I never expected this young lad to be so powerful. I guess I really did underestimate him!
Zi Yuan had heard many rumors about Wang Zhan, but she had never truly believed soone so young could be that formidable—certainly not to the point of overpowering people like Bai Yu. However, she had never anticipated Wang Zhan's combat skills would be so much more impressive than their own. Even if she were to intervene, she couldn't have threatened the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast to this extent. The beast was already weakened and clearly wouldn't last much longer under Wang Zhan's assault; its defeat was rely a matter of ti.
On this point alone, Zi Yuan was already far inferior to Wang Zhan.
At so point, Xiang Tian had walked over to Zi Yuan's side. Arms crossed, he chuckled and said, "I told you, this brother of mine isn't soone you can easily fathom. And he hasn't even used all his trump cards yet. If he did, I believe he could even fight the Xuanlong Beast. After all, he clashed with it the other day, and the Xuanlong Beast didn't gain any advantage. We only retreated because Wang Zhan was worried about our safety."
"The Xuanlong Beast? That's a formidable Level 2 beast, not as simple as you make it out to be! I know Wang Zhan is indeed very strong, but if he were to face the Xuanlong Beast, it's truly uncertain who would be stronger."
Of course, Zi Yuan wasn't intentionally trying to dampen Wang Zhan's spirit; she was just speaking frankly. After all, the Xuanlong Beast's inherent strength was undeniable. Even if Wang Zhan was extrely powerful, at best he could only fight the Xuanlong Beast to a draw. How could he possibly defeat it?
Even if Wang Zhan was exceptionally strong, he was still only a Martial King. Moreover, anyone could see he had just entered the Martial King Realm. In contrast, the Xuanlong Beast, as a Level 2 beast, could contend with a peak Martial King. In fact, it wouldn't even deign to properly look at a peak Martial King.
Xiang Tian didn't explain further. His firm belief in and understanding of Wang Zhan's strength was enough for him. What others said was their own concern. Besides, he knew Wang Zhan's character well: Wang Zhan was extrely low-key and disliked comparing himself to others or vying for supremacy.
As they spoke, the surrounding beasts charged at them again. Xiang Tian and Zi Yuan didn't waste any more ti and quickly joined the battlefield. Compared to the ordinary warriors, Zi Yuan and Xiang Tian were indeed much stronger. With their participation, the battlefield was brought under human control. As for the demonic beasts, they were routed and quickly scattered, fleeing in disarray. But Zi Yuan had already set up a defense line; how could she let them escape so easily?
High above, the battle between Wang Zhan and the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast had reached a fever pitch. The Lion-body Demon-faced Beast was now on its last breath. It stared coldly at Wang Zhan, its eyes seeming to burn with flas, clearly aware that it would not leave this place alive.
"Kid, since you're so aggressive, even if I die, I'll make you pay a terrible price!"
As it spoke, a strange white mist suddenly appeared around the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast. Bai Yu reacted instantly, rushing to Wang Zhan's side and warning in a low voice, "This thing is preparing to self-destruct! Get out of here, quickly!"
The Lion-body Demon-faced Beast sneered, "Want to leave? It's not as easy as you think! Since you've pushed
this far, you will all pay a terrible price!"
How could Wang Zhan not know what the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast was planning?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had seen through everything and was not at all worried about the beast's self-destruction.
"What are you still hesitating for? I'll go notify Zi Yuan right now to have everyone on the battlefield evacuate imdiately! Even if we let the beasts escape, we can't gamble with everyone's lives! If the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast self-destructs, none of us will escape unscathed!"
Bai Yu knew very well how powerful the impact of a Level 1 demonic beast's self-destruction would be. Even if they could withstand it, the ordinary warriors absolutely could not endure such a powerful shockwave. The final result would be total annihilation. And even if Wang Zhan and the others survived, they would be gravely injured. The cost would far outweigh any benefit!
Wang Zhan paid Bai Yu no heed. He once again raised his Deep Fire Blade and then swiftly charged towards the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast.
"Wang Zhan! Are you insane? How dare you go forward at a ti like this! Get back here, now!"
Bai Yu roared incessantly, but Wang Zhan completely ignored him. He raised his Deep Fire Blade and once again brought it down towards the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast, which, at that very mont, completed its self-destruction!
Wang Zhan only felt a heatwave wash over him, but there was no worry in his eyes. Instead, he calmly raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and swiftly slashed down at the spot where the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast had just been!
Bai Yu was about to speak again, but in the next second, the battlefield suddenly changed. The Deep Fire Blade in Wang Zhan's hand instantly transford into nurous Giant Dragons, which then coiled around the ripples of energy from the explosion!
As the Giant Dragons appeared, the energy ripples seed to be devoured by them. Wang Zhan stood not far away, his eyes slightly narrowed, apparently savoring his victory.
During this period, Wang Zhan had already stabilized his cultivation in the Martial King Realm, and his own strength had greatly improved. The current him was far beyond what he had been before. Therefore, in his eyes, the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast was simply not worth ntioning; it didn't even possess the strength to fight him.
That was why he had absolute confidence that even if the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast self-destructed, it would still be no match for him!
Moreover, to Wang Zhan's delight, as the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast was eliminated, a notification sound ca from the System. He was then astonished to discover that he had actually advanced to the Martial King interdiate stage!
He quickly opened the System Panel and began to check it. Instantly, streams of information flooded his mind!

He hadn't expected that even though he had already entered the Martial King Realm, defeating a Level 1 demonic beast like the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast could still enhance his combat strength. This was indeed no loss.
Wang Zhan was now sowhat shocked, even eager to encounter the Xuanlong Beast as soon as possible. He wondered if defeating the Xuanlong Beast would allow his strength to improve even further!
After all, what Wang Zhan values most is his own strength. Only by continuously increasing it can he protect the people around him.
Otherwise, he would always be in a state of being protected. What difference would there be then between him and a failure?
Bai Yu was also looking at Wang Zhan in the distance in surprise. In a few steps, Bai Yu reached Wang Zhan's side and then said, "I didn't expect that in such a short ti, you've actually reached the Martial King interdiate stage?"
Wang Zhan just shrugged and smiled faintly. "Maybe it's because I was relatively lucky."
"Lucky?"
Bai Yu imdiately shook his head. He certainly knew Wang Zhan was just being modest. After all, in a short period, he had seen Wang Zhan advance several levels. Initially, Wang Zhan had only been a Grandmaster.
Indeed, according to Xiang Tian, when he first encountered Wang Zhan, Wang Zhan was rely a martial arts Grandmaster. Yet, in such a short ti, he had already entered the Martial King Realm. Bai Yu rembered Wang Zhan had once said he had only just arrived on the Star War Battlefield.
In less than a month, he had beco a Grandmaster, and now he was just one step away from reaching the peak of the Martial King Realm. How could this not be astonishing?
Wang Zhan, however, ignored Bai Yu's gaze and didn't intend to explain further. After all, he had the System; naturally, his level rose quickly. Of course, if he were to explain it to others, perhaps no one would believe such a thing.
"Alright, now that we've dealt with the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast, let's not waste any more ti. Hurry and help the warriors below stabilize the battlefield. This ti, we absolutely cannot let any beasts escape. Only then can we catch the Xuanlong Beast off guard. This is the perfect opportunity to deal with the Xuanlong Beast; we absolutely cannot afford to fail!"
As he finished speaking, Wang Zhan had already taken up his Deep Fire Blade and was swiftly charging downwards. At this mont, Xiang Tian and the others also noticed Wang Zhan and then realized that the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast had already been dealt with by him.
For a mont, everyone cheered. After all, the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast was a Level 1 demonic beast. Although they believed in Wang Zhan's and Bai Yu's combat strength, no one had expected that the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast could be defeated in such a short ti. This was sothing considered absolutely impossible!
Yet Wang Zhan, right before their eyes, had accomplished such an utterly impossible feat. This was enough to demonstrate Wang Zhan's strength.
With Wang Zhan and Bai Yu joining the battlefield, the situation was quickly swayed by the two of them. The beasts on the battlefield retreated repeatedly. Since the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast had been eliminated, the morale of the other beasts also suffered a certain blow.
In an instant, all the beasts were utterly routed by Wang Zhan and the others. Zi Yuan quickly walked up to Wang Zhan and said, "I truly didn't expect that I had underestimated your strength. For you to defeat the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast in such a short ti is genuinely admirable."
"But what I'm most curious about is, how exactly did you manage to prevent the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast from even self-destructing?"
Hearing this, not only was Xiang Tian full of doubt, but even Bai Yu also drew closer to Wang Zhan. Clearly, they all needed an explanation.
Wang Zhan just smiled faintly and then said, "Maybe it was because I scared it silly?"
Everyone shook their heads helplessly. Since Wang Zhan didn't want to say, they couldn't very well press him further.
"What should we do next?"
