I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1705 - 144: Seize the Opportunity

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, but it seems that the person who said this forgot to tell the world.

Exactly what should one prepare for, and even more crucially—when will the opportunity arrive.

The world has never lacked talent, only those who end their lives with the regret of never having tapped into their potential. The greatest tragedy of the dormant dragon is indeed lying dormant until it blinds itself in the deep abyss, mistakenly thinking it is but a loach.

Pavilion Master Wang Fuling had a strategy for conquering the Blood God World in his heart long ago. His proposal to Wang You was merely a preliminary move.

A few days later, after setting up the array formation, Wang Fuling summoned the healed Wang Chan.

"The Valley Master has sent a message saying you have digested the martial spirit seed of the Hook-Chen technique very well, and hopes you will stay in Zongheng Valley to continue researching the secret technique of body evasion armor; I have agreed," said Wang Fuling, barefoot and in a starry battle robe, his hands behind his back, indifferently to the respectful Yun Sun before him.

As a pillar of heaven within the Tianan Wang Family, the words of Wang Fuling are like imperial edicts to the Wang Clan disciples, not to mention the bond of kinship.

Even though Wang Chan had already declined the invitation from Zongheng Valley, the current situation left him with no room to refuse.

Fortunately, the worst scenario he envisioned did not occur, which was a relief for him. After a brief silence to adjust his emotions, he responded calmly, "I defer to Ancestor’s decision."

Wang Fuling was very pleased with his grandson’s attitude. Compared to many disciples with unfounded arrogance, Wang Chan had matured a lot after his injury.

So, the Saint Lord who originally did not wish to explain further hinted with a smile, "The most suitable realm to study the Starry Sky Great Array is that of a grandmaster. If you can integrate the technique of body evasion armor with your body technique before that, it will be greatly beneficial to your future in martial arts."

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Wang Chan bowed respectfully, a smile bright on his face.

"You may dispense with the formalities," said Wang Fuling succinctly. "A few days ago I heard from your conversation with the Pavilion Master that you wish to plot against the Blood God Sovereign. Do you have any leads now?"

"Nothing can escape the Ancestor’s notice within the boundaries of this Starry Sky Great Array," Wang Chan said with a modest smile, raising his head. "There is indeed some direction, but there is one thing I need to confirm."

"What is it?"

"Whether this demon that occupies the Blood God World truly is the Blood God Sovereign from ancient times, the one who, at the mention of his name, terrorized and decimated Xiehe’s myriad clans."

"There is no mistake. The Pavilion Master has tested several times, and combined with the Blood Fiend’s method of enslaving with blood, we can confirm that this demon is indeed that ancient figure."

"If that is the case, Yun Sun has some speculations that may help the Divine Court break the situation," Wang You spoke confidently. "According to historical records, the sudden disappearance of the Blood God Sovereign was due to provoking the Dragon Clan, which nearly mobilized in its entirety, giving the Blood God Sovereign no escape neither in the heavens nor on earth.

The fierce and proud nature of the Dragon Clan would surely dictate a relentless pursuit to completely eradicate the Blood God Sovereign who dared to provoke them and turned their bloodline into Blood Slaves.

Indeed, the records also account that the Dragon King and the Blood God Sovereign fought from the extreme west to Longzhou for nine days and ten nights, shattering mountains and rivers, staining the heavens with blood.

In the end, the Blood God Sovereign was defeated by the True Dragon’s divine might, his saintly blood dried up, and his Saint Body shattered; then, millions of dragons rose up to incinerate the countless children of the Blood God.

However, what’s strange is this - how could a mere remnant soul escape from the hands of the Dragon Clan’s king and come back to stir up trouble once again?"

The so-called method of deduction is to infer based on existing information. As for how broadly and diversely one can extend this range, it all depends on personal accomplishment.

Without a doubt, Wang Chan’s performance in this discipline was outstanding. But for the Tianan Wang Family, such talents were probably the least of their shortages.

Therefore, even if Wang Chan’s analysis was meticulous to every detail, Wang Fuling still maintained her calm expression. Only after he finished speaking did she comment indifferently, "A force saved the Blood God Sovereign’s soul from the Dragon Clan’s king’s grasp. But at that time, Longzhou was rampant with great demons and wild beasts everywhere. The True Dragons had already exhausted their strength battling the Blood God Sovereign, and among the demons and monsters capable of saving their souls and fleeing, there were not one hundred then at least eighty.

But after that great battle in Longzhou, the Demon Race of Longzhou fell into a complete decline. Now it’s no longer possible to trace them down.

Furthermore, given the Blood God Sovereign’s life history, even the Demon Race considered him an outcast. Who would go save him?"

Never underestimate others. By saying so much, Wang Fuling simply wanted to tell Wang Chan that deducing possibilities is not a real skill; the difficulty lies in finding the thread named ’truth’ within the myriad of connections.

This is what the strategists of the Tianan Wang Family are currently doing. If Wang Chan wants to prove his abilities to the family with this, he is still far from enough just with what he has now.

Wang Chan smiled again. Indeed, if it were a competition of deduction on the same level, he did not have any advantage compared to those strategists in his family.

But from the beginning, this was not a fair contest. He had one piece of information that could be called a shortcut, more than anyone else present.

"Here’s a path that can be confirmed as a direction. Maybe it’s worth a try."

As he spoke, Wang Chan took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom and unfolded it. On it was the freshly drawn image of a lifelike Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

Although Wang Fuling was not very familiar with the history of demons, she still had some memories of this famous Demon King of Longzhou.

After all, even after the Human Race had essentially expelled the Demon Race, it took three major forces to devise a plan and two Saints to barely defeat this Demon King, a rarity among rarities.

Even as time passes by a thousand years, it will shine in the annals of history.

But it’s such an eye-catching existence—Wang Chan noticed it, how could the clever people of the Wang Family not see it?

"You think that the Nine-tailed Fox Demon saved the Blood God Sovereign’s soul, while the family’s strategists believe that this peace-loving and orderly Demon King is the least likely," Wang Fuling said indifferently. "If your deduction is wrong, this will become a point of attack for them. Are you still insisting?"

For this mighty one known as Wang Invincible, everything in the world is neither a must nor a must not, except for following the order in his heart, the most important thing is to bear the consequences of his decisions.

He wouldn’t comment on who was more correct, Wang Chan or those strategists, nor would he take sides. He was only reminding Wang Chan of the consequences if he were wrong.

"In any case, there’s nothing to lose. Just consider it an attempt," Wang Chan said casually as he folded the image of the Fox Demon back up, "The Nine-tailed Fox King was destroyed by Saint Han, his Saint Body obliterated and the remains obtained by the An Family, while the Demon beasts of the Fox King’s lineage were taken away by the eager Beast Taming Sect. If we want to confirm the speculation, we just need to find an item imbued with the aura of the Fox King or its descendants, that should be enough to test out the result."

Watching the absolute confidence shining on Yun Sun’s face, Wang Fuling seemed to see her younger self.

The next day, two letters from Wang Invincible of Tianan were dispatched from the Lin Chuan barrier, one to the Divine Court of Zhongzhou and the other to the Longzhou Beast Taming Sect.
