Wang Zhan stared at her for a while before speaking again, "Actually, I don't want you by my side. It's not because you lack cultivation. Instead, the realm above is too terrifying. Therefore, I didn't even contemplate taking Xiang Tian and Luo Xue with . Yet, as you can see, they always want to be by my side. There's no getting rid of them, so what can I do?"
"However, you are different. There is still no news about your parents, so there may still be a glimr of hope for them. If you stay in Tianxiong City, you may have the chance to et them again. Isn't that right?"
At his side, Han Xue nodded firmly. She had grown to understand this over ti. After all, she could not even confirm where her parents were. But one thing she was certain of was—even if she were to et her parents again, what difference would it make?
After a family reunion, they would still need to continue living on the Star War Battlefield. Yet, it was a cannibalistic battlefield here. If one lacked cultivation, moving forward would be extrely difficult.
They couldn't forever hide behind others and let others protect them.
So for Han Xue, the priority was to improve her cultivation as quickly as possible. Only in this way could she protect the people around her and do many things.
Thinking of this, Han Xue continued, "Brother Wang, don't worry. I will definitely train hard alongside the others here, not waste any ti, and enhance my cultivation as soon as possible. By the ti you return, you will be impressed."
Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction and said, "I trust you."
In the blink of an eye, Han Xue had left the room and closed the door. Inside the room, Wang Zhan watched her leave and shook his head helplessly.
During this period, Wang Zhan had treated Han Xue like his sister. After all, Han Xue was still young, and the Star War Battlefield was so dangerous. Moreover, the city-guarding treasure of Tianxiong City had been taken away. If the city were to be encircled by beasts again, Tianxiong City would likely beco ruins, putting the entire population at risk. What would Han Xue do then?
But things had co to this point, and there wasn't much he could do. With this thought, Wang Zhan sighed helplessly.
Perhaps Luo Tianhong was right; he indeed shouldn't be too compassionate, otherwise it would slow him down.
Just like all this while, he had been taking Xiang Tian and Luo Xue along with him. The two couldn't offer him any help. Although it made life more interesting, it also held Wang Zhan back.
If it weren't for their presence, Wang Zhan by now would have been a completely different person, perhaps even with a much higher cultivation.
Yet, he really couldn't bring himself to let them just leave like this.
Eventually, Wang Zhan couldn't co up with a solution. He lay down on the bed and fell deeply asleep.
「When he woke up, it was already dark outside, and the air was filled with sounds of laughter and cheerful voices.」
Then he heard footsteps approaching and opened his eyes slowly to see Luo Xue bouncing toward him.
Luo Xue walked briskly to his side, took Wang Zhan's arm, and said, "People outside have been waiting for a long ti. You were sleeping when I ca in, so I didn't wake you up. Now that you're awake, shall we go and greet everyone?"
Wang Zhan smiled and nodded, then walked towards the door.
"By the way, where is Han Xue?" Wang Zhan asked with a smile.
Luo Xue, beside him, laughed, "She must be downstairs chatting with everyone."
"And for so reason, I feel that Han Xue has changed a lot; her personality seems to have changed a lot too."
"Oh, I rember seeing her co to your room this afternoon. Did you say sothing to her?"
In an instant, Luo Xue widened her eyes and quickly asked, "I see! The thing that could make her happy must be that you agreed to take her with us when we leave, right?"
Wang Zhan laughed and said, "You think Han Xue is like you two, wanting to stick to
all day? She wants to improve her own cultivation, and after becoming a Cultivator, she can be my trusted aide. Before that, she naturally won't stay by my side to cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue shook her head helplessly and whispered, "So you an, my staying by your side is causing you trouble?"
Wang Zhan nodded emphatically.
"You're not going to spare my pride at all?"
Luo Xue smiled awkwardly.
She was just giving Wang Zhan a way out, but she didn't expect Wang Zhan to actually agree. Isn't he worried this would hurt her self-esteem?
"Having you and Xiang Tian around only brings
endless trouble. Han Xue, in comparison, is actually much easier to deal with. But even so, what can you two do about it?"
"Anyway, I'm not planning to waste any more ti on you two. Once we reach the higher realm, I'll drop you sowhere to cultivate on your own. If you still don't make any progress, then don't bla
for ignoring you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue quickly said, "Brother Wang, you should see our efforts. It's just that our Talent is limited, and we can't be compared to you. So, how can we improve our cultivation so quickly?"
On this point, Luo Xue was definitely not lying, nor was she trying to shirk responsibility.
During the days they spent alongside Wang Zhan, Luo Xue and Xiang Tian's cultivation continuously improved. Within this period, they had far surpassed many people in the fifth war zone.
Even when encountering war gods from the fifth war zone, Xiang Tian had the power to fight. However, when he first left, he was nowhere near the level of these war gods.
Therefore, they naturally made great progress during this ti.
However, when compared with Wang Zhan, their progress seed extrely slow.
Of course, they didn't know why Wang Zhan was able to improve his cultivation so rapidly.
Wang Zhan just chuckled and shook his head. "You naturally don't need to compare yourselves with ."
Little did they know that Wang Zhan had the help of the System, so his rate of cultivation improvent was beyond their imagination.
Even with the System assisting him, it was ultimately Wang Zhan's own resource to use.
All external factors that could be leveraged were converted into his own strength, so naturally, he didn't need to dwell on the specifics too much.
After all, the end result was what mattered, not the process by which it was achieved.
"Brother Wang, can you tell
why your cultivation speed is so fast?"
Luo Xue grinned, hurried to Wang Zhan's side, and looked at him with a beaming smile, her eyes narrowed playfully.
"I also want to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible. Of course, if Brother Wang can share so of his experience, I think I could make significant progress in a short ti."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan sighed and chuckled, "I'm afraid I can't help with that."
"Why?"
Disappointnt swept over Luo Xue's face.
If she could receive Wang Zhan's true teachings, her cultivation would naturally improve greatly. But since Wang Zhan didn't want to share, what could she do?
Wang Zhan, beside her, chuckled and said, "Actually, I have a habit of risking my life to fight demonic beasts more ferocious than I am, and gain insights from each combat experience to improve my own cultivation."
"But you should know how dangerous it is, right?"
"Once I find myself in a truly desperate situation, it becos a fight for survival with very slim odds."
Luo Xue nodded.
She had indeed witnessed Wang Zhan's battles during this ti, and the sheer danger of those scenes was hard for her to fully comprehend.
The thought of repeatedly experiencing life-or-death situations was sothing even she found difficult to stomach.
So even if she was asked to do this, she wouldn't dare.
This was purely a daredevil's way of fighting.
"Brother Wang, isn't there a simpler way to rapidly improve my cultivation?" Luo Xue asked again.
"If such a thod really exists in this world, I would definitely tell everyone around
so they all beco stronger, especially the people inside Tianxiong City."
Wang Zhan knew very well that almost everyone in Tianxiong City had no cultivation, and even though so warriors were guarding the city wall, they couldn't play a major role.
Without Ju Tian'en constantly guarding Tianxiong City, it would have already been overrun by demonic beasts long ago.
"So, we have to improve our cultivation little by little, don't we?" Luo Xue sighed, then said helplessly, "In that case, isn't it going to take a long ti?"
"Of course, if you don't want to proceed this way, you don't have to forcibly improve your cultivation."
"Return to the fifth war zone, and there won't be any danger, right?"
Wang Zhan's words startled Luo Xue. She quickly grabbed Wang Zhan's arm, shaking it while pleading, "Brother Wang, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive
away. Don't worry, I will improve my cultivation step by step."
"But the prerequisite is, you mustn't despise ."
Wang Zhan laughed helplessly, "You're not my girlfriend, nor do you hold any special status with . Why would I despise you?"
Who knows how things might develop in the future? Luo Xue muttered to herself, a sweet smile playing on her lips.
Wang Zhan didn't hear her words. The next mont, he was already walking towards the outside.
