thought ended.
Then, a terrifying presence that nearly froze the entire space descended on Punishment Mount.
Suddenly, Happy felt as if he was fighting against heaven and earth.
Mad Monk vanished from his sight.
Nine Yang Divine Skill’s spiritual sense cannot help him locate Mad Monk’s location either!
“Damn it.”
Happy knew that Mad Monk had become serious, and this time, he will definitely deliver a lightning fast attack.
He was about to receive a full powered attack from an elite at One with the World Realm. Something that Happy did not even dare imagine over the past few years was about to appear.
He sucked in a deep breath, and suddenly, Happy remembered an item in his Universe Bag.
Right before Mad Monk attacked, he gritted his teeth and brought out that item resolutely from his Universe Bag!
“Nirvana and Reincarnation!”
A huge palm was formed above Happy’s head.
It was as if it was Buddha’s palm descending from heaven itself. It was shockingly fast, and it instantly sealed off all of Happy’s retreats. A suffocating presence was also fixed on Happy’s body.
The feeling as if this palm itself can create the world spilled out from it.
However, right at the moment the huge palm gathered in the fog, Happy brought out a sword casket from his Universe Bag, and his qi surged forth before it retracted. Then, a sword qi that felt as if a supreme being had descended in the world shot into the clouds from Punishment Mount.
The great sword will brought with it a fierce and awe-inspiring presence. It instantly crushed the palm above Happy’s head, and it also destroyed the layers of clouds and fog above Punishment Mount!
Whine…
A sword whine can be heard nonstop on Punishment Mount!
Heaven Crystal was held in Happy’s hands, and it shone with dazzling colors. At the moment the palm was destroyed, it regained its mobility.
It was also at that same moment that Happy saw Mad Monk’s incredibly surprised face when the fog and clouds dispersed.
He appeared to be a middle-aged monk, and he was born with a normal face. His monk robes were simple, and he sat at the edge of the cliff, but he also gave off a dignified presence, as if he had become one with the world, and in fact, he was the world.
“I, Happy, greet my senior!”
“Is the weapon in your hand the legendary divine weapon, Heaven Crystal…? It’s no wonder then why you can break my attack… Amitabha.”
Mad Monk lowered his gaze in anguish and called out the name of Buddha. “Since this is god’s will, I am thus powerless to fight against it. I will take you in as the successor of my legacy.”
“Thank you for fulfilling my wish, senior!”
Happy was delighted, but soon, he coughed up blood on the ground.
The gentle presence from Heaven Crystal had already vanished. After it was suppressed by the water in Heavenly Lake, he can only use Heaven Crystal for three seconds each time.
Once those three seconds passed, it will become harder for him to use its sword qi, and the sword will automatically hurt its user.
The time had passed just now. A fierce and violent sword qi charged into his organs. If it were not for Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting his body, his organs will have been completely wrecked by Heaven Crystal, which had helped him just now.
Happy did not dare remain negligent.
He quickly brought out the sword casket and placed Heaven Crystal in it so that it did not come into contact with anything that was sentient.
“Heaven Crystal is indeed a divine weapon, but it’s a pity that its soul is already corrupted, and it is filled with violence. This should be because it has already fused with an evil spirit. Just now, you must have used another method to suppress that violent presence, which is why it didn’t hurt you immediately when you used it.” Mad Monk watched Happy put away Heaven Crystal before he said those words.
“Master, what you said is true. I went to Heavenly Crystal and nourished it for a day before I brought it out. Now that I’ve put it back, I will need another full day before I can use it again.”
“I see.” Mad Monk nodded slowly. “It is indeed a way to use the water in Heavenly Lake to nourish Heaven Crystal and suppress the violent evil spirit. But unfortunately, you cannot get rid of the root of the problem. If you can truly possess and be in control of Heaven Crystal, you can even fight against those at the peak of Myth Realm.”
Happy said nothing.
The power from Heaven Crystal just now was already enough to let Happy witness that he can even destroy an attack from an elite at One with the World Realm. Naturally, he regarded Heaven Crystal much higher than before now.
“Did you hear that?” Happy gave a lecture to Chen Kaixin in his heart. “If you run into powerful enemies that you can’t fight with brute force in the future, you can bring Heaven Crystal out. But you have to be careful. You can only use Heaven Crystal when no other plans work. Also, make sure that you protect it well!”
“Got it.” Chen Kaixin was incredibly excited. “Hurry up. Let’s see what we got from the old monk.”
“This is Shaolin Temple’s classic, Tendon Changing Classic.”
As Happy listened to the familiar words, he put Tendon Changing Classic away into his bag, and he immediately chose to practice it.
“You should have mastered Tendon Changing Classic three years later. Come to me by then, and you will get Marrow Cleansing Classic.”
After he said those words, Mad Monk’s body was concealed by fog and clouds that swiftly enveloped him once more, and he vanished into them again.
*****
Happy ordered Chen Kaixin to go back to the branch and practice Tendon Changing Classic and told him to tell him as soon as possible if he received any news about Wild Wolves and Evil Emperor. Then, Happy gave up the authority to use the body before he returned to his own dimension.
When he woke up, Happy felt as if he just woke up from deep slumber, and he felt as if he was well rested. He opened his eyes and looked at the clock next to him.
It was four in the morning.
Xu Yao was still fast asleep.
Happy picked up the VR Helmet next to him gently and placed it properly on his head.
Chen Kaixin was already prepared to work hard and fight over there. He cannot fall back in this world.
Right now, he had Ten True Dragon Styles in his hand, and he also practiced Tendon Changing Classic. Happy cannot wait to try reaching Moksha Realm now.
*****
Even though it was dawn, there were still people moving up and down the mountain trail in Shaolin Temple. Many Shaolin Temple disciples had their legs bound with puttee, and they held large water buckets while they walked up the mountain.
When they reached the pavilion at the mountainside, they cannot help but cast a glance at the player who was practicing his qi cultivation technique in the pavilion.
It was not hard to practice qi cultivation techniques at the later stages of the game, but attributes were the key to decide victory. Shaolin Temple disciples were more willing to spend time and energy on training that involved body movements and attributes. They will not act like the person in the pavilion, who wasted time in practicing more qi cultivation techniques. This sort of training method was already eliminated a few years ago.
