Chapter 281 Superb Mental Power

Steady yet powerful footsteps were heard outside the door. It sounded dull yet strange as though it came from everyone’s heart, and it was rather stirring.

When Ou Yangming entered the room and everyone saw him, a thought crossed their minds. They thought the young man was certainly a person with strong determination and would never waver or give up if he made a decision.

Unlike other people, Wu Hongxi did not pay attention to Ou Yangming’s eyes and his condition. He instantly fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming’s shoulder because the young fellow carried a big bag.

Based on the master’s vision, he could naturally guess what was in the bag, and he knew there was more than just one or two of the item.

Nonetheless, could the items in the bag be what he was guessing it to be? For some reason, Wu Hongxi worried about his gains and losses.

Ou Yangming ignored the looks from the other people. Back then, he had been crowded around many times, so he slowly became used to it.

He approached Wu Hongxi and expressed softly with a red face, “Master Wu, I couldn’t figure out the way to refine boots, so please guide me.”

Wu Hongxi was stunned because he did not expect Ou Yangming’s first sentence to be about the refining method for boots.”

He scoffed and questioned without mercy, “Lil’ Friend Ou, did I not tell you to go step by step when I taught you the smithing path?”

“You did tell me to build a solid foundation and take one step at a time.” Ou Yangming immediately nodded. It was cliche, but he dared not forget those words.

Wu Hongxi pulled a long face and asked sternly, “If that’s the case, let me ask youhow’s your progress with the cloaks?”.

“Please inspect them.” Ou Yangming flashed a smile and removed the bag from his shoulder, then he opened it and revealed five cloaks.

Wu Hongxi’s path of equilibrium was not a secret in the capital, and he was known for making cloaks and boots normally. Since he was going to teach Ou Yangming the path of equilibrium, it made sense that he would teach the young fellow the way to make those items.

Therefore, the other people were not surprised to see cloaks in the bag.

Master Wu’s eyelids twitched, and his eyes were bright. Instead of checking the cloaks, he asked slowly, “Did you make these cloaks yourself?”

“Yes.”

“Is it true that you’ve never learned the way to make cloaks before this?”

“That’s right.”

Wu Hongxi looked deeply at Ou Yangming and bent forward to pick up a cloak. He did not carry out the process fast as he checked the item in detail, but his face slowly took on a grave expression.

The other people including Jin Shengjie kept quiet. That said, after hearing the master and the young fellow’s conversation, they were late to catch on but realized how difficult Ou Yangming’s task was.

As a novice, he made five cloaks in 2 hours, but the horrifying part was that he completed them.

In actuality, the others suspected that Ou Yangming made more cloaks and made some mistakes, but they got rid of the thought when they recalled that he only spent 2 hours.

Given that Ou Yangming managed to produce five cloaks in 2 hours, his speed was considered shocking. If he ended up smithing more than five cloaks, they would imagine he was not human.

Wu Hongxi stood up after a brief moment but pondered for a long time before he blurted, “Lil’ Friend Ou, please excuse me for the offense.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. ‘What is he talking about?’

Following that, Wu Hongxu rubbed his hands. When he opened them again, a light shone on Ou Yangming.

He did not do it in a swift as he obviously hesitated for a split second, hence Ou Yangming could have easily dodged the light. Nevertheless, the young fellow only moved a little and stood still in the end, allowing the Appraisal Light to be shone on his body.

Even so, Ou Yangming’s face darkened at that moment.

He was surprised that Master Wu Hongxi was also an appraiser, but he was rather mad that the master used the Appraisal Light on him without his permission.

It was a taboo, and if the same thing happened between two people who were not acquainted, a fight could have taken place as a result.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, please forgive me for being rash, but I couldn’t stand the curiosity,” Wu Hongxi apologized and explained after a pause, “I wanted to know how you were able to grasp a cloak’s refining method so quickly and managed to make several cloaks.” Ou Yangming nodded reluctantly and asked, “Did you find out?” “Yes,” Wu Hongxi answered seriously
