Getting Stronger By Fighting

The corners of Dong Tianlei’s mouth revealed a faint smile, and he immediately spoke, "Everything will proceed exactly as you intend. Rest assured, all upcoming matters will be handled properly, and you don’t need to worry about a thing. You just need to keep your mind at ease."

In fact, Wang Zhan naturally preferred being a hands-off manager, and he didn’t want to intervene in other matters. If those around him could manage everything properly, it would certainly benefit Wang Zhan greatly.

He could focus entirely on enhancing his own cultivation, as other responsibilities weren’t as important to him.

After exchanging a few brief words, Wang Zhan began heading toward the back mountain.

Although the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit were already in seclusion at the back mountain, the spaciousness there made Wang Zhan eager to find a quiet place to stay and quickly enhance his strength, making the back mountain an excellent choice.

In a flash, Wang Zhan arrived at the back mountain, while those inside the Sky Pavilion had already started tending to their business, as each had their roles and needs to address.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this time, everyone in the Sky Pavilion had been striving diligently, while Wang Zhan continually focused on enhancing his strength. Though he would occasionally emerge from the back mountain to check on everyone’s progress, the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit remained elusive, as if they had vanished in the back mountain.

But Wang Zhan and the two were mentally connected, so even without seeing them, Wang Zhan could sense their presence, proving they were still working hard to improve their cultivation. Naturally, Wang Zhan thought it best not to disturb them, as their growth provided him with great benefits, contributing significantly to his overall stratagem. Even when faced with formidable opponents, he would still have the strength to fight.

That day, as Wang Zhan emerged from the back mountain, he saw Dong Tianlei striding towards him.

During this time, Xuan Yu had also managed his own matters, and now, everything at Sky Pavilion rested on his shoulders, so everyone entrusted him to handle it.

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze surveying those present, then he smiled and said, "I haven’t seen such a gathering of people in a long time. Tell me, what is going on? Why is everyone assembled today?"

In the Great Hall, Xiang Tian and others were already seated, each with a mysterious smile that couldn’t escape Wang Zhan’s observant eyes.

Wang Zhan monitored their expressions, awaiting their response.

Exchanging glances, a few of them smiled, after which Dong Tianlei stood up, walked to Wang Zhan’s side, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, during your closed-off state, we didn’t inform you about the formation techniques. But now that everyone is here, I won’t conceal it further. The formation matters have been handled, successfully refined, and it’s ready for optimal use. So, would Mr. Wang like to test its power?"

The eyes of those present brightened, turning towards Wang Zhan.

A shallow smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips. After stroking his chin, he chuckled, "I’m also curious to see how far everyone has progressed. Naturally, I wish to examine this formation’s power, so I’ll be the first to try it. Shall we go see it now?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, following Wang Zhan’s lead.

In an instant, Wang Zhan and the others walked out of the Great Hall.

On the plaza outside the Great Hall, the crowd had already gathered, evidently awaiting Wang Zhan’s arrival.

After all, they had practiced the formation for years, aiming to boost their collective strength and assist Wang Zhan significantly. Should Wang Zhan’s strength have progressed, it would affirm their purpose, ensuring they wouldn’t be ousted from Sky Pavilion.

With this in mind, their eyes sparkled once more, seemingly eager for Wang Zhan to make his move.

Xiang Tian and the others took their seats quietly on the side, observing the event.

Dong Tianlei glanced at Wang Zhan, and with a smile said, "Mr. Wang, you must know how formidable this formation is, so proceed cautiously, lest you bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself. You are the core for everyone; if you fail this time, it won’t be beneficial, potentially affecting your dignity."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head. Though aware of the formation’s immense power, capable of uniting everyone’s fighting strength for personal use, he remained unfazed.

His prowess was evident, and over time, he had developed a synergy with Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor. Initially, he couldn’t fully utilize their true potential, but after merging, things were sorted out smoothly.

Now, he skillfully navigated with Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor.

Nodding, Wang Zhan watched Dong Tianlei approach the group, issuing some instructions.

While arrangements were underway, Wang Zhan sat with some companions, glancing at Xiang Tian beside him with a smile as he asked, "Judging from your demeanor, I gather you’ve tested your skills against everyone here, right?"

Luo Xue and others likely focused on enhancing their abilities and managing their affairs daily, yet Xiang Tian, as a true combatant, would undoubtedly seek early opportunities to experience—the formation’s rumored terrifying power.

Xiang Tian scratched his head awkwardly, smiling helplessly, "Do you really see me as so unreliable, Brother Wang? Though aware of the formation’s formidable power, I haven’t recklessly provoked them. I recognize their strength, and if truly at Dong Tianlei’s command, the formation’s terrifying power far surpasses my imagination. You might contend against them, but I lack the ability..."

Admittedly, Xiang Tian possessed a strong self-awareness.

Wang Zhan was momentarily stunned, then turned another glance at Xiang Tian, sensing a significant change in him.

Luo Xue, seemingly aware of Wang Zhan’s thoughts, shook his head with a smile, "Brother Wang finds it odd, huh? Why has he suddenly turned so humble? Actually, you guessed right earlier, Xiang Tian did challenge Dong Tianlei’s group upon the formation’s completion. Despite Dong Tianlei not utilizing the full array power, nor having present numbers, Xiang Tian lost..."

"That alone speaks volumes about the formation’s fearsome nature!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly.

He had surmised, despite any margin for error with others, he wouldn’t misjudge Xiang Tian.

Though unsure of others’ thoughts, he accurately understood Xiang Tian’s mindset, aspired beyond merely mastering techniques. He sought parity with peers, frequently clashing to assess rivals’ capabilities, thereby determining his position in Sky Pavilion’s hierarchy.

Nonetheless, such desires offer substantial benefits, perpetually driving self-improvement while maintaining peak form.

With these musings, Wang Zhan focused on Xiang Tian, smiling, "I knew you’d seize the earliest opportunity to probe the formation’s strength. Now that it’s over, care to share your insights?"

As Luo Xue had exposed him, Xiang Tian readily laughed, "Indeed, the formation proves extremely daunting. Allied with others, even I couldn’t endure long against them. This formation holds unique value; who knew those less skilled than I would collectively wield such devastating power..."

"Yet, Brother Wang must exercise caution. Initially, only a fraction engaged, and even then, I was overwhelmed. Now, everyone’s present, so vigilance is wise. They wouldn’t harm you easily, but losing here would be embarrassing..."
