Chapter 230 An Enormous Change In His Sea Of Consciousness

“Young fella, did you really memorize every rune?” Elder Universe mumbled.

Ou Yangming nodded while he smiled with squinted eyes. “Yes, it’s not that difficult to remember them, is it?”

Elder Universe twitched his mouth and wanted very badly to teach the young fellow a lesson, but it was an undeniable fact that Ou Yangming had memorized the runes. This completely surpa.s.sed his perception of the matter, so he could not pride himself on being a veteran anymore.

The elder had a question in his head at that moment, ‘Could this young fella be a peerless freak who was born with knowledge?’

In any case, he would not believe that a person could grasp more than ten runes in a short period. Even if the truth was right in front of him, he was unwilling to believe it.

This was because it was no longer a matter of memory.

Ou Yangming had only used the Military Fire to carve rune routes on the steel, but Elder Universe was able to judge with his great vision and experience that the routes were not just for show; they were official runes that could stimulate Heaven and Earth’s power.

The fact that Ou Yangming could draw the runes proved one thing.

He was not merely memorizing the rune routes; he truly visualized them.

If Ou Yangming could achieve such a result by relying on his memory alone, it would only be because he had drawn the runes for a thousand, if not ten thousand, times and had fathomed the mysteries behind them.

There was only one explanation for why he could grasp the true meaning of runes after having drawn them once.

Ou Yangming had successfully visualized all of them.

Nonetheless, to visualize more than ten strange runes in one go… Even if Ou Yangming’s mental power was doubled, he could not have done it, could he?

Elder Universe stared at Ou Yangming in confusion. He was certain that the young fellow had a secret, and it had something to do with mental power. Ou Yangming’s hair stood on their ends as he was being stared by the old man. He forced a smile and asked, “Senior, you’re…”

“Young fella, you’re very lucky.” Elder Universe sneered.

‘What does he mean?’ Ou Yangming thought to himself as he was startled.

“You’re that little girl’s sweetheart, or else… Hehe…” Elder Universe added plainly.

Ou Yangming had gooseb.u.mps when he looked at the weird smile on Elder Universe’s face. He continued to force a smile and said, “Senior, I suddenly remember that I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be making a move first!” Following that, the young fellow turned and fled without any hesitation.

Elder Universe could not help but laugh when he watched Ou Yangming leave.

‘This young fella is gifted and smart, but he’s too timid.

‘I’m curious about him, but I’m already so old. Besides, for the sake of the little girl, how could I do anything to him?

‘But…’ Elder Universe stroked his beard as he recalled how unbelievably fast Ou Yangming learned the runes. For some reason, the elder was feeling hopeful.

‘Perhaps he’ll be the key to the upgrade of Humans’ pieces of equipment.

x.x.xX

Ou Yangming left the vegetable farm in a hurry as if he was being pursued by a monster; he dared not stay on the farm any longer.

He sighed a breath of relief after he returned to his courtyard in the Ni residence.

The odd expression on Elder Universe’s face at the end was truly appalling. Although Ou Yangming’s strength had changed so much that he could resist even a Supreme Great Ancestor, he knew his limitations. Perhaps the young fellow could escape if he relied on pieces of equipment, but it was wishful thinking if he wanted to defeat or kill a great ancestor in Extreme Grade.

Nevertheless, since Ou Yangming had returned to the Ni residence, Elder Universe would not capture him even if he wanted to.

Ou Yangming immediately felt weary. He consumed a great amount of energy to smith molds in the military camp, and his meeting with Elder Universe also resulted in a consumption greater than if he had fought a Supreme Great Ancestor.

Once he returned to a safe place, he could not hold on any longer.

He closed his eyes and became soundly asleep in a split second.

In his sleep, Ou Yangming dreamt that he slaughtered yet another formidable half-spirit beast, employing the Devouring attribute to transform the creature’s blood and flesh into his power.

Despite that, just as he was cheerfully absorbing energy from the blood and flesh, his dream was crushed, and he woke up just like that.

Ou Yangming shook his head and looked at the time and realized that he had slept for three hours.

Sleep was crucial for martial arts powerhouses like him, but two hours of deep sleep was actually enough for him to be fully recovered.

It was evident from the fact that he slept for three hours how much energy he had consumed earlier.

Somehow, Ou Yangming recalled his dream, and his heart pounded as though he was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of absorbing energy from the half-spirit beast’s flesh and blood.

The young fellow looked like he was bewitched, but he regained his senses before he fully indulged in the moment.

‘What’s happening to me…’
