Getting Stronger By Fighting

"There’s no need for formalities between us."

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a slight smile before he continued, "Just put your heart at ease. During this period, focus on recuperating your body, and get well soon so that you can be my right-hand person. I’m counting on you to help me in refining some higher-level elixirs, and ultimately this task will be entirely entrusted to you."

"I have already decided that when you recover, I’ll establish a branch for you to cultivate talents who can refine elixirs for us in the future. You’ll definitely be the head of this branch, so you need to work hard. After all, you’ve already reached the same level as Dong Tianlei and the others. Of course, this is not due to any special treatment, but because of your outstanding abilities."

Wang Zhan knew very well that Zuo Linglong’s talent for alchemy was exceptional, and if utilized correctly, she could provide significant support for him.

Moreover, this incident might also benefit Zuo Linglong in some way. It’s normal for young people to have sharp edges. Wang Zhan was once like this too. If it weren’t for constantly facing obstacles, how could his strength have advanced so quickly? Through numerous life-and-death decisions, he had gained a lot of understanding.

But this is different for everyone. Even Xiang Tian couldn’t achieve it initially. After receiving the White Tiger Venerable’s legacy, perhaps because the Venerable was too powerful and at the end of his strength, all his negative emotions transferred into Xiang Tian and affected him significantly, changing Xiang Tian’s disposition greatly.

No matter the case, Wang Zhan won’t carelessly concern himself with these matters. He will find a way to gradually balance Xiang Tian’s condition. However, Wang Zhan can feel that Xiang Tian has changed dramatically.

Presumably, in the upcoming period, Xiang Tian will undergo a qualitative change, and those innate anger issues will soon disappear completely.

On the other hand, when comparing Zuo Linglong with Xiang Tian, there is a noticeable difference. Although their abilities aren’t on the same absolute level, Zuo Linglong’s talent and temperament are far superior to Xiang Tian’s. Additionally, Wang Zhan can sense that Xiang Tian has hit a bottleneck. If he doesn’t handle his disposition well, it’ll cause trouble for him in the future, so careful consideration is necessary.

After various deliberations, Wang Zhan came to the decision to establish an elixir refining branch for Zuo Linglong.

Zuo Linglong remained immersed in joy, excitedly clenched his fist, and turned his gaze back to Wang Zhan, then continued, "Master, I will remember all the great kindness and benevolence you’ve shown me. Even if everyone around you were to leave, I would never abandon you and will always stay by your side, no matter what. Even if the sky crumbles and the earth cracks, I’ll unconditionally stand by you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly and responded softly, "Can’t you wish for something good for me? While outsiders might not know whether these people around me will leave, you surely know, don’t you?"

"Now that you’re one of my old comrades, you should have a certain understanding of the people inside Tian Pavilion. There are countless stories between us, and we have faced numerous life-and-death battles. Even if that day truly comes, they won’t leave easily. They will join me in fighting side by side, just like you."

This is something Wang Zhan is very clear about.

It’s not just his mere wishful thinking, but has truly happened several times in the past, yet everyone didn’t show any sign of retreat. Regardless of the formidable enemies they encounter, they remain loyal to Wang Zhan, unwavering in their resolve.

This is what brings Wang Zhan the greatest comfort.

Beside him, Zuo Linglong smiled and nodded, continuing to say, "I was just joking, so why take it so seriously? While everyone will stick by your side, eventually, there may be a time to part. I can sense that Tian Pavilion is not your final resting place, and with your ambition, surely you aim to be a champion on the Star War Battlefield. I believe one day you’ll leave..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan fell into a momentary hesitation.

He didn’t speak immediately.

No doubt, Zuo Linglong saw through his thoughts. Indeed, Wang Zhan harbors such intentions; he doesn’t really possess leadership skills and, more importantly, he doesn’t want to lead a group since he has countless matters to handle, and managing all these individuals becomes quite a hassle.

Plus, the varying strengths of Tian Pavilion members naturally influence Wang Zhan to a certain extent.

To Wang Zhan’s surprise, Zuo Linglong, being the youngest, was the first to notice this clearly, proving without a doubt that his idea was correct. Compared to everyone in Tian Pavilion, Zuo Linglong is much smarter, always considering things comprehensively. With Zuo Linglong stationed in Tian Pavilion, Wang Zhan doesn’t need to worry much about anything.

Zuo Linglong then approached Wang Zhan, noticing his change in expression. Smiling, he said, "Master, you don’t need to burden yourself so much mentally, as everyone has their own aspirations. I believe when that day truly comes, no one will hold you back deliberately..."

"But I hope Master can maintain absolute combat power, as although I haven’t encountered the top powerhouses on the Star War Battlefield, I’ve heard people around mention it. This place is not as simple as you imagine, and there are countless formidable individuals here, and not even Feng Tianci can match them."

"While I hope my Master becomes stronger, ultimately becoming the first on the Star War Battlefield, I also fear something might happen to you, for it would bring me immense pain..."

"After all, I survived only because of your help. Without your presence, I wouldn’t know where I’d be now..."

Naturally, Zuo Linglong isn’t joking or flattering Wang Zhan; everything he said is true.

Wang Zhan nodded, conceding that this is indeed a poignant matter, and he hasn’t made any such decisions, especially considering his current strength hasn’t reached a stable point for dominating the Star War Battlefield. Thus, he’ll continue staying at Tian Pavilion with everyone, ensuring plenty of time to bond and account for the unpredictable future. If Tian Pavilion members continue to improve, possibly surpassing him, he will reconsider this idea.

Shifting his gaze, Wang Zhan spoke with a smile, "Alright, since you’re still not fully recovered, I won’t keep chatting idly with you. For now, prioritize healing, and once you’re fully restored, I’ll handle the affairs for you and quickly establish the elixir refining branch."

Zuo Linglong nodded heavily.

Although eager to immediately agree, his body needs tending, as exerting himself would affect his recovery. Deliberating deeply, it seems unwise to rashly consent to Wang Zhan; hence at this moment, he can’t undertake anything substantial to assist him.

Since everything’s arranged, Wang Zhan didn’t stay in Zuo Linglong’s room, mindful of the differing genders and their mentor-student relationship to avoid awkward gossip.

Soon, Wang Zhan stepped into the Great Hall.

With everyone engrossed in training formation techniques, the hall appeared sparse.

However, Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit remained seated together, evidently waiting for Wang Zhan.

Spotting them, Wang Zhan smiled gently and inquired, "Weren’t you both resting in your rooms? Why are you back? Is there an issue with your rooms due to infrequent use?"

"If that’s the case, you should contact Dong Tianlei promptly, as all affairs within Tian Pavilion currently fall under Dong Tianlei’s purview, including minor ones like this."
