Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 1038 - 1036: The Position of Patriarch

Upon hearing these words, the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s face immediately turned much more grim. Azure Dragon Venerable was their main support, and now that news of his demise had reached them, who could feel at ease?

The Black Dragon Clan Leader sighed and then lowered his voice to speak softly, "You indeed handled this matter appropriately. If the news gets back to the Dragon Clan, it won’t take long before everyone in the Dragon Clan becomes restless and might even covet my position. Although I am quite advanced in age and don’t want to continue being the clan leader, there is no suitable candidate..."

In an instant, the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s eyes suddenly brightened. After giving Wang Zhan a thorough look, he smiled and said, "I’ve just thought of a good idea. If you can become our Dragon Clan’s leader, then there would be no need to worry, and I can fully rely on you!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan quickly widened his eyes and waved his hands as he said, "What kind of joke are you making? How could I possibly become the leader of the Dragon Clan? After all, I’m not one of you. I don’t have the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and though I have inherited the legacy of Azure Dragon Venerable, compared to you, there’s still no advantage..."

"Moreover, our human lifespan is far shorter than that of your Dragon Clan. I think even the children in your clan may be older than I am, so I clearly can’t take on the role of the Dragon Clan leader. Please, don’t make things difficult for me..."

If I truly agreed to this, wouldn’t I be permanently stuck in the sea domain? Not to mention, Wang Zhan has his own Sect and many experts beside him, all expecting his return. Although everyone believes he is in seclusion, I can’t deceive them...

So now I naturally need to hurry back to the Sky Pavilion.

Reflecting on these things, Wang Zhan grew more resolute and quickly said, "Black Dragon Clan Leader, just forget about this for now. If you really don’t have a good candidate, I can help you find one. Besides, you’re still in your prime and can continue being a pillar of the Dragon Clan, so I don’t have to worry about your affairs..."

While speaking, Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit next to him, smiling as he said, "Alright, since everything that needed to be said has been said, we don’t need to waste any more time here. Pack up quickly, and let’s hurry back to the Sky Pavilion. Everyone is likely already anxious from waiting. I have a feeling, Xiang Tian might have gone to the back mountain in search of me..."

Of course, Wang Zhan just wanted a way to get away; he wasn’t truly worried about everyone in the Sky Pavilion. After all, with Feng Tianci there, there was nothing really to worry about.

The Black Dragon Clan Leader shook his head helplessly. At his advanced age, how could he not understand Wang Zhan’s intentions?

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s lips. Just as Wang Zhan and his companion were about to leave, he quickly blocked their way and said hurriedly, "If someone else wanted to become the leader of the Dragon Clan, they would have to go through various trials, but given your strength, I doubt those trials would be any challenge for you."

"As for the issue you mentioned about race, it’s not something I haven’t considered. But in this day and age, and especially on the Star War Battlefield, rules only respect the strong. You’re not from the Dragon Clan, but I believe everyone will support you since you hold Poseidon’s Trident. Nobody in the entire sea domain dares challenge you. Not only do we in the Dragon Clan recognize the power of Poseidon’s Trident, but everyone in the sea domain knows it too."

"So, from a certain perspective, this is one of your advantages! It is also the main reason why I want you to become the leader of the Dragon Clan. After all, as long as you can lead the Dragon Clan to greater heights, people won’t care too much. So long as the result is the same, that’s enough."

Seeing his demeanor, Wang Zhan couldn’t help being speechless. Clearly, this old fellow sincerely wishes for him to stay in the Dragon Clan, but it simply feels like a joke...

After a brief hesitation, Wang Zhan continued, "I understand your goodwill, and I know what’s on your mind, but I truly have many things to handle and can’t stay in the sea domain forever, so I ask the Black Dragon Clan Leader to understand. If there’s anything needed in the future, you can send someone to find me as per our agreement. You can rest assured; I am a man of my word. Having promised you, I will certainly keep it."

In the end, the Black Dragon Clan Leader sighed helplessly, "Since you have made your decision, I won’t say much more. In the coming time, I hope you think it through. Our Dragon Clan is the largest clan in the world. If you could become our leader, it would benefit you as well, and even formidable enemies would have to consider your status!"

Wang Zhan nodded and said nothing further.

Indeed, during this period, Wang Zhan has faced many formidable opponents, but he always found a way to manage. Along with his companions who have fought alongside him, the rapidly changing situation on the Star War Battlefield compels him, for the sake of those close to him, to return to the Tian Pavilion promptly. Even a minor enemy won’t give up easily, though without his presence, even someone like Feng Tianci might struggle to navigate them through danger.

Therefore, Wang Zhan must consider what is best for those around him.

In a flash, Wang Zhan prepared to leave with the Sword Spirit. As they were about to depart, Zhao Feiyu rushed over, scratched his head, smiled at Wang Zhan, and said, "Mr. Wang, I know you won’t stay in the sea domain, and I’ve overheard your conversation with the Black Dragon Clan Leader. So I also want to stay by your side. Although I’m unsure what I could do, I believe my strength surpasses many of those around you."

"And if you dislike the people around me, I’ll simply disperse them. I must stay by your side, otherwise, I feel like I’ve lost my purpose in life..."

Seeing him like this, Wang Zhan could only helplessly shake his head. Are they joking?

The Dragon Clan wants him as a clan leader, which might make sense, but now Zhao Feiyu also wants to stay with him, and that truly exceeds Wang Zhan’s expectations. Thinking about this, Wang Zhan said, "Having overheard my conversation with the Black Dragon Clan Leader, you should understand why I don’t want to stay in the sea domain. Moreover, as a dominant figure within the sea domain, wouldn’t staying with me keep you underutilized?"

"So stay in the sea, continue being your local overlord. I’ve talked to the Black Dragon Clan Leader, and in the future, you can mutually support each other. I believe nobody will dare trouble you, and with your alliance, the sea domain’s situation will improve, and you might even become the master of the sea domain!"

After saying this, Wang Zhan patted Zhao Feiyu’s shoulder and continued, "Additionally, if the Black Dragon Clan Leader no longer wishes to be the leader, and you gain the support of the Dragon Clan members, couldn’t you become the clan leader? It’s a prestigious position right below one and above the rest, enabling you to strive for becoming the sea domain’s master. Isn’t that your real dream?"

The Sword Spirit beside shook his head, witnessing Wang Zhan in this way for the first time. Why hadn’t he noticed Wang Zhan’s eloquence before?

But perhaps all this happened because he had no choice. The enthusiasm of those in the sea domain is overwhelming. Even one Black Dragon Clan Leader was enough to give Wang Zhan a headache, but suddenly Zhao Feiyu also appeared.

After hesitation, Zhao Feiyu sighed, shaking his head, "Others don’t know what truly goes on within the Dragon Clan, but I know well that the Dragon Clan isn’t just as simple as it appears. Although the current Black Dragon Clan Leader might not be particularly formidable, many experts exist within the Dragon Clan. The true big figures are those Elders, and to become the clan leader, one must be recognized by them. But you, as Azure Dragon Venerable’s heir, hold Poseidon’s Trident and possess the Crystal Armor for protection."

"Compared to you, the gap between us is far too wide..."

"Even if I broke my head over it, I couldn’t become an Elder in the Dragon Clan, so how could I lead? So, Mr. Wang, stop jesting with me. As long as I can stay by your side, it’s enough for me..."

"Even if it ends terribly for me, that’s my own business..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan felt embarrassed and helplessly shook his head, "Is staying by my side really that risky?"
