Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 625 - 623 Seven-star Barrier_1

"Outside the fifth war zone?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhan's words, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue shook their heads. Clearly, they had no idea what lay beyond the fifth war zone.

After all, over the years, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had never ventured beyond the fifth war zone. Their world was confined within this zone, and they didn't even know much about what lay beyond it.

Wang Zhan gave them a helpless glance, shook his head, and then said, "I should have known better than to expect any useful information from you. It seems we have to depend on ourselves after all."

Of course, Wang Zhan was merely jesting. After all, they were teammates now. If they knew everything about the area beyond the fifth war zone, wouldn't that drain most of the fun? Only through exploration could one truly appreciate its wonders.

Xiang Tian shrugged and added, "We've only just left, and you're already complaining about us. I bet it won't be long before you abandon us."

Even though Xiang Tian was joking, Luo Xue's expression immediately became most unsightly.

"Luo Xue," Xiang Tian continued, "we need to prepare an escape route for ourselves. Who knows when this guy might suddenly abandon us? We can't pin all our hopes on him then; we'll have to rely on ourselves for everything."

However, Xiang Tian's words made Luo Xue increasingly anxious. She had always wanted to stay by Wang Zhan's side, but she was keenly aware of her own lack of strength. Following Wang Zhan, she felt she would only be a burden. Now, Xiang Tian's words reverberated in her mind like thunder.

However, neither Wang Zhan nor Xiang Tian noticed Luo Xue's expression. They were about to leave the fifth war zone, and to them, the new world ahead seemed far more interesting and worth exploring.

"Beyond the fifth war zone, of course, are other war zones. Moreover, they all form the dividing line between the war zones and the demonic beasts. A single misstep could lead to irrevocable doom, so every step must be taken with extreme caution."

A sudden voice startled them all. Wang Zhan instinctively turned his head and brandished the Deep Fire Blade.

His eyes glinted with a frosty light; after all, he hadn't even sensed anyone approaching.

But after recognizing the person standing behind him, his expression turned even grimmer, and he asked reflexively, "What are you doing here?"

The others also turned their heads. All eyes fell on the person behind them. To everyone's surprise, the person standing there was Luo Tianhong.

Luo Tianhong shrugged, then said with a smile, "You should be grateful I've come. After leaving the fifth war zone, these people with you are all just a bunch of good-for-nothings. They don't even know what lies beyond the fifth war zone. So, having me by your side should make you feel most comfortable, don't you think? And don't you find that my arrival always helps you to some extent?"

It was true. Luo Tianhong had indeed provided Wang Zhan with a most significant amount of help, even assisting him in raising his cultivation partly and, most importantly, resolving the crisis at the defense line. Yet, Wang Zhan always harbored suspicions about Luo Tianhong.

After all, Luo Tianhong's strength was overly terrifying, and he acted with extremely strong purpose. This gave Wang Zhan the feeling that he couldn't fathom him, and he had no idea what Luo Tianhong's true objective was. Therefore, whenever Wang Zhan saw Luo Tianhong, his confidence would instantly vanish, and he wouldn't even feel like conversing with him.

"Then what is your purpose in coming this time?" Wang Zhan's gaze suddenly fell upon Luo Tianhong, his Deep Fire Blade still raised, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Luo Tianhong paid no mind to his attitude and said with a smile, "I say, can't you be a little nicer to me? In any case, I am your lifesaver, right? If I hadn't appeared on the defense line, not only would you have died there, but even those people with you wouldn't have had a chance to leave."

Luo Tianhong wasn't joking; that was indeed the reality, and Wang Zhan knew it. But compared to the debt of saving his life, Wang Zhan was more interested in discerning what plans Luo Tianhong truly had in mind.

"Be direct. What exactly is your purpose in following us? We're all intelligent people; let's not waste each other's time," Wang Zhan said, getting straight to the point.

Luo Tianhong shrugged helplessly. "Are you interested in taking a trip with me? Rest assured, the rewards will definitely satisfy you."

"First, tell us where."

At this moment, Wang Zhan and the others had no idea where to go. After leaving the fifth war zone, everything around them was unknown. Even Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, who were with him, were clueless. They were even more unsure of their current location and where they should head next.

Actually, if it were just Wang Zhan alone, he would naturally just roam the Star War Battlefield as he pleased. Why would he concern himself with so much?

He now had only one goal: to raise his combat strength as quickly as possible. All other matters were unimportant.

However, now that Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were with him, he needed to consider their well-being too. After all, they were comrades, weren't they?

"The Seven-star Barrier."

Luo Tianhong squinted at Wang Zhan, then shook his head and said, "I know you must be extremely unfamiliar with this name, so you don't need to know exactly what the Seven-star Barrier is. However, if we can open the Seven-star Barrier and enter it, it's highly probable that both your cultivation and mine will be further enhanced."

"Of course, if these two companions of yours can also withstand the pressure, they too can achieve some considerable improvement within the Seven-star Barrier."

Wang Zhan hesitated. But then he remembered the last time he and Luo Tianhong had entered a barrier, Luo Tianhong indeed hadn't done anything out of line. Although Luo Tianhong had benefited the most, Wang Zhan had also gained some advantages.

"Did you hear me or not? If you don't want to come with me, then forget it. An opportunity is right in front of you; if you miss it, such a good chance won't come by again so easily."

As he spoke, Luo Tianhong prepared to turn and leave, as if it made no difference to him whether Wang Zhan came or not.

Xiang Tian quickly walked to Wang Zhan's side and said, "Since he's already put it that way, why don't we go and see? Besides, aren't we without a clear path forward right now anyway? If we happen to be able to improve our cultivation near the barrier, that would be a great boost for us, wouldn't it?"

After experiencing the battle at the defense line, Xiang Tian had also come to a profound realization: he absolutely had to improve his own strength as quickly as possible. He couldn't always stand behind others and be protected.

Only when his own strength gradually increased could he become the guardian of those around him and not drag anyone down.

Luo Xue, who seemed to share Xiang Tian's thoughts, also walked to Wang Zhan's side and said, "Brother Wang, why don't we go in and take a look together?"

"Anyway, there are three of us, and Luo Tianhong is just one person. If anything happens, with our numbers, we can bully him for being outnumbered. There shouldn't be any problem." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wang Zhan, however, just shook his head and smiled.

In the face of absolute strength, numbers were utterly meaningless.

And judging by the power Luo Tianhong had displayed, even two Wang Zhans combined would not be his match. So, if the three of them were to clash with Luo Tianhong, the final outcome was naturally predictable.

"Wang Zhan? I say, when did you become such a coward? I remember you used to be so ambitious, didn't you? What, are you scared now that you've seen my true strength?"

Luo Tianhong walked over to Wang Zhan, shook his head, and then said, "This isn't the you I know. But since you're not interested, I won't insist. Sigh, what a pity."

Just as Luo Tianhong was about to leave, Wang Zhan quickly moved to his side, raising his Deep Fire Blade.

"Who told you I wasn't planning to go with you?"

As he spoke, Wang Zhan had already walked ahead of Luo Tianhong. Xiang Tian and Luo Xue quickly followed, clearly prepared to accompany Luo Tianhong.

Although Wang Zhan didn't know what Luo Tianhong was truly thinking, or even what he saw in him, Wang Zhan was very clear about one thing: now that they had left the fifth war zone, they could encounter powerful enemies at any time. However, with Luo Tianhong around, things would be most easily handled, and it also provided an extra layer of security for his two companions.

"That's more like it."

Luo Tianhong smiled with satisfaction, patted Wang Zhan's shoulder with the air of a seasoned veteran, and then said, "Since everyone is ready to travel together, I won't hide anything from you. The Seven-star Barrier I mentioned is actually a seal within this current interface."

"Interface? What does that mean? Are you saying there are multiple interfaces on the Star War Battlefield?"

Wang Zhan didn't press further about the Seven-star Barrier. He had been on the Star War Battlefield for some time now but had always wandered back and forth within the fifth war zone, helping the people there solve many problems. However, his understanding of the Star War Battlefield itself was very limited.
