Chapter 395 Body Technique Attribute
Ou Yangming immediately spotted Deng Xiyuan and Li Xinfan after he left the smithing workshop.
The two officials dared not barge into the smithing workshop, but they dared not stay too far away too. Therefore, they replaced the protectors and guarded the secret room with Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan.
In actuality, they knew it was not a great office to let Her Royal Highness and Ou Yangming being in the same room together. If His Majesty was aware of this, they would certainly be in trouble. Nonetheless, they knew this was probably what the princess had been yearning for. If they dared to disturb the two of them, she would definitely take her revenge on them.
One was far away while the other was near within reach, so the men knew how to choose.
They looked at each other seeing as the door was still shut. None of them said a word, but they were all anxious.
At last, when the door was opened with a loud bam, the four men instantly turned to look.
Ou Yangming rushed out like the wind, but Her Highness was nowhere to be seen.
The four men were shocked. They went up to greet the young fellow right away and subtly blocked his way.
“Brother Ou, you failed?” Woo Lejia asked in confusion.
“Since it was me who did it, of course, it was a success!” Ou Yangming responded snappily.
Ou Yangming felt like a free bird once he left the secret room, where he was alone with the princess. He no longer felt like he was restrained.
Woo Lejia sighed a breath of relief because he naturally knew the importance of Her Royal Highness's personal weapon. “If you succeeded, why are you in such a hurry…” Woo Lejia frowned and asked.
Who knew, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud cough.
“Lil' Friend Ou, many people are still waiting for magic tools from you.” Li Xinfan laughed and got out of Ou Yangming's way, then he added after a pause, “We're on a tight schedule since we don't know when the spirit beast will attack again, so please make the best use of your time.”
“General Li, don't worry.” Ou Yangming nodded and cupped his hands, then he left in haste.
“What are you doing, General Li?” Woo Lejia later questioned because he found it strange.
Li Xinfan turned to look and asked in a lowered voice, “Didn't you notice his clothes?”
“What about his clothes?” Woo Lejia became even more curious.
“There are wrinkles on it, and they're new,” Deng Xiyuan noted in an even softer voice.
Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan were stunned. The meaning behind the looks in their eyes was clear to every man.
Needless to say, though they were well aware, they did not have the guts to say it out loud.
A graceful figure was seen as Wu Hanning left the secret room too. She glanced at the people and uttered, “Let's go back.”
“Yes,” Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan responded, then they intentionally but covertly looked at a certain spot on Her Highness's body. Although they were not daring enough to stare at Wu Hanning, n.o.body would notice if they just stole a quick glance. Nevertheless, a quick glance was all it took for the men to gasp at the same time.
There was naturally a condensation of water vapor when Ou Yangming's body slowly became frozen. As such, when Wu Hanning used her body's heat to resolve the chillness, there were creases on the parts of their clothes where their bodies touched. The lines were not obvious, but the four sharp-eyed men spotted them at once.
After sending off Wu Hanning, the prefecture's highest administrator and military boss exchanged glances without saying a word.
They only saw the fact but did not know what exactly happened between Wu Hanning and Ou Yangming in the secret room, hence they imagined all sorts of scenarios.
By the time Ou Yangming returned to the Ni residence, sure enough, numerous people had been waiting for a long time.
There were more than 100 Supreme Great Ancestors including the local great ancestors. Most of them were rather undecided about Ou Yangming's suggestion, because skills similar to the Indestructible Defense and the Stone Awl Penetration were important inheritances in their clans, after all. If they were to reveal those skills like that, they might not be able to explain to the other clan members.
Despite that, some people liked to take risks. Besides, they understood that given the spirit beast was eyeing them, even if Ou Yangming could constantly smith magic tools, n.o.body could guarantee how long their temporary peace could last. The early bird would get the worm, thus if the powerhouses wanted to ensure that they would gain a suitable magic tool, it would be best to agree with Ou Yangming's suggestion as soon as possible.
He Xinfang was the first to go to Ou Yangming's door.
The Supreme Great Ancestor told the young fellow about his greatest ability without any hesitation.
Though He Xinfang did not have a spiritual cultivation base in actual fact, every martial art skill that could be inherited for generations in an aristocratic family could be turned into formidable offensive or defensive skills.
The He family's inheritance was close to 1,000 years, so they did not lack top-notch martial art skills.
Body technique!
It was the He family's greatest lost art, such that anyone who performed it could move unpredictably like a ghost.
Ou Yangming was deeply troubled after he heard about the ability. How could he incorporate a body technique in a piece of equipment?
It seemed like a huge test for him.
The young fellow was struck with an idea after he pondered for a long time. It seemed like a good choice for him to attempt it no matter the outcome.
With that, he asked for precious half-spirit beast fur.
unu
A half-spirit beast was closest to the peak among all ferocious beasts. Their furs were unusually precious, and normal people might not even have the chance to stumble upon them at all. Even so, it had become a common item to Ou Yangming.
When the servant returned with the fur, Ou Yangming could not help but furrow his eyebrows.
The fur was a part of what was retrieved from the Earthly Dragon Beasts. There were not many of them, but it was clear from the beasts' powers how valuable their furs were.
“Why did you bring an Earthly Dragon Beast's fur? Does the Ni family not have ordinary half-spirit beast fur?” Ou Yangming questioned.
The servant quickly explained, “Sir, please calm down. The great ancestors ordered everyone to provide you with the best supplies in the store no matter what you need. The Earthly Dragon Beasts' furs haven't been stored for long, but they're indeed the best supplies we have. If you're not happy with this, I'll immediately change it for you.”
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He was even more grateful to the Ni family's Three Great Ancestors.
He Xinfang appreciated the great ancestors' thought, but he secretly lamented too, 'Ah, the Ni family seized such a great opportunity.'
Ou Yangming waved his hand at the servant and said, “I'll use this then.”
He accepted the piece of fur and studied it carefully, then he retrieved some tools from his interspatial bag.
It was a set of tools meant for the production of boots. Back when he left Wu Hongxi's residence, the Fine Grade King had given it to him as a gift.
This was Ou Yangming's first time using the tools.
As the Military Fire burned, the piece of fur and some distinctive items were enveloped. While it seemed like the fire was burning uniformly on the items, the heat and force withstood by each item were entirely different.
This was a remarkable skill that Ou Yangming gained only after his mental power reached 99 points. Even if Wu Hongxi, the Fine Grade King, had come to carry out the same process, he could not be mentioned in the same breath with the young fellow. It took 15 minutes for a pair of boots to be formed.
Perhaps because some compositions of a peculiar stone were included in the boots, the equipment was a cream of the cream in Fine Grade.
Honestly, when the Military Fire burned, Ou Yangming felt like he was only a breath away from turning the boots into a magic tool.
However, boots were different from ordinary pieces of equipment, and Ou Yangming was not absolutely confident about turning them into a magic tool.
Ou Yangming wondered and reached out to place his hand on He Xinfang's shoulder. “Brother He, please perform your body technique.”
He Xinfang had been staring at Ou Yangming. He was fascinated when he watched the young fellow refine the boots as the process was so smooth.
Not only was Ou Yangming capable of smithing pieces of ordinary equipment, but he could also refine boots. He Xinfang felt that the young fellow was omniscient and omnipotent.
As soon as Ou Yangming spoke, He Xinfang curbed his thought and turned into a breeze as he went in circles in the room.
He Xinfang had boasted about what he could do, but his skill was genuine indeed. Ou Yangming supported himself on the great ancestor's body, but he was like a weightless paper as he was carried around.
It only took a brief moment for Ou Yangming to realize how wonderful He Xinfang's body technique was, and it was not at all inferior to the one he secretly learned. Furthermore, given that He Xinfang underwent a systematic learning for the body technique, which was also inherited, he handled some details with better consistency and accuracy. Ou Yangming was enlightened after he experienced the technique.
While He Xinfang went around the room performing his body technique, a queer power was somehow released from his body, and it became one with the world.
That said, Ou Yangming's Military Fire was surrounding He Xinfang, so the young fellow was able to pick up the power.
Following that, Ou Yangming's eyes lit up because he sensed through his Military Fire mysterious and unique energy surfacing from boots' inner surfaces. The young fellow was elated because he was only testing it out, but it actually worked.
“Brother He, keep it up and don't stop!”
He Xinfang was startled after he heard Ou Yangming's instruction. He did his best to perform his body technique, and he eventually became so fast that they turned into a stream of light as though they were flying. It was then when the boots acc.u.mulated energies so abundant that they finally began to transform into thin lines, which were imprinted on the boots.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed.
'Is this… Possible too?'
While he was immersed in joy, a strange thought crossed his mind.
'What exactly is this purple Military Fire's origin?'
