Chapter 19 (2/2)

“You’re teaching so quickly, how can I memorize it word for word!”

“Okay, I’ll tell you again. Listen carefully… Memorize it!”

“Firstly… Secondly… Thirdly, jeez, why did you hit me again? I didn’t memorize it wrongly!”

“Ah, sorry, I’m too used to it. Continue… Why are you staring at me? Are you unhappy?”

“No, old man, I’m… I’m admiring you. Yes, can’t you tell that I’m admiring you?”

“Stop flattering me, memorize it again.”

Around ten steps outside the workshop, Chen Yifan and Liu Zhengye looked at each other. After a long time, Chen Yifan shook his head. “Forget it, let’s not disturb them.”

He had a bright smile on his face because the pair was quite interesting. As such, he began to have higher expectations.

Liu Zhengye hesitated for a while before he said, “General, if they continue, the smithing of your armament might be affected…”

Chen Yifan waved his hand and grinned. “If it’s going to be later, so be it, I can wait. Hehe, I’m really curious how the young fella will turn out to be.”

As the days pa.s.sed by, Ou Yangming kept learning.

From morning till night, he followed Chen Yifan’s instruction and practiced the martial-art squat.

Yes, Chen Yifan did not teach him anything else. Chen Yifan told him to continue practicing the martial-art squat. It was not only to train his patience but also to build an extremely solid foundation.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was not idle during other times.

Under Old Craftsman’s supervision, he practiced controlling the Military Fire. According to the old man, it was not enough to be naturally gifted. He had to go through hards.h.i.+ps to be worthy of such talent.

Hence, other than training and refining his strength, he was also strictly supervised by Old Craftsman.

The tough training caused Ou Yangming’s acc.u.mulated Qi and blood to be consumed very quickly, and, after a few days, he could no longer bear it.

It was then that Sui Hezhi brought him a wild beast, a wild pig that weighed 700 kilograms. Even though it was also a pig, one could tell from its ferocious tusks that, compared to a domestic pig, there was a great difference in combat power.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming was delighted. He cut off one of its legs to share it with Old Craftsman, while the rest of its flesh was transformed into Qi and blood using the devouring attribute.

Afterward, Ou Yangming found that the Qi and blood contained in the wild beast was far above a domestic pig’s.

The wild pig with only three legs gave him Qi and blood so abundant that they were much more than what he gained from the three domestic pigs combined. With that, his problem was solved.

Following that, Sui Hezhi gave him huge wild beasts every ten days, which was enough for him to maintain rich Qi and blood.

A month later, not only had Ou Yangming’s Dantian Light become stable, but he had also grown stronger.

That being said, comparatively, his control over the Military Fire was what had truly improved.

One day, after getting Old Craftsman’s permission, he finally began smithing his first-ever Attribute Armament.

As his Military Fire burned, a featured iron ingot was shaped into a military saber. This did not mean that Ou Yangming only knew how to forge military sabers, it was simply what he was most familiar with. In order to increase his success rate, it was best to forge a military saber.

Once the saber was about to take its form, Ou Yangming reached for a Power Stone, then attached it to the saber.

Next, his Military Fire became fiery, engulfing both the military saber and the Power Stone.

At the same time, words that he had been longing to see appeared in his mind.

[Drawable composition found, draw?]

‘Draw!’

[Upgradable composition found, upgrade?]

‘Upgrade!’

Finally, his Military Fire stopped burning, and a brand new military saber was produced.
