Happy had the appearance of a handsome young man to begin with, and he attracted a lot of attention. Right then, with the Noble Sword in hand, he gained a scholarly air and the air of a martial arts swordsman. He quickly left the Murong Clan's gate. The group of male players who had not officially joined the Murong Clan sighed in envy, jealousy, and hate. The female players' eyes sparkled with a peach-shaped light. They followed Happy from the start until the end, causing their companions who were ignored to feel even more gloomy.
After he left the Murong Clan, Happy placed the Hundred-battle Saber he had obtained from the tomb robber in the bank. Even though the Hundred-battle Saber the tomb robber brought with him was not a masterpiece, it was still quite sharp and durable. It was only one step away from becoming a masterpiece. In the future, when he practiced his saber techniques, he could use it so that he would not need to buy another weapon.
As for the jade he obtained from the unlucky Third, Happy brought it to the shop and sold it. He obtained 1,100 taels of silver crumbs, one hundred and twenty taels of gold crumbs, and five hundred taels of silver crumbs from before. Right then, he could be considered as a rich man.
When he passed by the clothing shop, Happy stopped and lowered his head to look at the gray robes he wore. He remembered what the Murong Clan Lady had said.
The Murong Clan was a famous clan, and it would not be good for him to ruin their dignity.
'Yes, I have to spend this money.'
He turned around and entered the clothing shop. When he came out, his gray robes had been changed into a simple light blue warrior's robe. There was a blue hero's bandana tied around his head, and he no longer had the elegant air of a pretty boy. Instead, he gained the heroic bearing and manly presence of a martial artist.
The clothes were not expensive, but they were the clothes Happy often wore while he was lurking in the shadows. At that time, he had even attracted quite a number of women's hearts and caused them to be in a frenzy. Of course, that was aside from the weapon in his hands.
When he walked out of the shop, his attire immediately caused a commotion among the players on the streets.
The Noble Sword, the blue warrior's robe, and the hero's bandana made the pretty boy look much different. He seemed to be even more passionate than before. Almost half of Gusu City's gazes were on Happy. In fact, some of the bolder female players even cast flirtatious glances at him.
When they sensed the abnormal atmosphere on the street, two pairs of eyes peeked out from a window on the second floor of A Restaurant. They quickly gathered on the blue figure who had caused a commotion at the center of the street.
"He's really young."
"Hmph, very showy too."
The two people who spoke to each other were two young men. They appeared to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but compared to most of the players on the street, they were much more mature and level-headed. This was a unique characteristic of World of Martial Arts. Once a player entered the game for a month, their body size and appearance would gradually catch up to their real appearance, no matter how old they were.
The two of them stared at the light blue figure on the street with particularly disdainful and unfriendly gazes!
"You haven't even broken through the novice stage and you're already so arrogant. Looks like you're from a rich family."
"You mean, teach him a lesson?"
The man on the other side raised his eyebrows and quietly placed his weapon on the side of the table. He stared at his comrade and revealed a faint smile.
"You know me best."
The two of them laughed heartily. They hit it off and quickly went downstairs.
…
He had just entered the third realm of Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword Art, and while he was still lacking when it came to fighting against Li San, who only had half of his strength left, with his experience, he should be able to fight against him, and he believed that he would be able to improve his skills very soon.
However …
What Happy did not expect was that he would be stopped by someone on the way.
Two players who seemed to be slightly taller than him and were also dressed in warrior robes with swords and sabers immediately stopped. Solemn expressions appeared in their eyes.
"I don't think I know you two."
After playing in World of Martial Arts for three years, Happy had long since come to understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. Many people might not be as skilled as NPCs, but their hearts were far more dangerous than those of evil NPCs like Li San and Tomb Robber Old Third.
"That brat's sword … is pretty good."
"Looks like he has some good stuff on him. How about this? If the sword drops, it'll belong to you, and if anything else drops, it'll belong to me!" The two people across from him whispered to each other, completely ignoring Happy.
"…"
When he heard that, Happy lowered his head and cast a glance at the Noble Sword in his hands, and he laughed coldly in his heart.
'I haven't even warmed up my sword, and I already ran into robbers!
'Hmph.'
These two brats seemed to have been playing in World of Martial Arts for a period of time. Their weapons were pretty good, and their aura and mental state were much more level-headed than normal newbies. When they did bad things, their faces did not turn red, and their hearts did not race. They should have caused quite a lot of trouble to other newbies. '
When he understood that they had become greedy, Happy did not intend to waste his breath with them. He drew his Noble Sword, and the cold blade pointed diagonally at the ground.
"Bring it on."
Since they had decided to rob him, he did not mind sparring with them.
The two people across from him looked at each other. They finally saw that there was something different about the young swordsman from the fighting spirit and calmness in his eyes. At the same time, they put away their previous scorn. He was completely different from the people they had met in the past. He was too calm and collected.
However!
The boy was just too inexperienced, and they were veterans who had been playing in World of Martial Arts for a month. They would not think too highly of Happy. The young man with the saber fell silent for a moment before he looked at the swordsman.
"You first! I'll hold the fort. "
"Alright."
That person took a few steps forward with his sword and stared at Happy. His tone gradually turned cold.
"Remember my name. I am Wu Hou!"
"Enough with the nonsense."
"Hmph! Let's see how long you can remain stubborn. "
The swordsman was immediately angered by Happy's nonchalant tone. He shouted in anger and executed a very refined Immortal Guides the Way. Cold light shone, and he moved with his sword.
Happy's eyebrows twitched, and surprise appeared on his face!
It was no wonder then why the swordsman was at ease with letting this person fight against him alone. He did indeed have some skill.
This was Complete Reality Sword Technique from Complete Reality Sect. Based on speed and strength …
Eighth realm!
Even though he was shocked, he did not hesitate in the slightest. He used Penglai Welcomes the Guest to divert Wu Hou's attack. The two swords clashed against each other, and the difference between the levels of their sword techniques was instantly revealed.
As his qi realm increased, Wu Hou clearly gained the upper hand in terms of speed and damage. When he sensed the sluggishness of Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword Technique, he attacked continuously without hesitation. He was incredibly fierce, and his fighting style completely suppressed Wu Hou's.
"Haha! How dare you be so arrogant with such insignificant skills?!"
Every single time they fought, Wu Hou could clearly sense that his opponent's strength and speed were not on the same level as his own. He seemed to have just learned the basics, and he seemed immature and inexperienced.
But there was something strange about him.
Even if Wu Hou's qi realm was very low and his sword technique was clumsy, his footwork was very methodical. It was as if he could predict Wu Hou's next move with each step and block Wu Hou's attacks with the smallest price to pay. Even though it was very strenuous for him, he did manage to block all of Wu Hou's attacks.
Wu Hou might have been lucky the previous few times, but if it happened every single time, then there was a problem!
After they fought for a while, the expression of the swordsman watching by the side slowly turned stern and solemn. He could already tell that Wu Hou seemed to understand Complete Reality Sword Technique very well. His footwork was steady, and his sword technique also improved with each exchange of blows.
In other words, Wu Hou seemed to be using Wu Hou to practice Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword Technique.
