After experiencing such a severe test between life and death, Zhang Tie started to think about many things instinctively.
'What's the meaning of coming to Selnes Theater of Operations? '
'Why would I be framed by Three-eye Association once again? '
What was the reason for his survival this time?
Zhang Tie had a lot of questions such as these...
Although these questions looked simple, when Zhang Tie started to think about it seriously and face his own mind, he found that he had not fully figured out many things. He had not really seen through many things.
Whether it was for improving his battle strength, for Lan Yunxi or for his responsibility and honor as a human fighter, his original intention to come to Selnes Theater of Operations was correct. Until now, even though he had almost died, he still didn't regret about this decision.
What made Zhang Tie reflect and re-evaluate was his recognition of himself and the surrounding world.
He didn't see through himself and what he had to face. This was the fundamental reason why he fell in the hand of Senel Clan.
When Zhang Tie gained the title of Selnes Eagle. Although he appeared to be very calm and even a little unconcerned, in reality, This title made him feel complacent, made him feel that he was different from others, and also made him feel that he had the ability to do more things. It was this title of honor that made him start to lose himself, and finally, step by step, he walked into a desperate situation.
The root of it was when he received this honorary title. Zhang Tie didn't understand that he was not that poor teenager who needed to be a flesh-bag for a few silver coins in Blackhot City anymore.
He was no longer that kind of youth. That kind of life had long been far away from him. He couldn't go back even if he wanted to. However, the tenacious memory and life experience that he had gained from living in Blackhot City for over 10 years were still fresh in his mind. However, he had left a deep "thought mark" on himself. Most of the time, the 'thought imprint' became a 'window' that allowed him to understand and size up the world from a special angle.
Looking out of that window, the honor of Selnes Eagle was earth-shattering and worth defending!
Looking through the window, a LV 9 fighter who had mastered the Iron Blood Battle Qi was extremely powerful and could do whatever he wanted.
Looking at it now, how laughable was that?
Because of the first recognition, Zhang Tie unconsciously integrated into the huge, complex and dark pattern of allied human forces in Selnes Theater of Operations. Finally, he became a chess piece which was easily manipulated by Three-eye Association.
As for the second reason, Zhang Tie always had a fluke mind subconsciously. He didn't treat the promotion of his battle strength and level as the most important and urgent position. Instead, he always thought that he would let nature take its course. And it was precisely this thought. As a result, Zhang Tie became weak when he met any opponent above LV 11 and exposed himself to the conspiracy of Senel Clan. He didn't have the strength to resist.
After gaining the title of Selnes Eagle and shocking so many pursuers of Lan Yunxi, Zhang Tie started to prepare to improve his battle strength and become more mature. Even if he left Selnes Theater of Operations for the time being, he would not fall into such an impasse after gaining a secret cultivation method and breaking through to LV 11 or LV 12.
A low-level secret cultivation method that could be gained in the illegal market of demon hunters in Selnes Theater of Operations could not be gained after leaving Selnes Theater of Operations? That's absolutely bullsh * t. As long as he exchanged 100,000 vials of all-purpose medicament for a book of "Robust Ox Skill", he would have someone put it into his hands for sure when he returned to Jinyun Country, Ice and Snow Wilderness or even Norman Empire.
'Why didn't I do that?
In the final analysis, it was because I didn't consider it as the top priority when it was a matter of life and death. I gave myself too many flukes and excuses. I was a bit complacent about my battle strength of LV 9 subconsciously.
The cruel reality soon made me pay a heavy price for my mistakes.
I didn't see through my own advantages and problems; I was too stupid to be vigilant about Three-eye Association. '
'From the chase in Dragon Cave, the infiltration of Huaiyuan Palace, the catastrophe in Ice and Snow Wilderness, the assassination by bomb in Mocco City and the ambush of Three-eye Association in the illegal market of demon hunters, Three-eye Association had displayed its powerful ability to infiltrate and control human society in all aspects and the huge hidden resources of this organization. After being assassinated by Three-eye Association for 3 times, Zhang Tie, who had long been the thorn in the flesh of this organization, didn't doubt the task from the alliance command at all. That was really unforgivable. '
In Waii Sub-continent, Three-eye Association's infiltration into human society, countries and organizations had long reached a terrifying level. On the way to Zhang Tie's award ceremony, the alliance command failed to find out who the culprit was. It was a warning to Zhang Tie that someone in the alliance command might have a problem. Pitifully, Zhang Tie didn't notice it or be vigilant about the alliance command. 'Zhang Tie thought. Zhang Tie thought,' Three-eye Association has long penetrated into human society, countries and organizations.
'If I was a bit smarter, I should have completely severed all the relations with the alliance command from then on and ignored all the orders and requests from the alliance command. Pitifully, I didn't do that. ' 'In the final analysis, I'm just observing the alliance command, such a giant being full of authority and sense of justice, from the perspective of a small figure. I instinctively refused to believe that such a place which represented the hope of Waii Sub-continent could be a place which sheltered filth. ' 'It was a place where Three-eye Association could make schemes. '
Small figures would always have some unexplainable expectations in such an authoritative and righteous place. They would always believe that the higher the place was, the brighter it would be. This was the sorrow of all the small figures. However, Three-eye Association excelled at hiding themselves in the brightest place and doing the darkest things. 'They flaunted evil as holiness and disguised ugliness as justice. '
'I also made the mistake that all the small figures would make. '
'Later on, I encountered the crisis in the illegal market of demon hunters, which indicated that Three-eye Association's influence in Selnes Theater of Operations might have been out of my imagination. Three-eye Association's influence might have been out of my imagination. Therefore, they could grasp my trace so precisely. Therefore, they could make arrangements for me in such a timely manner. It's already a life-or-death crisis for me. ' It was a life-or-death crisis, which exposed many problems in Selnes Theater of Operations. 'I also realized that my battle strength as a LV 9 fighter was not guaranteed here. Pitifully, due to the pleasure of gaining "King Roc Sutra", I didn't think about the final warning brought by that life-or-death crisis which might prevent me from entering a desperate situation. '
After being forced to rush into the water by a LV 11 wing demon, Lan Yunxi had hoped that Zhang Tie could return to Huaiyuan Prefecture, especially after reaching LV 10. Pitifully, Zhang Tie didn't listen to her advice and continued to stay in Huaiyuan Prefecture.
After recovering my composure, Now that he thought about it, what were the reasons and logical thoughts that supported him to stay? 'If I put it out, I would even feel a bit ridiculous at this moment. 'At that moment, the reason and logic that supported me to stay here was my judgment about my current situation. As a LV 9 fighter, I should have no problem to stay here. LV 11 wing demons are not common. '
LV 9 was indeed enough for others. LV 9 fighters could kill LV 10 strong fighters by javelin in a split second. But for him, this was far from enough. Why was it not enough? It was because he was no longer an ordinary person or a nobody. He had already become an influential figure in many situations and could influence many things. The problems and difficulties he encountered were far beyond those of ordinary people and nobodies. This required him to have stronger strength as support.
Later on, Zhang Tie fully understood it. From this point of view, he started to review himself and many things that he had encountered.
'Sometimes, your enemies and opponents know your value better than you do. '
When Zhang Tie fell in the hand of Senel Clan, it was not Castle of Black Iron or "Great Wilderness Sutra" that saved Zhang Tie's life, but all-purpose medicament. Because of all-purpose medicament, Zhang Tie could stand until the critical moment. '
'Actually, since I invented all-purpose medicament and made all-purpose medicament become the strategic reserve of many countries, I have been not a commoner or a small figure anymore. '
In order to catch Zhang Tie, Three-eye Association almost used all their relationship networks and resources in Selnes, which could not be enjoyed by a commoner or a small figure. '
What Senel Clan touched Zhang Tie the most was that Zhang Tie had a chance to recognize himself and the world that he was going to face after experiencing so many hardships.
Over the years, Zhang Tie found that the biggest mistake that he had made was the dislocation between his perspective as a commoner, his real influence and the difficulties that he was going to face. As a result, he could not see clearly his own advantages, the most urgent problem and the biggest crisis that he was going to face. Additionally, he fell into the traps of his enemies and struggled in the traps and battlefields that were preset by his enemies. As a result, he was almost killed.
This dislocation was like an invisible rope and bondage to him. It enabled those who wanted to frame him to influence and determine his fate and the direction of his life.
Over the past one month, Zhang Tie's body was gradually recovering. Meanwhile, his mind and spiritual world were constantly changing and growing in such self-reflection and self-examination. As for a man, he would not grow up without setbacks and strikes.
In such a self-examination and self-reflection, the 15-year-old lad who lacked confidence in his bones was growing further and further away from Zhang Tie. The shadow of the 15-year-old lad who lacked confidence was getting farther and farther away from the current Zhang Tie. It was a brand new Zhang Tie, a more confident one. A more wise Zhang Tie who had a clearer and deeper understanding about himself was emerging.
'As the honor of Selnes Eagle was given by others, it was finally taken away by others. At the most critical moment, only I can save myself. '
'As for me who participated in the war between humans and demons, my life is the most precious thing. ' Strength was his most reliable partner, and freedom was his greatest advantage, because as long as he had freedom, he would not be able to do anything. 'As long as I have freedom, I can create infinite possibilities. Perhaps I'm not unrivaled at this moment; I'm even very weak in the eyes of powerhouses; however, I'm the one who is most capable of creating infinite possibilities... '
'There are infinite possibilities. ' 'From Castle of Black Iron. ' 'From the small tree, the "Great Wilderness Sutra" and my ever-growing self... '

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The colorful clouds in the sky of Castle of Black Iron were like a legendary intelligent colorful lamp before the Catastrophe. As time passed by, the light in Castle of Black Iron gradually dimmed. When it was dark, the colorful clouds gradually became as cool and glossy as the moon.
Zhang Tie watched the bonfires and flames gradually lighting up in the small town in the distance. Those people who were saved by him in the small town were going to hold a grand ceremony tonight. It seemed like a grand ceremony was being held. Everyone poured into the surroundings of the tallest and most imposing building in the town …
Because Zhang Tie could not hear what they were talking about. As it was too far away, Zhang Tie couldn't see it clearly. After watching them for a while, Zhang Tie yawned as he turned around and walked into the room out of boredom. When he recalled those delicious dishes cooked by Edward, Zhang Tie's saliva surged out of his mouth once again.
...
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem At this moment, in the grandest and tallest building in the town, as some respectable old men pulled down the curtains that hundreds of women spent over half a month to weave, a tall stone statue standing on the altar appeared in front of everyone.
At the sight of the stone statue, everybody in the building and the square outside the building knelt down piously.
"Great and merciful God, please accept the humble and pious reverence and offerings from your people. It's you who brought us to your immortal kingdom from the hell on earth. It's you who saved us from the sea of bitterness. It's you who sprinkled the sacred brilliance which warmed and cleansed our bodies and souls. We have nothing; however, we would like to dedicate our everything to you..."
Some old men knelt down in front of the crowd and prayed loudly. As they prayed, some innocent girls in linen clothes and beautiful floral crowns slowly walked out from one side and offered the fruits and grains that were carefully selected to the altar, namely at the foot of the stone statue in the most pious manner...
If Zhang Tie was here, he would definitely be startled at the sight of that stone statue. Because the face of that stone statue was completely carved according to his look. It was as same as that of Zhang Tie.
If the entire stone statue was taken out, it would definitely be a supreme master-level work of art full of sacred qi, which would make numerous sculptors gasp in amazement.
The stonemason was holding a small tree with luxuriant leaves in one hand and a spear in the other. He was standing in the burning hell barefooted. A sacred and brilliant arch gate was opened under his foot. All the desperate people in the hell were pouring towards that arch gate. Each of them had a vivid look. There was an immortal crown on the head of the stonemason, on which there were patterns of sun, moons, stars and various insects, fishes, birds and beasts...
This statue was made by Forrest Gump.
...
However, after supper, the itchiness on his broken leg had become more and more intense, making Zhang Tie restless. He wanted to scratch it, but he couldn't; if he didn't scratch it, he felt uncomfortable. If this feeling could disappear after being stabbed twice, Zhang Tie wouldn't mind doing that.
"Hmm, after a few days, Castle Lord, your wound will be healed. As it's dark, your preliminary recovery body has started to take effect. As a result, the wound on your broken leg is healing faster and faster!"
Zhang Tie sighed helplessly, "I know. I've not imagined that the wound on your broken leg could be so torturous after having preliminary recovery body!"
"After such a strike and torture, Castle Lord, after you completely recover, you could take some iron-body fruits which were produced due to this torture. By then, you will grow stronger and stronger. It would be difficult for you to suffer such a wound in the future!" Heller comforted Zhang Tie.
"I hope so!"
"Oh, Castle Lord, those people in Castle of Black Iron have built a shrine in the town where they consecrated your statue. They've already worshiped you as their God!" Heller explained casually. "That's right.
"They built a statue of me?" Zhang Tie became faintly startled. Closely after that, he became relieved. He just asked Heller, "Ahh, will my lifespan be shortened?"
"Shorten your lifespan?" Heller watched Zhang Tie with a dubious look. Closely after that, he understood that Zhang Tie was talking about a Chinese custom. If a living person built a statue for others to worship, especially a young person being worshiped by older people, his lifespan might be shortened. Heller replied with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't happen!"
"Oh, forget it!" Zhang Tie, who had been a fraud more than once, waved his hand and didn't care about it at all. "Let them do whatever they want. It's not a big deal as long as they don't have any negative influence on me!"
Heller also lowered his eyes and didn't mention this event anymore. Zhang Tie even forgot about it as if it was a trivial thing.
...
After recuperating for 3 days, Zhang Tie's wound on his leg had not completely healed; however, the last surging point on his spine had broken through the seal. Zhang Tie had completely recovered his battle strength as a LV 9 warrior. Additionally, he could start to cultivate and light new surging points...
"This time, I will not leave Castle of Black Iron until I eat up all the leakless fruits that I've accumulated for 3-4 years and greatly improve my battle strength and level."
