Chapter 239 The Spiritual Fist

“The Spiritual Fist? What’s that…” Ni Yinghong’s eyes wandered about, then she asked abruptly, “Is the fist technique related to mental power?”

Ni Yinghong sounded like she was in disbelief when she raised the question; the big yellow dog was not much better too because it widened its eyes dumbfoundedly.

Nonetheless, the fuss they were making was not uncalled for because they were truly shocked by Ou Yangming’s answer.

The Spiritual Fist, as the name suggested, was a combination of mental power and fist technique. Despite that, mental power was mental power while a martial arts fist art was a martial arts fist art. The two of them belonged to completely different systems, so how could they be merged? At the very least, Ni Yinghong had not heard of anything similar because Ou Yangming brought it up. There seemed to be an invisible barrier between mental power and martial arts cultivation base, and it was a natural moat that could not be broken by even Elder Universe, who was a powerhouse at the peak of Extreme Grade.

Ou Yangming smiled and explained, “Elder Sister Ying, I saw many fist arts in the spiritual world, and I carried out preliminary practices inside.”

“What?” Ni Yinghong was shocked. “You practiced fist arts inside?”

“Yes,” Ou Yangming answered honestly, “Practicing fist arts in the spiritual world feels different from practicing it in the outside world, but I could clearly spot the arts’ flaws and shortcomings. After practicing a few times, I realized that mental power can be attached to fist techniques.”

Ni Yinghong and the big yellow dog looked at each other. They previously entered the mental world, but they felt enormous spiritual pressures inside. Besides, a lot of energy was consumed for them to maintain their virtual existence inside as much as possible. As for learning and immediately applying techniques in the spiritual world…

Not everyone had such an absurd ability.

Ou Yangming was still agitated, and he could not wait to show Ni Yinghong what he had learned.

“I attached my mental power to a fist technique, so apart from the fist art, it could also post enormous spiritual pressure on other people. Heh, the spiritual pressure is only an addition, but it can definitely result in an unbelievable effect.”

“I know, and I’ve experienced it.” Ni Yinghong looked deeply at him and was soon struck with a thought. “I understand it now. Your fist force is not that mighty, but our feelings tricked us.”

Ou Yangming’s punch earlier seemed powerful, so much so that even the big yellow dog-a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast —could not help but flee.

How could a punch like that be made by a Yin Grade martial artist?

“Elder Sister Ying, it didn’t exactly trick you. After all, the pressure was real.” Ou Yangming chuckled.

Ni Yinghong scoffed because the thought of Lil’ Ming tricking her made her feel displeased, and she was not resigned to it. Nevertheless, the young lady was still quite amazed.

How exactly powerful was Ou Yangming’s mental power? Perhaps he was able to accomplish the magnificent feat of attaching his mental power to a fist art because of his great mental power.

Ou Yangming flashed to Ni Yinghong and looked at her with his bright eyes, causing her heart to beat fast.

Without any warning, Ou Yangming opened his arms to hug Ni Yinghong. Ni Yinghong was stunned. Just as she was about to struggle, she felt something unordinary from Ou Yangming’s sudden move. As such, the young lady decided after hesitating for a while to quietly lean against him.

“Lil’ Ming, are you leaving?”

“Yes, I’m leaving,” Ou Yangming answered firmly, “I’m going to the capital.”

“Why?” Ni Yinghong asked softly, “I’m almost done, so don’t you want to stay to keep me company?”

“Elder Sister Ying, a spirit beast appears once in every hundred years. Is this… Considered G.o.d’s will?”

“Mm, it was probably predestined…”

“Predestined? Heh, but I don’t believe in destiny!” Ou Yangming hugged her even tighter than before. “Even if it’s G.o.d’s will, I’ll defy the natural order and change it! So what if it’s a spirit beast? I’ll kill one if one gets in my way, and I’ll kill a pair if there are two of them! I only want you to stay alive!”

Ni Yinghong looked up at him fearfully.

Although Ou Yangming had said something similar in the past, he did not have a murderous look on his face.

Ou Yangming lowered his head to look into her eyes. “The imperial family from the capital has an Almighty Being who can resist spirit beasts, so I’d like to see how exactly powerful the person is.”

Ni Yinghong finally understood why Ou Yangming insisted on leaving.

If he stayed in the Land of Inheritance, even if he entered the spiritual world every day, it was near impossible to grow in a short period to be able to resist a spirit beast.

However, the trip to the capital was an uncertain one.

Moreover, Ni Yinghong vaguely noticed a possibility from Ou Yangming’s statement.

If he could invite the imperial family’s Almighty Being, who kept watch in the capital, to kill the spirit beast in the immense forest, He Liangce and Ni Yinghong might not need to sacrifice themselves.

That said, if things were that simple, why did the people from Changlong and Linlang not adopt the method during the previous disasters?

Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong did not say a word after that, but the look in their eyes spoke volumes.

The young fellow lowered his head again after a long time to plant a kiss on the red lips in front of him.
