Chapter 942: Level Up, Moksha Realm!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Happy’s current strength did indeed make it hard for him to be able to deal high damage, especially on unique beasts which had taken medicine to become stronger. It was very difficult for him to get rid of them this way, but he had absolutely no problem if he were to only use his movement speed and nimble movements to attract their attention and even bring them into the traps.
Forget about how nimble Phantasmal Body Movement made him to be, Pet.i.te Dragon’s dodging effect in close-quarters combat was also great, and once he began practicing Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic, he became much more dexterous. He moved around the group of beasts for half a minute, and it looked as if he was surrounded by dangers, but in truth, nothing happened to him, and this shocked Hunter Clan so much that they nearly forgot to set up traps.
When the group of white tigers and lions were furious because of Happy’s actions and were practically squeezing themselves together to attack him, the beast tamer no longer tried to command them anymore. He just let them attempt to devour the enemy through their instincts.
But Happy’s goal was not just this. He got out of the encirclement formed by the beasts and headed nonstop to the beast tamer with the black whip in his hands.
Crack!
The beast tamer did not panic. He raised his hand and flung his whip.
A faint sonic boom caused the air to tremble.
Happy will naturally not let him succeed.
Pet.i.te Dragon!
A black whip shadow pierced through the afterimage Happy left behind on the spot where he originally was, and it happened as quickly as lightning.
When the beast tamer noticed Happy getting closer swiftly, only then did he have a strong sense of danger rise in him. He was prepared to widen the distance between himself and the enemy so that his white tigers and lions will fight against the enemy instead.
Dragon Capture!
He grabbed the beast tamer’s whip with one hand before he quickly went behind the beast tamer and struck with his fist as well as elbow. The attacks brought forth dull thuds.
Hidden force surged out. The beast tamer was unable to help himself but be sent flying with a grunt.
Even though he did not receive any substantial damage, the beast tamer soon noticed that the situation was bad.
What came at him were the white tigers he trained. Their sharp claws came out of their huge paws, and they had already finished forming their attack stance.
The pitiful beast tamer was sent flying to his white tigers, and a terrifying gash was instantly left behind on his body before he was pinned under a paw.
“Ah!”
Although Happy’s attack was not high, the damage from the white tiger’s claw was incredibly terrifying.
The beast tamer let out a shrill whistle without regard to all costs, and it stimulated the beasts so much that they went berserk and pounced at Happy.
Happy did not dare remain idle. He quickly brought that group of beasts to run to the courtyard next door.
“Get ready!”
Mu Qi’s eyes brightened. He finally managed to tell what Happy was thinking.
That claw strike had befuddled the beast tamer, and right now, even when Happy lured a group of beasts over, it was impossible for the beast tamer to notice the traps on their side.
‘Brilliant!’
Just as Happy predicted, he increased his speed when he rushed past the traps, and when the group of beasts pounced into the traps, the Gu poison and traps were activated at the same time!
Sharp hidden weapons attacked the white tigers and lions’ lower abdomen from the most unexpected places and tore out vicious gashes on their bodies.
In an instant, ten beasts were covered in injuries, and their bodies were covered with all sorts of hidden weapons and sharp arrows.
“No!” When the injured beast tamer saw this, his eyes instantly became bloodshot. He continued releasing all sorts of whistles to urge the beasts into taking different actions.
Unfortunately, the traps Hunter Clan set up were continuous and layered. The damage was astonis.h.i.+ng, and naturally, they left behind no possibility for the beasts to survive.
The beasts fell with a bang one after another!
Happy did not even spare them a glance. He just sped up and rushed into the courtyard where he originally came from to go straight to the beast tamer.
Since the beast tamer was injured, his movements were clearly not as good as before. When he saw Happy charging over, he swung his whip, but Happy accurately caught it right when he delivered his attack, and Happy yanked the whip so fiercely that the beast tamer lost his balance. With just a few hits, he sent him sprawling on the ground.
The beast tamer mainly relied on the beasts beside him in a fight, and his own strength did not amount to much.
However, he gained quite a lot of drops from the beast tamer.
Once he killed the beast tamer, Happy actually received a notification from the system that he was successful in his fight against someone of a higher level than he was. Then came the system notification telling him that he reached another qi realm, and the news brought Happy great excitement.
“Congratulations to Player Happy. You entered Moksha Realm!
“You understood Ten True Dragon Styles’ fourth style, Dragon Coil!”
“Awesome!” Happy was happy, and he brought out the Indestructible Body he obtained not too long ago from the treasure house and chose to practice it.
“You leveled up?”
“You’re in Moksha Realm now? Congrats!”
The group from Hunter Clan had already ended their battle. When they saw that Happy had suddenly exuded the same, powerful qi flow and presence as they did, they surrounded them in great delight.
“Yeah!” Happy had already become calm once more.
“Let’s be quick in taking the loot and continue with the next wave!” He had already experienced the joy of leveling up in the other world, and at that moment, he was actually not that excited. All he felt was a sense of satisfaction that his distance with the others had shortened.
Now that he was in Moksha Realm, it meant that his distance with Blood Robes and the current elites had already shortened to a stage where he can control.
At the very least, if he used Dragon Capture at Moksha Realm, even Blood Robes will not be able to ignore his attack.
Mu Qi was in charge of collecting the loot.
There were ten beasts, and they obtained a total of three pieces of equipment, but the material from each beast was a little better than the creatures who moved alone just now. Besides, the beast tamer also dropped a rather decent Moksha Realm martial artist manual called Black Clouds Whip. Even though the price for it was not high, Happy believed that he will not have a problem in getting a few hundred thousand for it. Mu Qi made a calculation of their rewards this time and found that they should be able to get around eight million taels of silver. It can be considered a rather decent result.
The group was excited for a small moment. The trap masters then enthusiastically began to set up a second round of traps at the other side before everyone looked at Happy.
*****
The entire process lasted for less than twenty minutes. Happy used the same method to get rid of the entirety of the second group of beasts and their tamer. Their loot was worth more than six million.
Based on the ratio, Happy obtained nearly five million taels of silver.
Even though he was still a distance away from one hundred million taels of silver, based on his current speed, it will not be difficult for him to get that money within a day.
This was the first time Hunter Clan was so effective in such an objective sense. They were so excited that they did not want to leave. They moved through the courtyards and suddenly felt that it was incredibly easy for them to get money.
However, after moving through more than ten courtyards by taking multiple turns, all they did was run into empty courtyards or run into normal Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts Disciples, and the group felt rather gloomy.
“This won’t do, we’re going around in circles. If we continue like this, we won’t be able to run into a lot of beast tamers, we have to continue venturing deeper!” Happy was able to see where the problem was.
Hunter Clan instantly put on surprised and hesitant expressions. They looked at each other at a loss.
“What’s wrong?” Happy could see that there was something different about their expressions.
Mu Qi said with a wan smile, “The first three courtyards in the mountain villa are considered to be of normal difficulty. If we head further inside, the difficulty level will be increased to hard. Even though the increase in strength for the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts Disciples won’t be great, the white tigers, lions, and Spirit Leopards will be at the level of fierce beasts, and they’ll be much stronger than the three courtyards at the perimeter of the mountain villa. They’re faster, and their damage is much higher. What is the most troublesome thing about them is that we won’t be able to kill all of them with the traps we set up. Also, the traps in those courtyards are much more dangerous.”
“Oh?” Happy frowned. “Don’t you intend to try? If you really can’t bear with it, I’ll act as rearguard and protect you while you retreat.”
In truth, if he were alone, it will truly be difficult for him to get rid of one beast within a short period of time. Now, since he was able to lead this group of people to farm money quickly, he did not want to leave immediately either.
When they heard this, the group was tempted.
In truth, they were already considered to be veterans at Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. They naturally knew that the perimeter will only resp.a.w.n after half a day, and it was impossible for them to get more beast tamers for them to continue their farming escapades.
But at the same time, they did not want to end things so quickly. They had managed to clear four groups of beast tamers and their beasts in two hours, and they obtained nearly forty million taels of silver as their reward. This opportunity was not something they can obtain everyday, and it was also impossible for Happy to continue working with them.
Happy’s suggestion can be said to have been made targeting their desires.
The group agreed to it, and Happy activated Indestructible Body to open the path.
The Moksha Realm body fortification technique he obtained from the treasure house was indeed extraordinary. Even though it was only at the first realm, it was not that much inferior to the defense of a Mystical Realm body fortification technique at Grandmaster Realm.
A small ball of flame seemed to have come out of Happy’s body to cover him and form a faint layer of grayish black light on his skin. When he was attacked, some of the damage will be absorbed straightaway.
Even though it leveled up very slowly, some of the subtleties in its defense was much greater than Arhat Body, and right when he practiced it, it went straight ahead to increase two Affinity points for Happy, and this was something rare.
*****
When the sect master of Five Venoms suddenly received a messenger pigeon from his subordinates when he was training outside, he instantly scowled and wrote back angrily.
[They’re not willing to sell the items to you? How much did you offer?
[I already told the both of you to increase the price by one million of what Happy offered to buy those items. You brats, did you intentionally demand for a lower price to try and pocket the money I gave you?!]
[Boss, we wouldn’t dare!]
[You wouldn’t dare, my foot! You either demand a lower price or threaten people when you buy an item! It’s my fault for always letting all of you run loose on other days… but you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, I’m telling you know that if you can’t settle this, I’m going to stuff a scorpion into your mouths!]
The other side pleaded for innocence.
[That’s not it, boss. The person selling Recondite Steel Heavy Sword is from Wind a.s.sault Tower, and no matter how bold we are, we wouldn’t dare threaten him. We did indeed offer a price of seventy-one million taels of silver for his sword, but that jerk just won’t accept the offer, and he said that the item is no longer with him.]
The sect master’s expression changed.
[Wind a.s.sault Tower’s? What about the other person?]
[Please don’t even mention him, boss. You know him. He’s Cunning Monkey, the one in Merchant Alliance and who is as devious as an evil spirit. He mentioned some nonsense about being trustworthy is the most important virtue, and he even lied to us saying that Happy offered a price of fifty million. He said that he will only be willing to sell us the manual if we prepare at least sixty million. Boss, you only gave us that bit of money, and so, we naturally have to ignore him.] The other side wrote eloquently to justify himself.
The sect master was completely speechless at this point.
They decided to take action before Happy, but they ran into two troublesome people.
One refused to accept the price they offered, and the other seized the opportunity to increase the price.
‘Does he want money to spill from his pockets by setting the starting price for a unique level manual at Moksha Realm at sixty million?’
If he agreed to this trade, perhaps he will not even be able to make Happy feel depressed, instead, Happy will just end up laughing until he cried.
[Boss, are we still going to buy it?]
The sect master flew off his handle. [Buy it?! Do you think I cough up money?! Return that money to me! I’m not buying those things anymore! One is a broken sword, and the other is a stupid book! Let him train with those stupid things! Does he think he can overturn Cla.s.s One Hall and Blood Alliance anyway?! Bah!]
*****
In Beijing, the two stall owners talked to each other at their stalls and grinned coldly. “If Cla.s.s One Hall sent their own members over, I might show them some respect, but they actually sent those trash from Five Venoms? And they only increased the price by one million taels! Do they think we’re beggars?”
