Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 935: Chapter 933: Thunder Mountain

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw a stream of light fall before them.

As the dust cleared, they saw Wang Zhan standing proudly in front of them.

Xiang Tian, standing to the side, quickly walked up to Wang Zhan. Excitedly clenching Wang Zhan’s fist, he said, "Brother Wang, judging by the aura you just released, I suppose your strength has improved considerably once more."

Although Xiang Tian did not know the extent of Wang Zhan’s strength, it was clear that Wang Zhan was continually growing stronger.

Meanwhile, Luo Xue and the others quickly gathered around Wang Zhan, their faces full of excitement at seeing him.

After all, Wang Zhan was now their backbone. Only if Wang Zhan became strong enough could they ensure the Sky Pavilion developed better and better.

A faint smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips, and then he slowly said, "It’s merely that heaven favors me, and my strength has indeed broken through once more. Perhaps it’s to prepare me well for this contest for the Divine Heart?"

Everyone excitedly looked towards Wang Zhan.

Xiang Tian’s eyes then brightened, and he promptly said, "Brother Wang, now that you’ve emerged, shouldn’t we begin the internal competitions and select some experts to accompany you to contend for the Divine Heart?"

Wang Zhan nodded and then looked at Xuan Yu, who was standing aside, and asked, "By the way, what’s the situation over there now?"

Wang Zhan understood well that during his absence, Xuan Yu had undoubtedly handled everything, and Dong Tianlei probably assisted as well. As for Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, given their competitive nature, they must have found ways to strengthen those around them.

They aimed to perform excellently in the upcoming internal competition, thereby following him to contest for the Divine Heart.

Of course, this was precisely the scenario Wang Zhan wished to see, not because he wanted Xiang Tian and the others by his side, but because as long as Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei stayed inside the Sky Pavilion, he had nothing to worry about. Their charisma and strength made them the best choice.

Xuan Yu then stepped forward with a smile and said urgently, "During this time, I’ve been investigating matters related to this. Now, all the surrounding factions and the major families have rushed to Thunder Mountain."

"However, reportedly, Thunder Mountain’s barrier has not been broken yet, so everyone has been stopped outside the mountain. Judging by the experts present, it shouldn’t take long before the barrier breaks, so we need to hurry to get near Thunder Mountain to seize the opportunity."

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes and then asked, "Is Thunder Mountain the place we’re headed this time?"

"Exactly."

Xuan Yu smiled and said, "It’s said that within the Thunder God, there’s a Thunder Emperor whose strength was incredibly formidable, having reached the realm of worldly experts. He likely fell during his breakthrough, leaving behind a Divine Heart."

"I don’t know where this news originated, but since everyone has already rushed to Thunder Mountain, it must be true."

Standing by, Xiang Tian dismissively waved his hand and said with a smile, "We don’t need to concern ourselves with such matters, nor do we need to know who spread the news. The point is to quickly get to Thunder Mountain. Since everyone’s heading there, we need not worry—just focus on seizing the Divine Heart."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, especially those following Xiang Tian.

Wang Zhan, meanwhile, narrowed his eyes, glancing at Xiang Tian and his followers before smiling and saying, "It’s like finding like. Look at the warmongers you’ve gathered; I wonder where you found them?"

Xiang Tian and his group exchanged looks and then merely smiled, with none of them speaking further.

At this moment, Luo Xue approached Wang Zhan and whispered, "Brother Wang, you don’t realize how hard he’s been working lately. The people around him are terrifyingly strong, trained like demons. But he’s never cared for the Sky Pavilion’s affairs, so I think it’s best to leave him and his entire group here."

"So he can handle the matters inside the Sky Pavilion properly. What do you think, Brother Wang?"

"After all, Xiang Tian is a leader within the Sky Pavilion. We can’t just have them doing nothing, right?"

Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei exchanged glances with each other, then nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Luo Xue’s words, Xiang Tian suddenly widened his eyes and quickly retorted, "Luo Xue, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Even if I lead my people through demonic training, it’s all to become Brother Wang’s right-hand and help him quickly obtain the Divine Heart. Why are you making it sound like I’m worthless?"

Clearly, Xiang Tian was quite dissatisfied upon hearing this.

Luo Xue just smiled, shook her head, and said, "While you’re busy with your stuff, you haven’t been involved much in the Sky Pavilion’s affairs. Is that fair to Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei? I’m just considering them. After all, we’re a team, and no one can fight alone."

If someone else had said this, Xiang Tian would have likely flown into a rage by now. But given it was Luo Xue speaking, he was at a loss for words.

One must admit, Xiang Tian had a soft spot for Luo Xue.

Witnessing this, a faint smile played on Wang Zhan’s lips, and he shook his head and said, "Alright, stop fooling around. Can’t you see Xiang Tian doesn’t have a sense of humor? Beware when he gets angry, even I might not be able to save you."

At these words, everyone merely exchanged glances, with no one speaking up.

Luo Xue then remarked, "Brother Wang, you needn’t worry about it. Although our powers are close, the outcome of a duel might be even. But since I have Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei by my side, even one of them could easily defeat Xiang Tian; so, why worry?"

Luo Xue was indeed speaking the truth. After all, Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei’s strengths were apparent, and especially if Dong Tianlei unleashed his skills, he’d soon bring Xiang Tian to defeat.

Though Xiang Tian had been diligent lately, closing the gap between him and Dong Tianlei was no easy task.

Standing to the side, Xiang Tian angrily clenched his fists, glaring at Luo Xue, feeling she was truly annoying for the first time.

"Okay, okay, since we’re heading for Thunder Mountain, there’s no need to argue further. We must make full use of the time, quickly categorizing everyone, to know whom to bring along to contest for the Divine Heart."

After everyone nodded, their gaze collectively fell on Wang Zhan.

Given Wang Zhan’s word, they naturally dared not say more.

In an instant, Wang Zhan sat in the prime seat, waving at the crowd, then spoke slowly, "Alright, stop wasting time and begin the match immediately."

Instantly, excitement filled the crowd.

Soon, the Great Hall was filled with people.

Wang Zhan simply gestured to Xuan Yu and smiled, saying, "I need to discuss something with you. What do you think?"

Before Wang Zhan finished speaking, Xuan Yu smiled, saying, "No need to discuss, I know your intentions. You want me to stay in the Sky Pavilion and oversee it, right?"

Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head. One must admit, Xuan Yu was indeed astute, seeing his intentions at a glance.

Then Wang Zhan smiled and said, "After much thought, I find you the most suitable choice. Of course, if a formidable enemy arises, Feng Tianci from the back mountain won’t leave, so he’ll be the first to act. You needn’t worry then."

"As for mundane matters, you will need to handle them. What’s your opinion?"

Xuan Yu gave a gentle smile, then clasped his fists and said, "Since you say so, I’m willing to stay in the Sky Pavilion. Besides, I dislike running about, and staying here is indeed ideal, so no worries for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan smiled contentedly and nodded.

One must say, Xuan Yu had the best big-picture view.

If relying only on Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, gathering a team this quickly would be impossible.
