Chapter 186 - Super Weapon (2/2)

As graceful as Ni Yinghong was, her face reddened. She gritted her teeth and glared at Ou Yangming. ‘When did you say you’re giving me the military saber?’

In spite of that, she was delighted, and she could not hide her feeling of happiness.

“Grandfather Tian, I’ll give you this saber if you like it.” Ni Yinghong turned her head and flashed an exceptionally charming smile.

Ni Xuetian could not help but feel elated. He would have declined the offer if it was something else. It would not be nice if other people said he was taking advantage of his junior.

However, Ni Xuetian was in love with the incredibly sharp military saber, and he was unwilling to let go of it no matter what.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat all of a sudden. “It’s inappropriate for you to take it away now, isn’t it…” The other people were taken aback, whereas the smile on the great ancestors’ faces froze.

old Craftsman immediately reprimanded, “B*stard, watch what you’re saying! n.o.body’s going to call you a mute if you don’t say a word!”

“Old Man, don’t be mad,” Ou Yangming quickly responded and explained, “I still haven’t used the secret Layering Art that you taught me, so this military saber is only a White Slate Weapon!”

The Ni family’s great ancestors were stunned, and they felt guilty. It turned out that they misunderstood the young fellow. Although the military saber had subdued Ni Xuetian, if it could be further improved, why would he reject it?

Ni Xuetian laughed and flashed to the front of Ou Yangming, then he handed over the saber. “Lil’ Friend Ou, please.” Ou Yangming nodded and glanced faintly at Ni Yinghong to wink at her. He was trying to ask, ‘How did I do?’

Ni Yinghong widened her hazel eyes because she did not expect Ou Yangming to be so daring. Nevertheless, since the other people were watching closely, she could only act as though nothing had happened. Ou Yangming smiled proudly as he made his way to the smithing workshop. He had slashed the bench into two with his saber, but there were still many Power Ores on it.

“Senior, do you want to choose the attributes? Or should I just layer with Power Ores?”

“Choose the attributes?” Ni Xuetian was startled. “Have you grasped the way to layer complex attributes?”

It was relatively difficult to layer a single kind of attribute, thus the difficulty of layering complex attributes would be more than twice the original difficulty.

Ou Yangming laughed and responded, “I have some understanding in it, but I’ll be more confident if I’m layering a single type of attribute.”

Ni Xuetian hesitated for a while before he decided. “It’s not easy to smith a magic tool, so we shouldn’t take the risk. You can just layer with the Power Ores. Since a magic tool’s bearing ability is better than an ordinary tool’s, you can do at least triple-layering.” Triple-layering meant that there would be 3 Points[1] of Power in the military saber.

Ni Xuetian would not have given such a harsh term to normal blacksmiths, but Ou Yangming was not normal. Besides, the three great ancestors had heard about what he did for the Fang family.

Since Ou Yangming could carry out double-layering on a piece of equipment at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five, it was expected of him to upgrade a magic tool. Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Okay, I’ll try my best.” He picked up a Power Ore from the ground. Such a rare ore would be troublesome for ordinary people to require, but more than ten of them were casually placed here.

Sure enough, the foundation of a super influential family was beyond a normal person’s imagination. When Ou Yangming’s Military Fire instantly burned and enveloped the magic military saber, Ni Xuetian looked anxious.

His love for the saber was indeed unmatched.

Ou Yangming shook his wrist after a brief moment to toss a Power Ore into the Military Fire. The Power Ore instantly turned into liquid, which was evenly spread across the saber. Even then, he did not plan to stop as he continued to toss more Power Ores into the fire.

The young fellow tossed three ores (TN: Author wrote four ores at first, but triple-layering means three ores are used. We’ve corrected it for the context) into the fire, and everyone held their breaths as they dared not disturb him.

At last, Ou Yangming kicked to retrieve a fourth (TN: Author initially wrote three, but at this point, this should be the fourth ore. We’ve corrected it for the context) Power Ore.

“Ah…” Ni Yunhong exclaimed, but he quickly covered his mouth.

Ni Yinghong’s hands trembled a bit as if he wanted to stop Ou Yangming, but he decided not to do it in the end.

They had developed a nearly-blind trust for Ou Yangming. Finally, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and turned his wrist to curb the Military Fire.

He handed the military saber to Ni Xuetian and expressed, “Senior, by good luck I was able to accomplish the task.”

Ni Xuetian accepted the saber. His eyes glowed when he circulated his essential Qi into it. “A quadruple-layering?”

“That’s right.”

“Nice, heroes are really born from youngsters.” Ni Xuetian laughed out loud. “Big Uncle, Second Uncle, a genius like him should have a close relations.h.i.+p with our clan!”

Ni Jingshen and Ni Jingtong smiled at Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong. In the end, Ni Yinghong hastened away because she could not take it anymore.

On the contrary, Ou Yangming smiled because he was relieved.

Ou Yangming had shown his greatest ability by now, allowing him to gain an advantage first. He figured that the great ancestors would make the right choice no matter what He Liangce was going to offer.
