Getting Stronger By Fighting

The Fire Qilin beside him also looked at Wang Zhan in surprise, clearly not understanding the meaning of his words.

Zuo Linglong, however, crossed his arms and walked over to Wang Zhan’s side. He eagerly pointed at the middle-aged man in front and then asked, "Master, do you recognize this guy?"

"It’s more than just recognizing."

A smirk appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. After patting the shoulder of the Fire Qilin beside him, he spoke indifferently, "It seems we really need to have a good fight today. Even if it means dying, we absolutely cannot let this guy go."

"Why?"

The Fire Qilin instinctively asked, then walked to Wang Zhan’s side and lowered his voice, speaking softly, "Although this man is already seriously injured, to completely kill him would also require a significant price from both you and me."

"I can sense that this man is a peak strongman. Even Feng Tianci at his best isn’t his match, let alone the two of us."

"So, unless absolutely necessary, it’s better not to confront him."

Heh...

The corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a cold smile. After cracking his neck, he locked his gaze onto the man once more and said coldly, "But I have reasons that compel me to act."

"This man before us is the one who stole the Divine Heart from the ruins back then. I never thought we would meet again here. Back then, he could completely crush me and Li Du, but isn’t it poetic justice that he’s heavily injured now?"

"Could this perhaps be the best opportunity Heaven has granted us?"

The moment he heard about the Divine Heart, the Fire Qilin’s eyes lit up. He licked his lips before speaking calmly, "I didn’t expect there to be such a connection between you?"

"Given the circumstances, we certainly can’t let him take the Divine Heart away for free."

"It’s clear that this man is quite greedy. Since he already has the Divine Heart, what need does he have for the Glaze Crystal Body? What’s he planning, to breakthrough some realm?"

"One shouldn’t be too greedy; otherwise, it’s like weaving one’s own cocoon, just like now."

Wang Zhan nodded excitedly, having made up his mind. If the man before him were at his peak, he might not dare to confront him head-on, but he never expected that the man was already seriously injured. Together with the Fire Qilin, they might have a chance to defeat him. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan walked right up to the man. After a disdainful snort, he said indifferently, "You probably didn’t expect us to meet again here, did you?"

The man had been healing all along. It wasn’t until he heard footsteps approaching that he slowly opened his eyes. After glancing at Wang Zhan, he said indifferently, "I suppose you’re planning to reclaim the Divine Heart?"

"That was originally mine."

Wang Zhan crossed his arms and said, "Back in the ruins, we were up against many, and even cracked prohibitions to hold the Divine Heart. Who would’ve thought that you’d suddenly stand out and snatch the Divine Heart away? There’s indeed some hatred here."

"But since you took my thing, you must pay some price."

"I know you are injured now, so I won’t give you a hard time. If you return the Divine Heart to me and don’t plan on pursuing the Glaze Crystal Body, I’ll let you leave. How about that?"

The man glanced at Wang Zhan, a disdainful smile emerging on his lips. He shook his head before saying indifferently, "Kid, there’s no need to tease me here. Even though I’m seriously injured, it’s only due to the backlash of the Glaze Crystal Body, and after calming myself for so long, it won’t be long before I recover."

"But even if I don’t return to peak condition, killing you would be as simple as crushing an ant."

Heh...

Wang Zhan let out several cold laughs.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Fire Qilin already standing before the two of them. The Fire Qilin glanced at the man, then said indifferently, "I must admit, your strength indeed exceeds my expectations and shows some merit. But relying solely on this isn’t enough to pose any threat to me."

"I’ll be assisting Wang Zhan. I advise you to think carefully—can you, on your own, be our match?"

The moment he saw the Fire Qilin, the man was indeed a bit scared.

He could sense that the Fire Qilin emanated an extremely strong intimidation. At his peak, he might contend with the Fire Qilin, but now that he’s seriously injured, facing both the Fire Qilin and Wang Zhan would indeed be troublesome...

Thinking of this, the man frowned slightly. After looking at the distant giant Glaze Crystal Body, he finally said coldly, "I advise you not to act. If we fight here, we’ll inevitably damage the Glaze Crystal Body. Since we’re both here for it, why don’t we each step back?"

"Leave the Glaze Crystal Body to me, and I’ll return the Divine Heart I took from this kid to you. All things considered, you wouldn’t really be losing out?"

It’s undeniable; this man has laid a very shrewd plan.

To fully absorb the energy within the Divine Heart requires matching with it. The fact that he handed over the Divine Heart so readily proves he can’t fully integrate with it...

However, the Glaze Crystal Body is much easier to absorb. Even if given to Zuo Linglong, while it may not drastically increase his power, it will certainly yield significant benefits.

So, if this exchange goes through, Wang Zhan would clearly be at a disadvantage.

Most importantly, Wang Zhan’s desire for the Glaze Crystal Body isn’t just for himself; it’s primarily to help the Sword Spirit quickly form a body. So even at the cost of his life, he must acquire the Glaze Crystal Body.

Seeing Wang Zhan remain silent, the man then asked indifferently, "Have you made up your minds yet? Don’t waste my time. The Glaze Crystal Body is indeed a prize, but if you truly wish to fight to the bitter end, I’ll just destroy it. No one will get anything."

"At that point, you won’t have the Glaze Crystal Body, nor the Divine Heart. I believe you understand my intentions?"

Wang Zhan’s mouth twitched. This damned bastard...

Even at this stage, the man still had the gall to threaten him—truly ridiculous.

In an instant, Wang Zhan had already walked up to the man and said lightly, "We’re all adults here; I think you know what adults really think."

"How could adults make straightforward choices? Naturally, the Divine Heart is mine because it belongs to me. As for the Glaze Crystal Body before us, it’s a Genius Earth Treasure, a creation of Heaven and Earth, meant for the capable. If you can take it, it’s because you’re stronger. If not, then there’s nothing you can do."

"So spare me your useless talk. I not only want the Glaze Crystal Body but also the Divine Heart!"

In the next second, Wang Zhan’s aura suddenly erupted, and the Great Void Divine Sword was already in his hand. Clearly, he was fully prepared to have a showdown with the man before him.

He glanced back at Zuo Linglong behind him, and then quickly said, "Find a place to hide quietly; you don’t need to intervene. Remember, no matter what happens, don’t stand up to help."

Zuo Linglong nodded mechanically, knowing Wang Zhan was also protecting him.

The Fire Qilin had already moved to Wang Zhan’s side, gazing coldly at the man before them.

The man’s mouth twitched. His strength hadn’t fully recovered, so it’s uncertain if he could even match Wang Zhan right now. Any mistakes could worsen his state.

Thinking of this, the man frowned slightly. His gaze shifted to the Fire Qilin before quickly asking, "I don’t know what price he’s offering you, but it’s enough to get you to act on his behalf. Yet you should know how strong I am at my peak. If you help me, I can offer a satisfactory reward later."

"Moreover, you’ll receive a share of the Glaze Crystal Body and won’t face a loss."

The Fire Qilin let out a cold laugh, "Do you really take me for a fool? You’re only weak because of your injuries. Once you recover, none of us would be your match. How would you treat me then, if not just a word away?"

"But this kid beside me is different. I’m much stronger than him, so unless necessary, how could he possibly oppose me?"

"In short, he’s far easier to manage than you, so I won’t choose you as my ally!"

"Hand over the Divine Heart and leave, or die here!"
