Chapter 1127: Inability to Inherit, and the Bonus

“Happy Boss! I… I want to join Jinxiu Heshan!”
After saying these words at the table, Xiao Bei suddenly felt the silence return around him. Swallowing hard, he immediately sensed countless pairs of eyes fixed on him, and the little courage he had mustered due to the alcohol vanished instantly.
However, Happy’s reply made him forget all the stares and tension:
“Join Jinxiu Heshan? Sure, welcome.”
“…”
Everyone around him was speechless again, their gazes at Xiao Bei filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
They had thought Happy would at least deliver some grand speech or warning, but he agreed so easily… Moreover, this kid was likely the first disciple to join Jinxiu Heshan through Happy’s help.
What luck!
Watching Xiao Bei excitedly examine the gang emblem on his chest, many present became eager too!
It had to be said—this was a great opportunity to join Jinxiu Heshan…
If someone like Xiao Bei, with limited experience in the martial world, could join, then they too had a chance and might even gain Happy’s favor.
“Young Brother Happy.”
Just as everyone was excited and ready to act, someone suddenly spoke, silencing many people’s thoughts.
All eyes turned to Song Que and Ning Daoqi, who had been ignored until now.
In the Song Clan, only these two elders could be called “Young Brother Happy.”
“Clan Leader.”
Happy felt a stir in his heart and turned to face Song Que. He knew:
The main event had arrived!
He had been puzzled for a long time as he completed the task without any reward notification from the system. Now, hearing Song Que speak, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—only to become alert once more.
Inside the mansion, others also paid close attention.
From Song Que’s solemn expression, they could tell he had something to say.
…
“Young Brother Happy,” Song Que said seriously, “If it weren’t for your help, and if Brother Ning hadn’t shown up, we would never have been able to repel the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan.”
“Hehe, Brother Song, don’t flatter me. I never even lifted a hand from start to finish,” Ning Daoqi said with a smile, disclaiming any role for himself.
Song Que smiled calmly:

“Originally, upon meeting a young man as talented as you, Song really wanted to impart all his knowledge to you… But Song can tell that you must have inherited the teachings from some great master of Shaolin, practicing the ‘Yijin Jing’ and ‘Xisui Jing’. Am I wrong, young man?”
“…”
Kai Xin was stunned.
Was this reward related to him inheriting Shaolin martial arts?
Though puzzled, he showed no trace of it on his face and nodded, “The sect leader sees through everything.”
“Song is merely someone who has stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Way. Compared to your esteemed master, I am far behind, so naturally, I don’t have anything to pass on…” Everyone immediately understood—the masters at the level of unity with heaven also had to consider their choices when passing on their teachings, as they couldn’t give their knowledge to disciples of other Heavenly Way masters at the same time.
“…”
Mei Ying, Lin Xiao, and the others all showed signs of interest.
So Kai Xin had inherited the teachings from a peerless master at the level of unity with heaven!
The teachings of Tian Dao Song Que were already very attractive to them, but now Song Que said he couldn’t pass them on to Kai Xin. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and they wanted to know whether it was good or bad news for Kai Xin—after all, the system would surely provide compensation at the same level.
Sure enough!
Song Que continued, “So, Ning and I discussed it just now. Since you are from Shaolin, your character is beyond doubt, and your strength is great. You don’t need Song’s teachings to add anything more. Therefore… Young man Kai Xin, you can help Song choose a successor to inherit his teachings!”
Kai Xin had already prepared himself for other rewards…
Hearing Song Que’s proposal, he could no longer maintain his expression and showed shock:
“M-me to appoint someone?”
“That’s right.”
Song Que said calmly, “With your strength, I believe ordinary fame, wealth, and possessions are trivial. The only thing Song has to offer is the ‘Tian Dao Eight Techniques’. What do you think?”
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell around.
Mei Ying, Lin Xiao, and the others finally realized what kind of opportunity Kai Xin had encountered…
Although he couldn’t inherit the teachings himself, Kai Xin got the chance to appoint someone to inherit the teachings of a master at the level of unity with heaven. This was, in effect, giving him a chance to create a top-tier master—the ‘Tian Dao Eight Techniques’ of a Heavenly Way master must be an extremely advanced and unparalleled martial arts secret.
Mei Ying was deeply moved!
Even someone as bold as Lin Xiao couldn’t help but feel emotional and gasp.

Happy sighed inwardly. Although he had missed the chance to improve his own strength this time, he could still create a top-notch expert for Jinxiu Heshan—if the quota was used properly.
“This is Song’s jade tablet. Brother Happy is extremely generous; please don’t refuse. Just have that person bring this jade tablet to me, and Song will impart all his knowledge without reservation.”
As soon as Song Que finished speaking, everyone’s gaze snapped to the jade pendant in Happy’s hand, which exuded a strong sense of swordmanship.
Closing his palm!
Happy shook off his surprise and looked at the jade tablet in his hand, feeling both joy and regret. He was glad that he could pass on his skills, something unprecedented in the martial world. Surely, because of his mission, the system wouldn’t impose any difficulties—those who held the jade tablet could successfully inherit Song Que’s skills. Yet he regretted that his strength seemed to have grown too rapidly, leaving him without any substantial rewards in this mission.
As he pondered, Shadow beside him couldn’t hold back and sent a message:
“Brother Happy.”
“Hmm?”
Happy’s heart stirred as he raised his eyes in response.
“If you don’t have a suitable candidate right now, Shadow is willing to buy it at a high price.” Although Shadow’s martial skills were also excellent, he was somewhat eager for the skills of a master at the level of unity with heaven. After all, both the Evil King and Happy’s skills belonged to the same tier of inheritance. “Of course, if you already have a candidate or have other plans, just treat this as if Shadow never said anything.”
Shadow was quite cautious in his words. After all, it was Happy’s possession, and showing eagerness right after obtaining it might seem unwise.
“Sorry,” Happy declined Shadow’s offer, replying via message, “Jinxiu Heshan isn’t stable yet, and its gang resources aren’t abundant. This jade tablet comes at just the right time…”
“Brother Happy, don’t worry. Then just treat this as if Shadow never said anything.” Though he said that, disappointment still flashed in Shadow’s eyes.
…
“I never expected that helping Song Que defeat the Evil King would reward me with the skills of a heaven-tier master…” The players inside the mansion also realized this, and the martial artists at the entrance and on the walls held their breath, staring intently at the jade tablet in Happy’s hand.
Everyone knew that with this jade tablet, there was a high chance of achieving greatness like that of Happy, the Emperor, or the Evil Emperor, becoming a world-renowned powerhouse!
The allure of the jade tablet was unimaginable. Even Xiao Bei, who was thrilled to join Jinxiu Heshan, stared at the jade tablet in Happy’s hand, not daring to breathe, his eyes almost popping out.

“Too bad…”
At the adjacent table, Silver Fox shook his head in sighs: If he had known the reward would be so high, he would have risked his life to give it a try.
The legacy of a master at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!
If only he could inherit it…
A slight upward curve appeared at the corners of Silver Fox’s mouth, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, but it vanished quickly, replaced by admiration and envy.
“Valley Lord, I wonder if this jade tablet remains valid at any time?” Just then, Happy’s voice rang out: “I mean, there shouldn’t be an expiration date, right?”
“Happy brother, you’re joking. My word is final. As long as Song isn’t dead, anyone who holds the jade tablet and approaches Song’s Valley becomes my successor, anytime!”
With Song Que’s assurance, the people in the mansion grew even more excited…
This meant Happy now had a clear path to becoming a top master!
“I wonder who will be lucky enough to get it.”
Looking at the jade tablet in Happy’s hand, Lei Zhan sighed slightly.
“Yes.”
The others discussed eagerly:
“Whoever gets the jade tablet will inherit the legacy of Heavenly Blade Song Que. The Eight Techniques of Heavenly Blade are unparalleled martial arts that can even counter the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan!”
“You might not know what happened at the cliff back then… Tsk tsk… That was all thanks to Heavenly Blade Song Que. Inheriting his legacy means ascending to greatness in one step!”
“Happy can’t inherit the legacy of another master at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. He must be frustrated now. But I guess the most likely candidate is Ji Feng, the deputy head of Splendid Rivers and Mountains…”
Hearing the discussions around him, Silver Fox couldn’t help but show scorn. His look at Daozi and the others was unmistakable: Is Ji Feng even worthy?
“I heard Happy used to be from the Colorful Robes Sect… He still assigns some of their old members to serve in the southern branch. It might be someone from that sect.”
“Whoever it is, Splendid Rivers and Mountains will surely produce a top master in half a year—a warrior whose strength can rival even an emperor or Happy.”
“Congratulations, Happy Sect Master! Splendid Rivers and Mountains will soon gain another formidable warrior!”
As everyone was discussing the jade tablet, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his cup and cheered loudly!
Only then did the people in the mansion realize what was happening, and they gradually raised their cups as well: “Congratulations, Happy Sect Master!”
“Congratulations…”

“Thank you all!” Xing Kai didn’t hesitate. After drinking the wine in his cup to the bottom, he set it down and his gaze returned to the jade tablet. “It’s a pity I can’t inherit the legacy of both of these powerful Heavenly Dao masters at the same time. But never mind. This jade tablet will serve as a lucky token for the competition to determine the best disciple among us in half a month…”
With those words, everyone in the mansion was shocked!
Yin Hu, who had already prepared to sit down and put down his cup, froze mid-motion!
