Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 283: On the cusp of the storm

Views:

At the end of the day, the amount of aquamarine iron ore harvested by Zhang Tie was not too conspicuous, only more than 150 kilograms, which looked similar to the aquamarine iron ore harvested by Zhang Yunfei.

What really stood out to Zhang Tie was the swollen bump on Zhang Tie's forehead.

The bump on Zhang Tie's forehead made Zhang Keliang and others marvel when they saw it. They had seen leg cramps, drowning, sea snake bites at the bottom of the sea, and legs swollen after stepping on poisonous sea urchins. There are people with thick waists, but Zhang Keliang and others have never seen a person with a bag on his head when diving in the sea.

"What's the matter with this bump on your head?" Wei Wu asked Zhang Tie curiously. Zhang Tie, who had a swollen bump on his head but still giggled from time to time, looked a little strange.

"I swam too fast and couldn't avoid it in time, so my head accidentally hit the rocks on the seabed!" Zhang Tie explained honestly.

As soon as he said this, everyone around looked at each other and laughed. Wei Wu even felt his stomach hurt from laughing. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite humorous..."

How fast does a person have to be in the sea to be like Zhang Tie said, and accidentally hit his head on a rock on the seabed because he couldn't avoid it in time? This reason is really lame, but it’s quite humorous!

Everyone thought this was a reason Zhang Tie deliberately made up because he was too embarrassed to talk about the embarrassing things that happened to him. Everyone laughed and stopped asking questions.

Zhang Tie also laughed, and everyone's reaction was completely what he expected.

After returning to Qianlong Hall and turning the aquamarine iron ore he brought today into fifteen silver coins, Zhang Tie left Qianlong Hall without even eating dinner.

If he waited until after dinner to go to the fish market, it would be too late. Many stalls in the fish market were closed, so Zhang Tie might as well go to the fish market earlier today. See if there are more sand scales for sale.

Zhang Tie arrived at the dock fish market today a few hours earlier than yesterday, and the fish market was dozens of times more lively than yesterday.

All the stalls in the fish market are in business, and many people are doing business next to the dock where the fishing boats are docked. The entire dock area is very noisy with people coming and going.

Various seafood, sea fish, and sea cucumbers sold in the fish market. There are dozens of varieties of shrimps, crabs, conches, etc., large and small, and there are a dazzling array of them. There are seven or eight kinds of shrimps of different sizes and shapes. Among those seafood products, Zhang Tie could name only a few. There are only the five or six most common ones. Among them, Sha Lin, whom Zhang Tie met just yesterday, was also included.

For Zhang Tie, who was born in the urban streets of Heiyan City since he was a child, the lively atmosphere of the fish market always gives him a familiar and friendly feeling, and he does not feel at all inconsistent or uncomfortable.

Zhang Tie moved nimbly through the fish market, glancing at this stall and that stall from time to time. After a rough walk around the fish market, Zhang Tie was overjoyed to find that there were almost a dozen stalls selling sand scales in the fish market, which was not worth much for such a small fish. There are more or less some at every stall, packed in buckets or basins.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tie stopped delaying and quickly moved to the stall where he bought sand scales yesterday.

"Boss Zhu, these are the stone tigers that were caught today. They are all reserved for your restaurant... Ha, we are all regular customers. How can we charge you more money? I will only charge you 20 for these three and a half kilograms of stone tigers." The silver coins are ready…”

The stall owner at the stall yesterday had just finished a business and found Zhang Tie standing in front of his stall.

"Ah, the number of sand scales today is slightly less than yesterday, so I will charge you 85 copper coins!"

"No need to bother, just one silver coin. If you get more next time, just charge me less!" Zhang Tie smiled, took out a silver coin and handed it over.

"Ha, little brother, you are quite cheerful. Okay, next time I will only charge you one silver coin for the extra money!" The stall owner took the money and said happily.

"As usual, I'd better borrow your bucket!" Zhang Tie said and picked up the bucket containing sand scales next to the stall.

"No problem, just take it and use it, and just return it before I close the stall!"

Zhang Tie nodded, carrying the sand scales in the bucket and ran towards the distant seaside. After a while, after releasing the sand scales in the bucket into the sea, Zhang Tie carried the bucket to the fish I went to the market and bought the sand scales sold at the stalls I just saw, put them in buckets, and ran to the beach again and again to release the sand scales into the sea.

Sand scales are indeed cheap. After Zhang Tie bought all the sand scales from several stalls in the fish market and released them, the money he spent was only twelve silver coins.

The number of animals released today was at least ten times more than yesterday. Zhang Tie's heart was filled with joy. Who would have thought that he could actually practice in this way.

There were people coming and going at the pier and fish market. Almost no one would notice a young man like Zhang Tie who was running around carrying a bucket. Zhang Tie finished everything calmly.

After sweeping away all the sand scales from today's fish market on the pier and returning the borrowed bucket, Zhang Tiecai took off and ran back to Qianlong Hall again. He did this again and again for more than an hour. When I returned to Qianlongtang, I happened to catch up with dinner time at Zhixingyuan...

In the next few days, Zhang Tie quietly practiced in Zhixingyuan. During the day, he went to fish for aquamarine iron ore. After fishing it back, he hurried to the fish market on the island to buy sand scales and release them. Every day or There were some gains, more or less. After returning to Zhixingyuan in the evening, I concentrated on practicing several pile techniques of the Iron-blooded Divine Fist, preparing to condense the iron-blooded fighting spirit at the sixth level.

After releasing Sha Lin, the fruits of redemption one after another made Zhang Tie's abilities grow rapidly every day. Zhang Tie's body's cold resistance and sensitivity to water flow are improving simultaneously every day...

1%—11%—18%—36%—45%—57%—65%—72%—81%—

While various physical abilities have improved, Zhang Tie has become more and more proficient in using the special abilities of the Black Iron Castle underwater. Breathing underwater is becoming easier and easier for Zhang Tie, and using space The force generated when the channel absorbs seawater acts on his body. The technique of moving quickly in the water became more and more proficient for Zhang Tie, especially the latter technique. In the end, even Zhang Tie had forgotten the reason for this technique. The original intention was to increase the basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle. And start to exercise this skill purely as your own ability.

While Zhang Tie's body was shuttled in the deep sea every day, the latest iron fruit on the small tree in the Black Iron Castle soon matured. After eating this iron fruit, Zhang Tie He clearly felt the effect of the iron fruit on his body - before eating the iron fruit, Zhang Tie's maximum diving depth in the sea was close to 100 meters. On the second day after eating the iron fruit, Zhang Tie's diving depth in the sea easily exceeded 120 meters.

The deeper the dive, the stronger the seawater pressure that the body has to withstand, and the stronger the seawater pressure, the more exercise Zhang Tie's body will receive. More tempering will make the iron tire fruit grow faster, and the newly grown iron tire fruit will allow Zhang Tie to challenge deeper waters...

Zhang Tie's cultivation began to enter a virtuous cycle.

Use the sea as a hammer and yourself as iron. Zhang Tie felt a surge of pride in his heart, every day. When practicing alone in the room in the dead of night. In the realm of soul tribulation, Zhang Tie set a goal for himself, which is to challenge himself to the limit of his life in the sea once every day in the realm of soul tribulation, and let himself "drown" once. Every time, when Zhang Tie experienced endless coldness and darkness in the sea. After the pressure and eventual loss of consciousness and "death", Zhang Tie woke up the next day and felt like he had been reborn. It is a brand new self, that new self, facing the sea, with less and less fear...

In the past few days, in Qianlong Hall, news about Zhang Tie's bet slowly spread, causing the whole Zhixing Academy to be in an uproar. There was actually someone who dared to bet 300 gold coins with someone, betting that he would be able to do it. Master the secret iron-blooded fighting spirit of the royal family of the Norman Empire

The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was that Zhang Tie was crazy. However, Zhang Tie was not crazy and acted as usual, so many people around him looked at him strangely.

At the same time as the bet spread, Zhang Tie made two comments about the girls in Qianlong Hall. The first of these two comments was - all girls are born to be petty and half-crazy. The second sentence is - boys have twelve zodiac signs, and girls only have one. They are all born in the zodiac sign. Just these two sentences, coupled with the exaggeration of some of Zhang Tie's previous performances among the girls' word-of-mouth, less than two weeks after Zhang Tie came to Qianlong Hall, he completely sat on the head of the public enemy of the girls in Qianlong Hall. Take the top spot.

In the past few days, while eating in the restaurant, Zhang Tie had already felt that the girls in Zhixingyuan looked at him with a hint of "murderous intent" in addition to rolling their eyes. When Zhang Tie said those two "famous conclusions" that day, many teenagers who went to Tieshitan to salvage aquamarine iron ore heard it, so Zhang Tie didn't know which bastard actually spread his casual words to The girls are adding insult to injury.

Damn it, Zhang Tie could only curse in his heart.

This morning, when Zhang Tiegang had just finished washing up in his room and was about to go to the restaurant for breakfast, he was blocked at the entrance of the restaurant by a group of girls from Zhixingyuan.

The group of girls were fierce and full of power. When he saw the group of girls blocking his path and looking at him with "knives and arrows" eyes, Zhang Tie's heart skipped a beat, knowing that these girls were at this moment. It's definitely not good for you.

"Zhang Tie, right? We want to discuss something with you. I wonder if you have the guts to agree!" Among those girls, one is already in Level 6 and is one or two years older than Zhang Tie. She looks like a "big sister." "The elegant girl came over, with a cold face and said unceremoniously.

Zhang Tie carefully looked at the girl who was slightly plump, estimated the size of the girl's breasts, 34d, swallowed quietly, and then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I've had so many girls express their love to me. I didn't expect that I would be so low-key and attract so much attention now. I am currently focused on cultivation and study, and I have no time to take care of my children's personal relationships. , please bury what you want to say to me in your heart, just like burying a beautiful and fragrant seed, don’t say it out, just leave a beautiful memory to your youth, okay?”

In just an instant, a bunch of girls were dumbfounded by Zhang Tie's words, and then the pretty faces of each girl turned pale, because they were so angry with Zhang Tie...
