Chapter 592: The Results Of The Forecasts

After consuming a spiritual pill and resting for an hour while holding a spirit ore, Mount Liang Wolf King somewhat regained its vigor.

It looked resentfully at Ou Yangming and cursed, ‘If it isn’t because you promised to customize a piece of equipment for me, I wouldn’t work myself to the bone. I hope the equipment smithing will be successful this time, or…’

Mount Liang Wolf King’s claws and teeth trembled.

Nonetheless, it was hesitant for a brief moment when it looked at the new armor on its body.

Since Ou Yangming could smith pieces of equipment of such a level at a young age, what would he achieve when he grew up? No matter what, it would not be a wise choice for the spirit wolf to offend him at this time.

Mount Liang Wolf King sighed and got rid of the inappropriate idea. It released its other innate ability according to Ou Yangming’s request.

The Waterfall Attack!

It was a unique method of gathering waterfall-like waves for an attack.

In terms of power only, the Waterfall Attack was not on par with ice arrows and water blades at all. Even so, a waterfall was an attacking method that was not known for its mightiness, after all; it was a special skill that if released, could trap an enemy tightly.

In particular, if the attack was applied with Mount Liang Wolf King’s Illusion Body Technique and its forceful physical attack, any opponent would suffer a huge loss.

After sensing the Waterfall Attack’s real function, Ou Yangming could not help but lament. Sure enough, high-rank spirit beasts were unordinary and could not be compared by Fat Antelope, Big Yellow, and the others.

The young fellow could not help but have a sudden thought. ‘Since high-rank spirit beasts are so powerful, why didn’t the Insects send these powerhouses to the lower realm? If there were 3 high-rank spirit insects, I couldn’t have resisted them as potent as I am.’

He shook his head and buried the question deep inside his mind.

Although the Waterfall Attack was a remarkable method to assist an attack, it was inferior to the Illusion Body Technique.

Only when Mount Liang Wolf King was exhausted and stuck out its tongue to play dead, Ou Yangming managed to form the Skill Rune in his sea of consciousness.

In actuality, he was not able to do this fortuitously. He had customized pieces of equipment for different Supreme Great Ancestors in the lower realm but before he smithed, he had learned many secret techniques from them.

Some were inherited skills from the great ancestors’ families while some were their gifted abilities.

There were countless runes, which were also in dissimilar categories, but they shared a similarity; they were all Rudimentary Runes.

Having plenty of Rudimentary Runes as a foundation, Ou Yangming had the courage to gather Intermediate Runes in short periods.

Even though the Illusion Body Technique was notable, so much so that it was slightly related to the rule of how space changed, there was more than one body technique in the lower realm that had similar effects. As for the Waterfall Attack, it was a kind of Water-mastery Rune, and there were also many similar Rudimentary Runes in the lower realm.

If that was not the case, Ou Yangming could not have perceived the 2 Intermediate Runes that Mount Liang Wolf King was adept in so quickly.

At this moment, Ou Yangming could not be bothered about his weariness. He continued to make demonstrations in his sea of consciousness.

Every Rudimentary Rune that was matched with the 2 Intermediate Runes would produce different effects. Whenever an effect was shown, his Military Fire would flicker. The more intensely it flickered, the more effective the pairing.

After half an hour, Ou Yangming suddenly realized that his mental power was almost depleted.

He retrieved a pill to consume it, causing hints of energy to gush into his sea of consciousness, and it made him feel extremely pleased. The young fellow missed the little red bird very much because the fellow had once told him about a certain pill, which could quickly recover one’s mental power if it was successfully refined.

Ou Yangming initially planned to find an opportunity to refine the pill after he entered the Spiritual Realm, but he was powerless because there was no news about the little red bird.

While precious pills from the lower realm could compensate for some of his mental power, the effects were not evident for him.

Following that, Ou Yangming retrieved a spirit ore from his interspatial bag and imitated Mount Liang Wolf King by absorbing the ore’s power. Despite that, he soon realized that it was not too effective to merely draw power through this method.

Having said that, having a part of his power replenished was better than nothing.

As Ou Yangming’s mental power slowly recovered, he began to make forecasts in his sea of consciousness again.

Numerous changes took place in his sea of consciousness. Throughout the process, he kept revising the evolutions of the runes, allowing him to have better control over them.

His mental power was consumed, changed, and recovered. The same cycle was repeated for an unknown period.

Eventually, Ou Yangming vaguely felt that something was off. When he opened his eyes, he instantly noticed that Mount Liang Wolf King was guarding him sternly from a distance away. Seeing how serious and eager it was, the young fellow was rather curious.

Mount Liang Wolf King’s eyes lit up when it saw Ou Yangming relax. It made its way back to the young fellow and asked as it was surprised yet overjoyed, “Master Ou, are you done designing it?”

Ou Yangming was stunned. He chuckled and answered, “I’m almost done indeed but…” He continued after some thought, “I have 2 plans, and you can choose one of them.”

The spirit wolf immediately responded, “Please go ahead.”

Ou Yangming raised a finger and explained, “The first plan is simpler—I’ll attach a Skill Rune for the Illusion Body Technique or the Waterfall Attack on the new equipment that I’ll be smithing for you. In that case, there’ll be an overlay effect each time you release them.”

Mount Liang Wolf King’s eyes gleamed, but it later questioned with a frown, “Master Ou, how mighty will the skills be after the overlay effect?”

The young fellow could not help but laugh. “You asked the right person. Heh, in terms of mightiness, none of your innate skills are offensive skills, so they won’t be mighty at all. That said, their durations can be prolonged to twice their original durations.”

“Master Ou, if that’s the case, there’ll be a limited increase to my combat power, am I right?” Mount Liang Wolf King smiled bitterly.

Ou Yangming spread out his hands. “If your gifted abilities are offensive skills, your combat power will naturally increase if they’re overlayed. Who can you blame if this is how your natural gifts are?”

The spirit wolf looked helpless. It scratched its head and asked, “Master Ou, in your opinion…”

“There’s another option—I’ll attach a new Skill Rune on your piece of equipment. The skill, when matched with your innate ability, can unleash an enormous effect,” Ou Yangming noted. He glanced at the quiet Big Yellow and continued, “For instance, Big Yellow’s natural gift is the Stone Awl Attack, which matches your gifted ability quite well.”

Mount Liang Wolf King’s eyes glowed. If it released the Waterfall Attack, employed the Illusion Body Technique to interfere with its enemy’s vision, and unleashed the Stone Awl Attack, the 3 skills overlayed would general an incredibly significant effect.

Since Ou Yangming disclosed the plans, he would not keep anything a secret. “Nevertheless, Big Yellow’s Stone Awl Attack might be a good match, but it’s not the best option.” He casually revealed several unique skills, each one with its strengths. In terms of being a good fit, they were indeed better than the Stone Awl Attack.

However, they were all secret techniques with Rudimentary Runes, thus they could not be mentioned on equal terms with Big Yellow’s innate skill.

After all, Big Yellow was a legitimate spirit beast at the moment, and its gifted secret technique had also been upgraded.

Mount Liang Wolf King frowned as it was truly torn between the choices.

Every secret technique brought up by Ou Yangming was attractive but unfortunately, the suitable secret techniques only have Rudimentary Runes; the Stone Awl Attack was an intermediate skill, but it was not as good a match as the other skills. One could not have the best of both worlds; for the first time, Mount Liang Wolf King experienced this feeling strongly.

Ou Yangming urged the wolf king. “What’s your choice? Quickly make up your mind.”

It was very time-consuming to comprehend Mount Liang Wolf King’s innate secret techniques. Moreover, he had even analyzed and carried out virtual pairings for the skills, hence he ended up spending even more time.

Smithing a suitable piece of equipment did not require so much time. Ou Yangming’s target was to smith 10 pieces of equipment, so he did not want to waste any more time.

Mount Liang Wolf King gritted its teeth and finally said, “Master Ou, I’ve decided to go with Brother Big Yellow’s Stone Awl Attack.

Ou Yangming rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Mount Liang Wolf King is too short-sighted. I already told him clearly that this Rune Secret Technique isn’t the most fitting one.

‘In the end, it still chose the Intermediate Rune.’

He shook his head and went forward to touch Big Yellow’s head. “Big Yellow, let me try it.”

“Woof.” Big Yellow barked and released a forceful spiritual power at once, causing a stone awl to emerge from the ground.

The big yellow dog had tried hard to control the explosiveness, but the stone awl still rose high.

Mount Liang Wolf King’s eyelids flickered. “Master Ou, you’re…”

Ou Yangming answered without turning around, “Yes, what you did just now.”

The spirit wolf’s nose almost went out of joint due to anger. ‘Master Ou really isn’t reliable!’

For some reason, it was sorrowful because it realized that it was not as hopeful for its equipment anymore.

Nonetheless, the wolf king recalled that Ou Yangming seemed to have adopted this technique when he smithed the armor just now, thus it looked forward to it again.

While the spirit wolf was feeling anxious, Ou Yangming finally began to smith.
