Powerfully Assisting Ouyang Ke

Lending Ouyang Ke His Strength

Elsewhere, Ouyang Ke returned to his room with the two books Jiang Feng had given him.

"If they're truly as miraculous as he says, then I, Ouyang Ke, really have picked up a treasure," Ouyang Ke murmured to himself.

He was clearly doubtful of Jiang Feng's claim that he could multiply his strength.

Jiang Feng was indeed very strong, but Ouyang Ke had also seen plenty of people stronger than Jiang Feng.

There were quite a few Heaven Martial Realm martial artists, and some he was on good terms with, yet none of those people had ever claimed they could multiply his strength. No matter how strong Jiang Feng was, he was still ultimately in the Earth Martial Realm. How could he possibly do it?

With a skeptical attitude, Ouyang Ke opened the first book. After reading only two lines, he was instantly drawn in.

This was the mental cultivation method Jiang Feng had given him. To be honest, there were parts of the method he could not quite understand right away. However, after merely reading through it once, Ouyang Ke could be certain that this method was absolutely and completely suited to him. Moreover, the quality of the method far surpassed the one he was currently practicing.

Every martial artist's constitution was different. If one could find a mental cultivation method that perfectly matched one's own constitution, cultivation would certainly yield twice the result with half the effort. On that foundation, if one could also pursue the quality of the method, then it would be even more flawless.

But in this world, how many martial artists were there? And how many mental cultivation methods could be obtained at will?

Thus, finding a mental cultivation method that perfectly matched one's own constitution could only be an unrealistic dream.

Yet right now, in Ouyang Ke's own eyes, the mental cultivation method Jiang Feng had given him perfectly matched his constitution.

Ouyang Ke was almost unable to contain his excitement. He had never imagined that after he chose to follow Jiang Feng, before he had even done anything, Jiang Feng would give him such an extraordinary mental cultivation method.

Unable to restrain his excitement, Ouyang Ke immediately began comprehending the method.

His talent was extraordinary to begin with, so his comprehension proceeded as smoothly as wind and water.

Three days later, he finally thoroughly understood and mastered this mental cultivation method.

Ouyang Ke slowly opened his eyes. His entire aura surged like a rainbow, vastly different from before. "Perfect. It's truly too perfect!"

Only after truly understanding it did Ouyang Ke finally see through the mysteries of this mental cultivation method. Not only did it perfectly match his constitution, it even had a mutually reinforcing effect with his blade art.

His set of Wind-Dust Flowing Clouds blade art emphasized moving like flowing clouds and running water—clean, efficient, not letting even a drop of water cling to him—while this mental cultivation method Jiang Feng had given him happened to help him bring his blade art to its utmost limit.

"Such a profound cultivation method, so suited to me—it's practically tailor-made for me!" Ouyang Ke sighed.

His words were merely a sigh of amazement, not something he truly believed. After all, he did not think that Jiang Feng, a youth in the Earth Martial Realm, had the ability to create such a profound cultivation method.

Yet the truth was exactly that. This was precisely something Jiang Feng had tailored for him.

"Right, there's also the secret manual for improving Unrestrained Blade." After his excitement over the mental cultivation method, Ouyang Ke immediately remembered the other book.

After the shock of the mental cultivation method, Ouyang Ke was thoroughly convinced by Jiang Feng. Although Jiang Feng had told him that the method was only something Jiang Feng had selected, the fact that he could produce a method of such quality, and one that so perfectly suited Ouyang Ke, was enough to prove Jiang Feng's deep foundations and unique vision.

Therefore, Ouyang Ke also held extremely high hopes for this improved secret manual of Unrestrained Blade.

He opened the book and carefully read through it.

The further Ouyang Ke read, the more terrifying he found it!

"He actually only watched me use it once, and he was able to see through everything—even analyze my Unrestrained Blade so thoroughly and vividly! And the flaws and gaps within it are things even I never noticed!"

"Heavens, he... is he even human?!"

If the mental cultivation method Jiang Feng had given him proved Jiang Feng's deep foundations and unique vision, then this improved secret manual for Unrestrained Blade before him could only prove that Jiang Feng was truly a talent the heavens would envy, a monstrous figure!

"He can even improve a martial skill created by an expert of the Transcendental Spirit Realm!!!"

At this moment, Ouyang Ke was truly not merely surprised. He felt terror!

"Fortunately, I've already chosen to follow him. Otherwise, not only would I be dead, I'm afraid I would never have known that such a heaven-envied talent could actually exist in this world!"

At this moment, absolute loyalty had already been born in him toward Jiang Feng! He felt that being fortunate enough to follow Jiang Feng was an opportunity granted to him by the heavens and by Jiang Feng, and he had to cherish it properly!

After the shock passed, Ouyang Ke calmed himself and began to comprehend it.

His understanding of Unrestrained Blade had already reached the fourth level before this. The secret manual Jiang Feng had given him not only improved Unrestrained Blade, it also wrote down part of Jiang Feng's own understanding, causing the fog to clear from before his eyes at once. He broke through the fourth level, crossed the fifth, and reached the sixth level!

"Good, good!" Ouyang Ke was filled with towering ambition. "With this mental cultivation method and the improved Unrestrained Blade, my strength has increased by far more than twofold! The current me may already have the strength to fight Bai Wanli, the first on the Earth Ranking!"

That was right. Although Ouyang Ke had never crossed hands with Bai Wanli, he had studied this legendary figure very deeply. In the past, he could only sigh that such an outstanding man as Bai Wanli actually existed in this world. But now, he had actually given birth to the confidence to fight him. He believed that even if he could not win, he could at least fight him to a standstill!

"Hahahahaha..." Ouyang Ke threw back his head and laughed without restraint!

Ouyang Ke's growth was in fact completely within Jiang Feng's control.

When Jiang Feng previously told Ouyang Ke that he could help him enter the top five of the Earth Ranking, that had actually been a modest way of putting it. According to his calculations, with Ouyang Ke's talent, if he could gain even a little more comprehension of the profundities of Unrestrained Blade, he would be able to reach the sixth level. Once he did, together with the mental cultivation method Jiang Feng had given him, he should have a chance to contend for the top of the Earth Ranking.

The reason he said only "a chance," and the reason he was so modest, was mainly because Jiang Feng had never seen the people on the Earth Ranking fight and knew nothing about their strength.

As for whether Ouyang Ke, after possessing such strength, would turn around and refuse to recognize him, then come back to deal with him, Jiang Feng was not worried either.

Because Jiang Feng had absolute confidence in suppressing Ouyang Ke.

Ouyang Ke's details had already been grasped by him thoroughly and clearly. Ouyang Ke's strongest strike was nothing more than Unrestrained Blade.

But Jiang Feng's comprehension of Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade was far higher than Ouyang Ke's own!

In order to improve Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade, he had studied Unrestrained Blade for half the night, naturally comprehending it to the utmost limit. Otherwise, he would not have been able to improve it.

If Ouyang Ke truly wanted to turn hostile, Jiang Feng had the confidence to put Ouyang Ke to death within three moves!

And he would not even need to activate the bloodline power of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King!

Dragon Tower had summarized Jiang Feng's strength as fifth on the Earth Ranking, but it did not know that after Jiang Feng defeated Ouyang Ke, compared to before he defeated him, with only that before and after, that single instant, he was already on two completely different levels!

Zhushan Town should have been peaceful, but over the past few days, the air had been filled with a heavy, killing chill.

Because of Jiang Feng's rise, this once-remote little town had now ushered in its momentary glory.

Jiang Feng had suddenly appeared in fifth place on the Earth Ranking, and the news spread as if it had grown legs. Countless experts rushed into the town, all wanting to glimpse his true face.

Of course, there was no shortage of perfected Earth Martial Realm experts who wanted to challenge him, either.

Most of these people were monsters who had lived for over a hundred years, with eccentric tempers, arrogant and self-satisfied, ready to start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Because of that, over the past few days, the town had been disturbed beyond all peace by this group, and quite a few houses and buildings had been destroyed.

However, there was only one place no one dared rashly go and disturb.

That place was an inn in the town, where Jiang Feng was in seclusion.

Simply because there, an expert on the Earth Ranking was keeping watch—Ouyang Ke!

The people who came at first had no idea Ouyang Ke had actually begun following Jiang Feng, and were more or less astonished.

After all, for someone like Ouyang Ke, even if he had been defeated, that did not necessarily mean he would bow his head and follow another.

Everyone knew that although Ouyang Ke was fifth on the Earth Ranking, he still had room to improve. Given time, he was certain to step into the Heaven Martial Realm. To make Ouyang Ke follow them, even an ordinary Heaven Martial Realm expert could not do it.

It was precisely because of this that, for the sake of cultivation, Ouyang Ke had only taken the position of chief honored guest elder in Qi Gongfu's residence, and had not completely submitted to Qi Gongfu.

But now, he had actually followed Jiang Feng!

This news was truly astonishing. After it spread throughout all of Hengshan Prefecture, it was naturally pushed onto the hot discussion list.

As for Qi Gongfu, he was so furious smoke poured from all seven orifices. Thinking back, how many tempting conditions had he thrown at Ouyang Ke? Yet he still had not been able to make Ouyang Ke follow him. Now Ouyang Ke had actually followed a wet-behind-the-ears brat.

However, because of this, even more people wanted to see Jiang Feng's true face, wanted to see just what kind of divine power he possessed!

Onlookers, challengers, those wanting to exchange pointers—all came knocking one after another.

And those who dared challenge him were, without exception, outstanding figures among the Earth Martial Realm!
