Chapter 388 Learning A Skill

The disturbance subsided after the big yellow dog calmed down.

Although the Supreme Great Ancestors outside the Ni residence were curious, they knew they could not simply ask about a clan’s secret.

In actual fact, Ni Jingshen and the others did not explain the situation not because it was a secret, but because it was too embarra.s.sing. If the others knew the big yellow dog went crazy all of a sudden, would they not burst out laughing?

Fortunately, not many people witnessed the scene. Furthermore, Ni Yinghong and Old Craftsman were not ones who blabbed.

Therefore, what happened tonight would be a secret forever and would not be revealed.

Ou Yangming continued to smith after the people left.

He patted the big yellow dog’s firm muscles and explained, “Big Yellow, I wasn’t trying to destroy your equipment; I only felt that the defensive skill shouldn’t be put on the equipment for a dog’s legs.”

The big yellow dog tilted its head and looked at him in confusion because it could not understand.

Ou Yangming asked patiently, “Think about it —what’s the biggest use of a dog’s legs?”

The big yellow dog lifted one of its forelegs and looked at its paw while it blinked its large eyes. All of a sudden, the dog’s eyes lit up, then it revealed its claws, which were initially hidden in its paw. The sharp claws were s.h.i.+ning in a cold light.

Ou Yangming slapped his thigh and said, “That’s right! They’re meant for attacks, so wouldn’t it be a waste to attach a defensive skill to the type of equipment for them?”

Big Yellow twitched its nose and looked at Ou Yangming strangely.

‘Did you destroy my equipment because of

this…

‘As long as it can be attached with a skill, not to mention it being attached to a piece of attacking equipment, I won’t mind even if it’s attached to the equipment for my tail!’

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming obviously had a different thought. In a way, a capable person would no longer be satisfied with the bare minimum but would constantly pursue perfection.

Ou Yangming patted the paw gauntlet and said, “Show me all your attacking methods. I’ll try to attach the skills accordingly on your gauntlet.”

With that, the Military Fire burned again and enveloped the equipment, as well as the big yellow dog’s body.

The big yellow pondered for a while before it released formidable yet fearsome energy from its body. As the power surged, over ten sharp giant stone awls emerged several meters in front of them. Each stone awl was incredibly smooth as if they were carefully polished. As compared to the yellow dog’s control at the very beginning, they were entirely different in terms of their shapes and powers.

Ou Yangming clearly sensed completely different veined patterns on the paw gauntlet.

The veined patterns had also surfaced on the equipment through the natural smithing technique. Even though it was different from the Indestructible Defense’s veined patterns, Ou Yangming had a feeling that the two energies shared the same root and were unique skills that belonged to the earth series.

His Military Fire was still burning fiercely, but the veined patterns were visible, hence he memorized them.

He was not only remembering the way to depict the veined patterns but most importantly, he was apprehending the way of nature behind them.

Every rune path corresponded to a skill, but it was not easy to grasp these Skill Runes.

There were rune paths on the paw gauntlet, but if they were directly applied to another piece of equipment, it would likely be a futile attempt.

While the way of nature could help Ou Yangming leave skill imprints, rune paths had to be changed according to the types of equipment. As for the way to adjust these changes, Ou Yangming needed to study and fathom it on his own.

It would be extremely difficult for other blacksmiths to transfer the Skill Power to pieces of equipment for humans even if they had the runes for a paw gauntlet. In fact, it could be regarded as an impossible task.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was different. He initially knew nothing about the earth series energy.

He could only succeed in carving the runes partly because the big yellow dog had willingly released his abilities, but mainly because he utilized the combination between his Military Fire and his understanding of nature’s power.

Throughout the process, he more or less had his own comprehension of runes.

Moreover, Ou Yangming’s mental power had become too powerful. Given that he had 99 points of mental power, he was not invincible in this world, but it would be quite unlikely to find someone mightier than him.

Ou Yangming could even use brute force if he relied on his remarkable mental power.

Wonderful and mysterious runes appeared in his sea of consciousness at that moment.

The runes were the Stone Awl Runes, which were naturally formed on the paw gauntlet. That said, Ou Yangming incorporated his conception in the process as well. It seemed like there were only slight changes, but they were the reason the runes could be free from the gauntlet’s shackles, allowing them to be transformed into his power.
