12 A Small Trick to Practice Martial Arts (1/2)

Up until then, there hadn't been many players who could truly go up against local ruffians in World of Martial Arts. They were only starting to accumulate the experience of real battles and the understanding of their techniques.

However, there were few players who had the courage to try and accumulate this experience and understanding. Hence, their knowledge of the intelligent NPCs who were smarter than wild wolves and fierce beasts was not high.

In this regard, there might be no one who could compare to Happy!

With three years of experience from all the things he had gone through in the game, he had certain advantages in the game now that it had only just been launched, though they were not advantages that were worthy to be spoken of.

Yet they were quite practical, and he also had some ingenious strategies he could use.

Villain Li Shan's true strength was about the level of a martial artist in Gate Realm, and his weapon was of pretty good quality. Only players who had truly reached Gate Realm would be able to fight against him.

Once a player successfully defeated Li Shan, the quest would be completed. A quest such as this would then not be triggered by them ever again. Even if the player did run into some local rascals, the NPCs would just run away, since they would be on the lookout for the player.

A powerful player from Happy's previous life had known that he would never be able to fight against the rascals once he completed the quest, so he deliberately tried to hunt one down after rejecting the quest.

Because of it, something amazing was revealed!

As long as the player rejected the quest and ambushed the local rascals afterwards, their fighting strength would be reduced so much that it would not even be half of what it previously was. This meant that they would be very easy to deal with.

Later on, many smart new players treated Li Shan post-quest as an ATM machine. They would take away his one hundred taels of silver crumbs and his Refined Steel Sword.

There were also a handful of people who would intentionally seek out rascals by lurking in remote alleys to force them to be their free sparring partner so they could train their normal martial arts!

Happy had also been enlightened by a friend later on and used the drunk rascals who only had half their strength to practice and master many of the martial arts he had gained later in the game. The drunk rascals' strength was rated as high-tier, but they would not kill anyone, so they were much gentler compared to the bandits, robbers, rapists, and other criminals of that level.

Of course, Happy did not wish for this secret to be known by others. Once he attracted Li Shan's attention, he swiftly brought the enraged Li Shan to a deserted wilderness.

”You want to run?”

Li Shan was unable to contain his rage after he was looked down upon and provoked by a boy. With the money in his pocket, he chased after him.

There were a few other players on the government-made road. When they saw the chase, curiosity appeared on their faces… but Happy looked young, just like a child, which made it clear that he was a player who had just joined the game a few days ago. Hence, they did not pay too much attention to him. They just watched the two people disappear and continued on their way.

Soon, Happy led Li Shan into a forest some distance away and looked around. When he saw that there were no people around them, he was no longer afraid of being found.

The moment he stopped, Li Shan's enraged roars reached him from behind him.

”Brat! I'm going to rip your bones from your body!”

”Perfect timing!”

Happy turned around and kicked the ground with a Boy Worshipping Guanyin. Then, he struck Li Shan's bosom at an even faster speed.

Bang!

The NPC did not have time to defend. Happy's palm strike struck Li Shan's chest dead center.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

'So tough!'

Happy was stunned. Even though he was prepared for it, he was still shocked by the huge rebound from Li Shan's body. It would indeed be difficult for a new player without qi to go up against a martial artist who was nearly in Gate Realm.

If Happy had struck him with Shaolin's Long Fist at the sixth realm, it would have felt no different from scratching an itch for Li Shan!

Happy did not wait for the rascal to counterattack. He turned around, and since Li Shan was still tipsy and not in his tip-top shape, Happy swiftly moved behind him. With Warrior Monk's Hand Flip, he struck Li Shan again, making the NPC lose his balance and fall forward.

He then delivered two consecutive strikes on the fallen man. Against the Ferocious Wild Wolves, it would have been very difficult to increase the level of his Shaolin's Long Fist with two strikes, but at that moment, the progress bar jumped twice and rushed straight to Level 68.

But even this did not free Li Shan from his drunken state.

Happy knew that once Li Shan got a firm footing, the battle would become exceptionally difficult. Hence, he decided not to be merciful. He closed in on the man in just a few steps and used Golden Dragon Stretches Claws.
