Zhang Tie didn’t know how many fiery lotus roots had he eaten. When he felt full and the sun above his qi sea couldn’t absorb the special energy from fiery lotus roots anymore, Zhang Tie finally stopped.

Zhang Tie didn’t know how many days had passed. When he felt that he couldn’t absorb the special energy from fiery lotus roots anymore, Zhang Tie also felt very sleepy and tired. Closely after that, he rushed out of the freezer all the way to the lobby of Palace Tree before returning to his own bedroom and throwing himself onto the bed.

Even knights needed sleep to recover their energy and physical strength.

When Zhang Tie woke up in about two days, he became energetic again.

After having a bumper dinner in Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie called Heller, Aziz, Edward and Agan to test the effect of fiery lotus roots in Edward’s workshop beneath the Palace Tree, which could spout fire from the ground.

…

“Wait a moment…” Edward hurriedly stopped Agan when Zhang Tie stood straight and had Agan pierce at him by a fine steel long sword so as to test the strengthening effect of his protective battle qi. Closely after that, Zhang Tie handed a pair of thick gloves to Agan, saying, “Here’s a pair of asbestos gloves. After putting on it, you would not be scalded…”

After taking the pair of gloves, Agan put it on before holding the fine steel long sword again.

“Come on, no worry…” Zhang Tie told Agan.

Agan nodded as he threw a glance at Zhang Tie. Gritting his teeth, he then pierced his long sword at Zhang Tie’s shoulder.

Before the fine steel long sword touched Zhang Tie’s shoulder, Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi had quivered as a glow flashed by. “Aah…” Agan screamed. With a crashing sound, he dropped his long sword while he was sent flying backward.

The fine steel long sword, lying on the ground, turned pretty red just like having been taken out of the furnace while its tip had almost melted.

After taking so many fiery lotus roots, Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi finally accomplished a powerful evolution and carried a bit power of the fiery flame. When his protective battle qi encountered a strike, as long as Zhang Tie ran his spirit, it would be able to bounce back the high-temperature strike.

Agan, Aziz and Edward were all petrified by the red fine steel long sword, lying on the ground.

“Hahaha, that’s unimaginable…” Zhang Tie couldn’t stand bursting into laughter as he watched them and that fine steel long sword.

When Zhang Tie saw his master Zhaoyuan turn a LV 10 strong fighter’s arm into ash when being hunted by people in the Dragon Island, he was pretty shocked. Unimaginably, he could make it one day too. Additionally, Zhang Tie was confident that the anti-strike ability of his protective battle qi was much greater than that of his master Zhao Yuan after such a powerful and effective evolution.

The fiery lotus roots that his master ate ought to not match him in quantity and quality.

Protective battle qi was a pattern for a knight to apply his battle qi, which originated from the sun above one’s qi sea at one’s lower abdomen.

At this moment, the sun above Zhang Tie’s qi sea appeared to have changed too——it was more brilliant than that before and had expanded by two times. Not only that, the sun was surrounded by a bizarre golden flame which looked like a corona.

Besides the power of his protective battle qi, Zhang Tie felt that his battle qi had grown more powerful too. After looking around, Zhang Tie flicked, sending a bit meteor-like battle qi towards the set of navyblue iron outfit on the rack and directly penetrating the location on its breast.

Edward ran over there and got back the broken breast armor. There was a thumb-sized hole on the armor as the metal over there had been melted.

Although Zhang Tie’s same trick could also penetrate through this armor easily several days ago; it would not be such easy. Several days ago, his battle qi couldn’t melt metal as it didn’t have the function of high-temperature destruction. Today, Zhang Tie had grasped this trick for real.

Undoubtedly, fiery lotus roots helped Zhang Tie to accomplish a round of evolution of his protective battle qi and his aggressive battle qi. After that, flame and high-temperature destruction were not exclusive to others.

There were some vents of eruption in different sizes and temperatures within Edward’s workshop. At this moment, the vents were still erupting high-temperature flames. After coming to one side of a vent, Zhang Tie felt as comfortable as the warm wind. By contrast, he felt pretty hot before.

Watching the 1.7 m high red flame, Zhang Tie became hesitant for a second before putting his two feet on two sides of the vent above the flame.

Under the high temperature, Zhang Tie’s boa silk robe and shoes turned into ash in a split second. However, Zhang Tie was safe and sound above the flame, while being naked…

If outsiders saw this scene, they must have taken Zhang Tie as a fire god as it was too amazing.

Zhang Tie stood in the flame for five minutes without releasing his protective battle qi. When his skin started to turn red like taking a bath, Zhang Tie walked out of it.

After moving his hand, Zhang Tie took a robe out of his portable space-teleportation item and put it on.

Although he wondered the power of the Real Sun Flame of Taiyi Old Man, Zhang Tie had strong confidence because of the power granted by fiery lotus roots. As long as he didn’t turn into ash in a split second under the so-called Real Sun Flame, he would be able to deal with the sage-level knight. No matter what, Zhang Tie had the greatest trump card——Castle of Black Iron.

Heller’s control of Castle of Black Iron was also unimaginable. Almost everything lifeless in this space was under his control.

“If I catch fire and enter Castle of Black Iron, could you die out the d*mn Real Sun Flame for me or lower the temperature in the freezer so that the flame would die out itself?” Zhang Tie asked Heller “shamelessly”…
