Sword Among Us Chapter 943

As his understanding toward Tendon Changing Classic increased, Happy also discovered the similarities between this qi cultivation technique and Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Even though he lost the ability to copy martial arts, Tendon Changing Classic still allowed his qi to increase very quickly, just like Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Also, Tendon Changing Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill were both amazing qi cultivation techniques. They would both automatically protect their user and reduce the damage he had to suffer.

One of it will automatically place a layer of Nine Yang Aura over his organs and body to fortify them.

One of them will add a layer of qi flow on his tendons and bones, and that qi flow was the periosteum that had yet to take shape.

Also, Tendon Changing Classic can just increase his defense without Happy needing to use any qi on it.

There was another thing that was rather similar about them.

While Nine Yang Divine Skill can help its user in increasing the speed his martial arts leveled up when he trained, the effects were even better in Tendon Changing Classic.

When he was attacked, Tendon Changing Classic will slowly increase in level, just like a body fortification technique. It was rather strange, but because of it, it can level up and increase in realms much faster than normal qi cultivation techniques.

Each time it leveled up, Happy's meridian system will widen, and that meant that his strength will increase, and he can use his qi even more proficiently than before. He can attack even faster and counter just as equally fast. His control over his moves were incredibly natural.

In fact, Happy could not sense that he died once. He seemed to still be at the peak of his condition, and he was actually getting stronger and stronger bit by bit.

They bulldozed their way into the three courtyards in the middle section of the mountain villa, but the increase in level for Indestructible Body was very slow. After three hours, it had only reached the second realm. However, Tendon Changing Classic had already reached the fourth realm.

His qi increased swiftly to 653 points, and his Affinity had already reached the wall that was three hundred points.

Just like what Hunter Clan mentioned, the difficulty level in the three courtyards in the middle of the mountain villa was increased to hard, and the beasts there were much fiercer than before. The beast tamers also transformed into men beyond the Great Wall. They had huge arms and thick waists, and they were incredibly hard to deal with.

However, since Happy was skilled in dodging and moving around, he created chances for Hunter Clan's trap masters to deliver severe blows to the beasts, and once they did, he went up and used Petite Dragon to avoid the attacks nimbly while attracting the beasts' attention. At the same time, he also practiced Indestructible Body as well as trained Tendon Changing Classic.

Even though the time they needed to kill these beast tamers and their beasts increased, to Hunter Clan, they gained much greater benefits than before.

Some of these beast tamers were infinitesimally close to the peak of Inaction Realm while some were even close to the beginning stage of Myth Realm, and they would occasionally drop one demon vessel or a high grade or supreme grade martial art manual. Their rewards were much greater than when they fought against normal beast tamers.

With Happy, who did not fear facing the beasts and fighting against them head on, the group ran wild in the three courtyards in the middle section, and their faces were filled with excitement and delight.

This lasted until night.

Happy logged off once at night before he logged in again, and after that, he reluctantly parted ways with Hunter Clan.

At this moment, the rewards Happy obtained were worth around seventy million. Even though he did not exchange them for in-game money yet, Mu Qi said he can get rid of those items quickly, and he will be able to get his money on the second day.

Happy exchanged some of his in-game money for real cash before he logged off.

It was nearly twelve now.

'I wonder how the other Chen Kaixin went through his day.'

While he laid in bed, Happy could not help but put on a melancholic expression.

Even though things had begun going back on track on this side, he had been over there for one and a half years, and the emotions as well as all that he invested over there made it difficult for him to cast them all away.

Xu Xin, the Three Lonely Wolves, Silver Wolf, and the others were all people he cannot contact in this world, but their faces will occasionally pop up in his head.

“Sigh…” Happy shut his eyes in slight resignation under the dim sleep light in the room.

'Why is Tendon Changing Classic so difficult to train?'

But Chen Kaixin did not have such a smooth day in the branch prison.

Even though he managed to get Tendon Changing Classic and obtained a rather decent sword technique manual from the clan storage, he did not know how to use it. When he used Tendon Changing Classic to activate the sword technique, he sensed as if there was something blocking his qi, and it was incredibly hard for him to push his qi forward. It was as if he cannot circulate the true qi in his body smoothly. When he held a sword that weighed dozens of pounds in his hands, he also found it incredibly hard to swing it.

Also, Chen Kaixin cannot even last through a few moves from the Inaction Realm NPCs. If it were not for the fact that his equipment was insanely good and that Nine Yang Divine Skill can be activated automatically to protect him, he might end up being absolutely dominated by the Inaction Realm NPC.

Half a day passed, and Chen Kaixin noticed that his Tendon Changing Classic practically did not move, and the improvement on his sword technique was also incredibly slow. By now, it had only reached the second realm.

It had to be known that the increase in realm for a martial art at the early stages was very easy. Based on the memories he gained, when Happy practiced Moksha Realm's Universe's Lightning Destruction Style, he managed to reach the sixth realm in one go. Then, he challenged those stronger than he was in terms of qi realm and managed to level up that technique incredibly quickly, and his situation was completely different from Chen Kaixin's. He was practically progressing at the speed of a snail.

He sized up the gloomy prison around him, and Chen Kaixin felt as if he was the one who was imprisoned and had to lead a miserable life, where a day would feel like a year while he was imprisoned.

Chen Kaixin only stopped training at night, and he sat down with his legs crossed to think, even though he was dejected.

'I must be using the wrong method!

'Don't panic! If I am him, what will I do?

'Tendon Changing Classic… If it's him…'

Chen Kaixin shut his eyes tightly, and he began to recall all the subconscious actions his other self did.

'Hmm? It's not twelve just yet, right?

'Is there an emergency?'

While Happy laid in bed, he suddenly felt an incredibly powerful suction force travel to him faintly, and he cast a quick glance at the clock beside him with a puzzled gaze.

'It's only eleven!'

For some reason, Happy felt his heart tense.

He made a promise with Chen Kaixin that he was to only pull Happy to this world at twelve, but if he drew him over right now, that must mean that something major happened!

However, at the moment his consciousness was dragged over, Happy suddenly felt that there was something different.

It was not a powerful suction force yanking him over, instead, they were both attracting each other.

'What's going on?'

At the moment Happy returned to the other world, he immediately felt that there was something different this time.

He was sitting in prison.

A prisoner at Inaction Realm was staring at him with a derisive and mocking gaze. In his hands was his reward for the day. It was a wineskin, and he was pouring its contents leisurely into his mouth.

But Chen Kaixin did not immediately reply to him.

'This shouldn't happen…

'What happened?' Happy asked in his mind.

But there was only silence.

It was only at that moment that Happy noticed he was sitting in the prison while he was circulating his qi. If anything major happened, based on this Chen Kaixin's personality, he should not be able to remain so calm and relaxed.

Happy called for him a few times, and he was certain that something happened now.

He scowled and quickly brought out the log for the day.

In it was the log recording all the system notifications of his training for the day, the contents from his letters, his quest log, and some battle information.

Since he cannot obtain any information from Chen Kaixin, Happy can only take action by searching for information himself.

Very soon, Happy organized the letters he received for the day and read through them.

Aside from Wandering Know-it-all mentioning that he obtained information about those Sky Demon Slips, he also received information that a few people from Wild Wolf had already appeared in the Chinese server.

When he saw this, Happy did not immediately look surprised, delighted, or excited.

As of right now, Wild Wolf had not developed to a great extent. Since they were in the Chinese server right now, all he needed was one sentence, and these people will be killed in the Chinese server.

Right now, Happy's most urgent task was to understand just what happened to Chen Kaixin. He had suddenly brought Happy over but did not say anything. Did he experience some kind of shock?

Once he read through the contents in the letters, Happy brought out the other logs and read through them, and he frowned slightly.

Chen Kaixin was online for quite some time, but the speed in which his Tendon Changing Classic leveled up was just… miserable.

Time over here progressed almost at the same pace as this place, but his level for Tendon Changing Classic was at the fourth realm, and he had even spent a few hours in physiotherapy and farming money.

But Chen Kaixin's level was only at the beginning stage of the second realm…

Wind Chant Swordplay had also just entered the second realm.

'What the heck is going on?' Happy frowned so much that he looked as if there was a metaphorical cloud hanging over his head.

'Even a newbie shouldn't produce this sort of results.

'Did this jerk decide to hide because of low self-esteem issues?'

Once he took a look at the battle log, Happy gained a bit of understanding as to what happened.

Even though he could not understand why Chen Kaixin brought him over before their agreed time, this boy had actually been distressed by this for a few hours instead of training. By the looks of it, his emotional turmoil should be pretty big.

Happy no longer tried to call for Happy. Instead, he tried to search for the reason behind why he was leveling so slowly through the notifications in the battle log.

'You wore fourth-echelon high-grade demon vessels to fight against an Inaction Realm NPC? Just how afraid of death are you…?

'My Arhat Body is at Grandmaster Realm, you know? And my Nine Yang Divine Skill is also at Grandmaster Realm. I'm even at Moksha Realm. If I wear equipment with insane defense, my defense will reach ten thousand, and there's no way an Inaction Realm prisoner can hit me. Bro, Tendon Changing Classic won't even be able to sense any sort of pressure if you do this.'

When he thought of this, Happy's eyes lit up. 'That's right!'

He suddenly got up and walked in front of the Inaction Realm prisoner fearlessly and pridefully before he ordered the prisoner to attack him.

The Inaction Realm prisoner was still very obedient. He put away his wineskin, and his saber glare came cutting at Happy's face.

Once Happy activated Arhat Body, he withstood a head on blow on his shoulder. Suddenly, a red light shot out on its own from his body and negated most of the damage from the attack.

“Back off!” Happy ordered while he mumbled in his heart, 'I see, so that's how it is.'

The contempt on the prisoner's face suddenly faded away, and he stared at the person in front of him in bafflement. He could not believe how this person suddenly became so bold. Just now, he had been forced to run everywhere helter-skelter because of his attacks.

Under the prisoner's surprised gazes, Happy already found the reason behind why Tendon Changing Classic leveled up so slowly.

Nine Yang Divine Skill will automatically protect him, and his personal defense was too high. Tendon Changing Classic cannot take the stage at all, and it cannot sense any sort of pressure from the attacks, which was why it laid dormant.

Even though this was the first time Happy saw a situation like this, that was still what happened.

Happy switched his equipment and ordered the prisoner to attack him while he was dressed in only cotton clothes.

This time, the problem was solved.

Tendon Changing Classic finally increased in level.

'The problem for Tendon Changing Classic can be considered to have been solved, but my martial arts shouldn't be increasing so slowly.' While Happy frowned, he brought out a normal grade one longsword. He did not even bother with activating his qi realm and just executed some moves against the prisoner using Wind Chant Swordplay.

The sword technique drifted about in a bizarre manner.

Happy soon figured out its essence and attacked nonstop with the sword technique. In an instant, he left behind multiple wounds on the prisoner. When the questioning look in the prisoner's eyes turned into respect and fear from the barrage of attacks Happy dealt on him, he hugged his wineskin and went to huddle in his corner after he received his order to back down. He was no longer as careless as he was before.

Happy ignored the change in the prisoner's attitude. He just continued scowling. 'There's no problem. The increase in speed for the sword technique is normal.'

He could not quite understand what was going on anymore.
