Volume Four, Volume 29, Chapter 15, Thunderbolt Means
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Tie opened his eyes.＋＋＋＋
Zhang Tie looked at the earth element crystal in his hand that had completely lost its golden luster and started to reveal a pale milk-like background. He shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. He ended his meditation and fell down. Then the one on his hand had already
The useless crystal was placed on the table in the room.
On the table, seven rows of earth element crystals were placed neatly, with three in each row. At this time, all the earth element crystals had become like the one in Zhang Tie's hand, from brilliant to dull, in the crystals
The pure earth element has been drained out, and the earth element crystal at this time is like an empty bottle left behind after drinking wine, it has no effect.
Zhang Tie raised his head and glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock in the room.
——December 29.
Unknowingly, I have been practicing in the underground palace for a month and a half this time, and the twenty-one earth element crystals in my hand are also consumed very quickly. The twenty-one earth element crystals have not even lasted two months.
It's already exhausted. This is because I am only using a quarter of my ability to extract the earth elements from the crystals. If I use all my abilities, these twenty-one earth element crystals will not be enough for me to consume for two weeks.
This training also allowed Zhang Tie to fully understand the extremely difficult and long road of condensing the second chakra and advancing to become an Earth Knight.
Because of the relationship between "Pearl's Divine Arithmetic" and the glorious fruit he just ate that almost doubled his mental power again, Zhang Tie can now focus on four things, allowing his mental power to transform in the elemental world.
Using four hands to capture those earth element crystals, the speed of its cultivation has been increased four times, but that's it, in this month and a half of cultivation, the progress of the second chakra of the "Wu Jian Peng King Sutra"
, only about one-sixth of the first scale has been completed.
Zhang Tie estimated that if he excluded the increase in the cultivation effect brought by the twenty-one Earth Element Crystals and continued to practice in his current state, it would take at least eleven months to advance to Black Iron.
The realm of knights with two scales.
What does this mean? It means that in the current state, if you want to condense the second earth chakra in the "Wu Jian Peng King Sutra", you will have to practice hard for 330 years.
This is still the result of being able to focus on four things, and if you still practice at the same speed as one thing and one thing. If you practice until you die, you will use up the knight's lifespan of about 400 years. Even if you live to 500 years old, you will still only
He can circle within the realm of the Black Iron Knight and the Hundred Scales. He will never be able to advance to the level of the Earth Knight for the rest of his life.
It is very difficult for the black iron knight to condense the second chakra. For every black iron knight, this is a long journey, and the second earth chakra in the emperor-level secret book "Wu Jian Peng King Sutra"
The complexity and hugeness made this difficulty increase many times. The level of the earth knight standing in front of Zhang Tie became a peak reaching into the sky.
It took 330 years of hard training to advance to the Earth Knight in a state of single-mindedness and four-purpose use, while it took more than 1,300 years of hard work to advance in a single-purpose state. Zhang Tie was completely speechless about this result. He knew that in ancient times
At that time, in those splendid civilizations, people's cultivation could not be so hard. There must be more ways to speed up cultivation in that era - sufficient and luxurious high-quality earth crystals, even more
A powerful Yuan Gathering Formation, or some more secret techniques and tools to assist practice. Only under the combined effect of these conditions, the practitioners of the knight realm of that era could continuously improve their realm and advance one by one.
In a higher realm, otherwise, there would not be any secret books like the "Wu Jian Peng King Jing" and "Broken Sun Jing" left.
In this era, all the resources that allow knights to speed up their training have become scarce. Therefore, in this era, the core tasks and issues of knight training are to obtain and monopolize more resources that can speed up the concentration of their own chakras.
Cultivation resources, only in this way can most knights be able to advance again and set foot in higher fields in their lifetime.
The people who come after are following in the footsteps of their predecessors, and the changes in the cultivation environment have made it impossible for these latecomers in this era to walk as easily as their predecessors.
Zhang Tie, who was staying at his hotel, came to the open space outside the room and slowly performed a set of iron-blooded fists with a slow and solemn rhythm, moving his muscles, bones, and blood.
At this time, the iron-blooded divine fist took on a completely different state in Zhang Tie's hand. It had become anode and yin, turning from hard to soft. In the light wind and light clouds, it contained terrifying power.
, Although Zhang Tie's movements were slow, the air in the entire underground palace was moved by him, and small cyclones were naturally formed around him. The cyclones were like vortices driven by ocean currents, and they followed him.
Following Zhang Tie's movements, they appear one by one and dissipate one by one, arising and disappearing all the time.
Zhang Tieren was moving with the intention of his fist, but his mind was seriously thinking about his future path of cultivation, sorting out the gains and insights from this practice.
At this time, Zhang Tie knew very well what problems and solutions he had to face. From the current point of view, the most direct and powerful thing that can speed up his cultivation is the Earth Element Crystal. As long as he can obtain sufficient high-quality Earth Element Crystal,
Then, the speed of condensing the second chakra by oneself can be greatly accelerated. However, things like earth element crystals are so rare that the Norman Empire only gave out 20 as gifts in the Transmutation Dictionary, which is already considered important.
According to the ritual, the elders of Huaiyuantang can allocate 4 crystals every year. This amount of earth crystals is a drop in the bucket for me, and it is not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth. Its effect is very limited.
It seems that I will have to pay more attention to the Earth Element Crystal in the future.
In addition to the Earth Element Crystal, the second way for me to improve my cultivation speed is to continue the multi-tasking practice of "Pearl Heart Arithmetic". However, my current state of multi-tasking is already the limit of my current ability. It is the result of my long-term accumulation and accumulation.
As a result, it seems that in order to reach the next level of single-mindedness and five-purposes, it will have to be accumulated slowly.
In the end, the only things that can increase the speed of cultivation are foreign objects such as the Yuan Gathering Array or other unknown secrets. The Mountain of Light does have trading information for these things, but those trading locations are mainly concentrated in the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.
.It is a face-to-face transaction between knights. In a remote place like the Hawaiian subcontinent, in the Mountain of Light, there is almost no transaction information, and more than 70% of those transactions are barter.
Part of it is in exchange for Earth Yuan Crystal. This Earth Yuan Crystal seems to have become a kind of hard currency among the Black Iron Knights. There are not many things that can really be bought with gold, and except for the Juyuan Tower, I really can't get much at the moment.
There are many things to exchange, and it seems that obtaining these things can only depend on chance.
The Three-Eyed Society and the Demon Clan can bribe human knights, so the Three-Eyed Society and the Demon Clan should have a lot of good things in their hands.
Zhang Tie's thoughts finally stopped at the few pieces of knight equipment and medicines that he had looted from the Three-Eyed Knight he killed in the Cernes war zone...
The fist wind in the underground palace quietly had a hint of chill...
After one punch, the energy and blood in his body began to become active again, and the future path of cultivation suddenly became clear in his mind. Zhang Tie withdrew his fists, stood up, flicked his clothes, and walked out of the underground palace.
As soon as Zhang Tie opened the door of the underground palace, he knew that the regiment commander's residence was outside. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tie returned to the ground from the underground palace, the first thing he saw was the chief of the regiment commander's residence.
At this moment, the sun had just set outside, the weather was a bit gloomy, and the chill in the air was a bit more chilly than when Zhang Tie entered the underground palace.
Seeing Zhang Tie again, the director felt that he had not seen him for more than a month. The aura of Elder Mu Shen became deeper, especially his eyes, which seemed to have the power to penetrate gold and iron. This was mainly because
It was the result of Zhang Tie's increased mental power after eating the Fruit of Glory. Of course, a little of the effects of other fruits would be reflected in Zhang Tie's aura, but the director of the office didn't know that. He thought it was Zhang Tie's cultivation.
As a result, I felt awe-inspiring and my attitude became more respectful.
"Is there nothing going on during this time?" Zhang Tie asked casually.
"Everything is normal!" said the director of the operation, and handed over the three Legion briefings of the Hurricane Legion in his hand.
Zhang Tie received the briefings and scanned each briefing at a glance. The information above was completely understood. It took Zhang Tie less than twenty seconds to read the three briefings.
For Zhang Tie, the really important things of the Hurricane Corps in this month are only two things - the adjustment of the third-level combat force of the Hurricane Corps has been completed, and the subordinate corps of the Hurricane Corps have begun to station in the three cities and fully take over the city defense of the three cities.
and public security.
"After the Lantern Festival, the first batch of elite special forces can be sent to the Kalei Mountains to prepare for the future battle!" Zhang Tie casually set a time for the ninth level team of the Hurricane Legion to go to the Kalei Mountains.
The time, in total, is half a month after the New Year.
After the organization adjustment, without affecting the combat effectiveness of other units as much as possible, the entire Hurricane Legion can be mobilized to form only 418 troop members with a combat strength of level nine or above. These 418 people include the lowest level of nine and the highest level of thirteen.
Level, these people will form the elite special operations brigade of the Hurricane Legion. The entire brigade is divided into three squads, responsible for the Hurricane Legion's battle in the Carré Mountains Theater.
Zhang Tie secretly sighed. The combat power of level 9 or above and below level 13 that a hurricane legion can draw is only equivalent to two battalions of any demon legion. This power comparison is too disparate. Countries in the Weiyi subcontinent
Only by uniting their forces can they barely compete with that demon army. If they fight alone, no one army can be the opponent of that demon army.
For these warriors, there will be a tough battle in the Carré Mountains in the future.
The director of the office quickly wrote down Zhang Tie's order in his notebook.
"Also, the mobile unit responsible for taking over the work must make separate financial statements and calculate independently every quarter. All pensions for the soldiers of the mobile unit are paid at five times the average pension of the mercenaries of the major mercenary groups in Ames. Since
If you want to make money, you have to be energetic and look like you are making money. If the mobile unit loses money for two consecutive months, let the commander voluntarily resign, transfer him from the command position of the mobile unit, and replace him with a capable person!"
Zhang Tie was talking as he walked, and the director of the branch followed Zhang Tie while recording quickly. The pen used to record the orders did not stop.
"Instruct the garrison to kill those who kidnap and traffick people into slavery, those who force girls into prostitution, those who rape women, and those who rob other people's property in the three cities under Huaiyutang from January 1 next year. Anyone found there will be killed.
When officials and businessmen collude with officials to take bribes, if the amount of property the official accepts as bribe exceeds one gold coin, the property will be converted into gold coins for the official to swallow with his own mouth. If he does not die, he will not be blamed. If he dies, all his family's wealth will be confiscated and stolen.
Those who commit crimes will have their fingers cut off, scammers will have their ears cut off, and those who violate other laws of Huaiyuan Hall will be punished double! At the same time, the Military Justice Department of the Hurricane Corps and the regiment commander Xingyuan jointly established a circuit military court to supervise the military discipline of the regiments garrisoned in three cities, and all trials and trials of the circuit military court will be
All accepted cases must be announced to the public in newspapers, and I will see all second-instance cases in the briefing. If there is any serious disturbance to the people or serious violation of military discipline and law in the garrison, let the commander of the corps come to the camp in person to explain it to me."
Zhang Tie's third order can be described as murderous, especially the one involving collusion between officials and businessmen. Swallowing gold was originally a way to commit suicide. This gold is heavy. If swallowed, it will penetrate a person's intestines.
If officials are allowed to swallow the bribed gold coins, then those who take bribes of more than one gold coin will face a disaster, and those who take bribes of more than ten gold coins will basically have difficulty surviving. This is equivalent to the difference between officials and businessmen.
A red line is drawn between normal dealings and bribery. Anyone who dares to accept black money should first consider whether his stomach can accommodate the black money.
The establishment of a circuit military court to directly focus on second-instance cases that are not satisfied with the first-instance verdict is Zhang Tie's sharp sword of military law and military discipline raised over the heads of all Hurricane Legion soldiers and officers.
Iron will never be soft.
Zhang Tie, who comes from an ordinary family in Black Flame City, knows how difficult it is for a small person to survive. When his family opened a rice wine shop in Black Flame City, a tax official came to make things difficult and ask for bribes. Although the tax official was just a low-ranking person in Black Flame City,
But it was this little person who made Zhang Tie's father and mother frown all day long, and almost stopped the rice wine shop that subsidized the Zhang family's livelihood. It was not until later that Zhang Tie's brother joined the Heiyan City.
Wei Jun took a chance and took a few friends to teach the little tax collector a lesson, and then the tax collector became honest...
At that time, the Holy War had not yet come, and Black Flame City was still peaceful, but even in that peaceful environment, it was not easy for little people to survive. What's more, at this time, troubled times came, and countless little people were tossed around, and their lives were precarious.
Ordinary people who come to Huaiyuan County may accidentally encounter a few bullies or be tricked by evil officials and merchants, and may have their families destroyed and countless human tragedies staged.
If he had not resorted to harsh punishments and thunderbolts at this time to intimidate Xiao Xiao and protect the weak, Zhang Tie would have felt sorry for his years of life in Black Flame City and his title of knight. (To be continued...)
