According to Heller's suggestion, Zhang Tie had better take iron-body fruits when he reached LV 10. In this way, he could reach a new height in his ability to bear injuries.
Previously, when Zhang Tie trained in the Crystal Battle Fortress, he had to bear at least 7 days' strikes to gain an iron-body fruit. However, after being caught by Senel Clan, he had already hung 5 iron-body fruits on the small tree after only a few days' torture. This indicated how cruel the torture was.
Take Zhang Tie's leg as an instance, the broken bones on his leg were completely crushed by torture instruments. The pain was as painful as hell. Humans couldn't bear it at all. Besides, he was whipped on his scalded skin and all sorts of tortures, any of which could make him collapse completely.
Even a piece of iron could be melted in such a cruel torture. However, Zhang Tie endured it.
Of course, Zhang Tie could taste the fruits that he had suffered from the hell-like pain. Because of the fruits, Zhang Tie felt that he should appreciate the small tree. Because of the small tree, all the pains that he had experienced were not completely pains. Additionally, he could see hope in despair and walk out of the cell persistently.
It took Zhang Tie 2 days to digest the 5 iron-body fruits.
Similar to how when the number of surging points was ignited to a certain degree, a qualitative change would occur. After completely digesting the 5 iron-body fruits, Zhang Tie felt that his body had undergone a "qualitative change" in bearing the strikes and injuries.
In Zhang Tie's opinion, this qualitative change made him understand what was "reinforced iron bone". Therefore, he understood the meaning of "iron bones". The best explanation of "iron bones" was the data that Heller got after he digested 5 iron-body fruits.
Heller said that after a few years of practice, Zhang Tie had finally made a "small success" in taking iron-body fruits. What was the effect of this "small success"? It was more than 95% of Zhang Tie's body parts and regions. Besides eyes, nose, ears and genitals, Zhang Tie was completely immune to pure brute force and blunt weapon strikes below 900 kg. He was completely immune to pure brute force and blunt weapon strikes below 900 kgs. Strikes below 900 kgs could not cause any harm to him at all.
Even his eyes. Nose. Zhang Tie's ears and genitals, which were very fragile, could withstand pure brute force and blunt weapon strikes ten times more than that of commoners.
Besides being completely immune to blunt weapons and brute force damages below 900 kg, this body could also bear physical damages and battle Qi strikes such as sharp weapons, high temperature and flames.
Heller told Zhang Tie how his body could bear these damages in a vivid way.
"To put it simply, right now, when your body is naked, you will be able to control it. If someone splashes you with boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius, you will not be scalded anymore. If a common 6-year-old kid attacks you with a common saber or sword, you will not bleed anymore. Overall, your bearing capacity to poison damages increases by 4%; your bearing capacity to spiritual damages increases by 5%. Additionally, all the battle qis that hit you will reduce the damage to you by 3% to 12%. "
"As for battle qis, it depends on the level and characteristics of that person's battle qis. For instance, if you are attacked by a person who has cultivated iron-blood battle qi, your immunity to the damage caused by iron-blood battle qi could only reach 4%. However, if you are attacked by those raging waves battle qi, barbarian ox battle qi, fiery battle qi or crescent battle qi that you have touched in Hidden Dragon Island, your immunity to the damage caused by these battle qis could reach above 9%."
"Pay attention to that iron-body fruit brings you the natural ability of your body instead of any secret knowledge or cultivation method. In the future, if you could touch some protective secret knowledge or cultivation method, your defensive effect would be greater than that of the original defensive effect of those cultivation methods and secret knowledge."
Zhang Tie knew that such a body's bearing capacity could not match that of his master Zhao Yuan who could walk out of the magma safely. However, it was also commendable for Zhang Tie. After saying that, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and activated a trouble-reappearance situation. Closely after that, he entered the trouble-reappearance situation in a split second.
...
Sea waves, cool breeze, beach and sunshine, Zhang Tie looked at the place where he fished blue iron ores in the west of Hidden Dragon Island before revealing a smile.
Zhang Tie was standing on the shore while a small sea snake was moving its body in the water. It seemed that it was waiting for Zhang Tie to get into the water so that it could bite Zhang Tie ferociously.
Zhang Tie didn't care about that small sea snake; instead, he found a clean reef which was higher than the ground and sat on the reef with crossed legs. He started to look inside his Shrine surging point. The golden flame which could light the next surging point was still there; however, it was corresponding to the 919 surging points which had not been lit yet.
'Which surging point should I choose? ' After looking around, Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile, 'Whatever. Actually, no matter what I choose, the probability is less than 1/900. Therefore, I don't need to hesitate at all.'
Thinking about this, Zhang Tie had the golden flame fly to a surging point on his head and prepared to try it from top to bottom. In this way, he could remember the order...
The golden flame integrated into the highest surging point on Zhang Tie's head. Closely after that, Zhang Tie heard a sound like a broken glass bottle. He opened his eyes as he found that he had exited the trouble-reappearance situation and returned to the small tree.
Zhang Tie was a bit amazed, "Ah? What happened? How could I exit the trouble-reappearance situation so fast?"
"The first trial failed. Castle Lord suffered a counterforce and died once in the trouble-reappearance situation. Therefore, I exited it automatically!" Heller replied calmly.
"Counterforce? So fast? But I didn't feel any pain. "
"There's a limit to the speed at which human neurons can transmit the sensation of pain. The sensation of pain is actually a series of electrical signals transmitted from the body to a specific receiving area in the brain. When the backfire occurs and the speed at which it destroys your body exceeds the speed at which the neurons can transmit the electrical signals, you won't feel any pain, and everything will be over!" Castle Lord wanted to take a look at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he asked, "Castle Lord, do you want to see what happened?"
"Fine!"
Heller waved his hand while a holographic scene appeared in front of Zhang Tie. In the scene, Zhang Tie was standing on the beach. Closely after that, he sat on a clean stone. After a few seconds, with a sound "bang", Zhang Tie had turned into a bloody mist in a split second, leaving nothing at all.
At the sight of that, Zhang Tie felt chilly all over as he quivered all over, "This... this is the consequence of lighting a wrong surging point. If I did that in reality, would I also suffer the same result?"
"Yes, as long as you deviate or make a mistake in your cultivation, you would suffer a very terrifying and direct backfire from the emperor-level secret knowledge. When you select the wrong target, you would press an explosive switch. Your 987 surging points would explode in a split second like 987 mini alchemist's bombs in your body. Without any time for your body to respond and feel, you would die in a split second without leaving even your bones! For you, the advantage of this method is that your body and spirit won't be tested by pain in the Trouble-reappearance Situation. As long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can keep on trying and making mistakes... "Heller said solemnly.
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "It's really a hard way to recover the original look of an emperor-level secret method. However, now that I've made this choice, I have to go on it no matter how hard it is!"
After saying that, Zhang Tie sat down with crossed legs and closed his eyes. He then activated the trouble-reappearance situation which consumed the least spiritual energy.
Only after a few seconds, Zhang Tie opened his eyes once again. He failed again...
13 hours later, after being exploded for 796 times in the trouble-reappearance situation, Zhang Tie lit a surging point on a muscle on his calf for the 797th time. His body didn't explode; instead, it started to resonate with the other surging points and brought a wholly new strength to Zhang Tie's body...
'That's it... '
After opening his eyes, Zhang Tie revealed a smile...
Half an hour later, that surging point on Zhang Tie's body was lit in the real world...
"Lighting this surging point is definitely a historic step for humans since the Catastrophe. Another emperor-level secret method starts to recover its original brilliance." Heller concluded with a solemn look on Zhang Tie's side.
Zhang Tie smiled and didn't say anything. He then left the small tree and started to eat, sleep and rest as usual. On the second day, he came to the small tree again and picked two leakless fruits. After eating two leakless fruits, he rested for a short while before sitting under the small tree silently and entered the trouble-reappearance situation.
After being exploded for 487 times, Zhang Tie found a new surging point, the 15th surging point of LV 11...
