Chapter 396 - Top Speed Boots (2/2)

As if it was already arranged, the second Supreme Great Ancestor arrived right after He Xinfang left. It was not a great ancestor from the capital, but Fang Zhaoyang-an experienced great ancestor from the capital.

Back when Ou Yangming first met Fang Zhaoyang, the Supreme Great Ancestor was a superior figure. Now, the great ancestor could not be proud in front of the young fellow anymore.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, my clan doesn’t have any remarkable secret technique or lost art, but I acquired a unique piece of equipment during my travels when I was younger.” Fang Zhaoyang carefully retrieved an item from his bag and showed it to Ou Yangming.

The equipment was by no means ordinary because it was a pair of extremely rare and uncommonly used goggles. Despite that, Ou Yangming did not treat it lightly at all. Fang Zhaoyang was the one who showed him the equipment, after all, and he knew the great ancestor was not one who liked to make jokes.

Ou Yangming picked up the goggles and put them one while Fang Zhaoyang watched eagerly. When he looked around, it seemed like there was no difference at all; when he channeled his essential Qi into the goggles, the world through his eyes changed all of a sudden.

‘I can see near or far according to my desire!

n see nea

This was the first thought that crossed Ou Yangming’s mind, and it left him in awe.

As the young fellow looked into the distance through the goggles, he changed his mind on what he wanted to see. With that, the view far away was somehow drawn closer to him, to the extent that he could clearly see everything.

When he changed his mind once more, the view, which seemed to be within reach, went away and continued to shrink even after it returned to its original state.

While the ability seemed useless because one could only adjust the distance of one’s view, Ou Yangming’s face changed when he thought about something.

He removed the goggles and asked in a deep voice, “Senior Fang, did you prepare the archer’s suit in the past for this?”

Fang Zhaoyang nodded and answered, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you’re right. My clan spared no effort in smithing the archer’s suit because of this treasure.”

Ou Yangming wondered and remarked, “Senior, you put in a lot of effort for the Humans’ disaster.”

The goggles and the archer’s suit were unquestionably prepared to face the spirit beast. Perhaps the goggled would allow one to sneak an attack on the beast, but Ou Yangming was not optimistic about the attack’s damage to the beast.

Fang Zhaoyang smiled bitterly. “During the past calamities in Changlong County and Linlang County, representatives from the Ni family and the He family had to sacrifice themselves to kill the spirit beasts. Given that the cycle repeats, the price to pay is honestly too huge, so I wanted to end it.

Ou Yangming nodded. “Senior, I suppose you’re not here to ask me to smith another pair of goggles, but the most powerful explosive arrows, am I right?”

“You’re a master indeed; you guessed it right away.” Fang Zhaoyang chuckled.

The young fellow returned the goggles to him and noted seriously, “This is great news. I’ll definitely do my best, so don’t worry.”

Fang Zhaoyang stroked his beast and laughed. “Of course, I’m not worried at all.” Ou Yangming lamented after he sent Fang Zhaoyang away.

The Humans did not only comprise mediocre people; there were almighty beings who were doing everything possible to find new ways to kill the spirit beast. It did not matter if they would succeed in the end because the fact that people were trying meant that the Humans had a bright future.

After Fang Zhaoyang left, Ou Yangming suddenly realized that many more Supreme Great Ancestors had shown up in the Ni residence.

He was puzzled when he looked at over ten great ancestors, who were flas.h.i.+ng flattering smiles at him.

Before Ou Yangming began to smith, he made it clear that the great ancestors had to present their greatest inherited secret techniques if they wanted to obtain the most suitable pieces of equipment.

According to Ou Yangming’s idea, even if the great ancestors were willing to do so, they could not make the call in an instant. Who knew, it only took half a day for these people to come round.

Chen Yifan explained with a smile as though he noticed Ou Yangming’s bewilderment, “Brother Ou, He Xinfang came to find us and showed off the boots you refined for him. Hehe, seeing how wonderful the boots are, we were moved.”

It was then that Ou Yangming realized that He Xinfang had done a live advertis.e.m.e.nt for him.

His heart pounded due to excitement when he saw how many Supreme Great Ancestors had come.

He did not have wild wishes that every one of them could show him a new skill, but as long as a third, no… Even if only a fifth of them provided new skills, it would be an exceptionally rare and huge gain.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, I’m truly honored.” Ou Yangming did a fist salutation and stated with a smile, “Please note down the equipment that you need, as well as your best abilities; I’ll take them into careful considerations. I a.s.sure you that I’ll give my all, and I’ll strive to satisfy your requests.”

The Supreme Great Ancestors nodded after some thought, then they noted down their wishes and their abilities.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids continuously twitched after he casually looked at the list. These inherited aristocratic families have profound foundations indeed. I’m dazzled by their all-inclusive skills.’

On the spur of the moment, he was struck with a thought.

‘If someone can include all these skills in a piece of equipment, won’t that person be invincible?’

That said, it was just wishful thinking because no equipment could withstand such a smithing process.
