Getting Stronger By Fighting

"Are you ready? Then let me help you open this palace."

The Black Dragon Venerable standing to the side approached the palace. With his hands forming seals, he muttered unknown incantations. Soon, they heard a deafening noise, and the ground even shook.

In the blink of an eye, the palace doors slowly opened. The Black Dragon Venerable glanced at Wang Zhan and instructed, "I know you are friends of the Azure Dragon Venerable. Though I’m unsure why he believes in you so much, the stakes have been explained to you. Once inside the palace, if you can’t eliminate the demons, it will be difficult to come out. So, before you enter, I hope you reconsider."

"If you regret now, it’s not too late, but once inside and you want to exit, it won’t be that simple."

The crowd watched Wang Zhan, awaiting his response.

From a certain angle, they didn’t really favor Wang Zhan and wanted them to enter. Knowing their connection with the Azure Dragon Venerable and hearing tales of him, their invitation proved their formidable strength.

However, both were too young, seemingly much younger than everyone else. The Dragon Clan’s age couldn’t be spoken of in the same manner as humans. Naturally, there was some jealousy towards Wang Zhan, hoping to see them enter and anticipating the outcome.

Wang Zhan gave a slight smile, confidently glanced at Sword Spirit, patted his shoulder, and cheerfully said, "Since everyone is awaiting our victory news, let’s not waste time. We shouldn’t disappoint them. Let’s depart now!"

Saying this, Wang Zhan transformed into a bright streak and sped into the palace.

The Sword Spirit behind Wang Zhan nodded, glanced at the Black Dragon Venerable, and hurriedly followed Wang Zhan inside.

As they entered, the Dragon Clan turned their gaze and began discussing again.

"These two are truly confident, rushing inside like that without considering their future. They probably don’t expect to come out alive."

"What does it matter to us? Who can they blame for overestimating themselves? As far as I know, some Elders of our Dragon Clan have ventured inside with no word or trace, likely dead..."

"Yet these two dare overestimate themselves. We have quite a show to watch?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Venerable turned coldly towards the group, sternly speaking, "You useless losers! That’s one thing if you’re powerless to handle such matters. But now people replace Dragon Clan members, and you’re here making snide comments? Since when did the Dragon Clan have such worthless trash?"

"If anyone dares to continue defaming Wang Zhan, don’t blame me for being harsh!"

After the Black Dragon Venerable scolded the crowd, they fell silent.

Though the Black Dragon Venerable disliked Wang Zhan, even less so his design on the Poseidon’s Trident, Wang Zhan was chosen by the Azure Dragon Venerable. If Wang Zhan were to defeat the demons, it would bring peace to the sea domain, and Dragon Clan wouldn’t live in difficult times.

In this situation, even without amiability towards Wang Zhan, he wouldn’t act recklessly.

The crew glanced at one another but remained silent.

In no time, Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit entered the palace, rapidly arriving in the main hall.

Upon scanning the area, apart from the main hall, there were no other structures. Which meant...

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Sword Spirit, frowning as he spoke, "Do you sense anything different? Why don’t I feel any formidable presence? Could it be they tricked us here to trap us?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Spirit shook his head, folded his arms, and steadily spoke, "I don’t think it’s that simple. Since entering here, I haven’t felt any terrifying presence, yet an intensely strong intimidation—far beyond my imagination—should rival me."

"So we must remain cautious. Surely, the demons hide nearby, possibly ready for a lethal strike. We must remain vigilant."

Fortunately, before arriving to the Dragon Clan, their strength reached its peak, though Wang Zhan lacked the Great Void Divine Sword, reducing combat ability. Sword Spirit fully absorbed the Divine Heart and Glaze Crystal Body, with Wang Zhan holding the Demon-suppressing Stone. They needn’t worry, should defeat occur, it wouldn’t be disgraceful.

Both firmly believed the Azure Dragon Venerable wouldn’t harm them, perhaps it’s merely a test.

As they spoke, a booming sounded in their ears. A massive apparition gradually appeared before them.

In moments, the apparition manifested entirely, revealing two large Dragon Horns atop the figure’s head. Aside from a larger physique, his appearance resembled Wang Zhan’s.

"Could this figure be human?"

Wang Zhan questioned Sword Spirit with confusion.

Sword Spirit slightly furrowed his brows, shaking his head, he replied, "It’s not that simple. He isn’t an ordinary human, possibly elevating his powers to assume a human form. Yet significant differences remain between us, we mustn’t underestimate him. Didn’t you notice his Dragon Horns?"

Wang Zhan nodded.

Sword Spirit continued, "Those Dragon Horns symbolize the Demonic Clan; he’s likely an expert from the clan. Defeating him would ease our mission."

"Moreover, he’s our stepping stone to the Poseidon’s Trident."

Wang Zhan’s excitement grew upon hearing this, particularly interested in the Poseidon’s Trident.

True, Sword Spirit saw this and wouldn’t face peril. Risky escape would be disastrous. Wang Zhan defied Song Tianyang for Sword Spirit, exhausting efforts to grant him form. The body forged by heaven’s finest materials warranted an unrepayable gratitude.

Amid their conversation, the figure noticed them, squinting his eyes disdainfully before coldly remarking, "Can’t the Dragon Clan find any experts? They send two kids to confront me, the Water Demon. Truly laughable."

"I understand. Since too many Elders perished at my hands, you sent these children for damage control. But mind my advice, matching my strength is insurmountable for you two."

"It’s wiser to leave now, avoid a bitter struggle, benefiting no one."

The Water Demon, glancing at Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit, dismissed them entirely, unwilling to engage. As a renowned demon, junior opponents stood no match.

Seeing the Water Demon’s disdain, Wang Zhan squinted slightly, then shaking his head, replied, "I’d advise you to unleash all your powers; soon, you may not have the chance."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan slowly retrieved the Demon-suppressing Stone, coldly confronting the Water Demon, speaking one word at a time, "Recognize this? Surely, we came prepared? We used many treasures against you, fortunate for you. Dying by our hands is superior to obscure deaths."

Wang Zhan spoke, smiling.

Upon seeing Wang Zhan’s demeanor, the Water Demon burned in rage. Once a veteran expert on the Star War Battlefield, juniors dared not flaunt before him, even Dragon Clan experts hesitated towards him.

Seeing Wang Zhan’s Demon-suppressing Stone, his expression turned sour, "Is that the Demon-suppressing Stone?"
