583 Successor of Sword Classic

It was as expected of Wan Wan, the successor of Empress Yin. When she practiced Great Sky Demon Art with her pure yin constitution and perfected the art, her skills with the art were even stronger than those of Empress Yin. When she activated Great Sky Demon Art, her actions could charm all those who saw her, and she radiated temptation, causing others to want to turn into moths that went flying to a flame and died under her bare feet.

But unfortunately for Wan Wan, Nine Yang Divine Skill was a fierce divine qi cultivation technique that had extreme yang properties. It could counter a part of Great Sky Demon Art's effects and stop illusions from appearing before Happy's eyes, allowing him to retain a clear conscience while he fought against her.

Happy shut his eyes and flicked his fingers quickly to execute Joined Finger without caring about the usage of his qi!

Wan Wan was unafraid of Joined Finger. Once she brought out Great Sky Demon Art's aura, her enemies' actions were all within her control, and she could easily avoid their attacks!

But as time passed, she noticed that Great Sky Demon Art, which had allowed her to benefit in every fight, was unable to make the man in front of her reveal even the slightest weakness, regardless of whether it was his heart's defenses or his physical defenses. He retained a clear mind and fought back against the chaotic illusions. When it came to both forms of defenses, he displayed the level-headedness and strength that only grandmasters of their generation would have.

Wan Wan frowned and snorted clearly and coldly with a tone that implied slight indignation. "Sir, you truly are skilled. Take this Sky Demon Frantic Dance…"

Another three illusions split from her body. Then, nine Wan Wans raised their fair arms, and while they swayed in a gentle, boneless, and charming fashion, they surrounded Happy like birds dancing in the sky.

Happy's expression turned solemn. He unfurled his hand and straightened it. Then, with a clear dragon roar, he pushed forward. His attack had a force that tore through the air, and a powerful dragon-shaped vortex swiftly enveloped his hands. With the extra force provided by Wind Spirit Spin, the dragon-shaped vortex went charging at the alluring bodies that came drifting toward Happy.

Once Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm reached Grandmaster Realm, with the effect of Wind Spirit Spin, Happy's attacks could make the area around him howl. He attacked with both palms, and eight of the nine Wan Wans that came drifting toward him were instantly torn by the powerful qi flow.

The last remaining one drew close to Happy like a willow. Her fair fingers shot through the dragon-shaped vortex like lightning and seized his arm.

Wan Wan might have already known about the attacks, but Happy could change them very quickly. He formed his hands into the shape of claws and exchanged a blow with Wan Wan without backing down.

Slap!

Dragon Capture swiftly went up against Wan Wan's palm.

The two people were sent flying dozens of feet back as if they had been struck by lightning, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

"What technique did you use just now?"

Wan Wan finally stopped attacking. The claw attack just then made her feel slightly uneasy. She had been certain that she would be able to kill Happy, but not only had he perfectly negated her attack, he even nearly had been able to control her.

As for Happy, he stared at his own hand in disbelief…

The third move!

When he saw Wan Wan attack him, he had executed Dragon Capture practically without even thinking, but for the first time, he noticed that Dragon Capture also accumulated Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm's profound secret.

His momentum increased by leaps and bounds.

This astonishing discovery made Happy's emotions surge for the first time since he engaged in the fight. He could not stop himself and extracted himself from the battlefield, choosing not to attack again.

When Happy heard Wan Wan question him in surprise, he did not answer. Instead, he lowered his head and sensed the boiling blood in his body. He also heard the system's notification, and a rarely seen confidence born from the certainty of winning appeared on his face.

"Again!"

His lips curled up faintly, and he looked up in a prideful manner before taking up the posture for fighting.

At that moment, even if Wan Wan was a slow-witted person, she would have known that Happy had gained some sort of breakthrough and epiphany. She rolled her eyes at him angrily and turned her charming body to the side.

"Since you have such an interest in fighting, I will naturally fight against you… but I have matters to attend to tonight. Why don't you come to my camp so that I can accompany you for the entire night?"

"If it's Extreme Yin Lake, we can forget it." Happy smiled wanly.

When Wan Wan heard that, she seemed to be incredibly disappointed, and she shot a bitter look at Happy before she tapped against the ground lightly like an elf to jump to the top of the tree. Her feet shone with an incredibly charming and graceful light under the gentle moonlight, and her voice came traveling from a distance.

"I knew that you weren't sincere toward me, so leave now.

"But I have to give you a word of warning. Do not get close to Extreme Yin Lake. My martial aunts and mistress are there, and if you run into them, you will not be able to escape so easily."

Wan Wan chuckled in a barely audible matter in a way that sounded like bell chimes before she left.

"The strongest of the outstanding disciples in the holy order… what a woman."

Happy wiped off the cold sweat on his brow. If his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and Ten True Dragon Styles had not accidentally fused together just then and Wan Wan hadn't sensed the ingenuity and profundity in them, he might not have been able to make Wan Wan leave so easily.

That might be a reason for joy, but what caused Happy to feel gloomy was that the fusion between the two had just been a coincidence, and it did not mean that he could bring it out in the future as he liked. Dragon Capture had to coincide with the profound secret in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and reach a resonance that was born from them being from the same origin for it to be a good thing.

If Happy wanted to bring out the effect from earlier, he needed to gain a perception of the fusion, as well as some good luck.

But despite it all, it was still good news. At least it allowed Happy to sense the possibility of the two techniques complementing each other and getting stronger!

The fight had also allowed Happy to understand that while Joined Finger was strong, it did not pose a great threat to those who were rather strong in Inaction Realm, especially those who had very sensitive spiritual senses. It was very difficult for him to surprise them.

One Emperor should belong to that group of people.

Happy thought about it for a while before he gathered his thoughts and clarity returned to his eyes.

'My main goal today is to find Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass and save Great Hero Song as well as the others. This is of utmost importance. I can set the other things aside for now. Saving people is more important.'

When Happy thought of that, he thought of exploring Extreme Yin Lake again!

Even though Wan Wan warned him before she left, it was not Happy's style to retreat because he was intimidated by someone's words.

Whoosh!

He quickly went into the darkness of the forest.

When Happy approached Extreme Yin Lake, he intentionally increased his guard and slowly drew closer while he searched for spots that might have Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass.

But he was out of luck. While he walked over, he did not notice anything that might be similar to the Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass Physician Wang had mentioned.

Happy did not give up though and continued searching.

Physician Wang mentioned that the herb grew in a place that was extremely cold and humid. The closer Happy got to the Extreme Yin Lake, the more likely it became that he would find what he was looking for!

If worse came to worst, all he needed to do was fight against the elites from Yin Weed Faction.

Happy searched slowly.

When he reached the point where he could see Extreme Yin Lake, he suddenly noticed that the area had become noisy. Dozens of evil cult disciples rushed to the lakeside with torches and surrounded a woman in white who stood on the ripples on the lake.

Despite facing a large group of evil cult elites, she appeared incredibly calm. She tapped her longsword against the surface of the lake, and a layer of ripples appeared. With a clear and pleasant voice, she broke the silence of the lake.

"I am the successor of Kind Boathouse's Sword Classic, and Shi Feixuan is my name. Please ask Empress Yin to come and see me."
