Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 864 - 862: Coming Clean About Everything

"Leave everything to me."Wang Zhan smiled, his mind already made up.

After a brief word with Sword Spirit, Wang Zhan headed outside.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tian and his companion had been waiting outside for quite some time.

Seeing Wang Zhan come out, the two immediately began to ask directly.

Luo Xue was the first to approach Wang Zhan, quickly asking, "Brother Wang, what’s the situation inside?"

Xiang Tian also moved closer, eyes fixed intensely on Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan immediately said, "Inside is quite decent, but it’s not suitable for you."

"Xuan Bing did not deceive you."

"Here’s the plan: you stay here while Xuan Bing and I go inside and take a look."

Though Xiang Tian and his companion were somewhat reluctant, they nodded their heads.

At that moment, Wang Zhan’s gaze had fallen on Xuan Bing, and he laughed as he spoke, "To think there is an Ice Divine Beast in the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower?"

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged glances, clearly unaware of what this Ice Divine Beast was.

Beside them, Xuan Bing slightly squinted his eyes.

He had never expected that in such a short time, Wang Zhan could already discern the mysteries within the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower.

"Could it be that you’ve entered the deepest part?"

With things at this stage, Xuan Bing naturally didn’t plan to keep hiding the truth.

Wang Zhan gestured to Xuan Bing and the two walked inside.

Once inside, Wang Zhan said, "I haven’t reached the deepest part, but still, I can sense the presence of the Ice Divine Beast."

"However, I’m quite curious about your true purpose in bringing me here."

"Do you really intend for me to deal with the Ice Divine Beast?"

"Staying here probably poses no harm to you, right?"

Hearing this, Xuan Bing hesitated for a moment, at a loss for words.

"It seems there are many things that are inconvenient to say?"

Xuan Bing hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and slowly said, "Brother Wang, I naturally see you as a friend, but many matters aren’t something I can control."

"Moreover, you can probably tell, I’m just a lowly minion."

"So..."

Wang Zhan nodded slightly, looked at Xuan Bing, then said, "So it was Qiu Yinshan who had you bring me here, wanting to discern my true strength?"

This...

Hearing this, Xuan Bing was immediately stunned.

He stared at Wang Zhan for a while before asking in astonishment, "How do you know all this?"

Ha...

Wang Zhan’s lips curved into a faint smile as he shook his head and said, "That’s not difficult."

"After all, I managed to escape from Huo Yuan, so Qiu Yinshan would surely want to know the extent of my abilities, for the sake of your Profound Ice Pavilion."

Xuan Bing clasped his hands and hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, it’s not that he doesn’t trust you, it’s only for the safety of Profound Ice Pavilion, since it’s uncertain whether you’re friend or foe, or if you’ve colluded with Huo Yuan."

Wang Zhan nodded, not angry.

Meanwhile, Xuan Bing continued observing his expression.

Time passed by second by second.

Wang Zhan remained indecisive.

He glanced at the distance before slowly speaking, "If I really manage to kill the Ice Divine Beast, what then?"

"This..."

Xuan Bing laughed awkwardly, shaking his head and said, "Initially, you said you only escaped from Huo Yuan, unable to kill him, which proves your strength is far inferior to his."

"But you’re unaware that the Ice Divine Beast’s strength far surpasses him, so how could you kill the Ice Divine Beast easily?"

"Of course, Qiu Yinshan just wants to see if you truly have some hidden means or how you’d escape from the Ice Divine Beast."

"He’s also curious about your trump card."

Wang Zhan nodded, understanding this point.

However, he had his own thoughts.

Sword Spirit spoke in Wang Zhan’s mind, "Just go along with his intentions, besides, I have a good idea too. If this guy can help, our chances increase significantly."

Though Xuan Bing and Wang Zhan were both Stellar-level experts, Xuan Bing’s strength was slightly higher than Wang Zhan’s.

Of course, if they fought for their lives, the outcome would be uncertain.

Having more help is always beneficial.

Upon hearing her words, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Xuan Bing once more.

"You don’t need to worry about that, I have my own plans."

"However..."

Wang Zhan’s lips slightly curved into a faint smile, as he said again, "I just want to know, if I kill the Ice Divine Beast, your Profound Ice Pavilion won’t cause me trouble, right?"

Xuan Bing shook his head, quickly explaining, "How could that be?"

In his view, Wang Zhan was just joking.

After all, even the Domain Master couldn’t kill the Ice Divine Beast back then, let alone Wang Zhan.

"If that’s the case, I understand then."

Wang Zhan’s lips curved into a faint smile, and he led the way deeper inside.

Xuan Bing stood still nearby.

Wang Zhan curiously turned his head and then asked, "Are you not planning to go in with me?"

Xuan Bing hesitated.

In just a few steps, he had already walked over to Wang Zhan’s side.

Xuan Bing gritted his teeth and after much hesitation, finally spoke, "Brother Wang, I’m truly sorry."

"The reason for doing this is out of necessity, I hope you won’t take offense..."

Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently, "I actually think it’s good."

"Good?"

Xuan Bing was stunned.

Over the years, the Ice Divine Beast has merely been a tool of punishment for those who made mistakes within the Profound Ice Pavilion.

After all, no matter the strength of the person who comes here, the final result is only one, and that is a dead end.

Only disciples who committed egregious wrongs would be sent here.

Wang Zhan shrugged and then laughed, "I’ve always enjoyed competing with opponents who are slightly stronger than me. It can promote my improvement, so for me, it’s a good thing. Therefore, I don’t really care much about the Ice Divine Beast."

"Of course, as long as you all aren’t worried that I might kill the Ice Divine Beast."

Xuan Bing nodded, "Of course."

The two didn’t continue to waste words, and in no time, they moved towards the depths.

On the way, Xuan Bing seemed to be constantly thinking about something.

Always remained silent.

And Wang Zhan continued to walk inward on his own.

After an unknown distance, suddenly Sword Spirit’s voice rang in his mind.

"I can feel we’re getting closer to that guy."

At this moment, Sword Spirit felt like her blood was boiling.

After all, if she could get ahold of the Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core, her strength would increase exponentially.

In a short period, she could quickly return to her peak.

By then, even if facing Huo Yuan again, she would still be able to help Wang Zhan retreat safely.

Wang Zhan then began to talk to Sword Spirit.

"Didn’t expect to encounter it so soon..."

Though excited, Wang Zhan was also a bit worried.

After all, he didn’t know what level this guy has reached.

He was also taking risks.

Sword Spirit reminded, "Don’t worry, I have my means, if you truly can’t handle it, I won’t stand by idly. It’s just..."

She hesitated, not finishing her sentence.

Wang Zhan was taken aback, then said, "Is it because your trump card still has substantial drawbacks?"

Currently, Sword Spirit is very weak due to resisting Huo Yuan.

If not for this, how could she be in this state?

Thus, Wang Zhan naturally understood her thoughts.

Sword Spirit flashed a faint smile and said, "You’re risking everything, even willing to confront such an Ancient beast like the Ice Divine Beast, all for me. I can’t just watch you fight for me without doing anything, right?"

"Rest assured, I have my plans, I won’t put myself back into that state."

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "It’s good that you’re aware, don’t push yourself to the brink, otherwise I would also be worried."

"Moreover, I think you understand my character; I would never let anything happen to my friends, even if it means sacrificing myself, I will prevent such things."

Sword Spirit looked gratefully, Wang Zhan then nodded.

At the same time.

Xuan Bing had already reached Wang Zhan’s side.

He grabbed Wang Zhan’s arm and said, "Ahead is the Ice Divine Beast’s habitat."

"Previously, the Domain Master came here multiple times to battle the Ice Divine Beast, but the results were not very favorable."

"You probably don’t know how terrifying the Ice Divine Beast is; its strength can rival that of the Domain Master."

"That’s why everyone fears it."

Wang Zhan nodded, something Sword Spirit had already warned him about.

He wasn’t too concerned about the Ice Divine Beast’s strength.

Since he has come this far, he couldn’t just retreat halfway, could he?

"Then why didn’t you join forces to kill the Ice Divine Beast?"

"Instead, let it survive here for so long?"

In the Profound Ice Pavilion, there are experts aplenty.

If they worked together, perhaps they could still fight the Ice Divine Beast.

Moreover, Wang Zhan didn’t believe the Ice Divine Beast could be a match for the Domain Master.

Perhaps the Domain Master was holding back.

Didn’t want mutual destruction with the Ice Divine Beast.

Upon mentioning this, Xuan Bing sighed helplessly and shook his head, explaining, "It’s mainly because there’s been peace all these years, so the Domain Master hasn’t had the urge to kill the Ice Divine Beast."

"Also, it seems they’ve reached a certain consensus."
