The miners in the second level of the crystal mine were already used to Happy's actions, and they could vaguely guess that he was training his Golden Bell Cocoon.
The only thing they could not understand was why Happy gave up on parrying and counterattacking attacks that could reduce damage. At that moment, very few people would pay attention to the amount of EXP a high-tier body fortification technique could gain when it faced attacks from NPCs of different qi realms, much less the normal miners.
Only Red Coral and Black Rose seemed to have gained a hint of understanding as Happy faced the attacks again and again. The more they watched, the more attentive they became.
It was especially so during the later stages.
The golden bell around Happy's body seemed to show signs of becoming more corporeal. Its outline became clearer, and its light was also concentrated without fading away. It was no longer golden, and it gave off a graceful and noble air!
"HAH!"
As Happy shouted in high spirits, a layer of golden flowing light suddenly appeared outside Golden Bell Cocoon!
Buzz!
It was as if a bell chime had come from an ancient temple that was one thousand years old. The sound was mellow, peaceful, graceful, and noble, but it also gave off a feeling that it was sacred and inviolable.
Stone King was clearly not deceived by appearances. It was a stone commander without intelligence. It only had the will to completely destroy the enemy in front of it. "Hiss!" The yellow fist-generated wind crashed against Golden Bell Cocoon at a speed that a normal person could not withstand.
Buzz!
The bell chime rose again.
This time …
Red Coral, Black Rose, Thunderous Battle, and the others held their breaths. They stared at Happy in disbelief as he withstood Stone King's punch head-on.
He did not move.
Happy actually did not take a single step back under Stone King's attack.
Most of Stone King's attack seemed to have been negated by Golden Bell Cocoon, and a rebound had even slightly hindered Stone King's next attack. It did not manage to launch a continuous and fierce offense like before.
"…"
Unbelievable!
A Mystical Realm elite did not take a single step back when he faced a Moksha Realm NPC's attack, and his Golden Bell Cocoon also became slightly dimmer.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Stone King changed his strategy resolutely. The fist-generated wind could injure others, and he threw three consecutive punches at Golden Bell Cocoon.
Three faint depressions appeared on the smooth golden bell, but soon, the fist-generated wind that contained great destructive power reached the golden bell.
It gave off a mysterious feeling, as if the damage on the surface of the bell was evenly distributed by the golden bell.
The Golden Bell Shield dimmed again.
He still stood as steady as a mountain in front of Stone King, but his lips curled up into a beautiful arc. He lowered his head and cast a glance at the Silver Aquatic Dragon Armor on his body, and his gaze was filled with excitement!
The 700 defense points of the Silver Flood Dragon Equipment Set were indeed extraordinary. Not only did it help him withstand a portion of the critical damage, but the additional defense from the equipment set also allowed him to further stabilize his footing. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stand steadily until now.
Now …
Golden Bell Shield!
He had finally reached the Great Perfection stage …
Golden Bell Cocoon of Grandmaster Realm:
Defense increases by 1200 points, absorbs 20% of internal energy damage, reduces 20% of effective attacks, maintains posture! Can use the Profound Meaning of Loyalty.
Under Stone King's barrage of attacks, Happy sensed a powerful wave of heat changing his body, Arm Strength, and Affinity.
Mastering the Golden Bell Shield to the highest level was no less than changing tendons and cleansing one's marrows.
When one's physical body was strengthened to the extreme, one's Aptitude and Arm Strength would naturally increase by a lot.
"Ding!"
The system notification came late.
"Congratulations, your Golden Bell Canopy has reached the Master realm!"
"Obtained an additional 2 points of Comprehension, an additional 10 points of Bone Aptitude, and an additional 10 points of Arm Strength!"
"Obtained an additional 10 points of qi!"
The higher a person's Affinity was, the more outstanding their defense would be. The higher their Arm Strength was, the more powerful their attacks would be. Attributes were also very important.
At the moment Happy received the notification, he could not help but laugh loudly.
"Perfect timing!"
The attacks that he had been holding back for half an hour finally landed on Stone King's body in the wildest manner possible.
Seven Stars Sword Styles!
His Golden Bell Cocoon was already at max level, and it was also his fourth high-tier martial art that was at max level (Phantasm had already reached max level while he was running away)! Now, it was Seven Stars Sword Styles' turn.
Golden Bell Cocoon's defense instantly increased by 200 points. With Golden Bell Cocoon at max level and the protection of Silver Flood Dragon Set, Happy now had the ability to fight against Stone King head on. With the weakening effect of Seven Stars Sword Styles on Stone King's offense, Stone King had already lost its ability to suppress Happy.
Yes.
Boom! Boom!
The miners in the second level of the crystal mine turned their heads around to watch the battle in the hall in disbelief.
Once upon a time, they had wondered when someone would have the strength to face the Stone King head-on, kill the Boss guarding the second floor of the crystal mine, and see if it would drop the best crystal ores …
But they had never expected this day to come so soon!!!
"Everyone!"
Happy's clear voice suddenly rose, and it traveled clearly into everyone's ears.
The group felt their hearts lift, and they perked up their ears.
"The alliance of the five sects has just come to an agreement, but there are still many people who have their own opinions about us. That's why I hope that everyone can keep this a secret. I don't want the outside world to know what happened here today."
He stopped talking for a moment before he said,
"If anyone leaks this out or releases a battle replay, I reserve the right to pursue the matter." His words were mainly meant for the miners from the other sects.
'I knew it!'
The people from the three sects spoke up to show that they would definitely keep everything they saw a secret.
After all, the second level of the crystal mine was only so big. If the battle replay was posted on the website, everyone would be able to tell whose field of vision it was based on the angle, and it would be very easy to track it down.
Happy did not say much. He thanked them and entered a state where he could not be bothered with anything else. He focused on fighting against Stone King.
Stone King also roared nonstop.
The fist-generated wind and sword light intersected with each other!
Both sides exchanged blows.
The shock on Red Coral and Black Rose's faces was replaced by crazed delight as they watched the fight.
From the moment Happy officially fought against Stone King, she knew that before long, she would be able to obtain Stone King's heart.
There were four special items that could only be obtained from a Moksha Realm boss, and she had a high chance of getting two of them. In the race for speed, she could be ahead of the others.
When she noticed the delighted gaze Black Rose cast on her, Red Coral's heart surged.
"Perhaps we can tell him the truth and ask him to help us get the other two quest items as well."
"Girl, that's not a normal quest!"
Black Rose frowned and reminded her softly.
As she watched the silver figure fight fiercely against Stone King, Red Coral's eyes shone with a complicated gaze. "With his current achievements, the quest that we value so much isn't that important to him. Oh well, we'll see when the time comes."
Thunderous Battle stared at the two women for a long time before he averted his gaze.
