Chapter 932: Chapter 930: We Will Never Let You Down
Immediately, all eyes were focused on Wang Zhan.
Xuan Yu, who was standing to the side, quickly walked up to Wang Zhan and urgently inquired, "Brother Wang, what are your plans?"
Wang Zhan flashed a slight smile, rubbed his chin, and finally said, "During this period, I still need to quickly refine the Demon Core, so I won’t have much time to stay with you all."
"But if we are truly preparing to seize the Divine Heart, we need to raise our overall strength significantly. So, in the remaining time, everyone needs to work hard."
"Previously, everyone was divided into groups, right? In that case, we can take advantage of this time to train briefly among ourselves, and when I return, we can have a competition."
"At that time, we’ll select a group of outstanding performers to accompany me to participate in the conference."
"How does everyone feel about this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes brightened with enthusiasm.
After all, during this period, with the development and growth of the Sky Pavilion, their overall strength has been rapidly improving.
All the nearby Sects had already been wiped out by the Sky Pavilion, leaving them unmatched by any Sect at the moment.
This meant that in the foreseeable future, there didn’t seem to be any tough battles to fight, which indeed felt rather dull.
Thinking about this, everyone’s faces turned sour.
After all, only by constantly sparring can one continuously enhance their own strength.
Hearing Wang Zhan’s words, everyone naturally became excited.
Then Xiang Tian stood up first, expressing, "No matter what others think, I will definitely agree, and during this time, I will try my best to make everyone around me become experts, aiming to secure all the spots."
Upon hearing this, everyone present shook their heads.
On the other side, Luo Xue crossed her arms and gently said, "I really don’t know where you get your confidence from. It’s hard for you to secure a spot with your own strength, since you’re not even a match for Dong Tianlei. Now that we’re evenly matched, there are quite a few advantages in the Sky Pavilion to surpass you, so I advise you to keep your feet on the ground."
"If you boast too much, you’ll only end up a laughingstock in the Sky Pavilion!"
However, after hearing this, Xiang Tian didn’t show any signs of worry on his face.
Instead, he crossed his arms and said, "You don’t need to worry about that. Since I’ve agreed with Brother Wang, I’ll definitely make those around me stronger. Even if I can’t secure all the spots, I’ll take 90% of them, so you better work hard to avoid embarrassing yourselves."
Everyone present laughed along.
But no conflicts arose.
Wang Zhan kept observing everyone’s expressions, as he hadn’t been in the Sky Pavilion for a period while working on refining the Demon Core, so he wasn’t very familiar with the matters inside the Pavilion.
Seeing everyone was harmonious, Wang Zhan moved next to Xuan Yu and quietly said, "Do you know what’s going on? Wasn’t Xiang Tian not on good terms with everyone before? How is it that he’s so friendly now?"
Xuan Yu smiled and replied, "During this period, I don’t know what happened to Xiang Tian, but his personality changed significantly, and he started communicating proactively. Over time, everyone naturally became friends."
In fact, before, no one in the Sky Pavilion intended to be enemies with Xiang Tian; it was just that Xiang Tian always held animosity towards everyone, preventing friendly relations.
Standing to the side, Luo Xue walked over to Wang Zhan, smiling with her arms crossed, and said, "Brother Wang, how do you think this matter went?"
"What matter?"
Wang Zhan looked at Luo Xue with confusion.
Then, Luo Xue’s gaze fell on Xiang Tian, and she smiled and said, "Naturally, training Xiang Tian well. If it wasn’t for me, he probably wouldn’t be getting along so harmoniously with everyone present. It’s all thanks to me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan was satisfied and patted Luo Xue’s shoulder, smiling as he said, "You really did a good thing this time. Although Xiang Tian’s strength has improved, reaching a mid-to-high level within the Sky Pavilion, if he doesn’t change his character, it won’t benefit him much and might even harm him in the future..."
Wang Zhan wasn’t joking.
After all, Xiang Tian had not only become more irritable but also extremely belligerent. If he were to spar frequently with others, it would be fine if his opponents were weaker, but if he encountered strong enemies, he wouldn’t let it go easily. It would result in either exhausting his entire strength to injure himself and his opponent or facing direct death...
After all, on the Star War Battlefield, it’s a place where the weak are prey to the strong.
No one gives you a second chance.
Soon, Xiang Tian and others returned to Wang Zhan’s side.
Wang Zhan smiled contentedly, patted Xiang Tian’s shoulder, and gently said, "I must say, you have indeed impressed me. You have changed significantly, which is a great thing for you. Before long, your character might greatly enhance your strength."
"But I hope you can maintain this, as only then can you quickly become a peak expert. You know I’ve always anticipated that day."
Xiang Tian nodded with a smile, clasped his fists, expressed his gratitude to Wang Zhan, and then bit his lip and softly said, "During this time, although Brother Wang hasn’t been in the Sky Pavilion, I’ve reflected on myself. Indeed, many things have been my fault."
"If it weren’t for Brother Wang’s guidance, I probably would have perished many times already. So having achieved what I have today is all thanks to Brother Wang..."
Wang Zhan smiled and said, "We emerged from the fifth war zone together, experiencing so much, even life and death separations. Honestly, I already see you as my best companion, so there’s no need for you to worry so much. You just need to enhance your strength quickly and strengthen those around you; that’s enough."
"Seeing this progress makes me relieved."
Xiang Tian nodded heavily and resolutely said, "Rest assured, Brother Wang. I won’t let you down this time. In the upcoming competitions, I’ll ensure everyone under me achieves excellent results."
"By then, everyone around me will surely be by Brother Wang’s side."
Wang Zhan patted his shoulder, smiling, "Good, I’m looking forward to that day."
After exchanging a few words with Xiang Tian, Wang Zhan’s gaze turned to Dong Tianlei. Then he approached Dong Tianlei, smiled, and said, "In the upcoming period, I might need to undertake a short retreat again, so the matters of the Sky Pavilion will once again be entrusted to you. If there’s any situation, you only need to consult with Xuan Yu. Although there is an Elder’s Seat, both you and Xuan Yu have considerable authority."
"However, I hope that unless absolutely necessary, everyone must not become enemies."
Wang Zhan wasn’t concerned about the others; he was most worried about Dong Tianlei.
After all, Dong Tianlei used to be in Luoxing Mountain, and many here had deep grudges with Luoxing Mountain. Yet, perhaps because of Wang Zhan’s presence, no one sought trouble with Dong Tianlei. But with Wang Zhan’s departure, although they wouldn’t confront each other openly, Wang Zhan worried they’d start conflict among themselves.
If that happened, it would cause significant trouble for both Dong Tianlei and Xuan Yu.
Dong Tianlei smiled lightly, his mouth curling slightly. He smiled and shook his head, then said, "I’ve already reached an age where I’ve mellowed out. Naturally, I won’t hold onto grudges with them, but I must say, people in the Sky Pavilion are indeed harmonious, with no one opposing me, so you don’t need to worry anymore. If anything arises in the future, I’ll inform you."
Wang Zhan nodded; hearing Dong Tianlei say this finally lifted the heavy stone weighing on his heart.
Wang Zhan waved to everyone, and immediately the crowd grew much quieter.
Then, Wang Zhan once again spoke, "Since everything has been discussed, take this time to enhance your abilities. I anticipate my retreat will last at least a month, and I hope to see your transformation when I return."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Rest assured, respected Pavilion Master, we will not disappoint you!"
