Getting Stronger By Fighting

"What do you think?"

The gaze of the Black Dragon Clan Leader fell on Wang Zhan, simultaneously asking with curiosity.

After all, both involved were friends of Wang Zhan, and thus, whatever decision needed to be made, it relied on Wang Zhan’s intentions.

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brows and spoke softly: "Determine the location of the ruins as quickly as possible, I need to head there immediately."

Wang Zhan shared a great relationship with the two, and now that he had received news about them, he couldn’t linger any longer, needing to arrive at the ruins immediately to ascertain if they were there and determine whether they were alive or dead.

The Black Dragon Clan Leader nodded, his sight already settled on the Dragon Clan disciple, and he spoke lightly: "Since Mr. Wang is prepared, just provide him with the position, and let him handle everything else. Just hurry them to the entrance of the ruins; the rest is not your concern."

The man beside him nodded without further ado.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and the others prepared to set out.

The Black Dragon Clan Leader swiftly approached Wang Zhan, grabbing his arm, and promptly spoke: "Also, I must inform you of something. You need to be extremely cautious during the following period, as no one knows the state of the ruins, nor what will transpire upon entering them. Hence, should you require assistance, don’t hesitate to rely on me. But the Dragon Clan members likely want to stay beside you and fight alongside."

Wang Zhan gave a mysterious smile and confidently responded: "Rest assured, things haven’t reached the level you imagine, and they aren’t so perilous now. I’ve entered several ruins before, and while there may be some danger inside, this matter isn’t relevant to the Dragon Clan, so I can’t let them risk themselves for me. I shall go alone."

Xiang Tian had entered a state of seclusion; everything now weighed on Wang Zhan’s shoulders.

This wasn’t merely due to Wang Zhan’s self-assurance but also his preference for independence. Bringing along Xiang Tian or ordinary Dragon Clan disciples wouldn’t be favorable, especially with the unknown situation inside the ruins, risking ending up surrounded, complicating things greatly.

The Black Dragon Clan Leader nodded, opting to respect Wang Zhan’s opinion, before patting him on the shoulder, softly saying: "Since you’re ready, I won’t waste time with you. Handle everything, but never forget my words: do contact us immediately if any issue arises. You are our friend within the Dragon Clan; we won’t let anything happen to you."

A warmth surged within Wang Zhan’s heart, prompting him to nod.

Of course, should things come to that stage, returning to the Dragon Clan might be impossible for him.

In an instant, Wang Zhan followed the Dragon Clan member rapidly toward the ruins.

With the location confirmed, Wang Zhan’s speed was rapid.

Half a day passed; they found a spot above the sea domain.

Scanning the horizon, numerous energy fluctuations appeared, with a mysterious entrance hidden beneath; nothing escaped Wang Zhan’s keen eyes.

Slightly squinting, he glanced at the man beside him, asking: "Are you sure they came here?"

"Absolutely."

The man nodded with certainty, adding quickly: "Back then, many in the sea domain saw them arriving ostentatiously at the ruins, but it was not as straightforward as expected. Allegedly, there are guarding Giant Beasts inside, hence people dared not approach lightly. Considering the sea domain is part of the Star War Battlefield, the ruins here are much more perilous than ordinary ones."

Wang Zhan nodded, seemingly understanding.

Fortune is earned amidst danger.

Recognizing Zhao Feiyu and Li Du’s skills while assessing their condition.

For Zhao Feiyu remained by Wang Zhan, aiming to enhance his strength, inspired by the Fire Qilin’s improvement. Wang Zhan observed these changes in his mentality.

These developments were only natural; everyone desires to advance.

Wang Zhan ceased hesitating, readying himself to enter the ruins.

Beside him, the man hurriedly grabbed Wang Zhan’s arm, anxiously stating: "Mr. Wang, you’ve considered everything and are prepared to enter the ruins? Surely, our Dragon Clan could assist by scouting ahead! Given it’s within the sea domain, the Dragon Clan holds certain advantages here; we can ascertain their entry, but not their departure due to elapsed time, indifference prevents assurance..."

A mysterious smile crept upon Wang Zhan’s lips as he assured: "Don’t fret; to know whether they are inside, requires entry. Place your heart at ease, leave subsequent matters to me. You needn’t worry excessively."

Despite hesitating, the man noted Wang Zhan’s apparent resolve, speaking no further, ultimately nodding.

In a flash, Wang Zhan sped toward the ruin’s entrance.

The man stood stationary, remarking slowly: "To be chosen by the Azure Dragon Venerable, he truly is extraordinary; his thought process and capabilities far surpass our Dragon Clan members — it’s indeed shocking..."

"No wonder he wields Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor; none of this is coincidental. His confidence, perseverance, and benevolence towards associates produce tangible benefits for companions..."

The truth of Wang Zhan’s charm was evident.

It’s not merely Dragon Clan observations; his well-regarded treatment established a circle of allies, rooted in personal charisma alone.

Momentarily, Wang Zhan entered the ruins.

Unquestionably, this far exceeded his expectations.

Despite prior expeditions into ruins, remaining knowledgeable of ruins’ secrets, this one displayed substantial differences.

Perhaps due to its sea domain location, pressuring him immensely upon entry, gasping for air under such strong intimidation. Without his power, he’d be crushed by it.

Yet, precisely this indicated the presence of divine weapons, compelling such energy between Heaven and Earth.

Presumably, Zhao Feiyu and Li Du found valuable items here, or...

Wang Zhan dared not contemplate further; they were comrades, worrying over possible accidents concerned him.

Urgency necessitated finding them swiftly for peace of mind.

Soon, Wang Zhan forged ahead amid pressure towards the ruins.

Irrespective of the ruin’s secrets, Wang Zhan would not recoil, intending promptly to unite with Zhao Feiyu and Li Du.

Instantly, Wang Zhan reached the ruin’s depths.

The ruins appeared magnificent yet weren’t expansive; seemingly explored already with chaotic traces visible on the main hall, hints of combat added to Wang Zhan’s confusion.

Knocking his head lightly with his fingers, Wang Zhan spoke softly: "Could they have already visited here? Even battled with the guarding Divine Beasts — but what about the outcome?"

This area boasted no peculiar traces or bloodstains.

Confusion enveloped Wang Zhan.

Could an unexpected event truly have occurred here?

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brows, persevering in search, needing thorough examination given the indefinite circumstances, seeking any inconspicuous evidence.

In an instant, striding to the side, observing scattered items, Wang Zhan softly remarked: "You two damn fellows, where have you gone? Could you truly be endangered?"
