136 Bodhidharma Cave and the Eighteen Bronzemen (1/2)

Since Shangguan Lian was a powerful player who had quite good fighting skills, his state of mind and personality were quite good. When he saw that he had no hope in snatching the brocade box, he did not continue bothering Happy. He left without any reservations.

Happy had a good feeling about him and a deep impression because of it.

If Shangguan Lian had been as much of a rascal as the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect and continued to bother him just because he had some abilities, he might truly pose a great threat to Happy.

Happy remembered his name and decisively sent him a friend request.

”Friendships are forged in fire, why don't we be friends?”

”Hah! Alright! Friend, I wish you a safe journey!”

Shangguan Lian answered swiftly. He agreed to the request, and a messenger pigeon flapped its snow-white wings to appear in front of Happy. The simple words telling him that his request had gone through showed that Shangguan Lian was a free and unrestrained soul that was unique to wandering swordsmen.

Happy put away the letter and smiled slightly before he picked up the brocade box that was not far away from him. He checked the map, and the relaxed expression on his face vanished to reveal a slightly grave and bitter smile.

If a person gained something, they would also lose something. That was indeed true.

Once Master Xuan Kong left, Happy lost his safe haven.

It was an unexpected surprise that he was able to solve the exquisite Go game and receive the Ten True Dragon Styles. That reward was even better than the rewards he could gain from the brocade box, but he could not bear the thought of giving up on the brocade box which he had stalked for so long.

Besides, there were hundreds of thousands of martial artists from everywhere gathered in Mount Song. Once word got out, the never-ending mountain ranges would definitely be searched through thoroughly.

If he wanted to deceive the world and leave Mount Song, it would be very difficult.

”Ah, I've become greedy,” Happy mocked himself.

During the three years he played the game in his past life, he never obtained an ultimate martial art that was better than high-tier martial arts. Right then, by a stroke of luck, he had solved the exquisite Go game and received the martial art Master Xuan Kong had created himself—Ten True Dragon Styles.

And based on Happy's plans, he would be able to gain Shifting Stars, which was an ultimate martial art the Murong Clan would not teach to outsiders. Logically speaking, the fortuitous events he ran into in this life were much better, but he still could not give up on the unknown treasure contained within the small brocade box. He was indeed a little too greedy!

However, a human's curiosity was endless.

Also, during the storyline quest that led to banditry running rampant in the game in his past life, he missed the chance and did not show his abilities. Now that he had a chance to do everything over, he, too, had the ambition to prove himself and make a name for himself.

Furthermore, Shifting Stars was a technique that was more suited for group fights, because it was a technique that became strong if the enemy was strong. It was unlike Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm[1], which was based on fierce and strong skills and equipped with brutal methods to kill right from the start.

Also, Happy only had one style available to him right then from Ten True Dragon Styles. It was not enough for him to sweep through the lands. Hence, he absolutely did not want to give up on the brocade box!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Where could he go to safely avoid the pursuers for the final half day with the brocade box?

Happy left his original spot in a flash while swiftly sweeping through the areas on the map, looking for a place which no one knew or could easily approach.

As a veteran who had stayed in Mount Song for years, Happy was very familiar with most of the quests in the area. He also knew many of the places.

Hence, he soon determined two rather suitable areas where he could hide.

One was Bodhidharma Cave, which was a place Shaolin Disciples did not dare to step foot into or even draw near as of then. It was also known as Repentance Cliff.

The terrain there was out-of-the-way and difficult to access. It was even difficult for birds to get there, and it was abnormally bleak and arduous inside. It was rumored that the place was where Founder Bodhidharma isolated himself to train. The walls had the high-tier martial arts Bodhidharma Qi Cultivation Technique and Bodhidharma Sword Technique, which Founder Bodhidharma had created himself and personally carved on the walls.
