Getting Stronger By Fighting

At this moment, Wang Zhan had already collected all the herbs on the shelf, and his gaze fell on the wall in front of him.

After a simple inspection, he gently knocked on the wall twice. After hearing the echo from inside, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth, and he spoke to himself, "It seems just as you suspected, there really are some good things hidden here. This must be where the Returning Cloud Pavilion ancestor stored his treasure. We just need to break through here to get in."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan clenched his fist and suddenly struck the wall in front of him.

With a loud crash, the wall collapsed.

In front of everyone appeared a deep tunnel, and on both sides of the tunnel were many crystal stones that made the tunnel extremely bright.

Wang Zhan and his group didn’t waste any time. Given how hidden this place was, it indicated there must be some valuable items within. Wang Zhan quickened his pace and rapidly led the way into the tunnel, with everyone following behind him.

Zhao Feiyu’s gaze fell on the Fire Qilin. He blinked and slowly asked, "Your senses are quite keen; do you sense any danger here? If there truly is any danger, we should have you and Miss Sword Spirit lead the way. After all, compared to Wang Zhan, there is a gap in strength between you. If he were to lead and something happened, Wang Zhan might not escape unscathed..."

The Fire Qilin rolled its eyes at Zhao Feiyu, speaking with a hint of annoyance, "You’ve only been with Wang Zhan for how long? And now you’re completely won over by him? Always thinking of his safety? If there really is a problem within, wouldn’t I just become a target by leading?"

Beside him, Zhao Feiyu scratched his head and said lightly, "That’s not what I mean at all. Your strength is far superior to Wang Zhan’s, so it’s naturally better for you to be in the front as a safety measure, ensuring we needn’t worry about anything."

"If I had your level of top-notch strength, I would undoubtedly lead the way and shelter everyone from danger!"

Ha...

Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on the Fire Qilin’s lips as it huffed at Zhao Feiyu, saying with discontent, "You’re filled with ill-intent, and I won’t bother with your nonsense."

In a flash, he turned his gaze to Wang Zhan and said calmly, "Alright, you must have heard what your brother just said. Since he wants me to lead, I shouldn’t hesitate. After all, my strength speaks for itself, and even if there is danger, I should stand at the forefront."

Although the Fire Qilin’s tone was somewhat sarcastic, Wang Zhan was not offended. There was some truth to it; the Qilin’s strength was a safety layer, and if he were to lead, they would not face much danger.

If anything sudden happens, the Qilin’s keen senses would surely detect it quickly. All they needed was to stay close behind him.

Soon, the Fire Qilin walked ahead, leading into the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit slightly squinted her eyes and spoke slowly, "Of course, if you don’t fancy leading, I can easily take the front. I’ve already sensed the tunnel—there’s a large space ahead, no traps or energy fluctuations in this dead zone."

"But have you considered another possibility?"

Suddenly, the Qilin asked a question back.

The Sword Spirit looked at him with a puzzled expression and smiled, "What?"

"If none of us can detect any energy fluctuations here, it might seem safe. But what if someone far stronger than us is intentionally hiding their energy? We might be misled, and then it would become very tricky."

"Even if that happens, dealing with such strong adversaries would be challenging for us. Leaving here safely would be nearly impossible, with no way for everyone to escape unscathed."

Though his words were harsh, they were indeed factual.

The Sword Spirit nodded, her eyes showing seriousness.

Since this was their first visit here, everything was unfamiliar, so caution was necessary to prevent unexpected troubles that could catch them off guard.

In a blink, they quickly moved toward the tunnel’s depths.

Despite the Fire Qilin’s heightened caution, they reached the deepest part of a plaza, finding no humans or demonic beasts, proving its safety.

Wang Zhan squinted slightly, his gaze falling on the brightly colored beads nearby. He exclaimed, "Didn’t expect this old guy collected so many demonic beast cores!"

Everyone’s attention converged on Wang Zhan as they moved closer to examine the beads.

With their strength, the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit quickly identified these, realizing they were indeed demon cores. But even they had never seen so many...

The Returning Cloud Pavilion’s ancestor must have accumulated resources persistently during his seclusion, gathering an unimaginable amount.

Wang Zhan took a couple of steps forward, examining the items while rubbing his chin. He picked up a demon core and said lightly, "I can feel these cores are of extremely high quality. Turning them into elixirs would hugely benefit us, potentially enhancing our cultivation and strength. I already have a plan..."

Wang Zhan’s eyes shifted slightly, and then he smiled, "Everyone in the Sky Pavilion is close to us, and they wouldn’t easily leave, so they should strengthen along with us. They shouldn’t feel left out after being with us for so long; we owe them that..."

After this, Wang Zhan continued, "So, I’ve decided to bring these demon cores back and refine them into elixirs, distributing them among the Sky Pavilion members to uplift their skills. But there’s one more issue..."

Halfway, Wang Zhan paused, hesitating.

His gaze turned to the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit, asking, "I’ve heard of techniques between Heaven and Earth that allow group cultivation, enhancing collective battlefield strength. Have you heard of them?"

They exchanged glances, and Sword Spirit spoke first, "What you’re referring to isn’t a technique but called battle tactics. Manuals are rare, even with many members in the Sky Pavilion. Having such a battle tactic, you could connect with them, harnessing all their strength in facing powerful foes. Even I can’t fathom such multiplied strength..."

The Fire Qilin nodded. Knowing the prowess of battle tactics was one thing, acquiring one was not simple.

"Is there a battle tactic here?"

Suddenly, Zhao Feiyu, standing aside, spoke up.

The three quickly gathered around him, noticing the ancient manual in his hand.

Wang Zhan took the manual, flipped through it, and a faint smile appeared, "Unexpectedly, it truly is a battle tactic!"

"Seems like it was all effortlessly acquired!"

"When we return to the Returning Cloud Pavilion, we can pass this battle tactic on, enhancing everyone’s combat ability and solidifying the Sky Pavilion’s power!"
