“M-master, how did you do it?” Multi-armed King Kong widened its eyes and asked in disbelief. “Master, your pieces of equipment… They’re priceless!” The goshawk nodded and cooed like a pigeon. “Their values are truly beyond measure for the Birds.” If beings from the other races cultivated to the point where they would soon come in contact with the world’s immense force, they had many ways to temporarily avoid the punishments. On the other hand, the Birds lacked in this aspect. Unless they changed their living habit by not flying in the sky, they would be struck by the thunderbolts.
Multi-armed King Kong scratched its head and asked, “Master, to what extent can your pieces of thunderbolt-resistant equipment weaken thunderbolts?”
Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “These pieces of equipment can form unique air walls, and each wall can divert a part of a thunderbolt to the air. I suppose they follow a certain proportion, so if the pieces of equipment are stacked, a thunderbolt power can be weakened by 80% and above.” “80%?”
Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk gasped. Their eyes shone brighter than before.
They made a rough estimation when they observed the process earlier, but they were deeply in awe when they heard the exact answer from Ou Yangming. The Heavenly Thunderbolt could destroy Heaven and Earth, but only the creams of the creams in the world were qualified to face the power.
Perhaps those people might still be killed by the most powerful Heavenly Thunderbolt but if the thunderbolt power was reduced by 80% or more, they would be able to go against it with ease.
In other words, Ou Yangming’s equipment set was more valuable than even the best defensive treasure in the world.
Seeing as the creatures were shocked, Ou Yangming added with a smile, “You shouldn’t think too much. I meant that a thunderbolt power can be reduced by 80% and above if a suit is used. If there’s only one piece of equipment, it can only weaken the power by 5% at most.”
The pieces of equipment that he smithed were only attached with one attribute-a Thunderbolt-resistant attribute.
Every piece of equipment had a thunderbolt-resistant proportion between 3% and 5%. Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming put on everything, he was surprised because the attributes would form a unique aura, causing the overall attribute to be greatly improved.
When Ou Yangming was equipped with a helmet, armor, a pair of arm guards, a pair of greaves, a shield, a cloak, as well as a pair of boots, his resistance against a thunderbolt was upgraded to 80% and above.
The boost was so great that it was almost indescribable. It was also Ou Yangming’s first time stumbling upon something like that.
Nevertheless, it was great news for Ou Yangming. In particular, the suit combination drastically changed the values of the individual pieces of equipment.
“Master, you must make a set of those pieces of equipment for me!” Multi-armed King Kong suddenly lay prone on the ground and gently placed its smallest finger on one of its hands beside Ou Yangming as it begged him.
The goshawk quickly reacted too. It flapped its wings and shrieked several times.
As for Big Yellow, it wagged its tail proudly and was not worried at all. This was because Ou Yangming would never forget the big yellow dog and would always count it in when he had something good to share.
Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and patted Multi-armed King Kong’s finger. “Don’t worry, I’ll smith a full thunderbolt-resistant suit for you once I gather enough stones.”
Multi-armed King Kong blinked its large eyes and asked, “Master, if a piece of equipment isn’t a magic tool, can it withstand the Heavenly Thunderbolt?”
The young fellow was slightly stunned because the problem occurred to him for the first time. Ever since Ou Yangming could smith magic tools-especially magic skill tools-in batches, he seemed to have gotten a wrong misunderstanding. Regardless of the type of equipment, he always targeted to make them into magic tools.
Although there were plenty of peculiar stones in this world, they were certainly not endless.
If Ou Yangming wanted to smith a suit for Multi-armed King Kong, he would need to consume an unimaginable amount of ores. If he were to use the bizarre stones as raw materials, he would likely not be able to complete an entire suit even if he used up all of the available stones.
After all, the queer stones were limited unliked featured steel.
If Ou Yangming smithed a set of Fine Grade ordinary tools for Multi-armed King Kong…
He scanned the king kong from head to toe and nodded as he was eager to try.
Ordinary tools were obviously not as good as magic tools, but if they were meant to be thunderbolt-resistant, Fine Grade ones would be enough to do the job.
The goshawk’s eyes lit up, and it cried again, which was its way of fawning over the young fellow.
Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh. “Don’t worry. If King Kong gets a suit, you won’t be left out.”
The goshawk finally shut up, but its eyes were almost overflowing with happiness.
Indeed, the biggest threat to the Birds’ was not their natural enemies, but the weather. Given that they soared in the sky, they were constantly faced with different harsh weathers. Among nature’s immense forces, the thunderbolt power was unquestionably the most forceful and the hardest to guard against.
If the threat from the thunderbolts could be reduced to a minimum, the Birds would surely be elated.
Ou Yangming touched his chin and noted, “The pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant equipment can weaken thunderbolts, but there’s also a limit to them. If the thunderbolts are too powerful, while the runes on the pieces of equipment will still be effective, the pieces of equipment will be destroyed.
Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were struck dumb. They became hesitant.
The king kong expressed after some time, “Master, we’re repelled by the universe’s force in this realm, but it can’t be mentioned on equal terms with the situation in our realm. Judging from our physical qualities as spirit beasts, we should be able to protect ourselves with ordinary pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment.”
“Master, King Kong is right. Ordinary tools of Fine Grade are at the limit of this world; the so-called magic tools shouldn’t have existed in this world on a large scale in the first place. If King Kong and I are given ordinary thunderbolt-resistant tools, we should be able to withstand the repulsion from this world’s power,” the goshawk stated after some thought.
Multi-armed King Kong suddenly turned to look at Big Yellow and said, “Master, if this fella advances into a spirit beast, I’m afraid it won’t be able to endure what’s to come.”
Ou Yangming responded with a smile, “Big Yellow isn’t as huge as the two of you, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me to smith a suit for it.”
Perhaps the peculiar stones in this world were insufficient for Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk, but they were more than enough for the big yellow dog.
Big Yellow wagged its tail cheerfully and barked at Multi-armed King Kong. The king kong and the goshawk exchanged glances and were both envious of the dog. ‘It’s true that Master treats the big yellow dog differently.’
While the two spirit beasts were jealous, they were also somewhat relieved. Big Yellow was only a half-spirit beast at the peak, after all, and was far from Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk. If Ou Yangming had abandoned the yellow dog after he received help from the spirit beasts…
In comparison, the giant spirit beasts would rather have a master like Ou Yangming than one that was ungrateful. “Master, given that the Insects sent two spirit beasts, something is off. They’ve come with ill intentions,” the goshawk commented.
“You’re right. For generations, none of the races sent more than one spirit beast to our realm. What’s going on with the Insects?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows, then he looked at Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk. “Did they raise their stakes because they’re aware of your existence?”
Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk had innocent looks on their faces. The former replied to Ou Yangming, “Master, we had to get past the interspatial disorder when we descended, and it isn’t an easy process. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
The king kong answered after a moment of hesitation, “Unless those Almighty Beings opened some passages. That said, why would they bother about something as trivial as this…”
“Trivial…” Ou Yangming mumbled but began to feel bitter about it.
The Humans’ disaster was such an important matter to the people but was regarded as insignificant by some beings. Ou Yangming made a firm decision at the spur of the moment.
‘One day, I must become that kind of powerhouse because only then I’ll be qualified to control the fates of myself, my closed ones, and the other people in my race.’ Multi-armed King Kong and the others were not aware of the psychological change that Ou Yangming was experiencing. They only noticed him having strong emotions all of a sudden, where he went from being dispirited to highly-spirited in the blink of an eye.
Since Ou Yangming made up his mind, he was not going to bring trouble upon himself anymore.
“Goshawk, why did you suddenly bring that up? Do you have a good suggestion?”
The goshawk nodded. “The Insects are skilled at hiding, so even the two of us might not be able to find them. Besides, this monstrous thing is too gigantic to enter the city.”
At this point, Multi-armed King Kong glared at the goshawk, but the goshawk simply ignored
it.
“Master, if you have another spirit beast by your side, your safety will be guaranteed.”
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He quickly turned to look at Big Yellow, which was staring at the goshawk in disbelief.
If another spirit beast was needed, was Ou Yangming not left with only one option?
“Goshawk, you have an idea to upgrade our strengths?” Ou Yangming was surprised yet overjoyed.
The goshawk nodded but shook its head again. “Master, I can’t help you, but I can try to help this little fella.”
“Why?”
“Because… You’re not a normal person, so my method won’t be effective for you,” the goshawk answered honestly.
Ou Yangming was moved. He glanced at Multi-armed King Kong, which seemed to be deep in thoughts, and he instantly remembered the superb powerhouse in the dark.
He asked the big yellow dog after some time, “Big Yellow, what do you think?” Big Yellow nodded without any hesitation and barked gleefully.
‘I couldn’t have asked for more—it’s all that I was wishing for!’
