Chapter 378 - You Have Me (1/2)

Vast energies gushed into Ou Yangming’s body and into his sea of consciousness, where they were converted into the most ordinary mental power.

Ou Yangming’s heart was pounding. Although he vaguely understood that the conversion was certainly unordinary, given the substantial benefit and the quick improvement of his strength, he naturally cast aside his concerns.

Needless to say, he was still on guard. If anything felt inappropriate to him, he would forcefully cut off the process.

Nonetheless, it was soon proven that his worries were baseless.

When Ou Yangming finished digesting the flesh and blood, he opened his eyes, which gleamed for a split second.

He hesitated for a while before he rubbed his hands to release the Appraisal Light on himself.

[Race: Human]

[Power: 15] [Agility: 15] (Physique: 19 (15+4)] [Mental Power: 55 (53+2]

(State: Integration of Heaven and man, thoroughly meticulous]

Ou Yangming was surprised and overjoyed. Putting aside the other properties, what truly moved him was that his mental power had increased by 2 points.

In actual fact, after absorbing energies from a bag of flesh and blood, Ou Yangming’s mental power increased by 1 point only. The other point was what he gained from cultivating attentively for several months, making an improvement in martial arts, performing the Simulated Spiritual Fist, as well as smithing magic tools.

Nevertheless, this was exactly the reason Ou Yangming was elated.

The fact that months of hard work was equivalent to absorbing energies from a bag of flesh and blood was so tempting that it was indescribable.

Ou Yangming trembled a little because he finally understood why the big yellow dog was so keen on the Earthly Dragon Beast’s flesh and blood. It turned out that they were extremely advantageous. The young fellow looked up and immediately saw the big yellow dog doing its best to absorb its portion of Earthly Dragon Beast flesh and blood with the Devouring ability. He quietly observed for some time and finally confirmed that the energies would not give the dog negative effects like how those from ordinary flesh and blood would.

Even though Ou Yangming could not understand it, he would be foolish to not utilize this discovery.

Therefore, in the ravine, the human and the dog kept stabbing their weapons into the Earthly Dragon Beast’s flesh and blood to absorb their energies. Ou Yangming turned the energies into his mental power, but he did not know what the big yellow dog turned them into.

It took half a day for them to finish the bags brought by Ou Yangming.

Big Yellow cultivated for half a day, but it did not look exhausted at all. Instead, it was in high spirits. The big yellow dog barked excitedly at Ou Yangming as it could not hide its happiness, whereas the young fellow simply nodded. His mental power foundation was so solid that he surpa.s.sed the 60-points mark and achieved a total of 63 points, if he took into account his Blood Flight waist sash’s Unique Attribute, which gave a 5% mental power increment.

The actual mental power increment for Ou Yangming from the bags was at least 8 points, which was an unbelievable amount.

It was worth noting that as one’s cultivation increased, one’s physique and mental power would slowly approach a limit. The closer they were to it, the harder it would be to upgrade them, which was why there were several times more Force Grade cultivators in this world than there were Supreme Great Ancestors.

A martial artist’s cultivation was always in the form of a pyramid.

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not sense the limit when he converted the Earthly Dragon Beast’s energies.

In other words, the benefits from the dragon beast had not arrived at a limit because the flesh and blood had greater benefits to be uncovered.

Ou Yangming curbed his thought and stuffed the bags into his interspatial bag. He later retrieved some specially-made powder and sprinkled them in the air to mask and neutralize the b.l.o.o.d.y smell in the air.

He pondered for a while and vaguely realized that while Earthly Dragon Beast flesh and blood had endless wonderful uses, he could not enjoy the benefits without equipment attached with the Devouring attribute.

Moreover, given that there were no negative effects and limitations when he absorbed the flesh and blood, he figured that it was because of their source.

‘What exactly is the upper realm like?’ Ou Yangming was incredibly curious.

He patted the big yellow dog’s head, and the dog wagged its tail obediently. After receiving some perks from the young fellow, it became truly loyal to him.

“Big Yellow, don’t be in such a hurry. I have more flesh and blood, so I’ll bring them again and we can absorb them together,” Ou Yangming noted with a smile.

The big yellow dog stared at Ou Yangming and kept sniffing his body as if it wanted to find his secret storage. The young fellow pushed it away snappily and said, “Stop playing around; they’re not with me. Quickly bring me to go meet Elder Sister Ying.”

Big Yellow glanced at Ou Yangming’s interspatial bag reluctantly, but it turned around in the end. Instead of leading the way, it shook its body.
