Chapter 360 - Reaching The Peak In A Day (2/2)

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was not the slightest bit worried. If it truly was Wu Yuanwei’s intention to harm him, he need not give him instructions and create such a grand scene.

Furthermore, Ou Yangming did not detect a single ounce of maliciousness from Wu Yuanwei.

“Concentrate and guard your meridian well. Be careful.”

Wu Yuanwei’s voice rang out as quickly and as loudly as a thunderclap. Upon hearing his words, Ou Yangming instantly leaped into action. He hastily s.h.i.+fted all his attention to his guard and he placated his emotions.

An instant later, he felt an immense force swarming towards him from the outside.

“Listen closely, use your mental power to lead the natural energy into your own body.” Wu Yuanwei’s voice was as heavy as a mountain, making it hard to resist. “Toughen your body, focus your essence, nourish your spirit, and ascend into the heavens!”

With a tidal wave of energy heading his way, Ou Yangming dared not hesitate. His mental power erupted, and just as Wu Yuanwei had ordered, Ou Yangming guided the energy into his own body and meridians.

The energy that came his way was unbelievably powerful, and it was strong enough to overwhelm even a Supreme Great Ancestor.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming’s breathing gradually stabilized, and he had poured in almost the entirety of his mental power into leading and digesting the energy. At that point, nothing from the outside world would be able to disrupt his focus, as Ou Yangming’s mental scape was the only thing he felt.

Wu Yuanwei raised his hand high above his head, and like a singularity, he drew in all the mystical energy in the area.

His gaze was fixed onto Ou Yangming’s body, which, at that moment, was turning an abnormal shade of red. It was clear that the handling of the energy was an excruciating burden to bear.

As such, Wu Yuanwei focused his gaze to observe Ou Yangming’s aura.

Slowly, but surely, surprise crept into Wu Yuanwei’s eyes. Ou Yangming had performed much better than he had expected.

Although the external energy that came his way was extremely powerful, under Ou Yangming’s masterful control of his mental power, there was not a single leakage of said energy. Realizing this, Wu Yuanwei could not help but praise the young man’s splendid abilities.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Wu Yuanwei.

‘Why is this young man’s mental power so strong?’

It was at this instant that Wu Yuanwei finally understood why Ou Yangming’s Simulated Spiritual Fist was so powerful.

After all, Ou Yangming’s mental power had surpa.s.sed even Wu Yuanwei’s, and as such, his ability to bamboozle the Yang Grade powerhouses was to be expected.

The longer he stared at the clueless Ou Yangming, the more envious Wu Yuanwei became.

After all, in their world, no one could utilize the full potential of their mental power. However, sitting before him was one such person, and if said person were to ascend to the upper realm…’Would I still be able to beat him?”

For some reason, the number one powerhouse of humanity suddenly had the urge to kill the man before him.

However, his killing intent had only lasted a moment, as he had forced it down as soon as it manifested.

Since Ou Yangming had diverted all his attention into the energy flowing in, he was oblivious to the killing intent that Ou Yangming had leaked earlier.

Every ounce of Ou Yangming’s senses was bombarded by the external energy that swarmed into his body. Under the guidance of his mental power, the energy was already flowing within his meridians, and little by little, the energy had also toughened up his body, including both his flesh and bones.

In that instant, he felt as if both his spirit and body had merged into one.

It was a state that was usually available only to the Supreme Great Ancestors. Nevertheless, under the constant bombardment of the external energy, Ou Yangming had entered the state as well.

Better still, while his body toughened up, an unexpected change had occurred within. His meridians had expanded, and as a result, he could store and unleash much more essential Qi.

His mental power coupled with the endless and overwhelming external energy had made him as if years had gone by in an instant.

Before long, Ou Yangming noticed that he could no longer strengthen his body as he had reached his physical limits. If he were to push it any further and allow the meridians to continue expanding, he would only injure himself.

As if it had read his mind, the moment Ou Yangming realized this, the overwhelming external energy immediately weakened, and before long, it had vanished without a trace.

When Ou Yangming opened his eyes, his eyes glowed with radiant light.

Powerful essential Qi flowed within his veins, and he felt much stronger than before.

“The peak of the Yang Grade!’ His brief cultivation within the secret realm had advanced his cultivation base to the peak of the Yang Grade, and he was only one step away from the Extreme Grade!
