Getting Stronger By Fighting

Wang Zhan and the other did not continue speaking, as the two in the combat zone were still fighting. Their gazes quickly fell on the Fire Qilin and his opponent.

At this moment, the battle between Fire Qilin and the Returning Cloud Pavilion’s ancestor had reached a fever pitch, yet neither could claim victory.

Wang Zhan glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him, apprehension flickering in his gaze as he spoke softly, "I only regained my physical form last year, so I’m probably not at peak condition. I wonder if this guy is a match for the ancestor. If it truly comes down to it, I hope you’ll seize the opportunity and act swiftly. We cannot let anything happen to the Fire Qilin!"

If it were just dealing with Ye Yunfeng, Wang Zhan wouldn’t even care to look at him twice. But now, facing the Fire Qilin, his opponent was the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor, whose strength was far beyond his imagination. Wang Zhan couldn’t help but worry.

The Sword Spirit beside him chuckled and nodded, saying confidently, "I can sense it, if the Fire Qilin wants to deal with him, it shouldn’t be difficult. The Returning Cloud Pavilion’s ancestor may be formidable, but he might not be a match for him. Although his strength is considerable, I can feel he has reached a bottleneck, affecting his abilities. His full potential isn’t unleashed. If the Fire Qilin can keep the pressure on, he won’t last long. Victory will inevitably fall into the Fire Qilin’s hands."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan felt his heart’s burden lift.

The Returning Cloud Pavilion disciples standing outside exchanged glances, then voiced their confidence one by one: "The ancestor will easily crush these bastards, ancestor, go for it!"

"We all pledge allegiance to the ancestor. Should the ancestor need anything, we will not hesitate!"

"Support the ancestor!"

"..."

Seeing their exaggerated looks, Wang Zhan smirked disdainfully. These were just a group of fence-sitters, with no real capability but now they seen the skills of the Returning Cloud Pavilion’s ancestor, naturally, they’d want to stay aligned with the pavilion. But this time, they seemed to have chosen poorly. With the Sword Spirit present, even if Fire Qilin were at a disadvantage, the Sword Spirit would step in. The outcome would be only one: the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor would have no choice but to surrender...

In a flash, the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor retreated several steps, maintaining distance from the Fire Qilin, his eyes full of wariness. He clenched his teeth, glaring at the Fire Qilin for a while before saying, "I must admit, your strength is much greater than I imagined. If you are willing to follow me, I can help you further improve your strength."

"But following this loser, he offers you no help and won’t elevate your abilities. Staying with him is merely wasting your time, and a talent like you shouldn’t be wasted like this."

Has he already begun throwing out olive branches?

Wang Zhan allowed a slight smile to tug at his lips but maintained his confident demeanor.

The Fire Qilin furrowed his brow slightly, twisting his neck before focusing again on the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor, speaking calmly, "You ignorant old fool, even now, you’re still trying to sow discord. Others may not see it, but don’t you? You’re nowhere near my level; if you persist, you’ll gain nothing from it. But let me give you a piece of advice: not everyone is like those from the Returning Cloud Pavilion, a bunch of useless cowards!"

Everyone’s expressions changed, aware the Fire Qilin insulted them, but none dared to speak out. Their minds echoed with Fire Qilin’s words.

Could the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor really be no match for the Fire Qilin?

If that’s true, then things have become quite troublesome.

The Fire Qilin stepped forward towards the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor once again, then declared, "That was merely a warm-up. Now comes the real show. Next, let me show you my true power!"

As he spoke, Fire Qilin’s presence surged once more.

In that instant, Wang Zhan widened his eyes in shock, glancing at the Sword Spirit beside him, hastily saying, "This guy was hiding his strength all this time?"

Even Wang Zhan hadn’t anticipated that.

It turned out the Fire Qilin was so powerful, maintaining a reserve of strength during a life-or-death duel. This guy’s power is terrifying, and even a confrontation with the Sword Spirit might not benefit him much, Wang Zhan mused in astonishment.

The Sword Spirit nodded in agreement. "I, too, never imagined this guy’s strength would be so overwhelming. It seems you have yet another supreme expert by your side, which means we won’t need to retreat even against the most daunting foes. With our combined efforts, we can dominate the Star War Battlefield!"

"Moreover, even against Azure Dragon Venerable and others, the three of us could retreat unscathed."

Wang Zhan became increasingly exhilarated.

Meanwhile, Zhao Feiyu’s eyes widened. He never imagined the Fire Qilin’s power was this formidable.

Though he didn’t know the full extent of the trio’s power, having been part of the sea domain, he understood the might of Azure Dragon Venerable well.

If the three could truly be compared to Azure Dragon Venerable, it meant their prowess was godly and terrly immense.

Contemplating this, he excitedly clenched his fist, looking to Wang Zhan and the other, saying, "Following you secretly seems to have been a wise decision. Not only can I witness such peak battles, but perhaps through some fortune I might acquire rare treasures to advance my abilities!"

After all, the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor had mentioned he had some precious items stored in a cave mansion. If he could seize them, his abilities would surely improve. And knowing Wang Zhan’s character, he treats everyone around him well. If he found something valuable, he wouldn’t keep it for himself but share it with those around him.

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes and scolded, "You brat, having such pointless thoughts, why not use that time to think about improving your own strength? Otherwise, when you can’t keep up with us, will you still have the nerve to stay with us?"

Zhao Feiyu scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly. "Others might not dare stay around, but I’m thick-skinned compared to ordinary people. No matter the gap between us, I won’t leave so easily. I’ll just stick with you!"

Wang Zhan felt an urge to kick him but was distracted by a loud crash, drawing his attention back.

Wang Zhan’s gaze shifted to the men, who had resumed their fight.

This time, with Fire Qilin’s aura dramatically rising, the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor was forced to retreat.

The crowd within the Returning Cloud Pavilion exchanged glances, preparing to flee.

But how could they escape Wang Zhan’s notice?

Wang Zhan hadn’t just come to the Returning Cloud Pavilion to seek justice for Zuo Linglong. Killing Ye Yunfeng wasn’t the most critical task. He needed to eradicate everyone here to bring peace to Zuo Linglong.

The next second, Wang Zhan moved like lightning, blocking their path.

He quickly hindered their escape routes.

Their faces changed, breathing caught in worried gulps.

Especially when Wang Zhan stood before them, one quickly stepped forward, pleading, "Sir, right and wrong have a beginning and end. This situation doesn’t concern us greatly. Even if you trouble us here, what for?"

"Enough with those useless excuses. Until your ancestor has settled with the Fire Qilin, nobody here is leaving. If otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Zhan’s voice cut like ice.

The group exchanged worried looks, ultimately staying put.

At least Wang Zhan hadn’t yet attacked them, offering a chance to negotiate.

Now, their hopes rested on the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor.

If he could overcome the Fire Qilin, then Wang Zhan and the others would certainly not stand by. A large-scale battle could ensue, allowing them to escape amidst the chaos, hopefully preserving their lives.
