Chapter 480 - Spiritual World (1/2)

Ou Yangming smiled and asked, “Little fella, you’re interested in this?”

The young fellow had to use his Military Fire when he smithed earlier, but he did not expect that he would draw the little bird’s attention once he was done. ‘Can the little fella understand smithing art?’ Ou Yangming pondered again and was relieved.

Given the little bird’s red light, which was released when it self-ignited, could trigger the Military Fire, it meant that the bird’s power and the fire could echo each other at a distance. If that was the case, it would not be difficult for it to respond to the smithing of equipment too.

Ou Yangming moved his wrist again to release a red light. As the Military Fire flickered, he continued to melt another bizarre stone.

Nonetheless, it was then when the little bird flapped its wings and flew to the front of Ou Yangming, then it entered the red Military Fire recklessly.

The young fellow’s face changed. He was well aware of the Military Fire’s power, which could easily melt peculiar stones, let alone one’s body. In actuality, if it was not because Multi-armed King Kong was too humongous, he was confident that he could defeat it with his Military Fire.

Seeing as the little bird entered the Military Fire without warning, his heart was almost at his throat.

Although he knew the little bird’s power and his Military Fire could echo each other from afar, it did not mean that the bird could resist the fire with its body.

With a flash of thought, Ou Yangming curbed his Military Fire without any hesitation, but he was ready to save the little bird at any time.

Who knew, he soon realized that he was worried for nothing.

The little bird was standing on his wrist and was unharmed. In fact, the parts of his body that were burned by the Military Fire just now were not burnt at all. It seemed like that fire, which could melt the peculiar stones, could not hurt it at all.

Afterward, the little bird turned to look at Ou Yangming in confusion as if it was asked him why he suddenly stopped.

Ou Yangming was stunned for a while. He could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

‘I was blindly worrying indeed. Since this little fella can self-ignite through a method similar to the Military Fire, it won’t be afraid of the fire at all.’

Just as he shook his head and wanted to release his Military Fire again, the little bird flapped its wings out of the blue. Following that, a red light emerged from its body and quickly spread out to envelope the rare stone.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he felt some heat on his hand. Even so, the heat did not hurt him at all, and it felt rather comfortable instead.

This was just his feeling but what shocked him most was the queer stone that was being wrapped up by the red light.

The stone was being softened at the speed of light, but it did not melt. It was being kneaded like plasticine into an arm guard.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched violently this time. He was not the one controlling the light, but he could sense the changes in it. Furthermore, the arm guard was being formed faster than the one he smithed.

It was worth noting that he smithed using a bizarre stone, which was a treasure that could be used to smith magic tools.

Even though the Military Fire could restrain the stone by easily melting it, the process required a certain time and energy.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming felt like he would willingly admit his defeat after he witnessed the little bird release its red light. The little bird carried out the process effortlessly as if it was eating or drinking like a normal person.

The effect was simply dumbfounding and unbelievable.

Ou Yangming did not know he was looking at the little bird as how other people looked at him when he smithed magic tools.

“Y-you can smith pieces of equipment too?” He looked oddly at the little bird and mumbled, “That’s strange. Were you transformed from a human?”

In his mind, only humans knew smithing art. After all, even the formidable Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk knew nothing about the technique. Needless to say, their remarkable abilities were enough to make up for the gap of having pieces of equipment. Even if Wu Yuanwei was fully armed, Ou Yangming did not think the goshawk and the king kong would be at a disadvantage.

The fact that the little bird grasped the smithing technique almost overturned Ou Yangming’s perception.

On the other hand, the little bird was slightly startled, and it glared at the young fellow furiously.

Ou Yangming blinked and wondered, then he slapped his thigh and said, “I know—your master must’ve taught you!”

The little bird was infuriated this time. It slapped its wings and flew up, then it landed nimbly on Ou Yangming’s head. The bird held back its anger as it twitched its beak, but it kept flapping its wings and hopping continuously.

Ou Yangming reached out his hand helplessly and placed it on his head as he attempted to grab the troublemaker. Despite that, the little bird was nimble, and the young fellow did not intend to hurt it, hence he failed to catch it.

The little bird seemed to have cooled down after moving around for some time, thus it flew back into the birdcage.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and let go of the matter. He did not want to look into it anymore.

That said, just as he picked up the arm guard to inspect it seriously, the little bird jumped onto his hand again and stared at him with its small round eyes.

“You don’t want me to touch the equipment you smithed?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows as he was struck dumb.
