Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 518 - 516 "Who is the Federation!"_1
Therefore, he would naturally veto the possibility of Qin Ying using him immediately, leaning more towards the former suspicion! It must be the real power-holder of the Qín Family, possessing their unspeakable secrets and plans. Because if Qin Ying really wanted to use him, she could have outrightly stated so, rather than effortlessly handing him over to her grand-uncle, putting him in a position similar to a prisoner! Hence, at that moment, Wang Zhan suddenly thought of another crucial issue.
If the Qín Family were concealing themselves behind the scenes, hiding their power from top to bottom for some greater purpose, then why would that Old Man Qín choose to reveal himself only in Quan State City? This was the crux. Therefore, Wang Zhan immediately immersed himself in deep thought. Despite the profound killing intent in his heart, it was clear that when he was still at a disadvantage, Wang Zhan had learned to face situations in a more measured way, and then... become a more mature and powerful hunter!
That said, if the Old Man clearly possesses strong power, yet he still insists on playing a submissive role from behind, then what does this situation in itself prove? Consequently, Wang Zhan immediately directed his attention towards an answer that was becoming more distinct. If the Qín Family has grand schemes but they remain hidden, content to operate from behind the scenes, then undoubtedly, the Qín Family must also fear some powerful existence or individual. Only such powerful entities, capable of suppressing an entire family, could truly make a formerly arrogant and powerful family choose to lie low and remain vigilant for the subsequent decades! Even on the wilderness battlefield, as had happened before when Wang Zhan and the Old Man almost died at the hands of a royal-level beastly giant snake, the Old Man was still unwilling to expose himself. Instead, he exhausted his abilities to create a series of fabrications that could deceive everyone. Namely, it seems that the people of the Qín Family aren’t as powerful as they appear after all; they are far behind the Federation...
Upon this realization, the gleam in Wang Zhan’s eyes flashed briskly. Then, he linked the Qín Family’s affairs with other keywords: Quan State and the Federation! This raised a question. Whose is Quan State? It’s not an individual’s, nor does it belong to noble families; it belongs to the Federation! Thus, who is the most powerful entity in the Federation Calendar? Without a doubt: the Federation, the Federation, the Federation! This is an iron-clad fact. And this series of clues instantaneously led Wang Zhan to target the Federation as a whole.
It is widely known that since its establishment, the Federation itself has harbored many great mysteries. For instance, under whose leadership has the Federation been able to smoothly reach its current state and become increasingly stronger? And for another example, what did the Federation initially rely on to successfully repel the Beast Clan and forcefully shift the main battlefield from the Earth Federation back to the Star War Battlefield?
Yet, just as Wang Zhan arrived at this point, he immediately felt an intense coldness within his heart. Because if his conjectures are true, then doesn’t it mean that today’s Qín Family, even though they enjoy a distinguished status within the Federation, are extremely cautious of a powerful ’Federation’? In fact, due to this fear, everyone in the Qín Family has started to learn how to put on an act. At the same time, this powerful ’Federation,’ from beginning to end, has been monitoring everything happening on Earth—especially the forces of large families like the Qín Family—and has constantly remained vigilant!
However, at this point, a huge problem arises. Assuming this powerful ’Federation’ has indeed, from beginning to end, never given up control and surveillance of the Earth Federation... then doesn’t it mean that everything that happened in Quan State has been clearly seen by ’it’ from the start? It’s just that this powerful yet vague entity, this ’Federation,’ has been restraining itself, choosing to watch coldly from the sidelines the whole time, never even thinking about intervening, not even slightly...
Therefore, the more Wang Zhan thought, the colder his heart became! It felt as if some huge conspiracy was inexplicably dangling over his head. And the people sitting at the pinnacle of this conspiracy have been involved in its every development from the very beginning. However, the difference in their gaze compared to the people on the ground lies in their extraordinary confidence and strength! Then, such cold-blooded ruthlessness, like an aloof Deity!
This thought directly caused Wang Zhan to experience a moment of mental suffocation. Later, he felt a surge of agitation. Unable to control his emotions, Wang Zhan had quietly become agitated, thereby attracting several ferocious beasts. He roared in a low voice, like a beast, charging forward and directly engaging in a melee with his opponents!
He fought to the death, not backing down. Regardless of how these ferocious and powerful beasts, akin to Deities in front of mortals, continuously tore at his body, allowing Wang Zhan’s clothing to be stained by the emanations from their maws, carrying the endless suffering of his clan members, Wang Zhan’s face was also gruesome as he recklessly punched one after another, smashing his opponents to death!
Immediately after, one could only hear a low rumble echoing and fading in this small block, accompanied by the fall of bodies.
ROAR...
Although time passed quickly, at this moment, Wang Zhan was drenched in the blood of the beasts. From a distance, he too seemed to have become one of them – bloodthirsty and fierce! However, unlike other beasts, he remained in human form. But regardless of being in human or beast form, at this moment, Wang Zhan was enough to instill fear in these beasts.
Therefore, after witnessing the deep roar of this human-form beast, the various beasts attracted by the smell of blood, who were about to step into the battlefield, all paused in their tracks. Some hesitated, looking at Wang Zhan’s straight figure, and growled a few times. Afterward, struggling with their deep-seated hesitation and their Talent for perceiving intense danger, they reluctantly retracted their already advancing steps. It seemed as if they also regarded Wang Zhan as one of them. Although they stared unyieldingly at the flesh and blood of the upper-class General-level beasts scattered before them, they were forced to retreat unwillingly.
This was respect for a powerful being! At the same time, this instinct was the primary reason these powerful beasts could stay alive and continue to grow stronger: the instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm!
Thus, Wang Zhan had won. No other beast dared to challenge his presence; all retreated dejectedly from this battlefield. It seemed they had tacitly acknowledged a fact: The human-shaped beast, Wang Zhan, had become the king of this area! And they, too, were kings in their own right. Although they dared not provoke him easily, the only courtesy they could extend to Wang Zhan was to retract their bared fangs.
Such a scene caused a gleam to shine in Wang Zhan’s eyes. Without needing to be told, he had noticed this city’s abnormality! Since when did these beasts, who only knew bloodthirsty slaughter, quietly learn to retreat, yield, and even maintain a certain order? If this had happened on the Star War Battlefield, Wang Zhan would naturally not have found it strange! But this was the Earth Federation! This was also the place with the greatest pressure, the most dispersed power, and the most critical situation for the entire Beast Clan group. Therefore, they originally shouldn’t have had sufficient time or spare capacity to maintain the seemingly chaotic yet actually orderly rules before him!
However, while Wang Zhan was fighting these beasts, the Old Man, in a small room in an unknown location, was quietly observing the scenes before him, and within those scenes, the familiar young man—Wang Zhan. Immediately after, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly into a treacherous curve, and he chuckled. "Young people are indeed young; they experience a little setback and immediately lose control of their emotions. But that’s good... as long as this kid doesn’t become a sly fox, he’ll be easy to deal with..."
These were the Old Man’s inner thoughts. He also knew that if not for his current power, which held an absolute advantage over Wang Zhan, Wang Zhan would absolutely not have yielded so easily. But how would Wang Zhan know that from the moment he accepted the Qín Family’s gift, his every move—so long as the Qín Family wished—could be completely under their control! Thinking of this, the smile on the Old Man’s face grew even wider. The wooden carving in Wang Zhan’s hand was indeed a life-saving item. However, that girl Qin Ying, who always favors outsiders, how could she know that beneath its life-saving function, there were actually many more practical uses hidden—uses that were even more unexpected and impossible to guard against!
Therefore, the Old Man hadn’t used this trick earlier simply because he felt it unnecessary. Wang Zhan entering Quan State City, however, had undoubtedly piqued his interest. But what the Old Man didn’t know was that while he was spying on the image of the grim-faced Wang Zhan, a warning suddenly sounded in Wang Zhan’s mind:
"Warning! Warning! Abnormal energy has been implanted within the host’s body..."
Then, Wang Zhan also smiled, the corners of his mouth curving up, his face bright and sunny.
