Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 592 - 590: Seeking Assistance_1
How could they not be shocked after hearing what Uncle Qi said?
"Am I wrong in saying that this young brother has stepped into the Martial King Realm?"
As he spoke, Uncle Qi's gaze once again fell upon Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan merely offered a noncommittal smile. Actually, he already knew he had broken through to the Martial King Realm. However, his combat prowess far exceeded that of an ordinary Martial King. With the Deep Fire Blade and the Heavenly Dragon Armor, his combat strength had soared to the late stage of the Martial King Realm.
Otherwise, how could he have confronted the Thunder Beast? That was a level 1 demonic beast!
Even the combined efforts of several War Deities might have allowed the Thunder Beast to escape.
Fortunately, with the enhancement from the Deep Fire Blade and the Heavenly Dragon Armor, he had managed to defeat the Thunder Beast, albeit with some danger.
"Wow, kid, did your cultivation level jump?"
"When we first met, barely half a month ago, you were just a martial arts Grandmaster. But now, you've actually entered the Martial King Realm?"
"If you told anyone this, who would believe it? How did you advance so quickly?"
"I know! Kid, you didn't grow up eating stimulants, did you?"
Wang Zhan was taken aback. Oh? Can stimulants actually raise one's cultivation level? If that's the case, then bring me a whole trainload.
Xiang Tian's words left Uncle Qi even more astounded. Staring at Xiang Tian disbelievingly, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that in half a month, he became a Martial King, starting from a martial arts Grandmaster?"
This was completely unheard of, something utterly impossible! No one could achieve such a thing. But what exactly had Wang Zhan done to make such a leap in cultivation levels?
How could they know that Wang Zhan actually had the System's support?
Naturally, he couldn't explain it to them in a few words.
Uncle Qi, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "A heaven-gifted prodigy, truly a heaven-gifted prodigy."
Wang Zhan didn't continue discussing cultivation levels with them. After all, if they knew his true advancement speed, they would probably want to find a hole to crawl into.
Soon, Wang Zhan smiled and waved at the two of them, beckoning everyone over. At this moment, everyone had finished scouting the area. Upon seeing Wang Zhan, they began to chatter excitedly.
"Brother Wang, rest assured! We've thoroughly scouted the surroundings. It's absolutely safe; there are no beasts whatsoever!"
"Ah, actually, there was no need to check so meticulously. With Brother Wang stationed here, what could any beasts possibly do? If Brother Wang had arrived at our defense line earlier, I believe our line wouldn't even have fallen."
"Yes, yes! Brother Wang, from now on, I'm your number one follower! If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. I'll strike wherever you point!"
"..."
Wang Zhan just shook his head helplessly, looking at the crowd. He felt truly speechless.
Luo Xue, off to the side, kept her gaze fixed on Wang Zhan. When she noticed his eyes turn towards her, she quickly lowered her head, her shy demeanor resembling that of a newlywed bride.
But Wang Zhan didn't seem to recall promising her anything, did he? Why was she acting like this? How could he possibly understand the thoughts of a young maiden in the first bloom of love?
Meanwhile, Uncle Qi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. Since the surrounding situation has been surveyed, let's not disturb this young brother any longer. You all should hurry up and reinforce the defense line. This section of the defense line needs to be properly re-established. Otherwise, if it's breached, the surrounding war zones will be significantly impacted."
Everyone quickly nodded. This was indeed a matter of utmost importance. If the fifth war zone suffered any breach, the collapse of any defense line would cause them immense trouble. Eventually, the fifth war zone would be overrun by beasts, and at that point, they would lose their homes and become mere food for the beasts.
Just as everyone was busy reinforcing the defense line, a figure suddenly sprinted over from the distance. Uncle Qi and the others instantly tensed up, especially Xiang Tian, who immediately prepared to attack.
Wang Zhan simply waved his hand at him and walked towards the person. It was clear this individual was not a beast in disguise, but a human like themselves.
Looking closely, the person seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Excuse me, are you the Ninth War Deity, Wang Zhan?"
The newcomer glanced at Wang Zhan and hurriedly asked, his voice filled with panic.
Wang Zhan simply nodded and then asked, "I am. And who might you be? What business do you have with me?"
"War Deity, I've finally found you! War Deity Bai Yu sent me to check on your situation here. If you've resolved matters on your end, he hopes you can lend a hand with the problems we're facing over there."
Hearing this, Uncle Qi looked at the young man with astonishment. After all, Bai Yu was renowned; he was already a celebrated War Deity in the fifth war zone. He was practically an undefeated legend. Who would have thought that even Bai Yu would request aid? That he'd be asking Wang Zhan for help... how could this be?
"War Deity, have you resolved your matters here? If so, then we should set off immediately. War Deity Bai Yu's side is about to collapse, and the other War Deities have all gathered there. It seems the beasts are treating that defense line as their primary breakthrough point."
Startled, Wang Zhan quickly asked, "What's their formation like?"
"When I left, three level 1 demonic beasts had already arrived, and there were countless ordinary beasts. It's rumored that a level 2 demonic beast will soon arrive on the battlefield. At that point, even if all the War Deities combine their strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand. But you know the situation in the fifth war zone; if any defense line falls, the already devastated fifth war zone simply cannot hold. Ultimately, everyone will become food for the beasts."
Wang Zhan naturally understood the stakes. He nodded, then looked at Uncle Qi beside him and said, "In that case, I must go and help Bai Yu. We have a deep friendship, and if that defense line collapses, it will also have a significant impact here. As for matters on this side, I'll have to leave them all to you."
Uncle Qi nodded gravely and cupped his fist, saying, "Rest assured, leave everything to me."
"Unless I die, this defense line will absolutely not be broken!"
Wang Zhan patted his shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter if the defense line is breached. Everyone's lives are the most precious. So, at all times, prioritize your own safety. I hope to see all of you when I return."
Uncle Qi looked at him gratefully and nodded emphatically. The others, who were about to reinforce the defense line, had already gathered around Wang Zhan, their faces full of reluctance to see him go. Being near Wang Zhan gave them a strong sense of security. After all, strength commanded respect. With him here, even level 1 demonic beasts wouldn't dare to invade. What was there to fear?
But who would have thought this moment of peace would be so fleeting? Wang Zhan was already preparing to leave so soon.
Xiang Tian stood up, looked at Wang Zhan, and then said, "Since you're preparing to leave, there's no need for me to stay here either. How about I go with you and take a look?"
Wang Zhan shook his head. "You need to stay here and help everyone guard the defense line."
After all, he had just noticed an issue: apart from Uncle Qi, these people were all new Grandmasters. Coupled with their lack of practical combat experience, their fighting capabilities were extremely weak. Although Xiang Tian was in a similar situation, he had been by Wang Zhan's side for this period and had learned a considerable amount of knowledge and combat experience. Therefore, if he stayed here, he could naturally provide an extra layer of security for everyone.
"Fine. In that case, I'll help you guard this defense line for now. But you must remember, once you've resolved War Deity Bai Yu's problem, you have to come back and rendezvous with me immediately. Understood?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Everyone looked at the two of them curiously. Why did their relationship seem so peculiar?
Wang Zhan scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Kid, you should focus on handling things here first. When I get back, I'll contact your father and have him send more people over. After all, there should still be some people in the inner district who can be mobilized."
"That would be excellent. But don't force them. After all, you just dealt with a level 1 demonic beast. I don't think those beasts will dare to counterattack in the short term, so we should be able to hold out. For now, if we can avoid adding pressure to the camp, it's best to lighten their burden."
Wang Zhan simply nodded. He was surprised that Xiang Tian had matured, now knowing how to consider others and understanding team spirit. Indeed, people truly do grow.
Uncle Qi also added, "Yes, since manpower on the defense line is extremely scarce, don't deploy forces from our side. Prioritize resolving War Deity Bai Yu's situation. That will also help alleviate the pressure on the entire battlefield."
Wang Zhan nodded. He had already formulated a battle plan.
The young man said anxiously, "War Deity, when do we set off then? They can't hold out for too much longer over there. It's said a full-scale decisive battle is about to begin."
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "We leave now."
He was actually quite excited. After all, he might encounter a level 2 demonic beast. A level 2 demonic beast couldn't be compared to a level 1 demonic beast. If he managed to eliminate a level 2 demonic beast, how much would his strength improve? It was truly hard to imagine. Wealth is sought in danger. Although it was somewhat perilous, Wang Zhan felt more excitement than apprehension.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, Luo Xue slowly walked over, grabbed Wang Zhan's arm, and said, "Can you take me with you?"
