Ding!
At the moment a man with long arms and thick shoulders landed on the other side of the stage, a clear system notification rose in Happy's ears.
"Defeated two aristocratic family disciples, completed the 'Raise Your Eyebrows and Exhale' mission, Comprehension increased by 3 points."
"You successfully challenged Bei Lie. Battle Assessment: Class S. You displayed your skills on Dragon Tiger Arena and gained an epiphany. Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm has increased by three levels. It is now at Level 96.78."
The unexpected system notification made him incredibly excited. Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm had increased by three levels at this moment. Not only did it mean that he was getting closer to Grandmaster Realm, the attributes of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm had also increased. It was faster, and its damage was greater.
However …
Logically speaking, a successful challenge against Bei Lie should not have raised his level by so much.
Happy noticed a notification from the system.
"I comprehended something in the Dragon Tiger Arena."
Could it be …
If he fought against various martial artists on Dragon Tiger Arena, his martial art level would increase by a large margin after he won?
Just as he began to think absent-mindedly, an incredibly dangerous presence suddenly came charging at him fiercely from across him. "Brat, did the people from your Murong Clan not remind you that when you fight against us, Long Armed Apes, you should be more careful?"
Bang!
When he registered what had happened, Long Armed Ape had already closed in on him like an intelligent ape. It swung its arm, and Happy instinctively activated Petite Dragon, but he was still struck in the chest. His Golden Bell Cocoon trembled violently, and he staggered three steps backwards. It was clear just how strong Long Armed Ape's attack was.
Damn, distractions at a time like this.
He scowled and did not dare to be negligent. He quickly composed himself and retreated, but in the end, he was still struck by a fist-generated wind that came right after him. His chest felt stifled, and his Golden Bell Cocoon shuddered violently. It was about to shatter.
It was only at that moment that Happy finally noticed that Long Armed Ape Shen Tong's arms seemed to be slightly longer than a normal person's, and they were even more agile, which was why he did not manage to dodge.
When he saw that the man was going to use the same trick again, he scowled. Dragon Capture!
A grab and a hook.
The man's offense was instantly dissolved, and his body stiffened. A hint of panic appeared in his eyes unavoidably.
Roar!
His blood boiled, and a huge golden dragon appeared swiftly to send Shen Tong flying. He seized the time to circulate Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill to restore his qi and Golden Bell Cocoon.
Shen Tong had not been injured by the attack just then. His feet dragged out two deep trenches on the ground, and he came to a violent halt. There was a hint of blood at the corners of his mouth, and a ruthless look appeared on his face. "As expected of a Murong Clan disciple. You even managed to steal Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm."
"So much nonsense!"
He was a little displeased that Shen Tong had managed to land two consecutive attacks on him. Right then, when he heard Shen Tong mention stealing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, he was instantly enraged. He twisted his body and shot forward. His fists moved like the wind, and a large, raging dragon swiftly formed on his palm. It opened its mouth wide before it left his body and charged at Shen Tong in a lively manner.
Sensing that the momentum of this attack was stronger than before, Shen Tong's expression changed, and he hurriedly shut his mouth. He wanted to dodge, but the agility of the giant dragon was far beyond his imagination. He couldn't dodge at all. He could only curl up his body, raise his arms, and take the second attack head-on …
"Go down!"
Happy roared. His qi surged, and an even wilder and more mighty dragon appeared behind him. At the moment Shen Tong was heavily injured, it sent him flying into the air. With a swing of its tail, it violently dragged him out of the arena and sent him down.
"Ding!"
The system notification instantly rose.
"You successfully challenged Dragon Tiger Arena three times in a row. You gained three points!
"You won against Long Armed Ape Shen Tong. Increased Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm by two levels. You are now at Level 98.80!
"You can choose to go down and rest or continue with the second round of challenges!
"If you choose to go down and rest, you can challenge any opponent on the stage at any time and continue accumulating points.
"If you choose to continue with the second round of challenges, the difficulty will increase, and you will have to face opponents from famous martial artists."
When Happy heard the first half of the notification, he felt incredibly pleased. 'As I expected, if I successfully challenge someone, my level and experience will increase, and it seems like the further I go, the more experience I get!'
But unfortunately …
As the number of times he challenged Happy increased, his subsequent opponents might become even stronger.
His first opponent was Dongfang Xiong. While he was pretty good, he was too prideful, and he had weaknesses that could be exploited. His second opponent was Bei Lie, and Happy fought at full strength right from the start.
His third opponent, Shen Tong, was a little unlucky. The strengthening effect of his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm had not disappeared, and he took the initiative to challenge him. It meant that he had to face an opponent who was at the same level as him, and he was hit three times in a row. He had no way of fighting back.
The fourth opponent …
He did not know who it would be.
Happy chose to go down and rest.
Even though he had the urge to push his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm to Grandmaster Realm, he did not know whether his next opponent would be someone like Guo Jing.
With a safe mindset, Happy chose to go down and rest. He waited for a suitable opponent and a suitable chance to get on the stage!
…
"Well done!"
The Murong Clan Lady got up to welcome Happy back in a very gratified manner.
At that moment, the elites from the eight aristocratic families cast very complicated gazes on the duo, especially Dongfang Xiong, Bei Lie, Nangong Ruoshui, and the other young disciples.
Dongfang Xiong had previously felt incredibly indignant. He believed that he had made a mistake and accidentally allowed Happy to seize his weakness.
But Bei Lie's defeat told him clearly that Happy had not used his full strength against him. He felt incredibly dejected, and he stood in the crowd with a hand over his wound. His face was red with rage, and he did not say a single word.
Bei Lie had been defeated fair and square, so naturally, he had nothing to say. Besides, even Long Armed Ape, who was quite famous in the game, had lost even faster than him. There was nothing for him to be embarrassed about.
Only Nangong Ruoshui was very lucky.
When they saw that Happy had returned and continued to stand quietly behind the Murong Clan Lady's shed, the mouths of the disciples from the eight aristocratic families who had been mocking him previously looked as if they had been sewn shut. They were incredibly gloomy.
Just when a new opponent appeared on the stage, Happy saw Guo Jing walk over with a majestic gait.
Happy became wary and thought to himself.
'I knew it, what should come has come. Great Swordsman Guo can't hold back anymore!'
Even though Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm was obtained from Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, it was still Guo Jing and Huang Rong's masterpiece. He could not explain it clearly. He sighed in his heart and thought that he could only take one step at a time and listen to what Guo Jing had to say.
"Young Swordsman Happy, may I have a word with you?"
"Of course."
Happy gave the Murong Clan Lady a look that told him not to worry before he followed Guo Jing to a secluded spot.
"Young Swordsman Happy, this is the first time we've met, so we shouldn't be so formal, but since you have Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, then everything is logical." Guo Jing stopped talking for a moment, then said in a grave tone, "You are a disciple of the Murong Clan, and the Murong Clan has collected a lot of martial arts from various sects. That's why I don't care where you obtained Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm from or whether you came to understand it on your own, but you must know that Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is the ultimate technique of Beggar's Sect, and only the sect masters of each generation can practice it."
"…"
Happy said nothing. "Great Swordsman Guo, what orders do you have? Please tell me."
Guo Jing stared at Happy deeply before he nodded and voiced his thoughts.
"You are not allowed to teach Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm to others. Also, you can only say that you obtained it through understanding Nine Yang Divine Skill. If you are unable to make the world of martial artists acknowledge you as the successor of Nine Yang Divine Skill within half a year, I will personally take action to take it back."
"Also! You owe Beggar's Sect a favor! "
In the end, Guo Jing said something that caused Happy's heart to tremble. "If there comes a day when Beggar's Sect is in trouble, I hope that you will help us!" Guo Jing seemed to be implying something.
Once he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Happy's answer.
