Chapter 338: Break the Formation!

Fighting the Silver Fox was one of Happy’s greatest wishes from his past life, as well as a regret that remained unfulfilled. This time, with the Silver Fox coming to him willingly, how could Happy not cherish this opportunity?
Yet, as soon as the fight began, Happy was deeply shocked by the Silver Fox’s tactics and calculations…
The Farewell Hook! The Boomerang!
Happy immediately realized that the techniques used by the Silver Fox didn’t belong to any known type of hidden weapon. Relying solely on his mastery of boomerangs, along with his extraordinary control over timing and precision in launching them, he had reached a level of calmness that bordered on absurdity.
For an ordinary person, maintaining the spin rate of a boomerang with the Farewell Hook was already extremely difficult. Yet this guy could make the boomerang move back and forth to threaten his enemies along predetermined paths, and perform multiple such actions in such a short time—it was beyond the term “absurd.”
Caught off guard, Happy quickly realized he was already surrounded by the boomerangs!
Worried about those boomerangs with their astonishing spin rates, Happy chose not to rely on the Golden Bell Shield to withstand them… because his intuition told him that these boomerangs, with their incredible frequency and speed, were likely not as simple as ordinary hidden weapons.
Dragon Form!!
His body twisted…
At the last moment before the six boomerangs intersected and converged, he “walked” out from between them like a ghost.
Snatch! Snatch!
The Silver Fox had expected it wouldn’t be that easy to defeat Happy. Unperturbed, he moved his Farewell Hook back and forth, causing two of the returning boomerangs to pierce the ground ahead in an orderly row.
The other two were re-launched immediately to the left and right the moment they made contact, this time at even greater speed, still targeting Happy’s figure.
The sound they made as they sliced through the air was barely audible, yet their speed was terrifying. If Happy hadn’t been vigilant when the boomerangs touched the Farewell Hook, he might not have been able to dodge their counterattack at all!
Whoosh whoosh!
Moving half a meter to avoid the two boomerangs, he heard the familiar sound of air being cut behind him—those were the fifth and sixth boomerangs… As expected, it never ended…
Happy felt extremely frustrated and at a disadvantage!
Although he had been prepared for a tough fight from the start, the Silver Fox’s long-range boomerang tactics left him feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope.
It was the first time he had been forced into Dragon Form right from the start against a player… and it was also the first time he had been in a purely defensive stance.
Silver Fox!
Truly worthy of being a master who once led a trend in creating his own martial arts…

Avoiding four waves of attacks in a row, Happy knew he was still far from reaching the three rounds mentioned by Silver Fox. Three rounds meant holding out for three cycles, with all twelve boomerangs thrown simultaneously. Happy doubted whether Silver Fox could make those twelve boomerangs spin continuously without pause, but even the cross-attack of eight boomerangs was already overwhelming for him. The constant use of the Little Dragon Form and Illusion Demon Technique rapidly depleted his internal energy; if this continued, his energy would soon be exhausted… Waiting for Silver Fox’s subsequent boomerangs was nothing but waiting to die. Gritting his teeth, at the moment of movement, the Golden Bell Shield activated with a roar! A golden giant bell emerged, forming like a metallic shield just in time as two boomerangs passed by… Ding!! Whoosh!! The trajectories of the two boomerangs were disrupted. “Brilliant!” Silver Fox’s eyes lit up. He knew better than anyone the power of boomerangs. Through years of practice, the high-frequency vibration of his boomerangs was no less powerful than bullets. Influenced by armor-piercing bullets, their tips were extremely sharp, capable of piercing two inches deep into metal plates! Given the high level of fantasy in this world, this self-created hidden weapon technique was rated as an elite mysterious weapon art. After multiple Class A evaluations, it had long reached the level of a master, possessing the amazing ability to instantly break through top-tier protective barriers. If Happy had recklessly used the Golden Bell Shield to confront them head-on, the outcome would have been certain destruction of the shield followed by being pierced by the second boomerang! Happy’s caution and extreme control skills saved him from disaster. Yet instead of becoming disheartened, Silver Fox swung HookWind in circles before suddenly bending down and sweeping, causing the four boomerangs on the ground to fly up in front of him. A series of crisp clanging sounds followed as the four boomerangs shot toward Happy at once… The wind tore at the fallen leaves nearby, while the six boomerangs returning from behind simultaneously blocked several directions, attacking the golden figure from all angles! But at that moment, Happy did something that left Silver Fox stunned… He suddenly turned! With incredible speed, several sword lights merged together, perfectly deflecting the six boomerangs in one swift motion; however, the Golden Bell Shield was hit by the four boomerangs head-on! “Dang dang dang dang…” With a clear ringing sound, the boomerangs fell to the ground around Happy. Thud!

Although all the boomerangs were blocked, the Golden Bell Shield was greatly weakened, but the lethal power of the Grandmaster-level boomerangs couldn’t be completely neutralized. Happy’s face turned red as blood spewed from his mouth, after which he let out a long sigh: “Truly formidable! Haha…” Despite suffering internal injuries, Happy showed no trace of anger—only relief and joy from facing a strong opponent.

On the other side, Silver Fox stood frozen for a long time. After a while, a bitter smile appeared on his face beneath the silver mask: “I lost!” He hadn’t expected Happy to uncover the secret of the boomerangs so quickly. Boomerangs had a first-layer and a second-layer of lethality; without sufficient spin speed, they couldn’t break through protective barriers—only those that returned could do so. Happy had instantly grasped the mechanism and used the Golden Bell Shield to withstand four boomerangs launched by the Separation Hook, knocking aside the most lethal ones—thus fully analyzing Silver Fox’s tactics.

“Is it too early to admit defeat? Your three-phase attack isn’t over yet.” Happy stood there, smiling.

Silver Fox shook his head with a bitter smile: “What’s the point of continuing? Your boomerang formation has been broken, and you’ve seen through its greatest secrets and weaknesses. There’s no need to fight any longer…” He paused, then sighed deeply: “As for close combat, it’s even more impossible. With those two moves of yours, you’re invincible in close combat—at least for now, no one can match you. Continuing would just be a waste of time.”

“Brother Silver Fox, you flatter me…” Happy replied with a bow, though he felt somewhat guilty. In truth, much of his insight came from Silver Fox’s guidance.

“I thought Brother Happy could only dominate the martial world for half a year at most. But it seems even if those people show up, you’ll still stand firm… You’ll always have your place in this world!” Silver Fox’s insinuating words left Happy stunned, and the gaze beneath his damaged silver mask seemed to grow deeper and more mysterious.
