Castle of Black Iron

The three fruits that Zhang Tie had not ever seen were hanging over the small tree; each of which was as large as a palm. They were flat with metallic texture and luster. At the sight of the shape of the fruits, Zhang Tie had a strange feeling because the fruits were humanoid.

They were like the humanoid chocolate biscuits that Zhang Tie had ever eaten before when he was young.

When Zhang Tie gazed at the three new fruits, mouth agape, a golden brilliant light flashed inside of the three black fruits.

Zhang Tie stared blankly at the three fruits for a short while. Then he strode onto the sacrificial platform of the small tree and reached out his hand to check the attribute of the fruit.

The moment his hand touched one fruit, he had seen lines of words in front of his eyes.

——King Kong Fruit, it’s already 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.

——The more you fight, the braver and more powerful you will be. After your qi sea is broken, you suffer from ice and fire at the same time. Then, you will recover your qi sea and build a King Kong body!

——Brave man, iron-body fruits make your tendons and bones as firm as steel. It’s the foundation for you to make further progress. When the last iron-body fruit became ripe, it meant both the end and the start. At that moment, a broader road was presented to you. However, that road was blurry and full of thorns. It’s like a rarity deep in the earth and a pearl at the bottom of the ocean. Only those being blessed by God could take this road and finally get this rarity. The rarity is in your body which is even more precious than gold and all the other rarities in the world. Sabers and swords being forged in the furnace would be more consolidate after being quenched. Similarly, a body with iron-body fruits as the foundation would gradually become immortal and strongest after the quenching of ice and fire. Being large or small, it would never be destroyed. Being tight and inseparable, it’s called King Kong!

After reading such a brief introduction, Zhang Tie became thrilled. He felt blood boiling all over, causing his face to turn red; especially when he read the word “strongest”.

If ordinary people said something was strongest, Zhang Tie would always reply with a sneer; because those people didn’t reach his realm. Most of the strongest things were fabricated and predicted by those people after what the others said. However, at this moment, the word “strongest” body was presented by Castle of Black Iron and the small tree. Of course, Zhang Tie would not doubt that.

——Being large or small, it would never be destroyed. Being tight and inseparable, it’s called King Kong!

Zhang Tie couldn’t stand taking another look at this line of words as he started to guffaw all of a sudden.

The old frontiersman losing his horse, which was a blessing in disguise. If Zhang Tie didn’t discover the existence of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or didn’t determine to clash against Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or fight Versatile Demon Emperor or Versatile Demon Emperor didn’t want to kill Zhang Tie or Zhang Tie didn’t come to Tigerback Mountain, he would never have such marvelous encounters and find the secrets behind iron-body fruits.

Zhang Tie finally knew why he felt so comfortable in the icy fluid after each medical treatment. It was a sort of quenching just like how hot-red sabers and swords were quenched in liquid. Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could get King Kong Fruit by accident.

‘Such great achievement!’

Heller had already come to the front of the sacrificial platform of the small tree and was watching Zhang Tie who was almost dancing with joy with a big smile.

“Congratulations on getting King Kong fruits, Castle Lord. With such fruits, you could definitely reach a new height!”

“Previously I thought the fruit of the consciousness of universal laws was the last kind of fruit that the small tree could bear. I’ve not imagined that it could bear another kind of fruit. The God really treats me good; treats me good, hahaha…”

“It’s all the results of your efforts, Castle Lord. Without your insistence and bravery, this fruit might never appear!” Heller watched Zhang Tie seriously as he said, “Additionally, I told you that the fruit of the LV 9 consciousness of universal laws was the last fruit the small tree could bear; but I’ve not said that the small tree would not bear any new kind of fruit from the fruit of the LV 1 consciousness of universal laws to the fruit of LV 9 consciousness of universal laws. If you think so, you must have misunderstood me…”

“If you’ve long known that the small tree would bear such kind of fruit, you should have told me in advance!” Watching the three King Kong fruits, Zhang Tie sighed. “If I have long known about their existence, I would never have suffered so much these years!”

“Castle Lord, you know, it’s out of my ability…” Heller replied as he shrugged.

Zhang Tie suddenly got another question in mind. Now that iron-body fruits were followed by such a kind of fruit, whether the leakless fruits which had long disappeared were followed by greater fruits? As the conditions were not satisfied, those new fruits couldn’t manifest.

This whim made Zhang Tie thrilled for quite a while. After that, Zhang Tie picked a King Kong fruit and sat down, legs crossed, before putting the fruit into his mouth. After chewing it for a couple of times, he swallowed it.

Great energy started to spread across Zhang Tie’s body the moment the fruit entered his stomach. Then, it gradually penetrated into Zhang Tie’s guts, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, tendons, bones, even skin and hair while improving Zhang Tie’s body unconsciously.

After a period of time, the energy finally melted into Zhang Tie’s body completely.

Zhang Tie stood up and moved his limbs. Strangely, he didn’t feel hard; instead, he felt that his muscles and skin became soft, flexible and warm all over just like having taken a hot shower. He gained greater vigor. Additionally, he felt that his muscles and bones were getting tighter and more compact…

Heller was still waiting under the small tree as if he was ready for Zhang Tie’s questions.

“How long have I spent in digesting this fruit?”

“Castle Lord, you’ve spent more than 3 hours in digesting this fruit…”

After hearing Heller’s reply, Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. Even though he entered Castle of Black Iron once every 15 days, he could also have enough time to digest these fruits.

Besides the new King Kong fruits, there were also many fruits of redemption as usual. Therefore, Zhang Tie picked another King Kong fruit and continued to digest it under the small tree…

It almost took Zhang Tie 1 day to digest all the fruits. Then, he left Castle of Black Iron and appeared in the cave at the bottom of the ocean before returning to Tideviewing Courtyard…

Bian Heng arrived again as he started the 4th medical treatment for Zhang Tie…

“Eh…” Bian Heng exclaimed out of curiosity when he set the first needle.

“What?”

“Your skin appears even more flexible. I couldn’t stab it in as easily as before…”

“Really? How about now…” Zhang Tie said as his skin became as same as before. Bian Heng then successfully stabbed it in.

“Your protective secret method is not bad…” Bian Heng commented. Zhang Tie just replied with a smile…
