Getting Stronger By Fighting

Wang Zhan also knew that the Azure Dragon Venerable was only trying to protect him.

After all, his and the Sword Spirit’s strength were right there for all to see. Even if the two of them joined forces, they still wouldn’t be able to match any of the few people present, so if they stayed here, it would just be a pointless waste of time.

Seeing that Wang Zhan still hadn’t moved, the Azure Dragon Venerable spoke again, "What else can you do here? Hurry up and take your friend and leave. There’s no need for you to handle what’s happening here anymore. From here on out, just let the two of us deal with it!"

"Besides, haven’t you already gotten what you wanted? Now that the Crystal Armor has been given to you, you can completely turn around and leave. There’s no need to keep wasting time here with us!"

For a moment, Wang Zhan froze in place. The corner of his mouth lifted in a confident smile. He took a few more looks at the Azure Dragon Venerable before finally speaking faintly, "Enough, stop wasting time on me here. If you’ve got that much time, it’d be better spent thinking about how to deal with the Demon God in front of you. Since I’ve already made it here, and even took the Crystal Armor from this place, I can’t just walk away and leave you two old guys here, can I?"

"Besides, I can see it clearly— even with the two of you joining forces, I’m afraid you still won’t be able to kill him outright. At best, you’re planning to suppress him again, aren’t you?"

In truth, Wang Zhan was very clear in his heart: even if the Azure Dragon Venerable and the other joined forces, they still wouldn’t be able to completely annihilate the Demon God before them. At most, they could pour in all their lifetime cultivation and suppress the Demon God once more. The final result would be more or less the same as last time, and they still had to worry about when the Demon God might recover again.

Once the Demon God recovered again, how were they supposed to handle it then?

By that time, the experts at their side would only grow fewer and fewer, and there would no longer be anyone capable of standing against the Demon God. Now Wang Zhan was gradually understanding another problem: this place wasn’t as simple as having only one Demon God. Across the entire Star War Battlefield, no one knew how many Demon Gods were buried beneath the ground. That was the truly thorny part!

The Azure Dragon Venerable, at the side, took a few more looks at Wang Zhan, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and said, "As expected, trying to fool you is no easy thing. But now everything is already laid out in front of us. The two of us simply have no way to contend with this Demon God in front of us, so the best method is to seal it again first. As for everything else, we’ll leave it to the future to deal with."

"You don’t need to worry about us. The two of us know what we’re doing. Besides, I’ve seen everything you’ve done during this time. If you, kid, can properly cherish your time and pour everything into improving your strength, I believe it won’t be long before you can completely take the place of us top experts. In the future, even if these Demon Gods revive again, you’ll still have ways to suppress them!"

"Alright, all of you from the younger generation, these proud sons of heaven, are the hope of the future Star War Battlefield. So there’s no need for you to stay here. Hurry up and leave, and don’t throw your life away for nothing!"

"Also, there’s one more thing I need to entrust you with. After you leave, remember to go back to the Dragon Clan from time to time and take a look. The situation over in the sea domain has already changed greatly. The Dragon Clan is no longer just the overlord upon the sea domain. And as for the temperaments of those Elders, I know them all too well. To rely on them to make the Dragon Clan stronger and stronger is practically an impossible task."

"If, in the future, the Dragon Clan needs anything, I’ll need you to give them a hand for my sake!"

Listening to these words, Wang Zhan felt as if the Azure Dragon Venerable was arranging his last affairs with him. His chest seized in pain. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "Old man, stop saying all this useless crap! I know you’ve already prepared yourself to die, but as long as I’m standing in front of you, I absolutely won’t allow you to do that!"

"Besides, I believe that with the strength of the four of us, even if we can’t kill this Demon God, there’s no need for us to exhaust every last means in our bodies just to suppress it here. That’s nothing but a pointless waste of time and an increase in unnecessary casualties!"

The Sword Spirit at the side also nodded. "I followed my first master for a very long time and roamed the Star War Battlefield for many years, so I know a fair bit about what goes on here. I know you don’t want these Demon Gods to revive and ravage the entire Star War Battlefield, but I hope you think this through. If there are no pillars like you around, then when the Demon Gods in other places appear, what are we supposed to do?"

"Is everyone supposed to throw people at them in waves, just to suppress those Demon Gods?"

The Azure Dragon Venerable shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. He glanced at the Demon God in midair, then spoke to himself, "Things aren’t as complicated as you think. Right now, all I need to do is deal with the Demon God in front of me. Besides, there are still many experts on the Star War Battlefield, and back then it was precisely because all of us gathered together that we could join forces to fight these Demon Gods!"

"So you don’t need to worry. As long as all of us work together, I believe the Demon Gods absolutely won’t be allowed to rampage across the entire Star War Battlefield. I just need to take care of what’s in front of me. The rest can be left to others to handle."

Seeing how stubborn the Azure Dragon Venerable was, Wang Zhan clenched his teeth hard. "No. In any case, you two must leave with me today. I absolutely won’t let you perish together with this Demon God here."

Wang Zhan’s attitude was firm. Ever since he arrived on the Star War Battlefield, he had made quite a few friends, but the Azure Dragon Venerable had treated him extremely well, even always regarding him as his successor and passing down his core techniques to him. To Wang Zhan, that was a debt of gratitude he could never repay.

He had already regarded the Azure Dragon Venerable as his own master. Even though he didn’t know how long their relationship could last, he still didn’t want to watch the Azure Dragon Venerable walk step by step toward destruction.

"You brat, where did you get all this nonsense from?"

The Azure Dragon Venerable rolled his eyes at Wang Zhan, then said irritably, "When I first brought you along at my side, I never realized you had so much to say. And now you even dare to start ordering me around. Do you really think you’re some big shot? I’ll say this to you two one last time. If you still don’t get lost right now, then you’ll be staying here forever as well!"

But even after hearing this, Wang Zhan still didn’t retreat.

His gaze was filled with nothing but resolve.

The Black Tortoise Venerable, standing to the side, quickly walked up to Wang Zhan, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Then he chuckled and said, "Alright, stop making things harder for the two of us. You should be able to tell that the Azure Dragon Venerable is only doing this for your sake. After all, why should you sacrifice yourself here for nothing?"

"And you should also know that the Demon God in front of us is absolutely not something the few of us can contend with. The only way is to leave as quickly as possible. But even if we leave, so what? The entire Star War Battlefield will be swept by the Demon God. By the time his strength recovers to its peak, even we two old fellows won’t be his match. Then the Star War Battlefield will be completely doomed!"

"There are still so many people here you want to protect. You can’t just watch them all fall into such difficult times, can you? Once the Demon God breaks free from here, he will definitely bring great calamity to the Star War Battlefield! So you have to think this through carefully. Stop hesitating and hurry up, take your friend and leave this place!"

It was clear that the two of them were thinking entirely from his perspective.

But Wang Zhan still stood there in a daze, his teeth almost grinding to pieces. After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said, "Is there really no other way? Why must we use such a mutual-destruction method?"

"If there were any other way, who would want to use this kind of means to suppress this Demon God?"

The Azure Dragon Venerable snapped back irritably. Before Wang Zhan could react, the Azure Dragon Venerable slammed a palm onto his shoulder, and in the next second, Wang Zhan shot toward the outside of the cave. The Sword Spirit beside him gritted his teeth as well. Since Wang Zhan had been forcefully sent out, he couldn’t keep wasting time here. He gave the Azure Dragon Venerable and the other one last look, then turned and flew into the distance.

As they left, a faint smile appeared at the corner of the Azure Dragon Venerable’s mouth. He said calmly, "I really didn’t expect this little guy to be so stubborn. If we hadn’t forced him to leave, I’m afraid he still wouldn’t have gone!"

"Looks like I really did choose the right disciple. Not only can he inherit my mantle and even carry my techniques forward, he’s also so loyal and righteous. The more I look at him, the more satisfied I am..."

"It’s just a pity there’s no time in the future to keep spending with him. Otherwise, I could have trained him into a truly top-tier expert on the Star War Battlefield!"

Heh...

The Black Tortoise Venerable, standing to the side, shook his head with a smile and said faintly, "You old codger, stop thinking about all that. Even without your help, I’m sure it won’t be long before he becomes one of the top experts himself!"
