Chapter 187 - The Tough And Odd Wood (2/2)

He flashed and left.

Ou Yangming was surprised, but he was also slightly moved. “Could the Ni family have something good?’

Ni Jingtong laughed out loud. “I get it, Big Brother must’ve gone to get that item.”

“Senior, what item is it?” Ou Yangming was clueless.

“He stumbled upon a bamboo forest when he previously entered the immense forest to investi… No, to travel. That bamboo looked rather weird, so he took a section of it.” Ni Jingtong smiled and continued, “The bamboo is somewhat strange indeed. You’ll know when he returns later.”

Ou Yangming and the others became especially curious. It was worth noting that the Ni family had a profound foundation, as well as their ancestor’s relic and legacy. The fact that the three great ancestors attached such importance to a piece of bamboo even when they had seen countless treasures could only mean that the bamboo was out of the ordinary.

Ni Jingshen returned in a flash with a short stick in his hand.

Yes. The item looked like a short stick as it did not resemble a bamboo at all.

Ou Yangming wielded the stick after he accepted it, and his eyes immediately glowed. The short stick was exceptionally tough, no mark was left on it even when he grabbed it tightly, and it was also tremendously firm. When Ou Yangming channeled his essential Qi into it, not only was his Qi un.o.bstructed, but it also vibrated and flowed freely.

“Nice!”

Ou Yangming subconsciously exclaimed because he was equally in awe of the short stick as he was the magic military saber.

The stick seemed to have been created to match with the spear tip.

“Young fella, test it with the saber first,” Old Craftsman suddenly instructed.

Ou Yangming was startled, but he nodded right away. While the short stick put up a good performance, he did not know how it would do if it was attacked by a sharp weapon.

If the stick could be easily slashed by the magic military saber, it would not be great for use.

Despite that, Ou Yangming hesitated when he looked at the military saber in Ni Xuetian’s hand.

Ni Jingshen smiled and encouraged, “Lil’ Friend Ou, go ahead and test it with the saber. We’ve adopted different methods, but we couldn’t leave a mark on it at all. Hehe, I don’t know if the magic tool can actually do

Ou Yangming nodded and raised the stick. Following that, Ni Xuetian took a step forward, and a flash of saber-light was seen as he mercilessly slashed the short stick.

A clunk was heard as the metal and the wood clashed. Ou Yangming took a step back and looked at the wooden stick anxiously, but he was soon elated.

There was only a tiny white mark on the stick. When Ou Yangming rubbed it with his hand, the mark became almost non-existent.

Indeed, the stick was so firm that it could not be damaged by a magic treasure saber that cut through metal like it was mud.

“Senior, how can this be bamboo? Why did it… Become like this?” Ou Yangming asked excitedly.

Ni Jingshen answered with a bitter smile, “I have no idea what bamboo it is either, but it was still bamboo that could be damaged by a blade when I first retrieved it. It was only the next day that it turned into a stick. It became tough to do damage to it from then on.”

“Yes, but if it doesn’t have such a property, we wouldn’t have kept it.” Ni Jingtong nodded.

Ou Yangming roughly understood, then he burned the Military Fire in his hand.

Even then, he did not receive any information about the short stick in the mind.

“Senior, has Elder Universe seen this before?” Ou Yangming asked after a moment of hesitation.

Ni Jingsheng chuckled. “Yes, he has. He said it doesn’t belong to this world.”

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘Indeed.’ “Senior, may I ask where in the immense forest you found this from?”

“It’s deep inside the immense forest, and a half-spirit beast guards the place.” Ni Jingshen furrowed his eyebrows and sighed. “Back then, my cultivation base was only at the peak of Yang Grade, and I was almost killed by the beast when I encountered it, but I was lucky enough to have escaped. Now, if the half-spirit beast is still alive, I’m afraid that…”

Upon seeing the worried look on his face, the other people fell silent.

Half-spirit beasts were also categorized into strong and weak ones. The weak ones were on par with Yang Grade powerhouses, but if they broke through like Big Yellow had, even Supreme Great Ancestors could not necessarily contend with them.

Ou Yangming’s eyes wandered about as if he was devising a plan.

However, Ni Xuetian yelled at once, “No!” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, and he looked up in shock.

Ni Xuetian uttered in a serious manner, “Supreme Great Ancestors musn’t enter the immense forest under normal circ.u.mstances. Absolutely not!” “Why?” Ou Yangming was taken aback.

“You don’t have to ask-no means no.” Ni Xuetian sighed.

Ou Yangming questioned, “What’s considered abnormal circ.u.mstances?”

The Ni family’s great ancestors instantly had a grim expression on their faces, and they unknowingly released a strange aura.

Ou Yangming quivered, and he immediately added, “Okay, I won’t ask.”

Ni Xuetian looked deeply at him and sighed. “Lil’ Friend Ou, please excuse us.”
