Chapter 171 Jiumei Leaves Far Away

Three days.

Ou Yangming and Chen Dishou stayed outside the prefecture for three days. During the period, Chen Dishou confided his knowledge to Ou Yangming. It was worth noting that he never put in so much effort, not even when he taught the most excellent disciple in his clan.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not disappoint him.

The young fellow’s unusual talent was fearsome, and he seemed to be born with a sharp sense in the understanding of skills. As long as Chen Dishou taught Ou Yangming once, the young fellow was almost able to apprehend the skill’s essence and could a.s.sociate it with his own martial arts.

Needless to say, Chen Dishou did not find it strange because he witnessed the frightening state displayed by Ou Yangming in the integration of Heaven and man.

Besides, if that was not the case, Chen Dishou would not have treated Ou Yangming like that.

Nevertheless, he had no idea that Ou Yangming had not only fathomed the integration of Heaven and man, but also the thoroughly meticulous state, which was of a higher grade. Once Ou Yangming understood the thoroughly meticulous state’s ability, he was able to promote a better comprehension in the integration of Heaven and man too. In other words, he was able to grasp Chen Dishou’s teachings so quickly because the two states combined perfectly.

After three days, Chen Dishou called Ou Yangming over and sighed. “Lil’ Ou, you performed very well, and you’ve almost learned all my skills. Ah…”

Ou Yangming was stunned. “Senior, you’re…?!”

Chen Dishou shook his head and explained, “Your physique is decent, and your apprehension in martial arts is superior, so you’re considered a genius. That said, you have a fatal flaw.”

Ou Yangming’s face changed. If Chen Dishou was talking about his strong point, perhaps he would dismiss it with a laugh, but he was immediately concerned because the tributary was talking about his shortcomings.

“You probably had tough days when you were younger, and you weren’t well-nourished when you were growing up, am I right?”

“I’m an orphan, and I was lucky enough to be adopted by an old man. If that had not happened, I would either still be roaming around or have already frozen to death on the street.” Ou Yangming nodded with a grave expression on his face.

Chen Dishou sighed. “That’s it. You didn’t take good care of yourself back then, so you have an incompletely cured illness. Ah, the root cause is an extremely tricky one, and it has a huge effect on you!”

Ou Yangming looked slightly gloomy, but who could he blame it on?

Back then, having a full meal was already a luxury for him, let alone being well-nourished. Besides, most of the time, he was on the verge of being starved to death.

Given the circ.u.mstances, taking good care of his health was simply wishful thinking.

“Senior, may I ask how it’ll affect me?” Ou Yangming asked humbly.

Chen Dishou answered, “Other than being gifted in martial arts knowledge, a martial artist must also have great physical quality. Normally, if one was well-nourished from young, one will have the ability to produce powerful Qi and blood, which make the foundation of one’s physical quality.”

He looked at Ou Yangming like it was such a shame. “Your foundation is lacking, and you’re slightly inferior in terms of the ability to produce Qi and blood. You might be able to advance to Yang Grade in the future, but it’ll be extremely difficult for you to break through to Extreme Grade.”

“Qi and blood?” Ou Yangming’s face twitched, and he had a strange look in his eyes.

Chen Dishou thought Ou Yangming was dispirited when he saw the young fellow’s strange reaction, hence he instantly comforted, “Lil’ Ou, you don’t have to belittle yourself. You may be lacking in physical quality, which makes it hard for you to enter Extreme Grade, but your perception in martial arts is the best I’ve ever seen. Even if you’re only in Yang Grade, I believe that you’re able to resist a Supreme Great Ancestor.”

Ou Yangming curbed his weird thoughts and thanked, “Thank you for your teachings, senior. I’ll definitely work hard, and I won’t disappoint you.”

“Okay, continue to work hard. I’ll inform you to fulfill your promise once you advance to Yang Grade.”

“Senior, if I may ask, who exactly did you make the promise with?” Ou Yangming was slightly moved.

He had asked Chen Dishou the same question before, but the tributary previously avoided talking about it.

Since three days had pa.s.sed, they became closer to each other.

Although they were not a master and an apprentice in name, they were in fact a master and an apprentice.

“I can only tell you that she’s a real martial arts powerhouse, whose cultivation base is at the peak of Extreme Grade, and she cultivates a supreme secret technique. Ah, if her successor manages to inherit her legacy, that person won’t be an easy match, but…” Chen Dishou answered after some thought, then he raised his eyebrow and added, “Since Heaven let me meet you, this must be a silver lining. Hehe, I believe that you’ll be victorious.”

Ou Yangming responded seriously, “Yes, I’ll certainly do my best to not ruin your reputation.”

“Very well!” Chen Dishou made three big laughs. He then flapped his sleeves and turned to leave. He vanished from Ou Yangming’s sight in a flash.

Ou Yangming slowly stood up straight and looked at his palm. He had an odd look in his eyes once more.

‘Qi and blood? My ability to produce Qi and blood is limited?

‘Is this… Really a huge flaw?

‘If Chen Dishou meets General Chen Yifan and talks about me, I really can’t tell which one of them will be able to convince the other, but I suppose Grand Elder Chen Dishou has a higher chance of winning. After all, if the two of them fight, General Chen Yifan will definitely be defeated.’

The more Ou Yangming wondered, the more interested he was. He even curled his lips into a faint smile.
