Chapter 338: Breaking the Formation!

Fighting against Silver Wolf had been one of Happy’s greatest wishes in his previous life, and it was also one of his regrets, because he had never managed to fulfill that wish. And yet in this life, Silver Wolf had decided to come to his doorstep to challenge him. There was no way that Happy would not appreciate the chance.

However, right when the duel started, Happy was deeply shocked by Silver Wolf’s battle tactics and schemes.

Parting hooks! Boomerangs!

Happy could tell at first glance that Silver Wolf did not use any hidden weapon technique set by the system.

He simply used his understanding toward boomerangs, his miraculous techniques, and his control over the timing of his boomerangs as well as when he should send them out to reach a stage where he could fight so calmly that he was terrifying.

To a normal person, it was very difficult to maintain the boomerang’s spinning speed using a parting hook, but Silver Wolf could even move around to threaten his enemies. Furthermore, he could control multiple boomerangs, so saying that he was just terrifying was not giving him justice.

Happy was caught off guard, and when he registered the situation, he came to realize that he was already surrounded by boomerangs.

Since he was worried about the terrific spins from the boomerangs, Happy did not choose to use his Golden Bell Cocoon to withstand the attack. His instincts told him that the vibrations and the astonishing speed of the boomerangs would not be as easy to handle as those of normal hidden weapons.

Petite Dragon!

His body twisted.

At the moment before the six boomerangs crossed over each other and closed in on Happy, he walked out through the gaps between the boomerangs like a phantom.

Thud! Thud!

Silver Wolf since the start that he would not be able to defeat Happy so easily. Without a change in his expression, he extended his parting hooks and pulled them back in an alternating fashion. Two of the four boomerangs that returned were made to stab the ground in front of him, returning to the near row in front of Silver Wolf.

At the moment the other two boomerangs came into contact with the parting hooks, they were sent flying out to the left and right again. This time, their speed was even faster than before, and they still aimed for Happy.

The sound of air being sliced was very faint, barely audible, but the boomerangs’ speed was so fast that it was shocking to see. If Happy had not been paying attention since the moment the boomerangs contacted the parting hooks, he might not have been able to dodge the attack!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He shifted one and a half feet on the ground and avoided the two boomerangs. The familiar sound of air being sliced appeared from behind him again then. They were from the fifth and sixth boomerangs Silver Wolf had thrown previously.

‘There’s seriously no end to these attacks…’ Happy felt greatly troubled, since he knew that he was forced into a passive situation!

Even though he knew that he was going to be engaged in a hard battle since the start, Silver Wolf’s strategy of fighting against him from a distance with his boomerangs still made Happy feel as if he was in a sorry plight. He felt at a loss as to how to handle the situation.

It was the first time a player forced Happy to use Petite Dragon right when they met.

It was also the first time Happy was forced into a defensive and passive position.

‘Silver Wolf… As expected of a powerful martial artist who once created the trend of creating personal martial arts…’

Happy avoided four waves of attacks continuously, but he knew that he was still far away from living through all three rounds of attacks Silver Wolf had mentioned. The three rounds he mentioned should mean that Silver Wolf would be using all twelve boomerangs, and Happy was to last for three rounds of that.

Happy wondered whether Silver Wolf could make all twelve boomerangs fly out and intersect with each other continuously. After all, he already found it a little hard to withstand the attacks from eight intersecting boomerangs.

He repeatedly used his Petite Dragon and Phantasm Body Movement Skill, and his qi was rapidly being depleted. If it continued, he would soon use up all his qi. If he waited for Silver Wolf to use his subsequent boomerangs, he would just be waiting for his own death.

Happy clenched his teeth!

At the moment he moved horizontally on the ground, he activated his Golden Bell Cocoon with a bang!

A huge golden bell rose from his body, forming a golden cocoon of light around him. It was just in time to come in contact with two boomerangs when they grazed past Happy’s body.

Ding! Thud!

The trajectories of the two boomerangs were affected, and black light trailed behind them as they were sent flying into the depths of the forest. They then vanished without a trace.

“Beautiful!” Silver Wolf’s eyes lit up.

Naturally, Silver Wolf knew very clearly just how strong were his boomerangs.

Years of practice and mastery made his boomerangs no weaker than bullets when they vibrated at a very high frequency. In fact, he designed the boomerangs under the influence of anti-tank warheads. The tips of the two boomerangs were very sharp, and they could sink two inches into steel plates! World of Martial Arts was designed in a way that was very similar to the real world, and his self-made hidden weapon was assessed by the system as a Mystical Realm high-tier hidden weapon.

After getting multiple Class A battle assessments, Silver Wolf had long ago reached Grandmaster Realm with his boomerang skill. It had the amazing power of being able to instantly break high-tier body fortification techniques.

If Happy had recklessly used his Golden Bell Cocoon to face the boomerangs head on, his Golden Bell Cocoon would have definitely crumbled, and he would have faced the tragic fate of the second boomerang piercing through his body!

Happy’s caution and extreme control allowed him to avoid the disaster.

But Silver Wolf did not lose heart. He swung his parting hooks in a circle with the force of a violent gust of wind, then suddenly lowered his body and swung his parting hooks. Four boomerangs were pulled up from the ground at the same time.

Clear clinging sounds were heard, and four boomerangs shot toward Happy at the same time.

The sound of wind tore at the falling leaves around them. Six boomerangs returned from behind Happy from different directions, and with a show of astonishing unity, all of them locked down on him. They went to pierce the sparkling golden person from different directions and angles!

However, at that moment, Happy did something that left Silver Wolf flabbergasted.

Happy suddenly turned around, and with an unbelievable speed, several rays of light from the sword connected together. They knocked six boomerangs off their course in one go.

But Golden Bell Cocoon was still struck by four boomerangs head-on!

Clang, clang, clang, clang…

While those clear sounds rose in the air, the boomerangs fell around Happy.

“Cough!”

Even though Happy managed to block all the boomerangs and his Golden Bell Cocoon’s brightness was only reduced by half, he still could not completely negate the damage from the boomerang technique at Grandmaster Realm. His face turned red, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, he released a long breath.

“It’s seriously amazing! Haha…”

Even though Happy was slightly injured, not a single hint of anger could be found on his face. There was only happiness after he was released from a burden! He felt the delight a person felt when their fighting spirit burned because of having met a powerful enemy!

Silver Wolf stood stunned on the spot for a long time across from him. After a long while, a wan smile appeared on his face under the silver mask.

“I lost!”

He did not expect that Happy would discover the secret behind the boomerangs so soon.

They had two levels of damage, and the second level was twice the damage of the first level. When the spin of the boomerangs was too slow, they would not have the effect of breaking body fortifications. They only had the ability to break body fortifications when they returned.

Happy had actually managed to see through that secret at first glance. He then took the initiative to use his Golden Bell Cocoon to withstand the four boomerangs that had been just sent flying by the parting hooks, and he parried the boomerangs that contained the most damage. He completely dismantled Silver Wolf’s methods.

“Isn’t it too soon for you to admit defeat? You mentioned three rounds of attacks. We aren’t done just yet.”

Happy stood where he was with a smile.

Silver Wolf shook his head with a wan smile. “There’s no need for us to continue fighting. You managed to see through the boomerang formation. You also managed to see through the greatest secret and weakness of the boomerangs, so there’s no need for us to continue fighting.”

He paused for a moment before he sighed deeply with a well of emotions in his heart. “There’s no need for us to even try close-quarters combat. Those two techniques of yours are bound to make sure that you’re invincible in close-quarters combat. At the very least, there’s no one who can compare to you right now. Even if we continue fighting, it’ll be a waste of time.”

“Brother Silver Wolf, you praise me too much.”

Happy placed his fist in his palm while feeling slightly ashamed. In truth, most of the judgments he had made just then had been inspired by Silver Wolf.

“I had thought that you would only be able to stand proudly at the top of the game for at most half a year, but by the looks of it now, even if other strong people appear, you will still be able to stand at the top and not fall. You will forever have a place of your own in this game!”

Happy was stunned by Silver Wolf’s words, because he seemed to be talking specifically about some people. His gaze beneath the incomplete silver mask also seemed to have become profound and mysterious.
