Chapter 257 - Instantly Launched A Fireball (2/2)

The stool exploded as a result, and the scattered sawdust began to burn fiercely. Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. Even though he already had a feeling that it would happen, he was still shocked when he witnessed the small fireball’s power.

When he raised his wrist, the burning flames, which showed the tendency of spreading, flew up and returned to his hand, where they gathered into a small fireball again.

The small fireball could not take out something in one go, but it would certainly be a tremendously effective supplement if it was suddenly released in a battle.

By relying on the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, Ou Yangming could already contend with a great-ancestor-level powerhouse. If he also had the small fireball, he would even be confident about defeating a Supreme Great Ancestor in an arm wrestle.

Ou Yangming curled his lips into a faint smile because his skill was improving steadily. If he was given enough time, he would not fear a real spirit beast.

That being said, the smile on his face quickly disappeared because he had a feeling that he did not have too much time left. Hence, he would not miss any opportunity of improving his strength.

The small fireball appeared again when he moved his wrist.

Ou Yangming could not practice producing the small fireball with his mental power in the carriage because the place was too confined. A slight careless mistake would end in tragedy, and the young fellow was unwilling to be the center of attention.

Now, it was different. The room was not huge, but it was more than enough for him to practice how to control the small fireball.

The small fireball slowly rose from his palm. Under his consciousness’ control, it seemed to be connected to an invisible thread as it floated in front of him.

It would be simple if Ou Yangming only had to gather the small fireball to throw it out; it almost did not require any thinking as it was already available at his fingertips. On the other hand, it would be completely different to not only a.s.semble the fireball, but to also guide it with his great mental power.

n.o.body told Ou Yangming the way it should be done; he figured out the practice method when he was feeling helpless.

After all, he could not produce the small fireball only to throw it anywhere. If he did that, he would become the target of attack for all.

Since that was the case, the only thing he could do was keep controlling and moving the small fireball through his mental power. Needless to say, throughout the process, he had to maintain the fireball’s pressure below a safe warning level so that it would not explode.

It was not easy to achieve that. When Ou Yangming first began to attempt it, it was relatively difficult to control the small fireball, whether it was maintaining its scale, stabilizing its internal pressure, or guiding it with his mental power.

Besides, he had to consume a substantial amount of energy for the process.

After only 15 minutes, Ou Yangming felt that his head was somewhat aching. His face changed. The practice method’s mental consumption was so huge that it truly exceeded his expectations.

It was true that he still had abundant mental power, but if his energy was depleted to a certain level, the outcome will be the same.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and stared at the small fireball in front of him. The fireball dissipated bit by bit until it finally vanished.

The small fireball did not contain ma.s.sive mental power, thus he was able to get rid of it. If he had attempted to do the same to a huge fireball, the result would be entirely different.

Ou Yangming sat down and pressed his temples. He was slightly pale, and he looked rather exhausted.

It was unbelievable that controlling a small fireball was much more tiring than gathering a huge fireball.

Nonetheless, instead of feeling frustrated or regretful, Ou Yangming became more interested in the process.

The small fireball was not as mighty as the huge fireball, but it could not be underestimated at all. Even if a Supreme Great Ancestor took a hit from the small fireball, it would not feel good.

Of course, it would not be easy to attack an Extreme Grade powerhouse with a fireball. It was the same theory as how a normal person would dodge when someone else was slas.h.i.+ng a saber at him or her; n.o.body would take the hit with the neck.

‘What if I can control the small fireball so exquisitely that it arrives at the same time as the Suicidal Throat-locking Spear?’

Ou Yangming’s heart skipped the beat. If he achieved it, he would not be afraid of Ni Xuetian, a Supreme Great Ancestor who had also fathomed the integration of Heaven and man.

Once he found the right way to use his mental power, the power that could be unleashed would not be inferior to a martial arts powerhouse’s at all.

Ou Yangming clenched his fists, and his eyes sparkled.

The young fellow wanted to practice hard as he was determined to get used to the extreme energy consumption. He had to utilize the small fireball in a real fight as soon as possible.

As Ou Yangming swayed his hand gently, a peculiar rune was formed in front of him. With his body as the center, a strange power revolved around him within ten steps away. The young fellow exhaled deeply and was feeling so comfortable that he almost moaned.

He focused his gaze after a brief moment, and the small fireball appeared in the air once again…
