Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 554 - 552: Fifth War Zone_1

The sound of dragons' roars lingered on the horizon.

Wang Zhan stood in the Golden Light, his expression terrifying.

He glanced at the spotted tiger not far away, his lips curling into a smile. He beckoned to the spotted tiger, saying directly, "Won't you come in?"

"Not so fierce now? Aren't you a royal-level beast? Is that all you've got?"

The spotted tiger was enraged beyond measure. It was the first time it had been teased by a martial arts Grandmaster!

The spotted tiger repeatedly launched attacks on the golden light screen, but all to no avail, failing to breach the light screen's defence.

As for Wang Zhan, he stood within the light screen, leisurely watching the spotted tiger. There was no denying the comfort he relished.

"Despicable humans!"

The spotted tiger roared furiously, its expression growing increasingly hideous, yet it could not penetrate the light screen encapsulating Wang Zhan.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan stood with his hands behind his back. The Heavenly Dragon Armor is indeed a remarkable treasure, far superior to my Sky Profound Battle Armor. If only the Heavenly Dragon Armor had an offensive effect. But when I recall that it's merely defensive gear, I quickly dismiss the thought. Possessing armor capable of withstanding a royal-level beast's skill is already a rarity. How could I get any greedier?

As the spotted tiger contemplated how to breach Wang Zhan's level barrier, Old Mao seized the perfect opportunity to launch his attack.

"BOOM!"

Being at the late stage of Martial King, Old Mao was on a completely different level from the spotted tiger.

In an instant, the spotted tiger felt severe pain in its body before being flung airborne.

Old Mao showed no intention of letting it go, pressing his pursuit.

However, the spotted tiger, being a royal-level beast, could not be disposed of so easily.

The spotted tiger hastily tossed several King-level beasts around it, halting Old Mao's pursuit, before making a swift escape!

By the time Old Mao had dealt with the nuisances before him, the spotted tiger was nowhere to be seen.

Wang Zhan then, Xu Xu, let out a sigh, withdrew the golden light screen, and immediately went to Old Mao's side. He gave Old Mao a thumbs-up and commented, "Who would have thought you, old fellow, possessed such powerful means?"

Just one move had been overwhelming for the spotted tiger; it had even fled in panic. Had the fight continued, Old Mao could undoubtedly have finished off the spotted tiger immediately.

There was no denying the vast gap between them...

Old Mao glanced at Wang Zhan and responded impassively, "Compared to you, my skills are hardly worth mentioning."

"Huh?"

Wang Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a grin and said, "I've been chased around by the spotted tiger this whole time. But you? You completely crushed the spotted tiger. Isn't the gap between us clear?"

Of course, although Old Mao knew there was a certain gap between them, in his heart, he was extremely clear that Wang Zhan's combat power was definitely much stronger than his own.

Currently, this was only because of the level difference between them. Once Wang Zhan also advanced to Martial King, even if he were only at the early stage, Old Mao wasn't even confident he could continue to overpower Wang Zhan. Such was the gap between them.

After all, the means Wang Zhan had just exhibited were admittedly rather shocking.

Wang Zhan walked up to him, smiled, and said, "Alright, it's good that we've dealt with the spotted tiger. I don't think it will be back anytime soon."

Old Mao had severely injured the spotted tiger. It would definitely need to find a place to recuperate. How could it possibly show its face again?

After all, if it encountered Old Mao in its current state, the spotted tiger wouldn't even have the strength to fight. The eventual outcome would be its death at Old Mao's hands.

The spotted tiger, being a royal-level beast, couldn't possibly be that foolish.

With the departure of the spotted tiger, the entire Beast Tide also retreated.

Ye Chen and the others quickly joined Wang Zhan. Ye Chen, in particular, bowed deeply to Old Mao and said with emotion, "Sir, your righteous act! If you hadn't suddenly stepped in to help, we would likely have..."

Ye Chen dared not even imagine. The last time, they had barely managed to resist the spotted tiger's attack, and that was at the expense of most lives. More importantly, he had been severely injured in that battle and currently lacked the strength to fight the spotted tiger at all.

If Old Mao hadn't suddenly appeared, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

The others no longer spoke ill of Old Mao. They had previously assumed Old Mao and Wang Zhan were inside collaborators, but now it seemed they had contributed the most. Moreover, the sight of Wang Zhan's combat prowess left them speechless; they had never encountered anyone so formidable.

Realizing this, everyone gave Wang Zhan a thumbs-up.

Wang Zhan responded with a restrained smile and said, "Alright now. Since we're all living together, we're teammates. How could we stand by and watch you come to harm?"

"Besides, we need your help now."

Ye Chen was puzzled. Looking at Wang Zhan, he asked, "What do you need my help for?"

Without hesitation, Wang Zhan got straight to the point and said, "Familiarize us with this place. I just arrived, and Old Mao has always stayed in his own place without venturing out, so we aren't very familiar with the situation outside. Right now, we can only get information through you."

Ye Chen suddenly laughed. Who would have thought it would be such a small matter?

Compared to everyone's lives, this was utterly negligible.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately pulled Wang Zhan and Old Mao back to the camp. He then said, "Do you two know about war zones?"

"War zone?"

Wang Zhan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's a war zone?"

"Hmm..."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment before explaining, "Actually, a so-called war zone is a defence line. It's where we fight against the Beast Clan. We belong to the fifth war zone here, but we're not the main force of the fifth war zone."

"Of course, we're in a peripheral zone, so we generally don't encounter very troublesome enemies."

Wang Zhan immediately shook his head. If he and Old Mao hadn't appeared, wouldn't the spotted tiger have been a troublesome enemy? Their defence line would have been breached instantly.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan asked, "So no one came to help you?"

"They did," Ye Chen replied straightforwardly. "Since I've told you this is a war zone, people from the fifth war zone would naturally come to help. But lately, something seems to have happened with the Beast Clan. They've been frequently trying to break through our defence line, and as a result, we've suffered heavy losses. Of course, it's not just the fifth war zone facing this; all the surrounding war zones are in a similar predicament. Therefore, our manpower is also quite tight."

"Even if they knew we were in trouble here, they couldn't send assistance immediately."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen's face showed a hint of distress. He wasn't even sure about the current situation in the fifth war zone.

After all, when they first engaged the spotted tiger, he had contacted the people from the fifth war zone but had received no response.

There was only one possible explanation for this: the fifth war zone must also be in serious trouble.

With everyone on the main Battlefield, who would have the time to pay attention to them?

"By the way, given your impressive skills, why don't you head straight to the main Battlefield?" Ye Chen suggested, his eyes lighting up.

However, Wang Zhan frowned and responded, "We still have some matters to take care of."

Old Mao would definitely not want to meddle in such affairs, and Wang Zhan also needed to increase his own combat strength.

In his current state, even if he entered the main Battlefield, he would just be cannon fodder.

Under such circumstances, appearing on the battlefield would only mean staying there forever.

Would Wang Zhan put himself in such danger?

This wasn't to say he lacked a sense of honor, but rather that he had greater things to accomplish.

Ye Chen looked visibly disappointed and said, "If you could go to the fifth war zone, I think everyone would be very happy. After all, even the spotted tiger was no match for you."

Wang Zhan shook his head with a smile. "In your entire war zone, don't tell me there's no one capable of instantly killing a spotted tiger?"

Ye Chen lowered his head and murmured softly, "That's actually the case."

"Each war zone faces different types of Beast Clan members. The ones we encounter most in the fifth war zone are royal-level beasts, so there's no need for exceptionally powerful individuals to be stationed here."

"So when we encounter royal-level beasts, it naturally gets a bit tricky..."

But they had no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on; all defence lines were interconnected.

If one section of the defence line failed, it would trigger a chain reaction across all other sections.

Ultimately, it would lead to the collapse of the front line.

Wang Zhan shrugged helplessly, his gaze falling on Old Mao as he asked, "So, what do you think we should..."

Instantly, Old Mao's expression changed. He turned his face to one side and said, "I have no interest in these matters. If you want to get involved, go by yourself. But don't drag me into it. Also, if you die in there, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Zhan gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Old Mao to death. But the disparity in their power was enormous; trying to kill Old Mao seemed truly unrealistic, didn't it?

Ye Chen, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Of course, if you don't want to join the fifth war zone, you can retreat to the rear."

"The rear?"

Taken aback, Wang Zhan promptly asked, "The rear? Where is that?"
