  'Hey, you can't do this, man. If you don't want me to leave, just speak up. You're not a woman, you know? You won't speak, and you refuse to send me away. Just what the heck is wrong with you? I don't recall ever being as fussy as you are.'

  He mocked Chen Kaixin a few times, and Happy finally noticed that the situation was not quite right.

  Since the moment he returned today, he never heard the other Chen Kaixin say anything.

  Chen Kaixin had also not moved for at least three hours in the game, and he did not do anything.

  Also, since both communicated through their minds, the principle of them needing to communicate with each other through talking should not exist. They will be able to sense what the other party was thinking of very clearly. This was just like how Happy can quickly read through what the other experienced during the first time he was dragged over at midnight.

  But today…

  It was only at that moment that Happy remembered that he never sensed the other Chen Kaixin's thoughts over the past few hours.

  It was as if he had suddenly vanished from existence.

  When he thought of this, Happy suddenly felt a chill grow from the bottom of his heart. He thought, 'Is Chen Kaixin being suppressed by my mind?

  'That shouldn't be the case. I'm only unable to let go of Xu Xin and my friends over here.

  'Could it be…?'

  "Doesn't make sense." Happy thought about this for a long time, and his expression slowly turned pale. "Chen Kaixin, oh Chen Kaixin, don't toy with me, please. If I don't go back, Xu Yao is going to be worried to death! Do you intend to let her take care of me in the ward forever?"

  When he thought of Xu Yao, Happy could not help but have the image of the ward appear in his mind.

  In the next second, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared!

  Chapter 946 - What’s Wrong With Chen Kaixin? Verify Ability to Move to and Fro

  'What's going on?' When Happy woke up in his room in the hospital, he sat up swiftly, and there was bafflement as well as disbelief on his face. He mumbled, "Did Chen Kaixin have a guilty conscience?"

  But soon, Happy felt that this was not the case.

  It seemed like…

  No, he just could not describe it.

  He wrecked his brain and thought about it for a long time while he sat on the hospital bed, and Happy suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been thinking about matters over here when he was brought back. Then, he was brought to the other world one hour earlier than their promised time.

  When he came back, he was very worried about the situation over here, and hence…

  'Could it be…?'

  His body tensed, and disbelief shone in Happy's eyes! He found himself looking forward to verify this, but he could not be sure whether it was real or not!

  However, Chen Kaixin did indeed behave very strangely today.

  Besides, Happy himself had gone over and returned incredibly abruptly.

  'No… I have to test it out.'

  Happy cast a glance at Xu Yao, who was in deep sleep on the bed beside his. He eagerly laid down, closed his eyes, and imagined the bedroom in the other world in his head.

  And just as he expected, after some time, that powerful suction force and the feeling of his consciousness being swathed in darkness descended on him again.

  He opened his eyes to look, and Happy's face was filled with befuddlement. He slowly got up from the floor with a solemn look on his face.

  Indeed, he was the one who gave the command to come to this place, and Chen Kaixin really did seem to be absent. He did not take over this body, which was why this body fell to the floor.

  "Hiss…" Happy then fell silent.

  He cannot be certain what exactly happened, but Chen Kaixin seemed to have sunken into deep slumber again.

  There was a faint hint of unease in Happy's heart.

  He did not know whether Chen Kaixin was sealed because of Chen Kaixin himself or whether it was because of Happy. Besides, this time, he did not know when Chen Kaixin will wake up again.

  Happy was bound to go through a sleepless night tonight.

  *****

  While his mind was in a daze, Happy controlled Chen Kaixin's body to quickly eat his breakfast before he went back to his room in the other world. Xu Yao accompanied him to the physiotherapy room and found Doctor Li.

  "Doctor Li, I have a question."

  "You seem quite lethargic today. Didn't you sleep well last night? If you have any questions, just go on ahead and ask me." Doctor Li cast Happy a glance and answered.

  "I just want to know what will happen to me if I fall into a coma again when I'm in the game." Once he finished speaking, Happy noticed Xu Yao freezing a little while she was next to him. Her expression changed a little.

  "That's an interesting question. Looks like you're worried that you'll return to a vegetative state because you're in the game for too long." Doctor Li smiled and turned her body around before she answered seriously, "But theoretically speaking, it's impossible for this sort of situation to happen."

  "I mean, if it happens, what will happen to the patient?"

  "Hmm… In truth, when a patient is in coma, it will be as if he or she is in deep sleep.

  "But VR games nowadays are very safe, and there's no cases where a person has fallen into a coma after he or she entered the game. But if an accident truly happened to cause this situation, no one will be able to notice it as well. The key word being 'if'. Because you're in a state of deep sleep, and others will only be able to notice it after a period of time, such as noticing the person gradually losing various body functions."

  "What happens to the person's character in the game?" Happy asked.

  Doctor Li seemed to be invested in the topic now. "I can answer that, because many players fall asleep during the game. Then, their character in the game will continue with their current state. Many of the current elites in sects use this train their qi cultivation techniques and body fortifications. This is no longer a secret in World of Martial Arts."

  "Oh." Happy's gaze shone, and he seemed to have released a breath of relief.

  "Are there any other question? If there is none, we will begin today's physiotherapy—"

  "I'll go through my physio later. Yao, help me back." Happy sounded as if he had something urgent to do.

  Even though Xu Yao was puzzled as to why Happy asked some strange questions today, she did not probe into it. She just quietly helped Happy back to his room.

  Xu Yao instantly found herself at a loss for words.

  But she did not know that Happy soon entered a state of deep sleep when he entered the game. This also meant that Happy had already gone to the other world.

  *****

  When he returned to the other side, Happy hesitated for a while before he picked up the VR Helmet on the bed and entered the game.

  *****

  He was still in the branch prison.

  He ordered someone to gather ten Inaction Realm prisoners who knew some fist techniques to gather in a cell, and Happy brought out a Moksha Realm body fortification manual—specifically, Indestructible Body—from the clan storage before he shut the door to the cell and sat down to train.

  He activated his qi realm as well as Indestructible Body.

  He removed all his equipment and stood at the center of the cell before he gave his command to the fierce-looking prisoners around him.

  "Attack!"

  The prisoners looked at each other and attacked, not daring to remain idle in the slightest.

  Powerful palm strikes landed on Happy's body.

  Happy remained still in the torrent of attacks and used his body fortification as well as Nine Yang Divine Skill to withstand the ten people's fierce attacks. At the same time, he kept close attention to his own condition.

  Under the rapid attacks, Tendon Changing Classic began to level up rapidly, and it also circulated very quickly. In fact, the speed was even faster than the time he was trapped in the treasur
e house.

  The increase in Indestructible Body's level was also very fast. After three rounds of attacks, the body fortification increased by two levels.

  But those three rounds of attacks from the ten Inaction Realm martial artists also caused Happy to suffer from internal injuries. A trickle of blood dripped down a corner of his mouth.

  "Continue!"

  Nine Yang Divine Skill can only protect his body automatically and restore the qi Indestructible Body used, but Tendon Changing Classic can heal him while it also widened his meridian system, and it was truly a profound skill.

  When he was injured, his injury was almost immediately healed, and hence, Happy's injuries did not exacerbate very quickly.

  Happy did not wear any equipment even when he faced the rampage of fists by ten Inaction Realm martial artists.

  Happy just withstood nearly eighty punches and kicks while he remained standing. His Nine Yang Divine Skill shone with a red light repeatedly to absorb damage for him, and his Tendon Changing Classic leveled up quickly.

  "Stop!" As Happy gave his order, the ten people stopped attacking together.

  Happy stood at his spot and waited for Tendon Changing Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill to automatically restore his body to its best condition. Then, he looked at the time before he gave his order again, "Attack again!"

  Sounds of rapid fist-generated wind and kick-generated wind rose in the cell again.

  After ten rounds of attacks, Happy stopped the group from attacking him once more while he was injured, and he sat down to wait for himself to recover quietly.

  But this time, it seemed like he was recovering a little faster.

  Happy thought in silence. 'Tendon Changing Classic at the third realm does indeed recover faster than the second realm, but if I want to get to the fourth realm, I'll need to endure more than ten rounds of attacks.

  'But it's already pretty good. If I don't wear any equipment, these Inaction Realm attacks are much more effective than the damage from wild silk. Ten rounds of attacks by these ten people are equivalent to one hundred powerful strikes. With one cycle, I can increase one level for Tendon Changing Classic. As for Indestructible Body… Hmm… It seems like I can level up Indestructible Body even faster and at a more stable pace. It has already reached the middle of the second realm, and my defense is getting stronger. The recovery abilities from Tendon Changing Classic are also getting clearer.'

  After enduring a few rounds of attacks, Happy's Indestructible Body entered the third realm, and it had somewhat caught up to Tendon Changing Classic's progress.

  At that moment, the high defense in Indestructible Body showed its effect, and Happy can already endure more than fifteen rounds of attacks. His recovery speed also shrank from five minutes to four minutes.

  "Attack me once every two hundred seconds, and deliver fifteen attacks on me each time." Happy gave some detailed instructions.

  The prisoners understood what he meant, and they attacked him.

  Each person resolutely stopped attacking once they delivered fifteen moves. Then, after waiting for two hundred seconds, they attacked again.

  When he saw this, Happy stood where he was quietly, closed his eyes, and imagined the room in the other world.

  A suction force descended.

  The scenery around him changed, and he appeared near the market in the city.

  "Cuckoo!" A white messenger pigeon landed on his shoulder and cuckooed. The people passing by beside him occasionally cast his strange glances, as if they cannot understand why the person who had been standing for some time at the center of the street would have a messenger pigeon perched on him.

  [Big Brother Happy, when are you coming? We've already sold all the items yesterday, and the money has been transferred to your account. We're already at the same spot at Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. When you're here, leave a message.]

  It was a message from Mu Qi.

  Happy was delighted. He quickly checked his money, and just as Mu Qi said, the total amount of money he had had already exceeded eighty million taels of silver. He can now get Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

  However, Happy was not in a hurry to get the weapon he cannot use for the time being. Right now, he was already in Moksha Realm, and if he obtained Great Demonic World Destruction Art, he can train even faster than before.

  He replied on the spot to tell Mu Qi that he will need half an hour before he arrived. Then, he sent a letter to the player who promised him that he will sell his sword technique to Happy for thirty million taels of silver.

  [Where are you now? I have money for the deal.]

  [So soon? But coincidentally, I'm still minding my stall at the market. I'm at the same place,] the other party replied quickly.

  Happy was delighted, because he was currently at the market.

  He walked down the trail he took yesterday and arrived in front of the cunning merchant from yesterday, but there were a few people who currently stood in front of his stall and blocked the way.

  "Hmm?"

  Happy can tell with just one glance that the few people in front of the stall had Class One Hall's emblem on their c.h.e.s.ts. All of them had extraordinary equipment as well. Happy could not help but frown a little.

  "Brat, I know that you're from Merchant Alliance, but I also know that you have a Great Demonic World Destruction Art with you. We won't let you suffer any loss, and I'll buy that manual from you for thirty-five million."

  The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a rather extraordinary presence. His gaze was sharp, and he appeared rather prideful and aloof.

  The stall owner looked troubled. "Someone has really reserved this manual, and he's already on his way here to get it."

  Even though Merchant Alliance was a pretty big alliance, it was clearly inferior when compared to Class One Hall, and Class One Hall was not as easy to fool as Five Venoms.

  The master of Recondite Steel Heavy Sword knew that the person who came this time was a branch master from Class One Hall. He did not say anything else but just watched by the side with a cool gaze.

  The middle-aged man snorted, "I know that he reserved the manual for thirty million, and now, I'm offering fifty million more to buy that manual. Sir, you wouldn't be showing me disrespect by refusing to sell the manual to me now, right?"

  Class One Hall was already threatening the stall owner by saying that.

  "Who said that the price in which I reserved the manual is thirty million? Brother, here's fifty million. Give me Great Demonic World Destruction Art."

  Happy walked out from behind the crowd.

  Chapter 947 - Fu Tianqiong

  To attack Class One Hall in the other world, Happy tried his best to keep a low profile and only struck at the last moment at lightning speed to chase them to West Region, which barely had any resources in it.

  But both sides knew each other's strength in this world! If Class One Hall actually had the guts to do something so despicable, Happy will naturally not let go of the chance to smack them in the face.

  Under Class One Hall's cold and displeased gaze, he completed the trade with his friend from Merchant Alliance!

  "Hmph." The leader of the group from Class One Hall over here was at the level of a branch master. He was a true Class One Hall elite. When he saw Happy complete the trade and obtained Great Demonic World Destruction Art. Even though he did not approve of the trade, he had indeed suffered humiliation, and he said darkly, "Sir, if you're willing to join Class One Hall, I will let you become my lackey, since I'm lacking one right now. You can get as many unique manuals like that one as you want."

  "Friend, if no accident occurs, I'll be able to get the gold for Recondite Steel Heavy Sword for you before nightfall. Please take good care of it for me." Happy ignored the arrogant and scornful Class One Hall members and turned to the neighboring stall to say to the stall owner.

  "Don't worry. Wind Assault Tower has always kept true to its word. I'll keep Recondite Steel Heavy Swo
rd for you. Our tower master has already mentioned that no matter how much Class One Hall offers, she will cover the extra cost. You won't need to spend even an extra piece of silver."

  "Thank you for the trouble."

  Happy chuckled, wrapped his fist in his palm to salute the stall owner, turned around, and left.

  The Class One Hall members' expressions turned even darker.

  Happy did not intend to acknowledge them. He regarded their mocking words and provocative words as empty air, and the feeling of being ignored caused their faces to burn under countless players' gazes. Anger raged in their hearts!

  "Happy, stay where you are!"

  "I'll be waiting outside the city. If you have a bone to pick with me, come outside." When he heard the rebukes from the people behind him, Happy said without even turning his head around.

  Quite a number of players in the market instantly burst into commotion!

  Even though they believed Happy to still be in Life and Death Realm after he returned to the game one and a half years later, he regarded Class One Hall's provocation without a shred of fear, and he seemed to even have the d.e.s.i.r.e to accept their challenge outside the city, and this instantly attracted countless players' attention and stirred up their curiosity greatly. They surrounded the area restlessly.

  They were truly a group who loved chaos!

  "...Bastard."

  "Branch Master Fu, what should we do now?"

  When he faced his members, he saw that their expressions had changed slightly, and they asked him for directions in whispers.

  Hall Master Hall had already ordered him to not allow his members to have any direct confrontation with Happy, especially in public places.

  But the situation before him was against his expectations.

  To them, Happy's feat of defeating those outer alliance members of Blood Alliance could not really ill.u.s.trate Happy's strength and the conflict between them.

  Those Blood Alliance members were in Moksha Realm, and they cannot be considered to be famous at all.

  Branch Master Fu laughed coldly, "Today, I'll teach you a lesson. As for the hall master, I believe she will not want us to disgrace Class One Hall's honor either.
