Getting Stronger By Fighting

On one side, Zhao Feiyu smiled and said, "As long as you two don’t say anything, how could anyone possibly know about our conversation?"

"I’m not so sure."

Wang Zhan crossed his arms. After glancing at Zhao Feiyu, he directly said, "I used to think Xiang Tian was the most annoying person around me, but since meeting you, I’ve realized there’s no most annoying person, only more annoying ones!"

In an instant, Zhao Feiyu looked completely embarrassed.

But he didn’t say much more.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them resumed their journey.

After their recent conversation, the team of Wang Zhan and two others took a brief rest, so they naturally didn’t need to worry about anything and had to proceed at full speed after resting.

Although Wang Zhan seemed to be chatting and laughing, the Sword Spirit could see that Wang Zhan was still harboring a fire in his heart, all because of Zuo Linglong.

If it weren’t for Zuo Linglong being so badly injured, how could things have reached this point?

But all of this was just a consequence of the actions of those in the Returning Cloud Pavilion.

Just as they reached a mountain range, Wang Zhan and the others suddenly stopped, and Wang Zhan looked at the large mountain in front of them, his gaze changing slightly.

Before them, the entire mountain was a shade of red, and the temperature around it was continuously rising.

At this moment, the Fire Qilin, who had been hiding in Wang Zhan’s embrace, gradually emerged.

Upon seeing the Fire Qilin, Zhao Feiyu immediately exclaimed, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang has such a variant beast of heaven and earth with him? If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Fire Qilin!"

"I didn’t think you’d recognize the Fire Qilin?"

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Zhao Feiyu had always been in the sea domain, and the Fire Qilin naturally repelled water, so no matter what, the Fire Qilin would never appear in the sea domain, making it difficult for Zhao Feiyu to meet him.

Wang Zhan never expected Zhao Feiyu to recognize the Fire Qilin at a glance.

Next to him, Zhao Feiyu continued to smile and said, "The Fire Qilin is a beast of heaven and earth; naturally, I have some understanding of him. Although I have never met the Fire Qilin, I have heard people around me talk about him."

"By the way, why is the Fire Qilin with Mr. Wang? Did you form some kind of contract, which is why he’s always by your side?"

Wang Zhan chuckled and explained, "Our story is long, but our relationship is much better than you think. No matter what, we’re teammates standing shoulder to shoulder, and if it weren’t for the Fire Qilin’s help before, I would’ve been dead by now..."

"So, although we don’t need a contract, our bond is stronger than those who make contracts. Our friendship is far beyond your imagination."

Indeed, there was a long history between Wang Zhan and the Fire Qilin.

Back then, the Fire Qilin was just a cub, but always by Wang Zhan’s side, so changes kept happening, and its strength increased rapidly, to the point where even Wang Zhan found it hard to keep up, feeling a bit envious of the Fire Qilin...

Wang Zhan didn’t say much more to Zhao Feiyu and focused his gaze on the Fire Qilin, rolling his eyes at the creature before snapping, "When I was in the sea domain, even the elders of the Dragon Clan were ready to make a move on me, yet you never showed yourself. I thought you were just asleep, but now it looks like you knew what was happening around us, so you deliberately didn’t show up, right?"

"What good would it have done if I died at the hands of those Dragon Clan elders?"

The Fire Qilin let out a cold laugh, but continued to stare at the mountain before them.

He said plainly, "Because you now have Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor, both treasures of the sea domain, there’s a certain level of conflict with me. Also, I don’t like those things, so if you really died, I wouldn’t need to stay by your side anymore; it would be beneficial to me."

Wang Zhan was rendered speechless, "You’re truly an ungrateful creature. Had I known, I wouldn’t have helped your father and brought you here in the first place!"

The Fire Qilin retorted impatiently, "Enough with your complaints. I didn’t help you that day because I sensed a distant aura, and soon after, didn’t you meet the Azure Dragon Venerable?"

"If I had helped you then, based on the wishes of the Azure Dragon Venerable, he definitely wouldn’t have easily stepped in. Then you’d be tested in a small way, sparring with the people of the Dragon Clan to test your strength. That would’ve benefited us all!"

It’s undeniable, the Fire Qilin truly was farsighted.

Next to him, Wang Zhan gave the Fire Qilin a thumbs up and said, "You really are full of ill-intent, even surpassing the Azure Dragon Venerable and the others, aren’t you?"

The Fire Qilin ignored Wang Zhan, still focusing his gaze on the mountain peak ahead.

Wang Zhan sensed something was amiss and moved beside the Fire Qilin, asking with a face full of doubt, "Is there something unusual here?"

The Fire Qilin nodded, squinting slightly before speaking, "I sense a familiar aura here, and since we’re already here, with Returning Cloud Pavilion not far away, we might as well enter the mountain and see what’s happening inside. I can tell the person inside is casting a spell, and their power is rapidly declining, clearly already heavily injured..."

Wang Zhan was stunned.

In his impression, the Fire Qilin seemed indifferent to everything, and now wanted to venture into this dangerous mountain, arousing Wang Zhan’s curiosity.

Wang Zhan’s gaze returned to the Fire Qilin, full of curiosity, as he asked, "Could there be a Fire Qilin inside?"

"Of course not. The person hiding inside has some connection with you."

The Fire Qilin suddenly smiled.

On the mountain, Wang Zhan was puzzled, saying, "Someone connected to me? How come I have no idea?"

"The Vermilion Bird Venerable."

The Fire Qilin bluntly said, "If you don’t have dementia, you should know the name of the Vermilion Bird Venerable, right?"

Zhao Feiyu beside him widened his eyes in surprise, speaking solemnly, "I’ve already seen the Azure Dragon Venerable and witnessed the Black Tortoise Venerable’s abilities, but since the Vermilion Bird Venerable never comes to the sea domain, I’ve never seen them. I did once meet the White Tiger Venerable. If I truly encounter the Vermilion Bird Venerable here, I will have seen all four Exalted Masters!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head dismissively, saying, "You really are amusing. Even if you meet all four Exalted Masters, what good will it do you? It’s not like they would take you as their personal disciple, and you won’t learn any skills from them. Meeting them is just that, do you really think you’re related to them?"

Zhao Feiyu quickly explained, "That’s because you don’t understand the origin and power of the Four Exalted Masters. My ancestors mentioned that the Four Exalted Masters helped us with many things. Without them, I believe we couldn’t have transformed the Star War Battlefield into what it is today."

"The stability of the Star War Battlefield is entirely due to the Four Exalted Masters joining forces with many experts at the time to fight the top-tier demons. Because of this, many of those experts vanished like smoke..."

"However, the strength of the Four Exalted Masters was outstanding. Although they remained hidden all these years suppressing demons, they’ve never left our side. That’s the most exhilarating part..."

Wang Zhan didn’t add anything further. He knew the basics about the Four Exalted Masters, as he had witnessed the Azure Dragon Venerable’s means and even learned the Indestructible Azure Sky Spell from him.

Next to him, the Sword Spirit’s face darkened, his eyes showing a trace of melancholy.

And Wang Zhan naturally understood why he was like this.

After all, the Sword Spirit likely thought of his first master.

When Wang Zhan encountered the Sword Spirit, it was hidden within the Broken Sword. Though Wang Zhan had later restored the Great Void Divine Sword, it was ultimately destroyed. Fortunately, the Sword Spirit survived and appeared before everyone.

Of course, through that Broken Sword, Wang Zhan could recall how terrifying the past battle was. The Sword Spirit’s words implied that his first master was extremely formidable, yet had also perished...
