  Even though Happy had come to understand Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and Ten True Dragon Styles at the same time as well as obtained a verification from Mad Monk that there was something very similar about them, neither Happy nor Mad Monk were able to fuse them together to form the real Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm.

  To Mad Monk, Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm was strong, but perhaps it was precisely because the two parts produced different effects and were in conflict with each other that the sect master of Beggar’s Sect resolutely discarded ten moves and chose the other part—Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm—which could stand on its own and was very straightforward.

  However, Master Xiang Kong had somehow discovered that the other ten moves of Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm could form their own style. Once he modified it, he formed the unique Ten True Dragon Styles.

  Even though both sets came from the same source, they could not be fused and used together.

  “I believe that Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm should not be two ultimate techniques that are separated. The person who initially created this ultimate technique must have had a way to fuse them together and use as one, but boy, you will need to explore and understand this on your own. Let’s see whether you can produce Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm’s might.”

  When Happy descended the mountain, he was still thinking about Mad Monk’s last advice.

  He pondered about the two different styles of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and Ten True Dragon Styles.

  While going down, he was so preoccupied with his thought that he did not even notice that the players along the way had increased exponentially, and countless gazes swept over him from the forests on the sides of the road. They contained faint killing intent and cold thoughts, but they also had endless wariness and caution. Those gazes intersected with each other in the air, and the dangerous but grave atmosphere became stronger with each passing moment.

  The Shaolin Temple disciples along the way also noticed the strange atmosphere on the mountain, and they quickly avoided the path.

  However, what disappointed them was that even though the number of people on the road just kept on increasing until it reached the point that they looked like they had lined up by the side to send Happy off, he just continued walking down the mountain with calm footsteps. Nothing around him managed to attract his attention.

  Everything was peaceful along the way.

  It was only when Happy arrived at the foot of Mount Song and reached a pavilion that he was familiar with that his attention was finally attracted by two figures who stood up.

  His pupils shrank slightly.

  “Hall Master Dream, Vice Hall Master Blood.”

  The two people were Hall Master Dream Clouds and his old enemy, Blood Robes, who had chased him here from Beijing. Happy quickly looked around him, and it was only then that he noticed that while he was shocked by the truth about Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palm, he had, at some point, become heavily surrounded by Class One Hall.

  However, it was not the first time that Happy saw this sort of lineup. Even though he was surprised, he did not show any change in his expression. He redirected his gaze at the two familiar figures outside the pavilion.

  \r \r \r

  ‘Zhou Yu?’

  But he was slightly different from the Zhou Yu Happy had previously met. The man had been like General Zhou Lang, but now, he looked a little terrible. His hair was a mess, and he leaned on the pavilion with a drunk demeanor. He also continued to pour the wine from a pot into his mouth. Happy could smell it from a distance.

  ‘Looks like his fight with One Emperor affected him pretty badly.’

  There was also Tang Feng standing beside Zhou Yu. He was someone Happy had met twice, and who was the hall master of Assassin Hall.

  He was the eldest senior brother of West Shu’s Tang Sect. He never built a sect in Happy’s previous life, but he was a powerful player who people believed had the strength equal to an entire sect. At that moment, he looked at Happy with a complicated expression.

  “Happy.”

  “This is how I imagined Class One Hall’s presence to be like.”

  Happy ignored Tang Feng’s fierce gaze and the vicious eyes trained on him. He stopped walking forward and turned to the side to approach the pavilion with a calm expression.

  The crowd was stunned speechless.

  Dream Clouds, who sat quietly in the pavilion, finally had a surprised expression that others could not notice behind the veil.

  She had thought that Happy was brave because of his skills when he calmly walked down the mountain until he was outside the pavilion without batting an eyelid.

  But at that moment, three of the monsters of Class One Hall were present there! They even had Tang Feng, who was the hall master of Assassin Hall and was famous for assassinations!

  Yet Happy just went straight to the pavilion where four powerful players were.

  Blood Robes and Dream Clouds’ gazes instantly turned solemn and fiery. They stared at Happy walking over with complicated expressions on their faces while hoping to find at least a shred of nervousness or panic on him.

  But even when he walked past Tang Feng—a person regarded with wariness—Happy just continued on with steady footsteps. Instead, Tang Feng was the one who moved back slightly and made way. His hands seized something, and his gaze was wary.

  At that moment, the hearts of the people from Class One Hall were practically in their throats.

  The drunk Zhou Yu even subconsciously put down his pot of wine, and his bleary eyes shone with a faint hint of clarity and caution.

  “As expected of the top ranked player on Famous People Rank. Your courage is something that I admire.”

  Dream Clouds sat in front of the stone table. After she spoke, she lifted her wine cup toward Happy and drained it in one go!

  Happy did not stop moving. He walked past Dream Clouds and stood behind her, making her act of adopting a superior position to fall flat.

  More than one thousand Class One Hall elites outside the pavilion watched this scene incredulously.

  It was the first time someone would be so arrogant as to have his back turned to Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, and Tang Feng. In the crowd’s eyes, it was basically the same as Happy signing his own death warrant.

  But Happy did it anyway.

  Not only did Blood Robes and Dream Clouds go still, even Zhou Yu and Tang Feng felt an invisible pressure from Happy’s back and the sharp and intimidating metallic gloves on the hands he had behind his back.

  An entire fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set.

  Fourth-echelon Golden Gloves.

  Perfected Golden Bell Cocoon.

  Two ultimate techniques.

  If they could not instantly kill Happy, the four would have to face Happy’s thunderous counterattack. They would have to deal with an elite whose power reached Inaction Realm and who killed resolutely.

  At that moment, Happy spoke. A calm and indifferent voice slowly traveled from behind Dream Clouds.

  “After we parted at Light Summit, I had some things I wanted to settle with you, Hall Master Dream, but unfortunately, I had a quest with me, and I didn’t have the chance to talk about it with you in detail. I have to apologize to you about that.”

  Dream Clouds slowly poured herself a cup of wine.

  “I also came here today for that goal. I want to ask you, is there any possibility for us to compromise with each other?”

  “Compromise?” Happy’s voice turned cold. “Hall Master Dream, you didn’t come here for a compromise with this lineup, did you? If I don’t agree to your terms, won’t you have your people surge forward and kill me at Mount Song, then, kill me repeatedly outside Guanlin Temple despite the risk of having Embroidered Uniform Guards place a bounty on you?”

  The area fell silent again.

  Blood Robes stood in front of the stone table quietly. When he heard Happy’s words, his body shuddered slightly, and he subconsciously looked toward Dream Clouds.

  She had a silver veil covering her face, and the changes on her expression could not be seen. However, her gaze showed that she was still slightly shaken.

  There were no Class One Hall members at the nearest Guanlin Temple, but Assassin Hall was lurking there, and their goal was to prevent any news from leaking.

  It was unexpected then that Happy would expose them straight away.

  Blood Robes and Dream Clouds circulated their qi in secret. Tang Feng turned his body slightly, and together with Zhou Yu, who sat drunk outside the pavilion, they formed a huge net that could pounce on Happy at any moment.

  In a moment, the atmosphere inside the pavilion turned incredibly somber!
