Chapter 296: Collision

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

The bamboo woods man told Zhang Tie about a simple way to complete his first evolution in his ancestral bloodline of precise throwing, namely — keep practicing! Practice precisely throwing with javelins of different sizes!

Now that he knew he could precisely throw a 1.4 m javelin, how about throwing a 1.3 m javelin? And when he can precisely throw a 1.3 m javelin, how about throwing a 1.29 m one and then try throwing a 1.28 m one...

As long as he kept practicing by constantly extending the applicable range of precise throwing and shortening the sizes of the javelins, Zhang Tie would definitely be able throw a knife, a bolt, a piece of stone, or a javelin head, which was only several inches in length, as precisely as he threw out a javelin. When he could accomplish this, he would finish his first round of evolution of his ancestral bloodline.

After learning of this method from the bamboo woods man, Zhang Tie had been thinking about it a lot. For the majority of people, because precise throwing was not a senior ancestral bloodline, its power was completely determined by that person's strength. However, because people's strength was limited, when it reached a certain distance, the throwing power could not match that of a strong crossbow. The attack only depended on the sudden explosive force of a person while the power of a crossbow depended on the combination of the strong power of the bow and the human's power. The two were not even on the same starting line.

'Although this is applicable to most people, it is not applicable to me, because I have the seven-strength fruits, which can improve my strength to a level which is out of normal person's imagination. With only 9 wild wolf seven-strength fruits, I have already become so much more terrifyingly powerful than most people. What if I have 9 more huge wolf seven-strength fruits and 9 more golden wolf seven-strength fruits?

'Undoubtedly, that would mean that the power of precise throwing has no upper limit for me as it can constantly increase along with the seven-strength fruits that I eat.

'Based on this premise, once I finish the first round of evolution of my ancestral bloodline, besides javelins, I will also be able to use other lighter, smaller, and more portable items to complete throwing attacks. That means that items that are not powerful in others' eyes will exert a terrifying power with my rising strength. By then, I will not only be like a movable, humanoid artillery battery, but also be the most terrifying king of hidden weapons.'

When he imagined that once he raised his hands, he would scare off the enemy and make them flee in terror, Zhang Tie felt his blood boiling up throughout his body.

After forming his Iron-Blood Battle Qi, Zhang Tie's next target for his fighting skills was to complete the first round of evolution of his ancestral bloodline and apply his precise throwing skill for smaller objects.

The javelins made by the Items Department for Zhang Tie were divided into 41 groups of different specifications. Each group contained 6 javelins. The lengths ranged from normal size to 5 inch, which looked like a dart. They were put in 3 big crates, weighing more than 1480 kg in total. Even though the 3 big crates were not too heavy, Zhang Tie could only carry them back to his room in the Songtao Pavilion over 3 trips.

When Zhang Tie was carrying the last crate back, he met those girls who had wanted to take revenge for their junior sisters in the Breaking Heaven Department more than 10 days ago.

7 or 8 men were behind them. There was total of more than 10 people all together. As they walked towards Zhang Tie while talking and laughing, unavoidably, they clashed with him.

Zhang Tie didn't feel like talking with those girls as they acted so strange to Zhang Tie. Additionally, Zhang Tie was very busy and had no time to care about how they felt towards him.

Zhang Tie really felt that there was nothing to say, but the girls seemed to be very hateful towards him. When Zhang Tie was still over 10 m away from those girls, they had already fixed their eyes full of 'killing intent' onto him.

"I heard that you've not selected the fundamental moves and shield defense skill?" One of those girls said icily when she was close to Zhang Tie.

"I've not got enough clan contribution points. I'm doing tasks first!" Zhang Tie calmly answered while both of them stopped walking.

"I hope that you never select those 2 compulsory fighting courses."

"Never mind, I will not live up to your good intention, senior sisters!"

'What a joke! You want me to scare me off?' Zhang Tie felt that it was a bit ridiculous, 'These girls really take themselves too seriously!'

"Humph... I hope you don't eat your own words!"

After this, Zhang Tie and that girl didn't talk any more and kept walking on. However, Zhang Tie had not expected that only after a few steps away, he had heard those girls talking with a man which immediately stopped Zhang Tie.

"Is this brat that Zhang Tie? I lost more than 100 gold coins because of him. He doesn't look that great..."

"That's him. It is really very strange for him to form Iron-Blood Battle Qi in one day. I was told that Iron-Blood Battle Qi could not be formed without being very brave. I really wonder how he could form it so smoothly!"

"He's a talent, but he has a poor reputation among the girls in the Zhixing Department. That's why Ruomei and the other junior sisters requested that we teach him a lesson!"

"What talent? He's just fortunate..." A faintly hoarse voice was heard, "I was told that his dad was a crap, who was chosen to marry a woman with a different surname. Finally, his dad stealthily eloped with that woman. As his dad is a douchebag, how could his son be that great..."

"Senior brother Qiguo, watch out your words, please!"

After stopping his footsteps, Zhang Tie turned back. With a loud sound, he threw the crate of 500 kg onto the ground. Hearing the killing intent from the falling crate, in a split second, they stopped walking and turned around.

Zhang Tie faintly narrowed his eyes as he looked at them with a cold expression and said in an icy voice, "The one who mentioned my dad, if you kneel down in front of me and kowtow for my dad three times and slap yourself 10 times to apologize to my dad, I will take it as if nothing has happened!"

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the others' faces changed.

"Zhang Tie, you..."

Before one of the girls frowned and wanted to say something, she was stopped by Zhang Tie's reproach.

"Shut up! It's got nothing to do with you!"

At this moment, Zhang Tie was totally like a different person as he was not as calm or happy as before.

"Junior brother, senior brother just made an indiscreet remark just now, don't be that aggressive!"

"An indiscreet remark? If he could about swear about his dad ten times like before, I will trust you!"

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, that person opened his mouth, yet his voice didn't come out at all.

Zhang Tie then fixed his eyes on the male boys among the group of people like a wolf as he growled, "Who said it just now? Where you are?"

"I said it, so what?" A young man around the age of 20 with a lanky face walked 2 steps forward as he raised his head and looked at Zhang Tie with a cold smile, "Don't think that you are unrivaled just because you've formed your Iron-Blood Battle Qi, as we're in the Breaking Heaven Department, I want to test your Iron-Blood Battle Qi..."

Soon after he said this, his face abruptly changed. At the same time, Zhang Tie exploded his Battle-Qi Totem — Bloody Banner. In the dense roiling Bloody Battle Qi, a golden terrifying hell-black spider gradually rose up from behind Zhang Tie like a giant. Finally the horrible monster which was as tall as a building started to look down at those people with icy eyes while a burning, dense, bloody energy like lively flames enshrouded everyone present.

Zhang Tie's battle qi totem was very frightening and shocking even from afar, let alone standing just in front the battle qi totem and being enshrouded by the qi field and frame of the whole battle qi totem.

The group of people in the opposite of Zhang Tie needed to raise up their heads to be able to see the whole battle qi totem. That hell-black spider was like a burning mountain which carried the fury and will of Zhang Tie; erected in front of everyone. When they looked into the 4 rows of 8 pitch-black icy eyes on the battle qi totem which was dozens of meters high, they would feel like they were gazing into hell. The feeling of darkness and fear was oppressive enough to frighten those timid ones and make them fall onto the ground.

Being influenced by Zhang Tie's great oppression and qi field, those people who were enshrouded by Zhang Tie's battle qi totem all started to roll up their own battle qi totems.

Most of their battle qi totems were LV 7 centipedes; only a few of them were LV 8 king snakes. Their battle qi totems varied from 2 m to 5 m. These battle qi totems in front of Zhang Tie's hell-black spider were like infants in front of an adult. When they stood on the opposite side, it felt that Zhang Tie's hell-black spider was going to eat those centipedes and king snakes like eating dim sum...

The battle qi totem of that guy with a lanky face was also a LV 8 king snake. Looking at Zhang Tie who was walking towards him, that man's battle qi totem also started to shake violently while a weird expression flashed across his eyes!

"Move back..." Noticing the increasingly dangerous atmosphere over the two men, the other guys hurriedly moved back to make some space for them.

Where there were men, there were collisions. Therefore, it was not strange to have collisions in the Breaking Heaven Department. When those collisions could not be solved orally, in accordance with the current rules, they could only be settled through their fists. When a big problem arose from a fight, for instance one party was killed or one party believed that something was amiss, it would be solved by the Disciplinary Department of Hidden Dragon Palace according to the rules of the Breaking Heaven Department.

The moment the other people near that person moved back, Zhang Tie had already launched an attack; making the stone slabs under his feet completely shatter into small pieces. In a split second, Zhang Tie shot out like a bolt while launching his fist towards that person's head, which was accompanied by the tiger's roar of the wind...

Chapter 297: I'm Long

Translator: WQL Editor: - -

Zhang Tie used the fastest and most aggressive movement of the 36 free hand movements of the Iron-blood Fist——Mountain Collapse Punch.

He gathered the strength from his legs. The punch contained an unrivaled power and was full of Zhang Tie's determination, decisiveness and wild-fire like fury.

Anyone who dared to insult Zhang Tie's family members had to face Zhang Tie's fury in the equivalent of a life and death battle.

Even though this member of the Breaking-Heavens Department had reached level 8, he still dared not to directly face Zhang Tie's fist with Iron-blood battle qi; instead, he chose to avoid Zhang Tie's attack.

The guy moved so fast that when Zhang Tie launched his punch towards him, he immediately flashed away and reached a position 5 steps away from Zhang Tie's left.

It was also Zhang Tie's first time encountering such an opponent. In a split second, he had already avoided his punch. Commoners could only feel that person suddenly disappeared; however, with super high spiritual energy, Zhang could slow down his movement and see clearly what he had done. That person didn't disappear all of sudden but used strange movements. As a result, he instantly escaped out of Zhang Tie's attack range.

"Mountain splitting ax!". After the punch, Zhang Tie instantly tilted his body as he slashed his right leg towards that man like a big ax. That man then escaped away once again. At the same time, Zhang Tie's leg broke the air and made a sharp sound before touching the ground, leaving a 2 m long and 30 cm deep rift.

Zhang Tie's 36 free hand movements of the Iron-blood Fist were so fluent that soon after the Mountain Splitting Ax was used, the moment his feet landed, Zhang Tie instantly surged forward with a bow-like stance and attacked that man's lower abdomen with a heavy elbow. The man flashed away for the third time. Zhang Tie then used a horizontal sword palm, causing a tearing sound in the air.

When Zhang Tie hacked onto the ground with the Fierce Mountain Collapse Axe. Every onlooker felt a faint earthquake. Knowing the power of Zhang Tie's Iron-blood Fist, all of them changed their faces. After exchanging glances, they all saw a wisp of fear and shock in the eyes of the opponent. Although they knew that Iron-blood Fist and Iron-blood battle qi were great, none of them had imagined that it could be that great. Zhang Tie was only level 6. That was too absurd.

Anyone who directly faced Zhang Tie���s attacks just now would be severely wounded. That was too fierce to stand. What was more amazing was that Zhang Tie kept applying his fierce fist movements as smoothly and rapidly as an untiring machine. He kept launching attacks towards Zhang Guoqing. However, Zhang Guoqing escaped from his attacks each time through weird foot movements.

"Is Iron-blood fist truly that great?" That man among the onlookers who talked with Zhang Tie just now started to mumble when he watched Zhang Tie's flexible moving shadow. Of course, he could judge from Zhang Tie's movements that Zhang Tie had only cultivated Iron-blood Fist and nothing else. Additionally, Zhang Tie didn't receive any systematic training on fighting skills; for instance, Zhang Tie had not mastered the fundamental movements which was a compulsory course in the Breaking-Heavens Department. He didn't see any fighting skills in the Secret Knowledge Pavilion from Zhang Tie either. Even though, by only using Iron-blood fist, Zhang Tie had already beaten Zhang Qingguo so fiercely that Zhang Qingguo didn't even have a chance to fight back; instead, he just escaped here and there.

During this process, Zhang Qingguo also tried to launch attacks several times; however, Zhang Tie just ignored his attacks. Zhang Tie kept attacking him without any inclination to defend or escape from his attacks at all. Zhang Tie was definitely fighting him at the price of life. In fear of Zhang Tie's Iron-blood battle qi, Zhang Qingguo didn't even dare to directly face Zhang Tie. In every instance in which Zhang Qingguo prepared to fight back, he had been forced by Zhang Tie to give up and run away.

It was okay at the beginning; however, as the battle between them continued, the scene became as follows: Zhang Tie chased after Zhang Qingguo by beating him while Zhang Qingguo kept escaping from his attacks.

At the beginning, Zhang Qingguo was thinking about looking for a chance to fight back when the latter was tired. However, after being chased after and beaten for more than 10 minutes, Zhang Tie didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he became more spirited and could use his movements more smoothly. As a result, the roar of a tiger and the breaking-air sound along with his punches became sharper and sharper. Zhang Qingguo's face then turned black as his forehead started to ooze a cold sweat.

Hearing the noise, the number of onlookers also increased.

"Come here and have a look, a level 6 junior brother is chasing after and beating a level 8 senior brother. The level 8 senior brother was beaten so fiercely that he escaped everywhere..."Among the new onlookers, some wicked guys shouted loudly. Hearing that yell, Zhang Qingguo almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Right then, Zhang Tie left an opening on his right ribs to Zhang Qingguo. Immediately, Zhang Qingguo attacked Zhang Tie's right ribs. When he made it, Zhang Qingguo's heart pounded. However, before he became excited, he became shocked as Zhang Tie directly clipped his hand with right arm by making a turn.

Zhang Tie was so powerful that he instantly clipped Zhang Qingguo's right hand tightly like a pair of pliers. Zhang Qingguo could not draw his right hand out at all. As a result, his right hand instantly became numb.

When Zhang Qingguo's right hand was clipped under Zhang Tie's armpit, his partners were all shocked, "That's awful!". Nobody had imagined that Zhang Tie who was only level 6 could beat Zhang Qingguo, who was 2 levels higher than him. The chance left by Zhang Tie was made for the purpose of catching Zhang Qingguo.

"Let's see how you escape now!" Seeing Zhang Tie's bloody mouth and grim smile, Zhang Qingguo became greatly shocked as he shouted loudly, "Argh!" When he could not withdraw his right hand, he wanted to stomp onto Zhang Tie's foot; however, before he raised his foot, Zhang Tie's left foot had already raised up and stomped his foot. All of a sudden, Zhang Qingguo felt like he was being fixed by a big iron nail into the ground.

When he could not move his foot, he could only use the left hand. The two men both responded very quickly.

When Zhang Qingguo smacked Zhang Tie's chest with a left punch, Zhang Tie directly punched Zhang Qingguo's lower abdomen.

At this moment, as they could only move one hand and one foot, the two men were stuck together.

Zhang Qingguo's punch and Zhang Tie's punch were both fierce. As a result, they both spurted out a mouthful of blood and were wounded.

Plus the last time when he left an opening to Zhang Qingguo, Zhang Tie was beaten twice before spurted out blood; however, the Iron-blood Fist was so fierce that the moment he touched Zhang Qingguo's lower abdomen, he had made Zhang Qingguo spurt out blood.

After suffering from a punch from each other and spurting out blood respectively, Zhang Tie and Zhang Qingguo's eyes both turned red. They gritted their teeth tightly as they stared at each other's eyes. Using no fighting skills, they just punched each other at the price of blood and wounds. They wanted to know who could have the last laugh.

All the onlookers had been dumbfounded as none of them had imagined that the two people would fight in such a fierce manner.

One was level 6 and cultivated the Iron-blood Fist while the other was level 8 and cultivated another high-end battle qi and had been in the Breaking-Heavens Department for a long time. In only several seconds, the two had already attacked each other more than 10 times respectively, causing them spurt blood heavily.

The one who fell down first was Zhang Qingguo. Zhang Tie kept punching his lower abdomen many times, causing him spurt blood and lose the strength to fight back. Gradually, he bent over and knelt down in front of Zhang Tie. Then, he showed the whites of his eyes as he lay down on the ground and panted like a dead fish.

Spurting blood, Zhang Tie directly rode on his back and clenched his collar as he asked, "Are you wrong?"

Receiving no response, Zhang Tie slapped his face...

"Are you wrong?"... "Pah"...

"Are you wrong?"... "Pah"...

"Are you wrong?"... "Pah"...

"Are you wrong?"... "Pah"...

"Are you wrong?"... "Pah"...

Under Zhang Tie's crotch, after being slapped more than 10 times, that guy's face had become swollen. At the same time, his eyes were full of fear like looking at a ghost. Staring at Zhang Tie's firm and cruel expression, he definitely believed that as long as he didn't reply, he was doomed to be slapped to death here...

"Are you wrong?"

"Long..." That person's mouth had been so swollen that he could not even utter clearly.

Zhang Tie grinned, "I want your apology!"

"I...em long...I...em...solly...!"

Hearing his apology, Zhang Tie finally loosened his grasp and stood up from the ground. He then lowered his head and watched that person, "If you think that you're not wrong and want to fight me, I'll wait for you at any time. Duels are also okay. I'll accompany you anytime! However, if I hear those words from you next time, I'll kill you!"

Standing up, Zhang Tie glanced at his partners before wiping off the blood from the corners of his mouth and slowly walked towards his crate.

Seeing Zhang Tie coming towards them, the onlookers all gave way. Many people even cast admirable glances towards him. Zhang Tie came to the crate as he took a deep breath and forcefully picked it up from the ground before walking away towards the Songtao Pavilion.

Lying on the ground, that man's eyes were full of complaints and hatred...

Looking at Zhang Qingguo's expression, some of his partners faintly frowned their foreheads...

Chapter 298: Demons were Found

Translator: WQL Editor: - -

Zhang Tie returned to his room, No. 7, in Songtao Pavilion while taking cold breaths. He was taking cold breaths because of the pain from his wounds; however, at the same time, he revealed a slight smile.

After eating iron-body fruits for so long, Zhang Tie had not enjoyed the benefit of iron-body fruits in real battle until today. When Zhang Tie fought with that person just now, the benefits of the iron-body fruits truly showed and helped him win the fight. If there were no iron-body fruit, even though he could've won the battle, it would never have been that easy. Neither could he carry a crate of 400 to 500 kg back after such a fierce battle.

When he left a chance to that person and pinned that person's hand, he was betting that he could stand that person's strike instead of being heavily wounded, being killed, or being sent flying away. He guessed right. After eliminating that guy's advantage by fixing his foot, Zhang Tie won the battle. His confidence came from the iron-body fruit which formed when he dove in water in recent days. Now that the iron-body fruit could help him resist against greater pressure from sea water, it could definitely bring him a greater strike-resistant ability.

If he didn't beat that guy and prevent him from moving, to tell the truth, Zhang Tie wouldn't know the outcome of the fight. That guy moved so weirdly. If they were fighting in another place where there were no onlookers, that guy would actually find it impossible to lose the battle because of his weird moving skills.

That douchebag was first beaten by Zhang Tie's self-respect, then the iron-body fruit, and finally Zhang Tie.

Thankfully, Zhang Tie won his bet.

On the way back to the Songtao Pavilion, Zhang Tie recalled how he fought that guy and summed up the experience.

'If that guy had a sword, there might have been a different outcome. I wonder what he used to use. Certainly, if I have a javelin, that douchebag is doomed to die.' Generally speaking, both people had exerted their full strength. However, they didn't use all of their fighting skills. If various fighting skills were available, Zhang Tie was confident to finish that person in the shortest period.

Zhang Tie admired that person's weird and agile moving skills inside. He had determined to learn fundamental movements soon after he got enough clan contribution points. As he had not received systematic training, he was weak in moving skills. As long as he mastered the fundamental movements, he could definitely increase the power of iron-blood fist many times over.

After returning to his room, Zhang Tie put down his crate as he felt a sharp pain in his lungs.

Zhang Tie couldn't help but cough up some blood...

'That guy's punches are too heavy!' Zhang Tie knew that he had suffered internal injuries.

Zhang Tie went to the washroom to spit out the blood. He then cleaned himself up before going to the cultivation room.

The Xuan No. 7 cultivation room of Songtao Pavilion was not large as it only covered a bit more than 10 square meters. The room was paved with refreshing pine wood floor. As sun light was cast in the cultivation room for most of the daytime, the cultivation room would feel warm and very comfortable at night. Zhang Tie walked towards the cattail hassock and sat on it. Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Zhang Tie slowly adjusted his breathing as he closed his eyes and became relaxed enough to sense inside his body...

Two hours later, dusk fell. After studying the inside of his body, Zhang Tie felt that his wounds were recovering in way faster as he opened his eyes.

Benefiting from the effect of preliminary recovery body, after sunset, the healing and recovery ability of Zhang Tie started to accelerate from 215% to 430%. At this moment, Zhang Tie's recovering speed had reached 4 times that of normal people. That meant, it only took Zhang Tie 1 hour to reach the effect of 4 hours' recovery of most people.

Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile as he stood up from the cattail hassock. Finally, he witnessed the powerful combination of the preliminary recovery body and iron-body fruit.

Feeling a bit hungry, Zhang Tie left the Songtao Pavilion and entered the canteen of the Breaking Heaven Department.

The conditions in the canteen of the Breaking Heaven Department were better than those of the Zhixing Department. With the payment of 1 gold coin a day, Breaking Heaven Department provided various free buffets around the clock in order to meet different people's schedule. Therefore, one could enjoy food here at any time. Zhang Tie was very satisfied about this.

The preliminary recovery body could not only bring Zhang Tie a great physical recovery ability, a higher toxin immune ability, and a fatal wounds endurance ability, but also bring him a better appetite. Especially as he didn't eat lunch, in the evening Zhang Tie easily ate two men's worth of food. He didn't leave until he was almost full.

After exiting the canteen, Zhang Tie only walked less than 1 minute before he met a person and asked him about the location of the Qinyun Palace.

Qinyun Palace was definitely more boisterous in the evening than it was in the daytime. From afar, Zhang Tie had already seen the magnificent building. When he was close, he saw many senior brothers of Breaking Heaven Department accessing here. As Zhang Tie was too common, nobody even glanced at him.

After entering the main entrance of Breaking Heaven Department and passing a porch, Zhang Tie arrived at a brightly-lit hall. The moment he entered the hall, Zhang Tie was attracted by the four 10-m high lists.

Above the four lists were three golden words "Hidden Dragon List", closely below which were a line of smaller words, "Hidden Dragon Wealth List", "Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List", "Hidden Dragon Clan Contribution List" and "Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List". Each sub-list contained 50 names.

After taking a careful look, Zhang Tie found a pattern, namely, 7 of the top 10 in the "Hidden Dragon Wealth List" could be found in the top 10 of the "Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List" except for a small difference in ranks. Similarly, many people of the top 10 in the "Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List" occupied the top ranks in the "Hidden Dragon Clan Contribution List".

After a short while, Zhang Tie figured it out. Those who could enter the "Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List" were definitely elites who cultivated various professions in the Breaking Heaven Department, such as rune manufacturers and alchemists. As long as they had gained some achievements, it would be easy for them to make money. Likewise, those in the "Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List" were definitely able to complete highly difficult clan tasks and gain more clan contribution points.

What Zhang Tie had not imagined was that his cousin Zhang Su's name ranked 46 in the "Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List". No wonder Zhang Tie felt his cousin was a bit arrogant most of the time.

When Zhang Tie glanced over the 4 lists, the gate was thrown open and a senior brother rushed into the hall while waving something. He shouted so loudly that everybody could hear, "Urgent news, urgent news! Demons were found on the Hurricane Plateau in the west of Golan Empire, demons were found on the Hurricane Plateau in the west of Golan Empire!"

The moment he shouted out, the noisy hall suddenly became so quiet that even a needle falling onto the ground would've been heard.

10 seconds later, someone asked, "Are you serious?"

"This is the brief on the intelligence of the continent transmitted by the clan from Yiyang City. Two days ago, when a cavalry unit of a Celtic prefecture in the west of Golan Empire conducted their routine patrol along the border of the Hurricane Plateau, they met a small troop of demons. Finally, less than 1/10 of that cavalry unit returned. Because it was related to demons, Golan Empire has already reported this battle to the Waii Sub-Continent Human Central Countries Alliance. Additionally, yesterday, Golan Empire released the Demons Killing Order and opened the border between the Celtic Prefecture and Hurricane Plateau to all the pioneers, adventurers and fighters across the Waii Sub-continent."

The hall became quiet once again...

"This might mean nothing. Since the 2nd holy war between human beings and demons, small demon troops were always found slipping into human territory suddenly. The latest demon troops were found 27 years ago on the Waii Sub-continent..." Someone said loudly.

"There's one more possibility. The demons have already broken through the underground channel from the Dark Continent to the Hurricane Plateau. If so..."

A chilly sense was felt in the hall...

That person didn't talk any more while everybody else understood what he meant. If the demons truly had broken through the underground channel from the Dark Continent to the Hurricane Plateau, from now on, there would be more and more demons on the Hurricane Plateau. As soon as the demons prepared well, the demons' army would gather on the Hurricane Plateau, which meant the 3rd holy war between human beings and demons would arrive.

Each corps of demons included around 400,000 to 500,000 demon fighters. In each holy war, the demons would send out hundreds, or even thousands of corps while each demon corps was the nightmare of human kind!

Chapter 299: Strange Solution

Translator: WQL Editor: - -

While many people were still in the hall discussing the news of demons appearing on the Hurricane Plateau in the west of Golan Empire, Zhang Tie had already left the hall after skimming the brief intelligence on Waii Sub-continent sent from the clan in the recent months.

The brief intelligence could help those in the Breaking Heaven Department stay informed about the events around the continent so that the Breaking Heaven Department was not isolated from the outside world. After all, the Zhang clan was cultivating elites, not hermits, in the Breaking Heaven Department.

From the brief intelligence in the last month, Zhang Tie found the news that he was truly concerned about — after half a year, the war between Norman Empire and Sun Dynasty in Kalur Region had ended. After that, the Selindor family which ruled Kalur city officially declared the founding of a new country centered around Kalur city with Alexia Selindor officially became the Queen of Kalur.

The new country centered around Kalur City was a typical pocket kingdom. On the founding day, Kalur's Queen officially declared that they would remain neutral.

Zhang Tie knew that the reason that the Selindor family dared to declare the founding of a new country was because a powerful alchemist was backing their family. Neither Norman Empire nor Sun Dynasty would challenge two powerful enemies at the price of offending an alchemist with terrifying power.

The war in the Kalur region ceased, which was good news for Zhang Tie. Because, his friends in the Blackhot City and the Iron-Blood Camp didn't have to go to battle again. In contrast, the news about demons on the Hurricane Plateau in the west of Golan Empire was quite bad for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie thought that if it was just a small demon troop or the demons had truly found the tunnel towards the underground world of the Hurricane Plateau, it was not a good sign.

The demons were drawing closer, which means the holy war between humans and demons was drawing ever closer. Those big figures among human beings were also preparing for the coming holy war, making the sense of a coming chaotic world more obvious.

After skimming over the brief intelligence sent by the Zhang clan from outside, Zhang Tie knew that there was always a hidden flow on the Waii Sub-continent in the latest months. The tragedy case of the whole family of one senior of the Karol Federal Alchemists Association was killed had not been solved, and the King of the Leica Kingdom was assassinated. After that, because of the competition for the throne between the infantes and the princes, Leica Kingdom was instantly divided and troubled by civil war.

At the same time, some countries along the Niin River, which was known as the granary of the Human Corridor, were suffering from a rare plague of insects. As a result, all grain production suffered a sharp reduction this year.

Additionally, the previously safe airlines now continuously suffered from dangerous wild beasts' attacks. Some regular airlines even had to be abandoned. In this case, the airborne traffic connections between countries of the human corridor started to be fragile as many countries even started to dispatch war-time airships to join in the protection of regular airlines...

Zhang Tie went back to the Songtao Pavilion in a poor mood.

After entering his room, Zhang Tie didn't ignite the lamp in his room; instead he just meditated in the dark room for almost 10 minutes before silently entered the Castle of Black Iron.

When the dreamlike, colorful fog and the tender, bright light of Castle of Black Iron reappeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Tie gradually felt better.

By then, Castle of Black Iron had become more vigorous. Compared to that previous barren land, the inside of Castle of Black Iron had become larger with one more lake of 200,000 square meters. The lake was Zhang Tie's achievement in the latest months.

In the latest months, Zhang Tie had absorbed too much sea water into the Castle of Black Iron. After the sea water was converted into basic energy storage, it had become a huge figure that Zhang Tie had never imagined. Because of the sufficient amount of stored basic energy, the ambitious Heller used a part of the energy and built a freshwater lake that he had long planned, using the space and terrain renovation function of Castle of Black Iron.

At this moment, at the sight of that shimmering lake in the far, Zhang Tie felt a great difference as the whole Castle of Black Iron made him pleasant and opening.

After all, human beings liked water.

Zhang Tie then came to the side of the small tree and looked at the fruits on it.

The latest Leakless Fruit would become ripe in 3 days. With 2 more Leakless Fruits, Zhang Tie would ignite the 9th surge point. It would be more difficult for him to realize that compared to his previous promotions. He needed to ignite 5 more surge points to reach LV 7. It was as difficult as promoting from LV 1 to LV 5. The higher the level was, the more terrifying it would be to promote. Of course, one would also see a substantial growth of their strength and power at each higher level.

The latest iron-body fruit had become 95% ripe and could be eaten tomorrow. The only fruit that he could eat today was a Fruit of Redemption that formed because of the sand-scale fish that he set free in the fish market of the wharf today.

— Fruit of Redemption — gratitude from sand-scale fish; Fruit of Redemption has become ripe. Usage: Pick and directly eat it. Notice: The fruit cannot be taken out of the Castle of Black Iron. After twelve hours of having been picked off the tree, its energy and vitality will gradually decline.

— This fruit will allow Castle Lord to increase your cold-resistance in water and cold environments and sensitivity to water flow by 8% each.

— After eating it, Castle Lord will be able to increase your cold-resistance in water and cold environments and your sensitivity to water flow by 702% each in total compared to your earliest condition.

Zhang Tie picked it off and ate it. When he fully digested the fruit and absorbed its effect, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he found that Heller had been long standing under the stone stairs of the small tree, waiting for him to open his eyes.

"Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, welcome back to the Castle of Black Iron!" Opening his eyes, Zhang Tie found that Heller was bowing towards him.

The words from a person brought Zhang Tie a greater vanity than a line of written words; however, Zhang Tie faintly felt shameless to be called handsome and magnificent in front of Heller as the latter's face was too handsome that it even made Zhang Tie jealous.

Zhang Tie rubbed his face as he walked downstairs and said, "Hmm, Heller, from now on, you don't need to add the prefixes "handsome" and "magnificent", just call me Castle Lord!"

"As you will!" Heller faintly bent his body and looked pretty perfect while Zhang Tie mumbled, "Where are Edward, Aziz and Agan?"

"Because it's quite late, they've already gone to bed! I also realize that when Castle Lord entered..."

Zhang Tie then realized that Edward, Aziz, Agan and Heller were actually like normal people as they also needed food and sleep.

"As there's no night here, are you used to the living here?"

"Because this space is connected with that world outside through you, in order to make you comfortable, the time and environment here is synchronous to that outside. We also have night; but it becomes bright when Castle Lord enters, just like a house automatically turns on its light when its owner comes back!"

"Is that true?" Zhang Tie suddenly became interested, "Can you show me the night here?"

Having entering Castle of Black Iron for many times, he always saw daytime here, Zhang Tie didn't know what the night in Castle of Black Iron look like yet.

"Castle Lord wants to see the night here?"

"Yes!"

The moment Zhang Tie replied, without seeing what Heller did, the whole space in the Castle of Black Iron became as dark as outside. The colorful fog in the Castle of Black Iron suddenly became dark, only leaving a faint brilliance on a ball of fog which was suspended in the sky like the moons outside. Even the visibility was almost identical to outside.

His mouth slightly agape, Zhang Tie looked around the dark surroundings as he had not imagined that it could change so fast. However, Zhang Tie felt a sense of curiosity in the darkness of Castle of Black Iron.

"Is the night here always like this?"

"No, the brightness and visibility here is adjustable in the night. They totally depend on the moving trajectories of the 2 moons outside. When the 2 moons outside are full, the night here would be the brightest. When the double crescents arrive in the outside, the night here would be the darkest. The night here is the same as outside." Heller replied.

"Just remain synchronous with the world outside from today on. When I enter, no need to adjust it into daytime when it should be night. Just follow the rule of the nature!" Zhang Tie looked around as he said.

The night in Castle of Black Iron felt especially tranquil and beautiful.

"Fine! As you will!" Heller revealed a smile as he reminded Zhang Tie, "The variety of plant seeds here are not enough. The more complete the collection of plant seeds is in the Castle of Black Iron; the more aura value will be produced. Increasing aura value would be useful in many aspects in the future. If Castle Lord has any free time, will you bring in some plants or plant seeds. Wetland plants and aquatic plants that are suitable to live in fresh water would be preferred!"

"I will try my best!" Zhang Tie became a bit bashful as he replied. Heller, the steward was too responsible. Compared to him, Zhang Tie was really like a lazy owner who needed to be reminded all the time.

The moment Zhang Tie wanted to leave, Heller further reminded him which stopped him.

"Castle Lord, you must have been too busy recently, you might have forgotten about the vats of solution that you made using essential-energy reiki yeast and fruits. They've completed fermented for a while!"

"Argh!" Zhang Tie slapped his forehead as he'd almost forgotten about this.

Zhang Tie then rushed to the lab and opened one of the huge porcelain vat with curiosity...

A strange yet alluring fragrance drifted out of the top of the porcelain vat. In a instant, the whole lab was full of the smell.

Zhang Tie became stunned — 'What...what's this? It smells so good...'

Chapter 300: Strange Solution II

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

Last night, Zhang Tie slept very well. When he got up on the next morning, he felt fully energetic and had recovered his vitality again.

After getting up, Zhang Tie warmed up his body by stretching his limbs and doing some movements. Suddenly, he realized that most of his wounds had recovered overnight.

"Yi?"

Zhang Tie tried a few more times and found that the wounds truly had been recovered. Previously, Zhang Tie estimated that it would probably take him a couple of days to completely recover based on his preliminary recovery body, he hadn't imagined that he had almost fully recovered overnight. To be serious, the effect over last night was at least equal to two days of good rest.

Zhang Tie felt that he had mainly benefited from the 430% healing and recovery effect of his preliminary recovery body at night, therefore, Zhang Tie didn't think too much of it.

When cleaning up in the washroom, Zhang Tie looked at the juvenile with a high color in the mirror as he exposed his two rows of white teeth and grinned. He then encouraged himself loudly, "Come on, come on, come on!"

Each morning, Zhang Tie would encourage himself loudly in the mirror.

Until he started brushing teeth when he licked his lips did Zhang Tie feel the fragrance of the residue of the essential-energy Reika yeast that he drunk last night.

It was so good that Zhang Tie hadn't drunk such a marvelous thing before. It was like a beverage, but it tasted like alcohol although it wasn't. It tasted sour, sweet and cool. Although it was fermented by shattered fruits, its luster and taste were utterly different from the same type of yeast solution that he had drunk before at home.

It tasted more mellow and distant. As long as he had it in his mouth, he could feel the spirit and vitality in the liquid.

Zhang Tie couldn't describe how it felt. After drinking it, Zhang Tie only felt that all his pores had opened. He felt comfortable and refreshing all over.

Additionally, after drinking it, he also slept pretty well.

After cleaning up, the moment he thought about the taste of the solution, Zhang Tie started to drool. Patting his forehead, Zhang Tie swore, "Stupid, as long as I take a bottle, I can drink it at any time."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie found an aluminum military kettle. He then cleaned it with water. After that, he directly locked his consciousness on the solution in the big vat in the lab of the Castle of Black Iron.

All of a sudden, a trickle appeared in the kettle. Only after a short while, the whole kettle was full of the special liquid.

After shaking the kettle full of the solution in his hand, Zhang Tie smiled as he felt that he had the potential to be a magician. If he made a performance with this talent, he could definitely arise others' attention.

After doing this, Zhang Tie carried this kettle and lifted one crate that contained various javelins of different sizes before leaving his room. He went to the canteen to have breakfast first before going to the Long Wind Pearl Field.

"Zhang Tie, what's that crate for?" Senior Chen walked towards him and asked. As Zhang Tie had been in the Long Wind Pearl Field for several days, he had been familiar with the other workers there.

Senior Chen was both an old staff and a yaksha in the Pearl Field. He had been working in the Pearl Field for dozens of years. He was the very person who tested Zhang Tie's diving skills.

"Nothing serious, these are weapons. I customize them from the Items Department. When we finished work tonight, I will take these javelins to the town for sale. They might worth several gold coins!" Zhang Tie raved. Of course, these javelins were not for sale.

"Haha, you clever boy..." Senior Chen shook his head as he said, "There was also someone did this in the Breaking-Heavens Department before. They wanted to sell the items from the Items Department in town. However, things didn't proceed as they expect!"

"Why?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.

"Although the items in the Items Department are well produced, they are of high cost. Therefore, it's impossible for you to sell them at a higher price. Additionally, most of those people have been well prepared for coming to the island. Few people would buy weapons here. Additionally, there are weapon stores on the island. Don't you know that?"

"Argh!" Zhang Tie shouted loudly like having been greatly shocked before revealing a sad expression, "Do you mean that I suffer a great loss this time? I've spent too much for those items..."

"Heh heh, such pitfall isn't too bad, with your wit..." Senior Chen patted Zhang Tie's shoulder as he said like an experienced man.

When they talked, the other 3 yakshas from the Breaking-Heavens Department arrived. They were all Zhang Tie's senior brothers, who were respectively called Yang Yuankang, Zhang Lin, and Zhu Wenqiang. They were all level 7. With good diving skills, they were here to gain clan contribution points.

Among all the yakshas in the sea here, Zhang Tie's level was the lowest as he was only level 6. However, Zhang Tie's performance was really excellent.

When they saw Zhang Tie's big crate, they all wondered what it was for. After senior Chen explained what Zhang Tie had told him to them, all the other yakshas laughed.

"Junior brother, there's no need to do that. As long as you have good diving skills, there are many opportunities to make money in the sea!"

"Alright, come on, let's start work. After a while, those pearl divers and girls would go into the sea!" Senior Chen urged aside, "Just put your crate here. I will keep an eye on it for you!"

Zhang Tie then put down his crate before following them downstairs to the underground floor of the castle.

There was a huge underground space over 30 m wide under the castle. A huge dark blue seawater pond was inside, which was connected to the sea. Through this entrance, they could enter the sea.

After they reached the underground space, senior Chen lifted the steel fence under the water pond. Zhang Tie and the other yakshas started to take off their clothes. As they were all men, they didn't feel shameful to take off all of their clothes. After that, they started to put on diving trousers made of shark's skin and carry underwater weapons and equipment.

Yakshas always used water-shed daggers, common daggers, underwater crossbows and dragon-king forks. Each of these weapons was available. If one was confident in himself, it was also okay if he didn't carry any weapon, even his webbed feet. However, one must carry the cross-cloud arrow that was used to send a warning.

The cross-cloud arrow was like a crossbow cylinder, each of which was as long as 30 cm. As long as the one emerged from the water and shot out a loud bolt towards the sky, the bolt would release a ball of red fog when it rose above 70 m in the air. The red fog would last for a long time to remind everyone else to go back onto the bank as soon as possible as some dangerous magical beast or sea monster is coming underwater.

Although after hundreds of years' siege and hunting, there was basically no underwater magical beast or sea monster within the area of dozens of miles near the Hidden Dragon Island, they had to be prepared. In senior Chen's words, if a man-eating magical shark intruded in the Pearl Field, it would be a disaster.

Zhu Wenqiang got ready, "Brothers, I will go down first!", after saying that, Zhu Wenqiang dove into the water.

After Zhang Lin and Yang Yuankang, it was Zhang Tie's turn.

Before going down, Zhang Tie opened his kettle and drunk two mouths of the solution.

In a split second, Zhang Tie felt comfortable and refreshing all over.

"Zhang Tie, don't drink alcohol before going down. Although alcohol could warm up temporarily, it will harm your lungs if you stay long in water!" Seeing Zhang Tie drinking something, senior Chen hurriedly reminded him aside.

"It's not alcohol. I brewed something else!" Zhang Tie smiled as he covered the lid of the kettle.

Senior Chen took a deep breath and truly smelt no alcohol from Zhang Tie; instead, he smelt a weird fragrance. He then didn't say anything but cast a glance at Zhang Tie's aluminum military kettle out of curiosity.

After hanging his kettle together with his clothes, Zhang Tie didn't say anything as he directly dove into the seawater.

After a while, Zhang Tie caught up with the other yakshas. They then sped up underwater like mermaids as fast as running on the bank. In only a few minutes, they had already arrived at the Pearl Field and started to be responsible for the safety of different portions of the Pearl Field.

It took them more than 40 minutes to finish patrolling he Pearl Field. During this period, all the other 3 yakshas took a breath above water except for Zhang Tie. He kept moving underwater as easily as he did on land which allowed the other yakshas to admire his ability.

After patrolling in the water area of the Pearl Field, they swam towards the surrounding water areas of the Pearl Field and formed several cordons.

Arriving at the sea area outside the Pearl Field, Zhang Tie was like a bird in the sky as he had no constraints anymore. He then started to seek his prey.

After a short while, Zhang Tie had seen an over 4-m long man-eating white shark swimming towards him the moment it caught sight of him. Zhang Tie became 10 times agiler all of a sudden. Before the white shark drew close to him with its huge mouth, Zhang Tie had already reached its head. He stretched out his palm and slightly pressed onto its head while slightly releasing his iron-blood battle qi...

Without drawing any blood, the white shark had lost its life in a split second before it sunk to the bottom of the sea...

After an hour, three more white sharks were killed by Zhang Tie.

Knowing that he had formed the latest ripe trouble-reappearance fruit by killing this shark, Zhang Tie stopped.

...

Not knowing why, after finishing today's task, Zhang Tie felt that he was not that hungry as before. He felt that he consumed less physical strength today.

...

In the evening, Zhang Tie was sitting quietly with eyes closed in the cultivation cell of the Xuan No. 7 room, Songtao Pavilion, Breaking-Heavens Department.

In the trouble-reappearance situation of the latest trouble-reappearance fruit, some sharks were closely chasing after Zhang Tie with red eyes. Finally, they could only watch Zhang Tie swimming far away from them.

At this moment, Zhang Tie had already swum faster than sharks underwater even without the help of the Castle of Black Iron.

Zhang Tie dove into the underground entrance of the castle of the Long Wind Pearl Field again. Without caring about the sharks chasing after him, after he opened his crate, he started to practice his javelins from smaller to bigger ones in the unmanned castle...

In the next 2 days, Zhang Tie carried a big crate to the Long Wind Pearl Field every day and used the javelins in them to kill sea snakes or sharks in the sea to form new trouble-reappearance situations. Finally, he started to practice throwing javelins in the trouble-reappearance situations which were the same as the true environment.

When Zhang Tie held the javelins with normal size, he could clearly sense the conic locking state between him and the target. However, when he used very small javelins, he didn't have this sense.

However, when he held those javelins which were one size smaller than normal ones, the locking state became unstable. At the same time, that mysterious conic sensing form started to shake and transform. If Zhang Tie threw them, he could not ensure the precision.

Zhang Tie firstly used javelins that were one size smaller than normal javelins. Through constant throwing, the unstable state gradually became stable and finally became the same as that of the normal javelins.

When he had adapted to a certain size of javelins, he started to train himself with smaller javelins...

In this way, Zhang Tie made clan contribution points as yaksha while accumulating basic energy storage and stimulating the production of iron-body fruit in the sea in the daytime and practiced throwing javelins of different sizes in the trouble-reappearance situations in the evening to complete his first round of evolution of his ancestral bloodline. If he had free time, he would go to attend classes or learn General History of Human Beings, Overview of Human Culture on the Continents and Geography by himself which were the compulsory cultural courses that he had paid for.

Since he entered the Breaking-Heavens Department, Zhang Tie had become so busy every day that he didn't even have time to do other things except for work, practice, and study. However, Zhang Tie thought it was very fulfilling although being very busy and monotonous.

In this way, Zhang Tie had stayed in the Breaking-Heavens Department for over a month.

During the past month, Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su came here for Zhang Tie once. They only had a meal. After asking about Zhang Tie's recent condition and encouraging him, Zhang Su took a new task and left again.

In the past month, Zhang Tie ignited two more surge points and had already ignited 10 surge points on his spine.

During the same period, Zhang Tie drunk a kettle of that special solution every day. It was too delicious and he had become used to drinking it. No matter what, he had several hundreds kg of that solution in the Castle of Black Iron and could not drink them up in a short period.

Besides its taste, Zhang Tie didn't feel anything special about the solution.

For all the changes like gradually becoming energetic, not being easily hungry in the sea, his skin gradually becoming bright, clean and tender, his spiritual energy and battle qi naturally growing, his five senses becoming sharper and his saliva becoming sweeter... Zhang Tie owed them to his ignited surge points.

However, what was doomed to happen finally occurred.

That day, seeing that Zhang Tie would have a drink of the solution in the military kettle before going down in the sea, Yang Yuankang who had been increasingly familiar with Zhang Tie finally couldn't control his curiosity as he asked.

"Zhang Tie, what's inside? I see you drinking this every day."

"It's beverage brewed by myself, have a try?" Saying this, Zhang Tie had thrown the kettle to Yang Yuankang.

Taking Zhang Tie's kettle, Yang Yuankang firstly smelt it. In a sudden, a weird yet refreshing fragrance drifted from the opening of the kettle. Yang Yuankang's eyebrows instantly jumped twice. He hadn't smelt such a strange fragrance before. The moment he smelt it, he felt cool all over.

After putting it close to his mouth and engulfed two mouths with a sound of "glug glug", Yang Yuankang exclaimed, "Argh, what's this? How could it taste so good!"

"Let me try!" Zhang Lin took the kettle from Yang Yuankang and also engulfed two mouths without any hesitation. After that, Zhang Lin's eyes radiated shimmering lights.

Zhu Wenqiang who was beside Zhang Lin raised his nose. As he smelt that refreshing fragrance, he started to drool. Seeing Zhang Lin drink 4 mouthfuls of that solution, he finally couldn't stand it and grabbed Zhang Tie's kettle, "Let me have a try..."

With this taste, even Zhu Wenqiang's eyebrows raised.

Looking at senior Chen's sad look with frowning forehead, Zhang Tie couldn't stand but said, "senior Chen, would you like to try it?"

In that period, senior Chen's rheumatism was showing its effect once again. This disease was due to his long-time stay in the water and the seaside. He had eaten many kinds of medicine, yet none of them took effect. Therefore, he was tortured and looked bad every day. Even now, his knees were still aching heavily. Previously senior Chen didn't want to drink it; however, hearing Zhang Tie's suggestion and looking at the other guys' movements, senior Chen also became a bit curious, "Let me have a try..."

Zhang Tie's kettle was then passed to senior Chen. Zhu Wenqiang and the other guys didn't grab that with senior Chen considering his age. After a mouth, senior Chen was shocked. Then, under the widening eyes of the others who were forcefully their saliva, senior Chen bottomed up the kettle.

"Hmm, not bad!" Senior Chen smacked his lips while nodding his head.

Seeing the solution being cleaned, they all went into the seawater one by another. Although they felt it was good, none of them thought too much about that.

...

However, only after an hour, senior Chen found the aches in his knees were gradually disappearing while a wholly new sense of vitality and warmth seemed to spread inside his body. After being tortured by rheumatism all over for many years, it felt like a long-dried land welcoming sweet dew...

Senior Chen was full of pleasure inside, 'What's happening?'

...

Five hours later, Zhu Wenqiang felt a bit strange as he would definitely feel hungry and tired at this time in usual days, how could he not feel as hungry and as tired as he previously did?

Chapter 301: An Idea on Making Money

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

At sunset, the wind blew heavily while waves surged. The sea waves near the Pearl Field were over 3 m high.

Having stayed in the sea for the whole day, Zhang Tie popped his head out of the sea and moved along the undulating sea waves. Raising his head, Zhang Tie realized the weather today was a bit unusual as the sea waves were like walls in all directions that even blocked his view. After undulating with sea waves twice, Zhang Tie came to the peak of sea wave and could finally see clearly the situation of the castle in the far.

A tangerine safe lamp had been highly suspended at the top of the castle.

After seeing that lamp, Zhang Tie leisurely dove into the coming sea wave and slowly swam towards the castle, leaving a splash behind.

Although it was not tranquil 30 m under water, it was already able to be described as calm compared to that above sea.

After a short while, Zhang Tie had already sensed an underwater current. He then immediately dove into that underwater current and was carried along by it.

After increasing his sensitivity 9 times over, Zhang Tie had gradually grasped this underwater skill, which could help him easily sense the underwater currents in the surrounding sea and the general directions of them. Additionally, after entering the underwater current, he could effortlessly utilize the propulsive force of the underwater currents.

After entering the underwater current, Zhang Tie felt really cool. It was like flying in the sky like a bird.

With this skill, Zhang Tie could touch a splendid corner of this limitless, vast world.

There were numerous underwater currents in the sea, which had various causes, such as temperature, moisture and density in the sea, tide, season, submarine relief, weather above sea, geological movements, self-rotation of galaxy and the changing moon phase.

There were all sizes of underwater currents in the sea. Bigger ones might form ocean currents which could last several hundred thousand miles. There were also numerous smaller underwater currents, some of which were tributary of bigger underwater currents while the others would form and disappear at any time.

Those underwater currents of different sizes granted the sea with more tiers and mystique and constituted this splendid and mystical submarine world.

Zhang Tie felt those underwater currents in the sea were like wind on the land. It was like dashing in the wind. Although being in the sea, Zhang Tie who was wandering in the underwater current, felt as if he was a wolf running on the New Crescent Prairie.

After being sent to the place not far from the castle by this underwater current, Zhang Tie swiftly swam out of it and dove into the underground entrance of the castle after a short while.

With a sound of splash, after slightly patting the water, Zhang Tie had already jumped onto the bank of the pond.

When he landed, he found senior Chen, Zhu Wenqiang and the other buddies were all there. They had already put on their clothes. At the sight of Zhang Tie, they glanced at him at the same time with shimmering eyes.

"Oh, you've not left!" Zhang Tie took off his diving clothes as he walked towards the water pipe to clean the muck off his body.

As sea water had a high content of salt. If he didn't wash off the sea water, the salt particles would stick to his skin. Additionally, the sea water near the bottom was fishy, therefore, they had to take a bath before leaving every day.

Not until Zhang Tie finished bathing, washed his diving clothes, and suspend them on the line did Zhang Tie realize that all the others were still gazing at him with an obscure and weird expression. Senior Chen rubbed his beard using one hand without even blinking.

Although having exposed his naked butt many times in front of them, at the sight of their weird expression, Zhang Tie still felt his asshole being tightened as a layer of goosebumps appeared on his skin all over.

Zhang Tie then put on his clothes at the fastest speed ever and said, "Argh, won't you leave? I will leave then!"

"Wait a moment!" Senior Chen started the topic.

"What's up?"

"Can you bring me more of your brew tomorrow?" Senior Chen said.

"The more, the better!" Yang Yuankang added.

Zhang Tie swiftly thought it through in his mind twice before replied, "As there are only a small amount left, if you want, I can make more, but it will take longer. Were you waiting for me just for this?"

"That's it!" Senior Chen said as he rubbed his knees with a bashful expression, "I don't know why, but after drinking the thing you brought this morning, my rheumatism has been much better. Soon after I drink it, the ache on my knees has disappeared. I feel pretty comfortable all day long! Therefore, I was hoping you could bring me more tomorrow..."

"We felt strange too. After drinking that thing, we were much more energetic than before in the daytime and don't feel very hungry, even now!" Zhang Lin added with a dubious expression.

"I thought only I felt this way; however, I would never have imagined that everyone else is also in a much better condition than before!" Zhu Wenqiang said.

Yang Yuankang also nodded.

Zhang Tie was shocked by their words inside. Because he had improved very fast these days and had eaten a great amount of wild wolf seven-strength fruits before, he was always exceptionally energetic. Therefore, although he felt good these days, he didn't think too much about it. It was really out of his imagination that senior Chen, Yang Yuankang and the other guys could feel that good after eating the mutated yeast for the first time.

Receiving no reply, senior Chen thought Zhang Tie might be considering the cost.

"Zhang Tie, I don't know whether that thing is expensive or not. If it's too much for you, I will pay you for one bottle!" After drinking that thing, senior Chen felt so cool like a dried land finally welcoming sweet dew. He was too impressed by that thing. It felt much better than taking medicine. Therefore, senior Chen even wanted to buy some.

Senior Chen had spent too much trying to deal with his rheumatism over many years.

"Hah, senior Chen, what are you talking about, how could I take your money! Go get a bottle, I will bring one bottle for you!" Zhang Tie waved his hand as he said generously.

Senior Chen instantly revealed a big smile as the winkles on his swarthy face unfolded, "Fine, I will go get a bottle!"

After saying this, senior Chen immediately went upstairs for bottle.

"Zhang Tie, what the hell is that drink?" Zhu Wenqiang asked out of curiosity.

"They are brewed with various fruits in a secret method!"

Zhang Tie knew that it was the effect of the essential-energy reiki yeast. That brewing process was not sophisticated and had a low cost. Anyone could master it if they were told how.

However, if he told Zhu Wenqiang that that was yeast solution, they might try to brew it themselves. If they didn't get the same effect, they would definitely blame him for lying to them on purpose.

Therefore, he thought that he'd better tell them this was a secret knowledge so that they would know that it was easy to make it. This would save a lot of troubles for him in the future. No matter what, essential-energy reiki yeast was almost like a secret knowledge, neither did Zhang Tie plan to share it with the others.

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhu Wenqiang didn't look strange; instead, they all looked like they'd been expecting it. Because it was a secret knowledge, the other guys then felt embarrassed about asking for the brewing process.

When they went upstairs, senior Chen had fetched a delicate silver-gilt flagon which could contain over 300 ml.

After taking that flagon and promising that he would bring more solution for them the next day, Zhang Tie then left the Long Wind Pearl Field.

As usual, after leaving the Long Wind Pearl Field, Zhang Tie had arrived at the fish market near the wharf and spent less than 10 silver coins to buy all the sand-scale fish in the fish market and set them free in the sea.

In the recent months, Zhang Tie almost came here every day. As a result, all the fish vendors had become familiar with him. Additionally, as Zhang Tie was generous and didn't bargain, many vendors would like to keep the sand-scale fish for Zhang Tie every day.

When Zhang Tie threw the last barrel of sand-scale fish into the sea and watched them returning to the sea jubilantly, Zhang Tie had formed an indescribable pleasure inside. Previously, he set the fish free to eat fruits, now it had gradually become an enjoyment for Zhang Tie to set free fish.

This was an incomparable enjoyment.

Each time, Zhang Tie could clearly feel the fish's cheers of freedom, pleasure of rebirth and affection towards life and the sea when they returned to the sea. Being affected by such a feeling, Zhang Tie felt that each time he set free fish, he was setting free a part of himself in a weird sense.

Some small sand-scale fish didn't escape away at once when they returned to the sea; instead, they formed a circle and kept rotating, seemingly expressing their gratitude to Zhang Tie, which really amazed him.

"Wuh? I never could've imagined these small things could circle in the sea!"

A voice drifted in his ear from aside. Zhang Tie then turned his head and found that an old man had already been squatting beside him.

The old man seemed like a beggar who was shabbily dressed, with disordered hair, and a beard on a dirty face from which Zhang Tie could not even identify his real age.

"Brat, why these fish are circling in the sea?" The old beggar fixed his eyes on Zhang Tie and asked seriously.

Hearing this question, Zhang Tie became stunned as he didn't know how to answer him. After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie replied, "They might be happy about going back home soon!"

"Going back home?" Hearing Zhang Tie's explanation, the old beggar's bright eyes became watery.

"Going back home...going back home...going back home, where's my home? Argh, why don't I have a home...fish have a home, why don't I have a home? How could I not even match...where's my home? I couldn't remember my home, argh..." the old beggar started to shriek painfully while hugging his head. After that, he stood up and turned back before ran away like a mad...

'There might be something wrong with this old beggar's mind. What a poor man!' Zhang Tie shook his head as he went back to the fish market to give the barrel to the vendor.

After leaving the wharf, Zhang Tie didn't return to the Hidden Dragon Palace; instead, he wandered towards the White Dragon Town.

When he arrived at the White Dragon Town, it had been completely dark.

Compared to the other towns around the Dragon Cave, White Dragon Town looked more boisterous as about half of the people on the island lived here.

Zhang Tie had not imagined that his solution could be noticed by others today. Now that it happened, he needed to deal with the aftermath.

As he lived in Songtao Pavilion of Breaking Heaven Department, he could not hide too many things in his room. If they went to see his solution in his room, he could not move them out of nothing. If so, the secret of Castle of Black Iron would expose sooner or later.

As a thoughtful man, of course Zhang Tie would notice and patch up the loophole, now that he brewed the solution himself, he should at least pretend to have done that. No matter what, as he had been in the Hidden Dragon Palace for so long, nobody would know when he brewed a vat of solution.

After taking a round in the White Dragon Town, Zhang Tie already had a plan.

He went to the carpenter's shop in the White Dragon Town and bought a portable wooden case at the price of 2 silver coins before bought a terrine which could contain 20-30 kg of solution in a porcelain store at the price of over 10 copper coins. Then, he came to a remote place and put the terrine into the wooden case before returned to the Hidden Dragon Palace with that wooden case.

It seemed easier for him to put the terrine into the Castle of Black Iron; however, Zhang Tie didn't want to expose his real ability in a place full of powerhouses. Therefore, he needed to pay special attention to all details.

What if it was seen by someone else when he made the terrine disappear?

As details determine success or failure, it was not bad to be a bit careful. It was also reasonable if he put the terrine into the wooden case. Even if it was noticed by people from Hidden Dragon Palace, they would not see through the wooden case either.

When Zhang Tie was going to leave the White Dragon Town, the roadside gate was suddenly opened while a person was carried and thrown out by some strong servants.

"Pah, you jerk beggar, this is the Zhao Mansion in White Dragon Town. It is not your home. Don't come here to seek for your relatives. I've seen so many liars like you. Our lord would never have such a relative. Roll out of here!"

A steward pointed at that man being thrown out and swore him. After that, the steward glared at those servants, "What were you doing just now? Are you blind? You didn't even know when this jerk beggar came in. This jerk said Zhao Mansion was his home and swaggered into the west bedroom before being noticed by a servant girl. Half of your salary this month will be deducted!"

The servants became so depressed. After the steward entered the Mansion, two servants were so furious that they directly rushed towards that old beggar who was lying on the ground and wanted to beat him again before being hurriedly stopped by the other two servants.

"Easy, this old beggar is already so thin, if he was beaten to death by you outside the gate, it would be unfortunate and troublesome!"

"Damn, we've been here for a whole day, yet we didn't see how he entered!" A servant kept swearing and finally stopped beating that old beggar.

"I've told you before that the dog door over there is too big; we need to make it smaller!"

The servants then walked into the gate before shutting it, making a loud sound, "bang".

Leaving that old beggar sitting alone on the street before the gate of Zhao Mansion. He looked so painful that he pulled his hair and mumbled, "Where's my home...Isn't my home Zhao Mansion? How could my family members disappear...argh!"

Zhang Tie saw what happened in front of his eyes. He had not imagined that he could meet that old beggar here.

Seeing that old beggar sitting on the street alone, being mad, not knowing where his home was, Zhang Tie felt like crying inside as he walked towards him and pulled out his money purse and gave them to the old man. They were 2 gold coins, dozens of silver coins and over 10 copper coins in total.

At the beginning, Zhang Tie wanted to pull out a part of the spare money; however, seeing his poor air, Zhang Tie directly squatted in front of that old beggar and put his money purse onto the old beggar's hand.

Even though the old beggar was holding the money purse, he was still unconscious as he mumbled there. Watching that old beggar, Zhang Tie directly foisted his money purse into his pocket.

After doing this, Zhang Tie stood up as he sighed inside. With another two glances at him, Zhang Tie returned to the Hidden Dragon Palace.

After returning to the Xuan No. 7 room of Hidden Dragon Palace, Zhang Tie opened the wooden case and took out of the terrine. He washed the terrine with water before he lugged it into the cultivation room. While focusing on his concentration, Zhang Tie soon filled the 2/3 of the terrine through a spring in the air in more than 10 seconds.

After smelling the refreshing fragrance in the new terrine, Zhang Tie patted his hands as he covered the lid of the terrine. Now he could explain it to his friends that the solution in the terrine was brewed himself since he came to the Hidden Dragon Palace. He had drunk 1/3 and left 2/3 inside.

After filling the flagon of senior Chen and his own kettle, Zhang Tie fixed his eyes onto the liquid while a thought suddenly flashed across his mind, 'Could I make money with this? If I can make money with this, I would not have to worry about living in the Hidden Dragon Palace from then on! Perhaps...I can have a try... Coincidentally, senior Chen and the other guys could test its effect...'

Chapter 302: Storm

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

Since midnight, it had been raining heavily. The wind whipped through the pine woods outside the Songtao Pavilion, making a horrible sound.

The following morning, Zhang Tie got up early. After walking out of the Songtao Pavilion, he found the wind and rain was even heavier than it had been yesterday. The bean-sized rain drops that landed on him were quite painful. Some pine trees in the Breaking Heaven Department were broken while most of them were bent over by heavy wind and fiercely resisting the strong storm.

He had seen the omen of this storm last night; however, Zhang Tie had not imagined it could be that heavy.

After eating breakfast, Zhang Tie put on a raincoat and quickly arrived at the Long Wind Pearl Field.

The waves on the pearl field looked extremely fierce. When the huge waves, greater than 10 m in height, lashed onto the reefs and the precipice on the seaside, they caused loud sounds. The whole world seemed to be shaking from the fury of the sea.

Arriving at the seaside, Zhang Tie felt that he was almost blown away by the heavy storm like a kite. The sprays caused by the huge waves under the castle of the Long Wind Pearl Field drifted dozens of meters high in the air and fell onto Zhang Tie's face; the rain tasted weirdly fishy.

The moment he entered the castle, Zhang Tie saw senior Chen.

"Come on in, it's raining heavily outside!" Standing outside the door of a room on the first floor of the castle, senior Chen waved his hand towards Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then hurriedly walked towards him.

When Zhang Tie was near the door, senior Chen glanced over Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then patted a place under the raincoat as he nodded towards senior Chen. Senior Chen then revealed a big smile as he pulled Zhang Tie in.

The moment they entered the room, the other guys in the room instantly cast their glances at Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was also familiar with the other guys as they were all yakshas in the sea of Long Wind Pearl Field. The youngest one among them was over 40 years old while the eldest one was over 60.

"These old buddies are suffering the same trouble as me. They are all troubled by rheumatism and arthritis at such an age. Especially yakshas in the sea like me, as we have to stay in the water all the year round, once the cold qi enters our body, we'll have to suffer from diseases when it becomes wet outside! These buddies have not slept well last night." Senior Chen explained to Zhang Tie, "These senior buddies heard that the solution you brew was marvelous, they are especially eager to give it a try!"

"No problem!" Zhang Tie nodded, "But I've not taken too much today, besides the bottle for you, I've only got one additional bottle!"

"No problem, I will share my bottle with buddies and see whether it truly has an effect!" Senior Chen generously said.

After hanging up his raincoat, Zhang Tie took out his kettle and the flagon. Senior Chen then found several cups and made 100 ml of that solution for each one according to the content that he drunk yesterday.

Zhang Tie's aluminum military kettle was just enough for five people's cups.

When he poured it out, all the others in the room had surrounded him. Watching the golden and pale green luster of the solution which had a stronger smell than water, they all widened their eyes.

"Argh, how could it smell so good!"

Not only the luster which made them excited, when they smelt the fragrance of that solution, they instantly felt cool all over and dripping saliva out of their mouths.

The moment senior Chen filled the cups, the others had carefully taken the cups and couldn't wait to bottom up the solution. After that, they sat quietly in the room and tried to sense the feeling of that solution spreading across their body.

They all took this thing as a medicine; however, it tasted much better than all the other medicines that they had tried. Therefore, they were all shocked about it.

Senior Chen also had a cup. After that, senior Chen even cleaned his cup with fresh water before drinking the fresh water.

"The wind and waves are too heavy today. They can't pick pearls today; so, we can have a day off!"

When they were waiting for the effect of the solution, senior Chen told Zhang Tie.

"What about my clan contribution points today?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.

"Of course, you'll still earn them!"

Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. As long as he stayed here for several more weeks, he would be able to get enough clan contribution points for all the compulsory courses that he needed to learn. Each compulsory course required 70 clan contribution points.

— Fundamental movements, fundamental swordsmanship, shield defense skill, preliminary archery, flying skill and horsemanship. The six courses required 420 clan contribution points in total. As he could gain 60 clan contribution points a week here, he planned to work 2 months, namely 9 weeks here for 540 clan contribution points so as to finish these fundamental compulsory courses.　

Zhang Tie had not forgotten those weird movements of Zhang Qingguo.

Zhang Lin, Zhu Wenqiang and Yang Yuankang also arrived at this moment. When they caught sight of that empty kettle, they became a bit disappointed. However, looking at the others who were waiting for the effect of the solution, they became curious too.

Yesterday, as only senior Chen drunk that solution, it was uncertain whether it was the effect of the solution that relieved senior Chen's disease. However, this time, the other 5 people drank the solution. If the effect reappeared on them, it would be great.

As it was storming heavily outside, they had nothing to do inside. They then started to brag and chat in the room to kill time.

One hour soon passed...

"Argh, I seem feel warm inside. It starts to spread across my body..." A yaksha in the sea shouted.

"I feel it too. It was aching just now. But it's relieving now!"

"Argh, me too. Before drinking that, my two shoulders felt being pinched by pliers. But not they are becoming relaxed..."

"My knees are also recovering. That's too marvelous, just like what senior Chen said!"

The room started to be boisterous as the yakshas all cast their glances towards the flagon of senior Chen.

Zhu Wenqiang, Zhang Lin, and Yang Yuankang then stared at Zhang Tie with shocked expressions. It turned out Zhang Tie's solution could really relieve diseases, it was even pretty effective. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. How could a small cup of solution relieve the diseases that they had suffered many years?

What the hell? The same thing could cure diseases for someone and make the others feel energetic. How could it be that marvelous? Zhu Wenqiang, Zhang Lin, and Yang Yuankang looked at Zhang Tie in a new light.

"Senior Chen, come on, give me some more!" A 50 year-old yaksha urged with a bashful expression.

Hearing his request, senior Chen instantly pulled his flagon back in fear of being stolen, "No more, most of Zhang Tie's solution has been drunk by all of you; this is mine!"

After exchanging glances with each other, the yakshas then focused their eyes onto Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie then stretched out his hands, "I only brought this today!"

"Do you have more?"

"I have some more in my room, but not too much!"

"Can... can you sell some to us?" That yaksha previously wanted Zhang Tie to gift some to them, yet he felt bashful to ask for that for free, therefore, he expressed his intention to buy it.

"Haha, I've met these old buddies many times. Don't talk about money, it would harm our friendship. Each of you can fetch a bottle, I will gift a bottle to each of you!"

Having not expected that his solution had such a great potential in the market by being that effective in curing diseases, Zhang Tie became really thrilled inside. After working as an assistant in Donder's grocery store, Zhang Tie knew what public praise meant. He needed them to advertise for his solution, therefore, he became generous.

"Zhang Tie...can you..." Zhu Wenqiang scratched his head with a bashful expression.

"Hehe, I live in the Xuan No. 7 room of Songtao Pavilion. When I come back, you can take your bottles and go to find me there. I will gift one bottle to each of you three too!" Zhang said generously.

Zhu Wenqiang, Zhang Lin and Yang Yuankang all revealed a big smile. Zhang Tie's solution really deeply impressed them.

Right then, the girls from Zhixing Department arrived.

Previously, Zhang Tie arrived earlier than them and stayed in the sea all day round; therefore, these girls had no chance to see him in the Pearl Field at all. They didn't know that Zhang Tie was a yaksha in the sea either.

Today, when they came to the Pearl Field, the girls were told that they might face danger if they dove in the sea today due to the heavy storm. Therefore, they didn't need to pick up pearls today. They then planned to take a rest in the castle and take shelter from rain before returning. They had not expected to encounter Zhang Tie here. After having not seen Zhang Tie for 2 months, the girls were even slightly shocked at the sight of Zhang Tie.

With a bad temper, the moment Du Yuhan caught sight of Zhang Tie's smile, she instantly raised her eyebrows and asked straightforwardly, "What are you here for?"

"Hehe, I'm here to have a look at you. It's almost been 2 months, the interest of the debt that you owe me almost becomes 18 gold coins. Plus the cost, each of you owe me almost 108 gold coins. I want to see when you will pay up!" Zhang Tie made a grimace as he started a joke with those girls.

The moment they heard the debt, those girls all looked bitter. The 108 gold coins was simply a huge amount of money for those girls who had only just started to attempt to make money for themselves. Additionally, the interest of these huge amount of money will rise 10% per month. Many of them could not even pay off the interest per month.

"We will pay off the debt..." Liu Shasha replied in a fragile voice.

"It's okay if you cannot pay off the debt. As long as you can accomplish the designated tasks, you can also deduct half of you debt!" Zhang Tie moved his "evil" eyes onto Liu Shasha.

The moment she recalled the "disgusting task" that should be accomplished by mouth, Liu Shasha's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't even dare to look at Zhang Tie; instead, she looked like a flurried rabbit who hurriedly hid behind another girl.

Not until this moment did those girls who had bet with Zhang Tie know what it meant by lifting a stone and dropping it onto one's feet. At the beginning, they forced Zhang Tie to sign the agreement with them as they thought they could deal with this jerk in this way. However, they had never expected that they were dealt with by this douchebag.

After teasing these little girls, Zhang Tie burst out laughter as he returned to the room where senior Chen and the other buddies stayed. As yakshas in the sea, if they wanted to gain the clan contribution points, even though they didn't need to dive in the sea, they had to stay in the castle on duty in case of emergencies.

Those girls seemed having not realized why Zhang Tie acted that way in the castle of the Long Wind Pearl Field.

After 10 minutes, while Zhang Tie was cracking melon seeds in the room and listening to funny stories of the other yakshas, a girl rushed in with a panicked, pale face.

"Du Yuhan was rolled away by the waves..."

Hearing the words, Zhang Tie instantly sprung up and dashed outside like a wind...

Chapter 303: Yaksha on the Waves

Translator: WQL Editor: KLKL

Facing the wuthering wind and rain, Zhang Tie immediately rushed out of the room, exited the castle and swiftly arrived at the Pearl Field.

Looking at the fierce waves, some girls were hugging each other on a mountainous path beside the Pearl Field. They were shivering while tears were covering their faces. In front of the power of the sea, some girls' impulsion caused an unexpected result.

"Where's she?" Although it was a short distance, Zhang Tie was covered in rain.

With tears in her eyes, Lyu Shasha pointed at the reef in afar where the waves were most fierce. Zhang Tie then rushed towards where she pointed without any pause. He didn't even take off his clothes. Before those girls responded, he had already jumped into the sea from the reef.

The moment Zhang Tie jumped in, a huge wave had arrived, which caused a spray of a few dozen meters high near the reef. When the spray declined, Zhang Tie had disappeared.

The decisive image of Zhang Tie deeply impressed those girls which will forever remain in the hearts of the girls for the rest of their lives.

Senior Chen and the other yakshas in the sea also followed closely.

"Where's Zhang Tie?" Senior Chen changed his face as Zhang Tie was no where to be found.

"Zhang Tie...Zhang Tie jumped in!' A girl pointed at that reef from where Zhang Tie jumped into the sea.

"Senior Chen, take these girls back. We'll take a look in the sea!" A yaksha of the Pearl Field told senior Chen at once.

When senior Chen brought the girls back, a girl suddenly pointed at the sea, "Argh...Zhang Tie!"

They then looked along the direction the girl pointed and caught sight of Zhang Tie.　

At this very moment, Zhang Tie was really like a yaksha on the waves in the legend as he was stepping on the huge waves of over 10 meters in height. He jumped from one wave peak to another. Sometimes, he would sink in; sometimes, he would fly onto a wave peak in order to see clearly. He continued to jump and strive bravely in huge waves...

The heaven-breaking waves were like rolling ladder under Zhang Tie's feet. Zhang Tie stepped on the wave peaks as steadily as rushing on smooth land like a spirit in the sea, causing snow-white sprays.

Watching Zhang Tie risked his life to seek for Du Yuhan, Lyu Shasha and the other girls all felt a burning heat and started to burst into tears.

Senior Chen and the other yakshas were really stunned about what they saw.

"Yaksha on the waves. Each step is so elegant...it's really yaksha on the waves..." A yaksha in the sea of the Pearl Field had forgotten what to do, while he was watching Zhang Tie who was jumping among the huge waves in afar.

"Yaksha on the waves, water doesn't reach knees. It's true..." Senior Chen was also shocked. In the legend of that the elders told in the Pearl Field, only those yakshas in the sea who had been favored by the sea god could perform such a marvellous skill in the sea.

The sea with surging and rolling waves was like a shallow small ditch under Zhang Tie's feet. Before the seawater reached his knees, he would have already stridden one feet out. He kept running among the surging waves...

Zhang Tie's image at this moment was definitely a rare painting for the other yakshas in the sea who were going to jump into the sea.

"Wait for Zhang Tie to come back..." A yaksha took a deep breath, "No matter what, Zhang Tie would get her out of the there!"

He didn't mean to give up but reverence——the reverence and belief to a yaksha on the waves from a yaksha in the sea who had been working in the sea for many years.

At this very moment, Zhang Tie didn't know how amazing he was. He only felt a constantly rolling strength from the seawater. He felt that he was able to move freely on the sea with that strength. Therefore, he did it automatically.

Among the surging waves in afar, there seemed to be a hand stretched out of the sea. Although it was just a second, Zhang Tie still caught it with his eyes.

Zhang Tie then jumped off the wave and dived into the sea. The moment he opened his space tunnel, he started to shoot towards there like a bolt.

That was truly Du Yuhan. She had been wrapped by long seaweeds along with the huge waves. She was dragged underwater by seawater and was in half coma.

After he arrived, Zhang Tie instantly hugged Du Yuhan and kissed her while transferring air into her mouth from the Castle of Black Iron. After that, he tore off the seaweeds that surrounded Du Yuhan.

Zhang Tie hugged Du Yuhan with one hand as he transferred air to her, mouth to mouth. Then, he rapidly dived towards the bay of the Pearl Field. After a short while, his presence was seen on the huge waves near the bay.

"Argh, Zhang Tie is back..."After they saw Zhang Tie's shadow and the person he was carrying, everybody let out a sigh.

When they ran to the bay to check the situation of Du Yuhan, they were all dumbfounded.

All the girls' faces blushed while senior Chen and the other yashas revealed obscure smirks.

Du Yuhan was like an octopus, her arms wrapped tightly around Zhang Tie's neck, while her legs naturally wrapped around Zhang Tie's waist. Besides, she forcefully sucked onto Zhang Tie's mouth,as if there was delicious food in his mouth.

This was just a natural response of a drowning person as if she grabbed a floating stick of straw to take in fresh air. Being unconscious, Du Yuhan didn't even know what she was doing.

As Zhang Tie's mouth and tongue were tightly sucked by Du Yuhan, he could not speak. Therefore, he could only tell the other girls to quickly move Du Yuhan away from him. As she was sucking so forcefully, Zhang Tie even felt a pain on the root of his tongue.

"Yuhan, Yuhan..." Lyu Shasha and a girl called Qu Liangying walked over. One forcefully patted her back, while the other separated Du Yuhan's arms from Zhang Tie's neck.

For those girls, Zhang Tie and Du Yuhan' s posture were so embarrassing.

Because Du Yuhan could pick up pearls in the sea, she excelled in diving in the sea. When Zhang Tie found her, she was just became breathless and fainted. After Zhang Tie passed on some air to her several times and being patted and called by the other girls, she finally woke up.

After she woke up, Du Yuhan saw Zhang Tie at her first sight who also had his eyes fixed on her. Their eyelashes could almost touch each others. Because they were too close to each other, Du Yuhan could not recognize the person who was in front of her. Meanwhile, she realized that she was still kissing this person while a soft thing was in her mouth, which she was forcefully sucking greedily and didn't feel like separating with.

Soon after, Du Yuhan noticed their ambiguous gesture as she was wrapping his neck with her arms and riding his waist.

Being greatly shocked, Du Yuhan made a shrill shriek as she immediately jumped off Zhang Tie's body. Because she was too nervous, she even bit Zhang Tie's tongue before she left.

Closely followed by Zhang Tie's shrill shriek, who then sprung up from the ground...

...

"Bullsh*t!" A manager of the Pearl Field was blaming the girls whose clothes had been dried around fire and were standing there, being upset, "Zhang Tie was here for your debt? Then you little girls wanted to pick up pearls in this weather so as to make money instead of apologizing to him? Who told you Zhang Tie was here for your debt?"

"He told us!" A girl justified softly.

"Zhang Tie is a yaksha in the sea of the Long Wind Pearl Field. In the past month, he had been here everyday so as to drive away the dangerous living beings under water. When you were picking up pearls, he was vigilant in the outer sea area for your safety. Each day he was here one hour earlier than all of you and left after you!"

The manager then let out a sign as he looked at those girls from Zhixing Department, "Normally, you could not see him; but due to the heavy storm today, you were unable to pick up pearls, therefore, he was here for a rest in the castle! Coincidentally, you encountered him here! If he wanted you to pay off the debt, he had long asked for that. No need to wait until today!"

"Argh!" All the girls of Zhixing Department covered their mouths with their hands as they exchanged glances with each other. They had not imagined that the person that they hated most could have protected them for such a long time in the dark.

"If it was not for Zhang Tie today, you might have been dead. Girls, don't be that impulsive in the future!" The manager told Du Yuhan in a serious way.

Du Yuhan had a mixed mood. The moment she thought back of how she kissed Zhang Tie after being saved out of there by him, Du Yuhan felt feverish on her face as she had a strange feeling towards Zhang Tie.

'Humph, that bastard. How could I have given him my first kiss...they said that the bastard instantly jumped into the huge waves after knowing that I was drown. Even Shasha and the other girls were too moved that they even cried...' The girl wanted to blame him yet she didn't really wanted to. ' 'Did I overly bit him. I wonder whether if he is still hurting...'
