Getting Stronger By Fighting

On the way, Zuo Linglong looked at Wang Zhan with a heart full of pain, then clenched her fists and said, "Master, can your body really bear this?"

"If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to ask me. I owe all I am today to your help; otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how to refine an elixir and improve my cultivation skills. You are my benefactor."

Wang Zhan kept his eyes closed, lacking even the strength to speak now.

He could sense just how bad his physical condition was, but didn’t know what to do about it.

Upon hearing Zuo Linglong’s voice, to prevent her from continuing to worry, he spoke slowly, "Don’t worry. It’s just that I took some elixirs, causing severe complications; other injuries are just superficial wounds. Given time, I’ll recover."

Of course, though Wang Zhan said it simply, things weren’t that easy.

His injuries weren’t just superficial; his internal injuries were severe. At a critical moment, he had a direct clash with Luo Junce, and the most crucial was being hit by the snake tail of the Sky-suppressing Python. If not for its sudden attack, his condition wouldn’t be so dire...

Zuo Linglong, naturally understanding the complexity, nodded and continued speaking, "Master, rest assured. No matter what, I’ll unconditionally stand by you, definitely not holding you back."

"Plus, even if people from Tianyin Gate come to trouble us, so what? I definitely won’t let them have their way!"

Wang Zhan looked gratefully at Zuo Linglong, acknowledging that he indeed had good helpers around him, who provided strong support.

Not just Zuo Linglong; even Xiang Tian’s people were the same.

Although Xiang Tian had a volatile temper, he listened to Wang Zhan and Luo Xue, maintaining a certain big picture view, hence unlikely causing trouble.

Moreover, now Feng Tianci had returned to Sky Pavilion, adding stability. Everyone knew Feng Tianci’s prowess, his presence fortifying them, removing worries.

Now, Wang Zhan’s task was to swiftly restore his strength and stabilize his injuries.

While speaking, they arrived in a mountain forest.

After Fire Qilin set Wang Zhan down, it spoke, "I’ve driven away the nearby demonic beasts. Plus, with my aura here, nothing should approach. Just focus on your recovery; all safety concerns will be handled."

Wang Zhan looked gratefully at Fire Qilin but didn’t speak further.

Though they often bickered, Wang Zhan and Fire Qilin had an excellent relationship.

Standing aside, Zuo Linglong hurriedly approached Wang Zhan, pulling out numerous elixirs, and directly said, "Master, see if any of these elixirs I carry are useful?"

"If needed, I can refine elixirs here afresh. Though quality may be lacking, they should be somewhat effective."

Wang Zhan waved with a smile, not even glancing at the elixirs, and continued, "Don’t worry about me excessively. These elixirs aren’t much use to me, and I carry many well-made elixirs myself."

"But they can’t aid me since my current condition is due to elixirs. I must rely on myself to repair my meridians and expel residual effects."

He was serious because the elixirs he took earlier were too overpowering; they were supposed to be beneficial but unexpectedly had strong side effects, likely due to overlooked details during preparation.

Thinking about it now is too late; urgent tasks demand handling the present matters.

Suddenly, Wang Zhan’s gaze again focused on Fire Qilin, smiling and saying, "While helping me as protectors, ensure Zuo Linglong remains safe. Care for each other, and I’ll promptly rectify my health without you worrying excessively."

Fire Qilin and Zuo Linglong exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

Satisfied, Wang Zhan smiled, then sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, at Sky Pavilion.

After a day and night of rushing, everyone finally returned to Sky Pavilion.

Having received news, Xiang Tian quickly approached the doorway, his expression turning grim, focusing on Luo Xue’s group.

"What are you doing? Why go on such a mission without including me? Do you think I’m not one of you?"

After receiving the news, Xiang Tian wanted to immediately join Wang Zhan’s group, yet Dong Tianlei stood beside him, suppressing the matter; if not for Dong Tianlei’s constant obstruction, Xiang Tian would’ve likely left Sky Pavilion already.

"You’re injured; how could Brother Wang take you along?"

Luo Xue snapped.

Currently, everyone’s expression was grim, worried about Wang Zhan’s safety.

Despite safely returning to Sky Pavilion, they knew Wang Zhan hadn’t given it much thought.

But Xiang Tian was unaware, grabbing Luo Xue’s arm, gritting his teeth, saying, "Don’t preach these useless principles; do you think abandoning me here is right?"

"We’re united, even if injured. I won’t set us back; at worst, I’d die!"

People standing aside frowned, faces turning grim.

Nobody expected Xiang Tian’s attitude under such circumstances.

Truly exasperating.

Nearby, Luo Xue trembled with anger, suddenly lifted his hand, slapped Xiang Tian’s face, then coldly pointed at his nose, saying, "Can’t you mature a bit? Do you know what we’ve gone through?"

"We had a life-threatening battle. Without Brother Wang’s timely help, do you think we’d have escaped unscathed?"

"Importantly, despite suffering losses, haven’t you noticed Brother Wang isn’t with us?"

Upon hearing, Xiang Tian’s eyes widened; he scanned the surroundings, but indeed saw no trace of Wang Zhan. Instantly, he ignored his facial pain, asking, "Where’s Brother Wang? Wasn’t he with you? Where is he?"

Those just arrived from Sky Pavilion, including Dong Tianlei, curiously looked at Luo Xue.

Luo Xue self-deprecatingly smiled, saying, "This opponent was formidable; even Brother Wang suffered severe injuries, overwhelmed physically. On the way, he found a quiet spot for recovery; otherwise, he couldn’t have made it back..."

Upon hearing, Dong Tianlei and Xiang Tian paled.

Who could imagine the always-victorious Wang Zhan facing such circumstances?

Indeed shocking.

Beside him, Luo Xue glared at Xiang Tian, "We faced heavy threats outside, yet you stir trouble here, clueless about what’s on your mind. Wouldn’t Brother Wang feel disheartened knowing this?"

"I..."

Xiang Tian realized his mistake.

Luo Xue ignored Xiang Tian, quickly shaking off his hand and walking swiftly towards Sky Pavilion.

Following Xiang Tian, the group hastily followed, promptly disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, Yan Tian and Dong Tianlei’s gazes landed on Xuan Yu’s hand.

Xuan Yu, standing quietly at the back, hadn’t intervened.

Seeing the situation calming, Dong Tianlei promptly asked, "How is Mr. Wang? Can he endure?"

"Should we send people to aid him? I believe staying in Sky Pavilion is safest..."

Xiang Tian concurred, "Indeed, Sky Pavilion holds many experts. If Brother Wang returns safely, we needn’t worry further."

"We lack no resources here; Brother Wang can fully restore his strength."

Xuan Yu smiled, saying, "I know you worry about Wang Zhan, but he’s fine, rest assured."
