Chapter 1615: A Bizarre Capacity

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

At the speed of divine dominator, Zhang Tie flashed across the underground tunnel as fast as a lightning bolt. Only in less than half a minute, he had flown out of the scorching karst cave and entered the freezer.

The freezer was very large. For the sake of its effect, Zhang Tie didn’t stop at the edge of the freezer; instead, he came all the way into the center of the freezer where the temperature was stable. After that, he suspended the section of the root in the air using his ability as a divine dominator, having it bathe the cold.

As a knight, Zhang Tie had the great cold-resistant ability, plus the assistance of the effect of fruits of redemption; Zhang Tie’s cold-resistant ability became much greater than that of ordinary knights.

The temperature in the freezer had been declined to minus 100 degrees Celcius by Heller while a wisp of frost had already covered the center of the freezer. Rolling over there, the frost felt heart-piercing. Only by releasing a bit protective battle qi, Zhang Tie had not sensed the cold anymore.

Widening his eyes, Zhang Tie watched the section of fiery lotus root suspending in the air.

In the freezer, the glow over the section of fiery lotus root was gradually disappearing. At the same time, Zhang Tie sensed the cold qi gathering towards the section of fiery lotus root in a weird way.

It felt like throwing a piece of dry sponge into the water as water would be automatically absorbed by sponge; it also felt like black holes in his mind sea and qi sea engulfing the surrounding energy. How amazing it was!

Zhang Tie thought that even his master Zhao Yuan might not have a chance to see this.

As cold qi was gradually gathering around that section of fiery lotus root, an icy swirl slowly came into being around it which rotated in a close-wise manner. The shape of the icy swirl was extremely similar to that of the Taiji diagram, which stunned Zhang Tie again.

As time passed by, the glow over the section of fiery lotus root gradually faded away while the golden root slowly turned conspicuous. As smooth as polished metal surface, the section of the fiery lotus was clean and bright, having no trace of magma.

After over 20 minutes, the glow over the section of fiery lotus root had completely disappeared. Zhang Tie then widened his eyes and watched it for 7-8 minutes more. Then, the golden section of fiery lotus became transparent while a pale layer of frost gradually froze over the root. Right then, Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and had the section of fiery lotus root fly into his hand.

After throwing the last glance at it, Zhang Tie gave it a bite at once.

Previously, Zhang Tie thought it would be hard; unimaginably, the section of fiery lotus root tasted very soft, even a bit crispy. Besides, it tasted icy and fragrant. However, before Zhang Tie started to taste the fragrance carefully, the section of the root had already turned into liquid and flown all the way into his stomach from his throat.

Zhang Tie’s stomach felt warm and comfortable. At the same time, bizarre energy instantly spread over Zhang Tie’s body like how a leakless fruit usually did. The greater part of its energy finally gathered in the void of his qi sea and was absorbed by the battle qi sun. The rest part scattered into his bones, meridians, muscles, blood, even guts.

The process was as comfortable as taking a sauna bath.

After taking this section of root for less than 5 minutes, Zhang Tie licked his lips as he felt a bit change in his qi sea and his body for real. However, he wondered whether it was because of King Roc Sutra and his strong physical condition as the change was too small, which was far away from the situation where he couldn’t absorb any more. Additionally, the root appeared to be unable to make him feel full. After taking the section of firey lotus root and absorbing its mysterious energy, Zhang Tie still felt hungry.

Closely after that, Zhang Tie flashed into the karst cave below. In the blink of an eye, he had brought back another section of fiery lotus root, which was much bigger than the first one.

As Zhang Tie waited for the second section of root to turn cold, he sat on the ground with crossed legs as he ran his battle qi to digest and absorb the energy of the former section of root.

After almost half an hour, the second section of the root was just frozen. Only after a short while, it had been engulfed by Zhang Tie. After that, Zhang Tie rushed towards the karst cave below for the third time.

Later on, Zhang Tie kept traveling between the karst cave and the freezer with high spirit. He kept digesting the energy of the former section of the root while waiting for the next one. Basically, he could take and digest one section of the root in every 40 minutes. He was so interested in doing that he almost forgot time.

...

After many hours, when Zhang Tie hurriedly flew towards the freezer with a section of fiery lotus root, he suddenly threw a glance at his hand. Closely after that, he became still in the air.

At this moment, the section of fiery lotus root was still giving out sparkling glow with a pretty high temperature, just like a steel mold. However, Zhang Tie realized that he didn’t even release his battle qi at all; instead, he just held the section of high-temperature fiery lotus root by hand.

Not until he moved his eyes onto his hand did he feel a bit warm. However, it was still acceptable.

Zhang Tie’s palm was stuck to the section of root. After losing his grip and having it float in the air, Zhang Tie took a look at his hand as he found no scald on his palm at all; not even a blister; instead, he only found his palm a bit red like how it looked when he took a bowl of hot soup from the kitchen to the table when he was young. Additionally, his hand didn’t see any change. Neither it turned into a terrifying monster’s claw, nor it produced any surplus skin layer. His fine hair could still be seen clearly like before.

Zhang Tie held it by another hand as he felt the same. That hand was not scaled either; instead, it just felt a bit warm.

The fiery lotus roots had already started to change his physical condition and resistance to high temperature and flame.

...

After almost 40 minutes, when he finished that section of root, Zhang Tie came back to the bank of the magma lake. Squatting down, Zhang Tie directly put his left hand into lava while stroking his forehead using his right hand with releasing any protective battle qi.

His right hand felt as warm as before; instead of being icy or uncomfortable. His body temperature remained 35.5 degrees Celcius.

He stirred his left hand in the lava like how he stirred warm water before. However, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He only felt warm although Zhang Tie was clear that the lava’s temperature was 968 degrees Celcius.

When his left hand was in the lava, bizarre energy in all the cells of that hand appeared having been activated by the high temperature. Closely after that, that hand could fit high temperature. When he pulled that hand out of there, the bizarre energy among those cells slowly recovered.

The special energy in his cells was like mercury in a thermometer, which could adjust the energy level of his cells when feeling the change in temperature so that his body cells could bear it easily.

When the temperature was high outside, the bizarre energy level in his body cells would rise for real; when the temperature outside was normal, the bizarre energy level in his body cells would recover.

‘F*ck, it turns out that my sense and tolerance of temperature has been updated to an unimaginable degree. Fabulous!’

Watching his hands, Zhang Tie squatted down there for a while. After that, he stood up as he found that he could take many more roots; therefore, he cut off another section of fiery lotus root before running towards the freezer above...
