Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 538 - 536: Return to Chu State Military Academy

The Flaming Lion rose from the ground, leaping into the air, and coldly eyed Wang Zhan.

The elderly man smiled at the Flaming Lion and slowly said, "Who I am is not important, but I advise you to give up. It's not easy to reach this realm, today I'll spare you."

Wang Zhan felt the change within his body, and realized that facing a crisis earlier, he had actually felt a trace of fear.

The Flaming Lion was not one to compromise so easily. In its heart, it had already sentenced Wang Zhan to death. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the elderly man, Wang Zhan would have been reduced to a pile of bones.

"I, the King, am not easily frightened. If you dare ruin my plans, you won't die a good death!"

The Flaming Lion was startled at the time and then reacted, coldly eyeing the increasingly numerous Human Race warriors before it.

Among all these people, only the elderly man made the Flaming Lion feel a sense of fear, but making it bow its head was no easy task.

The elderly man chuckled.

"Return to your Star War Battlefield, and do not tear up the agreement you signed yourself."

The Flaming Lion was shocked. Who was this elderly man, and how did he know about the agreement?

It looked hatefully at Wang Zhan, who had now sat up, unwillingly launching an attack towards him.

Wang Zhan did not dodge, not even showing a hint of fear.

The elderly man stood in front of Wang Zhan and blocked the attack.

"This is the final warning!"

The elderly man was somewhat angry; the Flaming Lion repeatedly challenged his bottom line.

"Lion King's Fury!"

The Flaming Lion could not swallow its anger, unwilling to return to the Star War Battlefield in such a manner, where it would be subjected to endless ridicule.

"Good, very good!"

The elderly man laughed several times, launched the Killing Fist, and the Flaming Lion, who forcefully raised its realm, was no match.

The Flaming Lion, having forcefully raised its realm, was no match for the elderly man, unable to withstand even a single move and was blasted away.

The Flaming Lion looked somewhat embarrassedly at the middle-aged man, incredulously asking, "A peak Human Peak warrior? Why hide in this small Chu State City!"

These words shocked everyone present; no one had expected this elderly man to be a peak Human Race warrior.

Below, most students of the Academy were gazing passionately at the elderly man.

This was a reverence for the strong, an awe of the strong, especially in this martial arts-inclined Federation.

Wang Zhan looked at the elderly man who had saved him twice, his heart filled with shock.

The elderly man glanced at the Flaming Lion before slowly speaking, "I have things I wish to protect, what difference does it make where I am? The Star War Battlefield belongs to you. I won't harm you today, leave here quickly!"

The Flaming Lion could feel several times that the elderly man merely forced him to retreat, and was momentarily at a loss.

Staying meant completely angering this Old Man; not staying left the heart unsatisfied and full of hatred. It stared at Wang Zhan with fierce intent, truly wanting to tear him apart.

After an intense struggle, the Flaming Lion unwillingly let out several roars.

"Boy, I've remembered your scent. Prepare to be hunted to death by me!"

The Flaming Lion glared fiercely at Wang Zhan, then turned and stepped into the void, disappearing.

The Flaming Lion's departure allowed many tense hearts to finally release a sigh of relief.

Wang Zhan felt rather gloomy; having provoked a royal-level demonic beast without reason now gave him a headache.

The elderly man approached Zhang Sheng, Elder Qin, and the Federation member, feeding each a pill.

Soon, the three awoke and immediately expressed gratitude to the elderly man.

The three looked at the elderly man, faces full of astonishment, wanting to speak but were stopped by the elderly man's gaze.

The elderly man looked at Wang Zhan, smiled and said, "Impressive, to have such strength at a young age, promising indeed, the Federation truly has promising successors."

Wang Zhan maintained a solemn demeanor, full of respect.

"Sir jokes, thank you for saving my life twice. No matter what request the elder may have of the junior, I will oblige."

The elderly man glanced at Wang Zhan.

"Truly? What if I ask you to die?"

"Death is better met on the battlefield than to die without meaning, I won't partake in such meaningless affairs."

Wang Zhan spoke with self-assuredness, making the elder view him with newfound respect.

"Follow me!"

The elderly man saw Wang Zhan repeatedly wanting to speak, and taking the three powerful Martial Saints with him, headed toward the Chu State Military Academy.

Amid Zhang Sheng's surprise, they followed the elderly man's footsteps into the back mountain of the Chu State Military Academy, arriving at a hidden cave mansion.

The items within the cave mansion indicated that the elderly man had lived here for many years.

The Old Man sat down and poured each person a cup of tea, before slowly asking.

"Young man, just ask whatever you want to ask!"

Wang Zhan was examining the cave mansion, then he snapped back to reality.

"With such power, why do you choose to live in seclusion in the mountain forest?"

The elderly man reminisced for a moment.

"I'm just barely surviving here, and I chose this place to see if I could watch over the Academy—it's a way to address my inner feelings!"

The elderly man used to be someone who fought life-and-death battles on the Star War Battlefield, known far and wide for his ferocity. During one battle, he was severely injured and nearly died. He survived, but the price was that he could no longer fight with all his strength.

The elderly man, rather than wasting away above, returned to the Chu State Military Academy, where he once altered the course of his life, so he has a special affection for the Academy.

The elderly man spoke slowly again, "I know you want to ask why I didn't keep that Flaming Lion."

Wang Zhan scratched his head awkwardly.

"Firstly, that Flaming Lion is the Beast God's brother, and secondly, due to my physical condition, if I forcibly attacked, I might still get countered by the Flaming Lion!"

"Thirdly, the consequences of killing the Flaming Lion are too great. The Human Race is not having an easy time on the Star War Battlefield. If we provoke the Beast Clan into full-scale war, it would be precarious."

After saying this, the elderly man looked towards Elder Qin and the Federation senator.

The two, seeing the elderly man look at them, all promptly spoke in agreement.

The elderly man then looked at Zhang Sheng.

"Speak whatever you have in mind; I'm also keeping an eye on the Academy's matters."

Zhang Sheng carefully spoke to the elderly man, "I'd like to invite you to set up a class at the Academy to teach the future generations more skills."

Admittedly, Zhang Sheng's plan was well-thought-out, and indeed, the situation is such—with chaos looming, the more the students learn, the better their chances of survival.

A peak human expert teaching at the Chu State Military Academy—a privilege even the Federation's four major academies don't have.

As an Academy leader, Zhang Sheng could already envision the rise of the Chu State Military Academy.

The elderly man glanced thoughtfully at Zhang Sheng. How could he not understand Zhang Sheng's plan? He immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had finished asking what they wanted to ask, the elderly man turned to the Federation senator and slowly asked, "The wormhole on the Star War Battlefield is barely sealed and may not hold for even a year."

The Federation senator's face was somewhat unpleasant as he spoke.

"If there is still full-scale war with the Beast Clan at this moment, it will only accelerate the pace of war, leaving us even less assured."

Elder Qin was also troubled, evidently not understanding much about the situation.

Wang Zhan felt disdainful; his strength had already advanced rapidly.

"Isn't it just breaking through to Stellar-level beasts? It won't be long before I can slay one with a slash."

Everyone looked at Wang Zhan in bewilderment. The highest level of beasts was Stellar-level, and such breakthroughs came from other planets. This kind of information had never spread.

Elder Qin's face turned unsightly as he urgently signaled to Wang Zhan with his gaze.

Wang Zhan seemed oblivious, pointing at Elder Qin and said slowly.

"A few days ago, I even killed a Stellar-level demonic beast. Today, the beast's strength was slightly higher; surely it's a breakthrough Stellar-level demonic beast. Within two months, I have the strength to slay today's Stellar-level beast alone."

Elder Qin had been coughing all the while Wang Zhan spoke, but it didn't achieve any effect.

On the spot, Elder Qin had intended to boast to Wang Zhan, aiming to demonstrate the power of the Qin Family. Little did he expect Wang Zhan to get involved in this matter so soon.

The elderly man looked at Wang Zhan slowly and asked.

"Do you misunderstand something about the classification of beasts?"

Wang Zhan asked blankly, "How do you mean?"

The elderly man explained:

"The royal-level beasts correspond to the Human Race's Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. After royal-level beasts come demonic beasts, soldier-level demonic beasts, General-level beasts, leader-level demonic beasts, King-level demonic beasts, royal-level beasts, and then Stellar-level demonic beasts."

"Today's Flaming Lion's actual strength is that of royal-level beasts—just confined so long that its realm has dropped significantly!"

After hearing the elderly man's explanation and comparing the strengths of both, Wang Zhan couldn't help but understand. He immediately shouted at Elder Qin, "You old fool, how dare you deceive me! When we leave, watch me pluck out your beard!"

Elder Qin, alarmed, quickly stroked his beard and then looked at Wang Zhan, speaking slowly, "Cough! I was only seeing you work so hard, didn't want you getting bald early, which would be a headache for my family, Qin Ying!"

The more Wang Zhan thought about it, the angrier he got, not wanting to see Elder Qin for another moment, and immediately bid farewell to the elderly man.

As he left, Wang Zhan glared fiercely at Elder Qin.

Wang Zhan headed directly toward the Chu State Military Academy, where many students were already present, all looking at him with eyes full of admiration, with many bold girls asking for his contact information.

After much effort, Wang Zhan finally arrived at a separate courtyard in the Academy.

There, Wang Zhan saw Liu Zhenfeng and Lv Zhenglong.

Liu Zhenfeng and Lv Zhenglong had been waiting there early for Wang Zhan's arrival. Upon meeting again, their sense of guilt grew deeper.
