Getting Stronger By Fighting

The Fire Qilin didn’t bother with him any further, then walked off to the side and quietly stood guard for Wang Zhan.

Zuo Linglong also stopped asking questions and just sat quietly to the side.

Time passed, second by second.

One month...

Two months...

...

This deathly silence continued for a full half year.

That day, Zuo Linglong glanced at Wang Zhan impatiently, then frowned and said, "How much longer are we going to keep this up? Are we really going to just keep waiting here?"

"What exactly is Master doing? Why has there been no news for so long? If he keeps this up, I’ll start thinking he’s died sitting in meditation..."

Throughout this half year, Zuo Linglong had stayed by the Fire Qilin’s side, but thankfully the time hadn’t been completely wasted.

After all, with the Fire Qilin’s help, his strength had advanced rapidly.

That was also somewhat beneficial for him.

But even so, no one wants to be trapped in a cave forever.

The Fire Qilin was pacing back and forth as well, a trace of anxiety appearing in his pupils. He stared at Wang Zhan for quite a while before finally speaking slowly: "What on earth is going on?"

"Why has so much time already passed, yet he still shows no sign of waking up? According to my earlier assessment, they should have woken up long ago, so what exactly is the situation now?"

Obviously, even the Fire Qilin couldn’t make sense of the current situation.

After all, far too much time was being wasted.

Just as the two were talking, they saw Wang Zhan, wrapped in that white radiance, slowly move, and then he walked out from within the light screen.

Moreover, the injuries on his body had fully healed.

His strength had once again received a certain boost.

Seeing this, the eyes of both the Fire Qilin and Zuo Linglong lit up, and the two of them hurried to stand in front of Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan’s lips curved into a faint smile. Looking at the two in front of him, he chuckled and said, "What’s with you two? You look awfully excited."

"Of course we are."

Zuo Linglong immediately snapped, "Do you have any idea how long you’ve been in seclusion here? If you didn’t wake up soon, the Fire Qilin and I were seriously thinking of breaking into the light and dragging you out!"

Hearing that, Wang Zhan only shook his head with a smile and didn’t reply.

In the next instant, Wang Zhan turned his head, and from within that light screen another figure slowly walked out.

The moment they saw that person, the Fire Qilin and Zuo Linglong exchanged a glance, their eyes simultaneously widening.

"This is..."

Wang Zhan took hold of the figure emerging from the light screen, then smiled and introduced, "Let me introduce her to you two first—this is the Sword Spirit."

Now, the Sword Spirit already possessed a physical body, and her strength even far surpassed both Wang Zhan and the Fire Qilin.

After all, her body was forged from a Glaze Crystal Body, and her heart was a Divine Heart.

Whether the Glaze Crystal Body or the Divine Heart, both were sacred treasures Between heaven and earth. A body forged with these two things was naturally not something ordinary experts could compete with.

"I didn’t expect you to actually succeed. And I can clearly feel that Sister Sword Spirit’s power seems incredibly formidable—looks like even the Fire Qilin isn’t her equal, right?"

Zuo Linglong clenched his fists in excitement, then hurriedly went on, "If we run into Luo Junce or Song Tianyang again, we won’t need to worry anymore. With Sister Sword Spirit, plus your strength, I bet we can definitely stand against the two of them!"

"This is great. Once we return Inside Tian Pavilion, we can go challenge Tianyin Gate and completely wash away our past humiliation!"

Though Song Tianyang was indeed hateful, the one even more deserving of hatred was Luo Junce.

If Luo Junce hadn’t taken advantage of the situation, how would he have driven them into such a dead end?

And back then, Wang Zhan’s strength had already been greatly affected, and he was seriously injured. If Wang Zhan hadn’t recovered through the Glaze Crystal Body and Divine Heart, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As soon as she thought of this, Zuo Linglong spoke directly: "Then let’s not keep wasting time here. I believe everyone Inside Tian Pavilion must be waiting for our news. We might as well hurry back to meet up with them, so they don’t worry too much!"

Wang Zhan just nodded. In fact, during this period, his consciousness had long since awakened, and he even knew everything that was happening around him.

But he still had to hide inside the light screen, just to wait for the Sword Spirit to fully shape his body.

Looking at it now, everything seemed to be developing exactly in the direction he wanted.

The Sword Spirit walked up to Wang Zhan, bowed respectfully to him, then spoke with a face full of gratitude: "If it weren’t for your help, how could I possibly have a complete body now? How could my strength have reached this level?"

"Let alone be able to feel this world!"

"In the end, you’re my benefactor."

Wang Zhan just waved his hand. After patting the Sword Spirit on the shoulder, he continued, "There’s no need to say all that between us. I’ve already told you, if your strength can be raised to a certain level, that’s good for both of us. After all, I still need your help right now."

"So rather than saying I’m helping you, it’s more accurate to say I’m helping myself."

Although Wang Zhan said that, the Sword Spirit understood very well in his heart that he owed Wang Zhan a huge favor.

In fact, whether it was the Glaze Crystal Body or the Divine Heart, they were of great help to Wang Zhan. And of course it wasn’t just him; this would be the case for most people.

But what the Sword Spirit had never expected was that Wang Zhan would actually hand over the Divine Heart and Glaze Crystal Body to him without hesitation, and even forge a body for him.

Such a favor was not something that could be explained clearly in just a few words.

"Alright."

Wang Zhan said with a smile, "Now that everything has been properly settled, this is a pretty good outcome for us. Naturally we should be a bit happier and stop dwelling on these things."

"Since everyone’s in such high spirits, let’s not keep wasting time here. We’ll pack up a bit and then hurry back to Inside Tian Pavilion to meet up with them."

All of them nodded; they were already thinking along the same lines as Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan walked over to the Fire Qilin’s side. After patting the Fire Qilin on the shoulder, he said with a smile, "These past days really have troubled you. If you hadn’t stayed by my side the whole time, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

"Besides, we would’ve been disturbed by a lot of people, and more importantly, Zuo Linglong’s strength wouldn’t have advanced rapidly."

His gaze shifted, and Wang Zhan looked over at Zuo Linglong. "You might not have said anything, but I can tell at a glance that your strength has indeed improved greatly. And coupled with your extremely formidable means of refining elixirs, I believe it won’t be long before you truly become a powerhouse in your own right."

"More importantly, your personal strength now is already extremely formidable. I don’t think anyone will be able to make things difficult for you in the future. Even when we return Inside Tian Pavilion, your skills may very well have already surpassed Xiang Tian and Luo Xue."

Actually, even Wang Zhan himself wasn’t entirely sure in his heart.

He knew Xiang Tian and Luo Xue’s situation very well. They hadn’t contacted him for such a long time that he even worried the two of them might do something over the line.

Fortunately, there was Feng Tianci sitting in town, and everyone knew about the relationship between the two of them and himself, so there shouldn’t be any major mishaps.

Once he’d thought this through, the worries in Wang Zhan’s heart finally eased quite a bit.

Standing off to the side, Zuo Linglong folded his arms and walked to Wang Zhan’s side. The corner of his mouth lifted in a faint smile, and then he muttered on his own: "I thought you didn’t take me seriously at all."

"Looks like you’ve been secretly keeping an eye on me the whole time. That’s what makes you a good master."

Wang Zhan merely smiled and shook his head, but didn’t say anything.

In the blink of an eye, the few of them had already walked out the door.

At the same time, they sped off toward the direction of the Sky Pavilion.

After they’d gone some distance, Zuo Linglong’s gaze landed on the Sword Spirit. The next moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He lightly bumped the Sword Spirit’s shoulder, then asked with a grin, "Sister Sword Spirit, I hear your strength is formidable, and you’ve got both the Divine Heart and Glaze Crystal Body in your body. Your achievements in the future must be limitless."

"I wonder if you have any plans to take a disciple? If you do, I wouldn’t mind becoming your disciple! Don’t worry, I’ll be one hundred percent obedient and absolutely won’t cause you any trouble!"

"And with me at your side, whenever you need any elixirs, you just have to say the word. My current level in refining elixirs is definitely much stronger than Master’s. I’m guessing he’ll have to beg me in the future!"

Hearing this, the Sword Spirit shook her head with a smile, then patted Zuo Linglong on the head and said, "If you really have anything you need to ask, there’s no need to be so polite with me. We don’t need to address each other as master and disciple."

"But don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of you even better than I would my own disciple."

Zuo Linglong’s eyes lit up. He grabbed onto the Sword Spirit’s arm and repeatedly said, "I knew Sister Sword Spirit would definitely be much better than Master."

"Master is really stingy with me, but you’re different. This is what they call same-sex attraction!"
