Getting Stronger By Fighting

The few people at the side exchanged glances and then nodded one after another.

It must be said, Wang Zhan’s idea is indeed good. They had been contemplating battle tactics, after all, there are quite a few people inside Sky Pavilion, but their strengths are all laid out here, and they are not particularly strong.

If they could combine everyone’s strength, it would naturally provide them with great help.

Moreover, if the overall strength of Sky Pavilion increases, it would certainly be beneficial to Wang Zhan and others, after all, Sky Pavilion’s reputation is now known, and as Wang Zhan is the master of Sky Pavilion, many people are likely seeking to cause him trouble.

It’s like the saying, "A man dreads fame as a pig dreads fattening."

Zhao Feiyu, on the other hand, started searching again with a smile, saying, "Since we can even find battle tactics here, it proves there must be other good things too. It must be said, this old man indeed has a rich collection. Even in the sea domain, I’ve rarely seen so many things, truly remarkable..."

The Sword Spirit beside him received the topic, shaking his head with a smile, speaking lightly: "Others might not know the old man’s identity, but I’m quite familiar with it. When I followed my first master, I heard stories about the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion. Back then, the ancestor was a dominant force in his area, and I can tell this guy’s strength is terrifying. At the time, few dared to face off against the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion."

"Impossible, right? I think that guy is really weak, even you can easily beat him, let alone thousands of years ago? There must have been many top experts before. I heard before the Deity-Demon War began, the state on the Star War Battlefield was far different, and those experts perished in that war. If not, how could the Star War Battlefield become what it is now?"

Zhao Feiyu quickly added a couple of sentences.

But the Sword Spirit simply shook his head, speaking indifferently: "Things aren’t as simple as you think. The ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion has reached a bottleneck now, and I can sense that he was probably trying to break through to a higher realm before we encountered him, but his strength was somewhat affected, which created opportunities for us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to easily defeat him..."

Of course, if they hadn’t picked up on these openings, how could they easily handle the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion?

After all, the strength of the ancestor is substantial. Even for them, it’s not easy to contend with him.

Zhao Feiyu then nodded slightly, squinting his eyes and continuing to say, "In that case, it seems we’ve gotten lucky, so there’s no need to waste time. Let’s continue searching here to see if we can find something better, and then return to Sky Pavilion quickly to hand over the formation techniques to everyone. I’m also curious if this formation technique is as terrifying as the legends say."

Everyone nodded along, naturally not saying much more.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and his group resumed their search here, but apart from some elixirs, there was nothing else, so they didn’t linger.

Half an hour later, they exited out of the secret passage, seeing the already deserted Returning Cloud Pavilion. Zhao Feiyu then asked, "What shall we do now? Should we destroy this place or keep this building?"

Wang Zhan tapped his head lightly with his fingers, then smiled and said, "Given there’s no one here anymore, and this place is so large, if someone else occupies it, a new Sect will likely form soon. And since Returning Cloud Pavilion has fallen, nearby forces might make significant moves, so it’s best to destroy it directly to avoid trouble..."

The Fire Qilin next to him smiled with pursed lips, slowly raising his palm, unleashing energy fluctuations that spread from his palm. With a loud crash, the building of Returning Cloud Pavilion collapsed.

In a turn, it was gone completely.

Wang Zhan couldn’t help but shake his head, looking at the Fire Qilin beside him, and then said softly, "It seems your strength has improved again. If given more time, even the Sword Spirit may not be your match. You will naturally become the top expert by my side, and I hope you’ll be grateful and won’t leave when that time comes..."

But the Fire Qilin just rolled his eyes at Wang Zhan, fully aware of the bond between him and Wang Zhan, having gone through many life-and-death battles. Without Wang Zhan by his side, he might not have survived to this day.

After all, during his juvenile period, Wang Zhan took him under his care, nurturing him attentively. Without Wang Zhan’s help, he wouldn’t have lived this long.

And although the Spirit Beasts are fierce by nature, they repay kindness, as does the Fire Qilin.

Upon hearing Wang Zhan’s words, a trace of displeasure swept across his face, and he said, "Where do you get so much nonsense from? Besides, if I really wanted to leave, do you think you could stop me with your means?"

Wang Zhan sighed helplessly, shaking his head and saying, "Looking back, it seems I was indulging in foolish sentiment. Had I known, I wouldn’t have given you that bead. If your strength hadn’t reached this level, you might be more controllable, perhaps you’d listen to me. But now, I have no way to threaten or control you, truly vexing..."

Sword Spirit and Zhao Feiyu exchanged looks, then chuckled together.

Actually, they both could see the great companionship between Wang Zhan and the Fire Qilin. Although Wang Zhan was joking, the sentiment was mutual with the Fire Qilin.

In the blink of an eye, they set off toward Sky Pavilion, as returning there quickly was a priority.

Wang Zhan was constantly concerned for Zuo Linglong. Injured now, if he couldn’t see her soon, he worried her condition might worsen, and if he couldn’t see her one last time, the pain would be unbearable...

After half a day of traveling, they made it back into Sky Pavilion.

Looking around, Sky Pavilion was entirely harmonious, especially compared to other Sects, with a distinctly friendly environment. Everyone cared for one another, so there was little to worry about. Even with Wang Zhan away for a long time, there was no concern for dissent within Sky Pavilion, as everyone was focused on strengthening themselves rather than forming factions, and importantly, they were all loyal to Wang Zhan.

This is what Wang Zhan found most reassuring.

As Wang Zhan and the others entered the Great Hall, those who got the news quickly gathered.

Looking at those sitting around him, Wang Zhan scanned them with his gaze.

"Brother Wang, you’re finally back. We heard that the strength of Returning Cloud Pavilion shouldn’t be underestimated, so we were all worried about you. But if you were truly surrounded, we certainly wouldn’t just stand by; we’d join you swiftly to help you out of trouble, but it seems we overthought everything."

Xiang Tian spoke first, showing closeness to Wang Zhan, and of course, Luo Xue nearby always had her eyes on Wang Zhan, as if worried he’d be hurt.

But Wang Zhan maintained a serene demeanor, his expression unchanged, clearly unaffected by this mission.

He smiled softly, surveying those gathered, saying, "Actually, it wasn’t as tough as you thought, and the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion’s power had weakened to some extent, maybe a chance from above. So this time going to Returning Cloud Pavilion wasn’t problematic."

Wang Zhan shifted his gaze onto the Fire Qilin beside him, smiling warmly as he said, "Solving this and dealing with the ancestor entirely came down to this guy here. His power exceeded my expectations, and even the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion was no match for him. So in the end, I stood back, watching, and handled nothing myself."

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to the Fire Qilin, their expressions curious.

None had met the Fire Qilin before and weren’t aware of his identity, but since he handled the powerful ancestor, his formidable skills were evident, potentially surpassing even Wang Zhan.

Feng Tianci at the side squinted slightly. While others might not know the Fire Qilin’s strength, he could see it clearly.
