Chapter 203 Underestimated

He Liangce looked deeply at Ou Yangming. ‘This young fella seems rash, but he’s full of strategies. Most importantly, he has a formidable trump card that can be used to eliminate a strong enemy.’ “Mental power. I’ve heard rumors in the prefecture, but I didn’t expect you to be the person who set the fire at Elder Universe’s residence,” He Liangce remarked.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I’m not so bold; it was Elder Universe who asked me to try.”

“Hehe, I’m afraid that old senior didn’t know he was testing a freak too,” He Liangce commented with a smile.

After settling the fearsome half-spirit beast, they were both in a cheerful mood.

Ou Yangming chuckled and stepped forward to pull out his spear from the ground, then he brushed it at the end of the tiger’s tail. He used his force wonderfully such that the spear tip slit the tail as if the tail was slashed by a saber.

He Liangce’s eyelids twitched, and he asked with a deep voice, “A magic tool?”

‘If it isn’t a magic tool, how can it be so sharp?’

Ou Yangming nodded and warned, “This venomous snake is a bit strange, so it’s best to be cautious.” He used his spear like a dagger as he opened the snakehead and retrieved an inner core from it. Nonetheless, the core was only the size of a quail’s egg, which was not worth mentioning.

“Brother He, how much do you understand half-spirit beasts?” Ou Yangming asked as he looked at the inner core in his hand.

“A lot,” He Liangce answered and sighed. “From the day I became sensible, I was already in touch with knowledge in this aspect.”

Ou Yangming looked at him in shock and thought, ‘This disciple from an influential family is abnormal!’ “There are many species of half-spirit beasts, but if they’re categorized according to their natural gifts, there are mainly two types.” He Liangce ignored the unusual look in Ou Yangming’s eyes. He glanced at the big multicolored tiger and explained, “One of the species has an outrageously powerful physique, so if an ordinary person encounters a half-spirit beast like this, it’ll be a disaster.”

Ou Yangming pouted his lips and said, “Brother He, since you can contend with it for so long, you’re not an ordinary person.” He Liangce laughed and said, “Brother Ou, you were able to eliminate it in one move, so you’re not an ordinary person too.”

They looked at each other and smiled, but their faces quickly froze as they were embarra.s.sed. He Liangce immediately changed the topic. “Another type of spirit beast possesses a unique natural gift of mental power. Spirit beasts like that can communicate with Heaven and Earth’s power to perform various wonderful techniques. Brother Ou, you must be extra careful if you stumble upon a half-spirit beast like that one day.”

Ou Yangming nodded in agreement.

Back when he and the big yellow dog came across the Chaos Cave’s Black Magic Crawlers, the crawlers left an extremely deep impression on him. He and the yellow dog had only pa.s.sed the hurdle by chance, and while they both received great rewards, it was such a disastrous experience that they almost did not survive.

What if the big multicolored tiger met the crawlers?

The ordinary crawlers might not be able to bite through the big tiger’s body with their mouthparts.

Under absolute power and speed, a person whose cultivation base is below the big tiger’s would be killed right away unless one fathomed the integration of Heaven and man like Ou Yangming and He Liangce – who could contend with the tiger with help from their surroundings.

As for half-spirit beasts like Big Yellow, who possessed all sorts of peculiar abilities, it was even tougher to deal with them. The only thing one could do in the face of such beasts was to be exceptionally careful.

Following that, Ou Yangming approached the tiger and reached out his hand to search without bothering about the blood. He obtained an inner core too, but it was much larger than the snake’s core.

He tossed the tiger’s core to He Liangce and asked, “Brother He, the tiger’s core belongs to you while the snake’s core and the beast’s body belongs to me. Are you okay with that?”

“The most valuable thing in a half spirit beast is its inner core, so you’re going to suffer a loss if you distribute them like that,” He Liangce expressed after a moment of hesitation.

“You fought it alone and stalled it for such a long time, which makes you the real contributor. I think this is the most appropriate way of distributing them.” Ou Yangming smiled, then he retrieved a bag of specially made powder and began spreading the powder all over the tiger’s body.

It was a type of medicine from the military, which was spread on a half-spirit beast’s body to preserve its flesh and blood’s essence to the greatest extent. Also, the smell of blood would not linger in the air too.

Once Ou Yangming was done, he requested after some thought, “Brother He, please wait a moment.”

He flashed into the dense forest again.

He Liangce was curious, but he did not follow the young fellow and waited quietly on the spot.

Ou Yangming ran out happily after 15 minutes with a bamboo stick in his hand. Judging from the bamboo’s freshness, he had just chopped it down.

“You went in to find this bamboo.” He Liangce furrowed his eyebrows.

“Yes. This spear is prepared for General Chen Yifan. Hehe, but if it’s possible, I’d like to smith one for my own use too!” Ou Yangming explained.

He Liangce shook his head and asked, “Didn’t you look for the half-spirit beast’s lair just now?”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he smiled embarra.s.sedly. “I’m not familiar with these, so how about you go and take a look?”

“Okay, wait here.” He Liangce looked deeply at him, then he entered the dense forest too, but he began to think highly of Ou Yangming

Earlier on, it was fine that Ou Yangming did not think about the big multicolored tiger’s lair. However, when he found out about it, he even asked He Liangce to look for the place instead.

He Liangce was glad to have Ou Yangming’s trust.
