At the mouth of the volcano, Ou Yangming's gaze shifted, and he smiled sheepishly. "I didn't expect that obtaining Volcanic Ores is such a particular task." He did not care about what others thought of him, and he said it openly.

When taking the Volcanic Ores, you have to break the special barrier with a strong force then slowly dive down along the magma. It's not surprising that you failed in your first attempt; I tried 100 times before I succeeded."

Judging from his voice, it seemed that he was extremely proud of the fact that he succeeded after 100 tries.
