Chapter 479 - Birdcage (1/2)

The next day, Ou Yangming brought a gorgeous birdcage with an opening on only one side into the room.

Under his supervision, the capable craftsmen in the city put in a lot of effort to smith the birdcage. The young fellow naturally could not constrain the little bird in a typical birdcage because he did not want it to misunderstand him.

Besides, Ou Yangming suspected that the little fellow could not be contained even if he smiled a magic birdcage using peculiar stones.

Therefore, although the birdcage was extremely luxurious, only half of it was covered. Inside it, objects such as a bed fit for the little red bird’s size, a bell, and so on were laid out.

n.o.body knew why Ou Yangming suddenly requested this but given his ident.i.ty, numerous people fought for the job the moment he made the request. As such, everything was prepared after just one night.

Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming carried the birdcage and walked past the goshawk and Big Yellow, the two formidable spirit beasts had strange looks on their faces.

In particular, the goshawk seemed to be losing its balance.

Even so, regardless of how shocked the two spirit beasts were, they did not step forward to stop the young fellow. In fact, Big Yellow was curious and thrilled as though it wanted to watch the fun.

Ou Yangming pushed the door open and placed the birdcage on the head of the bed. “Little fella, I prepared this gift for you. Do you like it?”

The birdcage was much bigger than normal cages. It could not be compared with his bed, but the little bird had ample s.p.a.ce to move around inside.

All of a sudden, the little bird on the bed opened its eyes and stared at the birdcage. There was a complicated look in its eyes, and it seemed to be enraged.

“What is it? You don’t like it?” Ou Yangming was shocked.

The little bird tilted its head to study Ou Yangming seriously as if it was trying to distinguish if he meant to insult it.

With that, the human and the bird stared at each other for a long time before the latter no longer seemed aggressive. This was because it did not notice a look of ridicule from the young fellow’s eyes, but seriousness and care.

It was evident that Ou Yangming treated it like a normal bird and did not have other intentions, but it was also the reason the little bird was upset.

Seeing as the little bird was not going to reject the gift, Ou Yangming reached out to carry it up and placed it on the soft bedding in the birdcage. The bedding was specially made, hence it was much better than that of the big bed in terms of comfort.

The little bird twitched its wings as if it was protesting against something, but it relaxed after a while.

This was because it noticed various sparkly gems on the birdcage, as well as calming unique sandalwood on the inside. They were carefully prepared by the craftsmen, who wanted to fawn over Ou Yangming. The young fellow was actually clueless, but the little bird gave him the credit.

The little bird lay on the bedding and reached out its claws to touch the items around it from time to time. It either made loud ringing sounds with the bell or kicked the iron bar hung at the top of the cage.

Ou Yangming grinned. As expected, the little fellow was playful.

He exhaled deeply and curbed his thought, then he sat with his legs crossed beside the cage.

After experiencing several strikes from the Heavenly Thunderbolts, his mental power had finally broken through the 100-points limit and arrived at 110 points.

The crystal ball that belonged to the Sky-devouring Devil G.o.d’s follower gave Ou Yangming great advantages. Not only did his mental power go past the limit but most importantly, the crystal ball carried an incredibly unique secret technique.

His first crystal ball helped him grasp the secret technique to refine interspatial bags, whereas the second one possessed a Spiritual Condensation and Forging Technique.

In actuality, the secret required one to hurt oneself first before hurting others, and it must not be normally used. Nevertheless, if one faced a powerful enemy, as long as the disparity between both sides was too huge that it could not be made up, one would stand a chance by employing the secret technique.

The release of mental power for living beings was equivalent to using essential Qi; there would always be a limit value.

If one had 100 points of power, it did not mean that one could blast out all of that power in one punch. It would be quite remarkable if one could release a tenth of one’s peak value in one go.

However, with the Spiritual Forging Technique, one could condense one’s mental power in advance, causing a 20% to 30% release in one move.

This was more than merely the doubling of one’s power. If one utilized the technique well, one could easily challenge someone of a higher rank.

Needless to say, the release of such a mighty power would greatly damage one’s body. Unless it was absolutely necessary, n.o.body would adopt the technique.

Ou Yangming was slowly cultivating the secret technique in his sea of consciousness at the moment. His notable mental power first used a certain point as the center, then it turned into waves and kept cras.h.i.+ng toward the point.

Owing to the unique control of the technique, the point coagulated without dispersing. It was like a firm rock in a turbulent stream as it maintained a firm ground amidst the monstrous waves.

At the same time, the point also carried a tremendously wonderful ability. It kept adsorbing Ou Yangming’s mental power and grew tougher under the spiritual storm’s attack, causing its power to slowly increase.
