Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 584 - 582: The Ninth War God’s Position_1

Soon, a robust young man emerged from the crowd, approximately the same age as Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan guessed his identity with a single glance. This must be Wen Tian. His strength is indeed formidable; among his peers, he's certainly top-tier.

Smiling, Wang Zhan approached Chu Yunxiao and asked, "Are we really going to spar?"

"Of course. The position of the Ninth War God is critical. We can't afford any mistakes."

Chu Yunxiao responded with a grin. Actually, this sparring match was just a way for him to gauge Wang Zhan's true capabilities.

Wang Zhan just shrugged and then approached Wen Tian.

After staring at Wang Zhan for a good while, Wen Tian furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you a Grandmaster?" A touch of disdain tinged his voice.

Everyone in the camp was aware of Wen Tian's imminent breakthrough to the Grandmaster rank. Currently, no one within the Grandmaster realm was his match.

Wang Zhan simply grinned and shrugged. "What's wrong with being a Grandmaster?"

"Hasn't everyone progressed step by step from being a Grandmaster?"

Observing this interaction, Chu Yunxiao addressed Wen Tian, "Enough with the nonsense."

Before Wen Tian could respond, he swiftly closed the distance between them and, raising his hand, charged towards Wang Zhan.

A smile tugged at the corner of Wang Zhan's mouth. "Well struck!"

The next second, Wang Zhan raised his Deep Fire Blade. Instantly, a gigantic Fire Light descended, and a Fire Dragon roared out, slamming onto Wen Tian in the blink of an eye.

A defensive light shield materialized around Wen Tian, but as the Fire Dragon crashed down, cracks began to appear on it.

The crowd gasped in shock. Before they could comment, the light shield shattered, and Wen Tian was flung backward.

How is this possible?! Wen Tian looked shocked. I knew Wang Zhan might have a trump card, but I never expected to be defeated so quickly!

Meanwhile, Bai Yu and the others chuckled; this outcome was as they had expected. Wang Zhan's combat abilities were extraordinary; not even Bai Yu was his match, let alone Wen Tian.

On the other hand, Chu Yunxiao and Li Jiu exchanged shocked glances. We hadn't expected Wang Zhan to be so powerful, defeating Wen Tian with just one move!

Wen Tian got up clumsily, but he wasn't a sore loser. He bowed to Wang Zhan. "Thank you for your mercy!"

The spectators might not have comprehended the potency of Wang Zhan's move. However, Wen Tian, as the one on the receiving end, understood all too well. If Wang Zhan hadn't held back, not only would my defence have been shattered, I would have been severely injured!

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "We are all teammates. A spar is for fostering relationships, not a life-or-death battle. Victory or defeat isn't that important. Our enemies are the demonic beasts, not ourselves."

These words caused a wave of shame among the crowd. They had all been waiting to see Wang Zhan in an embarrassing state. But when he emerged victorious, he exhibited neither arrogance nor pride, only humility. He even gave Wen Tian a chance to save face. This display of character had to be admired.

"Exactly! We're brothers. Winning or losing doesn't matter."

Xiang Tian stood up, slinging one arm around Wen Tian's shoulders and the other around Wang Zhan's.

Chu Yunxiao narrowed his eyes. I have no intention of letting Wang Zhan leave. After all, anyone who can defeat Wen Tian in one move might even outperform me. Among the Eight War Gods, few could do this. Only by making Wang Zhan the War God of the fifth war zone can I keep him close.

With this in mind, Chu Yunxiao stood up, walked over to Wang Zhan, and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, I now declare Wang Zhan as the Ninth War God. Are there any objections?"

The others in the crowd felt they had no standing to object and could only nod in agreement. They were impressed not only by Wang Zhan's character but also astounded by his prowess.

Li Jiu, who had remained silent, quickly stood up. He walked over to Wang Zhan with a grin. "Watching you two fight has made my hands itch. How about we have a friendly spar? Just a few moves to compare notes."

At this, the audience cheered. They had never seen a match between two War Gods before. Especially Li Jiu, who was renowned as the most reckless among the War Gods. His fighting style was truly jaw-dropping.

Looking at Li Jiu, Chu Yunxiao responded gruffly, "If you have nothing better to do, get back to your war zone and guard your own line. Who has time to spar with you here?"

Actually, Chu Yunxiao was also looking out for Wang Zhan. If they were to fight, Wang Zhan would be at a disadvantage. Li Jiu made his name long ago and possesses a wealth of combat experience. Although I don't know if Wang Zhan also has such extensive battle experience, I'm still concerned. If Wang Zhan were to be defeated by Li Jiu, it would significantly impact his reputation. Now that Wang Zhan has just assumed the position of the Ninth War God, I can't let him be undermined, otherwise, it will be difficult to command respect.

Wang Zhan, however, smiled and said, "There will always be a chance."

"Good. I'll look forward to that day."

Li Jiu didn't press Wang Zhan further and headed towards the interior of the camp, apparently to pack his things and prepare for departure.

After all, the current battlefield was fraught with danger. The fifth war zone had suffered multiple breaches. If these breaches couldn't be fully secured, the fifth war zone would fall to the demonic beasts. The other war zones would also be impacted, greatly affecting the entire war situation.

Soon, Li Jiu embarked on his journey. Bai Yu had also prepared everything and was ready to report to his defence line at any moment.

Before leaving, Bai Yu found Wang Zhan. The two stood on the outskirts of the camp. Bai Yu patted Wang Zhan on the shoulder. "After this parting, I truly don't know when we'll be able to meet again."

The fifth war zone was vast. Although all the War Gods had gathered here, the defence lines were far apart. Once on a defence line, a War God would face endless battles. Only by eliminating the demonic beasts on the defence line could they manage to retreat. Furthermore, it was unclear how many demonic beasts were on the defence line, so their reunion seemed uncertain.

"Don't worry. As soon as I've handled matters here, I'll come find you."

Wang Zhan offered a slight smile. The defence line he was to guard was a newly torn breach. Compared to the defence lines guarded by the other eight War Gods, it was significantly different and thus relatively easier to manage.

Bai Yu patted Wang Zhan's shoulder again. "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Wang Zhan nodded. "It's a deal."

Soon, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu separated, and Li Jiu had already set off.

In the camp, Chu Yunxiao found Wang Zhan. "When are you planning to leave?"

"Anytime."

Wang Zhan shrugged. After all, I don't have much to do here and don't know many people. Staying in the camp feels rather dull.

Chu Yunxiao nodded. "Although the breach you need to guard is new, you mustn't underestimate it. There are many powerful demonic beasts within, so it's best you take your position as soon as possible."

"Then I'll set off now."

Wang Zhan wasn't particularly attached to the people in the camp. I aspire to raise my power level and need to challenge stronger demonic beasts. Guarding the defence line on the battlefield will naturally mean encountering powerful demonic beasts, which would be a great benefit to me.

At this thought, Wang Zhan smiled, evidently ready to depart.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiang Tian walked in from outside and said directly, "I'm going with you."

"Will your father let you come with me?"

Wang Zhan understood the peril of this journey. Even though I'll be nearby, we're heading towards the defence line, where anything can happen. If we encounter powerful demonic beasts, even I might not be able to get away, let alone protect Xiang Tian simultaneously.

Chu Yunxiao also glanced at Xiang Tian. "I know Xiang Zhanfei. You should stay here where it's safe; this camp is the most secure place. You're Xiang Zhanfei's treasure, you know."

"Uncle Chu, what are you saying? A true man should fight on all fronts! The war zone is in peril, and as a member, how can I just stand idly by?"

"I know what you're thinking, but if something happens to you, how will I answer to your father?"

Chu Yunxiao's stance was firm. After all, Xiang Tian's strength was limited, and the battlefield was unpredictable; no one knew what might happen.

At that very moment, Xiang Zhanfei walked in from outside.

Upon seeing him, Chu Yunxiao quickly grasped Xiang Zhanfei's arm. "Quickly, manage your son! He's insisting on going to the battlefield."

"This time, I agree with his decision."

Xiang Zhanfei's words stunned Chu Yunxiao.

Chu Yunxiao gazed at Xiang Zhanfei in surprise and swiftly questioned, "Are you joking? Do you know where he intends to go? That's the defence line! Do you know what's out there? You should know better than anyone else, right?"

Xiang Zhanfei just shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze falling upon Wang Zhan. Then, he said, "I'll have to trouble you to look after him from now on."

Wang Zhan gave a helpless smile. It seems I've acquired another burden. In my eyes, Xiang Tian has no real combat ability. Although we're the same rank, the difference in our combat power is like night and day.

"I don't need anyone's protection! Rest assured, I absolutely won't drag Wang Zhan down!"
