Chapter 573: 573

[Joined Finger:

[Guides the true qi from three systems and makes them gather at the fingers . The true qi will be as sturdy as steel, and when you advance with this attack, you can fight against divine weapons . When you retreat, you can attack your enemies through the air in an invisible manner . When you breathe, you can use this attack .

“Once you master it, you can attack your enemies’ vitals with no sign and take their lives . This is one of the most fearsome and powerful finger techniques in the world . The only flaw is that with every attack, you will use up a certain amount of qi . Those below Life and Death Realm cannot use this . ]

*****

Once Happy found a rather high-grade training spot, he charged into a bandit nest belonging to a group of Life and Death Realm bandits alone . He went from the entrance of the mountain fort to the cliff right in the deepest part of the fort .

During that time, there were no sounds of any weapons clashing . Wherever he went, it was incredibly quiet . None of the bandits could get thirty feet to Happy; they all just fell to the ground without a sound soon after entering his sight . If anyone flipped over the corpses, they would see a terrifying hole at a vital spot! It would be at their heads, heart, or one of the vital acupressure points in the body!

On his way, Happy ran into more than three hundred Life and Death Realm bandits, along with a few bandit leaders at Moksha Realm . All of them died in the mountain fort .

The entire process did not last more than five minutes .

It was as if Happy was taking a leisurely stroll around his backyard . He kept attacking with his fingers, and there was no one who could stop him . In fact, even the bandit leaders in Moksha Realm were killed with just three finger strikes . They were incredibly weak .

During that period of time, while the amount of qi required for Joined Finger was incredibly great, the effects of Nine Yang Divine Skill were also completely revealed!

While he breathed, he could use his Nine Yang Divine Skill at will . His Joined Finger drained ten points of qi every time he used it, but Nine Yang Divine Skill quickly replenished it . Happy did not need to take any medicine, because his qi was constantly full, so much so that when he rushed into the mountain fort and faced a large group of mountain bandits, he did not panic . He just attacked with two fingers and handled the fight .

“…Hiss . ”

When the battle ended, Happy finally had the chance to examine Joined Finger and Nine Yang Divine Skill . The two skills worked together perfectly . One had astonishing damage, and the other provided endless qi to ensure that the former could be used nonstop . With fourth-echelon Golden Gloves, Happy’s attacks could no longer be described as just sharp .

Three hundred or so bandits were killed within a short period of time .

Happy could be said to have a smooth progress in whatever he did!

He stood at the cliff behind the mountain fort with three of his fingers pressed close to each other . He managed to push down three holes the size of the top of his fingers on a flat wall, and they were all several inches deep . Then, he laughed boisterously before he went down the mountain without hesitation .

The initial damage of Joined Finger surpassed that of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, and even though it did not have the profound secret of increasing the user’s attack with each palm strike, its damage was very powerful from the start . It could easily take a person’s life .

Once it reached the peak, its damage could compare to a blow from an Inaction Realm martial artist . It was even equal to the damage from the tenth palm strike of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm . As long as its realm was high enough, it was an extraordinary ultimate technique .

Happy’s demands were very low: he wanted a place that had quite a lot of training dummies which had a relatively high qi realm so that he could train in peace and increase Joined Finger’s realm as quickly as possible!

There were three major killing moves in Joined Finger at Grandmaster Realm .

Even though they were not as ingenious as those of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, their effects were great, and even if Happy faced One Emperor, he was still confident that he could win .

When Nine Yang Divine Skill’s level was still low, its effects were not obvious when it came to increasing the speed at which a person practiced a martial art . However, Nine Yang Divine Skill’s effects in qi recovery saved Happy a lot of trouble . He did not need to take any medicine or meditate when he used Joined Finger . His qi came to him in never-ending streams .

Happy only needed to search for a place with enough enemies, and the level of his Joined Finger kept increasing . In less than half a day, he reached the third realm .

“It’s time to eat . ”

Happy did not forget the date he had for that day . He recomposed himself, logged out of the game, sized up the person with the cold face in the mirror in front of his closet, turned around, and walked out of the bedroom .

There were a lot of dishes in the living room, along with a few girls who chatted pleasantly and fooled around . They were all teasing Xu Xin .

When Xu Xin saw Happy walk in, she stopped playing with her friends with a red face . “Alright, the idol you’ve been thinking about is here . Go and cause trouble for him . ”

“He’s… Chen Kaixin?” The couple girls who were dormmates with Xu Xin were all familiar faces, but when they saw Happy, they experienced varying degrees of shock before they quieted down .

“He seems to have changed a lot . ”

“Yeah, before, he was a little slow in the head, but now…”

“It’s as if he’s releasing sparks from his eyes . ”

The girls discussed among themselves in whispers without any intention to hold themselves back . Their voices only grew louder .

Happy ignored their discussion and walked straight to the dining table, where he sat down . His gaze landed on Xu Yao, who was sitting quietly by the window, which happened to be right across from him .

The abnormal atmosphere caused the girls to finally stop with their crazy antics . They noticed that Xu Yao’s expression was a little strange and that she seemed to be a little nervous while sitting across from Happy .

“Xin, girl, why did you bring Xu Yao here? She seems to be interested in your man…” One of the girls lowered her voice in the way gossipers did, and together with the others glared at Xu Xin before they stared at Xu Yao with fierce stares . They looked as if they had already turned Xu Yao into the greatest rival in love of their best friend .

“You’re all here . Welcome . Don’t be so stiff, relax . ”

Naturally, Happy noticed the atmosphere among the girls . He smiled faintly and poured himself a cup of water at his pace while ignoring the girls’ gazes, which contained an underlying meaning .

He then took a look at Xu Yao and said, “Thunderous Battle asked you to manage some of the affairs in Mu Clan, and I heard that you did an outstanding job . ”

As time passed, the hate in Happy’s heart had begun to fade a little . He could also suppress the fluctuations in his emotions when he faced Xu Yao face to face, so his tone was very indifferent .

Silence fell among the group of girls .

Xu Xin’s dormmates had thought that Happy was interested in Xu Yao, and they wanted to unite to attack her, but when they heard Happy’s tone, they immediately knew that it was just a misunderstanding .

He was not speaking in a teasing tone, but the tone used by a superior to a subordinate, and there was no hint of politeness in it .

‘Could it be that there’s actually nothing between these two?’

The puzzlement in the girls’ eyes faded away . They sat down more comfortably and observed the situation seriously .

However, Xu Xin still noticed that Xu Yao’s appearance had clearly caused a slight change in Happy’s emotions . He usually did not speak in this sort of manner; he was very gentle and cordial .

Even when he faced his clan mates in Mu Clan, his tone was also very gentle, as if he was talking to friends .

But when he faced Xu Yao, there was a sense of distance that was directed at her!

“Happy . ” Xu Xin cast a glance at Xu Yao’s nervous expression, then looked at Happy in worry . She frowned and said, “This is the first time Xu Yao came over here as a guest . Don’t frighten her . ”

“Yes, I know . ” Happy smiled faintly, and his tone suddenly turned gentle . “I’m sorry, I’m just used to being serious . Please don’t take offense to it . ”

He was so obedient that the other girls in the apartment were stunned, and they looked at Xu Xin in disbelief .

Their gazes were full of admiration, but they also seemed to be rebuking her . ‘Damn it, girl, how dare you say that there’s nothing between you when he’s reacting this way to you?’
