After leaving the Black Armor Battlefortress for over 1 month, Zhang Tie had improved his battle strength the fastest. During this period, especially in the demons' base, Zhang Tie had killed hundreds of spider demons and hundreds of common ox-headed demons. Zhang Tie had gained two wholly new fruits of source. After taking the two fruits of source, Zhang Tie could kill so many earth demon knights consecutively in the battle between humans and demons during the consolidation period of his cultivation base 10 days ago.
One fruit of source could improve the ability of Zhang Tie's surging points by 1/12, which was an overall improvement in his physical quality. After taking two fruits of source, Zhang Tie almost completed two rounds of super strengthening. As a result, although Zhang Tie was still in the consolidation period as an earth knight superficially, the effect of the two fruits of source was actually as great as that of forming half of his chakra when he cultivated a viscount-level secret method such as "Five-elements Ground-look Sutra".
Plus the strengthening brought by promoting to 1 change earth knight, given the times of strengthening and effect that he gained after promoting to an earth knight, Zhang Tie's current ability could match that of 9 change earth knight realm of the lowest baron-level secret method, even slightly surpassing that of 9 change earth knight realm.
Because baron-level secret methods could only bring about three rounds of strengthening in each knight realm. Zhang Tie had already completed three rounds of strengthening. Some effects of the fruits of source were even better than that of knights.
Without the fruits of source, Zhang Tie's Infinite King Roc Sutra at 3 change earth realm could match that of 9 change earth knight realm of the baron secret method; 4 change earth knight realm could match that of 9 change earth knight realm of the viscount-level secret method; 5 change earth knight realm could match that of 9 change earth knight realm of the viscount-level secret method; 6 change earth knight realm could match that of 9 change earth knight realm of the viscount-level secret method …
This was the power of emperor-level secret methods.
During the 10 days of recuperation and forming his chakra, Zhang Tie was also considering about his current cultivation and the precise division of battle strength. Finally, Zhang Tie came to a conclusion that his basic battle strength could be regarded as that of a marquis-level secret method such as "Fire Dragon Sutra" after promoting to the 5 change earth realm.
Zhang Tie was really startled by this conclusion. Even Zhang Tie himself had not imagined that he could reach this step after cultivating an emperor-level secret method and eating a lot of fruits and accumulating his strength unconsciously. Zhang Tie was afraid that even Zhang Taixuan the Long Wind Count had not reached such a realm.
After promoting to 5 change earth knight realm by cultivating a marquis-level secret method, Zhang Tie was already a powerhouse among earth knights in Taixia Country.
In this realm, Zhang Tie could defeat any black iron knight mercilessly. Plus his abnormal defensive ability and recovery ability, theoretically, he could defeat all the earth knights who cultivated 6 change earth knight or 7 change earth knight who cultivated low-level secret methods in close combat.
Zhang Tie was a bit shocked; however, he knew that it was true through the combats with earth demon knights just now.
The fruit of source was very powerful. Its effect enabled Zhang Tie to improve his battle strength by two levels in a short period. It was good news; however, there was a bad news, namely, the two fruits of source might be the last two fruits of source that Zhang Tie ate. From then on, the small tree might not grow any more fruits of source. After iron-body fruit and leakless fruit, the fruits of source might also become extinct.
Zhang Tie had already eaten all the fruits of source of iron-armored demons, wing demons, spider demons and ox-headed demons, leaving only one fruit of source of shadow demons. Theoretically, as long as Zhang Tie killed over 300 shadow demons below knight level and reached 360 shadow demons, he could eat one more fruit of source of shadow demons. However, actually, Zhang Tie knew that it was impossible for him to kill so many shadow demons for the rest of his life.
After promoting to 1 change earth knight, Zhang Tie lost another fruit of source. As a result, Zhang Tie felt happy and disappointed. Because there were too few and too important fruits of source. Even Zhang Tie didn't bear to hang one fruit of source on the tree as a souvenir.
After promoting to 1 change earth knight and figuring out his current battle force, Zhang Tie's heart became hot as he had never had a strong confidence and a sense of clarity. At the same time, the haze and depression caused by being framed as a wanted criminal and being driven away from his hometown over the past 3 years was swept away.
...
Two days after Zhang Tie promoted to 1 change earth knight...
...
"Hit the vital parts..."
"More fiercely..."
"Come on, don't be afraid of hurting me..."
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem On the lawn outside the palace tree, Aziz, Edward and Agan who had long been sweating profusely gritted their teeth and swung their long sabers, mace and heavy hammers at Zhang Tie's body heavily.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was only wearing a pair of shorts. His sturdy body was naked. Due to his bright and clean physique, his wounds didn't leave any scar on his body. At this moment, Zhang Tie was like a target. He didn't even release his protective battle qi; instead, he was bearing the strikes of Aziz, Edward and Agan with his body.
Besides sounds and special frictions, all the strikes didn't leave any scar on Zhang Tie's body at all.
In the beginning, Aziz, Beverly and Fiona were still reserved; however, as Zhang Tie felt that he was not satisfied, the three people completely released their strength. They used their full strength to attack Zhang Tie with their weapons one after another.
Aziz was holding a grim mace with many sharp thorns. After hearing Zhang Tie's exclamation, Aziz raised his mace high and smashed it towards Zhang Tie's shoulder.
When the mace was about to touch Zhang Tie's shoulder, Zhang Tie instantly moved away from his shoulder; instead, he faced Aziz's mace with his face. However, when the mace was about to touch his skin and the sharp thorns on the mace almost pierced into his eyeballs, Zhang Tie closed his eyes...
Aziz's mace ferociously smashed onto Zhang Tie's face.
"Bang..."
Aziz didn't respond as fast as Zhang Tie. Not until the mace hit Zhang Tie's face did he realize what had happened.
"Castle Lord..." Aziz's hand quivered as he dropped his mace onto the ground. Edward and Agan hurriedly stopped as they thought that Zhang Tie was injured.
The moment Aziz threw away the mace, he had hurriedly knelt down in a flurried manner. With a pale face, he almost cried out, "Ahh, I didn't mean to do that. I wanted to … wanted to hit Castle Lord's shoulder …"
Zhang Tie opened his eyes, "Get up, I just wanted to have a try. I'm not injured..."
"Ahh, Castle Lord... are you really... alright?"
"I'm fine!"
Saying this, Zhang Tie rubbed his face. The skin on his face was very good. It was neither swollen nor broken. Not even a single hair fell off. Just now, he indeed wanted to see how the most vulnerable part of his body could withstand an attack. The result of the experiment made him very satisfied. He had withstood Aziz's mace attack with his face, but nothing had happened to it. Just now, Zhang Tie only felt a slight pain on his face. After that, he felt like being hit by a kid with a mace that was blown up by air. Nothing happened at all. Even when he closed his eyes and the thorns of the mace stabbed onto his eyelids, he only felt that his eyeballs were squeezed by an external force. His eyelids and eyeballs were fine.
One had to know that Aziz and the other two had the strength of a level-9 Warrior. The weapons in their hands were, of course, not toys that could be blown up by a child. They were the real deal. Although they were not Silver-grade or Bronze-grade equipment, they were made of Abyss Fiendish Iron.
After confirming that Zhang Tie was not injured, Aziz stood up, quivering.
Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy and activated his ability as a divine dominator. Closely after that, Aziz's mace flew up and fell into his hand. Zhang Tie sensed the 50-60 kg weight of the mace as he casually waved it for a few times. Each time Zhang Tie waved it, the mace would give out a howl like that of a wild wolf in the air. Hearing the terrifying strength in the mace, Zhang Tie could sense the mace's terrifying strength.
After making sure that this mace was not blown by air, Zhang Tie threw it back to Aziz. Closely after that, he turned around and asked Heller on his side.
"Heller, what's going on? Why do I feel that after advancing to level 1 Earth Knight, besides my physical abilities such as strength and speed, my resistance and defensive ability seem to have reached a whole new level? I'm so much more powerful than before. I can ignore all the attacks of fighters below LV 9 only with my physical defense!" Zhang Tie muttered to himself as he looked at Heller with a bitter expression on his face. "What's going on?
"Castle Lord, do you remember when you promoted to 1 change earth knight?"
"Of course, I was severely wounded at that time..." Zhang Tie answered frankly. Closely after that, he suddenly thought of something as he widely opened his eyes, "Wait, you mean the super strong defensive ability is related to my injuries at that time..."
"After an eagle grew old, its claws and beak would gradually age and lose their sharpness. By then, the eagle would smash its sharp claws and beak onto hard stones and make itself badly mutilated. After the wounds were healed, sharper claws and beak would grow out and complete a new life metamorphosis so as to better adapt to the living environment. After forming a large chakra," King Roc Sutra "has entered a new realm. Do you feel that the" King Roc Sutra "could not match the instincts of wild beasts in this realm?" Heller asked Zhang Tie as his eyes flickered with wisdom...
Zhang Tie understood it at once. It meant that each time he was strengthened, the more crises he encountered in a certain aspect in the process, the more chances he would have to strengthen a certain aspect of his ability. Every enhancement was to allow him to face the problems he encountered more calmly. If his body was still heavily injured the next time he advanced to the second stage, then his body's defensive capabilities would be further strengthened. On the other hand, if everything was normal, then the strengthening effect would be more balanced in all aspects.
As Zhang Tie's level and realm grew higher, the power of emperor-level secret methods gradually manifested.
Only an emperor-level secret method like Infinite King Roc Sutra could bring about such a targeted strengthening effect.
Touching his face, Zhang Tie felt that it was worth thinking about it.
However, after thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie had Aziz and the other bodyguards bring those demon knights here. Coincidentally, Zhang Tie was in a good mood today. Therefore, he directly offered those demon knights as a bloody sacrifice...
