Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 595 - 593: Meeting Luo Tianhong Again_1

Due to the absence of any level 1 demonic beasts, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu instantly dominated the battlefield.

In a moment, all the demonic beasts on the battlefield turned tail and ran, and peace was once again restored to the defense line.

The onlookers who had been watching the battle joined in the cheering, their shouts resonating through the air.

Their excitement was palpable. They had not experienced such a decisive victory in a long time. This overwhelming triumph was undoubtedly owing to Wang Zhan.

After swiftly restoring order, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu walked over to the crowd.

"Wow, I didn't expect the Ninth War God to be so handsome!"

It was undeniable that Wang Zhan, in comparison to the other war gods, was the youngest of them all. Even Bai Yu, standing before him, could not compare.

"Indeed! To possess such formidable strength at such a young age, he must have put in far more effort than most of us, right?"

"It seems I'll have to strive harder in the future."

"Listening to you, it's as if we're all planning to slow down! Brothers, let's all push ourselves harder together!"

Someone in the crowd abruptly shouted, and the rest erupted in cheers. Recalling the recent battle, they even longed to be on the battlefield, fighting alongside Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan gave the crowd a wave before turning to Bai Yu and asking, "What are your plans for the near future? It seems like a waste of your talents to stay on this defense line. After all, we still don't know the situation on the other lines."

Wang Zhan had a big picture view. The Fifth Battlefield was a vast, interconnected entity. The collapse of any single defense line would have a significant impact on the entire Fifth Battlefield, placing everyone in the rear in danger.

So, although two defense lines had already been solidified with Wang Zhan's help, the Fifth War Zone contained far too many defense lines. Moreover, almost all the outer defense lines had been breached, leaving the defense line they guarded as the final level barrier.

"I haven't decided yet," Bai Yu replied. "I'm still unsure what these demonic beasts are planning. I'm worried that if they launch a sudden counterattack, it will be extremely difficult for everyone to resist, and this defense line will collapse."

Bai Yu had carefully assessed everyone's combat capabilities. Apparently, no one present was capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility. If he and Wang Zhan were to leave, this place would become a breakthrough point for the demonic beasts.

It wouldn't even require a level 1 demonic beast to personally enter the battlefield to cause this defense line to crumble.

"Then I'll request some reinforcements from the Inner War Zone?" Wang Zhan suggested.

At this moment, there were still many elite soldiers in the Inner War Zone. Although all nine War Gods had been mobilized, it didn't mean the Fifth War Zone had exhausted all its strength.

"But what's your next step? Have you already decided where to begin?" Bai Yu asked.

Currently, all defense lines were extremely quiet. It seemed the demonic beasts were brewing some grand conspiracy. However, if all nine War Gods were to gather in one place, all other defense lines would become vulnerable. If the demonic beasts chose not to break through the defense lines guarded by the War Gods, the situation would become troublesome.

"Then let's stay on this defense line for the time being," Wang Zhan proposed. "We can assess the situation first and act when an opportunity arises?"

Bai Yu nodded. Those standing around him looked at Wang Zhan with excitement. After all, they still wished to fight alongside Wang Zhan. If he left, they would completely lose the chance.

Since all the beasts on the battlefield had been eliminated, cleaning up naturally didn't require Wang Zhan and Bai Yu's intervention. The two quickly returned to their military tent, with Luo Xue consistently trailing behind them.

Bai Yu looked at Wang Zhan beside him with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "And this is...?"

He remembered that when he and Wang Zhan had parted ways previously, only Xiang Tian was with Wang Zhan. Now, Xiang Tian was gone, and a girl had appeared, which naturally piqued his curiosity. Although Bai Yu wasn't one to gossip, he still wanted to know her relationship with Wang Zhan. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"A burden," Wang Zhan said bluntly, paying no mind to Luo Xue who was standing nearby. "She's always following me, trying to improve her combat strength. I don't know how to get rid of her. Do you have any suggestions?"

Bai Yu looked extremely embarrassed. The girl is still standing right here, he thought. How could Wang Zhan say such things so candidly? How mortifying for her!

He even began to suspect he had asked the wrong question.

But to Bai Yu's utter astonishment, Luo Xue showed no sign of anger. Instead, she quickly walked to Wang Zhan's side, grabbed his arm, and declared, "So what if I'm a burden? You promised Uncle Qi you'd let me stay by your side. Whether you keep your promise or not, I'm not leaving!"

Luo Xue was quite resolute. In fact, the moment she saw Wang Zhan, she had felt a flutter in her heart. She had even thought about staying by his side for the rest of her life. Of course, she didn't know how long this affection would last, but for now, it was enough that it remained unchanged.

Bai Yu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Ah, youth is wonderful! So much energy for everything!"

"However, I must remind you: a man can only wield his blade with divine prowess when his heart is free of women!"

As Bai Yu spoke, he glanced towards Luo Xue, whose face was gradually darkening. Then, Bai Yu immediately dashed outside. Wang Zhan was left speechless. But I have to admit, he thought, Bai Yu's words seem to hold some truth.

"Do you think so too?" Luo Xue asked Wang Zhan, her face etched with grievance, looking as if she might burst into tears at any second.

Wang Zhan hurriedly explained, "No, no, no! Bai Yu and I are different types of people, rest assured. Even if there's a woman by my side, I can still wield my blade and achieve godhood!"

Luo Xue, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Previously, when I stood beside Wang Zhan, I often felt apprehensive and fearful, Luo Xue mused. After all, he gave off an extremely distant and cold impression. But as I interacted with him more, I slowly discovered that he seemed completely different from what I initially thought. He's actually very warm.

This feeling is getting better and better.

Wang Zhan, however, was completely oblivious to her emotional shift. Just then, two young men rushed into the tent from outside.

After glancing at Wang Zhan, one of the young men clasped his fist respectfully and said, "War Deity, a suspicious individual has been spotted outside."

Wang Zhan paused, then promptly stood up and followed the two young men out. On the way, he asked, "Hasn't Bai Yu already gone out with you? If there's an issue, you should just report to him. Why bother telling me? If you suspect the person, deal with them directly. Our principle now is to eliminate threats, even if it means erring on the side of caution. If someone infiltrates our defense line, the entire Fifth War Zone will be in danger!"

"No, War Deity Bai Yu has already seen the person," the young man replied. "He felt it would be best if you handled it, since the person is your friend. That's why he sent us to fetch you."

Wang Zhan looked at the young man curiously. I haven't been on the Star War Battlefield for long, and I'm only familiar with a few people here. Xiang Tian is currently stationed at the defense line. As for Old Mao…

At this thought, his expression instantly darkened.

The tragic scene replayed vividly in his mind. If Old Mao hadn't suddenly intervened, placing himself between them and the danger, they all might have perished by now.

Moreover, Old Mao had saved him countless times. The bond between them was incredibly subtle; in fact, even Wang Zhan himself couldn't quite articulate what kind of feeling it was. He had even come to regard Old Mao as family. After all, over so many years, very few people had protected him so meticulously.

Filled with deep emotion, Wang Zhan quickly reached the crowd. Standing among them was a young woman. Taking a closer look, Wang Zhan froze. He never would have imagined seeing her here!

"Luo Tianhong?!"

When Wang Zhan and Luo Tianhong had parted ways, although they had said they might meet again if fate decreed, Wang Zhan had never truly expected to encounter her again. After all, the Star War Battlefield was so vast; meeting a specific person was no easy feat. Most encounters were merely fleeting acquaintances.

Luo Tianhong was equally surprised to see Wang Zhan here. She quickly asked, "What are you doing on this defense line? Shouldn't you be in the Inner War Zone?"

Everyone was taken aback. No one had expected Luo Tianhong to actually know Wang Zhan.

When they had first discovered Luo Tianhong, she had been among the fallen beasts. Although she lay on the ground like the beasts, a check revealed she was still alive. However, no one among them recognized her. After all, everyone on the defense line was an acquaintance, easily identifiable at a glance.

"War Deity, you two really know each other?" one of the young men exclaimed.

After the young man spoke, everyone else left. After all, since Luo Tianhong's identity had been confirmed, there was no longer anything to worry about.

Wang Zhan, however, paid no attention to their gazes. He walked up to Luo Tianhong in a few strides and said with a smile, "By the way, you haven't told me how you suddenly appeared here."

Wang Zhan didn't answer Luo Tianhong's question, instead countering with his own. Luo Tianhong always seemed mysterious to him, and now she had appeared here so stealthily, as if out of nowhere.
