Ou Yangming scanned Jiang Jiumei's body once more. He did it openly this time, so the aggressiveness in his eyes was clear to see.

Nonetheless, nobody had twisted thoughts anymore. In fact, even Zuoqiu Hongyuan became envious, and he wished Ou Yangming would look at his body that way too.

Even so, it was evident that Ou Yangming was not interested in him at all.

The young fellow nodded after a brief moment and retrieved peculiar stones from his interspatial bag again. As the Military Fire burned, the stones softened and turned into arm guards, as well as greaves.

Similarly, the four pieces of equipment were not only magic tools but were also attached with skills.

Anyone including the Supreme Great Ancestors from the capital would be overjoyed if they were given on, and they would show it off to the other people. Needless to say, they had to pay a price for it.

On the other hand, Jiang Jiumei was naturally given the treasures, but nobody would be jealous of her.

This was because they knew Ou Yangming was only doing this to make up for his guilt.

Jiang Jiumei was surprised and delighted. When she was given another four pieces of equipment, she felt like she was dreaming.

She subconsciously accepted the pieces of equipment and hesitated for a while before she put them on. With Ou Yangming's encouragement, she flashed and released the skills from the arm guards and the greaves.

Ou Yangming did his best this time to make amends for his fault in the past. He had smithed magic tools for Jiang Jiumei and put in a lot of effort on them.

After smithing a defensive suit according to Jiang Jiumei's figure, he had also attached the most practical skills to them. Of course, he had carefully selected the skills from many Skill Runes based on the young lady's abilities, then he carved them on her pieces of equipment.

Among the four new pieces of equipment, one was imprinted with a rune that could increase her speed while one was bound with a passive skill that could increase her success rate in dodging attacks. The latter could not be actively activated, but it would always be ready to be unleashed and could play a crucial role in important situations.

As for the skill on one of the arm guards, it was even more notable because Ou Yangming attached what he learned about the thunder mastery on it.

Although it could not be compared with Multi-armed King Kong's thunderbolt power, it was related to the Heavenly Thunder, after all, thus its effect would be extraordinary.

For the last arm guard, Ou Yangming engraved a unique rune, which could increase a skill's power, on it.

It was an active skill, but it was not offensive at all. By releasing one's essential Qi, one could increase the effect of the other skills by a few times.

Skills were powerful, but they had threshold values.

As forceful as a person could be, one could not fully gather one's essential Qi in one punch. However, the active skill could increase the total essential Qi released, making it one of the absurd skills available.

If Multi-armed King Kong was the user of the skill, Ou Yangming could not think of anyone or anything else in this world that could withstand its attack.

Once Jiang Jiumei performed the skills on her pieces of equipment, even Ni Yinghong became a little envious.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not plan to stop just yet. He mumbled to himself then retrieved a piece of beast skin.

It was not ordinary at all as it was a part of the essence from one of the Earthly Dragon Beasts.

Even though Ou Yangming had previously absorbed the Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh and most of its skin with Big Yellow, he reserved some essences in advance. Of course, he did not contribute to it; it was the work of the Supreme Great Ancestors that sliced the dragon beasts into pieces.

The Earthly Dragon Beast's sky flew up as Ou Yangming waved his hand. He fixed his gaze on it and began plotting an idea in his head.

As his Military Fire burned, the beast skin was ripped from the middle. The fire seemed to have transformed into a sharp blade at that moment as it cut the beast skin with ease.

Everyone else was in disbelief. Apart from Wu Hanning, the others were witnessing the Military Fire being used like that for the first time. They had always thought the Military Fire and the spiritual fire were both extremely hot as they could melt steel and iron. On the opposite, Ou Yangming's Military Fire was entirely different as he could change the fire's property as he wished.

It was more than just a mere temperature difference because his Military Fire could be turned into a sharp blade, which could be used to cut things.

The whole process was an eye-opener for Ou Yangming's companions.

Ou Yangming had a well-deserved reputation indeed. It was worth noting that there were not many people in the world that could control the Military Fire like that.

Despite that, they did not know it was because Ou Yangming's Military Fire was truly unique. Even if Wu Hongxi—the creator of the hot and cold smithing technique—had come, he could not have directly divided the Earthly Dragon Beast's skin with his Military Fire.

This had exceeded the limit of most Military Fires.

Ou Yangming moved his hands swiftly as he focused on the centermost part of his Military Fire, where the beast skin was constantly changing. The others felt strange when they looked at the fire because it seemed like it went through a wonderful change, which was related to space. It was as if the Military Fire was no longer in this world.

Wu Hanning was shocked. 'Has Ou Yangming gotten in touch with interspatial power?

'That's impossible…'

Ou Yangming stopped after some time. The Military Fire disappeared, whereas a cloak appeared in his hands.

The young fellow was even willing to give Jiang Jiumei a cloak.

At this point, Wu Hanning and the two other young ladies were becoming jealous.

"Elder Brother, I have enough already." Jiang Jiumei's face changed. She was a smart lady and was sharp-eyed due to her status as a Supreme Great Ancestor. As such, she noticed the change in other people's expressions.

That said, Ou Yangming shook his head and said without any hesitation, "Try it on."

Jiang Jiumei hesitated when she looked at the stubborn Ou Yangming, but she accepted the cloak in the end and put it on.

The moment her essential Qi became one with the cloak, her eyes lit up. She was exhilarated.

It turned out that the cloak carried a skill that had a similar effect with the martial art technique that she cultivated but with a different approach. If the two combined, she would definitely become more formidable.

As Jiang Jiumei circulated her essential Qi, queer hues were released by the cloak.

The hues were incredibly charming. It was more than just a physical effect as it could affect one's mind too.

When the other people looked at Jiang Jiumei, they realized that they could not identify her specific location anymore.

They clearly saw her standing there, but their eyes kept wandering, hence it seemed like she was repeatedly shifting places.

Everyone else was taken aback when they saw the magical scene. How would they deal with an opponent like that? Unless they were as sturdy as Multi-armed King Kong and could easily pull a mighty creature out of a big hole, they would be deeply troubled.

If one could not even grasp one's opponent's position in a battle, what was the point of continuing it?

Within the same rank, if a person possessed this type of equipment, would one not be able to wipe out one's peers easily?

Jiang Jiumei did not stop right there. Perhaps she was bursting with joy after receiving her favorite piece of equipment, or she simply wanted to show her powers to her new elder brother to let him know he gave the equipment to the right person. Therefore, the young lady activated her greatest abilities.

White lights were instantly released from her hands.

The lights were remarkable unique energies. Among all cultivators, only those with distinctive physical qualities could cultivate the martial art technique.

If one succeeded in cultivating it, one would not be disappointed by the technique's mightiness.

Light after light was released, but they underwent weird changes due to the cloak. The lights cooperated with the cloak's hues, causing them to seem more mysterious and unpredictable. The lights that appeared from time to time seemed to have descended from the sky, and they showed up so suddenly that they could not be identified. The other people were certain that they could not protect themselves completely if they were in the center of the lights.

Big Yellow widened its eyes and it tried to locate every light's path.

Even as it gave its all, it eventually felt like its vision was becoming blurry. The big yellow dog shrunk its neck and sensed the chilliness from its pieces of equipment, which made it feel more at ease.

'I suppose this young lady is quite capable, after all. She's not on par with me, but she's not much inferior too.'

The big yellow dog would not admit that it was not as great as Jiang Jiumei.

Jiang Jiumei wielded the longsword in her hand faster than before. Consequently, the lights released became ever-changing, to the extent that Ou Yangming began to feel rather afraid.

At last, when the young lady waved her longsword, the endless lights disappeared at once.

With that, the unusually magnificent firework show ended on a high note, but the other people felt like they had not gotten enough of it.

Ou Yangming sighed and noted, "Jiumei, this cloak is the best gift for you."

Everyone else agreed with him. At the end of the day, what a martial artist needed was a piece of powerful equipment that suited one's martial art technique the most.

Finally, Ou Yangming looked at Jiang Jiumei's legs.

Jiang Jiumei knew he meant well, but she could not help but blush, and she subconsciously shifted her legs backward.

Ou Yangming immediately noticed her reaction, so he looked up and got rid of the idea of making a pair of boots for her.

"Roar…"

All of a sudden, Multi-armed King Kong roared. It shook its arm, which it used to carry the two-legged lizard.

However, after such a long time, the lizard was already in a dying phase.
