Chapter 181 - God Of Fire Descends (1/2)

The clamor finally stopped. Once the blazing fire disappeared in a peculiar way, the other people began to look at Ou Yangming strangely.

A light breeze blew gently, carrying a burnt smell in the air, but n.o.body paid attention to it.

Not knowing who started it, a row of people in a certain direction had already kneeled on the ground.

It was as though the movement was contagious because more people began to kneel.

The people who lived in this area were mostly ordinary people who relied on Elder Universe. On the other hand, powerhouses who cultivated martial arts dared not stay here for a long time.

Based on Elder Universe’s character, he would never oppress ordinary people with extreme measures. Instead, he took good care of them.

Therefore, when these people, who had never experienced many hards.h.i.+ps in their lives, were suddenly attacked by fire from heaven and witnessed the G.o.d of fire’s birth, the fear that they felt was indescribable.

When one of them kneeled, it caused a chain effect and everyone else began falling on their knees too. Ou Yangming was stunned, and he finally s.h.i.+fted his attention away from the dancing flame.

He came to a sudden realization when he glanced at the people kneeling around him.

Power. The sensation and the treatment were results of extraordinary power.

Perhaps the ordinary people had already regarded him as something like a G.o.d.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming’s mental state shook in an instant as he became clear-headed. This is Elder Universe’s territory. G.o.d knows what the elder will think if I try to act cool here.’

Although Ou Yangming had fathomed the right way to use his mental power, there was a huge limit to it. He was still not confident about going against a Supreme Great Ancestor, not to mention the unpredictable Elder Universe.

He shook his wrist, then the fire in his palm instantly vanished.

Ou Yangming immediately noticed Elder Universe’s gloomy face when he turned to look. He twitched his mouth when he looked at the mess around him, then he said, “Senior, I told you, the flame is a bit too powerful…”

Elder Universe cursed. This is a bit too powerful? It’s extremely powerful, okay?’

Nevertheless, when he glanced at the terrified Ou Yangming, he sighed even though he knew the young fellow was likely pretending. “All of you may disperse.” He did not speak loudly, but his voice extended far and wide as though he spoke right next to the people. Those people were ordinary people who had been relying on Elder Universe to survive, after all, hence they dared not disobey him despite being fearful of Ou Yangming.

After a brief moment, Ou Yangming, Ni Yinghong, and Elder Universe were the only people left.

Elder Universe had a strange look on his face when he scanned Ou Yangming from head to toe. In particular, his seemingly bottomless eyes glowed with a mysterious l.u.s.ter.

Ou Yangming tensed up because he thought about the elder’s ident.i.ty.

‘He’s the acknowledged chief appraiser in the prefecture. Could he have noticed something?’

Elder Universe closed his eyes after a while, and his eyes no longer shone with an unusual light when he opened them again. He sighed and remarked, “Apprentice, your friend is gifted indeed. His mental power is… Much more powerful than yours!”

Ni Yinghong curled her lips into a bright smile. The mightier Ou Yangming was, the happier she was.

She asked when a thought crossed her mind, “Master, how is he compared to you?”

Elder Universe was stunned. He let out two dry coughs, which was obvious he wanted to avoid the topic. “His mental power is great, but the way he uses it is laughable, hehe.”

Ni Yinghong’s eyes lit up. She was only prompted by a sudden impulse to raise the question earlier, but Elder Universe reacted oddly.

She had a flash of thought, ‘Could his mental power be so powerful that he’s able to stand up to Master as an equal?’

Ni Yinghong thought about the big fireball, which gave her an unparalleled threatening pressure, and the thought grew like weeds being blown by the spring breeze.

‘But how is that possible?’

Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. “Judging from the elder’s look, he doesn’t seem like he took offense.’

“Senior, I acted too rashly. Please punish me.”

“Punish? Hmph, how should I punish you? Young fella, you used such a huge technique during your first visit. Were you trying to destroy the medicinal farm that I’ve been maintaining for decades?” Elder Universe glared at Ou Yangming.

“I dare not, I dare not,” Ou Yangming responded in fear.

Ni Yinghong’s eyes wandered about, and she commented, “Master, he has already apologized, so please forgive him. Besides, you were the one who asked him to attempt it…”

Elder Universe stared at her and regretted his decision of accepting her as his apprentice. That said, he quickly forgot about the regret.

“Young fella, I taught you the way to use mental power, but the secret technique has an incredibly high fatality rate, so you mustn’t perform it before you truly grasped it. If not, before you’re able to hurt an enemy with the art, you would’ve injured yourself first,” Elder Universe instructed seriously.
