Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 926: Chapter 924: Celebration Banquet

"There should be no need for any secrets between us."

Nearby, the Sword Spirit smiled slightly, then spoke again: "However, you might not know that the Wolf King has an even greater benefit for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s lips curled slightly into a smile, and he asked, "What benefit?"

"Hmm..."

The Sword Spirit pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: "As far as I know, the Wolf Emperor’s body contains a Demon Core. If you can claim that Demon Core as your own, your strength will certainly enhance further. At that point, even if you face the Wolf Emperor at full strength, you could withstand the battle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes widened immediately.

His face filled with shock as he glanced at the Sword Spirit, then spoke slowly, "Are you saying that, with my current means, I could even rival Feng Tianci?"

The Sword Spirit nodded and spoke again with a smile, "But that is only against Feng Tianci’s current state. You know well that Feng Tianci’s strength has not yet returned to its peak state. So even if he battles the Wolf Emperor, he can remain undefeated. But should he regain his peak state, the Wolf Emperor wouldn’t last a single round in his hands..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes widened immediately.

The Sword Spirit then spoke again: "Therefore, this Demon Core is of great importance to us. If you plan to extract the Demon Core, I will help you. After all, your strength enhancement benefits me too, and when facing formidable enemies in the future, it will provide you with more self-protection capabilities."

Wang Zhan nodded, smiling as he said, "In that case, let’s not waste any more time. I’ll go find the Wolf Emperor personally later. Seems like this guy’s life is quite valuable."

"I imagine whatever I do, the people inside Tian Pavilion shouldn’t oppose."

After all, Wang Zhan is the master of Tian Pavilion.

This fact is clear to everyone, even if Wang Zhan doesn’t mention it.

As the two talked, the crowd had already returned to Tian Pavilion, and Wang Zhan did not hesitate, heading towards Tian Pavilion.

At this moment, everyone inside Tian Pavilion was celebrating the victory of this grand battle.

After all, the Wolf Gang has been arrogant here for many years, but no one could challenge the Wolf Gang members.

Yet unexpectedly, they were annihilated by Tian Pavilion this time.

If news spreads in the future, the people inside Tian Pavilion will naturally have their moment of glory.

In an instant, Xuan Yu quickly approached Wang Zhan, respectfully clasped his fist, and slowly spoke, "Brother Wang, I’m planning to hold a Celebration Banquet inside Tian Pavilion. What are your intentions?"

"A Celebration Banquet?"

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile, then he nodded and spoke again, "Leave everything to you to handle. In the future, there’s no need to notify me. If anyone doesn’t cooperate, just mention my name."

Xuan Yu shook his head and spoke again, "That’s enough, but I prefer to discuss and plan things together with everyone. After all, we are all teammates standing side by side. If things get tense between us, it benefits no one."

Wang Zhan patted Xuan Yu’s shoulder, "I always knew keeping you here was the wisest choice. After all, you have an absolute big picture view and can coordinate everyone inside Tian Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu lowered his head without speaking.

Wang Zhan glanced into the distance, then looked at Xuan Yu and asked, "By the way, I haven’t asked where the Wolf Emperor is being held?"

"Inside the Water Prison within Tian Pavilion."

Xuan Yu quickly replied.

Wang Zhan nodded, then headed towards the door. As he reached the door, he spoke slowly, "For a while, I may need to undergo closed training inside the Water Prison. Unless there’s an emergency, do not disturb me. Remember to inform everyone inside Tian Pavilion."

Xuan Yu nodded heavily, not asking more questions.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already entered the Water Prison with the Sword Spirit.

Meanwhile, the Wolf Emperor was bound by iron chains.

At this moment, he was completely confined inside the Water Prison.

Wang Zhan glanced at the battered Wolf Emperor, then spoke calmly, "How does it feel being in the Water Prison, not quite comfortable, right?"

Huh...

The Wolf Emperor’s lips curled into a cold smile, he looked at Wang Zhan coldly and then spoke gradually, "Are you here to flaunt your power? If that’s the case, I advise you to leave early. Although I’m a loser, I wasn’t defeated by you alone."

"If not for the strong external aid by your side, how could you be my opponent?"

Wang Zhan folded his arms, walked to the Wolf Emperor, closed the Water Prison door, and then spoke word by word, "You’ve lived this long, yet you don’t understand a principle? All external forces that can be leveraged are one’s own strength. If you lack this ability, can you blame someone else?"

"Winner takes all; loser is forlorn. For so many years, everyone has only seen the result and not questioned the process. Now that you’re confined here by me, even if you’re dissatisfied, what can it change?"

The Wolf Emperor was nearly grinding his teeth to pieces; he had never encountered someone as shameless as Wang Zhan before.

Looking at his expression, Wang Zhan couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head as he said, "Who would have thought that the dignified Wolf Emperor would look like this? Can’t you handle losing?"

"Or are you just unwilling to accept defeat?"

The Wolf Emperor kept swinging his arms, but both of his hands were already bound by iron chains, making it impossible to break free.

He maintained a distance from Wang Zhan throughout.

Wang Zhan shook his head and smiled at him, speaking calmly: "If I were you, I’d save some strength and stop struggling in vain. After all, continuing like this won’t bring you any benefits."

"If you have the guts, give me a chance to fight you again!"

The Wolf Emperor glared at Wang Zhan coldly and snarled, "With your capabilities, you wouldn’t last a few rounds in my grasp! Even if I’m trapped here by you now, I still look down on you! I advise you to stop wasting words with me, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Ha...

A sly smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips as he said, "I’m curious, how exactly can you be rude to me? You’re already my captive, can’t even approach me, and you’re here threatening me? If I were you, I’d kneel before me and say nice things, maybe then I’d let you go. What do you think?"

"You..."

The Wolf Emperor’s words stuck in his throat.

Time continued to tick by.

Looking at Wang Zhan who stood before him, the Wolf Emperor clenched his fist and said repeatedly, "Get lost!"

"I don’t want to see you now, get lost instantly!"

However, Wang Zhan had no intentions of leaving. Rather, he circled the Wolf Emperor a few times, stroked his chin, and then said, "Don’t you want to know my purpose for coming here?"

"What do your intentions have to do with me?"

The Wolf Emperor said coldly.

"Of course, they relate to you..."

The grin at the corner of Wang Zhan’s lips grew even broader as he squinted and spoke again: "Actually, my purpose is straightforward; I just want to take your Demon Core from you. It shouldn’t be too difficult for you, should it?"

"You have already become a captive and have no chance of leaving here alive. So, you might as well obediently give your Demon Core to me and let me absorb and refine it, isn’t that much better?"

The Wolf Emperor had never seen someone so shameless.

"Get lost!"

The Wolf Emperor roared again.

Unfortunately, a sinister smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips. He slowly raised his hand and the Great Void Divine Sword appeared in his hand.

In an instant, Wang Zhan swung the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, a sword light fell upon the Wolf Emperor.

Wang Zhan was momentarily stunned and communicated with the Sword Spirit in his mind, "How can we take this guy’s Demon Core? If we take that thing, surely it will cost him his life, won’t it?"

Although Wang Zhan had little affection for the Wolf Emperor, he did not want to completely kill the Wolf Emperor here.

The Sword Spirit shook its head and spoke again, "The Wolf Emperor’s strength is extremely terrifying, so even if we take his Demon Core, it likely won’t cost him his life."

"In that case, let’s not waste any more time."

Before speaking further, Wang Zhan raised his hand and slashed at the Wolf Emperor with his sword.

In the next moment, amidst the roars, the Wolf Emperor’s Demon Core had landed in Wang Zhan’s hand.

Though the Wolf Emperor’s face was filled with reluctance, he was powerless now.

In an instant, Wang Zhan held the Demon Core in his hand and then sat down slowly, beginning to refine it.

Heart-stealing murder.

Taking away someone’s most precious thing, and then refining it right in front of them.

Truly detestable.

The Wolf Emperor roared coldly, "You bastard, you’d better not let me see the light of day again, or it will be your end!"
