Chapter 266 - Evasion Attribute (2/2)

Most Military Fire Blacksmiths worked hard their whole lives but only chanced on G.o.d-given attributes very few times; it could be counted with one hand. On the contrary, Ou Yangming had only acquired the Military Fire for less than a year, but he came upon G.o.d-given attributes more than once already.

He who was not content with the frequency could be perfectly described as a snake who was trying to swallow an elephant.

After Ou Yangming finished smithing a normal equipment set, he fixed his gaze on the three Power Ores.

Those were rare ores that could be used to bond Unique Attributes to the pieces of equipment, and each candidate was given three opportunities. It was a difficult test for the other Intermediate Blacksmiths, but it was as easy as drinking or eating for Ou Yangming.

The young fellow’s Military Fire burned and enveloped one of the Power Ores. Inside the powerful flame, the Power Ore instantly turned into a sticky liquid, and it slowly dripped down to the military saber.

However, Ou Yangming had no idea that the casual move resulted in exclaims on the high platform.

Power Ores were rare ores, and they were far more valuable than featured steel.

Even when an Advanced Blacksmith used a rare ore like that to fix a Unique Attribute to a piece of equipment, one would carry out the process carefully by fully focusing on the speed of melting the ore, as well as the phase of integrating the ore into the weapon.

That said, judging from Ou Yangming’s att.i.tude, even amateurs would think that he did not care about the matter at all.

Furthermore, the blacksmiths on the high platform looked at each other in confusion when they saw the young fellow grabbing the military saber casually.

“Brother Feng, based on his movements, it doesn’t look like he’s attaching Unique Attributes for the first time, right?” Yi Yucheng asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, and he’s able to melt the Power Ore so quickly…” Feng Guangyuan nodded and paused halfway, then he smiled bitterly.

He initially wanted to say that it was difficult to melt a rare ore so quickly, but on second thought, Ou Yangming’s Military Fire was obviously unordinary. As such, even featured steel was similar to mud to him. If that was the case, was it not normal that the rare ore, whose hardness and melting point were inferior to featured steel’s, could not withstand the fire for long?

“According to his technique, he should be very experienced to be able to melt the Power Ore so naturally, but…” Feng Guangyuan cleared his throat and curbed his thought. His face twitched as he forced a smile and continued, “Based on his age and the time he obtained the Military Fire, it’s quite surprising that he’s able to deal with rare ores already!”

Yi Yucheng could not help but laugh. “Brother Feng, don’t forget that he’s a blacksmith from… A certain military camp in Changlong County. The rules there aren’t strict, so it’s reasonable that he was able to overstep boundaries.”

The other people nodded in agreement and smiled faintly.

Everything was strict in the capital. If a person had only gotten the Military Fire for a year, not to mention rare ores, one could not use featured steel at all.

In comparison, the more remote a place, the more liberal the rules.

As long as a person with authority allowed it, any rule could be violated.

Thus, while the blacksmiths in the capital were proud of their people, they were indifferent toward the outsiders.

Even if Ou Yangming displayed outstanding and nearly unbelievable smithing skills, deep down they could not treat the young fellow with a different att.i.tude.

“Hehe…” Feng Guangyuan chuckled and froze for a while before he commented, “If Master Ou chose to attach a Unique Attribute to the military saber, could it be that… It’s already of the standard?”

Yi Yucheng and the other people stopped smiling. Apart from a few people, the rest had thought Ou Yangming’s military saber had not arrived at Fine Grade, which was why he looked frustrated and displeased.

They initially thought that Ou Yangming would smith a new military saber after he was done smithing the other pieces of equipment.

Who knew, Ou Yangming began to attach a Unique Attribute to a piece of equipment, where he even chose the military saber when he melted the rare ore.

Was he not telling everyone that the military saber was already qualified?

When the crowd scanned the other pieces of equipment, they wondered, ‘Could the young fella have completed a full equipment set?’ Ou Yangming had bound Unique Attributes many times. He had even linked Layered Attributes, let alone a single attribute.

As the Military Fire burned, the liquid was evenly spread on the military saber. Unique energy penetrated the saber and successfully attached the Power Attribute to the weapon.

Throughout the process, Ou Yangming did not utilize his fire’s special ability; he fixed the Power Attribute to the weapon through honest work.

It seemed like he was wasting his distinctive skill, but he enjoyed the process very much. When the Military Fire disappeared, the military saber contained 1 Point of Power attribute.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not stop. He hesitated for a while because he reached for the second Power Ore.

He did not want to fully reveal his strength, but he figured that it would be fine to show everyone a bit more of his astounding ability.

Just as he picked up the second Power Ore, the people on the high platform sighed a breath of relief.

‘At last, the young fella failed to add a Unique Attribute!’
