Chapter 390: Extreme Training

Over the past half month, very few people have entered the Royal Tomb!
Now, those who enter the Royal Tomb are none from Hongwu City—they are all outsiders, and none of them possess exceptional skills. This is because the people of Hongwu City and the masters on the Dragon and Phoenix List know that the resources in the Royal Tomb are now almost entirely under Kai Xin’s control. Even if someone enters, they won’t be able to gain much from him.
During this time, some reckless and overconfident martial artists have tried to compete with Kai Xin for resources.
But everyone in the Royal Tomb knows that “Number One among Masters,” who could single-handedly wipe out a First-Class Hall branch, is not someone with a gentle temper.
Kai Xin accidentally trapped a few pests within his Wind Spirit Spin attack range. Without hesitation, he shattered their defenses with a single sword, followed by another strike that ended their lives. He acted mercilessly, not even glancing back after finishing.
From then on!
The people of Hongwu City regarded the Royal Tomb as a forbidden area!
The masters on the Dragon and Phoenix List also refused to waste time traveling thousands of miles to fight over a few remaining resources, risking angering Kai Xin.
With fewer people around, Kai Xin enjoyed a leisurely life. Whenever there were few visitors, he let those who clearly came to try their luck enter the Royal Tomb first…
Or after they entered, he ignored the flying knives in the hall and stayed quietly, allowing the Knife Ninjas to kill the martial artists. He would watch from the side until most of them died, then calmly clean up the mess.
Occasionally, if a master entered and showed some intent to compete for resources, Kai Xin wouldn’t engage in a full-scale fight. Instead, after they reached the second floor, he would personally bring the King of Ninjas over, say hello, and leave. The victim would then be left to face the menacing Boss at the Liberation Realm…
In this way, later on, almost no one could reach the second floor of the Royal Tomb.
Kai Xin boldly continued his leveling plan.
This peaceful life was finally disrupted by the appearance of a new master at the Life and Death Realm who had made it onto the Dragon List.
This person also revealed the secret behind Kai Xin’s long absence from the Royal Tomb!
…
Training!
Apart from acquiring most of the famous weapons and resources in the Royal Tomb, after eliminating most of the ninjas there, Kai Xin kept the King of Ninjas and numerous ninjas in the second-floor hall, using a very common high-level defensive technique called “Rotating Circular Barrier” to withstand the attacks from the King of Ninjas and the group of Knife Ninjas.
The attacks were relentless!
The Knife Ninjas’ flying knives filled the hall, while shadow clones attacked up close.

The protective aura absorbs most of the effective damage in a short time, causing experience to increase rapidly. While enduring all this, two men clad in golden armor—one wielding a sword and the other punching—moved back and forth through the hall. The attacks from the Ninja King were equivalent to those from eight enemies at the Life and Death Realm level; with so many ninjas around, the experience gain rate was three to four times that of the outside world. The masters of the Life and Death Realm were utterly stunned the moment they entered the royal tomb hall! Seeing so many ninjas there, ignoring the warnings, they rushed in excitedly, aiming to earn more resources and acquire valuable weapons… But just as they defeated two ninjas, a sword energy, like a meteor from the sky, emerged from between the ninjas and pierced through their bodies: “Leave, or die!” That cold voice finally made these proud masters of the Life and Death Realm realize the strength rumored to be unmatched among experts. Wounded and struggling, they trudged out of the hall and left the royal tomb. However, the REP posted afterward caused quite a stir on the official forum. Many experienced masters shared their opinions: “The Extreme Training Method!” “It seems Happy is also striving to reach the Life and Death Realm.” “Nonsense. As First-Class Hall grows stronger, if Happy doesn’t work harder, the Mu Family will also perish.” “To be honest, the attacks from the royal tomb ninjas are quite good, and with their large numbers, it’s indeed a great training ground. But few in the martial world can train in such an environment…” “The attributes maintained by golden armor are some of the best for training—they keep our attack speed high, accelerate weapon improvement, and enhance sword skills. Happy has a huge advantage in equipment!” “Now that everyone’s realm has improved, high-level combat assessments won’t appear easily. Happy must have seen this, which is why he came up with this method to train three martial arts at once… Two active and one passive. As for the active ones, with Happy’s weapons and equipment, his speed isn’t slower than ours… But the top-tier protective aura is truly amazing… If he can maintain it, his leveling speed will be astonishing. Although the second top-tier protective aura isn’t very useful, its ability to convert internal energy is incredible! Reaching 320 points of internal energy quickly is Happy’s goal!” Many people expressed envy at Happy’s advantages, as just training with the top-tier protective aura already exceeded what ordinary people could achieve by three times! While the official forum was in an uproar, First-Class Hall also became tense.

“Happy is practicing a lower-tier sword technique! I heard that the Murong family has a task from the Hundred Schools of Martial Arts, which is to inherit the legendary skill ‘Dou Zuan Xing Yi’. Reaching the tenth level should suffice; if he works fast, it’s not a problem to master one skill per day. If Happy completes this task and gains a second peerless martial skill, it will be very difficult for anyone to hold him back!”
It was Xue Yi, the deputy head of the First-Class Hall, who spoke.
Meng Yun and Huang Sha didn’t look pleased:
They were well aware of the power of peerless martial skills.
With the help of the guild, all three of them had acquired different peerless martial skills.
Happy already possessed a mysterious peerless martial skill, and it was precisely because of this that he had never lost in one-on-one fights, firmly ranking first among the renowned fighters. If he gained another one, especially a legendary skill like ‘Dou Zuan Xing Yi’ that could control the situation in chaotic battles, it would definitely cause trouble.
“Hall Master… If I’m not mistaken, Happy’s ‘Rotating Circular Barrier’ is already nearly perfect. He must have started practicing it from ‘that day’. Once it reaches perfection, it will be time for him to enter the Life and Death Realm.”
Ye Gudu, the leader of the Fragrance Sect, warned cautiously.
If Happy merely obtained powerful weapons by exploring the royal tombs as usual, the First-Class Hall would be optimistic. But if he hadn’t stopped practicing, it wouldn’t be what they wanted to see.
Meng Yun nodded:
“That’s already confirmed. Happy’s internal energy has reached 315… He’ll enter the Life and Death Realm in a few days…”
“The Murong family’s development is also much faster than we expected,” Huang Sha finally spoke up. “That guy, Lei Zhan, is indeed a talent. Despite his rough appearance and reckless expansion of his occupations, his forging skills have developed much more steadily than ours, avoiding many detours. Now, he’s constantly exchanging mid-tier weapons of the second grade for first-tier weapons, and second-tier weapons of the second grade for first-tier ones. His business is booming.”
“That wasn’t Lei Zhan’s idea.”
Xue Yi suddenly interrupted Huang Sha, paused for a moment, and then explained gravely:
“It was Happy who proposed it. In fact, he brought it up at the Colorful Robes Sect a month ago. It was only after the Colorful Robes Sect was destroyed that the Murong family had the strength to implement it… This kid not only has amazing gaming talent but is also skilled at finding opportunities in the martial world and seizing them. He’s a formidable opponent. Meng Yun, I think it’s time to send that person into the royal tombs. We can’t let him continue developing like this—it’s not in everyone’s interest.”
Hearing Xue Yi’s suggestion, everyone became alert and turned their gaze toward Meng Yun…

The decision to destroy Caiyi Gate was also made because of this person’s appearance, which made them think they could have someone to hold back Happy.
“No!”
Meng Yun’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and with a smile, she shook her head slowly: “It’s not the right time yet. According to him, he just discovered an interesting place a few days ago and won’t be leaving for some time.”
