Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1142: Conflict

Ou Yangming stood at the side and watched with a smile as Wu Qingquan was attacked.

This so-called master had brought this upon himself. If he had not stopped Ou Yangming, Ou Yangming would not have meddled in his business.

It was a pity that one could be forgiven if the disaster came from nature, but one deserved the punishment if it was of one’s own making.

Ou Yangming had no pity for such a person.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming felt a sharp mental power attacking his spiritual sea. He turned around and saw Wu Qingquan’s ferocious gaze.

‘This fella’s attacking me with a spiritual magic art?’

Ou Yangming’s expression changed. He took half a step forward and slapped Wu Qingquan.

A shadow flashed past!

Wu Qingquan’s body flew out and hit the high smithing table.

The scalding smithing table pressed on Wu Qingquan’s body, and a burnt smell filled the air. The man let out a miserable cry and howled in pain.

Being burned by the smithing table was only a superficial injury. The real pain was from Ou Yangming’s slap just now.

Ou Yangming’s strength was comparable to a Ruler of the second step. To him, Wu Qingquan, who was at the late stage of a Venerable One, was no different from an ant.

Wu Qingquan had never thought that the young fellow he had plotted against would have such terrifying strength.

“Why did he suddenly make a move?”

Ou Yangming made a decisive move, and he was so fast that the people around him did not even have time to react.

“This young master is too powerful. Not only is his smithing techniques brilliant, but his martial strength is also off the charts.” As they recalled Ou Yangming’s actions just now, if they were in Wu Qingquan’s place, they would not have been able to block that slap.

What did this mean?

It meant that this young fellow, whose name was Ou Yangming, was not only a smithing master but also a Ruler.

The golden-robed middle-aged man also had a surprised look in his eyes. As he watched Ou Yangming walking in Wu Qingquan’s direction, he hurriedly said, “Master Ouyang, fighting isn’t allowed here!”

Ou Yangming stopped and asked, “Is something like that particularly stated in this place?”

The golden-robed man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ou Yangming stop. He explained, “The Hidden Dragons Island is under the jurisdiction of the Dragons. Fighting is absolutely prohibited here. If the Dragon Prestige Army finds out, it’ll be serious trouble.”

“But he attacked me first just now.”

Ou Yangming looked at Wu Qingquan with a stern look.

Wu Qingquan attacked first? Everyone was stunned. They did not see any unusual movements from Wu Qingquan. If Ou Yangming was forced to fight back because he was attacked, things would be better.

Ou Yangming explained, “He used his mental power to attack me.”

Mental power attack?

Everyone present was silent. There was no way to deal with this. A mental power attack was very mysterious, and there was no way to detect it. As long as the other party insisted that he did not attack, there was nothing one could do even if the Dragon Prestige Army was here.

“Master Ouyang, forget it. Don’t bother with him. It’s not worth it to fight him on the Hidden Dragons Island,” the golden-robed man persuaded Ou Yangming.

In his opinion, Ou Yangming was on par with him as a Ruler. Furthermore, the young fellow was a smithing master, so he wanted to befriend him.

Besides, it was really hard to judge the mental power attack.

Ou Yangming stopped. That slap just now could be considered a lesson, but it was a pity that he did not use enough strength.

“Young fella, just you wait.”

Wu Qingquan got up from the ground and ran away in a hurry.

He could predict that from today onward, his status on the Hidden Dragons Island would plummet. Blacksmith masters valued reputations the most. On this day, he had thoroughly disappointed everyone.

With so many people witnessing what happened, the news would definitely spread across the entire Hidden Dragons Island and even to the nearby planets.

“Master Ouyang, if the Dragon Prestige Army arrives, I’ll testify for you.”

“Me too...”

“Master Ouyang, you’re too amazing. Just stay in the East City Square. In the future, we’ll come to look for you when we want to smith weapons.”

After witnessing Ou Yangming’s smithing skills, the martial artists became energetic. If they had such a super blacksmith to serve them, it would be too blissful.

Ou Yangming touched the tip of his nose. Afterward, he realized what everyone had been addressing him as. He said in a deep voice, “My name is Ou Yangming, but my surname isn’t Ouyang. My surname is Ou, and my name is Yangming.”

‘Uhm...’

Everyone was confused by his name. After a long while, they finally realized that his surname was not Ouyang.

“Master Ou.” Everyone immediately changed the way they addressed him.

Ou Yangming smiled and took out the armor that he had just smithed from the smithing table. The armor fell to the ground, but it did not have a single speck of dust on it.

“Master Ou, sell this armor to me. I’ll surely satisfy you with a good price.” The gold-robed Ruler looked envious. Not everyone could have good quality armor.

Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “This isn’t mine. I can’t make the decision.”

“How can it not be yours, Master Ou? Didn’t you smith it?”

In everyone’s perspective, this armor was smithed by Ou Yangming, so it naturally belonged to him. Nonetheless, he was not greedy for such a small price.

He looked at the person who provided the materials to Wu Qingquan and said, “Come here for a while.”

That person was also a Venerable One. He walked out and said anxiously, “Master Ou, you called me.”

“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded and picked up the armor. He said, “Take this. It’s not easy to find the materials. It’s truly a loss to exchange them for a Common Grade Rank One magic weapon.”

Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, a look of disbelief flashed across the martial artist’s face. He trembled a little. “Master Ou... Master Ou, did you say that you’ll give it to me?”

“Yes, you were the one who provided the materials, so I’ll give it to you.” Ou Yangming lifted the armor and gestured for the other party to take it.

“Thank you, Master Ou.”

A look of ecstasy flashed across the person’s face. This was a Good Grade Rank Three magic weapon, and it even had a special skill.

He might have lost a lot in the past but after taking the armor that Ou Yangming had given him, he had made a huge profit. This armor was certainly worth more than 9 sets of materials, but no one would be willing to sell such a treasure.

“Master Ou, you’re benevolent and righteous.”

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the golden-robed man. He was very impressed by the young fellow’s boldness of giving away a fine magic weapon just like that.

As compared to Wu Qingquan, Ou Yangming’s image was undoubtedly much better.

“Master Ou, there are still many people here with materials. Why don’t you help everyone smith something?” Someone suggested.

“Yes, Master Ou, your smithing techniques are superb. If you help us, we’re willing to provide more materials.”

As compared to Wu Qingquan, Ou Yangming was more popular at this moment. He even gave away such a fine weapon just now. At the very least, he would not be like Wu Qingquan, who lied to everyone just for some materials.

A hint of a smile flashed across Ou Yangming’s eyes. This proposal was exactly what he wanted. He had originally planned to buy materials to smith his weapons. If he were to smith here for a few days, would he still be short of materials?

He had smithed the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer in the lower realm. This time, he would smith a weapon of a higher level.

After a moment, Ou Yangming nodded.

“Since everyone trusts me, I won’t stand on ceremony. If you want me to smith something, you’ll only need to prepare 5 sets of materials. As for the success rate, I can guarantee a 100% success rate.”

These words made everyone ecstatic. 5 sets of materials and a 100% success rate. Such a great deal could not be found anywhere here.

What they trusted more were Ou Yangming’s smithing skills. That fine armor earlier was the best proof.

“I’ll go first.”

Before anyone could regain their senses, the golden-robed man hurriedly walked to the front and took out his interspatial bag. “I have 5 sets of materials here. Master Ou, please help me refine a pair of battle boots!”

The golden-robed man was a Ruler, so the materials he had were also unusual. Ou Yangming took a quick glance and confirmed that there were more than 5 sets of materials.

“Everyone, just line up. If you want me to smith something, just prepare the materials and come one by one. Everyone only has one chance,” Ou Yangming said, and a long line was instantly formed in the chaotic square.

The East City Square was massive. Most people did not know about the conflict between Ou Yangming and Wu Qingquan.

Many people looked over curiously.

“What’s happening over there? Why is there a long line?” Someone looked over curiously.

“Isn’t that Master Wu’s territory?”

“Master Wu’s too popular. Could it be that he smithed a shocking treasure?”

This attracted the attention of many people. Many people walked over and realized that in the middle of the crowd was a young fellow whom they had never seen before.

The outsiders looked at the warriors who were queuing up and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“We’re asking Master Ou to smith weapons for us!”

“Master Ou? Is that the young fella?” Many people looked at the young fellow from afar. He was the master that everyone was talking about.

“These people are too careless. They’re actually asking a young fellow to smith weapons for them. When the materials are destroyed, they’ll cry.”

Those who did not know the truth commented disdainfully.

“I heard it’s because he’s doing it for a cheap price. It seems that Master Ou only needs 5 sets of materials,” another person who did not know the truth said.

“Don’t you know that nothing good comes out of cheap services?”

An old man with a handlebar mustache and a blue robe walked over.

“Master Jin,” the 2 people from before said in unison.

Master Jin was also a blacksmith master. He could not be compared to Wu Qingquan, but he was quite famous on Hidden Dragons Island too. He looked at Ou Yangming, who was smithing in the distance.

“Master Jin is right. What good stuff can a young fella forge?”

“They’ll cry later.”

The 2 men said hurriedly.

At this moment, a few cries of surprise and joy could be heard.

“Success!”

After hearing that, the 3 people looked at each other and hurriedly walked to the front.
