Chapter 233: Constellation Breathing Technique

Phantasm Body Movement Skill’s greatest characteristic was that it could allow its user to escape from a dangerous area with an odd angle at the fastest speed possible. All-powerful Medicine Stone had this lightness skill as well, and he had already reached perfection when using it.

In truth, when he met that Swordsman Thief again, Happy was already wondering whether he could adapt All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s skills with his lightness skill himself. Even if he failed in going up against Class One Hall, he would still be able to escape easily and not end up like in his previous life. Hence, he gave up on training his Mystical Realm lightness skill, Swimming Dragon, which he originally wanted to train, and went to the ancient tomb in search of Hoof Shadow.

He avoided most of the White Tigers’ attacks like a drifting wisp of smoke and moved through the gaps between them.

Boom!

Golden Bell Cocoon finally shattered!

He had done pretty well by enduring several rounds of the eight Mystical Realm White Tigers’ attacks and coming out of it unscathed, and he had even done so without any equipment.

Once he equipped Yellow Dragon Archer Gear, he should have no problem withstanding a few more rounds.

Once Happy got out of the encirclement, he remained relaxed and at ease. He did not pay attention to the fierce momentum of the White Tigers pouncing on him. Moving like a phantom, he easily avoided the attack of the White Tiger closest to him with one ingenious move.

When he activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill, the White Tigers’ fierce and swift movements seemed to become much slower, and with just one thought and the slightest movement, Happy could move a few feet away in a curve. He was so fast that he was like an illusion.

Also, as long as he chose a suitable direction to dodge, the White Tigers behind him would be blocked by the White Tigers in front of him, and they could not encircle him. Just like that, he easily ran the White Tigers in circles.

‘As expected of a top-tier lightness skill that is comparable to the ultimate lightness skill, Tiny Steps on Water. The first realm alone already far surpasses all other low-tier lightness skills at Grandmaster Realm,’ Happy thought while enjoying the profundity and agility of Phantasm Body Movement Skill.

“Alright, you can lure them away now.”

After playing around for some time, Happy lost interest in the White Tigers. He shifted a few times and left behind an afterimage at the place where he originally stood. Then, he arrived next to Little North and Thunderous Battle.

“I’ll take over!”

With a loud shout, Thunderous Battle turned around and went up against the eight White Tigers.

In truth, Thunderous Battle’s high-tier body fortification technique was at a higher realm than Happy’s, and when he was fully equipped, even if he had not reached Mystical Realm yet, he could fight against eight White Tigers for some time. As long as his position and movement were suitable and he was not heavily surrounded, he could also increase the level of his high-tier body fortification technique at a very fast rate.

“Boss, should I lure a streak of White Tigers for you so that you can train with them?” Little North suggested.

Lately, he had grown used to watching Happy use his extreme method to quickly increase the realm of his body fortification technique and Wind Spirit Spin. It had become a quite normal event. In Little North’s eyes, once Happy was fully equipped, he could easily withstand the attacks from the White Tigers.

“Don’t need.” Happy shook his head.

Golden Bell Cocoon had always been an outstanding body fortification technique among other high-tier body fortification techniques. It was incredibly good in withstanding attacks, and if he pushed it to the ninth realm, he could go up against powerful martial artists in Life and Death Realm. However, he was not in a hurry to push it to the peak. Right then, his lightness skill was the one that was low in level. He also needed stronger martial arts that could kill his opponents.

He had already entered Mystical Realm, but it was not easy for him to maintain the qi required to keep it activated either. He had to increase his qi so he could maintain the buffs provided by the third qi realm (an increase in 30% for all his abilities) for a longer time. It would subsequently increase the defense of his Golden Bell Cocoon.

The battle in Fox Cave had brought him a realization that he still faced some danger when he fought alone against a group. Even though he could use Flowering Knights’ Song and Stormy Shadowless Kick together to sweep away the elites from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect, he had only been able to do so with the help of Dew Pills. If he did not have them, he would have died a long time ago.

The explosive strength of Stormy Shadowless Kick was really high, but it was not enough for him to kill multiple Blessed Realm players with body fortification techniques in a short amount of time. Flowering Knights’ Song’s damage was high, but Happy could only attack when his enemies were caught off guard, or else his attacks had a low chance to be effective. If he’d had faster sword or saber techniques, there would have been very few people from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect who could have escaped that day.

Besides, it had been many days since the battle in Fox Cave.

There were more and more players in Mystical Realm. The number of people who received quests that would reward them with high-tier martial arts from their masters was also increasing by leaps and bounds!

Soon, high-tier qi cultivation techniques, high-tier lightness skills, and high-tier body fortification techniques would fill the world, and the era in which players could move about freely in the game would soon arrive.

If Happy continued being complacent, it would only be a matter of time before he was no longer first on the Famous People Rank!

Happy thought about it for a while, then sat down cross-legged under Little North’s gaze and began breathing using the circulation route of Constellation Breathing Technique. His qi began circulating in his eight extra meridians to quickly restore the qi he had used up just then.

However, in Little North’s eyes, his boss had become very different when he circulated his qi. The area around him had become darker since the air had began to gather around him in a mad rush! Little North could vaguely see a few dark spots beside Happy. They looked like a few specks of starlight sparkling in the dark sky.

“Is this a Mystical Realm Qi Cultivation Technique?” Little North was incredibly shocked. “It’s really incredible.”

In less than five minutes, Happy completed one full-body circulation. Not only did he manage to restore his body to its peak condition and become full of energy, his qi cultivation technique had also leveled up.

This was how different were Mystical Realm high-tier qi cultivation techniques. At level 1, they already had much better recovery effects than high-tier qi cultivation techniques from the middle stage of Blessed Realm.

For Happy, who had just stepped into Mystical Realm, the recovery speed was simply astonishing. In half a minute, he managed to recover to his peak. What he did just then was really just to fill up his meridian system and strengthen his qi.

The recovery effects proved that the technique was pretty good.

A low-tier qi cultivation technique at Grandmaster Realm could at most increase 0.01 qi after one performed a full-body circulation, and they could only effectively increase qi three times a day. However, when Happy circulated his qi just then, it had increased by 0.03 points. Three years later, that qi cultivation technique would have increased his qi by more than ninety points alone.

Happy picked up the Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword he had placed over his knees and focused on a White Tiger that was chasing a zombie. He switched to his Yellow Dragon Archer Gear while he spoke to Little North, who was next to him.

“Mystical Realm high-tier martial arts are more difficult to train. It will take a longer time to push them to Grandmaster Realm. If you’re bored, you can go wander around the area and search for Hoof Shadows, or you can go back to your clans and receive quests from your masters. I will most likely be entering isolated training here for a month.”

Little North stared at Happy so shocked that his jaw fell slack.

“One month?! So long?!”

Since Little North had Illusory Spirit Body and his two zombies had also reached Mystical Realm, he had also reached Mystical Realm. He longed to wander around the lands since a long time ago, so when he heard Happy’s words, he nearly tripped in surprise.

With Little North’s personality, it would be incredibly hard for him to stay around for a month without doing anything.

Happy smiled faintly and did not explain himself.

They were currently in a period of time when quests that rewarded high-tier martial arts came raining down like a thunderstorm. If they did not increase their strength properly during it, they might soon end up being normal players. It had to be known that Happy had trained madly without ever stopping for the whole three years he played the game in his previous life. It was the reason why he could gradually surpass most players, but he was not the only one like that!

If he let his guard down and believed himself to be invincible, he would be surpassed and eliminated from the competition.
