Chapter 483 - Requesting To Meet Late At Night (1/2)
Ou Yangming scoffed and suddenly fell b.u.t.t first on the ground. Blood could be faintly seen coming out of his nose.
He had a splitting headache at the moment as though numerous little knives slashed his brain and stirred it.
“Chirp… Are you okay? Quickly get well soon and don’t scare me!”
The little red bird had long recovered its original look in the real world and was hopping around Ou Yangming. It kept blabbing away because it was frightened.
Ou Yangming gritted his teeth in pain but still glanced at the little fellow. “This is strange—this little fella can actually speak human language, but I was clueless because it didn’t expose itself throughout these 2 days of being together.’
He waved his hand gently and said, “I’m fine, so stop shouting.”
Before entering the spiritual world, Ou Yangming was rather afraid of the little bird’s origin, hence he was always wary against it. Now, he knew the little fellow was from the Phoenixes, but it was still young and was almost equivalent to a human toddler.
Although the little bird had memories from its bloodline inheritance, Ou Yangming could not treat it as an adult due to its race.
Needless to say, this was also because he possessed the Military Fire. If anyone else had spoken to the little red bird in that way, it would have spat fire at that person to burn him or her into ashes.
Sure enough, the little bird was relieved after seeing that Ou Yangming was safe. It blinked and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“Much better.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and calmed down for a while before he sighed and remarked, “The Phoenixes’ secret techniques are really something else.”
“Of course,” the little bird uttered proudly.
“I meant that one has to change one’s mental power property to learn the Phoenixes’ secret techniques because the consumption is huge. In fact, one will be doomed if one makes a slight mistake!” Ou Yangming looked at it snappily.
The little bird blinked and found it strange. “That’s not true, why didn’t I ever feel that way…”
Ou Yangming was speechless. The little bird was a part of the Phoenixes, thus it was naturally easy for it to learn the secret techniques.
If the secret techniques were cultivated by the other races, it would be incredibly tough and dangerous instead.
Ou Yangming could only pick up one of the secret techniques with ease due to the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness. With the fire’s help, he saw through every hurdle without problems and learned the technique in one attempt. Nevertheless, the young fellow was a human, after all, so the sudden transformation was a heavy burden for his body. In particular, the mental power consumption arrived at an indescribable value.
Fortunately, Ou Yangming was not the person he used to be. Not only had his mental power broken through the world’s limit, but his essential Qi was also at the peak of Extreme Grade. Most importantly, his body const.i.tution became similar to a spirit beast’s after he was tempered by the Heavenly Thunderbolts.
His unbelievable growths were the exact reason he managed to hold on.
Despite that, Ou Yangming noticed that his physical quality seemed to have improved again after this cultivation. Besides, he also knew he only ended up being worn out because it was his first time cultivating a secret technique from the Phoenixes. Nonetheless, since the young fellow endured the first time, for his second and third time or as he cultivated more techniques, the intense reaction will reduce. In the end, he would be able to cultivate the secret techniques with ease as the little bird could.
The little bird shouted all of a sudden, “Hey, someone’s looking for you outside!”
Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, but he forced himself to get up. He felt his strength being recovered quickly, and his head no longer hurt. Even though the young fellow was not as clear-headed as he was in the beginning, at the very least, there were no negative impacts. When he twitched his ears, he instantly heard the noises outside.
Fang Zhaoyang—an experienced Supreme Great Ancestor—was talking to Big Yellow outside. He wanted to meet Ou Yangming, but the big yellow dog refused to let him in. The great ancestors could not tell the dog’s real foundation, he dared not barge in.
Not to mention this was the Ni family’s territory, even if the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors turned a blind eye against him, Fang Zhaoyang could not defeat Big Yellow too. Moreover, the goshawk—a legitimate spirit bird—was keeping guard on the other side of the courtyard. Even if the great ancestor plucked up his courage, he would not use force at all.
Ou Yangming’s face changed when he listened closely.
This was because he heard Old Craftsman’s voice. Given that Fang Zhaoyang was thick-faced and refused to leave, he figured that the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors must be aware. However, since the great ancestors did not come to stop Fang Zhaoyang, it meant that there was a tacit understanding between them. Old Craftsman could not help but become curious when he heard the noises outside, so he went out to take a look.
Ou Yangming cleared his throat and said, “Lil’ Red, stay here to play while I go out to handle something.”
“What is it? I want to go too!” The little bird’s eyes lit up in curiosity.
“It’s something related to the Humans, so you don’t need to bother.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.
“No, I insist!” The little bird was being unreasonable. It finally found its kind in this place where there was scarce spiritual power. It would not matter if they had not met but since they met and got to know each other, the bird was not going to let him go.
Ou Yangming was helpless. “Your ident.i.ty is too shocking. If the others…”
Before he could even finish, he noticed a flash of red light in front of him. The young fellow tensed up, and the first thing that crossed his mind was how fast the little bird was.
