Chapter 1617 - Preparation

If Taiyi Old Man heard Zhang Tie’s question after taking such a pile of fiery lotus roots, he must have burst into tears.

It took Taiyi Old Man hundreds of years to promote to a sage-level knight with aiding strength. However, Zhang Tie intended to deal with him using endless trump cards and cheats. Taiyi Old Man’s feeling could be imagined if he knew that.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s question, Heller gazed at him for quite a while before asking Zhang Tie, “Castle Lord, could you enter Castle of Black Iron in combat?”

“You bet. Why not?” Zhang Tie said as he shrugged, “Over these days, I’m actually pondering and deducing the tactics facing a sage-level knight. Facing a sage-level knight, the safest way for me is to extend the distance between us using my ability as a divine dominator. At the same time, I would strike him by golden spears so that he couldn’t catch me. In the worst scenario, we would confront each other and enter a stalemate. It depends on who could bear it in the end. If the old d**chebag treats me by Real Sun Flame, I would rapidly drill into earth or water before entering the Castle of Black Iron as soon as possible when he couldn’t see me!”

“That’s a good method!”

“Of course, I could enter Castle of Black Iron within 0.001 seconds. At the same time, I would release my duplicate for escaping outside on behalf of me. In that case, even if my opponent is a sage-level knight, as long as he doesn’t have lotus flower eyes, due to the long distance and the existences of rocks and water, he couldn’t discover that I’ve been substituted by my duplicate at all. Even though he could, he must think that I’m performing another weird hiding trick. Even though the Real Sun Flame couldn’t be seen on my duplicate, he must think that I have the special item or method to deal with it. I don’t need to explain it to anyone!”

This was the benefit brought by the fame of Immortal Qianji. Given his rich achievements and military exploits and trump cards, in many cases, as long as Zhang Tie didn’t reveal too many loopholes, he would win proper reasons from others even if he was cheating.

“Any flame should have its material foundation. As for ordinary flame, it could die out when it’s isolated from oxygen. Similarly, Real Sun Flame also needs a material condition and media. Given the material that His Majesty showed you, Real Sun Flame is completely under the control of the sage-level knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. It probably needs to withdraw the fire element from Elements Realm. It doesn’t need oxygen; instead, it only needs fire element from Elements Realm. Therefore, it could burn everything and is hard to die out. In the outside world, nothing could be used to fully isolate Elements Realm; however, in Castle of Black Iron, when in combat, I could have all the four elements in Castle of Black Iron gather around the Abyss of Elements; instead of spilling over. Additionally, I would build a super low temperature isolation zone for elements. No oxygen could be found there, nor the four elements. As long as Castle Lord’s body didn’t burn, you could take off all your clothes when you enter the super low temperature isolation zone. In that way, the Real Sun Flame should die out…”

“Should?”

‘Yup, it’s just my theoretical guess. After all, I’m not a sage-level knight. Nor do I grasp the aiding strength Real Sun Flame!” Heller said calmly, “Even if my guess is wrong, Castle Lord, you don’t need to worry about that either. Because as long as Real Sun Flame enters Castle of Black Iron, I would know its condition. Closely after that, I would invalid its burning condition!”

“Good. I believe in you!” Zhang Tie nodded. After that, he thought up something as he told Edward, “As those fiery lotus leaves could be made into a top-class heat-resistant outfit. When I’m absent in the following days, you could build some more outfits with face masks for me!”

After feeling his value, Edward instantly became thrilled as he replied, “As you wish, my master…”

Fiery lotus was nice. Its roots could improve his heat-resistant capacity and help Zhang Tie accomplish the evolution of his battle qi. Additionally, its leaves could be made into a heat-resistant outfit. What was more, Zhang Tie had Castle of Black Iron. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t worry about the Real Sun Flame of Taiyi Old Man anymore.

Although Zhang Tie wondered about the aiding strength of a sage-level knight, he confirmed that the implementation of aiding the strength of a sage-level knight must consume one’s strength greatly and couldn’t be applied limitlessly. Otherwise, a sage-level knight grasping aiding strength would solve the problem at the bank of Weishui River. With the above three trump cards, if Zhang Tie really encountered the Real Sun Flame from Taiyi Old Man, as long as he could stand it for a few times until Taiyi Old Man couldn’t use it anymore, Zhang Tie would take advantage of his speed as a divine dominator and his kinetic strike to push the combat into a stalemate.

That was Zhang Tie’s plan.

Even at this moment, Zhang Tie was still not presumptuous and felt that he could defeat a sage-level knight.

After that, Zhang Tie returned to the lobby of the Palace Tree and started to take those fruits on the small tree.

Over these days, there were many more fruits on the small tree, all of which were fruits of redemption.

Accurately, there were over 140 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and over 20 fruits of redemption from hair shells and gulf shrimps.

Only after taking over 140 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, Zhang Tie’s strength had surged by 10 more tons which meant more powerful kinetic strikes.

However, as Zhang Tie took more and more fruits from the gratitude of golden uangs, he felt all the weapons were growing lighter. How boring it was!

Zhang Tie felt “boring” pleasantly…

Besides, the small tree gave Zhang Tie one more surprise——a fruit of redemption from the gratitude of earthworms that he had not seen for a long time.

Realizing that Paul’s team had found a steady channel for setting free earthworms, Zhang Tie felt excited once again.

“Fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs could increase Castle Lord’s strength, which is the most effective way to improve your battle strength. However, Castle Lord, your explosiveness couldn’t match the growing strength well as the explosiveness of humans is not very high among all the animals. If Castle Lord could find a fruit of redemption which could increase your explosiveness, Castle Lord would realize a great leap for real…”

Heller’s voice sounded when Zhang Tie was about to put the first fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs into his mouth. Zhang Tie stopped what he was doing…

‘Explosiveness!’

Zhang Tie was startled by this word…
