Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 639 - 637 Inheritance_1

But now, it didn't look like he had been killed at all. In fact, he didn't have a single mark on his body and didn't feel any fatigue. He seemed to be even more vigorous than he was in his prime.

"What on earth is going on?"

Shock painted Wang Zhan's face. Clearly, he was utterly clueless about what was happening, especially considering Luo Tianhong had previously attacked him ruthlessly and without mercy.

Having glanced around, Wang Zhan finally realized he was the only one left. This suggested he had woken up suddenly. Perhaps it was because of some magical item on his body?

Subconsciously, Wang Zhan looked himself over, but found nothing.

However, as he turned, he suddenly saw white lights flashing in the darkness before him. Then, the continuous sound of dragon roars echoed, and an overwhelming pressure washed over him.

Wang Zhan could even sense the tremendous energy contained within those dragon roars.

The next moment, a white dragon materialized before Wang Zhan, roaring continuously.

"What is this…"

Wang Zhan stared in disbelief at the white dragon in front of him. The white dragon appeared somewhat ethereal, not a physical entity, yet it bore some resemblance to the human figure he and Luo Tianhong had seen earlier.

Could the dragon's apparition in front of him be a remnant of power contained within these ruins?

Just as Wang Zhan curiously approached the dragon's apparition, dragon roars echoed once more. In an instant, a blinding light assaulted his vision, and everything around him was enveloped in whiteness.

Immediately after a roar, the white dragon's apparition transformed into a human form.

An old man with white hair and a white beard slowly appeared before Wang Zhan.

"Are you human or beast?"

Instinctively, Wang Zhan stepped back, alertness flashing in his eyes as he readied his Deep Fire Blade.

To his surprise, however, the Deep Fire Blade had been restored to its original condition. He distinctly remembered that when he had lost consciousness, there were visible cracks on the blade.

How was it suddenly restored?

However, Wang Zhan had no time to dwell on it now. He first had to deal with the apparition before him. After all, he had no idea if it was a friend or foe. He remembered the previous apparition he and Luo Tianhong had encountered—an encounter that had nearly cost them both their lives.

"Young man, there's no need to be so scared or cautious," the old man spoke slowly, then continued, "If I wanted to harm you, I could do it quite effortlessly. Even though I'm just a mere fragment of a soul, your strength couldn't even resist a tenth of mine."

"Also, things are much more complicated in the Star War Battlefield than you imagine. It's not just populated by humans and beasts. Other life forms exist here too. The realm you currently occupy is the lowest plane in the Star War Battlefield, so it is inhabited only by the lowest forms of life."

Wang Zhan came to a realization. He awkwardly looked at the old man and asked, "So you're saying both demonic beasts and us humans are the lowest level of existence?"

"What else?"

The old man continued, "When you leave this realm, you will witness entities of phenomenal strength. What you see then will undoubtedly shock you."

"So, you should do your best to increase your cultivation level. After all, with your current abilities, even if you leave this plane, it won't be easy to survive on the upper planes of the Star War Battlefield. The entities that exist in the higher planes are far beyond your imagination. They're truly terrifying."

Wang Zhan then put away his Deep Fire Blade. He sensed that the old man before him was not a malevolent character. The old man's words rang true. If the old man had wanted to harm him, Wang Zhan knew he would have stood absolutely no chance of retaliating.

"So who exactly are you? Don't you belong to this realm? Have you previously visited other planes of the Star War Battlefield?"

Wang Zhan looked at the old man with curiosity. There was a mysterious air about the old man, especially his ability to transform into a dragon—this was beyond Wang Zhan's comprehension.

However, on careful reflection, Wang Zhan recognized a significant difference between the old man before him and the physical forms of demonic beasts. The energy contained within the dragon's roar was far beyond what any demonic beast could muster. Moreover, if one listened attentively, faint traces of righteousness could even be discerned within it.

The old man spoke with a smile, "You don't need to know who I truly am. Just understand that there is a destiny linking us. I'm simply a residual spirit residing in the Heavenly Dragon Armor. Had you not appeared, I wouldn't have been brought to this place—a place I once visited long ago. I must admit, this is truly a great stroke of fate."

Wang Zhan was stunned. He had never imagined that such coincidences could occur in the world.

"So does that mean you saved me?"

Wang Zhan recalled the oppressive sensation he had felt; it was a feeling that was unmistakably real. Besides, Luo Tianhong wouldn't have let him go easily, nor would he have shown mercy and played such ridiculous tricks on him.

"Otherwise, do you think with your level of cultivation, you could withstand the pressure from that Spirit Devouring Beast?"

"However, I must admit that the Spirit Devouring Beast has become incredibly formidable. Even I am not necessarily its match. After all, at this moment I am but a mere residual spirit. Therefore, I had to resort to making you temporarily appear dead. Fortunately, we managed to deceive it without arousing any suspicion from that Spirit Devouring Beast."

The old man glanced at Wang Zhan and approached him, patting him on the shoulder. He then commented with a smile, "Although your cultivation level is low, your willpower is indeed quite tenacious. Bringing you back from the brink of death wasn't an easy task. It also required your own willpower, and I must say, your willpower is remarkably tenacious. I am very pleased. You are indeed a fine candidate to inherit my legacy." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Legacy?"

Wang Zhan was taken aback. He had been on the Star War Battlefield for quite some time, yet he hadn't inherited any legacy. However, he had once heard about legacies when he was back on Earth. A legacy is typically passed down when a great master is on the verge of death, transferring their cultivation to someone else.

Indeed, it could be seen as a blessing for the younger generation.

However, Wang Zhan hadn't expected that he would be so fortunate.

"If you bestow all your lifetime cultivation onto me, will you still continue to exist in this state?"

Wang Zhan looked mournful. Glancing at the old man, he felt a sense of goodwill towards him. If boosting his own cultivation meant the obliteration of the old man, he certainly wouldn't allow that to happen.

The old man smiled and shook his head, "To have any residual cultivation left is already fortunate. Thankfully, I met a satisfying young man like you before my imminent death. This way, my cultivation won't be utterly wasted. So, why ask for more?"

"So, are you saying if I accept your cultivation, you will vanish forever?"

Wang Zhan clenched his fist slightly and shook his head as well. He would absolutely not do that.

The old man seemed to understand his intentions and replied with a smile, "My appearance was due to the destruction of the Heavenly Dragon Armor. Now that the Heavenly Dragon Armor has completely vanished, I won't linger for much longer. Even if I didn't pass my cultivation onto you, I would eventually dissipate into dust. So, bestowing my legacy onto you before I pass away would be more worthwhile. Consider it a blessing meant for you."

"After all, fate binds us together. Not everyone is capable of controlling the Heavenly Dragon Armor. The Armor requires some form of affinity with humans. But who would have thought that you, with such minuscule strength, could control the Heavenly Dragon Armor? It seems as though fate has already ordained everything."

"So, don't overthink this. This cultivation is destined for you."

Wang Zhan took a deep breath, "In that case, can you answer some of my questions before transmitting your cultivation?"

The old man nodded and replied with a smile, "Go ahead, youngster. What do you want to know about? But if you are asking about the planes of the Star War Battlefield, I won't tell you. Revealing this now will do you no good. You just need to enhance your cultivation and gradually come to understand these things for yourself."

"I understand that reasoning," Wang Zhan said. "I'm not at all curious about everything on the Star War Battlefield. All I have to do is enhance my cultivation, then I can stand at the top of the Pyramid. Besides, with my current strength, attempting to understand certain things that are inaccessible to me would only pique my curiosity and bring myself more trouble."

Wang Zhan's words evidently earned the old man's approval. Wang Zhan's mental fortitude was truly commendable; it was a rare quality to find among his peers.

"Youngster, since you claim no interest in anything about the Star War Battlefield, what then, do you want to ask?"

An image suddenly flashed across Wang Zhan's mind. He clenched his fist and said directly, "I want to know everything about the Spirit Devouring Beasts, including their weaknesses."

There was a deep-seated feud between him and Luo Tianhong. Although Wang Zhan hadn't actually died, he was determined to settle this score with Luo Tianhong.
