Chapter 500: Look At You In A Different Light

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the group parted ways at the foot of Mount Song, Happy returned to Punishment Mount without stopping!

His rewards for the rescue mission were pretty great. Not only had he managed to save Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes, but Zhou Zhiruo also owed him a favor. He also struck a blow to Cla.s.s One Hall’s ego—when they had declared themselves the king of the north—and also gained another layer of understanding toward Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm.

When Happy returned to Punishment Mount, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere there had become slightly strange.

From the moment he landed in Punishment Mount from Iron Chain Bridge, more than twenty pairs of eyes fixed on him. Every person slowed down their training discreetly, and with curiosity, admiration, and various complicated emotions stared at him.

“He’s here again.”

“Did you see? I think he’s Happy. It seems he’s practicing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm.”

“Whew, he immediately came here after he fought against Cla.s.s One Hall? This is to the north of Changjiang! He sure has guts.”

When a few players saw Happy enter Bodhidharma Cave, they began discussing him in low whispers.

“I wonder what quest makes him so attentive to it.”

“It should be something very amazing.”

“I’m not too sure what it is, but if it caught his eye, there’s no way it’s any regular quest. But Old Xu is someone from Cla.s.s One Hall. The news that Happy is in Punishment Mount should have reached Cla.s.s One Hall by now.”

“If I was in Cla.s.s One Hall and I learned that Happy was alone in Shaolin Temple, I would definitely attack. He’s by himself here, after all. All they need to do is surround the mountain, and he won’t be able to run.”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

Happy was silent.

Even though he entered Bodhidharma Cave, he directed his qi to his ears to listen to the conversations of the players outside. He could hear every word, and he instantly became on guard.

“You’re here again.”

Master of Breaking Vows sat cross-legged inside Bodhidharma Cave like a statue. The sounds of footsteps that suddenly rose in the cave allowed him to swiftly form the image of a familiar young man who was very stubborn. He sighed with a myriad of emotions in his heart and slowly opened his eyes.

After the battle in Beijing, Happy had gained a deeper understanding of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, and he was very confident. He walked into the cave with a majestic gait, and when he heard Master of Breaking Vows’ words, he laughed loudly.

“You’re right! Master, I came to ask for you to grant me your guidance again!”

A flash of surprise appeared briefly in Master of Breaking Vows’ eyes. It had only been a few days since they last met, but the young man who had extraordinary abilities seemed to have changed. His presence and aura had increased. Not only was he more confident than before, he also had a domineering air about him that allowed him to look down on others. It was something he did not have before.

Master of Breaking Vows was a unique eminent Shaolin Temple monk. He had not trained his temper enough, and when he sensed the powerful pressure that came from Happy, the fighting spirit in his body instantly lit up.

He laughed madly. “Alright! I’d like to see just what sort of skills you’ve come to understand!”

His voice was like thunder, and it shook all of Bodhidharma Cave.

Boom!

His wide monk robes instantly sent out waves of powerful air. His aura immediately rose to its peak, and Master of Breaking Vows flew toward Happy, who came over with a majestic gait.

Happy quickly noticed that Master of Breaking Vows had used his full strength, but he was not afraid. He was happy.

“Perfect timing!”

He said nothing else and just raised his hand.

“ROAR! ROAR!”

Two dragon-shaped vortices that seemed to have physical form roared loudly in Bodhidharma Cave. Happy threw his fists together, and he was as fast as lightning! His fists rammed against Master of Breaking Vows’ palms through the air with no flourish in their movements.

With Golden Gloves on his hands, Happy’s attack speed was increased by more than 50%.

Whoos.h.!.+

When he threw the two punches, his qi flowed madly in his body!

Happy’s momentum did not decrease. His third and fourth moves came even faster than before. They came with an even mightier momentum and rammed heavily against Master of Breaking Vows’ weakened palm attacks.

Master of Breaking Vows was completely suppressed immediately into the fight because he did not expect that Happy’s speed in hand-to-hand combat would be so vastly different from before. Happy was also used to his attacks, so Master of Breaking Vows could only watch as Happy’s palms violently destroyed his palm-generated wind. The remaining attacks crashed fiercely into his body fortification, and with a loud bang, his body, which was in the air, trembled violently!

“It has only been a few days since we met, and now, I have to regard you in a new light!”

While Master of Breaking Vows gasped in surprise, he was not content to sit around and accept his fate. He crossed his arms over his face to block the fifth and sixth attacks that came at him.

However, the secret behind Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm was that each move was stronger than the last. The body fortification around Master of Breaking Vows was vibrating intensely.

When Happy fought in Beijing, he had been forced to use his chain attacks during his fight against A’da and A’er to increase the speed at which he grew stronger so that he could reach the combat strength of those in Inaction Realm. Right then, with Golden Gloves increasing his attributes and his attack speed, it was only natural that Master of Breaking Vows would feel pressure.

When Happy delivered his eighth attack, Master of Breaking Vows was forced back while airborne.

Meanwhile, Happy retained his momentum. His fist-generated and palm-generated winds came nonstop. They made Master of Breaking Vows’ body fortification shudder repeatedly.

“Again!”

When Master of Breaking Vows received the ninth attack, he knew that thing could not continue as they were. He had a very deep understanding toward the profound secret behind Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, and he knew that the longer Happy attacked, the more he would be suppressed.

Master of Breaking Vows gritted his teeth and took the initiative to jump backward. He used the force from Happy’s attack to cover more than sixty feet, and his feet landed on the wall.

Crack!

A deep hole was instantly formed on the wall.

He sank down to one knee.

Whoos.h.!.+

His monk robes fluttered loudly, and a magnificent light forming the pattern of lotus and peonies [1] appeared behind him. It formed the image of Buddha with a calm expression.

A mighty pressure that Happy had never experienced before descended from the sky!

During that instant, the palm print of Master of Breaking Vows suddenly became much larger, and it seemed to be delivering some sort of psychological energy, because a powerful sense of helplessness rose in Happy’s heart.

But it lasted only for a fraction of a second.

Happy’s eyes quickly became clear. An indescribable strength and a refusal to admit defeat rose in him. It was as if something wanted to break out of his body, and without hesitating, he shouted, “Break it!”

He threw his fists forward.

Right before the Buddha palm was about to touch Happy, the two dragon-shaped vortices that surrounded Happy’s arms released a powerful blinding golden light. A dragon roar that shook the world and contained unparalleled might echoed in Bodhidharma Cave.

At the moment Master of Breaking Vows sensed that astonis.h.i.+ng, mighty pressure, it instantly destroyed the pattern of lotuses and peonies made by Buddhist light behind him. Immediately after, a huge golden head of a dragon came roaring at the Buddhist palm.

Boom!

Rumble!

Two astonis.h.i.+ng powers crashed violently into each other, and the players on Punishment Mount could clearly sense the lone mountain tremble. The monks who broke their vows and the players nearby were even knocked off Punishment Mount by an invisible force. The faces of the remaining ones instantly turned pale, and they left Punishment Mount.

However, they did see an incredibly dazzling golden light at the mouth of Bodhidharma Cave. It seemed like something peculiar was happening in the cave from which the frequent tremors and powerful impact came nonstop.

At that moment, no one dared to get close to Bodhidharma Cave.
