Chapter 313 - The Birth Of A Supreme Great Ancestor
Chapter 313 The Birth Of A Supreme Great Ancestor
“Boom, boom, boom…” Woo Lejia was in a miserable state in the ring. Similar to the two previous Yang Grade powerhouses, he gave up his dignified and creditable combat method because his only goal was to escape the big multicolored tiger’s attacks.
He would be considered brainless if he still wanted to uphold his dignity while he tried to escape.
Woo Lejia kept shifting his body and sometimes exerted all his force to counterattack. Nonetheless, the man knew his efforts could barely prolong his existence. He did not stand a chance to defeat a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast, especially a frightening one that could constantly recover and had endless energy.
No. Without external forces, his chances of escaping were minimal too.
Even so, he never gave up.
The Woo family disciples were not as prominent as the imperial family disciples, but they had a profound inheritance too. For many generations, they were the most loyal guardians of the imperial family, and their deceased ancestors taught them to never give up.
Therefore, no matter how formidable the big multicolored tiger was or how dangerous the situation was for Woo Lejia, he never surrendered.
He knew he would be giving up the path to the peak of martial arts if he admitted defeat.
Ou Yangming controlled the big multicolored tiger and kept attacking Woo Lejia. Throughout the process, he became more familiar with the simulated spiritual attack.
In actuality, Wu Haohan’s Simulated Spiritual Art was mighty but crude and full of loopholes. The only commendable thing was the gigantic beast’s valiant aura, which was hair-raising and could affect one’s combat power.
When Ou Yangming grasped the ability through his unique Military Fire and his great mental power, he could not simulate the gigantic beast well enough. However, when he transformed the beast into the big multicolored tiger, which he encountered in the past, everything changed.
He seemed to have found a path that suited him very well, and he successfully finished his journey on it.
Hence, the simulated big multicolored tiger became more vivid and powerful.
Ou Yangming had a strong feeling that he was a king-the king of the spiritual world that he created. Everything in the world was done according to his wishes; whether it was the environment or the big multicolored tiger, who could force a powerhouse at the peak of Yang Grade Class Five to a dead-end, they were all within his control.
If he wanted to end the fight earlier at this moment, he could simply increase the big tiger’s mightiness to kill Woo Lejia.
Despite that, he was incredibly curious.
‘If I assist Woo Lejia with my might, can he break through?’
As such, instead of ending the fight in a hurry, Ou Yangming gave Woo Lejia sufficient pressure and slowly increased it. The fight would naturally end if Woo Lejia gave up, but if he persisted through the greatest perseverance, perhaps he could advance to the next grade.
Eventually, Ou Yangming noticed that as the fight was dragged longer, the consumption of his mental power became greater than its compensation. It was also worth noting that he was equipped with the Qi Return necklace. Without the equipment, the young fellow could not have held on for so long even if his mental power was more substantial than this. Nevertheless, he noticed that Woo Lejia had become an arrow at the end of its flight.
“Pow…”
The big multicolored tiger attacked with its claw and finally struck at the exhausted Woo Lejia, causing him to fall to the ground. The beast later lunged at the man again, where he could smell its running saliva and bloody breath.
Before this, Woo Lejia had used up all the power in his body. In a way, his abilities were squeezed dry, and he could no longer evade the beast. If that was not the case, the man could not have been hit by the big multicolored tiger.
Seeing as the big tiger came closer to him and released such a threatening aura, Woo Lejia was utterly disheartened.
After experiencing the unbelievable fight, he became so immersed that he stopped wondering if it was an illusion or reality.
Woo Lejia thought he was going to die for sure.
An odd feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and he somehow had unexplainable emotions.
His memories filled his head and flashed in front of him at that instant.
Woo Lejia thought about his parents and close ones, and he saw the scenes when he first began to practice martial arts. Moreover, the man remembered the loneliness and sweat that he endured when he cultivated hard, as well as the danger and encounters when he fought alongside his partners.
Everything appeared in his mind in the form of endless images.
Time seemed to have slowed down, and his mind was detached from the limits of life, death, and time as it became far-reaching.
Woo Lejia had never experienced this before, and he understood something at this moment. He vaguely felt that he would do better if he was given a second chance.
‘I’m not resigned to this-I’m not resigned to the outcome!’
He roared furiously from the bottom of his heart, ‘I’m not willing to die like this!
‘I want to see my close ones, and I’d like to climb to the peak of martial arts!’
That said, the big tiger’s mouth and awful breath, which were approaching him, pulled him back to his senses.
Hopeless, dispirited, hopeful, indestructible… As he underwent an alternation between entirely different emotions, his mind was close to crumbling.
Next, Woo Lejia’s eyes lit up all of a sudden. The big multicolored tiger, that made him fearful and pressured, disappeared. He was greeted with the ring, Ou Yangming, and the blue sky.
‘Oh… It wasn’t a real great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast; it’s the Martial Arts Battle.’
Woo Lejia’s mouth trembled and was left agape while looking surprised about having escaped death.
Following that, the bizarre emotions from before gushed into his mind, and his brain seemed to have broken down as a result.
His thoughts slowly became lively. Even as he calmed his mind, he found himself in the intense excitement earlier.
Those were two entirely different feelings, but they strangely coexisted.
Woo Lejia sat with his legs crossed in the ring and closed his eyes. His essential Qi was being recovered bit by bit, and it began to circulate inside his body. Furthermore, the man’s mental conception went deep inside his body to merge with his essential Qi.
Ou Yangming withdrew his attack and thought, ‘This is as far as I can help you, and it’s up to you from now on…’
Nonetheless, Woo Lejia did not disappoint him. The moment the man sat with his legs crossed, Ou Yangming sensed a peculiar power being spread from his body.
It was mental power-mental power that specially belonged to Woo Lejia.
Martial artists often had numerous ways to assist their cultivations before they advanced to Extreme Grade, but they were also faced with the biggest bottleneck at the peak of Yang Grade Rank Five.
Nothing could help them at that stage.
This was because a Supreme Great Ancestor was qualified enough to contact Heaven and Earth’s power, thus their bodies were not the only thing that had to be tempered.
To enter Extreme Grade, one had to prepare one’s willpower. Only by incorporating one’s mental conception to one’s body, where fusion would occur, one could arrive at Extreme Grade.
Everyone was made different because of dissimilar intrinsic qualities. In fact, even twins did not have the same mental power.
One had to incite one’s mental power to be combined with one’s martial arts, by which one’s spirit and body would merge, to enter Extreme Grade.
Hence, a Supreme Great Ancestor could not help his or her younger generations even if one wanted to.
For countless years, it had been publicly known that one needed to rely on oneself to get to Extreme Grade.
Needless to say, there were some precious treasures in the world. If they were found through chanced encounters and were consumed, the difficulty of becoming a great ancestor could be lowered.
Having said that, those precious treasures were extremely rare and were near extinct. Besides, one would be considered opportunistic to become a Supreme Great Ancestor through this method, and one’s combat power would likely be inferior.
Ambitious martial artists would never resort to that method.
After going through a fearsome life-or-death fight, Woo Lejia was wholly tempered from head to toe. In particular, his willpower and mental conception received 360-degree changes.
A weak yet highly potential aura was born from the deepest part of his body.
It was his mental power.
Merely having mental power was not enough because the power had to be integrated with his body and fused with his essential Qi. His spirit and body had to merge.
It was yet another mountainous moat, and it was a stumbling block for many powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade.
However, when Woo Lejia operated his nearly depleted essential Qi, he naturally combined it with his mental power.
He went past the two greatest obstacles in one move and acquired the capital and strength to become a Supreme Great Ancestor.
The valiant and extreme power was being accumulated in his body, then it spread along with his essential Qi, which was constantly being recovered.
Ou Yangming carefully observed the change in Woo Lejia, and he slowly curled his lips into a smile. This was because he knew another impressive Supreme Great Ancestor was being born among the Humans in front of him.
Most importantly, he had somewhat single-handedly shaped the Supreme Great Ancestor!
