Chapter 387 Impenetrable Defense

The paw gauntlet was one that completely belonged to the big yellow dog’s paw. Big Yellow did not feel any heat when its paw was burned by the unique Military Fire, so in a way, the equipment was almost directly smithed on its paw. Not to mention anything else, in terms of comfort only, there was definitely no better choice than this. Besides, although Big Yellow knew nothing about smithing art, it clearly sensed something when it released its unique ability; its mental conception seemed to have communicated with the equipment indescribably. It was as though the equipment had already belonged to a part of the dog’s body, and it was simply an extension from its skin’s surface. Most importantly, the equipment carried a distinctive yet powerful ability, which could flawlessly act in concert with the big yellow dog’s gifted earth series ability.

Of course, they were merely what the big yellow dog felt, but it was extremely confident about them.

Therefore, Big Yellow’s eyes gleamed like the stars after the equipment was smithed, and it stuck out its long big tongue. If Ou Yangming had not repeatedly told it not to anyhow lick the gauntlet, it would have done that long ago.

Ou Yangming looked at the equipment a few more times before he nodded as he was satisfied. This attempt was relatively important to him.

If he could succeed, there would be a huge leap in the equipment’s rank.

He rubbed his hands and took a deep breath, only to realize that he was quite nervous.

The young fellow curbed his thought and finally released the Appraisal Light.

Even though the Military Fire could be used to carry out the same process, this time, Ou Yangming wanted to verify his guess through the most official way.

[Item: Dog paw gauntlet]

(Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Common Grade, Rank One]

[Attributes: Sharpness +21, Toughness +21, Durability 21]

(Skill: Indestructible Defense +1]

‘I did it!’ Ou Yangming was overwhelmed with immense joy. As expected, once his mental power reached 99 points, and when he had a more profound understanding of nature’s way, everything changed drastically.

He could carve veined patterns for a skill on a piece of equipment.

This meant that from this day onwards, whatever he smithed would not only have the most basic attributes but would also carry unique skills.

They would be similar to the Blood Flight Art on his Blood Flight waist sash, the soundwave attack from the nine-right saber, the Power of Charm, and the Alluring Scent on the Charm Arm Guard, and so on.

Honestly, those skills were far more effective than basic attributes.

Back then, Wu Hanning was reluctant to abandon her longsword mainly because of the two unique skills it had.

A piece of equipment with at least one skill and one that had none were two completely different items. Similarly, there would also be a huge disparity between the functionalities of the two pieces of equipment on a battlefield.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. He felt refreshed because his hard work throughout this period had finally paid off.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog called out to him softly as if it was afraid of distracting him.

The young fellow was stunned, then he could not help but laugh. “Try it with your dog essential Qi!”

Big Yellow glared at him. ‘What did you mean by dog essential Qi? Can you speak properly?’

Nonetheless, it was not the time to be calculative over a petty issue. The big yellow dog was in high spirits because it had been ready for this moment for a long time.

A type of energy that specially belonged to a dog spread and entered the equipment at once. Next, the equipment glowed as a yellow light was released and enveloped the big yellow dog’s body.

Indestructible Defense.

It was akin to the power displayed by the big yellow dog when it was previously attacked by many Supreme Great Ancestors outside the city walls. With help from the yellow light, its physical defense increased by a huge margin, such that even magic tools could not hurt it at all.

However, Big Yellow adopted its own ability at that time.

This time, it was using the equipment’s power.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog roared with excitement. It was surprised and elated.

Ou Yangming felt that same way at first, but he soon furrowed his eyebrows and had a strange look on his face.

The sharp big yellow dog noticed the change in his expression, so it immediately calmed down and looked at him with worry. It had been completely subdued by Ou Yangming’s whims and superb abilities. If the young fellow noticed something off, that had to be the case.

Sure enough, Ou Yangming noted, “Big Yellow, I think it’s somewhat unsuitable…”

Big Yellow tilted its head and was in a daze. It looked at the paw gauntlet then at Ou Yangming’s eyes again, then it finally decided to listen to him.

Ou Yangming beckoned to the dog and said, “Take it off and let me check it again.”

The big yellow dog was reluctant, but it still removed the equipment obediently.

Ou Yangming studied the gauntlet for a while and remembered the natural imprints on it. Following that, he wrapped the equipment with his Military Fire, causing the veined patterns to vanish right away.

Big Yellow widened its eyes and mouth, then it let out an earth-shattering howl.

The sound spread far and wide, to the extent that it echoed in half of the prefecture, let alone the Ni residence.

Ou Yangming shuddered and turned to reprimand the big yellow dog, “Have you gone mad?!”

Nevertheless, he instantly saw the dog droop its mouth, and it was staring at him pitifully with teary eyes.

The fellow had a large build, but it looked so miserable at this moment.

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, and he was no longer furious.

“Big Yellow, what’s wrong?” He asked carefully.

Several figures appeared out of nowhere. Apart from the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, Ni Yinghong and Old Craftsman hurried over as well.

They could not hold back themselves after hearing the big yellow dog’s despairing howl. Though Ou Yangming had asked to be left alone with the dog, they were incredibly worried.

Ou Yangming looked at them embarrassedly. Just as he was about to explain, the big yellow dog cried loudly again and fell on one side of its body, then it kept rolling around. Big Yellow wailed so awfully that it sounded like pigs and sheep were being slaughtered, or like the bottom of a pot being scraped; the noise was giving everyone goosebumps.

At that point, even a fool could tell that the fellow was making a scene.

Everyone else looked at each other in disbelief.

If a shameless scum was making a scene on the street, they would not have spared a glance at all. On the contrary, if a top-notch great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast was doing the same, the nature of the scene would be entirely different.

“Brother Ni, what happened? Do you need our help?”

Far away, Elder Universe’s voice was heard.

Almost at the same time, many formidable auras appeared outside the Ni residence.

The people outside were naturally Supreme Great Ancestors that resided in the city. They were convinced by Ni Jingshen that the big yellow dog could not be controlled by a spirit beast to become the Humans’ enemy, but it was inevitable that they were still slightly wary. As such, they hurried over after they heard the big yellow dog’s howl. After all, if the half-spirit beast had truly gone mad, they needed to work together to minimize their losses as much as possible.

In actuality, if the big yellow dog was not in the Ni residence, the powerhouses would have swarmed in long ago.

Ni Jingshen’s face darkened, and he quickly responded, “Thank you for your good intention, senior, but we can handle this ourselves.”

He later turned and questioned softly, “Lil’ Friend Ou, what are you doing? Did you bully Big Yellow? Why is it so sad?”.

The big yellow dog acted shamelessly as it made a scene, but it did not intend to hurt anyone at all. It was simply protesting and expressing its dissatisfaction with something.

Given that Big Yellow was with Ou Yangming, he must have something to do with the matter. Of course, Ni Jingshen and the others also knew that very few people in the world could make the big yellow dog react like this.

Perhaps Ou Yangming was the only one who could force it to go to this extent.

Ni Yinghong strode toward Big Yellow. She seemed tiny beside it, but it noticed her right away. The big yellow dog turned its body halfway to the side and stretched its head toward the young lady with all its might. Subsequently, tears streamed down its face and dampened her clothes.

The young lady’s heart ached as she hugged a part of the big yellow dog’s head. She turned to reproach Ou Yangming, “Lil’ Ming, you mustn’t go overboard. Why did you bully Big Yellow?!”

Big Yellow blinked its eyes hard and thought, ‘Elder Sister Ying, you’re the best. Quickly teach him a lesson!’

Ou Yangming did not know whether to cry or to laugh. “Seniors, Elder Sister Ying, you misunderstood the situation.”

That said, the big yellow dog bellowed again as soon as he spoke. It cried softly and twisted its body at the same time, which was obvious that it was complaining to everyone else.

Despite that, as much as Big Yellow turned its body around, it did not move its head at all because Ni Yinghong was hugging it. It was quite a commendable skill.

Faced with questioning looks from the crowd, especially from Old Craftsman and Ni Yinghong, Ou Yangming had completely lost the battle.

He sighed and gave in. “Big Yellow, I’ll smith better and more reasonable pieces of equipment for you, deal?”

Big Yellow stopped completely at that instant. It no longer twisted its body nor kicked the air, and the tears in his eyes were gone. With that, the big yellow dog lay on the ground and barked cheerfully. “Woof!”

The other people were struck dumb, and they had the same thought.

“This fella has truly become a drama king!’
