Chapter 1053  : Marrow Cleansing Classic, First Realm

As the scenes showed to him during the cycle of reincarnation slowed down to the sight of him being heavily injured and crippled, Happy saw Flame Wolf dragging him out of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. By then, Happy had already snapped himself out from sighing in regret. His gaze turned bone-chillingly cold, but as the torture began, his expressions also gradually became excited.

This was Happy’s greatest secret.

At that moment, regardless of whether it was Wind Assault Tower, Class One Hall, Evil Emperor, or Flame Wolf, who personally tortured him by breaking his meridian system and crushed his bones, would definitely not be able to imagine that during that time, he had actually thought about doing a forced log off and even biting his tongue to commit suicide.

But Happy knew that if he left the game, he would only leave behind a trauma that would haunt him for his entire life, and he would also be humiliated.

After all, avoiding a fight was the greatest humiliation that a martial artist could not bear.

As for biting his tongue and killing himself...

Happy absolutely did not want to do that. Besides, since he had already mastered Tendon Changing Classic, with what bit of strength he had left, it would not be enough for him to bite through his tongue. Even if he managed to bite through his tongue successfully, he might not die. As of current, his Affinity had already become so strong that he was practically a monster.

Having his life force getting so strong to the point that it was difficult for it to be snuffed out was a good thing most of the time, but in this sort of situation, it was incredibly troublesome.

Hence, at that time, Happy had practically thought of everything in an attempt to anger Flame Wolf so that he would manipulate his attacks and kill Happy.

However, a surprise happened at that moment.

When Flame Wolf crushed his fifth bone, great pain charged into his nervous system nonstop. Happy’s entire body was drenched in sweat, and he was clinging to the last of his breath. He was almost unable to hang on...

But at that moment, the system gave him a notification that made his mind clear.

“Increase Willpower by 1.”

After he was beaten to a pulp by Evil Emperor and tortured to the point that he wanted to die by Flame Wolf, Happy’s powerful Willpower increased once more.

Two points of Willpower!

The first point he gained was from Empress Yin, and now, he accumulated another point. It caught Happy by surprise, and soon, he was delighted.

In truth, from the moment he withstood Evil Emperor’s mental pressure, Happy already knew just how amazing was Willpower!

Willpower seemed to be an epiphany that could only be obtained in an incredibly horrible situation while a person was caught between life and death.

And those who had gone through the feeling of being caught between life and death could usually regard life indifferently. Those with great Willpower would not be easily shaken when they faced a mental pressure from external forces.

This was the use of Willpower.

But the things that caught Happy by surprise and delighted him had not ended just yet.

While Happy continued enduring torture and longed for his third Willpower point to appear, it appeared, just as he expected.

At that moment, more than twenty of his bones had been crushed, and he could not move. His entire body was filled with pain, but it was also incredibly itchy. It was as if there were ten thousand ants crawling all over his body, and it was unbearable.

“Increased Willpower by 1!

“Willpower: 3.

“Tendon Marrow Classic rose to the first realm!”

The continuous stream of system notifications caused Happy to suddenly feel as if he obtained new life. His limbs seemed to be going through some sort of strange change.

Even though his bones could not recover by itself without medicine, when Happy heard the final system notification, he was stunned, and then, his chest was filled with unprecedented glee.

Marrow Changing Classic had finally reached a breakthrough!

Happy had gone through two life and death encounters and gained epiphanies from it. He even went through several difficult journeys of such caliber, and he would remember them forever. Now, his Marrow Changing Classic, which had never leveled up, finally went from Level 1.00 to Level 9.99!

When he endured the torture, Happy was finally able to see how amazing was Marrow Changing Classic.

Even though it had only increased to the first realm, he was still able to activate the attributes for Marrow Changing Classic, and the information he obtained was enough to make Happy incredibly surprised and excited.

[Marrow Changing Classic: Lvl 9.99

[Peerless classic from Shaolin Temple.

[Cleanse your marrows and have your body replaced. Destroy the old and form the new.

[First realm: You will sense a great change within your body. Each of your meridian systems will be transformed. All impurities have been completely cleared. You can see farther, your spiritual senses are even sharper, your body is lighter, your bones are sturdier, and you have entered the state where you will always appear to have never practiced any martial arts. You can practice all martial arts smoothly, and the amount of qi you use will be eighty percent of your previous amount. All this makes you think that you have been reborn.]

It was a very strange attribute description.

But all of it caused Happy to want to immediately be reborn and check the specific changes in his body and see what sort of power Marrow Changing Classic brought to him.

However, since his body had been strengthened even further, even if Happy wanted to kill himself, it was already something he could only dream of having.

*****

Bang!

Happy felt a very powerful feeling of himself falling from the sky.

When he stepped on the ground, Happy’s consciousness finally returned from hell into his own body. He quickly noticed that his surroundings was very cramped, and there were a lot of voices mixed together.

He said nothing.

It was as if the people around him were at a market. Even though the space in Guanlin Temple was huge, since there was a continuous stream of people coming in, Happy still felt as if he was in a market.

There were people from Class One Hall, Wind Assault Tower, and a lot more from the Beijing sects. They were endlessly spawning in Guanlin Temple, and their faces were pale. When they came back, they were still very hot-tempered, and they faced each other, ready to fight. Hostility was thick in the air. From this alone, it was clear just how intense was the fight in the headquarters.

However, Happy was not interested in the atmosphere around him. He currently only wanted to know just how much his strength had grown.

He lowered his head and checked his body.

‘Thank goodness I didn’t drop any equipment.’

Happy sighed in relief. He brought out an Illusion Life and Death Pill Wandering Know-it-all previously sent to him from his Universe Bag. Under multiple people’s surprised gazes, he tossed it into his mouth.

“Ding!

“Took one Illusion Life and Death Pill. Recovered from the injured status.”

Once the system notification finished announcing this news, Happy quickly sensed that the weak feeling in his body was quickly disappearing.

While he walked out of Guanlin Temple, Happy raised his arm.

Just now, while he was outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, since all his bones were crushed, he did not have the strength to move it, and he could not sense the changes brought to him by Marrow Changing Classic, but now, the sensation was very clear.

If Tendon Changing Classic had given him clear hearing and sight, strengthened his Affinity and Arm Strength, and given him his true origin aura when he mastered it, then now, at the moment he came out of Guanlin Temple, Happy could clearly sense that his spiritual sense had increased by half, and all the people’s breathing within a circular area of 328 feet was clearly reflected in his mind.

At the same time, he had the feeling that all his actions contained great strength.

He did not use any qi or skills. He did not even activate his qi realm. Even so, each of his actions made him feel as if he could produce an incredibly mighty fist-generated wind, and he had a great sense of urgency to stretch his limbs and fight.

This feeling caused Happy to be incredibly excited and giddy.

“Oh well.”

When Happy surveyed the area, many people managed to recognize him. They looked in his direction.

There were too many people in Guanlin Temple. It was clear that this was not the best place for him to test his strength.

“Happy!”

Just when Happy was wondering about whether he should go to Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters to face Evil Emperor and test his newly gained strength, a familiar voice suddenly rose behind him.

As this voice rose, the disorderly voices around him became much softer.

Happy turned around and saw Phantasmal Shadow coming with a group of Wind Assault Tower elites through the path that was created once the crowd parted for them.

“You’re here as well?”

“Yeah.”

Phantasmal Shadow was incredibly guilty and apologetic to Happy. The group behind her had all sorts of emotions when their gazes landed on Happy. There was respect, admiration, and also excitement.

All of them had personally witnessed how Happy had been tortured by Flame Wolf by countless people.

They originally thought that Happy would be dejected, but when they saw Happy’s actions just now, it would appear that Happy had a heroic spirit burning in him, and he was about to immediately head forward to fight once more.

“I’m sorry. This time, I have been careless, and you suffered because of it.” Phantasmal Shadow’s tone was incredibly sincere. She did not guess why Happy did not choose to commit suicide or log off to avoid the pain, just like everyone else did. To her, if Happy had not supported them with his great strength, Wind Assault Tower would have fallen before Evil Emperor even dropped by.

Happy sighed in a sentimental tone. “I’m the one who should apologize. I didn’t manage to escape from the ambush Evil Emperor set. If I had been a little more careful, I might have been able to last until you arrived.”

“If you say that, I’ll just blame myself even more.” Phantasmal Shadow stared at the sky in anguish before she smiled broadly. “This time, all of us made mistakes and allowed Dream Clouds to be a few steps ahead of us. She has a complete advantage over us, but we still have a chance, don’t you think so?”

“Of course.” Happy smiled and nodded.

Under the sunlight, two people who walked out of Guanlin Temple, which was the place that symbolized defeat, showed a great confidence that would make others’ hearts tremble.

The people around them were dazed.

After remaining silent for a few seconds, a cheer that shook the skies exploded from within Guanlin Temple.

“That’s right!”

“We still have a chance!”

“Tower master, lead us! We’ll slaughter our way back!”

“That’s right!”

“We’ll stake everything against those bastards from Class One Hall and Evil Emperor!”

Meanwhile, even if there were top-class elites from Class One Hall around Guanlin Temple, those from Class One Hall all looked as if they had lost their voices. When they faced the confident smile from two top-class players in the Chinese server, they felt ashamed of themselves. But that was to be expected. After all, Class One Hall was currently regarded as a shameless entity by all the Chinese players right now.

Guanlin Temple had always been a symbol of sorrow and dejectedness, but at that moment, because of two people’s words, it was full of life, and the people were filled with fighting spirit!

Phantasmal Shadow released a large breath of relief, and without batting an eyelid, she sent a private message. “Thanks.”

She had spoken in just a flashy manner with Happy just now because she wanted to increase all her tower members’ morale in Guanlin Temple so that they could regain their confidence.

By what she can observe now, not only was Happy powerful, his head also moved quickly, and he had almost immediately understood what she wanted and reacted to the situation.

Happy naturally understood why Phantasmal Shadow sent him a private message to thank him. He smiled faintly and sent her an enigmatic private message as a reply, “You and I both know that even if we go back now, we can’t change the fate of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters being destroyed completely. If that’s the case, why don’t we stab Class One Hall in the heart and make them pay for what they did to us?”

“You want to attack Class One Hall’s headquarters?” Phantasmal Shadow’s dejected gaze swiftly turned bright. “We can consider that. Dream Clouds will need at least half an hour before she can completely destroy Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, but One Emperor will only need ten more minutes before he unites with us in Beijing. But we only have a few people here...”
