Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 790 – God’s Gift

Chapter 790: God’s Gift

Yu Xiuming looked up with a complicated look at Ou Yangming.

Under the situation where he was already inferior in the first round, the second round had actually forced him to a dead-end. If he had failed, there would be no need to continue anymore. Therefore, the man adopted the smithing ability that he was the most adept in during the second round. He initially thought that he could recover some lost ground, but he ended up drawing with Ou Yangming.

Nonetheless, Yu Xiuming had developed an unyielding character after being taught by Master Kurong for a decade. The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer and the more strong-willed he was.

“Master Ou, you have a well-deserved reputation indeed,” Yu Xiuming remarked with a nod. He bowed at the young fellow and said, “I’ll start first for the third round.”

Ou Yangming grinned and nodded. “Master Yu, please go ahead.”

He naturally understood Yu Xiuming’s plan, which was to use his trump card. In that case, he must not be inferior in any way to be able to emerge victorious in this round too.

Even so, the young fellow was not afraid at all. Instead, he was looking forward to what would happen next.

If Master Kurong took up this challenge instead, given his capabilities as a Venerable One, nobody knew how exaggerated his skills and abilities would be. As confident as Ou Yangming was, he dared not say that he could easily defeat Danzhou’s greatest human blacksmith.

On the other hand, Yu Xiuming was only a Spiritualist. No matter how naturally gifted he was, as long as his smithing abilities had not surpassed a Spiritualist’s shackles, Ou Yangming would not be afraid of him.

A fire suddenly emerged from Yu Xiuming’s hand and enveloped some materials.

They were competing with their smithing arts, not if their materials were precious or not. As such, although the materials in front of them were not typical ones, they were definitely not rare.

Even if all of the materials were destroyed, it would only be an insignificant loss for the Beast King Sect.

Ou Yangming squinted his eyes to watch closely.

Not only him, but everyone that understood smithing art roughly focused as they did not want to miss the rare opportunity.

Yu Xiuming opened up his fire without concealing it because he wanted to perform his special ability, hence everyone could see the wonders inside.

Needless to say, one would only be able to observe some superficies. As for how the power inside would be distributed, condensed, and so on, even the most experienced person would not be able to find out everything. Nevertheless, for true smithing powerhouses, even the superficies were enough to let them benefit greatly.

As the fire burned, the materials in Yu Xiuming’s hand were slowly turned into a helmet.

Upon seeing this, other than Ou Yangming, the others were dazed too.

This was because they could tell that Yu Xiuming’s smithing process was coming to an end, but they did not notice anything unusual. In other words, if they were not mistaken, the helmet was only a slightly tougher product.

Given the occasion, if he could gain victory with that helmet, he must be underestimating the numerous heroes present.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and was somewhat eager to see what would happen.

He knew Yu Xiuming’s work would not be that simple, by which the man would surely reveal his trump card at the very last minute.

Yu Xiuming suddenly looked up at Ou Yangming as though he heard his thoughts. It was not a provocative look, but a silent declaration of war.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. A luster flickered in his eyes.

‘Come on, no matter what you have up your sleeves and how brilliant your equipment will be, I’ll be taking you on right here.’

This was a display of confidence from both smithing masters, who expressed their thoughts to one another at the moment in an unexplainable way.

Yu Xiuming later looked away and stared in front of him. His fire remained, but an indescribably queer aura appeared around him.

Chill intents were released from his body. When they began to spread, the temperature around him was greatly affected too as if the temperature plunged in a split second.

In actuality, given the cultivation bases of the people present, even if the temperature went lower, their bodies would unlikely be affected. This would apply to Old Craftsman too.

It was true that Old Craftsman had just started to cultivate martial arts, thus his physical quality could not be mentioned on equal terms with that of other people. Despite that, it was no match for the Beast King Sect’s profoundness as they had been mixing precious spiritual medicines in the old man’s meals every day.

Moreover, Gu Jiacheng had done the proportion by considering Old Craftsman’s bearing capacity. Consequently, even though the old man did not have a high cultivation base, he was so abundant in Qi and blood that he was not poorer than any young person. Of course, his resistance against cold had also increased and was no longer the same as before.

In any case, since the temperature dropped significantly without warning, there was a huge contrast.

Ou Yangming’s eyes finally lit up, and he curled his lips into a faint smile. ‘You’re finally using your trump card. I hope you won’t disappoint me.’

As Yu Xiuming shook his wrist, the intense chillness in the air paused and gushed toward the helmet at an unbelievable split.

It took only a blink of an eye for the helmet to be enveloped by a white mist. What surprised everyone more was Yu Xiuming’s fire did not show signs of stopping at all. As a result, the red and white colors interlaced and released a stunning luster.

‘What’s that?’

Be it those that knew nothing about smithing art of the disciples from the Beast King Sect’s Smithing Hall, they could not help but look at each other upon seeing this as they were at a loss.

They exchanged glances but noticed that they were all bewildered.

Ou Yangming tried hard to recall what he read from the ancient books about smithing art. He had a vague impression of reading about something similar from a certain book, but too little information was recorded, so it would be difficult for him to find the answer right away.

Amidst the crowd, Master Kurong was the only one putting his hand behind his back with a proud look on his face.

‘It’s this indeed. After cultivating for so many years, this young fella has finally grasped this smithing technique.’

It was worth noting that this technique could not be sought by blacksmiths that were only Spiritualists. One could only communicate with Heaven and Earth and comprehend the nature of the universe when one advanced into a Venerable One, which would be when one could gather invisible power from the void to achieve this awe-inspiring technique.

Yu Xiuming was not a Venerable Blacksmith, but his natural gift in smithing art was exceptionally rare indeed. Besides, since he was guided by a famous master for years, he managed to grasp the skill.

Master Kurong beamed. He was glad and proud to have found a successor.

All of a sudden, Yu Xiuming curbed his fire. With that, the beautiful and colorful scene that he created vanished and no longer existed.

Everyone else then looked at the equipment in front of Yu Xiuming as though they had just come back to their senses. As expected, it was a helmet. Having said that, after witnessing the scene earlier, even the slowest person knew it was not a simple helmet.

Lu Jinfeng stepped forward and asked, “Master Yu, are you done smithing?”

Yu Xiuming nodded and handed the helmet to the appraiser.

Lu Jinfeng dared not delay the matter at all, so he quickly released his Appraisal Light. Following that, a strange look was seen on his face.

The hearts of Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque skipped a beat, and they mumbled, ‘Is the helmet’s attribute so unbelievable that Lu Jinfeng’s struck dumb?’

Lu Jinfeng looked up and announced sternly, “This helmet’s a High Grade magic tool, and it… Carries a God-given Ice-resistant attribute.”

“What?”

“A God-given Attribute?”

“Impossible!”

Shouts of disbelief were heard from the crowd.

If it was merely an Ice-resistant attribute, the people might be surprised, but they would not have such exaggerated reactions.

However, if the attribute was God-given, the situation was entirely different.

A God-given Attribute—even those that were not blacksmiths understood what it meant. It was an attribute that was gifted by God, and it was not something that could be added using materials.

Furthermore, a God-given Attribute was usually mightier than attributes that were added using ordinary materials. Even if the attribute itself was poorer, its mightiness might be the total opposite.

That said, every God-given Attribute was rare and was known as God’s gift.

The only thing was that everyone witnessed the bizarre scene that was created by Yu Xiuming earlier, hence even a fool knew the attribute was not a God-given Attribute, but was made by him.

If that was the case, did it not mean that Yu Xiuming represented the meaning of God-given?

At that time, everyone looked at each other and could not help but cast worried looks at Ou Yangming.

Perhaps Ou Yangming would have to surrender in this round.

As great as an attribute smithed by a human, it could not be compared with a God-given one.

Peng Yanbing remarked with a dark face, “What a God-given Attribute. Hehe, I didn’t think that you’ve learned a Venerable Blacksmith’s smithing technique, Master Yu. This is worth congratulating.”

The crowd clamored once more. Peng Yanbing was the sect leader from the Beast King Sect’s smithing hall, after all. Being the person with the best smithing art in the sect, he pointed out the smithing technique’s origin, which was a Venerable Blacksmith’s technique.

Yu Xiuming smiled. “Brother Peng, you overstated it. It only achieved it by chance, so it’s not worth mentioning at all.”

Peng Yanbing sneered and added, “A Venerable One’s technique is astounding, but it’s not one of a kind. If you think that you’ll be able to win with that, Master Yu, hehe, I’m afraid that you’ll be disappointed.”

Yu Xiuming was stupefied. “Brother Peng, what do you mean?”

The sect elder laughed out loud and turned around to say, “Master Ou, why don’t you refine a flying carpet as an eye-opener for them?”
