Chapter 770 - Test Power



Chapter 770: Test Power

Mao Jianbi stared with bright eyes at the unremarkable formation board.

Formation boards were extremely precious items for ordinary cultivators indeed, but they were rather normal for powerhouses like Mao Jianbi, who was the Beast King Sect’s great elder. He was only more serious about this formation board because it was refined by Ou Yangming.

Nonetheless, he was well-experienced, hence he could tell at once that the formation board did not seem to be one of those incredibly powerful ones.

He glanced at Ou Yangming in confusion and asked, “Master Ou, do you want me to go all-our?”

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “You can use half of your power first.” He had put in a lot of effort to refine the formation board, hence he did not want it to be destroyed just like that.

Mao Jianbi responded to him and extended his arm to punch.

Given that he was a top-grade Spiritualist, even if he used only half of his power, he was superior to an Advanced Spiritualist.

Even so, Mao Jianbi’s controlling ability was far from what Advanced Spiritualists could compare. Since he only used half of his power, his punch was soundless as though it did not carry any power at all.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming, who was standing next to Mao Jianbi, sensed an intense chillness, so much so that he could not help but have goosebumps.

He was the only one on the peak that could understand how truly fearsome the seemingly calm hit was.

Following a deafening explosion, the faint light on the formation board suddenly became brighter as if it was seriously stimulated. Its potential burst forth, causing it to become glorious. Moreover, a thin and seemingly transparent film emerged to block the punch’s power.

The faces of Ou Yangming and Mao Jianbi changed. They subconsciously exchanged glances as they were surprised.

Before Mao Jianbi punched, neither of them thought that the formation board’s defensive ability would be so notable. The punch was made by a top-grade Spiritualist, and even though it carried only half of the Spiritualist’s power, it could not be resisted by an ordinary formation board.

“Hehe, Master Ou, this small thing is really something indeed. I’ll try again?” Mao Jianbi asked carefully as he was afraid of hurting the young fellow’s feelings.

Ou Yangming nodded and replied to him, “Great Elder Mao, I’m here to test its limit, so it’s fine even if it’s broken.”

Mao Jianbi raised his eyebrows and was finally at ease. Given that the item was taken out by Ou Yangming, the young fellow might be embarrassed if he accidentally broke it. Since the fellow did not mind, he naturally would not be too concerned.

With that, Mao Jianbi nodded and punched again. This time, his punch was accompanied by a whistling wind. When the fist wind surged, even the people far away could sense how frightening the punch was.

The great elder did not go all-out as well, but he exerted 80% of his power.

“Boom...”

Struck by such a forceful power, the Earthly Defensive Formation Board finally shook, but it did not mean that it was powerless.

A yellow light suddenly appeared. After being hit by the fist wind, the area enveloped by the light was instantly compressed to an extremity such that it only covered roughly 16 centimeters on the formation board. Despite that, the yellow light stabilized at this moment. No matter how harsh the fist wind was, it did not move an inch like a pillar that towered proudly on a peak.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. The formation board’s defensive ability was far beyond his imagination.

If he adopted the Linkage Method and combined more formation boards, how mighty would they be?

Mao Jianbi flushed all of a sudden. He stared angrily at the formation board and let out a thunderous roar.

Subsequently, he increased his power at once. After failing to break the formation board after 2 attempts, he finally decided to make his best hit as a top-grade Spiritualist.

“Boom...”

This time, the yellow light could not withstand the enormous power anymore. It flickered a little and exploded. Furthermore, when the fist wind whistled and struck the formation board ruthlessly, it exploded due to the unrestrained power.

Numerous broken bits flew into mid-air, and a violent outburst was heard as they flew in all directions.

Far away, everyone had left quietly when Mao Jianbi first attacked. Since they followed the great elder, they knew very well how appalling a top-grade Spiritualist could be. Even if such a powerhouse were to make an accidental attack, the spectators would suffer an undeserved disaster.

Under the circumstances, staying far away had become everyone’s unspoken rule.

Ou Yangming’s face changed. The fragments were not shot in his direction on purpose, but the power contained by each one must not be underestimated. Without being fully equipped, he dared not be careless at all.

Having said that, before Ou Yangming could make a move, a figure flashed to protect him.

Mao Jianbi acted at the speed of light. He kept waving his hands, causing all of the flying pieces in the air to somehow slow down as though a power was dragging them, thus they lost the force to shoot outward.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and praised the great elder internally.

This was Mao Jianbi’s real strength. Although he could not compare with the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, he had his knack in fine control. In terms of individual comprehension, he had at least reached the thoroughly meticulous standard.

After a brief moment, all of the fragments stopped. Under Mao Jianbi’s control, they flew back to their original spots according to their initial flight paths until they landed on the ground into a pile.

Mao Jianbi twitched his mouth and smiled embarrassedly. “Master Ou, I couldn’t hold back just now—I apologize.”

Ou Yangming waved his hand and smiled. “Great Elder Mao, you’re being too polite. Hehe, I’m grateful that you helped me test the formation board’s limit.”

Mao Jianbi studied Ou Yangming’s expression seriously and was only relieved when he was sure that the young fellow was not angry.

In actuality, he would not have destroyed the formation board if he controlled his power carefully. However, under Ou Yangming’s watch, he became competitive and ended up crushing the board with one hit.

Ou Yangming was looking at the broken bits, but he was not focusing on them because he was already calculating the number of formation boards that he would need to refine to link them.

Without warning, a chime could be heard coming from far. The sound spread such that it echoed in every corner in the Beast King Sect.

The young fellow was brought back to his senses right away, and he looked in that direction with Mao Jianbi.

Even after being in the Beast King Sect for a long time, he had not heard such a loud chime. Even when the Insects attacked back then, it was not so exaggerated.

“Master Ou, an honorable guest has come,” Mao Jianbi suddenly spoke, “This is the grandest chime used to welcome a guest, and it can only be heard once in every few years.”

Ou Yangming was moved, and he thought about a powerhouse at the moment.

Since he was going to smith a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit for Multi-armed King Kong, it meant that the king kong would be facing the most important time in its life. Upon receiving the news, it would not be strange for that powerhouse to come to boost its son’s morale or even protect it.

Furthermore, very few figures in Danzhou deserved to be welcomed by the Beast King Sect so ceremoniously.

Sure enough, a long-drawn-out voice was heard after that.

“Welcome, 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, the Beast King Sect’s honored by your gracious presence.” A giant flying carpet soared into the sky as Yuqi the Venerable One stood proudly on it and greeted the guest with a bright smile.

“Yuqi the Venerable One, you don’t need to be so polite. I’ve come to reunite with my son today, so please make things convenient for me.”

After hearing what it said, Yuqi the Venerable One laughed and responded, “Given the relationship between our sects, do you need to be so polite? Come, come, come, quickly come and have some drinks with me first...”

The 2 figures conversed in the sky as if nobody else was present, then they flew toward one of the peaks.

Ou Yangming saw the direction that they were heading in, then he turned to say to Mao Jianbi, “Great Elder Mao, I need to go back.”

Mao Jianbi was envious. He replied to the young fellow, “It’s a serious matter, so please go ahead, Master Ou.”

He was a top-notch top-grade Spiritualist in the Beast King Sect, but he could not meet the Venerable Ones whenever he wanted to nor listen to their pointers. On the other hand, Ou Yangming had not only gained Yuqi the Venerable One’s trust, but the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One even headed straight to the peak that he resided on as soon as it arrived.

The fact that Ou Yangming could spend time with Venerable Ones at any time was enviable indeed.

Ou Yangming nodded and flew back to his peak on his flying carpet.

When he hurried back to the peak, other than Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, he also saw the old macaque.

Multi-armed King Kong was standing beside them. As for the goshawk, Big Yellow, and the others, they had stayed away long ago as they dared not stay close to endure the momentums of the 3 Venerable Ones.

They were 3 Venerable Ones, after all. Even if they curbed their coercions, their invisible pressures could not be withstood by normal beings. In actual fact, Ou Yangming would not be willing to stay if he had a choice.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One spoke when it noticed Ou Yangming returning to the peak, “Master Ou, I went to Blood Shadow’s Devil Palace and destroyed his lair.” It paused for a while and continued rather regretfully, “But Blood Shadow escaped out of Danzhou and found a powerhouse to protect him, so I couldn’t take him down—I’m ashamed.”

Ou Yangming quickly expressed, “I already feel uneasy about having to trouble you, Venerable One, so if you’re ashamed, I’ll have to hang myself out of guilt.”

The others chuckled, causing the atmosphere to be less tense.

Afterward, the old macaque cleared its throat and changed the topic. “Master Ou, 10,000 Beasts came because of King Kong. Hehe, I’ve prepared the materials that you require and put them here.” It paused for a bit before it asked the young fellow eagerly, “When do you plan to start smithing for King Kong?”

As soon as it spoke, the air seemed to have become denser.

The 3 Venerable Ones looked at Ou Yangming at the same time. They did not urge him, but their invisible pressures spread and filled the air.
