Chapter 66: The Two Principles of Yin and Yang
This was probably the longest match Happy had endured in this martial arts tournament. To outsiders, it seemed that Happy, unarmed, was completely outmatched by the thug who relied on his long weapon, with no chance to defend himself. Yet no one knew that this was merely an illusion created by Happy.
The thug’s Arhat Shovel technique was skillful, but it still fell far short of being seamless and effortless, let alone reaching a truly masterful level. Although he had reached master status on the surface, a true understanding of the art couldn’t be acquired in just a month or two. Even Happy wouldn’t claim to master all lower-level martial arts, nor would he say his skills surpassed those of all other players!
The moment one foot stepped onto the edge of the arena, instead of trying to turn the situation around, Happy spread his arms and leaped upward, as if ready to jump off the arena…
“A great opportunity!”
Bu Shuolang’s eyes lit up suddenly, his face filled with ecstasy. Without hesitation, he swung his bronze shovel violently, spinning it like a windfire wheel. Combined with Happy’s leap, it created the illusion that Happy was being forced off the arena by him!
Everyone has vanity.
Though Bu Shuolang already held the upper hand, every strike missed, which was extremely frustrating. Moreover, if he forced Happy off the arena like this, how would others view him in the future? Failing to land a single strike would surely lead people to accuse him of winning by relying on his weapon, a dishonorable victory.
But if his final strike could seriously injure Happy, the outcome would be different.
Yet…
Just as everyone thought Happy was done for, Yu Chazhe suddenly let out a soft exclamation. To his astonishment, Happy, who had leaped upward and seemed unable to gain momentum in midair, miraculously twisted his body, as if there was some invisible object in the air for him to step on, allowing him to turn around. Not only did he avoid the deadly blow from the bronze shovel, but he also took advantage of the moment when the shovel couldn’t be retracted after the full-force strike, stepping forward and returning to the arena like a wild goose.
His movements were exquisitely precise, his demeanor calm and unrivaled—elegant and extraordinary!
“Brilliant!”
Dressed in colorful robes, Yu Chazhe felt as if he had returned from hell to heaven, filled with ecstasy. At the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of loss and awe…
His sudden leap had been nothing short of divine, dazzling and unbelievable.
Not Being a Rascal turned around in a hurry, only to see Happy standing calmly in front of him. He didn’t take advantage of the opening behind him to pursue; instead, he stood there proudly, his masked face displaying its usual calm and focused gaze. Everything that had just happened seemed to leave him completely unshaken.
“I lost.”
The hand holding the bronze shovel tightened and loosened repeatedly before, with a sigh, Not Being a Rascal lowered his head and admitted defeat, ending the third round of the match.
“Your mercy,” Happy replied politely with a bow, though his gaze shifted from Rascal to the last opponent in Group A.
Tyrannosaurus!
The latter regained his mobility after Rascal returned to his position and appeared across the arena with a serious expression. In the previous fight, although Happy hadn’t shown off his fighting skills, his extraordinary lightness of movement had alerted him. Rascal, who had been in the lead, immediately admitted defeat, proving Happy’s strength and making it clear he couldn’t be underestimated.
Moreover…
The outcome of this fight would determine whether Happy would become the first person in Group A to win all four matches and qualify for the championship!
“Please!”
Facing Tyrannosaurus, Happy also showed a hint of seriousness.
Not only was the latter strong, but like “Little Butt Wiggler,” he also possessed a secret technique. In a pure skill-based confrontation, Happy wasn’t afraid of anyone, but when it came to secret techniques, it was better to be cautious—against a particularly powerful one, the outcome could be uncertain.
After the system declared the fight to begin, neither of them moved…
They faced each other, adopting the same defensive stance, focusing intently, unwilling to take the initiative to attack!
The atmosphere hung tense for three seconds before Happy quickly realized that the opponent must have understood he couldn’t surpass him in skills or movement, so he adopted a defensive posture to lure Happy into attacking, thereby closing the distance to create the best opportunity to use his “trump card.”
Smart.
Frowning, Happy glanced at another arena not far away, where Orochimaru and Yitong were engaged in a fierce battle—this was now the third round as well.
Quick resolution!
He reached into his Qiankun Bag.
A cold glint appeared!
Before anyone could see what was happening, “Tyrannosaurus,” one of Nanhua University’s dark horses, collapsed to the ground clutching his chest. The system announced that Happy had won four consecutive matches, taking first place in Group A and qualifying for the championship.
Yu Chaya, Feng Wu Caiyi, and Not Being a Rascal all gasped in shock, looking at each other in disbelief!
“…”
“What just happened…?”
“…I was going to ask you the same thing!!”
“What happened?”
In that brief moment, the three of them really saw nothing; they only noticed that Happy made a completely unremarkable gesture before the battle ended…
Probably only the revived Tyrannosaurus knew the full details, but instead of showing any anger or despair, his eyes were filled with extreme fanaticism and joy as he stared at Happy, who was now free to move below the arena, along with a barely perceptible sense of admiration.
Flying knives…
Tyrannosaurus was filled with excitement!
Before the fight, he only knew that the masked swordsman had superb sword skills and could kill an opponent in just three moves. Later, he learned that the opponent’s boxing had master-level prowess, and in the fight against the thug, the swordsman had shown exquisite lightness of movement. Just now, it was master-level flying knives—something he couldn’t even defend against head-on…
The “Jianghu” world truly held too many mysteries waiting for him to uncover! It was ridiculous that he had thought having that “secret technique” would make him invincible at Nanhua University!
“Happy… I remember you. I’ll come for you again!”
Tyrannosaurus gazed at that blue figure with an unusually determined expression.
Having won first place in Group A, Happy stopped paying attention to the arena and quickly left, heading over to Group B’s area.
Yitong and Orochimaru were in the midst of a fierce battle.
Yitong’s horizontal combat skills were truly remarkable; his iron armor protected his body so well that even Orochimaru, who usually used twin swords to slaughter enemies, couldn’t deal any significant damage with ordinary attacks.
However, Orochimaru moved nimbly, striking in and retreating at just the right moments. Although Yitong was protected by his iron armor, he couldn’t keep up with Orochimaru’s pace. He took repeated blows but couldn’t harm Orochimaru in the slightest—whose strength was superior was obvious.
As he watched, Happy suddenly showed a hint of confusion.
Orochimaru’s sword techniques were very strange, resembling the Kunlun Sect’s introductory sword style, “Two Elements Sword Technique,” but there were differences between the moves… It looked similar but wasn’t identical. In his memory, the Two Elements Sword Technique wasn’t this sharp.
Despite his low rank, Orochimaru’s agility and physical foundation seemed greatly improved, and the lethality of each move was astonishing—almost capable of breaking through Yitong’s iron armor, which was already at near-master level.
After watching for nearly half a minute, confusion appeared on Happy’s face, which gradually turned into utter shock!
Orochimaru wasn’t using the “Two Elements Sword Technique”! It was…
Reverse Two Elements!!
The supreme martial art of the Kunlun Sect—“Reverse Two Elements Sword Technique”!!
