Chapter 640: Mark

Ou Yangming looked at the boundless tree wall then at his small body.

He knew that his Military Fire was marvelous, and it was also the reason the Wutong Tree valued him so much. Nonetheless, he would be overestimating himself if he wanted to leave a mark on the tree.

The face on the bark flashed a flattering smile as though it perceived Ou Yangming’s thought. “Sir, don’t worry. I’ll fully cooperate with you and won’t disappoint you.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and expressed, “Honestly, can you change your face? I’ll have a mental disorder if I look at you.”

The tree person was imitating Ou Yangming’s face. Even if anyone else was in his situation, one would not be happy about it.

There was an immediate foundational change in the tree person’s face but instead of a male’s face, a pretty female’s face appeared this time. Moreover, the tree person’s voice changed drastically and became pleasing to the ear.

“As you wish, sir.”

Ou Yangming shook his head helplessly. He wanted to leave, but he vaguely sensed the Wutong Tree’s determination.

If he simply left without bothering about the Wutong Tree, nobody would know what crazy actions it would take. After all, the tree had been waiting for over 10,000 years in this hidden, small world, and it was similar to a drowning person that suddenly saw the hope of being saved. If its wish could not be fulfilled…

As Ou Yangming extended his arm, his fire burned. “How can I leave a mark?”

The tree person was elated, hence it quickly answered, “Sir, you only need to leave a burn mark on my body.”

Ou Yangming raised another question, “Where?”

“The main trunk, of course.” The face shook and disappeared all of a sudden, then it was replaced by a handprint.

Without needing to ask, the handprint’s size was definitely the same as that of Ou Yangming’s hand.

Ou Yangming’s face twitched. ‘How long has this old dryad been waiting? It’s quite rare for it to be so proactive.’

He flashed to the side of the tree wall, then he pressed it hard with his Military Fire.

Given that he was incredibly sharp-eyed, he perfectly placed his hand on the handprint on the bark. Following that, his blazing Military Fire burned intensely.

Ou Yangming did not hold back at all this time; he went all-out. In front of this unpredictable giant tree, he did not think about wanting to conceal his abilities at all.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was in disbelief because the old tree’s bark seemed to be unaffected by his Military Fire even though he had released the fire to an extremity. Not to mention being burned at all, there was no mark at all.

The young fellow widened his eyes, and he was so shocked that it was indescribable.

His Military Fire could melt any strong materials in extremely short times, but he felt helpless against the old bark.

No matter how powerful the fire he released, the bark was unaffected and did not change at all.

Ou Yangming’s face changed. Just as he was going to withdraw his fire, he heard the Wutong Tree shout with excitement, “Ah, that’s such a mighty Heavenly Phoenix Fire. Sir, you’re truly amazing.”

His face turned red with rage as he questioned furiously, “Hey, do you find me amusing?”

He could sense that his fire could not hurt the Wutong Tree at all, but the tree person praised him for having a remarkable Heavenly Phoenix Fire. Was it not obvious that it was mocking him?

The tree person instantly responded, “Sir, please calm down. I dare not find you amusing at all. It’s just that your fire’s power is astonishingly pure… It’s the purest Heavenly Phoenix Fire.
