213 Shifting Flower Palace, Nian! (1/2)
Compared to the situation in the beginning when Happy was chased by numerous forces of power after he became famous, he began to live a very satisfactory and relaxing life.
For three consecutive days, he stayed in Red Fog Forest to train and master his next low-level sword technique. He was in a high-level training ground in Wuhu, so no one came and bothered him.
By then, his qi was at 159.4. If the martial realm he was practicing could reach another realm, he would fully master the skill, and he would reach the third qi realm—Mystical Realm.
Even though the number of insanely powerful people on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank who had multiple high-tier martial arts in Grandmaster Realm had increased and there were also people who had reached Mystical Realm, Happy was not too bothered by it. The ranking on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank was still made based on a person's qi realm and the realms of their high-tier martial arts. Those two things were used as the basis of strength, and because of it, the ranking system was still a prototype. It was not perfect yet, and it did not matter whether he was on the ranking board or not.
As of then, there were still plenty of people who did not understand the fact that some martial arts reinforced each other while others countered each other. Many people just searched for high-tier martial arts with high damage and believed that the ones with the highest damage were the best. Of course, high speed did not mean supremacy either. Deliberately practicing speed would not allow anyone to reach the peak.
Happy only wanted to train in peace based on the training method in his previous life and go a step further to quickly become stronger.
Right then, his Flowering Knights' Song and Stormy Shadowless Kick had reached Grandmaster Realm. He could easily handle a normal martial artist, and he did not have any problems against some of the more powerful ones. There were few who could be his enemy among the many players…
One emperor, two empresses, and the few people from among the three kings and the seven dukes who had not registered for the Sword Among Us Tournament at Mount Hua for some reason were such.
However, Happy believed that with his experience and abilities, even if those people inherited the ultimate martial arts beforehand, they would not be his opponent. Those people would only slowly reveal their strength and rise above others during the later stages of the game.
'I'll wait for you to appear in this life.'
Happy's gaze was firm. He lifted his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword in the refreshing and pink peach blossom forest and flung away two female bandits with pink veils and curvaceous bodies in an earnest manner. It was a very easy action for him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Red light flashed, and two darts struck Happy, but they were sent bouncing away by the flashing golden light of his body fortification technique.
Golden Bell Cocoon flashed madly, and its light became slightly dimmer. The strength of the darts did not lose to the full powered strike from a high-tier martial art.
As one of the outer sect forces of Shifting Flower Palace stationed in Wuhu, the pink-veiled female bandits had reached the later stage of Mystical Realm, and they were not to be easily provoked. Red Fog Forest was an area the players in Wuhu did not easily approach. Even Happy had to use his full strength and act carefully inside it.
However, it was a very good choice to train his sword technique and also increase the realm of his Golden Bell Cocoon.

”Hurry up and stop it!”
”Good, we lured it to the forest—”
”It's too sturdy. We actually didn't manage to hurt it! We'll have to deal with it slowly in the forest!”
”We'll be rich this time, it's Nian! Haha! Hurry! If someone else sees it, it won't be good for us.”
On a government-made road that was rather far away from Wuhu were around ten players. They were surrounding a strange-looking yellow creature with an honest expression, and they looked very excited and worked up. While attacking nonstop, they yelled and chased the creature into the forest three hundred and thirty feet away.
”It's running!”
”Idiot! Open up a gap in our encirclement! The people standing in the direction of the forest, move! Chase it into the forest and don't let others see it!”
The group took action while talking all at once.
Those people were all members of the same sect. They had formed a party to carry out a mission in an area near Wuhu, but they did not expect that a strange-looking creature would suddenly rush over from outside the government-made road as if there was nothing going on around it. It did not treat them as anything important and just grazed on the grass outside like a normal cow.
