Chapter 186 Super Weapon


“Woosh…”


The military saber was swung gently and left a beautiful trace in the air.


On the other hand, an ear-piercing sound of friction was heard coming from the thick and solid bench that was right in front of everyone.


Ou Yangming kicked upward once the saber-light went away, then the tall bench cracked and fell as two halves.


“Nice, nice saber!” The faces of the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors changed a little as they were shocked.


Given the martial arts state of the great ancestors, it no longer made a huge difference if their enemy had a weapon or not because they had already tempered their bodies to be unafraid of sabers or spears.


Unless they were faced with a sharp weapon at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five, which also belonged to an equal-ranked powerhouse, they would normally not be scared.


Nonetheless, after seeing the military saber, the great ancestors experienced an unusual feeling


Using their body to face the military saber?


They suddenly felt like their bodies were more precious, and they should not be preoccupied with a non-living object. Ni Jingtong instructed with a deep voice, “Come, let me take a look at it.”


Ou Yangming responded to the elder and threw the military saber to him.


Ni Jingtong’s face changed as he was somehow afraid of the afterimage in the void. Although he could clearly see with his great vision the saber’s flight path, the lingering fear he had almost made him want to dodge the weapon.


If Ni Jingtong avoided the saber, he would be extremely embarrassed.


Nevertheless, he was a powerhouse who had experienced a hundred battles, hence he instantly got rid of the thought. The great ancestor fixed his gaze on the military saber and grabbed it firmly.


When Ni Jingtong was finally holding and looking at the military saber, he clearly sensed the chill from the blade.


The intense cold intent made him incredibly frightened. As Ni Jingtong channeled his essential Qi into the military saber, he sighed with regret. “It’s such a pity this divine weapon isn’t attached with Unique Attributes.” Ni Xuetian took a step forward and grinned. “Second Uncle, let me try it.”


“Since you train with sabers, this saber… Will be quite suitable for you.” Ni Jingtong smiled.


He tossed the saber to Ni Xuetian.


As said by Ni Jingtong, Ni Xuetian was indeed someone who practiced with sabers. He only turned his hand gently, but he caught the military saber steadily at once. Following that, Ni Xuetian yelled and flashed out of the room to the courtyard.


Everyone else’s vision went blurry, and instead of Ni Xuetian’s figure, they only saw snow-like saber-lights that filled the courtyard. Even though Ni Xuetian controlled his saber technique so that it would not affect the other people, the cold-intent from the saber penetrated into their bones.


By looking at the saber-lights alone, one’s body would freeze. It was possible for one to freeze to death at any time.


Ou Yangming stared with bright eyes at the saber-light, which seemed to have swept over the entire courtyard. The seemingly messy saber-light was actually quite orderly, while each of Ni Xuetian’s steps and slashes carried an unexplainable power.


Once Ni Xuetian performed the step and blade techniques, they echoed with Heaven and Earth. While he did not achieve the thoroughly meticulous state, his state in the integration of Heaven and man was evident.


Ou Yangming did not learn the blade technique on purpose, but he observed in detail the technique’s effect on the surroundings.


Normally, people started memorizing the techniques first, but when they fathomed nature’s mysteries, they could directly see through the natures of the technique or things, and could identify the real core.


“Woosh…”


Ni Xuetian stopped abruptly, and the saber-light vanished right away. As he held the military saber, he uttered joyfully with glowing eyes, “Nice, nice saber!”.


A military saber, which was not bound with any Unique Attribute, was openly praised by Ni Xuetian. There could only be one reason to it—the saber had broken through an ordinary tool’s shackles and became a legendary magic tool.


“Xuetian, how much can your combat power improve if you use this saber?” Ni Jingshen asked excitedly. “By at least 30%,” Ni Xuetian answered after some thought, then he glanced at Ni Yinghong and expressed, “Yinghong, if I use this saber, I have the guts to fight your master without our ancestor’s relic.”


Ou Yangming was shocked that Elder Universe’s impact on others was so huge that Ni Xuetian actually dared not fight him. Needless to say, it was possible that Ni Xuetian was exaggerating, but it was enough to prove Elder Universe’s prominent status in the prefecture.


That said, though Ni Xuetian was being cautious, he unintentionally revealed some information.


The Ni family’s ancestor had left behind a belonging of his. Ou Yangming did not know what it was, but he was sure it was not inferior to the magic tool he smithed.


Ni Jingshen nodded and said to Ou Yangming, “Lil’ Friend Ou, there’s something I’d like to negotiate with you.”



Ou Yangming knew what the great ancestor was going to say. “Senior, there’s no need to negotiate with me because I already gave the saber to Yinghong as a gift.”


“What?” The Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors looked at each other and subconsciously cast strange looks at Ni Yinghong


As graceful as Ni Yinghong was, her face reddened. She gritted her teeth and glared at Ou Yangming. ‘When did you say you’re giving me the military saber?’


In spite of that, she was delighted, and she could not hide her feeling of happiness.


“Grandfather Tian, I’ll give you this saber if you like it.” Ni Yinghong turned her head and flashed an exceptionally charming smile.


Ni Xuetian could not help but feel elated. He would have declined the offer if it was something else. It would not be nice if other people said he was taking advantage of his junior.


However, Ni Xuetian was in love with the incredibly sharp military saber, and he was unwilling to let go of it no matter what.


Ou Yangming cleared his throat all of a sudden. “It’s inappropriate for you to take it away now, isn’t it…” The other people were taken aback, whereas the smile on the great ancestors’ faces froze.


old Craftsman immediately reprimanded, “B*stard, watch what you’re saying! Nobody’s going to call you a mute if you don’t say a word!”


“Old Man, don’t be mad,” Ou Yangming quickly responded and explained, “I still haven’t used the secret Layering Art that you taught me, so this military saber is only a White Slate Weapon!”


The Ni family’s great ancestors were stunned, and they felt guilty. It turned out that they misunderstood the young fellow. Although the military saber had subdued Ni Xuetian, if it could be further improved, why would he reject it?


Ni Xuetian laughed and flashed to the front of Ou Yangming, then he handed over the saber. “Lil’ Friend Ou, please.” Ou Yangming nodded and glanced faintly at Ni Yinghong to wink at her. He was trying to ask, ‘How did I do?’


Ni Yinghong widened her hazel eyes because she did not expect Ou Yangming to be so daring. Nevertheless, since the other people were watching closely, she could only act as though nothing had happened. Ou Yangming smiled proudly as he made his way to the smithing workshop. He had slashed the bench into two with his saber, but there were still many Power Ores on it.


“Senior, do you want to choose the attributes? Or should I just layer with Power Ores?”


“Choose the attributes?” Ni Xuetian was startled. “Have you grasped the way to layer complex attributes?”


It was relatively difficult to layer a single kind of attribute, thus the difficulty of layering complex attributes would be more than twice the original difficulty.


Ou Yangming laughed and responded, “I have some understanding in it, but I’ll be more confident if I’m layering a single type of attribute.”


Ni Xuetian hesitated for a while before he decided. “It’s not easy to smith a magic tool, so we shouldn’t take the risk. You can just layer with the Power Ores. Since a magic tool’s bearing ability is better than an ordinary tool’s, you can do at least triple-layering.” Triple-layering meant that there would be 3 Points[1] of Power in the military saber.


Ni Xuetian would not have given such a harsh term to normal blacksmiths, but Ou Yangming was not normal. Besides, the three great ancestors had heard about what he did for the Fang family.


Since Ou Yangming could carry out double-layering on a piece of equipment at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five, it was expected of him to upgrade a magic tool. Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Okay, I’ll try my best.” He picked up a Power Ore from the ground. Such a rare ore would be troublesome for ordinary people to require, but more than ten of them were casually placed here.


Sure enough, the foundation of a super influential family was beyond a normal person’s imagination. When Ou Yangming’s Military Fire instantly burned and enveloped the magic military saber, Ni Xuetian looked anxious.


His love for the saber was indeed unmatched.


Ou Yangming shook his wrist after a brief moment to toss a Power Ore into the Military Fire. The Power Ore instantly turned into liquid, which was evenly spread across the saber. Even then, he did not plan to stop as he continued to toss more Power Ores into the fire.


The young fellow tossed three ores (TN: Author wrote four ores at first, but triple-layering means three ores are used. We’ve corrected it for the context) into the fire, and everyone held their breaths as they dared not disturb him.


At last, Ou Yangming kicked to retrieve a fourth (TN: Author initially wrote three, but at this point, this should be the fourth ore. We’ve corrected it for the context) Power Ore.


“Ah…” Ni Yunhong exclaimed, but he quickly covered his mouth.


Ni Yinghong’s hands trembled a bit as if he wanted to stop Ou Yangming, but he decided not to do it in the end.


They had developed a nearly-blind trust for Ou Yangming. Finally, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and turned his wrist to curb the Military Fire.


He handed the military saber to Ni Xuetian and expressed, “Senior, by good luck I was able to accomplish the task.”


Ni Xuetian accepted the saber. His eyes glowed when he circulated his essential Qi into it. “A quadruple-layering?”


“That’s right.”


“Nice, heroes are really born from youngsters.” Ni Xuetian laughed out loud. “Big Uncle, Second Uncle, a genius like him should have a close relationship with our clan!”


Ni Jingshen and Ni Jingtong smiled at Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong. In the end, Ni Yinghong hastened away because she could not take it anymore.


On the contrary, Ou Yangming smiled because he was relieved.


Ou Yangming had shown his greatest ability by now, allowing him to gain an advantage first. He figured that the great ancestors would make the right choice no matter what He Liangce was going to offer.


[1] Author initially wrote 4 Points. We’ve corrected it for the context
