“It feels wonderful, doesn’t it? This is the Ni family’s real Land of Inheritance,” Ni Yinghong stated with a smile.
Ou Yangming nodded. Although he already knew, he did not show it on his face.
Struck with a thought, he raised a question. “What is the He family’s secret realm like?”
Ni Yinghong shook her head. “That’s the He family’s biggest secret. Similar to our clan’s Land of Inheritance, other than the great ancestors, nobody knows about it.”
Ou Yangming deeply agreed. He would never expose the secret like how he kept the purple Military Fire and the Devouring attribute hidden.
Apart from having a simulated body in the spiritual world, nothing else changed.
“Lil’ Ming, if you’d like to fulfill your wish, you should look around as much as possible,” Ni Yinghong suggested and told the young fellow seriously, “You’ll gain many great advantages here.”
“Okay.” Ou Yangming nodded. He looked deeply at Ni Yinghong, then his body, which was transformed from his consciousness, floated toward the mark for martial arts.
Ni Yinghong sighed as she watched him leave.
Judging from Ou Yangming’s character, he probably pursued smithing art. Despite that, he ignored it when he entered the spiritual world, and he headed straight to the martial arts area. His intention was evident.
However, wanting to kill a spirit beast…
Ni Yinghong shook her head. Even if Ou Yangming was a talented genius, he might not necessarily surpass the many powerhouses from the past generations. Besides, several experts were also helpless against a spirit beast, so how could he succeed?
She figured that the Supreme Great Ancestors in her clan let Ou Yangming enter the Land of Inheritance not because they believed in his capability, but because they were returning his favors and were trying to calm him down.
On the other hand, the big yellow dog wagged its tail and sat down as though it was enjoying the amazing feeling from the unique environment. Ou Yangming began searching the instant his consciousness entered the martial arts zone.
He previously avoided the martial arts option on purpose because he was fearful, but this time, he no longer needed to shy away from it because he entered the world openly.
The martial arts option contained endless marvelous colors too, each one representing a unique skill and its cultivation method.
Ou Yangming reached out his virtual arm to grab one of the lusters, but it turned and avoided him as if it sensed him.
The young fellow was startled but he did not have a target in mind when he reached out earlier. Since the luster was unreliable, he automatically switched direction and aimed for another luster.
This time, he successfully grabbed it, but when he employed his consciousness on it, he was taken aback.
This was because the light did not hold any martial arts knowledge; it was an empty shell that only looked good on the outside.
Ou Yangming blinked and had an absurd feeling.
Ni Yinghong’s spiritual wave turned into a voice at that timely moment. “Lil’ Ming, half of the martial arts legacies are empty, so don’t waste your time and energy.”
It was a great fortune that one could enter the spiritual world.
That said, a certain amount of mental power would be consumed in the world. For them, every hint of mental power was precious and could not be wasted.
Ou Yangming understood right away, hence he gave up the luster and tried to capture another one.
He figured after a brief while that the radiance in the martial arts area could not be caught so easily.
The nimble lights, which could dodge his arm, were definitely valuable. As for the steady and still ones, which were of a greater portion, they contained nothing.
Ou Yangming missed the time when he forcefully entered the spiritual world.
Back then, he entered with mighty mental power and his consciousness, where he did not have a virtual body, thus he could control his consciousness a few times faster.
If he had the same speed now, it would be a piece of cake for him to grab the lusters.
Needless to say, having a virtual body was highly advantageous too; he was protected by a mysterious power in the spiritual world. Even though Ou Yangming was still slowly consuming his mental power, the difference between this time and the previous time was like trickling water and floodwater. As such, he could carry on with the process much longer this time.
Ou Yangming collected himself and stopped imagining the spiritual world. Instead, he became fully focused, and his virtual body became steadier. Sure enough, when Ou Yangming reached out his hand again later, he managed to catch a colored ribbon, which was drifting fast.
The colored ribbon was unstable, but Ou Yangming seemed to have identified its path in advance, so he always had an advantage and he finally seized the ribbon.
Ou Yangming successfully clutched the colored ribbon, but he was feeling more in awe.
The spiritual world had power far greater than he had ever imagined.
In other words, the simulated world was more real than he thought.
Ou Yangming’s comprehension in the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, could be reflected in the spiritual world.
‘In this case, who exactly is the powerhouse who created this world?’ He wondered.
As of now, Ou Yangming was probably an ant as compared to a powerhouse like that.
The young fellow finally curbed his thought after a long time, and he suppressed the extreme feeling of fear.
As expected, a martial arts skill was stored in the colored ribbon. It was a boxing technique, and he finished learning it through his mental conception. Much to his surprise, the technique did not feel much inferior to the Chen family’s Suicidal Throat-locking Spear.
The Suicidal Throat-locking Spear was the Chen family’s ultimate technique, and Ou Yangming was incredibly amazed when Great Ancestor Chen Dishou performed the mysterious spear technique.
Now, Ou Yangming could anyhow capture a martial arts light ribbon in the spiritual world to learn a martial arts skill that was somewhat on par with the spear technique. The thought of it was frightening. Following that, Ou Yangming floated toward another colored ribbon.
It did not matter what exactly the spiritual world was. Since he had already entered the world, he would do his best to improve his power.
As soon as his body touched the second ribbon, it became completely immersed in it.
Chapter 238 - The Peak Of Yin Grade
Chapter 238 The Peak Of Yin Grade
When Ni Yinghong slowly opened her eyes and looked sideways, she noticed the big yellow dog’s intelligent-looking eyes.
She then looked up with an indecipherable expression at Ou Yangming, who sat with his legs crossed.
“Woof…” The big yellow dog barked.
Ni Yinghong turned her head and whispered, “Don’t distract him.”
The big yellow dog was speechless. It thought, ‘It won’t be easy for you to distract him even if you want to.’
Ni Yinghong supported her chin with her hand as he studied Ou Yangming closely. The young man was not too handsome, but he had angular features, and he gave off a rich manly aura.
Eventually, the young lady’s face reddened a little.
The big yellow dog glanced at her unhappily, then it approached her and rubbed its head against her. “Big Yellow, stop fooling around,” Ni Yinghong uttered softly as she was shocked. Subsequently, she mumbled, “Why isn’t Lil’ Ming awake yet? What level is his mental power at?”
The two people and the dog entered the spiritual world at the same time, but after staying there for an hour, Ni Yinghong and the big yellow dog were forced to exit.
Ni Yinghong knew Ou Yangming had mighty mental power, or he could not have taken the form of the god of fire in front of Elder Universe.
Nonetheless, it was not until this moment she truly experienced the mightiness of
the young fellow’s mental power.
Three days and three nights.
For three days and three nights, Ou Yangming was immersed in the spiritual world, and even then, he did not show any signs of exhaustion.
It was as though his virtual body in the spiritual world was not a burden at all.
That said, how was it possible?
In actuality, Ou Yangming had great mental power, but even with the upgrades from his equipment set, the power was not at such an exaggerated level.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was entirely different from his previous visit.
With Ni Yinghong’s guidance, he became authorized and was no longer repelled by the power in the spiritual world. Besides, a small-scaled Runes Formation was constantly operated in his sea of consciousness.
The formation map’s effect must not be treated lightly. Not only was it assisting Ou Yangming to cultivate his mental power all the time, but most importantly, it could prolong the duration of him using the power to a great extent. Therefore, Ou Yangming still had energy after staying in the spiritual world for three days and three nights.
Despite that, one could imagine the pressure that was posed on Ni Yinghong.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s closed eyes twitched, and his body released a peculiar mental power wave.
Ni Yinghong’s eyes wandered about, and she quickly regained her senses. When she thought about how she was acting like a love-struck fool just now, her face turned red again. The young lady then fluttered out of the room and arrived at an empty spot as if she was avoiding something.
On the other hand, the big yellow dog looked at Ni Yinghong strangely because it could not perceive a lady’s mind, which was as deep as the ocean.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply as his consciousness finally left the spiritual world. The instant he opened his eyes, a bizarre light was seen in his eyes for a split second.
The big yellow dog tensed up right away as though it saw a giant ancient beast, and it subconsciously became alert.
Even though the dog knew Ou Yangming would never hurt it as long as he was not mad, it could not neglect the intense aura, which was released from his body.
For some reason, Big Yellow felt that Ou Yangming’s body underwent an unexplainable and weird change.
The divine light in Ou Yangming’s lights slowly disappeared, then he focused his vision and fixed his gaze on the big yellow dog in the end. “Woof!” The big yellow dog barked to express, ‘I’ve been guarding you by your
side.’
“Big Yellow, thank you.” Ou Yangming beamed and reached out his hand to caress the big dog. He looked up and exerted a bit of force to stand up. Instead of asking about Ni Yinghong’s whereabouts, he simply left the house.
The big yellow dog followed quietly behind him, but it was still curious.
Once Ou Yangming left the building, he nodded slightly at Ni Yinghong, who was on an empty ground. Following that, he went far away from the house and took a deep breath.
The inhalation lasted for a long time, and it was like his stomach became a bottomless hole such that he could fully take in the air in the world.
Ni Yinghong’s face changed, and she shifted to the back of the big yellow dog. Big Yellow sulked. ‘You’re using me as a shield again…’
Even so, it did not reject Ni Yinghong at all because it would have gone over to her even if she did not approach it. At last, Ou Yangming stopped inhaling, but he yelled and soared into the sky. A series of cracking sounds were heard coming from his bones as if every bone in his body rubbed against each other destructively.
The sounds immediately connected, including the top of Ou Yangming’s head.
Finally, once every sound rose to the extreme, Ou Yangming roared out loud.
“Hah,”
A strong wind accompanied his voice. Ou Yangming widened his eyes and stared at the space ahead, causing Ni Yinghong and the big yellow dog to be frightened. If Ou Yangming was like a giant ancient beast when he first opened his eyes after he awakened, he was a beast that had warmed up and was ready to hunt at that moment.
The giant beast was more fearsome than it was when it just woke up.
Big Yellow took a big step sideways to protect Ni Yinghong with its huge body.
The dog was baffled. Ou Yangming’s martial arts cultivation base was far from its cultivation base, but why was his aura so intense that it was terrifying? As such, even Big Yellow wanted to escape with its tail tucked between its legs.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not launch an attack. After widening his eyes, he moved into a stance and began to box. He took a step forward and launched a hit with his fist.
It was a simple step and punch, but a strong wind blew in front of him.
The big yellow dog was dumbfounded once more. It was not out of the ordinary for a martial arts powerhouse to produce such a forceful wind through a fist force, but it was not easy to produce the momentum. It would make sense if Ou Yangming gave his all for the punch, but it was obvious that he punched casually.
It was worth noting that the big yellow dog could not go all out for every attack it made although it was a half-spirit beast in Extreme Grade.
However, even if a powerful half-spirit beast casually attacked with its claw, it could not produce such momentum.
The big yellow dog was struck with a fearsome thought at that instant, ‘Could a great-ancestor-level superb spirit beast be hidden beneath Ou Yangming’s skin?’
“Woosh…”
Another punch was made. Ou Yangming used lesser power than he did for the previous punch, but it was a continuous attack as it included power from the previous punch too, which was astonishing and incomprehensible.
With that, the momentum and power of the new punch were more exaggerated than the one before.
Another step forward, followed by another punch made.
The third punch was made in a flash, resulting in ear-splitting “cracks” in the void. They sounded like they could pierce through one’s eardrums, and they were so sharp that one would feel flighty and impatient.
Ni Yinghong furrowed her eyebrows and raised her hands, causing a strange power to surround her and the big yellow dog.
It was mental power, and it was being operated in an incredibly queer way.
Before entering the Land of Inheritance, Ni Yinghong never knew such a subtle control method for mental power existed in the word, and she gained a lot in her clan’s inheritance world.
Ou Yangming slowed down abruptly. While facing forward, he took his final step and made a final punch.
It was the fourth punch, which no longer withstood only a fist force and strong wind because it underwent an enormous change.
The cracking sounds in the air became thunderous explosions, and the might of that final punch was enough to vaguely trigger the purest natural power between Heaven and Earth.
‘How’s that possible?!’
Ni Yinghong and the big yellow dog had the same thought at that moment.
Not to mention a Yin Grade martial artist, even a Supreme Great Ancestor would have to retreat to avoid the fist’s might.
“Boom…”
As Ou Yangming finally launched the hit, the space in front of him went through an untypical change.
The grass and trees seemed to have been suppressed, by which they lowered their heads. When the fist wind whistled, it was as sharp as a blade.
In just a few breaths, Ou Yangming unleashed the terrifying pressure to the extreme, making the two onlookers’ hearts beat fast.
When the unusual occurrence in the void slowly disappeared, Ou Yangming withdrew his fist, but he looked slightly pale. It was like his essence, energy, and spirit were consumed by half each for the punch.
Nonetheless, his eyes made him look high-spirited, and the aura from his body was still fluctuating abnormally.
Ni Yinghong stared at him for some time before she uttered with a curious look on his face, “Yin Grade, Class Five.”
> The aura released by Ou Yangming had arrived at the peak of Yin Grade Class Five.
It did not seem like a substantial martial arts boundary, but it was shocking when Ou Yangming was the one who was in the state. Moreover, Ni Yinghong was in awe that a Yin Grade martial artist could make such a magnificent punch.
After all, it was different from the god of fire’s power, which was released through mental power. The punch merely contained martial arts’ power! Ou Yangming turned slightly and put down his fists. It was only then when he looked like he had walked out of his world.
He turned to smile at Ni Yinghong. “Elder Sister Ying, how was my punch?”
Ni Yinghong pondered for some time and pouted her lips as she responded, “It’s acceptable.”
The big yellow dog twitched its eyes and said to itself, ‘What do you mean it’s acceptable? How about you show me the same punch?’
Ou Yangming laughed out loud as he was delighted and overjoyed.
“Lil’ Ming, what fist technique was that?” Ni Yinghong asked. “I created it myself, and it’s called the Spiritual Fist,” Ou Yangming answered proudly
Chapter 239 - The Spiritual Fist
“The Spiritual Fist? What’s that…” Ni Yinghong’s eyes wandered about, then she asked abruptly, “Is the fist technique related to mental power?”
Ni Yinghong sounded like she was in disbelief when she raised the question; the big yellow dog was not much better too because it widened its eyes dumbfoundedly.
Nonetheless, the fuss they were making was not uncalled for because they were truly shocked by Ou Yangming’s answer.
The Spiritual Fist, as the name suggested, was a combination of mental power and fist technique. Despite that, mental power was mental power while a martial arts fist art was a martial arts fist art. The two of them belonged to completely different systems, so how could they be merged? At the very least, Ni Yinghong had not heard of anything similar because Ou Yangming brought it up. There seemed to be an invisible barrier between mental power and martial arts cultivation base, and it was a natural moat that could not be broken by even Elder Universe, who was a powerhouse at the peak of Extreme Grade.
