Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 626 - 624: On the Same Path, But with Different Hearts_1

"Looks like you really are a newbie who just arrived on the Star War Battlefield. Well, in that case, bumping into me can be considered a fortunate event in your misfortune, as I'm quite familiar with the Star War Battlefield. Alright then, since you want to know about things on the Star War Battlefield, I won't hide anything and tell you everything."

Luo Tianhong's demeanor was quite irritating, but Wang Zhan genuinely wanted to understand more about the Star War Battlefield, so it wouldn't be wise to quarrel with her.

Luo Tianhong paid no attention to Wang Zhan's gaze and continued speaking. "On the Star War Battlefield, there are naturally different interfaces. The one we're in now is the lowest interface of the Star War Battlefield."

"Of course, accessing the other interfaces on the Star War Battlefield isn't a difficult task. There are transfer barriers in each interface, and such barriers aren't exactly secretive. As far as I know, there's a transfer barrier in a city within this current interface."

"So, aren't you now wondering why there are still so many people here?"

"And why there are numerous defense lines, war zones, and beasts too?"

Wang Zhan nodded, then urgently asked, "Just get to the point. Why all the pointless chatter?"

"Could you at least be polite when asking others for information? Do you think I owe you something?"

Luo Tianhong rolled her eyes at Wang Zhan.

Subtly, their relationship seemed to have improved somewhat. Wang Zhan put away his Deep Fire Blade. Even though he knew the blade posed little threat to Luo Tianhong, he couldn't be completely defenseless. However, after their talk, his perspective gradually changed.

If Luo Tianhong genuinely intended to attack them, since Wang Zhan knew he was no match for her, he might as well give up all resistance.

"Are you going to speak or not? I don't have all day to waste on your ramblings."

Wang Zhan maintained his hard-line stance. Everywhere he went, he was always stubborn and unyielding. Even when facing formidable beasts, his steadfastness remained, which was not surprising given his numerous brushes with death on Earth. But what could he do?

Anyone who could make him yield was yet to be born.

"Alright, alright! I must have owed you in my past life. Fine, I'll tell you, happy now?"

As Wang Zhan's gaze fell upon her, Luo Tianhong spoke again. "Isn't the principle quite simple? Although the Star War Battlefield contains numerous interfaces, each interface has a certain strength division. So, even if you manage to force your way into other interfaces, what good would it do if your cultivation level isn't high enough?"

Luo Tianhong was speaking the truth, and Wang Zhan was beginning to understand. Indeed, with his current abilities, he could barely hold his own in this current interface, let alone face the endless dangers awaiting him in the upper realm.

"So, you'd better stick with me during this time. After all, there are plenty of ruins with barriers within this interface. If we can get our hands on everything inside, not only will our equipment be significantly improved, but our cultivation will also increase greatly. By then, we'll be strong enough to dominate even in the upper realm."

Xiang Tian's and Luo Xue's eyes lit up. They were both eager to increase their strength, as surviving with their current abilities was already a struggle. This was especially true for Xiang Tian; he had faced perilous situations multiple times, and without Wang Zhan's help, he would have been a corpse many times over by now.

However, Wang Zhan knew all too well, if such good fortune did exist, why would Luo Tianhong bring them along? Even Wang Zhan himself wouldn't be so selfless. Moreover, Luo Tianhong seemed to know everything about this current interface, and with her strength, she clearly didn't need their help. This made her motives incredibly suspicious.

"Alright, now that I've told you about the Star War Battlefield, let's talk about the Seven-star Barrier. The so-called Seven-star Barrier is just an entrance to some ruins. However, to access the ruins, you would have to break through the barrier first. The most annoying thing about this barrier is that it requires several people to open it simultaneously."

"So, you guys got lucky tagging along with me. You should be secretly pleased."

A faint smile appeared on Luo Tianhong's face, which made Wang Zhan want to punch her even more. Yet, what could he do when he was the weaker one? He increasingly felt like he was living at someone else's mercy.

But Wang Zhan believed that such days would not last long. After all, he had the System by his side, and his own level was rapidly improving. At this moment, although he was still a Martial King, he was sure that he would be able to break through again in no time. Furthermore, his actual combat strength far surpassed others at the same cultivation level.

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?"

Seeing that Wang Zhan had been silent all along, Luo Tianhong narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned to look at Wang Zhan behind her before continuing, "Do you even know what respect is? I've said so much, and you haven't replied with a single word?"

"I get it. You still don't trust me, do you? You still don't see me as a teammate?"

Luo Tianhong asked casually, but to her utter surprise, Wang Zhan nodded emphatically. His expression was truly infuriating.

Luo Tianhong's expression darkened further. She really wanted to punch Wang Zhan right then and there. Even if they didn't trust each other, couldn't they just keep it unspoken? Why did he have to say it out loud? How were they supposed to get along after this?

"Alright, enough of your nonsense. Just tell me how far the barrier is from our current location. And entering the barrier leads to the ruins you mentioned, right? But what I need to know now is, what level are the beasts in those ruins?"

Wang Zhan wasn't the type to be blinded by the sight of benefits. Anything could happen on the Star War Battlefield. He remembered being repeatedly warned when he first arrived that the Star War Battlefield was a place that devours people. To survive here, one needed to display willpower far beyond ordinary people. So, he had to remain vigilant at all times here and not be swayed by any temptation.

"Why are you in such a rush? Don't you know this interface we're in is enormous?"

Luo Tianhong blurted impatiently, "The nearest barrier to us is the Seven-star Barrier. It will take us at least half a day to reach it. If you can't even spare that much time, how do you expect to follow me to find other ruins later on?"

At this point, Xiang Tian came over to Wang Zhan's side, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Just stop arguing with her. We're no match for her, and even if we don't trust her, what can we do? Besides, sticking with her is good for us. Once our cultivation improves, we'll have the capital to do whatever we want. But for now, it's best to maintain a decent relationship with her, don't you think?"

As they spoke, Luo Xue also came over and began to persuade Wang Zhan, "Brother Wang, I think Xiang Tian has a point. We do need Luo Tianhong right now, so it's better to keep things peaceful with her. That's beneficial for everyone."

Wang Zhan knew this, of course. But there was something about Luo Tianhong that he couldn't quite place, something that gave him a nagging sense of crisis. Moreover, for years, Wang Zhan had relied on himself, step by step, to reach his current level. He disliked being controlled by external forces, let alone by other people. Especially since Luo Tianhong looked like a young girl. Being outmatched by someone like that was indeed embarrassing. If word of this got out, how could he hold his head high in the future?

"COUGH."

Suddenly, Luo Tianhong coughed, then looked at the three of them, crossing her arms and saying, "Can you three stop whispering? We're supposed to be teammates in the same camp now, aren't we? But you're all huddled together, talking about who knows what, leaving me out like this. Do you really think that's appropriate?"

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment. They had no say in the matter. It was obvious that if it weren't for Wang Zhan, the two of them wouldn't even qualify to follow Luo Tianhong, let alone search for ruins or break through barriers.

"We're merely in a cooperative relationship. There's no need for such closeness."

Wang Zhan spoke again, turning his head away.

Luo Tianhong shrugged indifferently, "Fine. Remember what you said. As long as you don't regret it, it doesn't matter to me."

"Don't worry. I never regret my decisions."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue could only shake their heads helplessly. Luo Tianhong paid Wang Zhan no mind, and the group continued onward.
