Chapter 1214: Training

Boom! Boom! Boom!

These booming sounds rose nonstop in the tornado. Happy and Flame Wolf’s fight continued.

They had already exchanged one hundred moves with each other, but the victor had yet to be decided in the fight.

Even though Happy was much stronger than Flame Wolf in terms of strength, at the peak of its condition, Tiger Soul’s strength was way stronger than the incomplete Heaven Crystal. The abilities it provided had not just dissolved Happy’s fierce offense time and again, and its attacks did not use up Flame Wolf’s qi at all. The tiger-shaped saber glares swam in the air, making the weather change. It looked incredibly mighty and murderous.

“Hahahaha!”

Every time he destroyed Happy’s offense, Flame Wolf would become even more smug than before. He laughed nonstop, as if he was already the strongest in the world, and he sounded incredibly conceited.

“Come! Again!”

Even the tornado could not drown Flame Wolf’s confident and smug laughter.

Happy ignored Flame Wolf’s madness. He continued doing what he did all this while and went on using his fiercest moves to attack Flame Wolf.

Hourly Sword Technique had become much stronger after Heaven Crystal had its sword will activated. Its ability in breaking defenses could even allow him to easily tear down the defense of a person in the dao of heaven. Once he used Sun Finger as well, the center of the tornado was filled with finger-generated gusts and sword qis. He also activated Full Winds in Long Skies whenever he had the chance. He was basically just pouring out his skills without thinking.

“It’s useless! Hahaha! It’s useless! Useless!”

Flame Wolf laughed madly in the air. His offense was just as terrifying. The tiger-shaped saber glares swept through the area, and in the distance, they could easily destroy his sword qi and finger-generated gusts of wind.

Sometimes, the saber glares would be destroyed by Full Winds in Long Skies, but the bloody light would rise from Flame Wolf’s body. The thick blood light did not even shake in the slightest, and it completely parried Full Winds in Long Skies’ attack.

Even though it was difficult for him to counterattack Happy’s astonishing offense, it was very easy for him to use Tiger Soul to protect himself.

“Hahahaha! You can’t accept it, can you! You definitely can’t accept it! You’ve schemed a lot, but you didn’t expect that Heaven Crystal would be able suppress the brutal presence in Tiger Soul, and I’ve managed to fully control the strongest demon vessel in the world!” While Flame Wolf attacked, he did not forget to deal psychological attacks on Happy.

Happy did not say a single thing.

When he noticed Happy’s silence, Flame Wolf grinned even more, and he became even more smug. He spoke up repeatedly to provoke Happy.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you.

“If it weren’t for you, Wild Wolves would not have been able to completely control Tiger Soul.

“Don’t worry. Once I fully control all of Tiger Soul’s secrets, the moment I return to the Chinese plains, the first thing I’ll take care of is Lovely Land’s members!

“…You really talk a lot.”

Flame Wolf finally managed to make Happy speak.

His words were cold, and each word seemed like they came out of an ice cave. It could cause chills down others’ spines.

“You don’t have to worry too much.

“Once our leader fully masters Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, Wild Wolves will return to the Chinese plains. As long as you submit to us, Wild Wolves will forever welcome you with open arms.”

Flame Wolf’s words became even more preposterous.

With Tiger Soul in hand, he acted as if the entire Chinese plains and even the whole world was already the Wild Wolves’ possession. Conceited words just kept tumbling out of Flame Wolf’s mouth.

Happy scowled as he listened to it.

“You’re just asking for death!”

Dragon Swings Its Tail.

As if he had struck a nerve, under Flame Wolf’s surprised gaze, Happy suddenly vanished under Tiger Soul’s saber glare.

Flame Wolf’s eyes lit up.

His chance was here!

He took a step back unhesitatingly, and the bloody light from Tiger Soul grew stronger.

“ROAR!!!”

Right when Happy’s body appeared in the air, the white tiger’s roar accurately forced the figure in the air to freeze for a moment.

Flame Wolf had been waiting for this moment for too long!

In truth, Flame Wolf was not very confident that he could win, even though he had endless strength. After all, he had been suppressed all this while by Happy.

And this was the Chinese plains.

He had to find a suitable chance to change his situation and turn the tables so that he could escape from this predicament.

However, Happy’s strength served as an obstacle. Flame Wolf had to pay full attention to handle it, and naturally, he could only use his words to provoke Happy.

Fortunately, Happy was finally unable to hold back, and he used Dragon Swings Its Tail. This was a killing move of Happy’s that Wild Wolves had spent a long time researching.

The group had basically understood the attributes in Dragon Swings Its Tail and its attack trajectory.

The strength of Dragon Swings Its Tail would be the exact same as the enemy’s attack, and the angle of its attack was to the northeast or northwest, which were the blind spots of a person’s vision.

Flame Wolf originally did not have the ability to counterattack Happy, but Tiger Soul had not just given him all sorts of moves, it had also shared with him the will of the evil spirit in Tiger Soul. He could easily investigate all the miniscule movement in everything around him.

Naturally, right after Dragon Swings Its Tail was activated, Flame Wolf quickly locked down on his target, and he used a tiger roar to stun Happy’s spirit.

“I caught you!”

The evil spirit hidden deep in Tiger Soul roared.

Flame Wolf laughed smugly.

Whoosh!

A red light flashed, and a saber glare that was 328 feet long tore open a gap in the tornado.

Flame Wolf swung Tiger Soul down, and Happy’s frozen body was right under the blade.

Golden Arhat!

True origin aura!

Dragon Coil!

Happy had three Willpower points, and he was not someone who could be stunned easily. He managed to snap out instantly from his daze, and without hesitation, he activated three layers of defense before he used Petite Dragon and tried to dodge that dazzling saber glare.

Unfortunately, the saber glare still struck his body.

Even after he activated three layers of defense, at the moment he was struck, his body still burned with pain, and he was thrown into the air.

Once his attack was successful, Flame Wolf’s eyes shone brightly.

There was no way he would just let this chance go.

Because he finally seized the chance…

“Get lost!” Right when he wanted to chase after Happy, a cold and chilling shout that was filled with the power from Dragon’s Roar was released. It sounded like thunder had just rang by his ears.

Flame Wolf shuddered, and he lost his chance to chase after Happy. He could only watch as Happy’s body was thrown 32 feet away. With a nimble backflip, Happy then landed firmly on the sand.

“What a pity…”

Flame Wolf saw that Happy had just lost a layer of his true origin aura, and a flash of regret appeared in his eyes.

Even though he managed to hit Happy just now, the damage was inconsequential. He did not manage to whittle down Happy’s fighting strength, and he also knew that once he lost his chance to chase after Happy and continue attacking him, it would be practically impossible for him to try and threaten Happy again.

But Flame Wolf did not notice that at the moment Happy landed on the ground, his lips curled up slightly while his head was turned to the ground. A very mysterious smile donned his lips.

That faint smile appeared for a brief moment before it disappeared. When Happy looked up, all Flame Wolf saw was a grave and wary expression.

“Again!”

“Hmph!”

Flame Wolf was incredibly displeased. With a grunt, he continued to withstand Happy’s attacks.

The black tornado still remained as strong as ever as time passed.

Saber glares, sword qis, and finger-generated gusts intersected with each other in the tornado. They fought fiercely, and the intensity of the fight was even greater than before.

“What… happened inside?”

“This isn’t an ordinary tornado. When you get close, your qi starts gushing out madly. Before you even get inside, you’d be tortured to death. It might be a hidden quest.”

“The system definitely doesn’t want us to interfere with it.”

Silver Wolf, his party, and a group of players stood in Flame Town as they stared at the phenomenon in front of them. They discussed this event softly. Even if they stood in the town, they could still feel the scattered sand beat against their skin, even though the tornado was far away. When it struck them, it was painful. Every time the sand hit their body fortifications, their body fortifications would start becoming weaker at a rapid speed. Their qi also spilled out of their bodies in streams. No one could take even half a step out of the town. Even the one with the strongest body fortification could not get close to the tornado, much less get inside to see what was going on!

Because of it, even though they were incredibly puzzled, the group could only stay in the town far away and guess what was inside the tornado while they waited quietly for the results.

“Flame Wolf has actually obtained Tiger Soul’s acknowledgement?”

Evil Emperor and Carlson looked at each other at a loss in the dark house across the pond. They were in great disbelief.

They had originally given up on Tiger Soul.

But they did not expect that something like this to happen after all the losses they suffered. It caused their minds to race once more.

“It’s a pity… If Flame Wolf had been faster and just went straight ahead to use that move, Happy might have already died!” Carlson sighed.

Evil Emperor stared at the crystal ball and at Carlson.

“What happened?”

“Happy was sent flying by Flame Wolf. If he managed to stun Happy with that move and amplify his results… Tsk, he lost such a rare chance.”

“That move? He needs time to prepare for it. With Happy’s strength, it’s impossible that he will let Flame Wolf use that move.” He frowned, and Evil Emperor could somewhat guess what Carlson was talking about. He gave a conclusion with a firm voice, “If I were Flame Wolf, if I have a mighty power in my hands but I’m not unfamiliar with it, I wouldn’t fight against Happy without a plan. What exactly is Happy planning?”

Carlson stared at Evil Emperor in puzzlement. Even though he did not want to admit that Happy had the absolute advantage in the fight, there was indeed something strange in Happy’s wanton use of his skills. They could not figure out what he was thinking.

As time passed, Carlson continued to narrate what was going on in the crystal ball to Evil Emperor. He described everything from Happy and Flame Wolf’s attacks and the changes in the fight in great detail.

But the fight was very dull.

Happy remained to be the one taking the lead in attacking, and he attacked without a strategy whatsoever. Sometimes, he would take meaningless risks.

They fought from evening till night.

“Something’s wrong…”

As Evil Emperor listened to the fight, he frowned. Even Carlson, who was in charge of narrating the fight and did not have much offensive power in his hands, could tell that the situation was off. He asked in a puzzled tone, “Leader, why do I think that Happy has been stalling for time?”

“You sensed it too?” Evil Emperor’s gaze focused.

Carlson nodded. “Regardless of whether when he’s fighting against you or with Evil King Shi Zhixuan, his attacks have always been very dynamic. He has a lot of martial arts and ultimate techniques in his disposal, and when he links his support skills together, he’s a huge threat to even those in the dao of heaven. But when he’s fighting against Flame Wolf, he never chains any of his attacks. They look messy and unorganized. Right now, Flame Wolf might be the only one who can’t tell, since he’s involved in the fight.”

“That’s right.” When he heard Carlson’s words, Evil Emperor sucked in a deep breath. “In truth, I have been trying to figure out Happy’s goal all this while, and there is one possibility that is rather far-fetched…”

“…What is it?”

“Happy’s current fighting style is making me think… that he’s treating this fight as training rather than a quest,” Evil Emperor said with a strange look on his face.
