Chapter 229 - Testing His Memory (2/2)

Ou Yangming sensed a boost in Heaven and Earth’s power in this area. Although it was not much, the enhancement was legitimate.

The young fellow nodded and began carving according to the new rune.

When the new rune was made after some time, Ou Yangming finally sensed the purple light.

He finally understood that the purple light was mysterious indeed. If he carved a wrong rune or if the rune was flawed and imperfect, the purple light would refuse to show up.

The purple rune naturally possessed the ability to appraise, and it was so picky that it would not make an appearance if the rune was not perfect.

Ou Yangming grinned and continued to engrave more runes, but Elder Universe was quite infuriated.

“This young fella is quite capable; I can’t believe that he spotted a tiny flaw that I made.’

Suddenly, Elder Universe became anxious. If Ou Yangming were to find another flaw, he would be totally embarra.s.sed.

Fortunately, as Ou Yangming controlled his Military Fire to produce more runes and replicated everything, he did not point out another faulty stone.

The moment Ou Yangming opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Elder Universe’s look of relief.

Elder Universe scoffed when he noticed Ou Yangming looking at him oddly. He spoke to the young fellow proudly, “Take your time to memorize them; you don’t have to rush it.” Despite that, Ou Yangming smiled and informed the elder, “Senior, I’ve memorized all runes.”

“You memorized all of them? Young fella, don’t speak carelessly. Hmph, do you think copying the runes means you’ve remembered and grasped them?” Elder Universe furrowed his eyebrows and sneered disdainfully. “If the path of runes can be learned so easily, I wouldn’t have trouble in finding a suitable successor.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He replied to the elder with a bitter smile, “I really memorized all of them.”

Elder Universe curled his lips and flapped his sleeves, causing the stones to fly into his sleeves.

Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed as he had a question in mind.

“There are quite a number of stones here, so how does Elder Universe keep them in his sleeves? Besides, his sleeves don’t look like they’ve expanded.’

“Since you claim you’ve memorized them, I’ll be testing you,” Elder Universe noted with a deep voice. He pointed with his finger and ordered, “Draw the runes that were shown on the stones just now.”

With something as a reference, even an ordinary martial artist could reproduce the rune drawings.

Needless to say, without a deep understanding of runes, whatever produced would only have mere appearance; it would not be able to activate the unique power between Heaven and Earth.

That said, even if Ou Yangming understood the path of runes, without references and without visualizing the runes, it was quite impossible for him to replicate the runes.

Elder Universe stroked his long beard and looked at Ou Yangming smilingly. He intended to see how the young fellow would embarra.s.s himself.

However, Ou Yangming closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he nodded and responded, “Okay.”

The Military Fire burned in his hands once more, causing the steel’s surface to be flattened right away. Under the sunlight, a striking light was reflected from the material.

Following that, untypical routes appeared on the steel mold’s surface.

It was the routes of one of the runes, and the instant the veined patterns surfaced, Elder Universe was fully immersed.

Under the elder’s watch, the rune was successfully and accurately drawn. Each route was precise and solid as though the steel became a thin paper while Ou Yangming drew on it.

Upon sensing a hint of aura, which was as firm as a mountain, Elder Universe had a feeling that Ou Yangming had completely grasped the rune. If one had not perceived the rune’s true meaning, one could not have carried out the process so smoothly.

Even if one had an amazing memory, it was simply impossible.

This was because runes were closely related to nature, thus it was not something that could be remembered through mere memory.

At last, under Ou Yangming’s control, the rune was perfectly displayed to the elder.

Elder Universe looked deeply at Ou Yangming and instructed, “Now, change to this rune.

“Change to another one.

“Change to this one.

“This one, this one, this one…”

Veined patterns of different runes were etched on the steel one after another. With that, Elder Universe was unknowingly looking at Ou Yangming with a completely different look.
