As for Happy, the attack from Evil King that pushed him back by 328 feet was still burning in him, and it caused him great discomfort.
However, when he got up, he only remembered the burning feeling when he was pushed across the ground. There was not a single injury on his body, and his true origin aura had just been weakened a little.
Evil King could only be considered to have just become One with the World, and his strength had just increased by ten percent. He could not compare to Mad Monk just yet, and even when he attacked at full power, it was only stronger by six thousand to seven thousand points compared to before.
Even though he posed as a greater threat now, when Happy used true origin aura, he managed to weaken twenty percent of Evil King's attack. He had also used Dragon Coil to increase his defense. Since his defense increased and Evil King's attack decreased, Evil King did not actually manage to gain much of an advantage over Happy.
The only difference from how he would usually react to this sort of situation was that since he lost Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, he lost quite a lot of Affinity points, which was why he was shoved so far away by Evil King.
When he thought things through, Happy was no longer as wary when he faced Evil King, who had just become One with the World.
Also, at the moment he used Dragon Coil, he keenly noticed something about Dragon Coil.
Unfortunately, Dragon Coil appeared and disappeared very quickly. It had only lasted for a second, and he could not quite understand it.
It was also because of this reason that Evil King misunderstood that Happy had ignored and humiliated him.
Happy had managed to calm down and was no longer wary of Evil King. With Tendon Changing Classic serving as his shield, he was not afraid of Evil King harming him within a short amount of time, and it was only then that he remembered himself using Dragon Swings Its Tail once against Evil King. During that time, he gained his epiphany about the attack.
So, he used it again.
The effect was pretty good.
Just as he expected, Dragon Swings Its Tail absorbed the enemy's attack and instantly converted it into practical damage for Dragon Swings Its Tail, which was how he managed to give Evil King the surprise.
But even though he managed to deliver the surprise, Happy still tried to remember the epiphany he gained when he used Dragon Coil. He felt that the feeling he gained during that instant might be able to help him discover the true profound secret within the fourth style of Ten True Dragon Styles.
'Just what is it?'
While he stared at Evil King, Happy continued thinking quickly and tried to remember what happened just now.
But the more anxiously he tried to remember something, the more impossible it was for him to remember.
Happy was so anxious that he scowled, and anyone could practically see smoke rising up his head. But he just could not immediately remember that important thing, even when Evil King attacked him again.
He scowled even further.
Happy gnashed his teeth and thought, 'Since I can't remember it, I'll use it again. I refuse to believe…'
Boom!
This time, Happy only activated Dragon Coil, true origin aura, and Indestructible Body when he faced Evil King's attack. Just as he expected, he was flung viciously away by a power that he could not fight back against. He only stopped when he was pushed dozens of feet into a scattered pile of stones.
The series of unexpected events already caused Wan Wan to be unable to say anything.
When she saw that Happy had turned from strong to weak again, she already did not know what to say about it.
Evil King stared at the pile of stones that buried Happy with a strange and complicated expression. His gaze was grave.
Rumble!
The sound of stones rolling off rose, and Happy stood up once more from the stones completely safe. His body was covered in dust, and he looked very pathetic.
Even though he looked pathetic, no one heard Happy mumbling to himself when he stood up. "So it can be used like this…?"
Chapter 1095 - Evil King’s Acknowledgement
As Happy stood up once again in the mountainside, he sank into an indescribable silence once more.
Evil King's gaze on Happy had become much more solemn and puzzled. He also looked wary.
Wan Wan's gaze was even stranger.
At that moment, she was finally able to tell that while Evil King's attack was so suffocating that it was difficult to breath, it did not create much of a threat to Happy. Happy did not even seem to have the intention to use his sword to parry the attack. He just withstood that palm strike and was completely fine.
Wan Wan said nothing, but she felt incredibly disheartened.
Her achievements among the younger generation were already pretty good. Even Shi Feixuan, the successor of Kind Boathouse, had just reached the middle stage of Myth Realm.
But a normal secular disciple from Shaolin Temple had actually managed to fight to a standstill against the strongest of the evil cult while he was just at Moksha Realm.
This sense of dejectedness and distance between them caused her to find it difficult for her to find a balance in her emotions.
But when she saw Happy's indifferent and calm presence and demeanor, for some reason, Wan Wan quickly calmed down and regained her composure.
Even when he faced Evil King, he could still remain humble, patient, and was neither superlicious nor obsequious. Perhaps this was the reason behind why he could quickly rise to fame in the world of martial artists. If a normal person ran into Evil King and was caught in this kind of situation, they might have already been so terrified that they lost their wits or would be so excited that they even forgot their own names.
As Wan Wan thought about this, Happy and Evil King exchanged blows once more.
This time, Evil King suffered another setback.
Wan Wan widened her eyes and watched Evil King's astonishing blow land on an empty spot. Then, he was kicked far away, and he was nearly unable to hold back the surprised shout in his mouth.
It was another quiet kick, and the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
...No, this time, it was even faster!
At the moment Evil King was kicked, Happy seized the air, and he curled his fingers to form the shape of a claw.
Dragon Capture!
Wan Wan immediately recognized that this was one of Happy's trump cards. It had an amazing ability to control objects, and if Evil King was drawn back, he might be hit again, and he would be in an even more dire situation.
But no matter what, Evil King was already One with the World. When Happy executed Dragon Capture, he did not manage to draw Evil King back, even though he was an easy target at that time. It was as if he had just seized air, and he returned empty handed.
Happy was stunned, but he did not appear too astonished and surprised.
One of them was in Moksha Realm, and the other was One with the World.
No matter what, they were three qi realms apart.
Happy just found the situation a little regrettable.
If Dragon Capture could reduce Evil King's speed even in the slightest, he would have been able to deliver the full effects of Full Winds in Long Skies within the shortest amount of time on Evil King.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to chain his attacks, and he could not deliver greater damage on Evil King.
But this time, he still made Evil King become even more wary of him, and the next time they exchanged blows, he was even more cautious and wary. He had even fully activated his body fortification.
Thud! Thud!
The sound of Happy and Evil King fighting rose and fell in the mountainside.
The two seemed to have descended into a strange war of attrition.
Evil King was in charge of attacking, but every time he attacked, Happy would either perform the fiercest and most extreme counterattacks to send him flying, or he would not even be bothered to parry and would just be sent
flying like an unkillable c.o.c.kroach.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They seemed to have an endless amount of strength. Even after they had been fighting for a long time, one was filled with true origin, and the other still had his qi surround the entire field. As he breathed, he used the spiritual energy in the world to recover his strength.
With one whoosh, Evil King moved dozens of feet away, and he widened the distance between himself and Happy while he stared into Happy's eyes. He said, "Let's stop. We've been fighting for a long time, and you should be able to tell by now that no matter how long we fight, nothing will come out of it."
When he said this, he stopped for a while before he cast a glance at Wan Wan, and he continued, "Once I've become One with the World, I can control the flow of the primordial qi in the world around me. The recovery speed for my qi cultivation technique has become much faster as I breathe, and no matter how much you try, it's impossible for you to be a threat to me. But I have to admit, the recovery speed and defense for Tendon Changing Classic is also incredibly strong. Besides, every time you force me back, the time I take to recover gives you a chance for you to recover your strength. Before I am completely familiar with the strength of someone who has become One with the World, I cannot break your defense."
Wan Wan instantly fell silent.
Evil King's words meant that he was treating Happy at the same level as he was!
One of them was a young hero at Moksha Realm, and the other was the strongest person in the evil cult who had become One with the World!
When he heard Evil King's words, Happy felt incredibly gloomy, but he did not say anything.
In truth, he did not expect that things would turn out this way.
He originally thought that with his strength, even if he fought for a day and night, it would still be enough for him to get a stone plate from Evil King.
Dragon Swings Its Tail could threaten Evil King, but he could not use it continuously.
He might have been able to discover some of the amazing uses in Dragon Coil, but it was not useful against an enemy whose qi realm was too high. It was just as ineffective as Dragon Capture.
Evil King was right.
Even if they continued fighting, it was meaningless. They would not be able to determine the victor between them within a short amount of time.

Happy stared into Evil King's eyes, and after keeping quiet for some time, he said those words coldly before he turned around, intending to leave Yin Weed Faction's nest.
He moved his feet a little, and Evil King suddenly said, "I'll say the same thing. As long as you're willing to, you can bring the head of a grandmaster from a righteous sect over. At that time, I will give you a stone plate."
Happy said nothing, but he stopped moving for a while. Then, he turned his head around to cast Evil King a glance. "There's no need for that. We don't belong on the same path."
"That's not necessarily true."
He looked at the direction Happy left, and Evil King chuckled softly. "Young man, don't be so certain of your words. Just remember this. I've already said what I said, and I will keep to my word. You can change your mind at any time you want."
Happy said nothing. When Happy left the mountainside, he received the system notification in time.
"Ding!
"Your strength has been acknowledged by Evil King!
"Evil King admires your strength and personality! If you kill any grandmaster of a righteous sect and bring the head to Evil King, you will get one of the ancient divine monk's stone plates, and it will have an ultimate technique recorded on it."
Happy was shocked.
He did not accept the quest, but the system had actually automatically made him take the quest? Could this be a quest that was specifically targeted for him?
Once he arrived at a spot that was not too far away from the mountainside, Happy quickly summoned the quest log to read through the details.
Just as he expected, he saw some remarks of the quest at the end.
There was no time limit for the quest, and there was only one description for it—You are a person personally acknowledged by Evil King, a powerful martial artist who is the first among all Myth Realm martial artists currently in the game to become One with the World.
Just as he expected, this was a quest that was targeted specifically at him.
Even though Happy did not know why such a strange and unique quest appeared for him and why there was no time limit for it, he had become much more at ease at it because of it.
Since Evil King had personally agreed that he would reserve a stone plate for him, the other players might not have the chance to trigger this plot-related quest. It was also impossible for them to get any quests related to the stone plate.
Even if Happy did not accept or carry out this quest, it was impossible for anyone to take his place and get this quest.
Coincidentally, Happy was currently the most worried about Evil King triggering and getting this stone plate. By the looks of it now, he could be at ease.
*****
After he left Yin Weed Faction's nest, Happy found that he was unable to calm down even after a long time had passed.
This time, his plan to come to Yin Weed Faction's nest in search of the stone plate had completely failed. But that was not all. He had even stimulated Evil King so much that he became One with the World. It might be a long time before he could win against him.
As his plan failed and he did not get the stone plate, Happy's goal of quickly searching for a chance to kill Evil Emperor again after he showed up to completely crush Wild Wolves' plan to control the Chinese server was destroyed.
'Thank goodness Full Winds in Long Skies has reached the third realm after I kept using it repeatedly over the past few days. Compared to the time before Evil Emperor was locked up, I've gained an understanding of the profound secret in Dragon Swings Its Tail and Dragon Coil, and my strength has increased by quite a lot. I have one last day, and it's impossible for me to push my qi up to 1,280 points.'
As of current, Happy's qi points were at 1,229.
While Happy ran to Lovely Land's headquarters, he tried hard to think of a way for him to be able to have his strength increase effectively in just one day.
'Body fortifications and lightness skills will only show results after I train them for a long time.
'Even if I go to Ghost's Domain and continue to use Demonic Venomous Larvae to train his lightness skill, it was still very difficult for him to be able to effectively push himself to Inaction Realm within a short amount of time.
The only thing he had not trained right now was a long-distance martial art in Moksha Realm, such as a Moksha Realm hidden weapon technique or a bow technique. Those were incredibly important for him to cover up the flaws in his strength.
Unfortunately, he still had the same old problem—time!
When he thought about how Evil Emperor was about to be released from prison soon and also remembered how Wandering Know-it-all clearly reminded him that his Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art had improved, Happy could not help but worry about Lovely Land.
Even though Lovely Land was developing quite well now and the members in Lovely Land increased to nearly five hundred thousand people ever since the revenge fund was in operation, which led to Class One Hall falling silent, if Wild Wolves and Class One Hall worked together to counter them, Lovely Land would still be in a very dangerous situation.
'I'll have to think of a way.'
While Happy ran, he racked his brains to think of a way to break through this wall.
Suddenly, Happy could not help but remember the words Evil King said, along with the only quest he had been forced to accept.
"No."
When he thought of this, Happy quickly got rid of the th
ought that had just appeared in his head.
Even though he was very certain that he could already kill quite a number of grandmasters from righteous sects and easily obtain the stone plate, when he thought of the situation he had to face after that, he could not help but feel troubled.
If he killed the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the highest-graded bounty quest might be added to the series of clan quests issued by Shaolin Temple, and they would not stop hunting him until he died.
After some time, Happy thought of the quest once more in his head.
'Perhaps I can choose to go to those sects where I will never run into even if I die…'
Half an hour passed by.
At Wandering Know-it-all's mansion, Wind Chimes pretended to massage her master's shoulders to peek at the letter in his hands.
"Master, did Big Brother Happy send you a letter? What did he say in there?"
Even since Happy led a group of people to bring her out of the ruins of Wind Assault Tower and even built the astonishing Lovely Land within a short moment, there was never a day where she did not wish that Lovely Land would charge into Beijing so that she could end these grievous days of living in a total lack of justice.
Wandering Know-it-all did not notice Wind Chimes' expression, he frowned and held the letter in his hands while he mumbled, "So, he's preparing to do a plot-related quest…? But even I can't figure out the location of Heaven Crystal Sword…"
Chapter 1096 - Master of Heavenly Sword
"As expected, he can't do a reading on it, huh?"
When he received the reply from Wandering Know-it-all, Happy did not find it strange. After all, this was an item that could be directly beneficial to a player, and it was impossible for a diviner to poke his or her nose in it. He immediately tore the letter in his hand and sighed a little before he lowered his head while he was deep in thought. He wrote another letter and sent it to Wandering Know-it-all.
[It's fine even if you can't locate Heaven Crystal Sword. Help me locate these three NPCs, please.] At the end of the letter was the name of one sect master along with the names of the clan leaders of two aristocratic clans.
