[Chapter 11-20]
Zhang Tie was Han Li’s fellow disciple and close friend under Doctor Mo. He cultivated the physically demanding ‘Elephant Armor Technique’, which involved brutal training methods like soaking in medicinal baths and being beaten with wooden clubs. He was known for his great physical strength. Two years prior, after reaching the third layer of his technique, he suddenly disappeared, leaving only a farewell letter saying he was going to venture into the martial world. His disappearance was officially accepted, but Han Li privately suspects he might have fled due to fear of the even more painful fourth layer training.
[Chapter 61-70]
Zhang Tie was Han Li’s friend and fellow disciple who disappeared years ago. He was actually captured by Doctor Mo and Yu Zitong. His soul was destroyed, and his body was transformed using a combination of his cultivated ‘Xiang Jia Gong’ (Elephant Armor Art) and corpse refinement techniques into a powerful, mindless corpse servant initially called ‘Iron Slave’ and later renamed ‘Qu Hun’ by Han Li. His original soul is believed to have reincarnated.
