Zhang Tie, who was promoted to level ten, did not indulge in the achievements in front of him, but continued to consolidate his strength.
According to Heller's suggestion, during the training process after the tenth level, he had better eat the iron fetus fruit first, which can increase his body's ability to withstand damage to a new level.
Before this, when Zhang Tie was training in the Crystal Battle Castle, he had to withstand at least seven days of blows to obtain an Iron Fetus Fruit. But after he fell into the hands of the Senel family, it took just a few days The cruel torture caused five iron-bearing fruits to hang on the small tree, which shows how cruel the torture was.
Take Zhang Tie's leg as an example. The broken bones in the leg were completely crushed by someone using a torture instrument. The pain was really like hell, and it was simply unbearable. In addition to this, there are whippings on the scalded skin all over the body and various tortures, any of which can cause a person to completely collapse.
Under such torture, even a piece of real iron could be refined, but Zhang Tie survived.
After he survived, he was naturally able to taste the fruit he got after enduring that hellish pain. Just for that fruit, Zhang Tie felt that he should be grateful to the little tree, because that little tree allowed him everything he experienced. The pain was not completely painful, and it allowed him to still see hope in despair, and he could still walk out of the cell with persistence.
It took Zhang Tie two days to digest the five iron fetus fruits.
Just like the qualitative change that occurs when the number of bright points is ignited to a certain extent, due to the accumulation of the Iron Fetal Fruits that he had eaten before, after completely digesting the five Iron Fetal Fruits, Zhang Tie felt that his body was bearing the blows and injuries. The resulting "qualitative change".
This qualitative change, in Zhang Tie's words, allowed him to truly understand what "steel and iron bones" are, and the best interpretation of "steel and iron bones" came after he digested the five iron fetus fruits. Heller's data after doing some tests on him.
Heller said that after several years of training, Zhang Tie finally achieved some "small success" by taking Tieteiguo. What effect did this "small success" achieve? That is, more than 95% of Zhang Tie's body parts and areas, except for the eyes, nose, ears and vagina, were able to withstand pure brute force and force weighing less than 900 kilograms. He is completely immune to blunt force blows. The force of less than 900 kilograms hit Zhang Tie and could no longer cause any harm to him.
And even the eyes. The nose, ears and vagina are very fragile parts of the body. Zhang Tie can withstand pure brute force and blunt force attacks, which is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary people.
In addition to being completely immune to damage caused by blunt weapons and brute force weighing less than 900 kilograms, this body's ability to withstand other physical damage such as sharp objects, high temperatures or flames, and combat energy blows has also been greatly improved.
Heller used a very vivid sentence to tell Zhang Tie his body's ability to withstand these types of injuries at this moment.
"To put it simply, at this moment, your body is naked. If you are splashed with boiling water of 100 degrees Celsius, you will not be burned. An ordinary six-year-old child will attack you with an ordinary sword. It can't make you see blood. The overall ability to withstand poisonous damage has been increased by 4%. The ability to withstand mental attack damage has been increased by 5%. The damage ability of all fighting spirits that hit you has been increased. It will also be weakened by about 3% to 12%."
"As for the fighting spirit attack, it is specific. It is determined according to the level and characteristics of that person's fighting spirit. For example, if a person who has practiced iron-blooded fighting spirit attacks you, your body will be immune to the damage of the iron-blooded fighting spirit. The ability can only reach about 4%. If what attacks you is the raging wave battle energy, bull battle energy, fierce fire battle energy, crescent moon battle energy, etc. that you came into contact with on Qianlong Island, your body will not respond to these. The damage immunity of fighting spirit can reach more than 9%."
"It should be noted that what the Iron Fetal Fruit brings to you is entirely your body's natural ability, not the ability that any secret books or exercises bring to you. If you can come into contact with some protective secrets and exercises in the future, The defensive effect of your body. There are also bonuses to the defensive effect of those techniques and the secret books themselves."
Zhang Tie knows that although such a body's ability to withstand injuries cannot be compared with his master Zhao Yuan's abnormal ability to walk out of the magma unscathed, it is equally valuable to Zhang Tie at this moment, at least among the same level. , already at the top level, gave Zhang Tie a sense of inhumanity and the ability to pretend to be 13 in front of many low-level fighters.
The information in what Heller told him also made Zhang Tie understand a lot of things at once, and he understood why Heller had so earnestly advised him not to underestimate the benefits of the Iron Fetus Fruit some time ago.
The effect of this iron tire fruit on improving one's physical fitness and defense ability is absolutely comprehensive, without any omissions, and covers almost every aspect - the ability to withstand and resist blunt weapon damage, and the ability to withstand and resist sharp weapon damage. , to withstand and resist physical damage such as fire and high temperature, to withstand and resist mental attack damage, to withstand and resist toxin damage that invades the body, and to withstand and resist war energy damage.
The body is the capital of everything. Only a strong body is the best guarantee for surviving in troubled times. A strong and solid body will also bring strong and solid confidence and belief to people, allowing them to live more calmly. Face difficulties and challenges.
"If the Lord of the Fortress hadn't been sleeping for three years because of Abian's matter, and the Lord of the Fortress hadn't harvested a single iron fruit in these three years, with such an effect, the Lord of the Fortress should have achieved this when he advanced to the ninth level. Achieved, if the Lord of the castle had such a body when he was at level nine, he would have more capital and room for maneuver when facing difficulties and enemies later, and there would be a lot less danger!" Heller said to Zhang Tie with emotion.
Zhang Tieshen believed that he had indeed missed a lot in those three years, but fortunately he still had the opportunity to make up for it. At least the fruit that Xiaoshu had given him had been preserved, and he could catch up again.
On the third day after digesting the few iron fruit fruits, Zhang Tie continued to sit under the small tree and began to nibble on the unleak fruits.
The world after level 10 is different from the world before level 10. This difference is reflected in many aspects. Becoming a sixth-level warrior is an important watershed on the path of cultivation, and becoming a tenth-level strong warrior is another watershed. The scenery before and after these two watersheds are completely different.
Before level six, practitioners cannot master fighting spirit. It is also impossible to fuse the soul fire of Warcraft to produce a battle spirit totem.
Before the tenth level, the cultivator's fighting spirit cannot be attacked outside the body. The fighting spirit totem of each level from level six to nine is fixed. When upgrading, the soul fire of the corresponding level must be integrated to have the ability to attack. The possibility of further training and advancement.
But after level ten, all this changed dramatically. The cultivator's combat energy attack ability begins to become stronger. It can strike from a distance, and the effect of soul fire on cultivators after the tenth level. Profound changes have also taken place, the most important of which are two.
The first change is that at this time, the soul fire of those level 10 or above monsters that can be fused with level 10 strong warriors begins to become precious. It is no longer something that everyone can easily possess, but becomes a cultivator. a luxury product.
The second change is that when a cultivator advances, whether it is integrated with the soul fire is no longer a necessary condition that hinders the cultivator from advancing.
The first change is easy to understand. That's because the magical beasts above level ten are rare and difficult to obtain, and their soul fire has naturally become more precious. Except for a small number of magical beasts above level ten on land, the rest of the magical beasts of this level are hidden in The deeper underground world or those dangerous places where it is difficult to see human traces do not require a lot of effort and cost. It is impossible for ordinary people to even see monsters above level ten, let alone want their soul fire.
The second change is because after the tenth level of the human body, the potential treasure of the body is further opened. As the spirit of all things, human beings can be self-sufficient in everything. When advancing, the assistance of soul fire is no longer needed. Of course, this does not mean that the soul fire after the tenth level is useless, but on the contrary, the effect of the soul fire after the tenth level on a cultivator is definitely much greater than that before the tenth level, and it is more powerful. precious. There is no other reason than that the soul fire after level 10 can mutate the fusion's fighting spirit and add some extra attributes or some powerful abilities. This alone is enough to make people crazy.
Therefore, because of these two reasons, the fighting spirit totems and fighting spirit abilities of masters after the tenth level began to diverge. Because many people could not obtain the soul fire after the tenth level to fuse, their fighting spirit totems became Popular "blank slate totem".
In such a "blank slate totem", no image of a powerful monster appears anymore. In that aura of war, the only thing that appears is a bright light dot, representing the number of bright points ignited on its body, because those The appearance of light spots, so the "whiteboard totem" has another relatively nice name, called "starry sky totem".
As for the battle spirit totems of masters who can obtain soul fire fusion after level ten, in addition to the bright star-like light spots possessed by starry sky totems, they will also have the appearance of powerful monsters, that powerful monsters. The image combined with the effect of those starry sky totems, in addition to being more majestic and intimidating, also represents that person's stronger combat power and stronger capital, which can be used to show off. The power and characteristics of its fighting spirit will also show obvious differences from the fighting spirit that is not fused with soul fire.
From level 6 to level 9 before level 10, you can fuse soul fire once at each level, and the level of soul fire fusion should correspond to your own level. After level 10 and before becoming a knight, everyone can fuse soul fire once. There is only one chance, but this time the fusion opportunity is not limited by himself and the soul fire level. If a strong warrior at level 10 has the ability and ability, he can fuse the soul fire of a powerful level 16 monster, allowing The power of his fighting spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zhang Tie's fighting spirit totem at the moment is the "blank slate totem". In his fighting spirit totem, if you count carefully, you can clearly see 55 bright spots in the rolling iron-blooded flag fighting spirit. Those light spots represented the number of bright spots that had just been ignited by the powerful warrior in his body at this moment.
At the moment, there is no super powerful magical beast's soul fire in the Black Iron Castle for Zhang Tie to fuse, and Zhang Tie is not in a hurry. After the tenth level, fusing the soul fire of the magical beast is a step on the path of cultivation for every cultivator. This is a major matter and must be treated with caution. In addition to opportunity and ability, there are many things to consider. Because they have not found a suitable soul fire, some people still resist the whiteboard totem even if they have reached the sixteenth level of war spirit.
With this mentality, Zhang Tie continued to move forward.
"Hercules of the Ox Technique" is the residual scripture of the "Infinite Peng King Sutra". The above cultivation path is cut off only after reaching the three-star strong warrior, and you have to advance from the tenth level to the eleventh level. The number of bright points that need to be ignited has become thirty-four. This difficulty is almost equivalent to the sum of the number of bright points that need to be ignited from level one to level nine. The so-called three-star strong warrior allows Zhang Tie to follow the steps step by step. Just ignite thirteen more bright points.
Just seven days later, when Zhang Tie continued to ignite the thirteen bright points of his body, the secret book of "Hercules Ox Kung Fu" in Zhang Tie's hand could no longer provide Zhang Tie with any guidance and reference.
The most arduous training moment has finally arrived...
On the afternoon of December 9th. After igniting the last bright spot in the "Hercules Bull Skill" in the morning, and causing the spiritual feather in the temple to generate a golden flame again. Zhang Tie left under the small tree, and then ate, rested, walked, stood on the top of the mountain and watched the lives of the people in the small town in the distance. It was not until Zhang Tie felt that his body and spirit had returned to their best condition that Zhang Tie He sat under the small tree again.
Knowing that the subsequent cultivation process would be extremely difficult and that each step would require many twists and turns to find the correct truth, Heller stood by to remind Zhang Tie. "It is best for the castle master to choose the realm of soul robbery that consumes the least amount of mental power. This allows the castle master's mental power to continuously activate the realm of soul robbery. He will continue to try and make mistakes. With the most optimistic estimate, it must be accurate. To find the next bright spot that needs to be ignited, you have to die at least four hundred times in the Soul Tribulation Realm to be able to do so."
"Okay, I know!"
After saying this. Zhang Tie closed his eyes, activated a realm of soul tribulation, and entered the realm of soul tribulation instantly.
…
Waves, breeze, beach, sunshine. Zhang Tie looked at the place in front of him to the west of Qianlong Island where he had salvaged aquamarine iron ore, and laughed.
Zhang Tie stood on the shore, and in the sea water, a small sea snake was twirling its body in the water on the beach, as if waiting for Zhang Tie to give Zhang Tie a bite after he entered the water.
Zhang Tie didn't pay attention to the little sea snake. Instead, he found a clean reef higher than the ground on the nearby beach and sat cross-legged on the reef. He began to look inside his own shrine's bright spot. The golden flame that could ignite the next bright spot was still there, but corresponding to this flame was the 919 that had not yet been ignited in his body at this moment. A clear point.
Which one is the bright point? Zhang Tie inspected it once, and then smiled bitterly. Whatever he chose, in fact, no matter how he chose, the chance of being correct was less than 1/900, so there was nothing to hesitate about.
Thinking like this, Zhang Tie let the golden flame in the palace fly to a bright spot on his head, and prepared to start from top to bottom, so that he could remember the sequence...
The golden flame merged into the highest bright point on Zhang Tie's body, and then in the next second, Zhang Tie heard a sound like a glass bottle breaking in his ears. He opened his eyes and found that he He has withdrawn from the realm of soul calamity and returned to the foot of the small tree.
Zhang Tie was a little surprised, "Ah, what's going on? How could you get out of the soul tribulation so quickly?"
"The first trial and error failed. The Lord of the castle suffered backlash and died once during the soul tribulation, so he quit automatically!" Heller replied calmly.
"Backlash, so fast? But I didn't feel any pain?"
"There is a limit to the speed at which neurons in the human body respond to the feeling of pain. The feeling of pain is actually a series of electronic signals in the body that are transmitted to specific receptor areas in the brain. When backlash occurs and destroys your body, the speed exceeds that of the neurons. When the speed of that electronic signal is transmitted, you don't feel the pain, and everything is over!" The Lord of the Fortress wanted to see Zi Zhangtie, and then asked, "The Lord of the Fortress, do you want to see what happened at that time?"
"good!"
Heller waved his hand, and a holographic scene appeared in front of Zhang Tie. In the scene, Zhang Tie stood on the beach, and then sat on a clean stone. After a few seconds, there was a bang, and his whole body instantly turned into A ball of blood mist, and suddenly no bones were left, not even the dregs were left.
Zhang Tie felt chills running down his body, and he couldn't help but shiver, "This... this is the consequence of a mistake that ignites the bright spot. If I do this in reality, this is what I will end up with?"
"Yes, once there is a deviation or error in practice, the backlash of the Emperor-level secrets is very terrifying and direct. When you mistakenly select the target, you are equivalent to pressing a detonation switch, and the 987 in your body This bright spot is like 987 miniature alchemical bombs buried in your body that explode in an instant. It will not give your body any time to react or feel, but it will kill you instantly without any bones left! Such an advantage , for you at this moment, you just won’t let your body and spirit accept the test of pain and suffering in the realm of soul calamity. As long as you have sufficient mental strength, you can continue to try and make mistakes..." Heller said solemnly said.
Zhang Tie was silent for a moment, and then he laughed, "To restore the original appearance of the Emperor-level secret book, this road is indeed difficult enough, but since I have chosen it, I will go on it no matter how difficult it is!"
After saying this, Zhang Tie continued to sit down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and used a bit of mental power to reactivate the Soul Tribulation state that consumed the least mental power.
Just a few seconds later, Zhang Tie opened his eyes again and failed again...
Thirteen hours later, after his body was exploded 796 times during the soul calamity, for the 797th time, a bright spot on a fast muscle on the calf below the knee was ignited by Zhang Tie. The dots began to echo with other bright dots, and brought a brand new power to Zhang Tie's body...
That’s it…
Zhang Tie opened his eyes with a smile on his face...
Half an hour later, in the real world, the bright spot on Zhang Tie's body was ignited...
"Ligning this bright spot is definitely a historic step for the human race since the Great Cataclysm. Another emperor-level secret book begins to restore its original glory." Heller, who has been accompanying Zhang Tie, concluded with a solemn look.
Zhang Tie smiled and said nothing, but left the sapling and began to eat, sleep and rest normally. The next day, he came under the sapling again and picked off the saplings on the sapling again. After eating two fruitless fruits, resting for a while, he sat quietly under the small tree and entered the realm of soul calamity.
After being exploded 487 times in a row, Zhang Tie found a new bright spot, the fifteenth bright spot to advance to the eleventh level...
…
This time, Zhang Tie sat under the small tree for almost three months...
