When Happy sat among one hundred students and listened to the sound of them reading out loud, he felt as if he had left the world of martial artists. The atmosphere was incredibly calm and peaceful.
He held a book in his left hand while sitting among the students in his blue robe. He flipped through it quietly and read the lines while noting some things down with his right hand. He never stopped, as if he had used some sort of hack. His written lines were neat but wild, and his words quickly covered the white sheet of paper.
The developers of the game had not created a programme that would make the players practice their calligraphy in the game. Hence, as long as the players paid attention and read the words, they would naturally write the words on the paper instead of having to do it themselves.
It was a very quick way to obtain Comprehension points, since it was much faster than practicing and pushing a martial art to Grandmaster Realm. Hence, the players sometimes needed to stay patient and spend time reading and writing.
For the sake of fairness, even if a player paid a lot of money to increase their Comprehension, they would need to read the books before their Comprehension would increase. The system only helped them write down the words.


Ding!
There was a clear sound of the notification from the system.

Successfully learned the Three Character Classic. Comprehension +1.

The first book swiftly vanished from Happy’s hand.
Hey did not find it strange and picked up another book from the table, flipped open the first page, and began reading it out loud.
Books like the Three Character Classic contained the easiest and most concise academic knowledge. The time required to read through them once was also the shortest. The others would require at least half an hour while some even up to two hours! Hence, reading and writing became the main theme of Happy’s life that day.
He did not go to classes in reality, but instead came to the game to read and write. Many people would find it hilarious and strange.

The Osprey sings on the small island in the river. A kind and beautiful girl is the ideal partner for a boy.

Since Happy had experience from his previous life, he could easily read aloud many of the sentences, and he did so with great ease. He finished reading and writing the entire book in one go and looked like one of the NPC students who served as a background beside him.
Happy did not notice that the players further away had already become dumbstruck.


They could be considered as old timers in the private school, and when they were free, they would come there to chat. However, they had only met a handful of people who came to the school to study. Most would just quickly glance at the books and would run away after they saw the exorbitant prices. Sometimes, a rich person would drop by and read Three Characters Classics, but they would be defeated by the prices after that too.
None of them were like Happy.
He had a pile of stupidly expensive books in front of him while he waved his brush and wrote at a moderate pace. He looked as if he wanted to spend all his money in the school.
But even if he wanted to spend his money, he needed to actually have it first.
The six people were completely intimidated by Happy’s presence and bearing! They held their breaths and did not even dare to breathe loudly while whispering into each other’s ears to try and guess his identity.

He bought around ten of them… That’s at least five hundred thousand, maybe six hundred thousand taels of silver.


If we convert it to RMB, that’s tens of thousands. This brat sure is willing to spend his money. Isn’t it better to just buy a few high-tier martial art manuals if he’s so rich? What’s the point of pushing his Comprehension so high now?


Who knows? Besides, how would you know if he doesn’t have any high-tier martial arts? Judging by his bearing, he doesn’t treat money as anything. Tsk, tsk, when can I also be like him?


The likes of you? You waste your life when you have nothing to do! If I have to say, you can forget about it in this life, that is, unless there is an inflation!


Shut your trap.



While the group chatted, it gradually lost its interest in the stranger who continued to read without looking at anyone. The six bent over their tables and continued to spend their time in boredom.
Throughout it all, Happy never stopped. He was completely immersed in reading and writing, and the books on his table vanished one after another.
Sometimes, he would log out, but when he logged in, he would return to the private school and pick up a book without any hesitation. He continued reading out loud and writing from where he had stopped. During that period of time, the people who had been stationed in the private school to keep watch had been switched a few times.
Ding!
When the system notified Happy that he had obtained another Comprehension point, he heard the sound of footsteps, and a person walked into the private school. The change in the lighting made Happy instinctively cast a glance at the entrance.
It was a man with an incomplete silvery-white mask. He only had half his face in the open while standing not far away from Happy. His footsteps were steady, and he had one hand pressed against his sword. He gave off a noble and aggressive feeling! His presence was that of a military man.
He had a cold expression on his face while he stood at the entrance of the private school. He swept through the school with a scrutinizing glance, and soon, he noticed Happy, because he was really eye catching in his blue robes while he sat among a sea of white-robed scholars.
Happy did not give off the presence of a wandering martial artist when in his blue robes. He held a book in his hand while he read out loud. Since he had been doing it for a long time, his gaze had become calm, and his presence was one of indifference. He created the image of a scholar who stood aloof to the rest of the world, and the books before him gave him an unfathomable air.
Their gazes met in the air, and their expressions changed. Two different presences clashed. One of them was tough, while the other was gentle. However, when the two gazes met, unimaginable sparks flew.
The man with the silver mask had a tough and fierce presence, a cold and indifferent temperament, and his gaze was sharp. He looked like a saber that had been drawn from its scabbard. He made other people feel as if the air had frozen.


The six players in the private school were completely intimidated. They held their breaths and looked at each other at a loss.
Happy was the exact opposite.
Even though he had the calm look of a scholar, when he faced the silver-masked man, he did not seem to have noticed the aggressive presence that made the newcomer seem like a mountain. He was like a vast and calm ocean that had no waves. While he sat, he made the silver-masked man feel as if the aggressive presence he gave off struck nothing. He felt slightly awkward and unhappy.
His gaze darkened.
‘A powerful enemy!’
He nodded quietly to show his respect. The silver-masked man then searched for a spot, placed his sword on the ground, and sat down. His posture made him look like a general who had just returned to the imperial court.
While he stared at the person’s back, ripples slowly appeared in Happy’s heart. The memories that were buried in the depths of his mind gradually became clear when he examined the familiar incomplete silver-white mask.
‘It’s him!’
He was a legendary player who was rumored to be a retired military man. He had created a military martial art himself and killed a high-ranking player who had a high-tier martial art at the seventh realm. It was an event which had shocked the entire World of Martial Arts.
The man’s name was Silver Wolf.


Happy remembered that Silver Wolf had become famous very early on and stirred up the tide of players creating their own martial arts. Even he was affected by many of Silver Wolf’s battle replays. From them, he gradually came to understand that martial arts counteracted each other. It was a pity, however, that before long, Silver Wolf completely disappeared from World of Martial Arts.
Silver Wolf did not return after Happy rose to power. He seemed to have retreated from the World of Martial Arts because of some events in reality. It made Happy feel incredibly regretful, because he longed to have his skills advance after facing such a tough opponent!
He did not expect that they would have the chance to meet again under such circumstances.
Silver seemed to have noticed Happy’s attentive gaze. He turned around while sitting in the front with the hidden part of his face toward Happy. The holes where his eyes were shone with a profound light. There was a hint of wariness and puzzlement in the man’s eyes.
Happy smiled to show good will. Then, he redirected his gaze to the book in his hands.
It was best if he did not interfere with the events that had nothing to do with him.
Silver Wolf might be destined to only be a passerby who would appear briefly in his life.
Speaking of which, he only needed three more Comprehension points to reach the requirements to practice Seven Stars Sword. It was a high-tier sword technique in Mystical Realm, and it would be his first high-tier sword technique.
