Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 927: Chapter 925: Exchange

Wang Zhan completely ignored his words.

All his attention was now focused on the Demon Core.

After all, in Wang Zhan’s view, their faction was growing larger, so he must possess absolute strength in order to lead the people of the Sky Pavilion further.

And now, if he wants to enhance his strength, he must pin all his hopes on the Demon Core.

After thinking about this, Wang Zhan was eager to refine the Demon Core.

Unfortunately, what Wang Zhan never expected was that the power within the Demon Core seemed unable to merge with the strength within his body.

For a moment, Wang Zhan’s expression turned much grimmer.

Immediately, Sword Spirit Xu Xu walked up to him, glanced at Wang Zhan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "There’s still much of the Wolf Emperor’s aura within the Demon Core, so refining the Demon Core is not an easy task. But given some time, I believe we can break the deadlock."

"Moreover, I think if we use the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, we might be able to refine this Demon Core quickly."

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

"The Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation?"

Wang Zhan inquired.

Sword Spirit nodded and said, "The Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation can purify all things, so purifying this Demon Core shouldn’t be difficult. Although I don’t know if it will work, we at least have to try, as there are no other paths left for us."

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile. He glanced back in the direction of the back mountain, then said, "If worse comes to worst, we might seek help from Feng Tianci. After all, that old fellow is exceptionally powerful, and with his means, he could naturally refine this Demon Core."

Sword Spirit nodded and then added, "You’re indeed correct. Feng Tianci does have such abilities, but if you ask him for help, this Demon Core probably won’t be yours anymore. That old fellow will naturally claim it for himself."

"Although your elixir aids him in some way and can help him recover his strength quickly, the power of this Demon Core is much more pure than your elixir. If he can refine this Demon Core, his ability would likely recover by more than half."

"I think you know what that old fellow is thinking. He has always been in the back mountain recently just to restore his strength to its peak as soon as possible. If there’s such a great opportunity, he certainly won’t miss it, wouldn’t you agree?"

Upon thinking of these things, Wang Zhan patted his own head and then shook his head, saying, "If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten that..."

"Feng Tianci indeed values his strength greatly, so he certainly wouldn’t hand this thing over to me lightly in the short term..."

"In that case, we better not set our sights on Feng Tianci anymore. After all, that old fellow..."

Before he finished speaking, a sound of strong winds came from behind him.

Then, Feng Tianci appeared before him, slowly speaking, "Is this what I am in your eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan chuckled awkwardly.

He never imagined Feng Tianci would come looking for him voluntarily.

Feng Tianci gave Wang Zhan an annoyed look, then said again, "If I had known you were like this, I wouldn’t have continued dealing with you. Even if you died in front of me, I wouldn’t even help..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan slightly frowned, hurriedly speaking with an embarrassed face, "I was just joking, how could I hold a grudge over such trivial matters with you? After all, if it weren’t for your help, I would have already lost my life, how else could I have trapped the Wolf Emperor here?"

Feng Tianci completely ignored Wang Zhan’s words. Feng Tianci slowly extended his hand and said lightly, "Then give me that Demon Core you have..."

"Give it to you?"

Wang Zhan said with a face full of embarrassment, "With your strength, why would you need this Demon Core? Please don’t joke with me, after all, my power is so insignificant. If I can absorb the power within this Demon Core, I can also step into the peak of the Star River level, and then I wouldn’t need to always ask for your help, and you could focus entirely on finding ways to break through your strength. What do you think?"

The next second, Feng Tianci’s face suddenly turned much more unpleasant.

Feng Tianci walked up to Wang Zhan and immediately spoke irritably: "You clearly don’t intend to hand over this Demon Core to me. I didn’t expect you’d still be here spouting such useless nonsense?"

"In that case, I won’t ask for it anymore."

"I’m quite curious if you can refine this Demon Core."

Wang Zhan smiled faintly; he didn’t get angry with Feng Tianci’s attitude. Instead, he calmly said, "The Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation can refine all things between Heaven and Earth. Naturally, I need to test the Demon Core with the formation. If I can quantify this core, it’ll be hugely beneficial to me. But if it can’t be refined, I’ll keep it with me. I’m sure, when my strength advances in the future, I can fully absorb its power then."

There’s no denying Wang Zhan is foresighted; it’s clear he has thought everything through.

Feng Tianci, meanwhile, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and then slowly said, "Before, how did I not realize you had such depth?"

"If I had known, I might not have stood beside you, nor helped you as a free fighter."

Wang Zhan’s mouth showed a hint of awkwardness, and he quickly explained, "I have never thought of you as my fighter, and I want us to advance together. After all, with your help, my life is preserved, and I can also provide you with elixirs. This is mutually beneficial. Isn’t that good?"

Feng Tianci snorted coldly, completely ignoring Wang Zhan’s words.

Wang Zhan glanced at Zuo Linglong, quickly walked over to her, pulling her aside, and quietly asked, "How did you suddenly arrive here?"

"Uh..."

Zuo Linglong hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "We came here because Master sensed something powerful nearby. However, Master didn’t know what it was at first. But then, upon reconsideration, Master guessed you might have moved the Demon Core. That’s why we rushed here immediately..."

"Yet as we see, Master’s guess was correct."

Wang Zhan shook his head, having already guessed that Feng Tianci might react the fastest. After all, everyone knows the Wolf Emperor has a Demon Core.

However, it’s not something that everyone can claim.

Reflecting on these matters, Wang Zhan slowly said, "In that case, you can cultivate here peacefully. The Water Prison is quieter compared to the outside world, and I’ve already spoken with Xuan Yu. There shouldn’t be anyone coming to disturb us during this time."

"I also intend to refine this Demon Core here properly. If I can absorb all its power, my strength will certainly advance, and I won’t need to continue troubling Feng Tianci so often."

Zuo Linglong nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Feng Tianci sat directly on the ground, clearly beginning to cultivate anew.

However, just when Wang Zhan was thinking of ways to refine the Demon Core, Feng Tianci slowly opened his eyes and casually said, "All things considered, the Demon Core should count as mine, too. But now, you’ve gotten there first, so I won’t fight you for it. You must give me some compensation though."

"What compensation do you want?"

Wang Zhan asked.

Feng Tianci slowly replied, "What I want is simple, just some elixirs. While for others this might be difficult, for you it shouldn’t be, right? Just a flick of your wrist will get a fair amount of elixirs? Am I wrong?"

Wang Zhan coughed awkwardly twice before slowly saying, "Indeed, you’re right..."

"In that case, I’ll stop wasting words and immediately give me hundreds of elixirs. Otherwise, I’ll take away this Demon Core and, with my power, I’ll refine it completely in no time. Then you’ll get nothing..."

Wang Zhan scratched his head, smiling bitterly.

Then, Wang Zhan reached into his bosom and spoke with a face full of helplessness: "If I were carrying that many elixirs with me, I wouldn’t be so stingy towards you. However, I already gave you most of my savings last time, even including the elixir I valued the most. Even if I want to give you more elixirs now, I don’t have any at the moment..."

Feng Tianci shrugged indifferently, saying, "In that case, stop refining the Demon Core and go prepare some elixirs for me first. Otherwise, no matter where you hide, I’ll find you and take the Demon Core..."
