Yan Haobo and others gathered around Ouyang Ming to show their courtesy. He naturally knew what these people were planning, and they were just asking for decent equipment. However, if it was not necessary, Ouyang Ming would not forge magical weapons for them just because of a few flattery words from the other party.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and then the crowd moved aside, and Liu Zhengye slowly entered the house.
He looked at Ouyang Ming and said with a smile: "Master Ou is here. If the general comes to see you for something, just follow me!"
Ouyang Ming responded, stood up, and followed him away. However, Ouyang Ming felt a little emotional in his heart.
Only a month ago, Liu Zhengye followed what Chen Yifan and Old Jiangtou called him. But now that we meet, he has changed his name to master.
It seems that if you want to gain the respect of others, the only way is to make yourself stronger. Only when you are so powerful that others cannot ignore you can you truly receive the courtesy that matches your status.
After a while, they arrived at the general's mansion.
When Chen Yifan saw Ouyang Ming, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Ouyang Ming, you kid is really in the limelight this time!"
Ouyang Ming laughed sarcastically and said, "General, you are flattering me. In fact, I just forged some equipment for them. Those who actually use the equipment are the warriors in the army."
Chen Yifan nodded slightly and said: "If you can think like this, it's the best. However, this time, Yu Hailiang from the South Camp and Jiang Chengwei from the Middle Camp both respect you very much and must give you the first credit. In the end, it is General Deng who makes the decision." , determined your first achievement.”
Ouyang Ming naturally knew that General Deng was the commander of the central camp and the real commander of this military camp. Now that he has made a decision, even if the others want to object, it is useless.
Chen Yifan continued: "General Deng has recorded a thousand meritorious deeds for you, are you satisfied?"
Ouyang Ming's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Thank you, General!"
Chen Yifan waved his hand and said: "If you want to thank me, you also want to thank General Deng. You don't need to thank me." He paused and then said: "Actually, since you made the explosive arrow and used it to defeat the enemy, then it is considered your first achievement. It makes sense.”
Ouyang Ming was smiling broadly, and it was definitely an unexpected surprise to receive meritorious service.
Chen Yifan suddenly changed the topic and said, "I heard, General, that you want to compete with Master Ni in the art of forging?"
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Exactly."
Chen Yifan said slowly: "Master Ni is a well-known spiritual fire forging master in Fucheng. You have only mastered weapons for a few years, how can you compare with him? Isn't this overestimating your capabilities?"
Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows and said: "General, although Master Ni has been learning forging for a long time, he may not be able to win the boy."
Chen Yifan and Liu Zhengye looked at each other, both frowning slightly.
They called Ouyang Ming here because they actually wanted him to give up the competition with Ni Yunhong.
In fact, considering how long Ouyang Ming had mastered arms, no one would criticize him even if he avoided fighting. Because everyone knows that mastering the art of forging cannot be achieved overnight.
However, now Ouyang Ming has won the first place in the meritorious service of hunting half-elf beasts, and his reputation is at the peak of the sky.
At this time, Ni Yunhong's challenge seemed to have some ulterior motives.
"Hey, Master Ou, did you know that the general is at odds with General Tian from Dongying?" Liu Zhengye coughed lightly and said.
Ouyang Ming said without hesitation: "I've heard of it."
Liu Zhengye nodded and said: "Okay, then I will tell you the truth. Master Ni is a forging master invited by General Tian from Fucheng. He originally wanted to deal with the old craftsman. However, now you happen to be in the limelight, so I'll do it to you." He paused and said, "It's fine if you win this fight, but if you lose, the general's face will be damaged!"
Chen Yifan gently waved his hand and said: "My general's face is just that, but what I'm afraid of is that some people will say that the old craftsman's forging skills are nothing more than this. So, Ni Yunhong can challenge the old craftsman. Haha. , Although the old craftsman's skills are very high, he is old after all, so he may not be able to handle it! "
Ouyang Ming's expression condensed. He had never thought about this before.
The fists were slightly tightened, and there must be no mistakes in this competition.
Liu Zhengye smiled slightly and said: "Master Ou, actually you can use the excuse that you have only a short time to master weapons to refuse the competition." He said seriously: "I guarantee that no one will dare to blame you or look down on you for this."
Ouyang Ming was startled, and then he understood what these two people meant.
He thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "General, what is spiritual fire?"
Chen Yifan thought for a while and said: "The powerful blacksmith is either the weapon gifted by the royal family, or the spiritual fire passed down by the clan. This Ni Yunhong is a genius of the Ni family, with a noble birth, amazing talent and stunning beauty. You can't resist it."
He maximized Ni Yunhong's strength as much as possible, just to make Ouyang Ming retreat.
However, a smile flashed across Ouyang Ming's face and he said: "General, since I can defeat him once, I can naturally defeat him a second time. Just watch with confidence, he will definitely lose!"
"What, you beat him?" Chen Yifan asked in surprise.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "General, do you know about night battles in the military camp?"
Chen Yifan and Liu Zhengye both looked at him, and they almost said in unison: "The young master and the masked man..."
Ouyang Ming smiled and said: "Yes, it's Ni Yunhong and me."
Chen Yifan frowned slightly and said, "Ni Yunhong's family is very knowledgeable. It's not surprising that he can defeat Yan Chengcai and others, but when it comes to you..." His eyes roamed Ouyang Ming's body for a moment, and he gradually became surprised: "Okay Boy, how old are you now?"
Ouyang Ming said proudly: "Fourth level of strength."
Before entering the dense forest, he actually only had the third level of strength. However, after absorbing the flesh and blood of the half-elf beast, he reached the sky in one step, not only reaching the fourth level of strength, but also reaching the peak of the fourth level, almost reaching the fifth level.
"Fourth level of strength, level four of strength!" Chen Yifan murmured, but in his eyes, there was a hint of fear that could not be concealed.
Not only was he like this, even Liu Zhengye was not much better.
They watched Ouyang Ming start practicing martial arts with their own eyes. At that time, Ouyang Ming was like a blank piece of paper. Even the horse squatting step was taught by Chen Yifan. Although they all knew that this boy was full of energy and blood and was a martial arts material, and they had all been surprised by his rapid cultivation to the first level of strength.
However, the fourth level of strength...
How much time is this? If one finger represents a month, it seems that even one hand cannot hold it, right
However, in just this little time, a little guy who had just started practicing martial arts was able to reach the fourth level of martial arts.
Chen Yifan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted: "Zhengye!"
Liu Zhengye, who had followed him for many years, naturally understood it and said: "Master Ou, be careful." Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward and rushed towards Ou Yangming.
He turned his hand and hit Ouyang Ming's face head-on.
Ouyang Ming only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the surging energy was like a knife blade coming towards his face, making him feel a dull pain.
A powerful force, a force so powerful that he simply couldn't contend with it.
However, Ouyang Ming's eyes narrowed at this moment, and those eyes that seemed to have only a slit revealed a heart-stopping light.
Then, his body swayed, as if he fell diagonally to the left, and the force of the punch that hit him suddenly lost its target.
"Huh?" Liu Zhengye whispered in surprise. Ouyang Ming's transfer actually made him feel a little uncomfortable. It's like you can knock the opponent down with one punch, but the opponent turns around and runs to your side, where the fist can't reach, making his punch miss. Moreover, the position he was standing in at this time meant that if he wanted to change his fist position midway, he would need to put in more effort.
However, after all, there was a big gap in strength between the two of them. Liu Zhengye stopped and turned around abruptly.
However, when his circle had just turned around, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming behind him from the corner of his eye.
Liu Zhengye suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his vest. When did that kid actually run behind him? Without thinking, he immediately raised his foot and kicked back. However, this kick did not hit anything. It was like kicking in the air. Instead, it made his body a little unstable.
With a soft drink, Liu Zhengye quickly stood up. However, before he could stand completely, a foot accidentally kicked his ankle.
If Liu Zhengye had positioned his horse, or had been prepared, even if Ou Yangming kicked with all his strength, his figure would not be shaken at all.
However, at this moment, Liu Zhengye continued to turn around and kicked the ball in the air. Just when his figure was swaying, this kick immediately caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground. However, his reaction was extremely fast. Before his body actually touched the ground, he had already supported his body with one hand and immediately turned over to stand firm.
These fights were as fast as lightning. Both sides had no moves at all, they just used them at will.
However, Liu Zhengye, whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of the peak Yin level, was unable to defeat Ou Yangming. Moreover, looking at his red face, you knew that he had suffered a small loss.
The fourth level of strength level and the fifth level of Yin level. The gap between them is not just a big level.
Liu Zhengye suddenly turned around, and there was no longer any look of contempt in his eyes. His face was solemn, and he stared at Ouyang Ming, like a wild beast that was ready to devour anyone at any time, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
However, Ouyang Ming stood opposite him, his body light and airy, as if he had no weight at all. As for the momentum Liu Zhengye released, he never paid attention to it.
After all, Ouyang Ming had come into close contact with the half-elf beast. Although it was a dead beast, it was not comparable to Liu Zhengye in terms of coercion.
