Chapter 396 Top Speed Boots

As strange runes slowly surfaced on the insides of the boots, Ou Yangming’s mental conception responded to them too.

Although he still could not analyze and comprehend the deep meanings behind the runes, this was a powerful attribute reverted through the natural smithing technique.

Once the rune paths were completed after 15 minutes, Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. Nonetheless, he was surprised when withdrew his mental conception and fixed his gaze on He Xinfang.

Dense smoke was seen rising from the top of He Xinfang’s head.

It was the result of him channeling his essential Qi to an extremity, and his body was beginning to drift slowly as though he lacked the power to continue. “Brother He, you can stop now.”

He Xinfang’s eyes lit up after he heard Ou Yangming, then he finally decelerated and stopped.

He began to pant heavily as soon as he came to a complete stop.

“Brother He, are you tired already?” Ou Yangming asked in shock.

“Master Ou, I’ve been running for more than an hour.” He Xinfang was stunned, and he twitched his face. He grumbled after a pause, “You kept urging me to speed up and to go faster… I’ve already performed a secret technique to simulate my dantian, so I was already at my highest speed!”

Ou Yangming blinked and was rather embarrassed.

He was so immersed in the peculiar natural smithing state earlier that he did not notice how much time had passed in the blink of an eye.

Nevertheless, he vaguely remembered himself reminding He Xinfang many times because he thought the great ancestor was not being fast enough.

Who knew, the Supreme Great Ancestor took the initiative to perform his secret technique to simulate his dantian, all so he could fulfill Ou Yangming’s request by unleashing a greater power.

Even though He Xinfan’s speed could be increased, his body would suffer certain damage. As such, the method would normally be used as a last resort.

“Brother He, thanks for the hard work,” Ou Yangming expressed apologetically with a nod.

He Xinfang immediately waved his hand and responded, “Master Ou, what are you talking about? As long as I can serve you, this is as easy as lifting a finger for me.”

Ou Yangming grinned and curbed his Military Fire. Right before this, he had already viewed the boots’ properties.

The young fellow was dumbfounded because through the natural smithing technique, the boots had crossed an ordinary tool’s limit and became a magic tool.

[Item: Top Speed Boots (Yellow)]

(Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Common Grade, Rank One]

[Attributes: Toughness +21, Evasion +1 (Passive Attribute: A 10% success rate of natural evasion under an attack)]

(Skill: Light as a Swallow +1 (Overall speed increased by 10%)]

Even Ou Yangming felt like roaring at the sky when he saw the boots’ specific properties.

If He Xinfang’s clan’s greatest technique was transformed into a piece of equipment’s power, it would be unbelievably powerful.

It was worth noting that the Evasive attribute could initially only be attached by using an incredibly rare unique ore, but Ou Yangming did it without the material this time. Most importantly, the boots carried the Light as a Swallow attribute.

‘Overall speed increases by 10%? Won’t the powerhouse become mightier?’

If He Xinfang used the attribute, Ou Yangming could not imagine who else in the world could catch up to him in a short distance.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and activated his Military Fire again. Instead of refining the boots, he added some Secret Code Runes inside the boots for concealing purposes.

Given that the completely useless Secret Code Runes became interconnected with the correct runes for the attributes, it would be extremely difficult if anyone wanted to perceive the mystery behind it.

The Secret Code Runes were successfully carved after a long time. When Ou Yangming curbed his Military Fire once more, a pair of perfect military boots was born.

He looked deeply at He Xinfang and handed the boots to him. “Brother He, these boots are a magic tool now, and they fit you very well.”

Ou Yangming told He Xinfang about the two Unique Attributes and their respective effects, and the Supreme Great Ancestor’s eyes glowed as he was thrilled. He Xinfang instantly accepted the boots and kowtowed at the young fellow, then he expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, “Master Ou, thank

you.”

The young fellow quickly shifted to dodge the salutation. “Brother He, honestly, the boots were made through our cooperation, so you don’t need to thank me.”

He Xinfang pondered and said, “Master Ou, don’t worry, I know what to do.” The great ancestor then cupped his hands and left in a hurry.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming was dazed because he did not know what exactly the great ancestor was going to do.

As if it was already arranged, the second Supreme Great Ancestor arrived right after He Xinfang left. It was not a great ancestor from the capital, but Fang Zhaoyang-an experienced great ancestor from the capital.

Back when Ou Yangming first met Fang Zhaoyang, the Supreme Great Ancestor was a superior figure. Now, the great ancestor could not be proud in front of the young fellow anymore.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, my clan doesn’t have any remarkable secret technique or lost art, but I acquired a unique piece of equipment during my travels when I was younger.” Fang Zhaoyang carefully retrieved an item from his bag and showed it to Ou Yangming.

The equipment was by no means ordinary because it was a pair of extremely rare and uncommonly used goggles. Despite that, Ou Yangming did not treat it lightly at all. Fang Zhaoyang was the one who showed him the equipment, after all, and he knew the great ancestor was not one who liked to make jokes.

Ou Yangming picked up the goggles and put them one while Fang Zhaoyang watched eagerly. When he looked around, it seemed like there was no difference at all; when he channeled his essential Qi into the goggles, the world through his eyes changed all of a sudden.

‘I can see near or far according to my desire!

n see nea

This was the first thought that crossed Ou Yangming’s mind, and it left him in awe.

As the young fellow looked into the distance through the goggles, he changed his mind on what he wanted to see. With that, the view far away was somehow drawn closer to him, to the extent that he could clearly see everything.

When he changed his mind once more, the view, which seemed to be within reach, went away and continued to shrink even after it returned to its original state.

While the ability seemed useless because one could only adjust the distance of one’s view, Ou Yangming’s face changed when he thought about something.

He removed the goggles and asked in a deep voice, “Senior Fang, did you prepare the archer’s suit in the past for this?”

Fang Zhaoyang nodded and answered, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you’re right. My clan spared no effort in smithing the archer’s suit because of this treasure.”

Ou Yangming wondered and remarked, “Senior, you put in a lot of effort for the Humans’ disaster.”

The goggles and the archer’s suit were unquestionably prepared to face the spirit beast. Perhaps the goggled would allow one to sneak an attack on the beast, but Ou Yangming was not optimistic about the attack’s damage to the beast.

Fang Zhaoyang smiled bitterly. “During the past calamities in Changlong County and Linlang County, representatives from the Ni family and the He family had to sacrifice themselves to kill the spirit beasts. Given that the cycle repeats, the price to pay is honestly too huge, so I wanted to end it.

Ou Yangming nodded. “Senior, I suppose you’re not here to ask me to smith another pair of goggles, but the most powerful explosive arrows, am I right?”

“You’re a master indeed; you guessed it right away.” Fang Zhaoyang chuckled.

The young fellow returned the goggles to him and noted seriously, “This is great news. I’ll definitely do my best, so don’t worry.”

Fang Zhaoyang stroked his beast and laughed. “Of course, I’m not worried at all.” Ou Yangming lamented after he sent Fang Zhaoyang away.

The Humans did not only comprise mediocre people; there were almighty beings who were doing everything possible to find new ways to kill the spirit beast. It did not matter if they would succeed in the end because the fact that people were trying meant that the Humans had a bright future.

After Fang Zhaoyang left, Ou Yangming suddenly realized that many more Supreme Great Ancestors had shown up in the Ni residence.

He was puzzled when he looked at over ten great ancestors, who were flashing flattering smiles at him.

Before Ou Yangming began to smith, he made it clear that the great ancestors had to present their greatest inherited secret techniques if they wanted to obtain the most suitable pieces of equipment.

According to Ou Yangming’s idea, even if the great ancestors were willing to do so, they could not make the call in an instant. Who knew, it only took half a day for these people to come round.

Chen Yifan explained with a smile as though he noticed Ou Yangming’s bewilderment, “Brother Ou, He Xinfang came to find us and showed off the boots you refined for him. Hehe, seeing how wonderful the boots are, we were moved.”

It was then that Ou Yangming realized that He Xinfang had done a live advertisement for him.

His heart pounded due to excitement when he saw how many Supreme Great Ancestors had come.

He did not have wild wishes that every one of them could show him a new skill, but as long as a third, no… Even if only a fifth of them provided new skills, it would be an exceptionally rare and huge gain.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, I’m truly honored.” Ou Yangming did a fist salutation and stated with a smile, “Please note down the equipment that you need, as well as your best abilities; I’ll take them into careful considerations. I assure you that I’ll give my all, and I’ll strive to satisfy your requests.”

The Supreme Great Ancestors nodded after some thought, then they noted down their wishes and their abilities.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids continuously twitched after he casually looked at the list. These inherited aristocratic families have profound foundations indeed. I’m dazzled by their all-inclusive skills.’

On the spur of the moment, he was struck with a thought.

‘If someone can include all these skills in a piece of equipment, won’t that person be invincible?’

That said, it was just wishful thinking because no equipment could withstand such a smithing process.
