Ovis was somewhat nervous as he took the object, something so precious that even Lord Wu Luo handled it with such caution.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Is it just for me alone?" For some reason, the thought made him irresistibly happy.
Gu Shengyin nodded, "On the entire Beastman Continent, you are the only Beastman to learn it."
It was an extremely powerful and brutal Body Tempering Technique.
This was also known to Gu Shengyin from her time on the Sword Cultivation Continent, where a peerless monster, born without a Sword Heart, managed to reach the supreme position solely by relying on this Body Tempering method.
After him, countless people without the aptitude for Sword Cultivation tried to ascend to the heavens in one step through this technique, but none persisted; many perished under its exercises, cruel and demanding to the point of brutality.
The difficulty was such that a single misstep could genuinely cost one’s life.
Gu Shengyin asked Ovis earnestly, "This technique might only potentially make you the strongest on the Beastman Continent; there are no guarantees. Moreover, it’s extremely dangerous, and you could lose your life to it."
She added, "I have some other techniques here which, though not as exceptional, can ensure you safely become a formidable warrior without taking such risks. You don’t have to take this chance."
"No need." Ovis’s response was firm and decisive, "I’m willing to try this."
If I can’t become the most dazzling one, how could you ever truly fix your gaze upon me?
A faint smile appeared in Gu Shengyin’s eyes, "Very well, then, I hope to see the day when you are powerful enough to conquer the entire Beastman Continent."
"If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to consult me anytime."
Only then did Gu Shengyin reach out to rub her temples.
Giving this thing to Ovis was a risk.
Honestly, such a technique should never have appeared on the Beastman Continent, but Ovis was her lover. Though Gu Shengyin could not be sure of his real identity, she could vaguely sense that there was something extraordinary about him.
So she took a gamble, betting that the world’s laws simply wouldn’t notice, or rather, they wouldn’t apply to him.
To her surprise, when she gave the technique to Ovis, it really didn’t cause any ripples in the world’s laws.
Yet, she estimated it would work for him alone, which is why Gu Shengyin sternly warned Ovis to remember to burn it afterward.
Another reason was the danger involved in cultivating the technique.
This was of less concern to Gu Shengyin; based on what she knew about her lover, his status, fate, and the heights he reached in every world were no less impressive than her own as the protagonist.
Such a person was not prone to accidents so easily.
Having settled the matter with Ovis, Gu Shengyin started on her second task.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and without moving, her powerful Divine Sense began to spread outward.
She saw Ovis opening the sheepskin scroll in his room and studying it closely; she observed that most of the Male Beasts were training with the Body Tempering Technique she had taught; she watched as Female Beasts were tidying up the day’s hunt... and she even saw a pair of Beastmen... in the act.
Gu Shengyin’s Divine Sense paused for a moment, then sped up, spreading farther out, crossing the vast Great River, reaching the distant Strength Tribe.
She arrived at the place where Vika resided.
