Chapter 67 General Call
Yan Haobo and others surrounded Ouyang Ming to show their courtesies. He naturally knew that these people's intentions were nothing more than asking for a passable piece of equipment. However, if it was not necessary, Ou Yangming would not be able to forge magical weapons for them just because of a few flattering words from the other party.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and then the crowd stepped aside, and Liu Zhengye slowly entered the house.
He looked at Ouyang Ming and said with a smile: "Master Ou is here, the general needs you, follow me!"
Ouyang Ming responded, stood up and followed him away. However, in Ouyang Ming's heart, there was some emotion.
Just one month ago, Liu Zhengye was still following Chen Yifan and the old craftsman's name, mouthing one kid at a time. But seeing each other now, he has changed his name to a master.
It seems that if you want to gain the respect of others, the only way is to make yourself stronger. Only when one's strength reaches the point where others cannot ignore it, can one truly receive the courtesy that matches one's status.
After a while, they came to the general's mansion.
When Chen Yifan saw Ouyangming, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Ouyangming, you've really made a big splash this time!"
Ouyang Ming sneered, and said, "General, you're flattering yourself. In fact, I just forged some equipment for them. The equipment that is really used is the warriors in the army."
Chen Yifan nodded slightly, and said, "It would be great if you could think like this. However, this time, both Yu Hailiang from the Southern Camp and Jiang Chengwei from the Central Camp highly respected you, and they must give you the first credit. In the end, it will be General Deng who decides." , set your first priority."
Ou Yangming naturally knew that General Deng was the chief general of the central battalion, and also the real commander of this barracks. Now that he has made a decision, even if the rest of them want to object, it is useless.
Chen Yifan continued: "General Deng has recorded a thousand meritorious service for you, are you satisfied?"
Ouyang Ming's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Thank you, General!"
Chen Yifan waved his hand and said: "Thank you, you are also General Deng, you don't need to thank me." He paused, and then said: "Actually, since you have refined the Explosive Arrow and used it to defeat the enemy, then it is your first achievement It can also be said."
Ouyang Ming smiled all over his face, and it was definitely a surprise to be able to obtain meritorious service.
Chen Yifan changed the subject suddenly, and said, "I heard that you want to compete with Master Ni in forging skills, General?"
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Exactly."
Chen Yifan said slowly: "Master Ni is a well-known spirit fire forging master in Fucheng. You have only mastered arms for a few years, so how can you compare with him? Isn't this overthinking yourself?"
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, and they both frowned slightly.
They called Ouyang Ming here because they wanted him to cancel the competition with Ni Yunhong.
In fact, considering how long Ouyang Ming had been in possession of the arms, no one would criticize him even if he avoided fighting instead of fighting. Because everyone knows that mastering the art of forging is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.
However, now Ouyang Ming has won the first place in the meritorious service of hunting half-elven beasts, and his reputation is in full swing.
At this time, Ni Yunhong's challenge had some ulterior motives.
"Hey, Master Ou, do you know that the general has some disagreements 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'll tell you the truth. Master Ni is a forging expert invited by General Tian from Fucheng. He originally wanted to deal with the old craftsman. But now you happen to be in the limelight, so I'll take you." He paused, and said, "It's fine if you win this fight, but if you lose, the general's face will be damaged as well!"
Chen Yifan waved his hand lightly,
Said: "This general's face is nothing more than that, but what I'm afraid of is that some people will say that the old craftsman's forging skills are nothing more than that. Therefore, Ni Yunhong can challenge the old craftsman with ease. Hehe, although the old craftsman's skills It's very high, but after all, it's an old age, so it may not be able to handle it!"
Ouyang Ming's expression froze, he really hadn't thought about this before.
The fists are slightly clenched, this time there must be no loss in this fight.
Liu Zhengye smiled slightly, and said, "Master Ou, in fact, you can use the excuse that you haven't mastered weapons for a short time to dismiss the competition." He said solemnly, "I promise, no one dares to criticize or look down on you because of this."
Ouyang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he understand what the two of them meant.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "General, what is spiritual fire?"
Chen Yifan thought for a while, and said, "A powerful blacksmith is either the weapon bestowed by the royal family, or the spiritual fire handed down by the sect family. This Ni Yunhong is a genius of the Ni family. It's not something you can resist."
He maximized Ni Yunhong's strength as much as possible, just to make Ouyang Ming retreat when he knew it was difficult.
However, a smile flashed across Ouyang Ming's face, and he said, "General, since I can win him once, I can naturally win him a second time. You can rest assured that he must be the one who loses!"
"What, you beat him?" Chen Yifan asked in surprise.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "General, do you know about night fighting in the military camp?"
Both Chen Yifan and Liu Zhengye's eyes fell on him, and they almost said in unison: "The young master and the masked man..."
Ouyang Ming smiled and said: "That's right, it's Ni Yunhong and me."
Chen Yifan frowned slightly, and said: "Ni Yunhong's family is profound, it's not surprising that he can defeat Yan Chengcai and others, but let's talk about you..." His eyes patrolled Ouyang Ming for a moment, and gradually became surprised: " Good boy, how old are you in Lipin now?"
Ouyang Ming proudly said: "Strength ranks fourth."
Before entering the dense forest, he was actually only the third-class force. However, after absorbing the flesh and blood of the half-elf beast, it allowed him to ascend to the sky in one step. Not only did he reach the fourth level of strength, but the fourth level was almost at the peak, and he was almost on the verge of reaching the fifth level.
"Fourth-class strength product, fourth-class strength product!" Chen Yifan murmured, but there was an unconcealable look of fear in his eyes.
Not only him, but 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 sheet of paper, and Chen Yifan even taught him the horse squatting stance. Although they all know that this kid is full of energy and blood, he is a piece of material for martial arts, and they were all surprised by his rapid cultivation to the first-class strength.
However, the fourth class of Lipin...
How much time is this? If one finger represents a month, it seems that even one hand is not enough, right?
However, it was just this little time that allowed a little guy who had just practiced martial arts to cultivate to the fourth-class state of strength.
Chen Yifan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted, "Zhengye!"
Liu Zhengye had followed him for many years, so he naturally understood, and said, "Master Ou, be careful." Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped forward and rushed towards Ouyang Ming.
With a flip of the palm, he hit Ouyang Ming's face head-on.
Ou Yangming could only feel the wind whistling in his ears, and the surging energy was like a knife's edge scraping his face, which made him feel a dull pain.
A powerful force, this is a force so powerful that he simply cannot contend with it.
However, Ouyang Ming's eyes narrowed at this moment, and there was a palpitating light in those pupils that seemed to have only one slit.
Afterwards, his body swayed, as if he fell obliquely to the left, and the force of the blowing fist suddenly lost its target.
"Huh?" Liu Zhengye let out a low cry in surprise, and Ouyang Ming's transfer made him feel extremely uncomfortable. It was as if he could knock the opponent down with one punch, but the opponent turned around and ran to his side, and it was a place that the fist could not reach, so he missed the punch. Moreover, with the position he was standing at this time, if he wanted to change his fist halfway, he needed to make greater efforts.
However, there was a big gap between the strength of the two of them after all, Liu Zhengye paused and turned around abruptly.
However, when his circle had just turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming behind him.
Cold sweat suddenly oozes from Liu Zhengye's vest. When did that kid actually run behind him? Without thinking, he immediately raised his foot and kicked back. However, this kick didn't hit anything, as if it was kicked in the air, but it made his figure a little unstable.
With a soft drink, Liu Zhengye quickly stood up. However, just before his figure was fully stabilized, a foot kicked his ankle like a ghost.
If Liu Zhengye had set his horse stance, or if he had been prepared, even if Ouyang Ming kicked with all his strength, he would never let his figure shake in the slightest.
However, at this moment, Liu Zhengye turned continuously, and his kick just happened to be empty. Just when his figure was swaying, this kick immediately caused him to lose his balance and fell to the ground. However, his reaction was extremely fast. Before his body really touched the ground, one hand supported his body, and he immediately turned over and stood firm.
These few fights can be said to be as fast as lightning. The two sides have no moves at all, and they are all playing at will.
However, Liu Zhengye, whose cultivation had already reached the fifth level of the Yin rank peak, failed to take Ouyang Ming down. Moreover, seeing his blushing face, it was obvious that he had suffered a small loss instead.
The fourth rank of the strength rank, the fifth rank of the Yin rank, the gap between them is not just a big rank.
Liu Zhengye turned around abruptly, and there was no trace of contempt in his eyes anymore. He stared at Ouyang Ming with a solemn expression, like a wild beast that would choose to eat someone at any time, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
However, Ouyang Ming stood opposite him like this, his body was light and light, as if he had no weight at all. As for the aura Liu Zhengye released, he never paid attention to it at all.
After all, Ouyang Ming had been in close contact with a half-elf beast. Although it was a dead one, in terms of coercion, it was not something Liu Zhengye could match.
