Getting Stronger By Fighting

Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction, his gaze already falling back on the man in front of him. Merely retrieving Xiang Tian was far from enough.

Wang Zhan spoke again, "Where are my other friends? Where are they all now?"

The man beside him slightly furrowed his brows, hesitating for quite a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "They have already entered the Divine Temple. I suppose they must be engaging with the Divine Beast right now. I can sense that someone seems to have already alerted the Divine Beast, but I must advise you not to go there. The power of that Divine Beast is far beyond your imagination. Once you encounter those Divine Beasts, I believe you would certainly not survive..."

"Even though you have the Poseidon’s Trident in your hand, for the Divine Beast, it doesn’t even regard the Trident seriously. Besides, given your strength, you can’t possibly wield the full power of Poseidon’s Trident, so it doesn’t pose too much of a threat to the Divine Beast. Therefore, I hope you would consider this carefully..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan’s face immediately turned a bit more unpleasant.

In an instant, he tightly clenched his fists, then spoke word by word, "You mean to say, there’s actually a Divine Temple in there? And there’s even a guardian beast inside?"

Although they had carried out a simple exploration of the entire space earlier, they found nothing unusual. But as Wang Zhan and others entered it, Wang Zhan remembered that the Fire Qilin once mentioned there was a very powerful aura here, but it wasn’t clear what it was. Could it be the Divine Beast this man speaks of now?

The man continued, "Of course, that is the allure of this place. If you can enter and obtain the treasure within the Divine Temple, naturally you could become the foremost in the sea domain, with power far beyond anyone’s imagination. That is the allure here, but if you encounter the Divine Beast, even with your current cultivation, I doubt you could easily escape from it..."

"Alright, take us to the Divine Temple first."

Wang Zhan spoke bluntly.

The man beside him suddenly widened his eyes and quickly asked, "Didn’t I just tell you, there is a Divine Beast within the Divine Temple. If you rashly enter, you surely won’t be able to leave so easily. It’s best not to go to that place; I’ve been advising you out of goodwill..."

Whoosh!

Instantly, Wang Zhan’s face turned a lot more unpleasant. He grabbed the man’s collar, pulling him toward himself, then spoke word by word, "Stop telling me this useless nonsense. My friends are in that so-called Divine Temple right now. Can I just abandon my friends here and leave? Even if you could do such a thing, I am different from you!"

"No matter when, I will never abandon my companions beside me!"

Wang Zhan’s voice was chilling, yet he was speaking absolute truth.

After all, he came here with several people, so no matter what consideration it might be, he must be with them.

Additionally, the Fire Qilin and the Sword Spirit both came out of concern for his safety, so how could Wang Zhan leave just like that and not feel guilty?

The man beside him hesitated for a moment, ultimately nodding.

Wang Zhan had Poseidon’s Trident, and although he was certainly no match for the Divine Beast, he could easily kill him, so naturally, he dared not neglect Wang Zhan.

In the next moment, Wang Zhan spoke again, "Right, I’m curious why you exist here? Who exactly are you to be present in this space?"

Previously, Wang Zhan and others had come to this strange space.

Everywhere was filled with strange formation techniques, and even Wang Zhan and the others could have easily fallen into their traps. Although given time, Wang Zhan could break the formation and escape, that doesn’t mean others could remain here.

After all, this was above the sea domain, so there was some pressure. If not belonging to the sea domain, it would naturally be extremely difficult to stay here long-term.

Even if people from the sea domain stayed here, it would still bring considerable trouble to themselves.

So Wang Zhan doubted the man’s identity.

The man squinted slightly, hesitated for a while, and then continued, "I’m from this sea domain, so I understand everything about it, but I once entered it to take the treasure in the Divine Temple. Unexpectedly, I was controlled by the Divine Beast, and it planted a deadly poison in me, which no one but the beast can cure, so I could only obey it and became its servant..."

At the end of the story, the man’s face turned much more unpleasant.

He appeared genuinely bitter.

After all, who would willingly become someone else’s pawn?

And Wang Zhan squinted slightly, speaking with disdain, "If you don’t want to be used, why not end it all? Isn’t your life in your own hands? Even though that Divine Beast is powerful, I think you should definitely be able to commit suicide, right?"

The man hesitated, the corners of his mouth forming a bitter smile.

Ultimately, he just didn’t dare.

"Alright, take me to the Divine Temple first. The priority is to reunite with my friends, nothing else matters, and it doesn’t make a difference who you really are."

Wang Zhan said lightly, ignoring the man in front of him.

The man quickly nodded, although he couldn’t discern Wang Zhan’s identity, he knew Wang Zhan’s terrifying aspects. Wang Zhan could even wield Poseidon’s Trident, yet he wasn’t from the sea domain, proving he had incredible abilities, otherwise he couldn’t accomplish such a feat.

Thinking of this, the man quickly agreed while leading the way for Wang Zhan and his companions.

As time flew by, Wang Zhan and his group entered a new space.

Undeniably, this ruin was indeed strange, no matter where you went, there was a barrier everywhere. With some understanding of this place, perhaps one could leave safely, but without any knowledge, the consequences were dire, possibly even getting trapped in some formation and never getting out.

Realizing this, Xiang Tian shook his head, clearly a bit scared.

If he wasn’t following Wang Zhan, he wasn’t sure if he could leave here safely.

His gaze fell upon Wang Zhan, and he whispered softly, "Brother Wang, do you believe this guy? I think he doesn’t seem reliable, and his eyes are always avoiding ours. I suspect he’s hiding something from us, so we should be cautious, as there is danger everywhere here, and we can’t afford to be tricked by this bastard..."

Wang Zhan nodded, saying nothing more.

He knew in his heart, having stayed on the Star War Battlefield for some time, he had a basic understanding of everything here. Plus, he wasn’t a simple person, so how could he be deceived?

Wang Zhan’s gaze shifted back to the man in front, speaking slowly, "How far is the ruins you mentioned from here? How long until we reach the Divine Temple?!"

Evidently, Wang Zhan was growing a bit impatient.

The man quickly returned to Wang Zhan’s side respectfully. Though he hadn’t heard what Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian were saying, from Xiang Tian’s look, it was clear Xiang Tian didn’t trust him much.

He swallowed and promptly said, "Sir, we will reach the Divine Temple area soon. You should reunite with your friends then. I can sense they are always trapped in the Divine Temple, and it seems they’ve already fought the Divine Beast. If we don’t hurry, it’s not very beneficial for us..."

"If we delay a bit, it’s likely I won’t reunite with your companions in my heart..."

Wang Zhan nodded slightly. Though he didn’t trust the man’s words, following him to the Divine Temple first was necessary.

And Wang Zhan was curious about what this so-called Divine Temple was?

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and his group set out again, their speed astonishing, quickly reaching the Divine Temple.

Before them was a resplendent temple; clearly, the man wasn’t lying.

But there was no sound of battle, nor any sign of fighting.

To Wang Zhan’s shock, the temple was more splendid than he had imagined.

He glanced at the man beside him, asking, "Where are my friends?"

"You should know the consequences of deceiving me!"
