Chapter 989: 400 Points of Arm Strength

It’s been a month.
A month has passed, yet Chen Kaixin still hasn’t shown up. On the contrary, Happy has been constantly traveling back and forth between the two alternate worlds over the past month, doing his best to gather information from both realms. Using the many insights from the world five years ahead, he provided various kinds of information to the other world, helping people like Silver Fox, Xiao Bei, Lei Zhan, the Three Lonely Wolves, Feng Wu Cai Yi, and even Xu Xin and Xu Yao to grow rapidly in that world.

In the Central Plains, the Mu Family, Xiyi Gate, Xifeng Tower, and Fengyu Alliance now rule supreme. Although members of the Wild Wolf Organization tried several times to invade and infiltrate the Central Plains secretly, aside from the Yipin Hall in the northwest, there’s no place left for them in the entire region.

During this time…
Silver Fox and the others have quietly reached the Liberation Realm. The era of the Liberation Realm arrived unnoticed in this world as Happy continued his back-and-forth travels.

The Yipin Hall has taken root in the Western Regions. Meanwhile, the four alliances of the Mu Family have established more branches, spreading throughout every city in the Central Plains!

Although it required a significant amount of funding, the networks formed by these four alliances covered all movements of the various forces in the Central Plains.

Happy has gradually adapted to his current life…
Living without Chen Kaixin and constantly traveling between the two worlds.

However, since Happy in the other world still needs further development, the people here can only continue leading a ascetic lifestyle.

Of course, as his level in the “Immortal Body” technique rises, even without any equipment, prisoners at the Wuwei Realm can hardly cause real harm to Happy, who possesses the “Jiuyang Divine Skill,” “Yijin Jing,” and “Immortal Body.” The progression rates of the latter two martial arts are much slower now.

By chance, that day Silver Fox brought Wind Chime over to visit and eat free…

“Silver Fox, do me a favor these next couple of days,” Happy said during the meal. “My training progress has been slowing down lately. I want you to bring a few brothers from the Jinyiwei to capture some high-ranking criminals at the peak of the Wuwei Realm.”

“Peak Wuwei Realm? No problem, as long as they’re not at the Mythical Realm level,” Silver Fox replied with a smile. Then he turned to Wind Chime and said, “Actually, Wind Chime’s strength has recovered quite a bit now. Even if it’s a master at the early stages of the Mythical Realm, along with Xiao Bei and the others, capturing them and locking them up in our gang’s prison shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Okay, I’ll remember that,” Happy said seriously, leaving Silver Fox and Wind Chime stunned.

“Happy, you’re not serious, are you?”

“Catching someone in the early stages of the Mythical Realm? Big Brother Silver Fox is just bluffing.”
“I’m not bluffing,” Silver Fox said, not taking his eyes off the road.
“But…” Wind Bell looked at Happy strangely, with a hint of concern, “Big Brother Happy, you’ve been cultivating in the gang’s prison for over a month. Your progress isn’t slow, but it’s still slower than ours outside. Now, many people outside are wondering if something happened to you.”
“Ignore the rumors outside.”
Happy knew well that his refusal to leave had already made the Wild Wolf Organization restless. After all, due to Happy’s exposure, the Wild Wolf Organization no longer had a place to operate and could only wreak havoc in some already backward and weak countries—but they still dreamed of returning to that life of absolute control.
“You guys continue cultivating your own. Once I really start cultivating, my speed won’t be slower than yours.” Happy knew that once the Era of Liberation arrived, Ghostly Evil and the Myriad Beasts Villa would open soon, and it would be easy to catch up with them then.
“I’ve remembered about the strong ones in the early stages of the Mythical Realm. It won’t be long before you might really need to deal with them. If that’s not possible, at least gather information on the locations of those strong Mythical Realm fighters for me.”
While Happy was talking to Silver Fox, Xu Yao and Xu Xin had remained mostly silent. It was then that Xu Xin suddenly spoke up:
“As for strong Mythical Realm fighters, I do know a few…”
“Hm?”
“The four great villains in Evil Men Valley still haven’t been eliminated, and the bandits around it are all at the Era of Liberation or the Era of Non-Action… No one has ever penetrated the Inner Garden of the Flower Transplanting Palace, but there are rumors that Yao Yue’s strength is around the middle stage of the Mythical Realm. There’s also Ren Wu Xing from Black Wood Cliff, a major villain. If you want to take shortcuts and boost your strength quickly by relying on Mythical Realm experts, these should be good choices.”
After saying that, Xu Xin continued to eat her rice with her head down.
Compared to her cold attitude a month ago, Xu Xin’s current behavior made Happy feel much more at ease. Although the rift between time and space seemed to have created an almost irreparable gap between the two of them, from the fact that Xu Xin had gathered this information, Happy could tell she still cared deeply about him and wanted to help in every possible way.
“Thank you.”
“…”
Silver Fox and Wind Bell looked at Happy and Xu Xin in surprise, realizing that the atmosphere between the young couple was somewhat strange.
“I’ll try my best to gather information on those strong Mythical Realm fighters for you. But lately, Ren Jie has been drawing a lot of attention.”

“I heard about it. He killed a master at the early Mythical Realm stage and has now ranked among the top ten on the Global Heroes List. They’re also preparing to make space for him on the Global Eccentrics List.” Kai Xin nodded happily and smiled, “This kid has done well.” He was quite proud of Ren Jie’s efforts and achievements. After all, it was he who had discovered this kid, and now that Ren Jie had brought order to the North, it saved him a lot of worry. “There’s one more thing, Ren Jie. It seems that some high-ranking figures have recently been approached by mysterious organizations, most of which are related to the First-Class Hall and the Wild Wolves Organization…” “I know! The Wild Wolves Organization is ambitious. After suffering such a big setback, they definitely won’t give up easily and will take further action. You just need to maintain stability in the Central Plains and within the Mu Family. Deal with problems as they arise.” Kai Xin spoke these words with confidence because at present, he was truly a global powerhouse, the leader of the largest gang in the Central Plains and even one of the world’s largest alliance groups, while the Wild Wolves were still an organization that hadn’t fully matured. After dinner, back in the game, Kai Xin started practicing the “Immortal Body” and “Meridian Transformation Art” as usual, but his thoughts were elsewhere. … A month passed. During this month, Kai Xin didn’t leave the Ghostly Realm. He practiced hard during the day and used the “Demonic Infant Poisonous Insects” in the realm to elevate the two newly acquired lightness skills to the ultimate level, increasing his internal energy by over a hundred points! Additionally, he also raised another set of skills, the “Silla Sword Technique,” to the ultimate level alongside the “Demonic Hong World-Destroying Art”! The “Immortal Body” reached the tenth level, and the “Meridian Transformation Art” also reached the tenth level, with his internal energy increasing by more than 150 points. Currently, Kai Xin’s stats had reached astonishing levels, as if soaring like a rocket: Bone Strength 487; Arm Strength 399; Movement Skill 386; Comprehension 377; Internal Energy 1049. His internal energy had already surpassed 1,000 points, and he was only about 200 points short of the 1,280 points required to reach the Wuwei Realm. “It’s almost time.” After killing another Demon Infant Poisonous Insect and his arm strength reaching 399 points, Kai Xin finally let out a sigh of relief. Standing in the small valley, he exhaled deeply. Arm Strength 399 points! He was just one point short of the 400 points needed for the Dark Iron Heavy Sword. Now, his bone strength, movement skill, and comprehension all far exceeded the standard levels—only that final bit of arm strength was missing!

As long as the last bit of arm strength is compensated for, he can switch weapons and truly use the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, that divine weapon with unknown attributes.
“…”
To make this day possible, Kai Xin practiced two more sets of lightness techniques from the Liberation Realm and one set of swordsmanship. His innate aptitude soared to a level unattainable by many martial arts masters in the world—487 points!
“Kai Xin?”
Seeing Kai Xin suddenly stop, Yu Long from the Hunter Clan quickly approached, glancing back and forth between the Poisonous Infant Monster and Kai Xin. “There isn’t much time left until dawn. Won’t you hunt another one?”
“No.”
Kai Xin took a deep breath and smiled. “After a month of seclusion, I’ve done everything I needed to.”
“Is your arm strength enough?!”
Yu Long quickly understood and his eyes lit up with surprise.
Other members of the Hunter Clan also gathered excitedly. “Can you now wield the Dark Iron Heavy Sword?”
“It’s still 399 points.”
Kai Xin paused before explaining, “But it’s almost there. It’s already late, and even if we hunt another Poisonous Infant Monster, it won’t help us break through 400 points. Instead of waiting another day, it’s better to reach 400 points in arm strength now.”
As he spoke, Kai Xin took out a small green-purple bottle with a glimmering glass-like light from his Qi Bag, under the puzzled gazes of his clan members.
“A Primordial Holy Medicine!!”
Everyone gasped, their eyes shining with excitement.
Kai Xin nodded smilingly. “When I destroyed the Heavenly Demon Altar, besides a large amount of supplies, I accidentally found a bottle of Primordial Holy Medicine that boosts all attributes by 1 point each.”
“One point for all attributes?”
Yu Long’s expression changed again.
Everyone showed envy.
Primordial Holy Medicine was now worth far more than the Life and Death Dream Pills in the martial arts world, reaching hundreds of millions in price. Those that could boost all attributes by one point were worth billions, and it was rare to see even one on the market.
Seeing this bottle, the Hunter Clan members were both excited and heartbroken. It was so expensive!
But thinking that Kai Xin could soon equip the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, those complicated emotions vanished instantly. Everyone watched him anxiously.
Kai Xin didn’t make them wait any longer. After drinking the Primordial Holy Medicine, a warm current spread through his body. Without hesitation, he took out the dark heavy sword that had lain unused for over a month from his Qi Bag.
The Dark Iron Heavy Sword!
Previously, due to his insufficient innate attributes, Kai Xin always felt as if he was holding something extremely heavy and burdensome whenever he picked it up.
But this time was different!

The black iron greatsword fell into his hands as if it came to life; a grayish glow quickly covered the entire sword, and an endless supply of power flowed into his body.
“This is…”
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
