Chapter 868 - Eight Skills From the Well

Chapter 868: Eight Skills From the Well
Even Happy himself did not expect that during the instant Kuo Zhong entered the state required for Moon in Well, his Nine Yang Divine Skill will quickly see through the circulation of Kuo Zhong’ true qi, and Happy had also coincidentally entered the domain Kuo Zhong created using Moon in Well, which allowed him to automatically understand the Moon in Well Kuo Zhong spent years in creating.
The system notification appeared.

Ding!

Understood Moon in Well Domain. Comprehension +1.

Under the effects of Moon in Well Domain, your fighting prowess will increase by 10%.

‘This is good stuff!’
During battle, if a person’s fighting prowess increased by 10%, that was the same as it increasing by a whole realm!
Happy was delighted. At that moment, he replicated Moon in Well Domain without hesitation and entered the state where he was supposed to. His heart was as calm as still water, and his entire mind became at peace. It was as if the entire area around him was illuminated by a bright moon, and it was all reflected in his head. Every change within a circular area of 164 feet was revealed to him, but it cannot affect his state of mind at all.
The system notification arrived.

Ding!

Successfully replicated the first style of Eight Skills from the Well—Zero Offense!

Boom!
Even though their domains did not clash into each other, their Zero Offense began accumulating strength at the same time, and they also found the skill that will target the opponent’s weakness. As Happy took a step to break the calm between them, the calm lakes in their hearts were instantly disturbed.
They clashed into each other without any flourish.
The divine weapon Moon in Well clashed against the Dragon Saber that landed in Happy’s hands.
Clang!
As a loud sound rose, both people were sent reeling back.
Kuo Zhong only managed to stop moving after he took three huge steps backward. The light from his Moon in Well was as bright as ever. The light shone brilliantly, and after surprise flashed in his eyes, he shouted,
Amazing! Let’s continue!

Burning fighting spirit raged in his eyes.
Since Happy used Nine Yang Divine Skill to imitate Eight Skills from the Well, he had to change his weapon and brought out Dragon Saber, which he had never used before.
Coincidentally, he used the fighting spirit in Dragon Saber and Kuo Zhong’s Eight Skills from the Well to fight on equal grounds with Kuo Zhong.
He had managed to imitate the first style, Zero Offense!
But Kuo Zhong’s saber momentum changed during the second style.

Take my second attack, Strike at Brilliance!

A loud roar deafening to the ears rose, and it spread to several miles in the distance.
The saber glare came straight at Happy.
Happy felt as if he saw two Kuo Zhongs, one in the light and the other in the dark. Each of them held a Moon in Well, and the sharp offense came cutting down at his head.
‘Strike at Brilliance. It seems like two attacks, and one of them is shown clearly while the other is hidden in the dark.
‘Even though my eyes can tell which one is Kuo Zhong’s real body, regardless of which attack I parry, I will end up falling into the trap, and I will be hurt by the real Kuo Zhong.’
Happy saw this attack in his previous life. It utilized the concept of illusion and reality coexisting, which was something used in military strategies.
There was falsehood in the real attack, and the fake attack could also be real.
He can only choose to hide this sort of attack!
Petite Dragon!
At the same time he used Petite Dragon to avoid the fierce attack, Happy did not remain idle and copied the second style in Kuo Zhong’s Eight Skills from the Moon. Since he had already learned Moon in Well Domain through a strange combination of circumstances, he might as well just steal the entire set of Eight Skills from the Moon.

Ding!

Successfully imitated the second style from Eight Skills from the Moon, Strike at Brilliance!

When Happy avoided Kuo Zhong’s second attack, he was immediately met with Kuo Zhong’s third attack, which was even fiercer and had an even greater momentum.

Third attack, End of War!

At that moment, Happy had the misconception that he was now in a warzone. When he faced Kuo Zhong’s golden saber coming at his head with an indomitable spirit, he felt as if there were ten thousand horses charging at him, and it felt like it had the momentum of a war capable of deciding who the universe belonged to with just that one battle alone! His mind was nearly immersed in that atmosphere!
‘Just in luck, I have Dragon Saber, and I’m lacking a saber technique…’
He imitated the skill on the spot!

Take this attack as well!
he shouted, and a silver moon with an astonishing glare cut to Kuo Zhong with the momentum of a tidal wave.
Boom!
A loud sound tore at the air. They instantly crushed countless golden and silver glares between them.
This time, Kuo Zhong seized the initiative and gained the upper hand, which meant that he was not affected by the remaining force.
But Happy’s body fortification was strong, and he also had Petite Dragon with him. That bit of remaining force still could not affect him. He tapped against the ground and took the first attack this time. With one Strike at Brilliance, he turned into two figures, where one of them was real, and the other fake. With two Dragon Sabers, he launched two great offenses and cut at Kuo Zhong.
Dragon Saber itself also contained a fierce saber will, and with the shocking damage from the Eight Skills from the Well he copied from Kuo Zhong, his momentum was great, and he actually looked like he was an attack that contained the power from a Myth Realm martial artist attacking at full force.
Even Kuo Zhong became serious and solemn about this.

Nine Yang Divine Skill, what a technique. Let’s see how you can manage to learn this move.

Strategy!

Before he can finish speaking, Happy felt light shine before his eyes, and Kuo Zhong’s body was cut into three parts under his saber.

Perfect timing!

Since Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill, he naturally knew what had just happened.
Kuo Zhong used an afterimage to avoid Strike at Brilliance, and he used the powerful reflection of light from Moon in Well to serve as a counterattack. It was just as they said, the battlefield was basically a warzone.
He took one diagonal step before he used the momentum to swing his Dragon Saber upward with an icepick grip. In his haste, Happy naturally used the one skill he had mastered in his previous life.
ROAR!
Unexpectedly, this attack was a stroke of good luck that could let Happy gain an idea of how to use his Dragon Saber. It coincidentally stimulated the saber will from Dragon Saber. A crazed and primitive dragon roar rose from it, and when Dragon Saber cut upward, it negated Kuo Zhong’s attack. With one loud bang, both of them were sent retreating twenty-two and twenty-six feet away respectively.

What a powerful saber technique!
Kuo Zhong’s eyes lit up.
Right when he was about to say something else, he found that Happy did not stop moving.
As of that moment, Happy had already forced Kuo Zhong to use four of his eight moves in Eight Skills from the Well.
Zero Offense! Strike at Brilliance! End of War! Strategy!
He must force Kuo Zhong to use the remaining four moves, or else, after today, he might not be able to get such a good chance in the future.
He did not wait for Kuo Zhong to speak, Happy seized the chance to attack, and with one Strategy, he increased his speed quickly, leaving behind an afterimage on the plains, and he appeared behind Kuo Zhong.

Perfect timing!

Since he was in Moon in Well’s domain, all that happened around him did not escape from Kuo Zhong’s gaze and ears as well. He quickly swung his saber.
Moon in Well drew a fierce shadow that traveled in a circle and tore at the air!
Circumference!
Dragon Saber was just in time to cut fiercely into Moon in Well.
The force that traveled from Moon in Well was much stronger than before.
Happy felt a weight on his chest. He was sent flying outward, and when he landed on the ground, he quickly activated Shifting Stars to negate the force in him, which was how he managed to stop himself from coughing up blood.
At that moment, Kuo Zhong had already treated Happy as a powerful enemy at the same level. He did not stop even for a single moment and vanished from the spot.

Quick Battle!
With a cold saber glare that tore at the air and brought with a fierce howl, the saber traveled at a frightening speed and charged straight in front of Happy.
Quick Battle was a quick attack that had the greatest possibility of catching others off guard. Its damage was just as extraordinary, but…
A spark burned in Happy’s eyes as well.
Dragon Saber howled as it turned in the air. It was like a live dragon coiling around itself, and it was struck by the attack Kuo Zhong delivered at him.
Boom!
Both separated again.
Then, they clashed sabers once more.
This time, Happy did what he previously did and activated Quick Battle, forcing Kuo Zhong to turn around and move so that he can jump into the air. The saber momentum was horrifying, and it brought with it the presence of war descending on the entire world, or specifically, at Happy, attempting to secure victory from loss.
Chess Battle!
Not a single spark flew from the exchange.
Because Happy drew back his attack before he managed to land it. If he did, he will end up losing half his life.
When he retreated, Kuo Zhong’s plan of gaining victory from defeat naturally fell empty. He laughed long and hard.
Very well! You managed to get through seven moves! Take my final attack!

He saw Kuo Zhong swing his Moon in Well, and a golden moon with a somber and mysterious presence rose from Kuo Zhong’s body.
Happy’s mind was instantly captured by the golden moon.
This was the final attack from Eight Skills from the Well, Soldier Deception!
