Zhang Tie did not know how long he had slept.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Tie found himself lying inside a cave. He was still dressed in ragged clothes, but the injuries from forcibly enduring an enraged blow from an Earth Knight had vanished without a trace. His physical condition had returned to its peak, and the circulation of Battle Qi within him seemed even smoother than before.
After regaining consciousness, thinking back on everything that had happened, Zhang Tie felt as though he had been dreaming.
