Chapter 129 Post-battle Distribution

While panting heavily, Ou Yangming turned to look around him and confirmed that he and the big yellow dog were safe.

He let out a deep breath and looked at the dog next to him. It was actually sticking its tongue out to breathe hard, but he knew by looking at its bright and excited eyes that it was still in high spirits.

In actual fact, even the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors could only flee at the sight of ten thousand Black Magic Crawlers. Although the ancestors were great at killing, they did not have enough protection, so they might end up in a tragedy after being bitten once by the crawlers.

Ou Yangming was enlightened when he touched his equipment set, which was barely even scratched.

When the pieces of equipment were appraised by the Military Fire, though they were found to be at the peak of Fine Grade and had 20 Points of Toughness, Ou Yangming clearly felt that his smithing art could not fully unleash the ores’ potential.

There seemed to be an invisible gap above Fine Grade, which was incredibly difficult for anyone to break through. It was similar to martial arts cultivation, where some people would sense a bottleneck after a period of time. Without breaking through the bottleneck, one’s cultivation base would remain stagnant and could not progress further.

Ou Yangming had heard of the theory from Old Craftsman a long time ago, but he never thought that he would arrive at a bottleneck so quickly. He pondered quietly while touching his armor.

If a normal piece of equipment at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five had 20 Points of Toughness, could it resist the Black Magic Crawlers’ mouthparts like the armor did?

A roar was suddenly heard at that moment.

The big yellow dog had opened its mouth to the size of a sacrificial bowl, and it breathed out in a terrifying manner. In the distance, multiple stalagmites instantly emerged from the ground, each one holding a few dead Black Magic Crawlers at the tip.

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He felt that while the yellow dog had just breathed as it did before, the breath was much more powerful. It had improved in might and quality. The big yellow dog tilted its head and hesitated before breathing out again.

Another bunch of stalagmites towered. Instead

in one direction, they twisted and extended out as though they formed a beautiful yet b.l.o.o.d.y rose.

Ou Yangming widened his eyes. He could not believe that the big yellow dog was so valiant that it would perform tricks with its breathing. Of course, he understood that the dog was not fooling around out of boredom. It was tempering its gifted ability. The more the tricks it played, the mightier its breathing, If the big yellow dog encountered something similar to the Black Magic Crawlers’ king, perhaps it did not need to actively attack anymore because it could settle the issue simply by breathing out. The big yellow dog breathed twice in a row, then it quickly pierced its claw into the dead bodies around it as if it was exhausted. Consequently, the dog was in high spirits again.

“Roar…”

The third round of breathing commenced.

Ou Yangming shook his head and smiled bitterly. “The fella is actually taking the opportunity to practice its Breathing Skill.

‘But I must say it picked the best timing.’

Feeling slightly moved, Ou Yangming quickly became emotionless as his consciousness rose such that he watched strangely as an outsider.

He had witnessed the big yellow dog’s breathing before he entered the Chaos Cave, but he could not get anything out of it, not even through the integration of Heaven and man. The unique power that was inherited through a bloodline could not be easily imitated or solved.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming wanted to see if he could gain useful information from it this time since his mental state seemed to have advanced.

The big yellow dog breathed again after a brief moment, and Ou Yangming entered the thoroughly meticulous state at once.

Time seemed to have slowed down, and he observed everything in depth. He could clearly notice every detail when the big yellow dog opened its mouth and could sense a frightening power had gathered over there. Afterward, the power gushed out of Big Yellow’s mouth, and it merged with a certain energy in the void the moment it left, causing a disruptive change to happen.

Ou Yangming s.h.i.+vered a little as he had somewhat grasped the key.

“Pow…”

Countless stalagmites emerged from the ground once more, but Ou Yangming no longer paid attention to it.

When he closed his eyes, every step performed by the big yellow dog, as well as the comprehensive change that happened when its energy left its body to interact with the outside world, surged in his mind in a hurry.

The breathing was the big yellow dog’s gifted ability, but Ou Yangming noticed something unordinary about it.

In fact, he was strongly confident that he could release a similar power if he could derive everything. Needless to say, based on Ou Yangming’s strength at the moment, he might never be able to derive it.

The big yellow dog finally grew quiet after two hours.

Even though strength improvement was quite important, a foolish martial artist would not cultivate without resting.

Ou Yangming looked at the rather dispirited big yellow dog and said with a smile, “Hey, you gained quite a lot, didn’t you?”
