“I don’t know what happened, but he hasn’t appeared for a few days.

  “He seems to have fallen into deep sleep again. I don’t know the specifics, but I’m guessing that it might have something to do with the strength of his mental strength.”

  Happy’s words caused Xu Xin to look up with her teary eyes.

  Xu Yao blinked, and she asked hesitantly, “The strength of his mental strength?”

  “Yeah, I’m guessing that this is the only explanation that works.”

  With a grave tone, Happy repeated the words Chen Kaixin told him in the start. “When I first came over, Chen Kaixin’s mind was very weak, and my desire for revenge was very strong, and he has always been suppressed by me. That’s why I was able to control his body at that time for one and a half years.”

  “But didn’t you say that after you exacted revenge, you can never suppress him, and he’s now the one who is dominant over the body?” Xu Xin wiped her tears and asked.

  Happy put on a wan smile. Xu Xin had truly listened to the entire conversation that night. She might have been awakened because Xu Yao, the careless girl that she was, tripped over her own feet.

  But this was good too.

  Last time, he never knew how he should face her, but now that she knew, he might as well tell her everything, or else, every time he thought about it, he would feel a heavy feeling in his heart.

  “I saw his progress in the game. His training progress in the branch prison was just miserable. He’s just like a noob—no, he’s worse than a noob. It must be because he never went through any sort of simple training and was forced straight into Moksha Realm, causing him to be unable to get used to the situation. Besides, he doesn’t dare talk to you in reality, and it caused his mental strength to deplete.”

  When Happy said this, Xu Yao seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and she said, “If the strength of his mental strength caused problems to occur to him, then, could it be that your mental strength also became stronger?”

  Happy was stunned silent.

  Xu Yao quickly explained, “What I’m saying that could it be that your reluctance to leave Xin’er caused you to be even more concerned with everything over here, and without your knowledge, it became an obsession that is similar to the desire for revenge? Then, when he became weaker, you became stronger.

  “But the only thing I don’t understand is why you can move about while he can’t……” Xu Yao’s deductions caused Xu Yin to stop crying, and a hint of life shone in her eyes.

  Happy also had a thought bloom in his mind.

  Xu Yao’s deductions did indeed make sense.

  However, the fact that he could move between worlds was not something that this Chen Kaixin could control. Perhaps it was because he had spent time in both bodies before that they had formed some sort of magnetic properties with each other.

  Xu Yao spoke again, “Hang on. Chen Kaixin—I’m talking about the other one—mentioned that once you exacted your revenge, your mental strength became weaker. Will there be a possibility that when you no longer care so much about Xin’er, will Chen Kaixin wake up again?”

  Happy sucked in a sharp breath.

  What Xu Yao said made sense! But to have him not care as much about Xu Xin as before…… was a little hard……

  Over the past one and a half years, Xu Xin had already turned into a gentle spot in his heart that was not to be harmed even in the slightest. She was also the love that had troubled him greatly and was unable to face over this period of time when Chen Kaixin reclaimed his body.

  “.……Let’s eat.” Xu Xin wiped away her tears and sat back down.

  Xu Yao and Happy passed through this period of time in silence.

  \r \r \r

  Happy’s other body was still locked in the bathroom, and naturally, he cannot stay here for too long. When he saw Xu Xin and Xu Yao return to the kitchen, he sighed, went to the bedroom, entered the game, and continued to be in AFK.

  Right now, in this world, Happy was the only person in Moksha Realm, and he stood above everyone else. His Indestructible Body and Tendon Changing Classic were improving steadily, his qi was increasing by leaps and bounds, and his attributes were also growing exponentially. He did not need to worry about being surpassed.

  Besides, his other self was also practicing Tendon Changing Classic and Indestructible Body. The practical skills needed to use the techniques were in his head. He could pay attention to both sides, and he improved at an astonishing pace.

  *****

  “Why did you take such a long time?” When he came out of the bathroom, he was faced with Xu Yao’s slightly puzzled and anxious gaze.

  Happy could only shamelessly state that he had a stomach ache before he laid on the bed again.

  *****

  “You’re all here?”

  When he returned to the game, Hunter Clan also arrived one after another.

  “Is Grieving Needle still on you?” When Mu Qi logged in, the first thing he did was to stare at Happy’s chest. When he saw that splotch of wet redness on his chest, he could not help but frown.

  The others also looked worried.

  Only Happy sighed in relief.

  When he logged in, Tendon Changing Classic began to circulate on its own, making it clear that the effects from Grieving Needle were still around. This meant that as long as he did not remove this item, Tendon Changing Classic will just continue leveling up on its own. Even though as its levels and realm increased, it will begin to level up slower, the truth was that this was still a treasure that could continuously stimulate Tendon Changing Classic to level up faster.

  There was one phrase that was the epitome for Happy’s current situation—Being happy despite suffering.

  *****

  When Happy entered the game, he did not know that someone looked in through the window of his hospital room. That person put on a complicated expression before he turned around and left.

  There were two men with level-headed presences standing at the entrance of the hospital. They were frowning, and their gazes burned just like the ignited cigarettes they held between their fingers.

  “How is he?”

  Once they saw the man in black walk out, those two cast a wary glance at the young nurse who gave them guarded expressions not too far away from them. They went up to the man in black and asked, “How is he right now?’

  If Happy were here, he will definitely be dumbfounded.

  The Three Lonely Wolves, Bai Lang, Qi Ci, and Chen Fan, who were once his dormmates, and appeared in the hospital where Happy recuperated. The only thing different about them was that the presence they gave off was different from the other Three Lonely Wolves, who were still university students.

  The Three Lonely Wolves on the other side might have great power and were already rich people, but they were still students, and they still had not gone through various hardships in society yet.

  These three people had familiar features, but all of them had a level-headed look on them belonging to those who had gone through various ups and downs in life. The tone they employed when they spoke was also very different.

  The person who headed into the hospital was Chen Fan. Once he cast a glance at the young nurse who warned him not to bring cigarettes inside, he smiled at her and arrived in front of his two friends.

  “I spoke with his attending physician just now. Happy’s currently pretty good. He’s recovering very well, and in less than two months, he’ll be able to walk on the ground normally.”

  Bai Lang looked as if a huge burden was released from his mind. “Then I can rest assured.”

  Qi Ci also exhaled long and hard. The frown between his eyebrows vanished.

  “It has been one and a half years. I didn’t expect that he’ll be able to wake up on his own. It’s not an easy feat…… That woman is not a simple woman either.”

  When they heard Qi Ci mention Xu Yao, Chen Fan and Bai Lang nodded in silence.

  Even though they never searched for Happy over the past one and a half years, they paid attention to all information regarding Xu Yao and Happy’s situation.

  Naturally, they knew about the decision Xu Yao made in the past, along with all the effort she put in.

  That was why they had simultaneously chosen to contact a number of ex-university mates who were rather close to them at that time and attack Class One Hall viciously for a few months regardless of whether it was night or day.

  At that time, many of the students in the University of South China did not have great qi realms, and they could not compare to the high-end players, but all youngsters were very ambitious.

  Regardless of whether they were the students from the same batch as Happy or were students who were still studying, all of them knew very clearly that there was a training maniac from their university known as Mad Shaolin Disciple. He challenged players from everywhere, and he was just like an ancient swordsman in terms of his mannerisms.

  Even though they did not communicate much with each other, many of the students and alumni felt proud of Happy’s successes.

  After all, Happy came from the University of South China.

  Even though Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed and its members dispersed, thousands of them gathered together, and filled with righteous indignation, they launched a mission with only the goal of destruction in mind and no organization or plan whatsoever to back them up, and they dealt an immeasurably huge blow on Class One Hall.

  Their mission succeeded especially well because they worked with people who had long since found Class One Hall’s actions an eyesore.

  At that time, Five Venoms was nearly destroyed.

  This mission lasted for a few months, and regardless of whether it was Class One Hall’s elites or normal disciples, Class One Hall lost tens of thousands of people. At that time, the famous and strongest sect had its development progress forcibly delayed for a few months, and they were even forced to give up on a few branches from more than ten cities, causing Wind Assault Tower, who was originally at the same level as Class One Hall, to have the chance to surpass them and become the strongest sect in the Chinese server.

  Dream Clouds might be furious, but when she launched her counterattacks, she found that there was an incredibly jumbled force formed by various sects and players attacking them.

  She had enemies who really wanted to do her harm, and she also had enemies who were just attacking her for the fun of it, causing Class One Hall to absolutely be unable to seize the crucial element allowing them to control the war.

  In the end, due to public opinions in the real world and pressure from the game denouncing them, they had to submit to fate and expel Class One Hall’s Vice Hall Master Blood Robes to end the war that caused Class One Hall great suffering.

  And the ones who caused all this were the Three Lonely Wolves.

  They were normal players who could not be considered as top-class players in the game.

  But the three of them had become executive directors for South China Martial Arts Ranking Board as well as mid-level managers for World of Martial Arts.

  The reason behind why all posts regarding Happy had quickly become popular over the past few days was because of them.

  This was because practically everyone from the University of South China and the former members of Beautiful Robes Faction learned of this, or else, news about Happy would not have become the most eye-catching news over the past few days so soon.

  “I originally thought that the matter will end just like that, but by the looks of it now, Happy seems to have come to a realization after he woke up.”

  “Yeah, this time, Happy has repeatedly destroyed Blood Alliance and Class One Hall’s imposing reputation. Blood Robes and Dream Clouds will definitely not watch by the sides and let Happy grow to the point that he can threaten them. They will definitely take action over the next few days.”

  Bai Lang and Chen Fan’s analysis caused Qi Ci to be unable to help himself but lick his dry lips. A burning light shone in his eyes, and it reflected his ambition.

  “By the looks of it, you already have your plans. Why don’t you tell me?”

  “If we want to fight against major forces like Blood Alliance and Class One Hall, we’ll definitely fail if we don’t have a large force backing us. Also, it won’t be worth it if we start building our forces in the open. If we build our sect, it can be destroyed at any moment. It’ll be possible if we build it in secret.”

  “Young White is right. We’ll need prestige and strength to build a sect, and we also need sufficient connections and money. Happy already has prestige and strength. He just needs to protect it now. We have connections. The former members of Beautiful Robes Faction are already incredibly restless, and they can be summoned at any moment. The problem is that when Happy builds his sect, he will definitely face suppression from two top-class sects. Without a sturdy core of strength, the sect will just crumble.”

  “Why don’t we start drawing people to our side and make preparations?”

  “Prepare what, exactly? Let’s talk while we walk. That nurse might have taken a fancy on us. That’s the problem of being so handsome, seriously. Let’s go.”
