Chapter 315 - The Yang Grade Powerhouses Decision (1/2)

Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes slightly as he retracted his smile and stated in a serious tone, “Thank you.”

This was a Supreme Great Ancestor’s promise, and needless to say, it was extremely precious. Moreover, as Woo Lejia was now a Supreme Great Ancestor, his position within his family would also change greatly. In essence, his promise was akin to his entire family’s promise as well.

Should the need arise for Woo Lejia to fulfill Ou Yangming’s wishes, it would not be Woo Lejia alone, but rather, the entire Woo Family.

Woo Lejia chuckled and stated, “Brother Ou, this little one wishes to return to his hometown to solidify his boundary.” After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Once the Myriad Treasure Meet is over, this little one would like to invite Brother Ou over for a visit. This little one promises that he will treat you with the utmost courtesy.”

His eyes were glistening with excitement and pure intentions, there was not a shred of hidden agendas to be found within them.

Ou Yangming chuckled softly and stated, “Once this meet is over, I’ll definitely visit you. Just make sure not to abandon me by then.”

Woo Lejia gave a hearty response, “It’s a deal then! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be leaving.” He bowed with wrapped fists once again, and with that, he got off the ring and strode away from the scene. Interestingly, he had more escorts accompanying him as compared to when he first entered.

They were all powerhouses from the Woo family, and at that moment, their most pressing concern was their fledgling Supreme Great Ancestor who had yet to establish a stable boundary.

As such, once Woo Lejia returned home, he would be locked up with the greatest protection they could afford, until his state was completely stable.

Due to this, even though most of the Woo family members yearned to battle with Ou Yangming in the ring, they still resigned to protect Woo Lejia on his way home. Back in the ring, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply while shaking his head slightly.

Using the simulated spiritual attack to force a Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five powerhouse to experience a life-and-death situation had taken up much more mental power than Ou Yangming had initially expected. Moreover, it was also a large burden on his vigor.

Mental power is mental power, and vigor is vigor. They were two completely different resources.

Despite that, Ou Yangming caught two shadows lurking behind him from the corner of his eye.

The duo had simultaneously stepped into the ring at the same time, and they were both around Woo Leija’s age. Although they were acquaintances, neither of them were willing to back down from the ring and as a result, they were stuck staring awkwardly at one another.

All it took was a single glance for Ou Yangming to determine that they were both Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five powerhouses.

To be a Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five martial artist at this age while still being pa.s.sionate about martial arts was the norm among the Humans.

In contrast, people like He Liangce and Zuoqiu Hongyuan who had achieved Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five before the age of 30 were true, one-in-a-million geniuses. Even if fortune were to betray them in the future, they would still be able to reach the Extreme Grade without much trouble.

Geniuses like them were special cases, and their circ.u.mstances did not apply to the common folk.

For those who lacked natural talent, being able to advance into the Yang Grade around the age of 30 was considered an impressive feat.

Furthermore, if they somehow managed to reach Cla.s.s Five before the age of 50, there was a high likelihood that they could ascend to the Extreme Grade as well. In short, the younger they reached Cla.s.s Five, the higher their likelihood of reaching the Extreme Grade.

Those who were already Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five around the age of 40 like Woo Lejia and the two men before Ou Yangming were considered the hope of each of the major families.

Moreover, once they saw Wu Lejia’s ascension, the two innately realized that this was their chance of a lifetime. Should they miss the opportunity before them, they would undoubtedly regret it for the rest of their lives. As such, they were willing to forego their long years of friends.h.i.+p, all so they could seize the opportunity for themselves.

“Brother Ou, these two are Qin Xingchen and Yuan Zhiyong. They’re both renowned Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five powerhouses from the capital. As for the reason they’ve decided to duel you, I don’t think I need to explain, right?”

A delicate voice flowed into Ou Yangming’s ears, no, it might be more accurate to say that the voice had directly rung out within his mind.

Ou Yangming was slightly perturbed by this. Despite that, he made no noticeable reaction other than turning to look at Wu Hanning.

The imperial princess nodded at him; and her fearsome glare from before was replaced by a gentler shade.

Ou Yangming mentally froze. ‘So this weird voice is her doing! But how did she do it?”

‘It seems that the Wu Family’s thousand-year-long nation-founding history isn’t just for show. Their abilities are indeed the real deal.’

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming believed that so long as he mastered the use of his mental power, he would still come up on top of Wu Hanning if they were to duel.

After nodding back in response, a realization dawned upon him. ‘Isn’t this young lady treating me much better than before? Could it be? Is she no longer bothered by the incident?”

Qin Xingchen was a tall man with a fair complexion and no facial hair. He sighed lightly. “Brother Yuan, weren’t you always eyeing that meteoric jade ruler of mine? Well, if you back down now, that ruler will be yours for the taking.”

Yuan Zhiyong was slightly shorter than the former. After a slight pause, he then chuckled bitterly and stated, “If this were any other situation, I would’ve backed off even if you hadn’t offered up your prized treasure. However…” He shook his head and continued, “I refuse to budge this time.”

Near the end of his speech, Yuan Zhiyong’s tone turned serious and there was a powerful determination within his voice.
