  Hence the saying, "A misfortune might actually be a blessing in disguise."

  However, while dying once could give others a positive impression of himself, dying repeatedly in Evil Emperor's hands was not a wise decision.

  Of course, Happy had been staying around and letting Flame Wolf torture him because of an even more important reason.

  After remaining silent for a while, Evil Emperor suddenly turned his head around and scrutinized Happy's face before he said, "Did you know? Ever since I came to the Chinese server, there has been something that puzzled me to no end."

  Happy kept quiet.

  "I can understand if you died and came back here, fled and left Beijing, or met up with One Emperor to fight once more, but your act of staying here to be tortured by Flame Wolf and wasting your time made me curious. I truly want to know. How long will it take for you to be willing to go through the cycle of reincarnation and return to Guanlin Temple? What are you trying to accomplish by staying here?"

  "Do you really want to know?" Happy opened his eyes.

  Evil Emperor stared into Happy's eyes quietly.

  "It's simple, kill me, and you'll immediately know the reason."

  "Do you really refuse to commit suicide?" Evil Emperor frowned. "Your ego as an elite is really problematic."

  Happy did not continue speaking to Evil Emperor.

  "Alright, I'll do as you wish. After all, Wind Assault Tower's ending has been set in stone. Even if you work together with One Emperor, you won't be able to do anything." While Evil Emperor spoke, he spread his fingers, and a small tornado was instantly formed.

  Happy trembled.

  His meridian systems had been completely broken a long time ago because of Flame Wolf's torture, and he was struggling at the last of his breath. He no longer had any physical defense, and now, when he suffered an attack from the strongest player in the world, he breathed his last.

  Evil Emperor did not look at Happy's corpse. Instead, he looked in the direction where Guanlin Temple was, and his gaze was distant. "I'll be waiting for your answer."

  A few seconds later, Evil Emperor noticed that Flame Wolf's expression was a little strange.

  "What is it?"

  He turned his head around and cast him a glance. He saw that not only was Flame Wolf's expression a little abnormal, his gaze was also sparkling. No one knew what he was thinking about.

  When he heard Evil Emperor's question, Flame Wolf instinctively shook his head. "It's nothing."

  Evil Emperor frowned a little, but he did not probe further into the issue.

  Naturally, he did not know that during this period of time, Flame Wolf had been trying to search for the slightest hint of fear on Happy's face, but he never gained what he wanted.

  When Evil Emperor attacked, Flame Wolf did not miss the change in Happy's expression. Flame Wolf noticed that not only did Happy show no fear, In fact, he did not even show any hint of relaxation, as if he had been released from suffering. Instead, he showed an excited smile, one that made Flame Wolf's heart be filled with fear.

  He smiled!

  That was right.

  When Happy entered the cycle of reincarnation, he did not have the comforted or happy expression people typically had when they were released from danger and suffering. Instead, he had an excited smile that he could not suppress.

  Flame Wolf could not understand the meaning behind Happy's smile, but his instincts told him that when Happy reappeared before him…

  When he thought of this, for some unknown reason, he no longer had the courage to face Happy. He was filled with fear.

  Happy entered the cycle of reincarnation.

  At the moment he died, Happy went through the cycle as he did in the past. All that he did over the day was presented to him in black and white images.

  He saw himself reaching the third realm for Full Winds in Long Skies in the prison after a period of difficult training. Then, he received a request for help from Phantasmal Shadow and Wandering Know-it-all, and he got out of the prison cell.

  The scene soon changed to the battle erupting. He saw himself face the pincer attack from the three top-class elites from Class One Hall, and during that time, he delivered a swift attack.

  He killed Xie Lingyun, and Luo Jing as well as Shi Huasheng died after that.

  He had rushed into the midst of the Class One Hall elites alone.

  When he witnessed all this from an onlooker's point of view, Happy saw himself swing Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and he could not help but have a hint of a smile appear on his lips. Then, he mumbled under his breath.

  "Phantasmal Shadow… Wandering Know-it-all… My performance today for Wind Assault Tower has already lived up to all that you asked of me. Unfortunately, this time, Dream Clouds is indeed more skilful."

  Happy sighed in his heart in great regret.

  As the person with the greatest power in Mu Clan in the other world, ever since Happy created Mu Clan, he had cultivated this normal faction of power tottering in its footsteps to the point that it could overpower Class One Hall and Towering Palace. Right now, it was the strongest power in the Chinese server. Luck played a factor in it, but there were all sorts of schemes involved as well.

  Right from the start, he had been very careful with every step he took, and he was also very meticulous with every move he made.

  But this time, Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wandering Know-it-all each made a mistake.

  Wandering Know-it-all made a mistake in estimating the time One Emperor would take entering Beijing.

  One Emperor did not manage to return to Beijing ahead of time to fight in the war. He was held back by certain things that would not affect the overall situation, and hence, he was delayed.

  Phantasmal Shadow was the person in charge of Wind Assault Tower, but she did not manage to get help from the last four Beijing sects in time, and she did not personally come back to Wind Assault Tower to command her army.

  If one wrong move could lead to a losing game, then three mistakes was enough to lead to the destruction of Wind Assault Tower's headquarters!

  The scene changed before it slowed down and was fixed on the scene where Happy was instantly injured severely and crippled by Evil Emperor and the three top-class players.

  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 practicall
y 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!

  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 c.h.e.s.t 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.

  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.

  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.

  "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 thin
k 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!"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/marrow-cleansing-classic-first-realm_49328892690889228 for visiting.

  "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?"
