Chapter 86: Three Bow Fusion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a short introduction, Happy gained a basic understanding of the five people. Xu Lang and the others also got a very good impression of Happy, who was their senior brother and who had already gathered some fame.

It was especially so for the two feisty girls. While they walked outside the city, they kept pestering Happy with questions. They seemed to have countless questions and great interest toward their eldest senior brother, whom they had met many times but never understood. Happy was not stingy with his words in the face of the two overly friendly admirers. He would occasionally tell them some of his understanding and knowledge of the game.

Xu Lang and Ghost’s Worry followed behind them while listening attentively. Every time Happy spoke about some of the things he had gone through, experiences, and tricks in the game, they would nod frequently.

Soon, the topic changed to the quest.

“How boring.”

“We’ve been walking for half a day, but we have yet to run into any robbers. It’s a long way from Gusu City to Beijing, if we continue like this, how long will it take?” While sitting on the seat for the coachman, Orchid Researcher pouted with her pink lips and grumbled.

The others showed their agreement.

They did not expect that their journey would be peaceful and boring.

Happy looked up to observe the sky.

“We haven’t left the boundaries of Gusu City yet. Who would dare to rob Murong Clan’s carriage in public and while the sky is bright?”

“You’re right.”

“Everyone, look at the quest log. There is already a sub quest on it.” After Happy reminded them of this, they quickly called up their quest log. When they looked at it, delight instantly appeared on their faces.

There was a new statement before them: There was a courier station ahead of them, and they could get the horses reserved by the Murong Clan over there. At that time, everyone would have a horse, and they could speed up.

“This is great. We can ride horses!”

The faces of the two feisty girls instantly turned red with enthusiasm.

Ghost’s Worry and Xu Lang were extraordinarily excited. Riding on a horse to wander about the land was the dream of every hot-blooded boy. When they thought about how their dream of riding on a horse was about to be fulfilled, how could they resist being excited?

Only Eleventh Crane cast a few glances at Happy, who was incredibly calm…

Only Happy had noticed the appearance of the sub quest in their group. By the looks of it, he did not rely on only being lucky to become outstanding so quickly in Gusu City.

There were plenty of rumors about the Blue-robed Noble Sword User, but until the day before, Eleventh Crane hadn’t known that the first disciple of the Murong Clan might truly have astonishing abilities. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make the two huge sects retreat.

With Happy holding the line for the quest, they were most likely going to get through it with relative ease.

Eleventh Crane touched the wooden bow at his waist and released a small breath of relief.

Happy did not notice Eleventh Crane’s change.

He could understand everyone’s excitement, but he paid more attention to the unstable variable of the bandits. The difference in the strength of bandits varied greatly. There were normal bandits who were just in Gate Realm, and there were also some powerful fighters in the Forest Union who had already reached Mystical Realm. He frowned and thought hard about this matter, but then decided on not reminding the group to be on guard.

If anyone came, Happy and his group would just deal with them.

If they paid too much attention to this matter, they might cause unexpected situations to occur. If that were the case, it would be better if they just went along with the flow!

Once he thought things through, Happy decided to go to the carriage and sit down cross-legged.

He circulated his true qi, and a hazy mist swiftly appeared around him. As Happy breathed indistinctly, his breath would sometimes turn into steam, and at other times, it would turn into dew that would evaporate in a moment. White fog surrounded him, and the rhythm of his breathing was slow and orderly, making him look like an immortal.

The five people in the group were quickly attracted by the strange sight of Happy practicing his qi cultivation technique!

“This is…”

“Will such a great reaction occur when we execute our qi cultivation technique too?”

Ghost’s Worry clicked his tongue and lowered his voice to talk about what he had heard and seen. “About this, I seem to have read this online. There is a martial arts geek whose qi cultivation technique seems to have reached Level 80 or so. When he circulates his qi, it will recover really quickly, and his vitality as well as stamina will also recover, but I don’t think it should have such a great reaction.”

Naturally, he did not know that Happy knew just how important qi cultivation techniques were. Every day, he would spend some time to practice Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique, and the day before, he had used the near dead Great Wolves to practice his secret technique—Black Dragon Murder.

Once almost every bit of the qi in his Dantian Region was used up, he would execute his qi cultivation technique to recover. Its progression was very quick, and he swiftly reached the tenth realm. As of then, he was at Level 93.77, and he believed that before long, his Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique would reach Grandmaster Realm.

At that moment, his qi cultivation technique could make qi circulate in his body on its own. Even though the speed was slow, the recovery rate of a qi cultivation technique in Grandmaster Realm would prove to have a great effect when he had to handle large-scale battles. It would not lose to him constantly eating medicinal tablets.

The five people watched for a moment. As they did so, they began to see the blood, sweat, and tears Happy poured and the effort he put in to become the strongest player in Gusu City through his actions.

He finished circulating his qi all three rounds, and his qi and qi cultivation technique gained an insignificant increase.

When he opened his eyes, Happy saw Eleventh Crane standing in front of him.

Before he could open his mouth, Eleventh Crane spoke up.

“I went to scout the road ahead just now. Before long, we’ll reach the courier station, but there is a group of powerful people ahead of us. Happy, I heard that your throwing knives have reached Grandmaster Realm. I wonder who among us can kill more people.”

His tone, however, did not suggest any sort of provocation. He sounded as if he had just suggested a competition between friends.

Happy did not say anything but nodded in agreement.

Even though lancet knives lost to bows in terms of lethality and the number of lives that could be taken in one go, Happy wanted to know just how great were Eleventh Crane’s bow skills. After all, there was a conceptual difference between those who truly understood bow techniques and those who only knew how to shoot.

Once someone drew close to those who only understood how to shoot, those archers would definitely die.

Those who truly understood bow techniques had technique, accuracy, were lethal with the bow, and could strategize! The truly good archers would not leave a single person alive within one hundred steps…

If Eleventh Crane was a true archer, then Happy could not imagine how great of a help he would be in protecting the carriage. Even if they ran into many powerful fighters from the Forest Union in Blessed Realm, Happy was confident that he could deal with them with Eleventh Crane.

But if he only knew how to shoot…

Happy jumped down from his seat. With one light tap, he left the carriage and charged forward with Eleventh Crane toward the courier station located in the distance. They ran as if they had the wind at their feet and left the carriage far behind them. Their lightness skill were actually on equal footing.

“You’re good.” Eleventh Crane was quite shocked.

It had to be known that he had only two martial arts which had reached Grandmaster Realm as of then. One of them was Three Bow Fusion, and the other was Body Body, which was a lightness skill specifically tailored for bow users. He had spent around a month practicing it, and with those two martial arts in Grandmaster Realm, he obtained a certain amount of fame in Gusu City.

He had wanted to show off some of his might to this young senior brother of his, but he did not expect that his most treasured martial art—his lightness skill—would not be able to suppress Happy. Based on their speed, Happy was even slightly faster than him. He moved freely and in a relaxed manner.

But he did not know that Happy was also shocked.

Bow techniques in Grandmaster Realm were more lethal than throwing knives, and they were much faster and accurate. The distance arrows could cover was also something that throwing knives could never reach. This meant that if two players had lightness skills at the same level, the one who used bow techniques could threaten the one who used throwing knives, while the opposite was not the case…

When he thought of this, Happy felt ashamed.

Why should he be worried if there was such a powerful player in his group? Even if they ran into a powerful fighter in Blessed Realm, he could just fool around and still manage to kill him!
