"What's this secret method?" Guan Qianchong asked Zhang Tie's secret method with gleaming eyes.
As for the result, this commander of Black Armor Army didn't care about the so-called 10 cities and 600 miles' bounty land at all.
"It's the Mental Arithmetic by Thousands of Beads that I'm cultivating!" Zhang Tie didn't even blink his eyelids as he gave his "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus" a super high and mighty name.
'God, the old man who sold the "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus" to Zhang Tie at the price of 4 silver coins might not have imagined that the teenager who bought the "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus" could cheat a terrifying and powerful shadow knight, the commander of the top 4 armies of Taixia Country with something that could be bought at the price of 4 silver coins.'
"Mental Arithmetic by Thousands of Beads!" Guan Qianchong muttered. Even though he felt that he had seen a lot, it was his first time to hear this name. As for its effect, he had seen it with his own eyes. The efficiency of absorbing element crystals was 10 times higher. If it was known to the public, all the knights would go crazy for it.
However, Zhang Tie had predicted it in advance. Therefore, he made an agreement with Guan Qianchong that the result of this bet could only be known by them. As the general of Black Armor Army and a shadow knight, Zhang Tie should have the basic credibility in Taixia Country. As for those who went back on their words, even those in the underworld would be despised, not to mention those in the public. Zhang Tie was confident about this point.
Given Guan Qianchong's look and his pair of thick eyebrows which suddenly turned solemn, Zhang Tie had known what this commander of Black Armor Army was thinking about at this moment. If such a secret method could be grasped by the military of Taixia Country or Black Armor Army, the battle strength and cultivation speed of knights of Black Armor Army would reach a higher level. Theoretically, as long as there were enough element crystals, black iron knights in Taixia Country could promote to earth knights rapidly in a very short period.
"Hehhehheh, Commander Guan, don't think about Mental Arithmetic by Thousands of Beads!" Zhang Tie told Guan Qianchong straightforwardly, "Due to some reasons, I could cultivate this secret method to such a high realm by chance. This secret method would only work on very few people. You might not even find one among 1,000 knights who could cultivate it. It's useless for others to cultivate it. This secret method could not improve their cultivation speed too much. Therefore, don't think about the effect of this secret method on Black Armor Army and Taixia Country. It's not as simple as you think. This secret method has an abnormal requirement on the aptitudes of some aspects."
Zhang Tie was telling the truth. In order to achieve such a great effect, besides reaching the corresponding realm of mind separation through "mental arithmetic by abacus", the key was to have a higher spiritual energy. If a cultivator's spiritual energy was not many times greater than that of commoners, even if he could barely cultivate "mental arithmetic by abacus", he could not achieve such a great effect. The reason that Zhang Tie was so great was that he had eaten a lot of fruits of brilliance. Among all the knights, besides Zhang Tie, nobody else could eat so many fruits of brilliance.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Guan Qianchong gazed at Zhang Tie for quite a while as if he wanted to find some clues on Zhang Tie's face. However, Zhang Tie's eyes were always frank and bright. Based on Guan Qianchong's experience, he didn't find anything that was not true on Zhang Tie's face or eyes. Finally, Guan Qianchong let out a deep sigh as his eyes turned tender at once; instead, he appreciated Zhang Tie a bit, "It seems that I've wronged you this time. It turns out that you're favored by nature and have a secret method to rapidly absorb the elements in element crystals. Therefore, you could promote to an earth knight in 2 years in the hieron ruins!"
"Haha, when I killed Old Monster Qi and that earth demon knight, I've not imagined that they could carry so many earth-element crystals in their portable space-teleportation equipment. I've made a fortune!" Zhang Tie shrugged. After the crisis passed, he became relaxed at once.
"Speaking of this, this old man is a bit curious. I was told that Old Monster Qi had already taken the upper hand; however, he suddenly became possessed by the devil and couldn't move anymore. Therefore, his head was chopped off. That earth demon knight was not weak either. How did you kill him in the hieron?"
Touching his head, Zhang Tie smirked, "Each one has his own secrets. Of course, this old Cui has his own means to save himself. Am I right?"
Guan Qianyu revealed a carefree smile as he didn't ask about the root of the problem, "It's really rare to see someone as lucky as you who could survive the fatal situation and make a comeback in the end!"
Old Monster Qi was a b * stard of Three-eye Association. When he was killed by me, he was really possessed by the devil due to the secret method of Bloody Soul Sect. I just seized the opportunity. When I killed Old Monster Qi and closed the gate of the hieron's hall, I was holding the crystal ball which was used to control the hieron's hall. Previously, I wanted to die together with the demon knight. No matter what, I think it's enough. As a black iron knight, I was satisfied with being killed by two earth demon knights. However, later on, I discovered some life-saving items from the portable equipment of Old Monster Qi in the hieron's hall by accident. Therefore, I finally turned the tide! "
Zhang Tie knew that sometimes, it was better not to lie too much. He should leave some space for others' imagination. That was the best lie. 'After all, Old Monster Qi had plotted against Mountain Lifting Hermit with the Five-poisons Bloody Soul Drill of Bloody Soul Temple. If Zhang Tie found some vicious items related to Bloody Soul Temple from Old Monster Qi's body, it would be reasonable for Zhang Tie to deal such a heavy blow to the earth demon knight when he controlled the control center of the hieron's hall. Therefore, I didn't explain it to others. Therefore, it was better than anything else.'
Besides the dead Old Monster Qi and Zhang Tie, nobody in this world knew what else Old Monster Qi had hidden in Zhang Tie's body. Zhang Tie just slightly guided others' thoughts.
As was imagined, after Zhang Tie finished his words, Guan Qianchong revealed a bit enlightened look at once.
In Guan Qianchong's opinion, although Zhang Tie was a bit reserved about some things, it was the choice of a normal person. Generally speaking, this tower-like tough man was as frank and straightforward as the legend said. Such a person was as pure as a newborn baby. It was rare to see such a straightforward person.
"It's been almost 3 months since I left the hieron ruins; however, I've not found anyone suitable to ask. After returning to the Lion Fortress, Mountain Lifting Hermit and the other elders of Taixia Country should have reported the details of Old Monster Qi to the Lion Fortress. Have Taixia Country found anything by following the clue of Old Monster Qi?"
Zhang Tie then asked another question "frankly"... (To be continued.)
