“Another died.”

“Tsk, tsk, seems like he’s just at Life and Death Realm. No wonder he’s so weak.”

There were few people near the Guanlin Temple in a small town at the foot of Mount Song. A few people with pale faces sat down cross-legged and chatted with each other. When they noticed another person appearing inside Guanlin Temple, they had shocked expressions appear on their faces before they looked away after they lost interest in him.

Happy ignored the people outside Guanlin Temple. He took one Small Reversion Pill. His true qi circulated on its own. While it suppressed and treated his internal injuries, Happy walked toward the outside of the town without stopping.

“Huh?” The players who were revived in Guanlin Temple always looked pale and horrible. They looked dispirited and angry, and will have to first sit down cross-legged to restore their qi and blood before anything else. There were very few people who will take one Small Reversion Pill that cost ten thousand taels of silver like Happy once they came out.

His move caused people to sense a domineering air from him.

“He’s a rich one.”

“Hey, friend, please stop for a while.”

One of them called out to Happy.

Happy turned his head around to cast them a look. He frowned a little, but did not feel any sort of aversion toward them, because the people who called out to him were clearly Shaolin Temple disciples. “Is there something wrong?”

“Urk, no. I mean, friend, since you came out just now, we’d like to know whether you also died at the back of the mountain. Were you also killed by the madman with Lion’s Roar?”

Those few players were all at Moksha Realm, but they can sense an invisible wave of pressure from Happy. Even though he was a Life and Death Realm player, they could feel the presence of a sect elder who stood superior to them from him. Their joking tone instantly diminished by a large degree.

“Lion’s Roar? Madman?”

Happy had just been killed by Mad Monk, and he could not understand what was going on for the time being. But very soon, he had a thought bloom in his head, and surprised delight instantly rose on his face.

“Are you talking about Monk Zhi Heng and Master Xuan Kong at the top of Mount Song?”

This time, it was the few people across Happy who looked at each other at a loss.

“Yeah.” Those people stared at Happy strangely.

Mount Song’s Erudite Monk Zhi Heng and Master Xuan Kong were legendary characters that practically every single player knew. This was especially so when it came to the exquisite Go game Master Xuan Kong created. It attracted multiple players into heading over to him to break it everyday, and it was no longer considered a secret.

This person before them had steady footsteps, and his qi was pure and fierce. He should indeed be a Shaolin Temple disciple, so why was his tone so strange?

“Thank you for telling me. I will be taking my leave now!”

Happy was delighted, because things were better than what he expected. He cannot help but let out a long shout before he tapped against the ground. With just a few jumps, he charged out of the town, causing the players behind him to feel completely baffled.

“Did that guy just have a hysterical episode?”

“Does he actually think that he can clear the game?”

“Even domestic and foreign high dan Go players lost to it, and he thinks he can?”

They fell silent, and the group gradually returned to normal, but they did not know that they had revealed a great, joyous news to Happy with their unintentional question.

Monk Zhi Heng was still around, and Master Xuan Kong had not left just yet. This meant that no one had managed to clear the exquisite Go game, and no one had managed to get Master Xuan Kong’s Ten True Dragon Styles, which he created.

Ten True Dragon Styles was the first ultimate technique he obtained in the other world. It was also an ultimate technique that was practically invincible. If he can also get that ultimate technique in this world, his strength will increase by a large degree if he used it along with his already good foundation. Very soon, he will climb up the ranks of a top-cla.s.s elite once more.

The gloom he felt when he came down from Punishment Mount was instantly gone. Happy ran madly and headed to Mount Song without stopping.

However, at the same time he received this news, Happy suddenly came up with an inference that caused his emotions to surge.

Since he was moving about two parallel universes and since he can use his experience in this world over there, did that mean that he can also use the experiences he had gathered in the other world over here so that it can help him stand above other players again?

When he thought of this, Happy’s heart, which was already burning with pa.s.sion, became even more excitement.

The confusion and perplexity when he reentered the game vanished in an instant. He had the vague feeling that he had finally found the tunnel that will lead him to fit into this world.

The Chen Kaixin at the other side had already promised him that if he ran into any problems, he will try to hold out until midnight before he had Happy move over to solve it.

If Happy were there, he can still make arrangements and do certain things, such as gather resources which had yet to be obtained by the people in this world.

Also, he had more room for maneuver, which will allow him better ease at controlling things.

The Evil Emperor over here practiced the martial arts on Sky Demon Slip, but the current Evil Emperor in Chen Kaixin’s world had definitely not collected all ten Sky Demon Slips yet and had not obtained Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. His strength was probably below One Emperor.

He was definitely not as threatening as the Evil Emperor over here.

When he thought about this in depth, Happy instantly had a new thought and plan emerge in his mind.

While he thought about this, Happy did not slow down. With his injured body, he rushed madly to Mount Song.

His current goal was still Master Xuan Kong. Even though he did not get the legacy from Mad Monk, he managed to stay alive through all the ten moves, because his fall was just an accident, and he will even get Ten True Dragon Styles! Even though he fell off the mountain, his rewards were great, and he will have to thank—

Wait.

While he was on the path to the back of the mountain, Happy’s heart suddenly let out an inexplicable thump, and he mumbled, “I’m still alive. That’s right, I’m still alive, but Mad Monk already used ten moves on me.”

He fell silent for a moment, and an incredibly strange but uncertain smile suddenly bloomed on Happy’s lips. “I don’t know whether he will acknowledge me.”

He fell silent.

“Who cares? I still have a lot of time. I might as well go over and ask him to get a clear idea of the situation.”

After thinking it through, Happy spontaneously changed his direction and headed to Punishment Mount.

*****

“Senior brother?”

“Huh? When did you leave? Why didn’t we see it?”

“You look really pale, did you…?”

Those Shaolin Temple disciples were still guarding the cliff. When they saw Happy hastily moving to them, they were instantly stunned.

“I missed a step and fell.”

Happy was in a hurry to reorganize his thoughts. He quickly gave a simple explanation before he hurriedly headed to the other side of the chains.

His junior brothers at the cliff stared at Happy’s back as he rushed into the fog. They were dumbfounded.

“Missed a step?”

“Sigh… That senior brother probably went to search for Mad Monk.”

“He must be suffering from internal injuries now. Oh well, let’s not trigger him later. We’ll try our best not to mention Mad Monk.”

Those Shaolin Temple disciples nodded at each other quietly.

*****

At the moment he stepped into the thick fog, Happy heard Mad Monk cry out with a grave tone. “You managed to live even after withstanding that blow from me?”

“It has been ten moves. Thank you for being merciful.”

Happy cunningly decided not to continue with the conversation. He led the conversation straight to the main point.

Silence instantly fell in the thick fog.

But Happy was not in a hurry. He sat down cross-legged and waited for Mad Monk to come up with his answer.

In truth, when he heard Mad Monk’s words, he already knew that his inference was most likely correct. Mad Monk had already executed all ten strikes, and he can be considered to have pa.s.sed the test, even though he missed a step at the end. He had already obtained the right to obtain Mad Monk’s legacy.

Just as he expected, after around three minutes pa.s.sed, Mad Monk’s voice rose again.

“Oh well. Since you’re a Shaolin Temple disciple, naturally, you have the right to obtain my legacy. You aren’t proud or rash, and the foundation for your martial arts is pretty solid. You should be able to live up to my legacy.”

Happy sucked in a deep breath. “You agreed to it, master?”

“You pa.s.sed the test.” Mad Monk heaved a long sigh. “It has almost been forty years. I didn’t expect that I will still be able to find someone who can inherit my legacy. What is your name?”

“I am a secular disciple. My name is Happy.”

“Even though you obtained my acknowledgement, my martial arts came from Shaolin Temple, and if you practice my martial arts, you are truly only practicing Shaolin Temple’s martial arts. Take this book.”

Right when he finished speaking, the sound of air being pushed aside came charging at Happy.

Happy raised his hand, and he grabbed an item made of silk.

A system notification arrived.

“Ding! Obtained Shaolin Temple’s cla.s.sic, Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic.”

Happy was delighted. He quickly put Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic into his Universe Bag. “Thank you for giving me the cla.s.sic, master.’

“Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic is just an art to strengthen the body, but when it is used along with Shaolin Temple’s zen martial arts, it can allow the bones in the body to become st.u.r.dier, and in the end, you can even perfect it. You can form a st.u.r.dy layer of periosteum on your body and on your bones. It will be difficult for normal martial arts to pose as any threat to you. In the past, I used Shaolin Temple’s Marrow Cleansing Cla.s.sic and Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic to make all my acupressure points reach perfection. When I breathe, my qi will be completely replenished, and I can do so with ease. With it, I fought against hundreds of elites from the righteous and evil paths.”

Happy gradually became engrossed with what he heard.

What Mad Monk said was true.

No matter how great a martial art was, there will come a time where the user to run out of strength, and at that time, it can no longer be considered a supreme martial art. Only when a person’s body reached perfection and all his tendons and bones reached a state where nothing in the world can damage it will that person be undefeatable, and that was what it meant to be invincible.

“Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic can only train your tendons and bones. Once you master Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic, come to me three years later. If your spirit remains the same, I will teach you Marrow Cleansing Cla.s.sic.”

When he heard this, Happy was excited but disappointed at the same time.

Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic was a cla.s.sic from Shaolin Temple. It can strengthen the physical body by a large margin and increase the user’s attributes, and it can almost compare to Nine Yang Divine Skill. Marrow Cleansing Cla.s.sic was a mental cultivation technique that he must practice, because it can make him stronger and make him improve even further.

But he can only obtain Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic after three years, and it was incredibly far away from Happy.

However, since Mad Monk had already said that, Happy will not be able to change anything. If he can only obtain Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic, so be it.

It was already great that he can get Mad Monk’s legacy.

Besides, he still had Ten True Dragon Styles on the other mountain waiting for him.

Once he bade farewell to Mad Monk, Happy chose to practice Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic after he left the area with the fog.

[Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic:

[Shaolin Temple ultimate technique.

[Training requirements: Affinity: 200, Arm Strength: 200, Comprehension: 200.]

Among all training requirements that he had ever seen, these were the most terrifying values Happy had ever seen.

But during the three years of hard work Happy did, his basic attributes were already incredibly strong, and all of them had gone over two hundred points.

The system notification arrived.

“Ding!

“Successfully learned Shaolin Temple’s cla.s.sic, Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic. Inherited Mad Monk’s legacy.

“Tendon Changing Cla.s.s can broaden your meridian system and increase the amount of qi you can store in your body. It will also increase the speed in which you circulate your qi.”

Broadening the width of his meridian system and increasing the amount of qi he can store meant that he can increase his qi after only circulating his qi through his body once.

Increasing the speed of circulation meant that the speed in which he can recover his qi had already increased.

Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic: Level 1.

When Happy activated Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic and had it circulate in him quietly, he noticed the true meaning of what it meant by Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic broadening the width of his meridian system.

Every time he circulated his qi, it was incredibly difficult.

The process was difficult, and he will need full concentration before he can push his qi forward.

But every time he circulated his true qi, his meridian system will feel as if it had been widened a little.

Yet even if his qi circulated through his body extremely slowly, he managed to increase his qi points by 0.3 within less than three minutes.

At that moment, Happy was still seventy-five percent away from completely one full circulation.
