786 Qi Rushes to the Stars in Heaven (2/2)
In truth, Happy had long since noticed that while Responsible Hero's sword technique was very fierce, all his confidence was focused on that one skill, and once he suffered a setback, it will be very difficult for him to rebuild his confidence.
Although that one sword slash gathered together countless blood, sweat, and tears from Responsible Hero, if he had to reach this stage within a short one year, it will be very difficult for him to take care of other aspects.
Happy could tell Responsible Hero's weakness with just one glance.
Defense.
Responsible Hero practiced the sword draw day by day diligently, and he absolutely had no experience in defense, neither did he practice a high-tier body fortification.
Even though his abilities in his sword draw was something that even One Emperor admitted defeat to willingly and Happy had to use three ultimate techniques to fend against it, once someone saw through his weakness, Responsible Hero was not difficult to deal with.
The system notification came.
”Ding!
”Defeat Responsible Hero in a duel! Obtained 100 World of Martial Arts Reputation Points!”
Boom!
A golden yellow flag rose from the ground before it swiftly vanished.
”Thank you for your guidance.” Responsible Hero also noticed his weaknesses and what he was lacking from this duel. Once he listened to Happy's words, he nodded and picked up his longsword from the ground. ”From today onwards, I will continue to practice my sword draw, and one day, when I've perfected my skills, I will come to you again for a duel!”
As he spoke, he had already become calm once more, and his words were said with a firm tone.
Happy nodded.
After practicing his sword for an entire year, this boy's temperament had already become so tenacious that it was terrifying. He was so young… His successes in the future might not lose to him and One Emperor.
”I'll see you soon.”
When he saw Responsible Hero get up and was prepared to return to the courtyard, Happy suddenly remembered his other goal for coming here, and he quickly called out to the boy, ”Wait.”
Responsible Hero came to a swift stop, and he turned around without saying a word.
”In truth, one of the reasons why I came here was to witness your sword draw, but there is also another reason behind my visit. I'm doing a quest right now, and I need to visit your master, Senior Ximen.” Right when he finished speaking, not only were the martial artists in the area shocked, even Responsible Hero was taken aback.
”You want to visit my master?'
”That's right. Could you tell him about me? Just tell him that I've come on orders from the faction leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, and I'm here to talk a little with him.”
”Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?” Responsible Hero committed this name to memory and nodded. ”Alright, I'll go inside and ask, but I can't promise you that my master will agree to it. Wait a little.”
Once the door was closed, it was soon opened. Responsible Hero cast Happy a strange glance and made a gesture for him to enter. He lowered his voice and gave him a reminder. ”My master didn't actually agree to talk to you, but once he heard that I lost to you, he decided to meet you. You'll have to seize the chance yourself.”
Happy quickly wrapped his fist in his palm and entered.
In shock, the group of players watched Happy and Responsible Hero enter the alley. Then, once Responsible Hero closed the door, their curiosity became even greater, and many people were reluctant to leave. Messenger pigeons flew out of Beijing one after another!
In the courtyard of another grand mansion in Beijing was the middle-aged Wandering Know-it-all, who was dressed in a long white robe and looked like an immortal. He sat upright in front of an eight trigrams taichi chart that was spread in front of him, and he had Universe Secrets Inkstone in hand. He frowned while he stared at the items on the eight trigrams chart, and he frowned even further.
”Two million Chinese soldiers and one million Mongolian armored cavaliers. Our strength is actually equally matched. This is strange. Evil King Shi Zhixuan, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, and Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan… these big fishes all show signs that they will run wild in the battlefield. Their qi rushed to the stars in heaven. Their signs of life and death are in chaos, and I cannot predict their survival.”
