Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 558 - 556: Hundred Beast Mountain_1

Wang Zhan walked up to them, patted their shoulders, and said, "I advise you to give up on that idea. This fellow isn't someone you can afford to provoke."

The youth snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said nothing.

Everything before them indicated that Wang Zhan's combat power was far greater than it appeared on the surface.

However, they were unwilling to concede to Wang Zhan.

Before a Martial King, a royal-level beast was like an adult fighting a child.

Moreover, the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon had just ascended into the ranks of royal-level beasts, and her aura was inherently unstable; now, it was even more so.

In an instant, under Old Mao's assault, the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon was already struggling to hold on.

"BANG!"

Under a massive energy impact, the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon finally reached her limit.

In the end, she transformed into a streak of light.

Wang Zhan shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

Such a beautiful Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon, dealt with just like that...

He turned his head and looked at the youth behind him. "Shouldn't you be fulfilling your end of the bet now?"

"I..."

Remembering what he had just said, the youth turned his face away.

The next second, he was already speeding towards the wellhead above.

Behind him, Wang Zhan smiled at Old Mao, and then the two of them also headed upwards.

Once they reached the surface, the youth was about to run, but Wang Zhan merely flicked a finger, and the youth was frozen in place.

A Grandmaster who had never experienced the baptism of a real battlefield was nothing before him.

"What did you do? How can you immobilize me?"

The youth stared in shock at Wang Zhan, who was approaching step by step, and subconsciously retreated a few paces.

Wang Zhan walked up to him, grinned, and said, "Fulfill your promise, or... die."

"SWISH!"

The youth's expression changed.

Although there was no trace of anger on Wang Zhan's face, even a hint of a smile, no one doubted his words.

The people with the youth prepared to leave, but upon seeing a group approaching from a distance, they promptly changed their minds and hurried towards them.

One of them pointed at Wang Zhan and said, "Uncle Xiang, this man is going to kill Little Tian!"

Xiang Zhanfei led his contingent over to Wang Zhan.

Xiang Tian was his son, and he himself was the overall person in charge of the rear area of the fifth war zone.

His strength was at the peak Grandmaster level.

Just moments ago, everyone had felt a tremor from the ground, and they quickly understood that something had happened underground.

Realizing that the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon might have broken through to the royal-level beast realm, they had all rushed over, preparing to reinforce the defenses once more.

They lacked the ability to deal with the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon themselves, but they could use their geographical advantage and technology to control her.

If the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon breached the defenses and entered the rear of the fifth war zone, the entire zone would descend into chaos. At that point, even he would be unable to bear such immense consequences.

Wang Zhan walked over to them, completely ignoring Xiang Zhanfei's icy gaze. Instead, addressing Xiang Tian directly, he said, "This isn't me trying to make things difficult for your people. Everyone here should be able to testify that it was your son who said if I could go underground and deal with the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon, he would strip off his clothes and run laps around the camp."

After speaking, Wang Zhan's gaze immediately fell upon the others. "Am I wrong?"

But all the youths were Xiang Tian's friends; they definitely couldn't side with Wang Zhan at this moment.

In the end, everyone lowered their heads, and Xiang Tian remained silent.

Xiang Zhanfei shot Xiang Tian a cold look and ordered sternly, "A bet is a bet; you honor your losses. Since you lost, go run your laps!"

"But..."

Xiang Tian wanted to protest, but Xiang Zhanfei gave him a chilling glare, his expression terrifyingly grim. Ultimately, how could Xiang Tian dare to say more?

Wang Zhan didn't press him further. After releasing the restraint on Xiang Tian, he stepped aside.

Under everyone's gaze, Xiang Tian stripped off his clothes, his face crimson, and began running around the camp in his underwear.

Xiang Zhanfei paid Xiang Tian no mind, quickly walking over to Wang Zhan. He asked hurriedly, "Young brother, I heard you dealt with the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon?"

The Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon had been a thorn in their side for many years.

But because everyone from the fifth war zone was deployed to the outer defenses, no one could return to handle the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon.

So, Wang Zhan had done them a massive favor.

Joy was evident on everyone's faces.

Wang Zhan smiled, glanced at Old Mao beside him, and spread his hands. "I'm not that capable. It was all thanks to this old man here."

This...

The next second, Xiang Zhanfei looked at Old Mao, only then realizing that this unremarkable-looking old man was unfathomably powerful, even far more powerful than himself.

One of Xiang Tian's friends then approached Xiang Zhanfei and whispered a few words.

Xiang Zhanfei's expression changed instantly. He looked at Wang Zhan in shock, sizing him up from head to toe, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

But how could a Martial Arts Grandmaster's abilities suppress the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon?

A trace of respect appeared on Xiang Zhanfei's face. In any case, Wang Zhan and his companion were not to be underestimated.

Thinking this, Xiang Zhanfei beckoned to the two of them. "Would you two be willing to come inside and talk with me?"

Wang Zhan nodded.

They had arrived in this place with no one to rely on. Xiang Zhanfei wasn't particularly detestable, so Wang Zhan didn't feel much aversion towards him.

「Soon, Wang Zhan and Old Mao followed Xiang Zhanfei into a room.」

Only then did Xiang Zhanfei respectfully bow to the two of them, half-kneeling on the ground as he said in a solemn voice, "I implore you two gentlemen for your help!"

Wang Zhan was taken aback; the sudden scene had indeed caught him off guard.

"What is this...?"

"Little brother, there's something you may not know."

Xiang Zhanfei began in a low voice, "Not far from here, there's a mountain range. This range happens to cut across our fifth war zone, dividing it into two sides. And within that mountain range, many King-level beasts reside."

"For years, they've constantly harassed us."

"Since those are all King-level beasts, the high-level authorities of the fifth war zone haven't interfered, leaving us to handle it ourselves. But..."

Xiang Zhanfei looked troubled, frowning as he continued, "But even though King-level beasts are within our capacity to handle, there are hundreds of them in that mountain range. You two should understand what that implies, right?"

Hundreds of King-level beasts?

Their combined fighting strength could rival dozens of royal-level beasts.

This was indeed rather tricky.

How could Xiang Zhanfei and his men possibly deal with these troublesome creatures?

But Wang Zhan just offered a slight smile. "I think you're overestimating us. How are we supposed to face hundreds of King-level beasts? I suspect if the two of us entered, those creatures would easily deal with us."

Wang Zhan was no fool. Who would take on a task with no benefits?

With that said, Wang Zhan turned to leave.

But Xiang Zhanfei grabbed Wang Zhan's arm and said hurriedly, "Aren't you curious why these creatures haven't attacked us?"

If hundreds of King-level beasts were to assault the fifth war zone, even if they could withstand it, the war zone would be devastated.

Wang Zhan merely shrugged indifferently. "And what does that have to do with me?"

"Well..."

Xiang Zhanfei gave an awkward laugh. Wang Zhan had a point, but it was still rather embarrassing for him.

Seeing Wang Zhan and his companion preparing to leave, Xiang Zhanfei quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Zhan's arm again. "It's because there's treasure inside, and all those King-level beasts are there to guard that treasure!"

Treasure?

Wang Zhan's eyes immediately lit up.

Old Mao, who had seated himself to one side, gestured towards Wang Zhan with his chin. He knew that as soon as "treasure" was mentioned, Wang Zhan wouldn't just stand idly by.

As expected, Wang Zhan immediately became much more enthusiastic. He quickly went to Xiang Zhanfei's side, pulled him down to sit, his interest piqued.

Sensing an opportunity, Xiang Zhanfei finally said, "Actually, I only heard about this."

"SWISH!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wang Zhan's expression changed instantly.

It's said that talking about money strains relationships, but if there's no money involved, what relationship is there to speak of?

Wang Zhan immediately shot Xiang Zhanfei a glare, his expression turning ugly, and made a show of getting up, clearly not intending to waste any more time.

Xiang Zhanfei hurriedly grabbed Wang Zhan's arm. "Little brother, think about it! Hundreds of King-level beasts hiding in there—it definitely isn't simply because they're afraid of our war zone. There's only one other possibility: there really is treasure inside."

"And this treasure is definitely no ordinary find!"

This...

Wang Zhan stared at Xiang Zhanfei for a long moment, then glanced at Old Mao.

A place guarded by hundreds of King-level beasts—even he wouldn't dare enter recklessly. He would need Old Mao's help.

Old Mao just shrugged indifferently. "Go if you want to. I'll go wherever you go. Of course, the more dangerous the place, the better. If you happen to die in there, it would save me a lot of trouble."

"You..."

Wang Zhan gritted his teeth in frustration. If his own strength weren't lacking, he would have slapped him long ago.

But they were all adults; one had to consider the consequences of their actions.

With this in mind, Wang Zhan decided to ignore Old Mao.

As long as Old Mao was by his side, escaping wouldn't be difficult, even if they couldn't deal with hundreds of King-level beasts.

His gaze fell on Xiang Zhanfei again, and he said directly, "Alright, I'll take this deal. Give me the map."

Hearing this, Xiang Zhanfei's face lit up with joy, and he was just about to take out the map.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and Xiang Tian, still wearing only his shorts, walked in from outside. He glanced at Wang Zhan and said directly, "I'm going in with you too!"

If a Martial Arts Grandmaster dared to enter, why would he, a distinguished Grandmaster, be afraid?

Wang Zhan looked at him with amusement. "Interesting."

But Xiang Zhanfei's expression turned ugly. "What are you doing, causing trouble?"
