  True origin aura was actually an aura formed based on pure true origin using the thick qi in his body after he mastered Tendon Changing Classic and cleared his eight extra meridians.

  However, since Tendon Changing Classic could widen the breadth of his meridian system, the true origin he released was several times the amount of a normal person, which was why it could create an aura of such a scale.

  The greatest effect of this sort of true origin aura was to exclude all foreign objects.

  True origin had an astonishing rejection force toward foreign objects and all other things that did not fuse with it. Once any sort of external force tried to mix in, it would immediately look as if it fell into a pot of boiling oil, and it would evaporate.

  One part of the force in the Myth Realm martial artist’s attack was instantly weakened.

  Twenty percent of his damage was reduced.

  This was something that was incredibly terrifying to a martial artist at the beginning stage of Myth Realm.

  His damage was around thirty thousand, and in just the span of one breath, six thousand to seven thousand points was reduced. His attack was now not that much stronger than a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm.

  Happy might not be wearing any equipment or had any demon vessels on him, his Tendon Changing Classic already had nearly four thousand defense. With Indestructible Body, his remaining damage already had a hard time to truly threaten Happy.

  In that sort of situation, Happy’s defense had already become so domineering that it was horrifying.

  Forget about a martial artist at the beginning stage of Myth Realm. Even a martial artist at the middle stage of Myth Realm would have to spend a lot of energy to break Happy’s defense, despite the fact that he was not wearing any armor.

  ‘It’s no wonder why Mad Monk could still be on a rampage and kill so many people before he broke out of the circlement formed by countless top-class martial artists. The true origin aura from Tendon Changing Classic alone can already reduce twenty percent damage. Once he masters Tendon Changing Classic, it will also provide another reduction of ten percent damage. Even without Marrow Changing Classic, this is already very terrifying. If I attempt to clear Ten Thousand Poison Matrix with my current self, even Proud over All Life’s Six Golden-winged Mother of Gu Poison Creatures will have a hard time threatening me.’

  Happy felt incredibly happy.

  However, when he remembered that Evil Emperor had defeated One Emperor after one hundred moves. Happy could not help but frown.

  ‘Still not enough!’

  Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art was the evil cult’s ultimate technique, and it would definitely not lose to Tendon Changing Classic. In fact, it could even be stronger. If he only relied on Tendon Changing Classic, he might not actually be able to fight against Evil Emperor.

  Also, there was another fatal weakness to this.

  The three palm strikes from the Myth Realm martial artist had caused Happy’s qi to fall by more than sixty points.

  This indirectly meant that while the recovery speed for Tendon Changing Classic was high, once he started using his true origin aura, the speed in which he used his qi would be terrifying. The more attacks he faced, the higher the amount of qi he had to spend. This would be especially the case for group fights. If his qi realm was not high and his qi not great, it would be very easy for him to drain his qi and turn into a sitting duck.

  Evil Emperor’s attacks might already not lose to a normal Myth Realm martial artist.

  And the strength of the countless elites in Class One Hall is also not limited to what was currently presented.

  Hence, it was not enough for his current self to rely on this method to gain a steady footing in the game. At the very least, he would not be able to last at the top for long.

  When he thought of this, Happy could not help but had the smile on his lips fade away, and he brought out the other martial art manual he had already prepared beforehand from his Universe Bag—Marrow Cleansing Classic.

  He rubbed the martial art manual in his hands, and Happy lamented, “Sorry, Mad Monk.”

  Originally, Happy needed to wait for three years after he mastered Tendon Changing Classic before he could go to Mad Monk to have this martial art manual and start practicing it.

  But due to the exquisite Go game, Happy had obtained the chance to get this supreme Shaolin Temple martial art beforehand. Right now, he had already mastered his Tendon Changing Classic, and he had already obtained the rights to practice it. Hence, Happy chose to start practicing it without hesitation.

  Whoosh!

  \r \r \r

  Tendon Changing Classic turned into a gold light that seeped into Happy’s body.

  Happy froze.

  “Ding!

  “Successfully learned Marrow Cleansing Classic. Increase Comprehension by 10.

  “Change your tendons and cleanse your marrows to accomplish your dao!”

  The series of system notifications caused Happy to be even more certain that Marrow Cleansing Classic was not a simple martial art.

  Happy observed the detailed description for Marrow Cleansing Classic.

  [Marrow Cleansing Classic: Lvl 1.00.

  [Once you have changed your tendons, you can cleanse your marrows.

  [You will not be able to successfully cleanse your marrows if you are an ordinary person.]

  ‘There’s no detailed description for it?’

  Happy was truly stunned, and what caused him to become even gloomier was the fact that once he learned Marrow Cleansing Classic, he was actually unable to activate it on his own.

  “What’s going on?”

  It was like the martial art had vanished without a trace. He could not summon it, and he could not see a single hint or figure out how profound it exactly was based on the description for the martial art

  ‘Come on…… Are you seriously going to toy with me like that?’

  Happy felt a little dejected.

  This time, he went into isolated training because he wanted to train Marrow Cleansing Classic and refine his body to the point that it was the same as Mad Monk’s and so that he could gain a shocking body, but by the looks of it, it seemed like practicing this martial art would be a little troublesome.

  ‘Since I can practice it, it’s impossible for me to be unable to use it. Since I can’t use it actively, then is it a passive skill……?’ Happy thought about it for a moment before he ordered the Myth Realm criminal across him to attack him at full force, and he even told him not to stop or hold back.

  Since Tendon Changing Classic could be activated by powerful attacks, perhaps Marrow Cleansing Classic had the same effect.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Endless sounds of wind being pushed aside and the sound of it crashing solidly into a physical body rose once more in the prison.

  This time, Happy removed the true origin aura and used his body to withstand the Myth Realm martial artist’s attack.

  Even though the damage was not high in the damage, and he was only sent reeling back, as the internal injuries he accumulated increased, he finally coughed up blood.

  Happy gritted his teeth and never told the criminal to stop, because the accursed Marrow Cleansing Classic was still at Level 1.00, and it never moved even in the slightest. Not a single anomaly had appeared for it.

  For a few minutes, Happy was treated like a punching bag, and he was beaten up black and blue by that Myth Realm criminal. He gasped for a breath, and only a bit of his HP was left, but Marrow Cleansing Classic did not level up in the slightest.

  Happy finally told the Myth Realm criminal to stop.

  ‘I can’t continue like this! Did something go wrong? Or could it be that I can’t train Marrow Cleansing Classic like this?

  ‘Think. There should be some other way……’

  Happy’s mind raced.

  No matter what, this was Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. As long as Happy wanted to, he could get a lot of information that other people could not easily get.

  However, Happy did not want to reveal all this before Evil Emperor arrived at the Chinese server.

  As of current, even when he trained, he wore a human skin mask, and the goal was to prevent the Prophet Carlson from obtaining his current progress.

  Happy did not want to reveal any of his progress without his knowledge or be followed by someone when he left Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters during random moments.

  Besides, there were still thirteen days left before Evil Emperor came to the Chinese server.

  Those days would go back, and he did not have extra time to waste.

  ‘Looks like I’ll have to search for another method.’

  Happy thought about it, and suddenly, he smiled in a mysterious manner.

  He could move to the other world!

  He went into a trance for around a dozen seconds, and Happy moved from the sect prison in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters to the sect prison in Mu Clan, which was in the other world.

  Clang!

  When he opened his eyes, aside from a violent gust of wind that came at his face, he also heard an unexpected sound.

  “Ah!” An alarmed shout rose, and a familiar figure turned around to flee. Her voice and back were incredibly familiar……

  “Xin!” Happy called out to her, and the figure who was in such alarm that she was about to run away seemed to have been frozen. She instantly stopped.

  Happy told the martial artists—all at the peak of Inaction Realm and who had been attacking him nonstop while surrounding him—to stop attacking him. He pushed away the group of people, walked out of the prison, and arrived behind Xu Xin.

  “How long have you been here?”

  Xu Xin said nothing, but her body shuddered slightly. She looked like a child who had been caught stealing some food from the pantry. Her voice was soft when she answered, “N-not long.”

  “Have you been accompanying me in prison over the past month?”

  “No! Of course not……” When she arrived at the back of her sentence, Xu Xin lowered her head. They could hear the faint sounds of tiny pellets slicing through the air.

  Time seemed to have been frozen at this second.

  Both Happy and Xu Xin just stood there facing the same direction. Neither could see the other’s face, and the indescribable atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds.

  “I-I have something to do. I’ll be leaving first,” Xu Xin spoke with a quiver in her voice, and she made to leave.

  But against her expectations, right when she moved her feet, her shoulders were grabbed by a pair of hot arms. A thick and familiar breathing approached her from the back.

  Xu Xin widened her eyes in shock, but she was held tightly in Happy’s embrace.

  Happy could sense Xu Xin freezing up in his arms.

  He looked up and sucked in a deep breath.

  “Silly girl…… you don’t have to keep waiting beside me…… You know that I can’t make any promises to you right now, because I don’t know when he will wake up again.” Happy could not help but tighten his grip around the girl in his arms. He could hear the light sobs coming from her, and he wanted badly to hug her even tighter.

  Happy mumbled into Xu Xin’s ears, “Xin, did you know that all my friends in this world can have a good time in the game, and I’m not worried about them in the slightest? The only one I cannot let go is you, did you know that?”

  Xu Xin said nothing, but she finally relaxed from her frozen state. Her body gradually grew pliant, and in the end, tears fell from her eyes, even though she made no sound as she wept. Her tears fell on Happy’s hands, and the heat from them seemed to seep into his heart.

  “A long time ago, I had a dream. When I become the strongest in the Chinese plains, I will definitely give you the most romantic wedding so that the world can witness you becoming my wife and the happiest woman on earth…… but I didn’t manage to do it. Right now, I no longer have the right to do that, and neither do I have the chance to.”

  She said nothing. Xu Xin trembled lightly. As she began to sob quietly, she curled up in Happy’s arms and cried powerlessly.

  Happy held Xu Xin just like that.

  No one knew how much time had passed, but Xu Xin slowly turned around and wiped away her tears on her face while she stared at Happy resolutely. She then said clearly with tears brimming in her eyes, “Happy, I will remember what you said today. You owe me a wedding. It’s not one between Chen Kaixin and Xu Xin, but a wedding between Happy and Xu Xin.”

  Happy was stunned. Then, he noticed something from Xu Xin’s determined but watery eyes as well as her words. He stared into Xu Xin’s eyes for a long time before he nodded firmly. He held Xu Xin’s slightly cold hands and brought them in front of her. Then, with the same determined voice, he said, “Our wedding will be held half a month later.”
