Chapter 281 - Superb Mental Power (2/2)

The young fellow was shocked. He had used appraisal art on himself in the past, but he wanted to know if the other people received the same information if they used it on him. “Senior, please point it out,” Ou Yangming responded. Not only was Ou Yangming curious, but the other people p.r.i.c.ked up their ears too. The miraculous young fellow from Changlong County had attracted the blacksmiths’ attention, and they wanted to know how he could possess such a magical ability. If they could grasp the secret, perhaps they could replicate it too.

Wu Hongxi uttered with a smile, “It’s because of your mental power.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and mumbled, “Mental power?” “Yes. Your mental power is so great that I can’t perceive it. It’s exactly because you have such mighty mental power as your backing you’re able to grasp smithing abilities better than anyone else, to the extent that I’m also far from you. Hehe, with the ability to fathom something quickly, as well as your unique Military Fire, it’s reasonable that you’re faster than normal people.”

“Senior, you couldn’t see my mental power?”. Ou Yangming was surprised.

“Yes, I couldn’t,” Wu Hongxi replied to him honestly and was not ashamed at all.

The others sighed and cast envious looks at Ou Yangming. Despite that, they did not know he was not born with mental power; he exchanged it from a continuous utilization of the devouring power and cultivations.

Ou Yangming nodded. ‘It turns out that appraisal art will also lose its effectiveness when there’s a huge mental power gap.’

He was not the only person in the world with mental power; Wu Hongxi also possessed mental power that was considered amazing to ordinary people. However, the fact that Ou Yangming had more than 50 Points of mental power allowed him to suppress his opponents, who would not be able to resist it at all.

“I didn’t teach you the way to make boots because I was worried you’ll reach for what’s beyond your grasp, but since you possess such magnificent mental power, you’d be wasting the natural resource if you practice according to the ordinary path.” Wu Hongxi was pleased when he looked at Ou Yangming. He later waved and instructed, “Lexin, bring me a piece of fur.”

Yuan Lexin responded to the master right away and left in a hurry. He soon returned with a piece of ferocious beast fur, as well as the material for soles.

“Watch me closely,” Wu Hongxi ordered. The Military Fire burned in his hand and enveloped the beast skin. “The production of a normal pair of boots involves about ten steps, and it becomes more complicated if you’re making them into pieces of equipment. For me, there’s only one step, which is shaping with the Military Fire.”

As he spoke, the best skin underwent an enormous change. It naturally split into smaller pieces and slowly combined according to a boot’s pattern through the Military Fire’s airflow. Everything seemed like it was controlled by a pair of invisible hands, and the beast skin was soon turned into a boot that could be worn.

Cutter and glue were not used as they were replaced by the Military Fire.

Ou Yangming looked grim. While the amateurs seemed to be watching a magic show, he saw the Military Fire’s temperature change.

The young fellow smiled bitterly because he finally understood why Wu Hongxi was unwilling to teach him the refining method for boots just now.

Although the Military Fire needed to have two different temperatures during the making of a cloak, as compared to the production of boots, it was incredibly simple. The changes in the Military Fire were ten times more complicated during the refinement of a boot because the fire’s temperatures kept alternating. and the ordinary airflow even transformed into a sharp blade. Overall, the difficulty of making a boot could not be mentioned on equal terms with that of a cloak.

Wu Hongxi carried out the process at the speed of light because he had refined the item countless times, thus he knew the technique like the back of his hand.

At last, due to the adhesion from the Military Fire’s different temperatures, the boot’s surface, lining, and its sole were bound together.

Wu Hongxi sighed a breath of relief, then he looked up and asked, “Do you understand?” Ou Yangming closed his eyes and entered the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, at the same time. He briefly recalled everything he saw.

“I understand,” Ou Yangming responded with a nod.

“Do you really understand?” “Yes, I understand.”

“Okay, that room has the materials that you need, so go and make five pairs of boots.”

Ou Yangming cupped his hands gratefully and turned to leave. On the other hand, the Advanced Blacksmiths behind him were baffled.

The blacksmiths including two of Wu Hongxi’s disciples secretly cursed at the young fellow. ‘Understand my *ss! Did you really understand?’

Jin Shengjie asked with a smile, “Brother Wu, what do you think about him?”

Wu Hongxi pondered for a while before he remarked, “A peerless and gifted child with boundless prospects.”

The other people clamored because it was unbelievable that the master gave such a remark.

“Hehe, his talent is astounding indeed. What do you think if he joins us?” Jin Shengjie asked.

Wu Hongxi replied to him with the same expression, “If given enough time, the one who’s likely going to break through the world’s barrier to smith a magic tool won’t be us but… Him.”

Everyone else was taken aback, and even Jin Shengjie was moved this time.

‘I didn’t expect the young man to have such a high position in Wu Hongxi’s hard.’
