Chapter 173 Yin Grade Class Three
Yin Grade Class Three!
When Ou Yangming landed like a javelin on the ground, he knew that he had once again broken through in martial arts. Although it happened fast and seemed unbelievable, he had genuinely achieved it step by step.
With his own strength, he challenged the imperial merchant family and was even wanted by the Governor’s Residence.
Later on, he even withstood a Supreme Great Ancestor’s aura and oppression.
It was an extremely important point because the number of Yin Grade martial artists in the whole world who could resist a great ancestor… Even though it was only in a certain aspect, Ou Yangming was probably the only one who could do it.
The fight against a Supreme Great Ancestor greatly stimulated Ou Yangming’s martial arts potential, causing him to gain an opportunity to break through. On top of that, Chen Dishou’s teachings, which lasted for three days, and the sudden ambush from another Supreme Great Ancestor incited Ou Yangming as well. Needless to say, the unique Devouring attribute, which helped him transform flesh and blood into Qi and blood, was the real basis of his advancement.
No matter how high Ou Yangming’s previously acquired states were, without sufficient Qi and blood, which meant that his body was empty, the martial arts state itself could not improve his physical quality.
However, once his state rose after he was prompted by a powerhouse, when his body was abundant by Qi and blood, he could naturally break through.

Before Chen Dishou left, he was worried that Ou Yangming was lacking in Qi and blood production, but he did not know that the young fellow had a way to compensate for his shortcoming.
Ou Yangming inhaled deeply, and the sound of cracked bones were heard coming from his body. His essential Qi had clearly flowed to his internal organs, so when he breathed out, his bones cracked due to the vibration.
A surge of magnanimous aura burst out from Ou Yangming’s body at that moment, and when it was at his throat, he opened his mouth to roar, “Hah—”.
With him as the center, animals of different sizes within 360 meters from him shivered and fled far away.
Ou Yangming’s roar actually carried the aura of a beast king, and he managed to frighten the other beasts.
Eventually, his aura and the agitation in his heart slowly calmed down.
The fact that he could advance to Yin Grade Class Three at a time like this was considered an unexpected surprise.
Ou Yangming curbed his thoughts and slowly sat down with his legs crossed. He stayed on the same spot for two days before he leisurely stood up and sped back to the prefecture.
Since it had been such a long time, he figured that the Supreme Great Ancestor could not have waited outside the prefecture.
Even if the powerhouse was still after Ou Yangming, he would not be too afraid.
The Blood Flight Power in his waist sash could be unleashed, and he could at least protect himself without worry.
After traveling for some time, the prefecture was within sight, but Ou Yangming did not notice any sign of a Supreme Great Ancestor, thus he was more at ease. Nevertheless, his eyelids suddenly twitched, so he subconsciously looked toward his right. Over there, a graceful young master bowed at him while holding a folding fan.
Ou Yangming was stunned because he did not expect to see the man here.
He Liangce, the He family’s eldest young master from Linlang County, waved and gestured to Ou Yangming to follow him. Ou Yangming hesitated for a while before he strode over to the young master.
Ou Yangming had observed his surroundings in advance, and he was certain that no Supreme Great Ancestor or martial artist was lying in ambush.
Even though he could not defeat a Supreme Great Ancestor through the integration of Heaven and man and the thoroughly meticulous state, if a powerhouse of such a level was lying in ambush within a certain distance, he could definitely sense it.
This was the greatest effect of having a deep understanding of Heaven and Earth’s mysterious nature.
Since there was no Supreme Great Ancestor present, even if someone was going to sneak an attack on Ou Yangming, he was dauntless. At the very least, he could easily escape through the Blood Flight Art.
There was a luxurious carriage beside He Liangce, who cupped his hands and said, “Brother Ou, please go in to have a chat with
me.”
Ou Yangming could not bring himself to reject the handsome young master, who was flashing a gentle smile at him, because he could sense the young man’s sincerity.
“Thank you for your hospitality,” Ou Yangming uttered after he cleared his throat. After they entered the carriage, He Liangce retrieved a tea set and poured two cups of tea. “Brother Ou, this black tea was planted in my residence, and it has a refreshing effect. Please give it a taste.”
Ou Yangming took a sip of it, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Sure enough, the tea was able to boost his spirit.
“Great tea!” Ou Yangming laughed. “Brother He, I’m not a person who can hide my thoughts. You didn’t call me over to treat me to tea, did you?”
He Liangce grinned and responded, “Brother Ou, you stuck out for your comrade, suppressed the Liang family, strengthened yourself at every step, and took advantage of the situation to benefit yourself. What a great
move!”
Ou Yangming’s face darkened a little. He asked, “Brother He, did you come on behalf of the Liang family to convince me?”
“Brother Ou, you misunderstood. I used to be in the military, so I’m aware of the brotherhood between soldiers. If I stop you from sticking out for your brothers, how can I gain the respect of the tough men in the military?”
“Please don’t blame me for misunderstanding you.” Ou Yangming’s face went back to normal, and he smiled bitterly. Countless thoughts crossed his mind, but he could not make sense of why the young master had invited him.
He Liangce smiled faintly and expressed, “Brother Ou, everything you did is to my liking. We would’ve been great friends.” Ou Yangming tensed up, and he asked sternly, “Brother He, what do you mean?” “Brother Ou, based on my observation, you have a close relationship with the Ni family’s little princess, am I right?” He Liangce sighed and asked regretfully.
The smile on Ou Yangming’s face was slowly fading away, and he questioned, “Brother He, why do you ask?”
He Liangce looked at him seriously. “Because I have a presumptuous request.”
“Since it’s a presumptuous request, you don’t have to tell me.”
“Heh, I know you’re an outspoken person, but regrettably, this is a serious matter. I don’t have a choice.” He Liangce sighed his head and sighed. “Other than wanting to be superior to Changlong County in stone-gambling, I’ve actually come all the way from Linlang County for two things.”
Ou Yangming looked at the young master without an expression, but he was feeling rather anxious.
“One of them is to walk the Ni family’s Testimony Path to prove myself,” He Liangce casually revealed.
“The Testimony Path? It’s not that great.” Ou Yangming scoffed.
He Liangce laughed. “Perhaps that’s what you think, but it’s incredibly difficult for most people out there.” Ou Yangming suddenly smiled and asked, “Are you trying to show off?”
“No, but I want to prove something to the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors by walking the Testimony Path.” He Liangce shook his head, then he said firmly with extremely clear eyes, “I want to marry Ni Yinghong!”
Ou Yangming was shocked, and he stood up abruptly.
The carriage was huge, so Ou Yangming’s head did not hit the top even when he stood up straight.
He glared at He Liangce and asked word by word, “What did you say?” Instead of evading his eyes, He Liangce bowed slightly and requested, “I have a difficult reason behind this, so I hope you’ll let go.” “Let go? Heh, why should I let go?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and asked, “Because of your resolution that doesn’t matter?” He Liangce sighed and said, “I know you’ll be extremely upset about it, but there’s no room for negotiation.” Ou Yangming smirked. “What happens if I refuse to let go?” “If you don’t let go, I’ll do everything to strike you down until you give up,” He Liangce answered seriously. “Strike me down?” Ou Yangming tilted his head and looked at the young master with a vague smile. “Let’s see if you have the capability to do that!” Following that, he reached out his hand to grab He Liangce’s shoulder.
It did not seem like a swift attack, but the timing and angle were perfect. He grabbed He Liangce’s shoulder in a split second.
That said, He Liangce kept a straight face and apologized, “Brother Ou, please excuse me.” Ou Yangming scoffed and exerted force through his hand, but his face soon changed. He came to a sudden realization that he was not squeezing a human’s shoulder, but a huge iron ingot. Even when Ou Yangming went all out, He Liangce did not look like he was in pain at all.
‘What a strong body!
‘This gentle fella, who doesn’t seem like he has great martial arts, is actually a hidden powerhouse.’ Ou Yangming’s face took on a grim expression, and he wanted to release the Military Fire as he was struck with an idea.
The Military Fire was an exceptionally strange fire. Unless one had intimate body contact with another person, the heat energy could not be transmitted through a weapon.
However, this was the perfect timing to use the Military Fire.
Nonetheless, before Ou Yangming could release his Military Fire, he was suddenly alerted.
Without any hesitation, Ou Yangming let go of He Liangce and flashed out of the carriage at that crucial moment.
The curtain danced as He Liangce paced out of the carriage. He looked apologetic. “Brother Ou, I dared not withstand your Military Fire when I realized that you were going to utilize it earlier, so I could only force you to come outside.”
Ou Yangming scoffed. He proceeded to clench his fists and stab forward.
Though he was not holding a spear, he had one in his heart, and his whole body seemed to have become an ultimate spear.
When Ou Yangming stabbed, an airflow was produced in the void as if a real spear was being prodded. “Hey? Great spear technique!” He Liangce expressed cheerfully, then he wielded his folding fan and pricked the tip of the spear. A sharp and ear-piercing sound was instantly heard.
The folding fan ruthlessly hit the invisible tip of the spear. Ou Yangming quivered and turned pale. He suddenly took a step back, but he curbed his aura as soon as he took the step. Whether it was his look, his temperature, his aura, or even every sign of life, they vanished at that instant.
He Liangce was truly shocked as he said, “Yin Grade, Class Three…”
