Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 896 - 894: Testing Each Other

Xuan Yu’s face suddenly became unpleasant, and then he glanced back at the direction of the back mountain, slowly opening his mouth to say: "Does it look like someone is making a move over there?""Isn’t that the direction of the back mountain?"

Luo Xue slightly frowned and then clenched her fists, slowly saying: "Then we shouldn’t waste any more time here, I remember Brother Wang was heading toward the back mountain just now, could he have encountered a strong enemy?"

Xiang Tian’s lips revealed a faint smile, then said lightly: "I say, you two are a bit too tense."

"Have you forgotten who is in the back mountain right now?"

"I reckon that at this moment, Wang Zhan should have already crossed swords with him."

"Regardless of the reason, even if we rush over, we can’t be of much help, so it’s better to wait calmly here for news."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu and the others suddenly realized.

Xuan Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, saying: "If you hadn’t reminded me, I really would have forgotten. Feng Tianci has been in the back mountain, so I don’t think it’ll turn into a major conflict, they’re likely just having a little sparring match..."

At once, the whole sequence of events became clear.

Luo Xue, standing beside him, also laughed, "We really are overly tense."

"After all, given the major events just now, we’ve been strained all along with no time to think through everything."

"But didn’t expect you, it’s quite interesting that the one who always initiates fights has such a meticulous mind, this time finding the crux of the matter. It seems Brother Wang’s return has also improved someone’s intellect."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian clenched his fists, while Luo Xue didn’t continue the chatter and retreated to the side.

Meanwhile, Dong Tianlei, who was sitting on the side, slightly squinted his eyes, also looked at the direction of the back mountain, and then murmured to himself: "Seems there are experts hidden in the back mountain, no wonder Wang Zhan is fearless, delaying for so long without appearing. Initially thought it was because he was entangled by some issues, but now it seems it’s because there are masters guarding so he has no worries."

For a moment, Dong Tianlei’s expression became much more unpleasant.

He has encountered some sense of crisis.

Inside the back mountain.

After a brief encounter between Wang Zhan and Feng Tianci, the outcome was already clear.

Although Feng Tianci didn’t go all out, Wang Zhan was already somewhat unable to sustain.

After Wang Zhan retreated several steps, he waved toward Feng Tianci and then said: "I won’t fight with you anymore, though I’m fond of battles, I also see the gap between us clearly. To bridge this gap, I probably need some more training!"

Feng Tianci shook his head with a smile.

"Gotta say, reaching such heights at a young age distinguishes you from ordinary people, considering the whole Star War Battlefield, nobody among the younger generation seems to be your match, given time, maybe even I couldn’t be compared with you, truly terrifying indeed."

Wang Zhan ignored his praise.

After all, time waits for no man; if he encounters experts now, he’ll be wiped out in an instant.

So what if he’s praised by the opposition?

Talent is never scarce in this world.

Wang Zhan looked at the direction down the mountain, slowly opening his mouth: "Seems the commotion from us has startled everyone down the mountain, should I take you down there to meet and greet?"

Feng Tianci hurriedly waved his hand, saying: "Please don’t take me to meet those pointless people, I have no good feelings towards them, and even meeting them, what’s the point?"

"Just hearing their hollow flattery, I’ve long gotten used to it."

"It’s already somewhat boring."

Wang Zhan observed his demeanor without speaking further.

Of course, Wang Zhan has his own thoughts indeed.

He just wants to use Feng Tianci to intimidate these people, nothing more.

After all, Feng Tianci’s prowess is evident, if he also appears in front of these people’s line of sight, everyone will know the formidable nature of the Sky Pavilion, naturally causing them fewer troubles in the future.

In his mind, the Sword Spirit’s voice echoed, Sword Spirit slowly spoke: "Seems we’ve underestimated Feng Tianci’s capability, didn’t expect he’s reached this level, should’ve long surpassed the ranks of Star River level experts, the gap between you and him isn’t small indeed."

"Though his strength hasn’t recovered fully, he can already become a formidable force in this area, keeping favorable relations with him won’t take long before Sky Pavilion becomes the largest faction nearby, bar none."

Actually, Wang Zhan is quite aware of this.

Therefore, he continuously takes out his treasured elixirs to give to Feng Tianci.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If Feng Tianci hadn’t offered any help, despite his strong capabilities, Wang Zhan wouldn’t pay him any attention.

Over the years, Wang Zhan has always relied on himself, never interacting with any external forces, except the System.

So, an expert in front of him doesn’t hold much allure.

After staying in the back mountain for a while, Wang Zhan and Feng Tianci head down the mountain.

Since Feng Tianci has taken back the elixirs, he needs to retreat for cultivation and quickly restore his strength to its peak, other matters seemingly irrelevant to him.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan has already met up with Xiang Tian.

Seeing Wang Zhan, Xiang Tian shrugs beside him, eyes falling on Luo Xue, while smilingly saying, "See? I told you, there’s no need to worry about Brother Wang, yet you’re still overthinking here. I told you long ago that Brother Wang could never be in trouble."

"Moreover, that guy in the back mountain still needs to rely on Brother Wang to restore his strength and wouldn’t recklessly make a move, just keep your heart in your stomach."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan is slightly taken aback, glancing at Luo Xue beside him before leisurely asking, "What’s the situation?"

Luo Xue rolls her eyes at Xiang Tian, scratching her head, "I just heard such a commotion in the back mountain, so we thought you might have fought Feng Tianci, if that was the case, I planned to go and support."

Heh...

Xiang Tian instantly crossed his arms with a cold snicker, shaking his head saying, "I told you long ago, Brother Wang wouldn’t face any issues, why do you still need support?"

"Alright, stop the nonsense, quickly send away these useless people, I still want to go back and focus on my cultivation."

Currently, guests have been going back and forth in Tian Pavilion for several hours, and the Pavilion’s prestige has been established, naturally no need to continue hosting.

Luo Xue greeted Wang Zhan briefly before heading towards the crowd.

During this time, Wang Zhan has been daily improving his rapport with Fire Qilin, and through endless battles, honestly, he is somewhat fatigued.

Just as he prepares to go back to his room for a good rest, he sees Dong Tianlei walking towards him.

In a flash, Dong Tianlei is already at his front.

Dong Tianlei glances at Wang Zhan, his lips curling into a slight smile, he sweeps his eyes towards the direction of the back mountain before remarking, "I didn’t expect that Tian Pavilion would have such a trump card after barely being established, I must say, you truly have charm."

Dong Tianlei knows well, currently, within Tian Pavilion, the only one worthy of notice is Wang Zhan.

And attracting such experts, perhaps only Wang Zhan could achieve it.

Wang Zhan’s lips slightly curved up, he intentionally did not conceal anything, after all, with Dong Tianlei’s capability, presumably he has already heard the previous disturbances, might even detect Feng Tianci’s power level, continued concealment would indeed drop one’s face.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan chuckled, "Aren’t there several Elders in Luoxing Mountain too? It’s said those Elders’ capabilities are even more formidable than yours, so naturally, our foundations couldn’t compare to Luoxing Mountain’s..."

Dong Tianlei shook his head, lips soon showing a bitter smile, "Things aren’t as simple as you say, though those Elders from a certain angle are considered people of Luoxing Mountain, the relationship with me isn’t that friendly, if Luoxing Mountain truly encounters utter disaster, they might appear to help, or they might not care..."

"So compared to you, my situation is naturally more difficult."

Wang Zhan laughed, "With your means, can’t you handle these matters well?"

"Just unite everyone and act against the Elders, swiftly pacify Luoxing Mountain, wouldn’t that be enough?"

"Over the years, Luoxing Mountain has always been conserving power, without disputes like those between Skyfire Mountain and Profound Ice Pavilion, presumably, you should also have your own trump card, right?"

Wang Zhan and the others began probing each other’s intentions.

In truth, they’re both well aware if the two cannot merge, the ultimate result would be a great war.

And nobody wants to witness such a scene unfold.

After all, Wang Zhan only wishes to conserve his power and swiftly become a local hegemon.

Meanwhile, persistently expanding Tian Pavilion’s forces.

That would be sufficient.

As for other matters, he isn’t overly concerned.

Dong Tianlei’s lips suddenly showed a subtle smile, he looked at Wang Zhan, then spoke again, "Brother Wang, I suddenly thought of something, don’t know if it’s appropriate to say?"
