But then again, this very fact served as proof that this was the Star War Battlefield.
Everyone knows that there are no real friends on the Star War Battlefield. Everyone else is but an enemy.
If you want to survive, you naturally cannot trust anyone around you. Only by doing so could one stay longer on the Star War Battlefield.
「As ti passed minute by minute, Hu Xianfeng also ca out of the room.」
Wang Zhan approached him, and after circling him, he stroked his chin, saying slowly, "It seems you've undergone so changes?"
Hu Xianfeng was taken aback. Although he did not speak, he already felt quite a stir in his heart.
He had never expected Wang Zhan's perception to be so keen, as he indeed had undergone so changes.
During his ti in the room, he had rediscovered a weapon that suited him well.
Although he had hidden the weapon after leaving the room, it could still enhance his power to so extent, causing the intimidation he exuded to gradually intensify. But he never imagined that Wang Zhan could perceive these just by looking at him. It seed Wang Zhan truly possessed so extraordinary abilities.
"What in the world have you been up to, Old Man?" Wang Zhan moved closer to Hu Xianfeng, asking with a laugh. "You haven't been sneaking elixirs again, have you?"
Nearby, Han Junxiong watched in shock. To him, it seed Wang Zhan had just arrived near Kui City and hadn't even entered the city yet. He had no idea that Wang Zhan and Hu Xianfeng had such a good relationship.
Everyone knew Hu Xianfeng had an eccentric personality. Even if soone died in front of him, he might not take action. But what special ans did Wang Zhan have to win Hu Xianfeng's favor?
"Let
tell you, brat, get rid of that thought right now!" Hu Xianfeng hurriedly moved aside, guarding himself as if fending off a thief. "Even if I took an elixir, you wouldn't get any of it!"
Wang Zhan scratched his head in embarrassnt and sighed. "I just wanted to help you improve your abilities to so extent. After all, if I learn Alchemy, I could help you refine many things, right?"
"Moreover, we're in the sa boat now. I've told you this before, why can't you understand? Has old age addled your brain?"
Hearing this, Han Junxiong took a few more steps back in shock. How could Wang Zhan dare talk to Hu Xianfeng like this?
"Who told you, brat, that I was going to be in the sa boat as you?" Hu Xianfeng retorted. "Even if Qiu Lingdu and the others target you, if I don't engage with Qiu Lingdu, he will definitely chase after you relentlessly. So why should I care about you?"
"But I've already decided to take action against Qiu Lingdu, and yet I don't want to help you. So I've figured out a perfect solution: let Qiu Lingdu deal with you first, and then I'll take on Qiu Lingdu."
Wang Zhan was so angry he gritted his teeth.
He imdiately brandished his Deep Fire Blade, glanced at Hu Xianfeng, and then grinned. "Since we're not allies, there's no need to keep working together. I think this house is an eyesore anyway. Why don't I help you burn it down?"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan had already raised his Deep Fire Blade. In an instant, a series of Fire Dragons surged upwards, poised to attack.
With just one blow, the house in front of him would be reduced to ashes.
Hu Xianfeng's eyes widened. He imdiately stepped in front of Wang Zhan, pointed at him, and said viciously, "If you brat really dare to burn down my house, forget Qiu Lingdu even trying to kill you; I'll deal with you first!"
"I never should have saved you from that Cat Demon Beast. It would have been better if I'd let that creature finish you off!"
Wang Zhan turned his face to one side, chuckling. "Look at you. You've lived a long life and still don't know there's no dicine for regret in this world? Besides, since it has already happened, what can you do even if you have regrets?"
"Alright, alright. I don't want to haggle with you anymore."
Getting old certainly cos with a lot of baggage. Wang Zhan shrugged helplessly, then walked away.
Outside, it remained silent. Qiu Lingdu probably wouldn't show up so soon. They couldn't just stay here waiting for Qiu Lingdu, especially when he was after their lives. Were they supposed to just wash their necks and wait for his attack?
For Wang Zhan, the current priority was to rapidly improve his own strength. Only then would he be qualified to search for Xiang Tian and his companion.
However, improving his strength was not an easy task.
What he needed to do most right now was to figure out things about the System.
He felt that the System had changed recently, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.
For a while, Wang Zhan was sowhat confused.
He opened the control panel of the System and began to examine it carefully.
However, the data displayed on the control panel was largely the sa as before.
What puzzled him, however, was that the 'Limit' column always remained at zero.
Wang Zhan frowned slightly and began to study it again. He wasn't sure what this 'Limit' truly was.
During this ti, thanks to the System's advantages, Wang Zhan's strength had been continuously surging. Although his attack and defense capabilities had improved to a certain extent, this 'Limit' hadn't changed at all.
Moreover, his ntal energy seed to have no effect whatsoever.
For a mont, Wang Zhan sighed helplessly.
Although the System hadn't been fully developed yet, it was already good enough for him. After all, without the System, how could he possibly have reached this point?
Han Junxiong, who was beside him, suddenly patted his shoulder. "Instead of sitting here in a daze, why not chat with ?"
Wang Zhan looked at him, surprised, then retorted unhappily, "Who told you I'm just sitting here in a daze?"
"If you're not dazed, then what are you doing?" Han Junxiong asked, crossing his arms and shaking his head.
"Alright, even if you're busy, don't you want to chat with ? I'm quite familiar with Kui City, you know. Besides, since you suddenly appeared here, you must be here for sothing, right? Having a guide would definitely be beneficial for you."
"So, if I were you, I'd tell
everything. Who knows, maybe I can help?"
Wang Zhan glanced at him and scoffed contemptuously. "If you really want to help , it's simple: get that old man to teach
Alchemy."
"I'm extrely interested in Alchemy."
Hearing this, Han Junxiong let out a bitter smile. "Do you know how formidable Hu Lao is?"
"Over the years, countless people have wanted to beco Hu Lao's disciple, but he simply ignores them all."
"Forget about him teaching techniques; even getting a pointer from him is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. After all, Hu Lao has already reached the Tribal Patriarch realm; he's an existence we can only look up to."
While speaking, a look of profound respect appeared on Han Junxiong's face.
Even the City Lord of Kui City hadn't reached the Tribal Patriarch realm.
This clearly showed just how formidable Hu Xianfeng was.
Wang Zhan, however, nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, his eyes devoid of any respect. "That old codger must be ancient. By the ti I'm his age, I'll have long since been able to thrash him."
Upon hearing this, Han Junxiong looked at Wang Zhan curiously. He stared at Wang Zhan for a while but found it impossible to determine his cultivation level.
He could, of course, tell that Wang Zhan was much stronger than them. After all, in their previous encounter, all of them combined were no match for Wang Zhan; so couldn't even withstand a single strike from him.
This was sothing Han Junxiong had personally experienced.
But even so, he was still unclear about Wang Zhan's true strength.
Thinking of this, Han Junxiong moved closer to Wang Zhan, bumped his shoulder, and asked curiously, "So, tell , just how strong have you actually beco?"
"Just a tad weaker than that old man," Wang Zhan responded confidently.
Between him and Hu Xianfeng, there was only a slight level barrier. So, breaking through this barrier wouldn't be too difficult.
After all, Wang Zhan had already reached the peak of human cultivation.
However, this was also what confused Wang Zhan. Despite such a long ti, he hadn't made any further breakthroughs. Even after defeating a level 9 demonic beast last ti, the System showed no changes.
Wang Zhan had even begun to worry. Could it be that because his cultivation had reached a certain threshold, the System had stopped accumulating experience for him?
But this had never happened before.
After deep contemplation, Wang Zhan arrived at a possible answer.
Perhaps it was because the gap between the peak of human cultivation and the Tribal Patriarch realm was too vast. Thus, to improve his strength, he naturally needed to defeat many more level 9 demonic beasts.
But the road ahead was long and arduous!
A single level 9 demonic beast was already enough to leave him exhausted; what more if he had to deal with several at once?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhan sighed helplessly again, feeling like a deflated ball.
Han Junxiong spoke up again, "Fine, if you're not going to tell
your secrets, I won't press you. Anyway, we're friends now. If we end up fighting enemies together, we'll be covering each other's backs. As long as you don't hold back then, that's all that matters."
