According to Zhang Tie's knowledge, due to the high price of silver board paper, only some very important classics and secret books would be recorded on silver board paper. However, silver board paper could not be printed. Only a special pen dipped in a special material could leave traces on it. Therefore, almost all the books on silver board paper were copied by hand. Of course, this book was also copied by hand, including some patterns inside. However, despite being copied and painted by hand, this book was obviously not written by an average person. The words and patterns inside were pleasing to the eyes and looked even more comfortable than printed books.
As a secret book of the former royal family of the Norman Empire, even though the contents of this book had been widely spread, the contents of this secret book of fist skill from the East could never be matched by common secret books. Holding this secret book in hand, Zhang Tie was instantly attracted by its contents.
There were many things recorded in this secret book. After reading it for one night, Zhang Tie had barely formed a general system of cultivating the Iron-Blood Fist in his mind.
The cultivation system of the Iron-Blood Fist was composed of three parts.
The first part of the book was about stances. According to the introduction of the book, stances were the basic skills for cultivating and improving the power of the Iron-Blood Fist. There were altogether three kinds of stances in the book: the Lying Tiger Stance, the Coiling Dragon Stance, and the Cross Stance. In the beginning, the Lying Tiger Stance required one to lie on the ground motionlessly like a tiger for more than half an hour before moving on to the next step. The Coiling Dragon Stance required one to coil one's legs like a snake, with knees touching, spine straight, head raised, and chest out. After that, one had to constantly shake one's legs in a small range. During the shaking, one had to repeatedly straighten up and squat down. It was exactly the same as the movements of a coiled snake ready to bite people. The Cross Stance was a mixture and a variation of the Lying Tiger Stance and the Coiling Dragon Stance. It could only be started after reaching a small success in the first two kinds of stances. For the Cross Stance, one had to coil one's lower body like a coiling snake and hug one's upper body like a tiger. One had to hold two spears in each hand to form a cross...
The second part of the book was about the coordination and derivation of the thirty-six movements of the Iron-Blood Fist and the five basic footwork...
The third part of the book was a mnemonic method called Iron-Blood Infusion Qi Sutra. It was a method that could only be started after one had made a small achievement in the Lying Tiger Move. Using the breathing method to stimulate his surging points, he could combine the six physical strength into one and form the Hidden Strength and Peak Strength. Compared to the previous contents, this part was a bit difficult for Zhang Tie to grasp. However, the most frustrating part was the cultivation method of the Iron-Blood Battle Qi at the end of the third part. This was the most important part of the book, but also the one with the least number of words. There was only one sentence in this part — "When you reach a large success in Peak Strength and combine the six physical strength into one, you can continue to use the Immortal Cultivation Method to purify your fist intent. The Iron-Blood Battle Qi will sprout after nine deaths, and the Iron-Blood Battle Qi will emerge after a hundred deaths!"
What was fist intent? What was immortal cultivation method? What was nine deaths? What was one hundred deaths? What was one fist intent? What was one fist intent? What was the immortal cultivation method? What was nine deaths? What was one hundred deaths? All of these would make Zhang Tie feel like committing suicide. Fortunately, Zhang Tie had a profound knowledge of Hua language. He had been forced by his parents to memorize a Hua dictionary since he was a child so that he could accurately grasp the original meaning of the Hua language in the last sentence. When this sentence was translated into Hebrew, Zhang Tie would definitely have the urge to commit suicide. "When you reach the peak of Transforming Strength, use the immortal fire to refine the profound meaning of the fist skill. After dying nine times, your body will sprout the Iron-Blood Battle Qi. After dying one hundred times, your Iron-Blood Battle Qi will take shape." Reading this sentence, Zhang Tie finally understood why 99 out of 100 guys who had mastered Iron-Blood Transforming Strength were stuck at the last level. Across Blackson Human Clan Corridor, perhaps only the imperial household of Norman Empire knew the secret of this sentence and its meaning. The secret knowledge of the imperial household was truly extraordinary. Even if it was given to you, not everyone could learn it.
After reading the secret knowledge of the "Iron-Blood Fist" for almost one night, Zhang Tie's eyes turned red. He didn't finish reading the secret knowledge until midnight. After cursing all the females in the imperial household of Norman Empire, Zhang Tie put away the secret knowledge and fell asleep on the bed. After all, he was recuperating and had nothing to do on the second day, so Zhang Tie didn't care what time he slept.
The next day, Zhang Tie really didn't wake up until noon. After washing up, Zhang Tie prepared to pack up his belongings and leave.
While recuperating, Zhang Tie didn't have many belongings. When he was about to leave, he packed up his belongings in his room. Actually, he didn't have many belongings except for a pioneer's backpack made of cowhide, which Barley had given him for the convenience of recuperating here. After putting some food, the seeds that he had collected these days, and the "Iron-Blood Fist" book into the backpack, Zhang Tie left the cabin where he had lived for a week.
Before leaving, Zhang Tie went to the office of the Temporary Supervision Committee to handle the formalities for leaving the Wild Wolf Castle. He wanted to bid farewell to Captain Kerlin and Zerom; however, he was told that the two of them had gone out for a routine inspection. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only give up.
In this survival training, teachers and instructors also had their own responsibilities. For the teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee, it was their responsibility to ensure that no magical beasts or mutated living beings would suddenly appear in the Wild Wolf Valley, which could easily kill large groups of students. Therefore, patrolling around the Wild Wolf Valley had become their daily job. For many teachers, this kind of work was similar to going out for an outing, and they didn't feel too much pressure.
Since Captain Kerlin and Zerom weren't there, Zhang Tie went to the Iron Smelting Workshop to greet some guys that he had recently gotten acquainted with. After that, he walked out of the Wild Wolf Castle.
At noon, the square of the Wild Wolf Castle was already crowded with people setting up stalls. Surprisingly, Zhang Tie found Pandora among them. Pandora's stall was always placed in an inconspicuous corner, while that skinny girl was always hugging her knees and sitting in a corner.
Not until Zhang Tie walked to the front of Pandora's stall did the skinny girl raise her head. Glancing at Zhang Tie, she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pick any fruits today …"
In front of Pandora, there was only a small pile of common wild vegetables. Zhang Tie glanced at Pandora and found that her clothes were wet with dew. She must have gotten up very early to look for wild vegetables and wild fruits. As the survival training progressed, the karma fruits and wild vegetables near Wild Wolf Castle would become less and less, and it would be more and more difficult to find them. In such an objective situation, the female team was forced to cooperate with the male team to complete the survival training. After all, humans lived in groups. As an individual, unless he was very powerful, it would be very difficult for him to survive alone in the wild.
The pitiful look of this little girl slightly touched Zhang Tie's heart …
"Hmm … my wounds don't affect my movements anymore. I'm leaving today, but before that, I want to say goodbye to you!" Zhang Tie scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Oh, I wish you a speedy recovery!" Pandora smiled. This was the first time that Zhang Tie had seen her smile. This girl had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, which looked very beautiful when she smiled. Zhang Tie carefully looked at Pandora for a few more times. Hmm, besides being a bit skinny, flat, and a bit freckles on her face, Pandora looked pretty delicate.
"Do you have time in the evening?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"What for?" The moment Pandora heard the word 'evening', she immediately became vigilant and hid her chest behind her knees.
"I … want to invite you to have supper with me. By the way, you can visit our tree house. I see that you always look for food alone. If you haven't joined the team yet, how about joining us? We have seven boys, and all of them are very easy-going!"
"Are you inviting me to be your partner in the survival training?" A light flashed in Pandora's eyes, but then the light dimmed again. "But … but I can't agree!"
"Why?" Zhang Tie was astonished.
"They said that those who stay with me will have bad luck. I don't want to bring you trouble. Last time, after you bought something from me, you were forced to jump into a hole by a wolf …" Pandora said weakly.
"Nonsense. How could I blame you for that? Look, I'm fine now …" Zhang Tie said as he made a coquettish body-building movement, causing Pandora to purse her lips and smile.
"You really don't mind?"
"Nonsense, don't listen to those people's nonsense. You are my lucky angel. Without you, I might have died this time …" Zhang Tie said casually.
"Then … fine!" After thinking for a while, Pandora finally agreed.
Seeing Pandora agree, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. This was the first time that he had invited a girl. If he was refused, he would feel very ashamed. As for the wild wolf incident, even Zerom had hinted to Zhang Tie that someone might have done something to it. How could Zhang Tie blame it on Pandora? Additionally, when Zhang Tie was very young, his mom had taught him that he should never blame others for his misfortune. A man should be responsible. Zhang Tie always remembered that.
"That's a deal. I will pick you up in the afternoon. Our tree house is very interesting. We all live in tree holes, and we can drink fish soup in the evening …"
"Live in tree holes?" Pandora slightly raised her face, revealing a yearning expression. At the sight of Pandora's expression, Zhang Tie immediately confirmed that fish soup and tree houses were indeed the best weapons to deal with little girls.
"Oh, right …" Zhang Tie took out several pieces of dried rations and meat jerky from his bag, as well as those wild vegetables wrapped in tree leaves that Pandora had found. "I want these wild vegetables!"
The dried rations and meat jerky provided by Zhang Tie were much more valuable than those wild vegetables, making Pandora flurried. "Too much, I don't need so much …"
"Hah, it's okay. I will treat you to lunch …" Zhang Tie smiled as he waved his hand towards Pandora before striding away …
Watching Zhang Tie's back, the girl's eyes became a bit blurred as she muttered, "Can I really be someone else's lucky angel?"
