Chapter 322 - His Majesty The Emperor (2/2)

ver

The young fellow was previously dubious of the legend, but he believed it now.

Since he could help a powerhouse at the peak of Yang Grade become a great ancestor through the Simulated Spiritual Fist, based on the imperial family’s foundation and capabilities, they could do the same too.

Wu Kangzhe nodded and remarked, “What a spirited and powerful young fella; the Humans are fortunate to have a good man like you when a disaster is approaching.”

Ou Yangming was sweating as he replied to the emperor, “Your Majesty, you’re overpraising me.”

“Do you think my precious words are nonsense?” Wu Kangzhe walked to the center and sat.

Ou Yanging was struck dumb, and he could not let a word out.

Wu Kangzhe laughed out loud upon seeing the look on Ou Yangming’s face, but he did not hide how much he admired the young fellow.

‘Your Majesty, even if you admire me, you don’t have to do this, do you?’ Ou Yangming was puzzled. It was worth noting that this was their first meeting, yet His Majesty the Emperor did not disguise his feelings at all. Following that, Wu Kangzhe asked Ou Yangming some questions while the young fellow gave the most concise answers. Ou Yangming stayed clear-minded in front of the emperor and did not forget himself because he was suddenly favored.

There were two kinds of powerful figures in the world.

One was powerful because of one’s status and ident.i.ty, whereas one was powerful by oneself.

The former would be elated about being recognized by a superior, but the latter would not react the same. This was because the latter achieved what he did not through another person’s appreciation but through his hard work and capabilities. Therefore, even when His Majesty the Emperor expressed his admiration for Ou Yangming, the young fellow did not waver.

After a long time, Wu Kangzhe raised a question, “Is Mentor Dishou well?”

Ou Yangming looked up in shock.

Wu Kangzhe explained, “I learned from Mentor Dishou when I was younger. It was decades ago but the past is still vivid in my mind, and I can’t forget it.”

“Your Majesty, Mentor Chen is well, but… I don’t know where he is,” Ou Yangming stood up and answered seriously.

“I heard Mentor Dishou taught you everything about the Suicidal Throat-locking Spear?” Wu Kangzhe smiled. Ou Yangming pondered and answered, “I only scratched the surface of it.”

“Hehe, scratched the surface?” Wu Kangzhe shook his head and asked, “If you’ve just gained a superficial understanding of it, why would Mentor Dishou agree to a promised fight?”

“Your Majesty, I’m still quite confused about that, and I don’t exactly know what’s going on.” Ou Yangming forced a smile.

Wu Kangzhe flashed a smile, which was rare. “Let the older generation deal with the mess, but I heard something that might be disadvantageous for you.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Your Majesty, please give me some pointers.” “Mentor Dishou’s… Opponent found a good disciple. I heard the disciple has never learned martial art but resonated with a supreme magic tool during the entrance test.” Wu Kangzhe looked at Ou Yangming with pity. “That magic tool is not to be treated lightly, and if you really have a battle against that disciple in the future, you might be facing a… Supreme Great Ancestor.”

Wu Hanning and her elder brother were taken aback too when they looked at each other.

It was evident that it was their first time hearing about this secret.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. He was not bothered about magic tools.

However, the magic tool must be remarkable to be able to let an ordinary person, who had never practiced martial arts, become a great ancestor in a short period.

In comparison, while Ou Yangming smithed magic tools too, they were far from that supreme magic tool.

There were greater powers than his in this world, and he was not the mightiest be it in terms of martial art cultivation base or the smithing of magic tools.

Wu Kangzhe suddenly fixed his gaze at Ou Yangming and asked, “Ou Yangming, I’d like to ask-why did you get involved in the military’s equipment?”

Ou Yangming felt his scalp went numb, and he sensed a tremendous threat beside him as if his head would be chopped off if he gave an unsatisfactory answer.

“Your Majesty, I’m an orphan, but I grew up in the military, which was where I learned my arts. I’ve seen the pieces of equipment used by my brothers in the military, I’ve seen valiant ferocious beasts in the forest, and I’ve also witnessed my brothers being torn apart by those beasts,” he answered after he took a deep breath, then he looked up and stared at His Majesty the Emperor. “I only hope that more of my fellow soldiers can survive the great disaster.”
