Chapter 954: It’s Me

In Ghost’s Domain was a wide valley with eight spiders and scorpions. Hunter Clan and Happy had started training there, and their training started progressing positively.

The entrance to the valley was already set up with more than thirty continuous traps, and they were set up close to each other. There were also some hidden traps set up by the sides of the entrance. Half an hour passed into their grinding, and no one bothered them.

Mu Qi was right. The Eight-eyed Parasitic Spider was indeed very good. Every time the small spiders it released were massacred, it will release another cluster of ten once in a while. Each of them also possessed strength that was not weaker than those in Inaction Realm. With their mother, which was at the peak of Inaction Realm, they were actually pretty good training targets. It was also an excellent training spot for those with profound supportive martial arts like Wind Spirit Spin and All-direction Agility.

The outer shell of those scorpions were incredibly sturdy. Even if he struck at full force with Great Demonic World Destruction Art, it was difficult for Happy to deal any substantial damage. Happy moved about the scorpions and spiders. Sometimes, an attack by the side grazed at him, and the protective cover from Indestructible Body, which enveloped his body, would shudder madly.

These were different from the attacks from the prisoners in the branch. These spiders and scorpions attacked with the intent to kill, and there was a dense number of them. While Happy moved about, he attracted dozens of attacks on himself, and they easily damaged his body fortification to the point that it started swaying.

If it were not for Tendon Changing Classic being able to provide qi quickly and the fact that Happy had prepared an astonishing number of medicinal pills before he came here, he will not dare to do something so risky.

Great Demonic World Destruction Art went charging at the scorpions around Happy, and it leveled up quickly.

His Illusory Cave Steps, which he just bought recently, improved very slowly.

But Tendon Changing Classic and Indestructible Body managed to increase by half a realm within less than half an hour. His qi and attributes also increased at a much faster pace than the average person. Soon, Happy was immersed in his training.

The group of people at the other side of the valley gradually became numb to this sight.

It was not that they had not seen Happy’s training method before. Many elite players loved using this sort of extreme grinding method. They will lure a bunch of enemy NPCs to themselves and move about to train their lightness skill as well as their martial art in an unrestrained manner. At the same time, they will not dodge the attacks around them so that they can increase their body fortifications at the fastest speed possible.

But this sort of training method was very dangerous, and they will consume a lot of medicinal pills. Even those who were famous in the game cannot maintain this state for long. If they trained like this for a day, the number of medicinal pills they took would be worth more than one million.

The grinding method Hunter Clan chose was the more common route other players chose.

A group of people would be in charge of withstanding the scorpion’s attacks, while most people rained down their attacks without worry. Then, over a long and calm environment, they will slowly level up their martial arts.

Scorpions were enemy NPCs with incredibly sturdy skins and shocking defense. It was not a monster that was easy to defeat, and it can endure attacks for a long time. The amount of EXP it could provide was the same as a group of Inaction Realm prisoners in a sect prison. Hence, the scorpion was highly sought after by many players not affiliated to any sect or were not important members in a sect.

There were benefits to the common method.

It was safe, did not make the players spend a lot of medicinal pills while fighting them, allowed them to save up, and was relaxing. They might be able to chat with each other occasionally.

While Happy trained, his mind was in a tense state. Every time he shifted and attacked, he had to pay full attention, and he had to be on high alert of the amount of qi he had left, along with the status of his body fortification. Also, he had to avoid fatal damage. Because of it, his grinding process was not relaxing in the slightest.

However, as time passed, the results were obvious.

Hunter Clan can clearly see as the number of times Happy’s body fortification was struck increased, its color gradually grew darker, as if it was getting sturdier, even though it swayed and looked as if it was about to shatter at any moment. Besides, the tremors on it also became much weaker when the subsequent attacks landed on it.

Furthermore, Happy’s offense will increase by leaps and bounds once every few minutes. He will endure all damage to kill a cluster of spiders, and that will just be in time for him to kill all spiders before the Eight-eyed Parasitic Spider gave birth to a new cluster of spiders.

Half an hour earlier, his sword technique was light and fast, but it seemed to carry no power.

But half an hour later, the black flames on his black sword suddenly became prominent. Even if there was that grayish-black miasma covering it, it still released a faint heat and a bizarre sword glare. When it landed on the spiders, it would cause sizzling sounds to appear.

‘When the sword technique is at the third realm, its speed and damage will gradually become obvious, but if I really want to use it in a fight with the effects from the black flames, I will need to push it to at least the seventh flame.

‘But at least my Tendon Changing Classic developed quickly. With that Grieving Needle and the rapid attacks from these Inaction Realm enemy NPCs, the speed in which it leveled up is more than fifty percent faster than the other side! It has already surpassed the sixth realm… Indestructible Body is also pretty good. It already has its basic form, and I no longer have a problem in withstanding the nonstop attacks from this cluster of spiders. It’s just a matter of time before I catch up to my other self.

‘But I’m using up my medicinal pills really quickly…

“I basically don’t need to use medicinal pills at the other side. But since I have Grieving Needle on me, it’s worth it.’

While Happy thought about things as he observed himself and attacked, he did not dare to show any sign of idleness when he attacked.

He was starting to like this place a little.

It was no wonder why it became the best training spot for countless high-level players, and it was no wonder why Class One Hall’s high-end members would form parties to train here.

Ghost’s Domain lived up to its fame.

‘Blood Robes and Dream Clouds… By the looks of it, I’ll be able to train to my ideal level in at most half a month, but I have to think a little further.

‘Will I be able to learn a few ultimate techniques while I’m at it?’ Someone began daydreaming.

*****

It was incredibly good to train in Ghost’s Domain. Happy and Hunter Clan discussed with each other about when they should log in and log off before they logged off the game to eat.

“Chen Kaixin, where in heavens did you go to?”

After he swiftly ate the food Xu Yao brought to him in the room, Happy locked himself up in the bathroom, sighed long and hard at the air, and headed to the other side.

He ate again.

He did not know whether it was because he just moved through space and time, but Happy could sense that the wide and bright living room seemed to be missing some of its usual warmth.

Xu Xin ate with her head lowered, and she looked miserable. She just ate with her mind elsewhere, and she did not even add any other food into her own bowl. In fact, she seldom looked at Happy. Xu Yao just continued eating while she sneakily sized him up while he ate. When Happy caught her sneaking glances at him, she would pretend to be drinking water, and she looked like she was a thief.

“What on earth is wrong with you two?”

Happy had already forgotten that he just told the truth to Xu Yao just a few nights ago.

Xu Yao nearly choked on her water. She pushed down against her chest while she turned her head to the side to cough nonstop. Meanwhile, she used a strange gaze to stare at Happy.

It was also at this moment that Xu Xin seemed to have returned to reality. She stared into Happy’s eyes, and there was deep bafflement as well as uncertainty hidden in her eyes.

In actuality, after Happy said those words, he began regretting his actions.

At that moment, it was clear that slowly distancing himself from Xu Xin was the most logical choice. After all, the original owner of this body was not him, and this was something that Chen Kaixin told him a few days ago.

All that he was doing over here right now was for Xu Xin’s good. He should let her go and let her slowly leave him once her feelings for him faded away.

However, when he saw Xu Xin’s lost and frail gaze, Happy felt as if there was a sting in his heart, and his heart shuddered violently.

“Xu Yao!”

He cast a fierce gaze at Xu Yao.

Even though based on how things were supposed to develop, this Xu Yao was supposed to become this body’s girlfriend. However, with Xu Xin in the play, he knew very clearly that Xu Yao was only a stranger to him.

When he saw Xu Xin’s current expression, Happy naturally thought that Xu Yao had already told his greatest secret to Xu Xin, and his heart burned in anger.

Xu Yao had already been acting strangely since that night, and she also paid special attention to this amateur.

But now, no matter how slow she was, she managed to react to the situation. The person in front of her was not the amateur she thought him to be, but her real boss!

“You…” Xu Yao finally managed to recover after slapping her chest a few times. She stared at Happy timidly and hunched her shoulders while shaking her head fervently to show that she did not reveal any information so that she could prove her innocence.

Xu Xin naturally noticed Xu Yao’s silent message. Her gaze stayed for some time on Happy’s face before she said, “I heard your conversation that night.”

When she said those words, Happy felt his breath catch, and it was as if he was about to start suffocating.

When she noticed that the atmosphere between the two had become strange and grave, Xu Yao quickly put down the chopsticks in her hands gently so that she could get up to leave.

“Big Sis Yao, stay.”

Xu Xin was always polite, and she would always attach the word “please” when she requested anyone of anything. But this time, her tone was firm.

As if she heard a sacred order, Xu Yao sat down once again with her head lowered. She did not even dare look at Xu Xin.

“Why did you come back? I thought that you won’t be able to eat my cooking anymore.”

As they expected, Xu Xin knew Happy’s entire secret.

By the looks of it, she had not been sleeping well over the past few days because she was digesting the shocking news that Happy told Xu Yao.

“Xin’er, I’m sorry.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong to me.”

While Xu Xin spoke, there was a light quiver in her voice. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“I’m happy that you’re able to go back to your original world and be together with your girlfriend. I thought that you won’t be coming back, and I had already decided to leave this place. Why did you come back?”

“Xin!” Xu Yao was finally unable to sit still.

Happy sucked in a deep breath and said, “I’m not trying to hide it from you. I never knew that there was another soul in my body, and I didn’t know that I could return to the other world. Then, he appeared, and it’s only then that I noticed that I didn’t have the heart to tell you and make you sad.”

“Then don’t come back!” Xu Xin with her face full of tears. Her voice slowly turned louder. “I was already prepared to leave this place, so why did you come back and give me hope again?!”

Xu Yao quietly got up and gently hugged Xu Xin, who vented the unease and powerlessness in her heart, and she also looked at Happy with a puzzled gaze.

She remembered that Happy told her that he would only appear after midnight to settle certain problems for Chen Kaixin.

But Happy had appeared right now, and her heart was filled with questions.

Xu Xin cried delicately and helplessly for a long time.

Then, while a grave atmosphere settled in the living room, Happy heaved a long sigh and said, “I don’t know what happened, but he has not appeared for a few days.”
