Zhang Tie looked at the earth-element crystal which had completely lost its golden luster and started to show its pale milky color. Slightly shaking his head, Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he ended his meditation. After that, he raised his foot and put that useless crystal onto the table.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem There were 7 rows of earth-element crystals on the table tidily, 3 in each row. At this moment, all the earth-element crystals had turned dull like the one in Zhang Tie's hand. All the pure earth elements in the crystals had been extracted. Like an empty bottle of liquor, the earth-element crystals had become useless.
Zhang Tie raised his head and threw a glance at the clock on the wall.
— — December 29th.
Zhang Tie had already cultivated in the underground palace for 1 and a half months. The 21 earth-element crystals had been consumed rapidly. In less than 2 months, the 21 earth-element crystals had been used up. He only used 1/4 of his energy to extract the earth elements from the crystals. If he used all of his energy, the 21 earth-element crystals could not even last him 2 weeks.
Through this cultivation, Zhang Tie completely understood how hard and long it was to form the second chakra and promote to an earth knight.
Because of "mental arithmetic by abacus" and the fruit of brilliance which had almost increased his spiritual energy by two times, Zhang Tie could already do 4 tasks at the same time. He could form 4 hands in the elements realm to catch those earth-element crystals. It had already increased by four times. But even so, during this one and a half month of cultivation, Zhang Tie had just formed 1/6 of the first scale of the second chakra of "King Roc Sutra".
Zhang Tie estimated that it would take him at least 11 months to promote to the 2nd scale of a black iron knight if he continued to cultivate in the current state without the enhancement of the 21 earth-element crystals.
What did that mean? That was what he meant. 'Given the current state, it will take me 330 years to form the second earth chakra of "King Roc Sutra". '
This was the result of him being able to multitask at the same time. If he continued to cultivate at the speed of multitasking, he wouldn't be able to do so. If I cultivate until death, I will consume about 400 years of lifespan of a knight. Even if I can live to 500 years, I will still be in the realm of 100 scales of a black iron knight. ' 'For the rest of my life. ' It was very difficult for a black iron knight to form the second chakra.
It was very difficult for a black iron knight to form the second earth chakra. It was a long journey for each black iron knight. Additionally, the second earth chakra in the emperor-level secret method "King Roc Sutra" was much more complicated. Therefore, the level of earth knight in front of Zhang Tie became a high peak that pierced through the clouds.
'If I can cultivate for 330 years at the same time, I will promote to an earth knight; however, if I can cultivate for over 1300 years at the same time, I will promote to an earth knight. ' Zhang Tie was completely speechless about this result. He knew it. In far-ancient times, in those brilliant civilizations, people would never cultivate so painstakingly. In that age, there must be more ways to improve one's cultivation speed, such as sufficient high-quality earth-element crystals, more powerful elements-gathering matrix or more secret methods for assisting one's cultivation. Only with these conditions could the knights in that age constantly improve their realms and enter higher realms. Otherwise, there would not be secret knowledge such as "King Roc Sutra" and "Breaking Sun Sutra" left to them.
However, in this age, all the resources that could accelerate the cultivation speed of knights became scarce. Therefore, in this age, the core task and topic of knights' cultivation was to acquire and monopolize more cultivation resources that could accelerate the formation of their chakras. Only in this way could most of the knights promote to a higher realm in their remaining years.
The later generations were advancing on the footsteps of their predecessors. However, due to the change of cultivation environment, these latecomers could not walk as easily as their predecessors.
After getting off the bed, Zhang Tie came to the open land outside the room and started to practice Iron-blood Fist in a slow and dignified rhythm to warm up his muscles, bones, qi and blood.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's Iron-blood Fist had reached a completely different realm. It had been extremely positive while turning yin into yin. Although it looked calm, it contained a terrifying power. Although Zhang Tie moved slowly, the air in the underground palace was driven by him, forming small cyclones around him. The cyclones were like swirls driven by ocean currents. Following Zhang Tie's movements, they appeared and disappeared one after another. They appeared and disappeared from time to time.
While Zhang Tie was moving according to his fist intent, he was thinking about his future cultivation and sorting out his gains and inspirations in this cultivation.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was clear about his problems and solutions. Given the current situation, the most direct and effective thing that could accelerate his cultivation speed was earth-elements crystals. As long as he could get enough high-quality earth-elements crystals, he would form the second chakra at a much faster speed. However, earth-element crystals were too rare. Norman Empire only gifted 20 earth-element crystals in the rotating chakra ceremony, which was already a great gift. Elders of Huaiyuan Palace could get 4 earth-element crystals per year. Such a great number of earth-element crystals was just a drop in the bucket for Zhang Tie. They could not even fill the gaps between his teeth. Therefore, they were very limited.
It seemed that Zhang Tie had to care more about earth-elements crystals from now on.
Besides earth-elements crystals, the second method to accelerate his cultivation speed was to continue the cultivation of "mental arithmetic by abacus". However, Zhang Tie had already reached the limit of his current ability. It was the result of his long-term accumulation. It seemed that he had to accumulate more knowledge in order to reach the next realm of "mental arithmetic by abacus".
Finally, he needed to increase his cultivation speed. Only external objects such as elements-gathering matrix or other unknown secret methods could be traded in the Mountain of Brightness. However, those trading locations were mainly in the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent. They were face-to-face trades between knights. In remote places like Waii Sub-continent, there was almost no trading information in the Mountain of Brightness. Additionally, over 70% of those trades were in the form of barter. Most of them were in exchange for earth-elements crystals. Earth-elements crystals seemed to be a hard currency among black iron knights. Few items could be bought with gold, except for the elements-gathering tower. 'I really don't have too many items to trade with at this moment. It seems that I have to rely on my luck to gain these items. '
If Three-eye Association and demons could bribe human knights, Three-eye Association and demons would be in their hands. 'They should have a lot of good items. '
Zhang Tie thought. Finally, he focused on the knight's equipment and medicament that he got from the knight of Three-eye Association that he killed in Selnes Theater of Operations...
At this moment, the fist wind in the underground palace became a bit stern...
After punching for a while, Zhang Tie's qi and blood became active all over. At the same time, he became clear about his future cultivation. Zhang Tie stopped punching and stood still. After flapping his clothes, he walked out of the underground palace.
The moment Zhang Tie opened the gate of the underground palace, the temporary palace of the corps leader had known it. Therefore, the moment Zhang Tie returned to the ground, he saw the director of the temporary palace of the corps leader. The moment Zhang Tie returned to the ground, he saw the director of the temporary palace of the corps leader.
At this moment, the sun had just set. It was a bit gloomy while the air was colder than that when Zhang Tie entered the underground palace.
At the sight of Zhang Tie once again, the director felt that Elder Mushen's qi became more profound after over 1 month; especially his eye light which seemed to be able to penetrate through gold and iron. This was mainly caused by the sharp increase in Zhang Tie's spiritual energy after taking the fruit of brilliance. Of course, the other fruits would also slightly affect Zhang Tie's qi field. However, the director didn't know that. He thought that it was caused by Zhang Tie's cultivation. Therefore, he became more respectful inside.
"Is everything alright these days?" Zhang Tie asked casually.
"Everything is fine!" the director replied as he passed the three briefs of Hurricane Corps to Zhang Tie.
After taking the briefs, Zhang Tie quickly skimmed over each one. It took Zhang Tie less than 20 seconds to finish reading the three briefs.
As for Zhang Tie, there were only two important things in Hurricane Corps over the past one month — — the establishment of Class III battle troops of Hurricane Corps had been adjusted; the subordinate corps of Hurricane Corps had started to enter the three cities and take over the city-defense and security of the three cities.
"After the Lantern Festival, the first batch of elite special forces could enter Kalay Mountain Range and prepare for the battle in the future!" Zhang Tie casually fixed the time for the LV 9 battle troops of Hurricane Corps to set off for Kalay Mountain Range, which was about half a month after the New Year.
After the establishment adjustment, on the premise of not influencing the battle forces of other troops, only 418 people could be allocated to form troops above LV 9 in Hurricane Corps, ranging from LV 9 to LV 13. These people would form the elite special forces battalion of Hurricane Corps, which was further divided into three squads, which were responsible for the battle in the theater of operations of Hurricane Corps in Kalay Mountain Range.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside, 'The battle forces above LV 9 and below LV 13 in Hurricane Corps could only match two battalions of a super demon corps. What a sharp contrast! Only when all the countries across Waii Sub-continent unite with each other could they barely defeat that super demon corps. If they fought one-to-one, none of them could defeat that super demon corps.'
As for these fighters, they would face a bitter battle in Kalay Mountain Range in the future.
The director rapidly wrote down Zhang Tie's order in his notebook.
"Additionally, the mobile troop that is responsible for accepting jobs should make an independent financial statement every quarter. All the compensations of the fighters of the mobile troop should be 5 times that of the average compensations of the mercenaries of the top mercenary groups in Armes. Now that we want to make money, we should be spirited and look like making money. If the mobile troop suffers a loss for 2 months consecutively, let the commander resign and be replaced by a capable person!"
Zhang Tie said as he walked. As the director followed Zhang Tie, he rapidly recorded his orders with his pen.
"Order the garrisons, from January 1st next year, those who abduct and sell people as slaves, force girls to be prostitutes, rape women and loot others' properties will be killed. Anyone who is found to collude with officials to take bribes will be converted into gold coins for the officials to swallow. If they don't die, they won't be punished; if they die, all their properties will be confiscated. Those who steal will have their fingers chopped off; those who cheat will have their ears chopped off. Those who violate other decrees of Huaiyuan Palace will be punished twice as much as those who violate other decrees of Huaiyuan Palace! Additionally, the Military Law Department of Hurricane Corps and the temporary palace of the corps leader will establish a circuit military court to supervise the military disciplines of the garrisons in the three cities. All the trials and cases of the circuit military court have to be publicized to the public. I want to see all the cases of the second instance in the bulletin. If the garrisons seriously disturb the residents or violate military disciplines, have the corps leader come to the temporary palace to explain to me. "
Zhang Tie's third order was full of killing intent; especially the one about collusion between officials and businessmen. Swallowing gold coins was a way to commit suicide. As gold coins were heavy, they would penetrate through people's intestines. If officials swallowed gold coins, those who took bribes over 1 gold coin would face a catastrophe; those who took bribes over 10 gold coins would almost die. This one was tantamount to drawing a red line between officials and businessmen to distinguish between normal dealings and taking bribes. Those who dared take bribes should consider whether their stomachs could hold those bribes or not.
By establishing the circuit military court to pay attention to the cases of the second instance that were not satisfied with the judgment of the first instance, Zhang Tie raised the sharp sword of military discipline and military discipline over the heads of all the fighters and commissioned officers of Hurricane Corps. The law was merciless. If anyone dared try the law, Zhang Tie would never be merciful to him.
Born in a common family in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie clearly knew how difficult it was for small figures to survive. When his family opened a rice brew store in Blackhot City, a tax officer came to ask for a bribe. Although that tax officer was just a small figure in Blackhot City, he made Zhang Tie's dad and mom frown all day long and almost caused the rice brew store to close down. Later on, Zhang Tie's elder brother joined the city guards of Blackhot City and taught that tax officer a lesson ferociously with some friends. Finally, that tax officer became obedient...
At that time, the holy war had not broken out yet. Blackhot City was still peaceful. However, even in that peaceful environment, small figures could not survive easily, not to mention at this moment. In the chaotic world, numerous small figures wandered about in a precarious way. Some commoners who came to Huaiyuan Prefecture might encounter some b * stards who bullied the weak or were cheated by evil officials and businessmen. As a result, their families might be ruined and numerous tragedies would happen.
