Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 640 - 638 Martial Saint _1

"Actually, he's already told you quite a bit about the Spirit Devouring Beast."

The old man glanced at Wang Zhan beside him and continued, "Although I was previously in a spirit body state and resided within the Heavenly Dragon Armor, I could still clearly hear your conversations.

"He indeed didn't hide anything from you. The strongest point of the Spirit Devouring Beast is its ability to quickly absorb the cultivation of other races.

"Of course, that's also its most terrifying aspect. It can rapidly increase its cultivation. Once it reaches a later stage, its cultivation will skyrocket as the energy it can contain within its body becomes more abundant.

"So, there aren't many effective ways to deal with it, but one thing to remember is that the best time to kill it is when it's at its weakest—which is right now."

Clearly, the old man had always been within the Heavenly Dragon Armor, so he was fully aware of everything that happened to Wang Zhan and everything he had experienced. Thus, he could naturally offer Wang Zhan sound advice.

Wang Zhan's expression quickly turned grim. He sat down, his eyes narrowing slightly. After all, with my current strength, confronting Luo Tianhong is no easy task. If I were to go to him now, wouldn't that be suicidal? The outcome seems almost certain.

The old man seemed to sense his thoughts. He walked up to Wang Zhan and said comfortingly, "I know what you're thinking, but you don't have to worry. After all, I'm here with you. Although the Spirit Devouring Beast can boost its cultivation, I can also bestow my entire cultivation upon you. When you encounter that Spirit Devouring Beast again, you might still have a fighting chance.

"But your body is inherently different from a demonic beast's. Therefore, the amount of cultivation the Spirit Devouring Beast can accommodate is far beyond what you can imagine. Although I can transfer all my cultivation to you, your physical limitations mean you can't absorb too much. The end result is that you might gain the strength to fight the Spirit Devouring Beast, but actually killing it won't be easy.

"Alright, I've told you everything. What you do next is your own decision. For now, prepare to accept my inheritance. After all, I'm just a remnant soul now and can't remain in this weakened state for too long."

As he spoke, the old man steadily approached Wang Zhan, evidently ready.

Wang Zhan nodded. He gave the old man beside him a grateful look, then slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, he felt a warm power enveloping him, an incredibly comfortable sensation. He knew the old man was performing the technique. Once this power dissipates, my cultivation will surely have increased to some extent.

Time passed, second by second. Wang Zhan lost track of how long it had been. When he finally opened his eyes, the old man was nowhere to be seen.

However, it was undeniable that his cultivation had indeed increased significantly.

Wang Zhan's eyes widened in surprise. He opened his control panel and quickly checked his stats.

In an instant, Wang Zhan was shocked.

"I've actually broken through to Martial Saint?"

"Skipped the Martial Emperor Stage?"

"What incredible fortune!"

Looking at the changes on the System Panel, Wang Zhan's expression gradually brightened. After all, he was now far stronger than before. Although Luo Tianhong was formidable, at this point, he indeed possessed the capability to fight him.

It seems the old man truly didn't deceive me.

Wang Zhan stood in place, glanced towards where the old man had been, then knelt and kowtowed deeply several times.

I have to admit, the old man provided me with immense help, even saving my life. The gratitude for saving my life is unforgettable. But now the old man has vanished, and I've lost the chance to do anything for him. Kowtowing is the only way I can express my gratitude now.

After settling these matters, Wang Zhan headed into the distance, for he had just discovered a light shining ahead.

Within a few steps, Wang Zhan reached the base of the light beam.

He looked up and realized this was merely an opening to the sky above a section of the ruins. However, it didn't look like a natural exit; rather, it seemed someone had used brute force to tear an opening here.

Realizing this, Wang Zhan immediately thought of Luo Tianhong. After all, Luo Tianhong has already left with the other two. It's likely they exited from here.

This, however, saved Wang Zhan a considerable amount of time. In the next instant, he transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the beam.

Soon, Wang Zhan landed back on the ground. Not far away lay the Seven-star Barrier, now unfortunately shattered.

Since everything within the ruins had been taken by them, the Seven-star Barrier no longer served a purpose. Moreover, with the ruins themselves now damaged, there was no need to pass through the barrier to come and go.

But now a greater problem confronted Wang Zhan: he didn't know where to rendezvous with Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, nor was he certain if Luo Tianhong would eliminate the pair.

According to the remnant soul, the Spirit Devouring Beast was ferocious and terrifying. Although Luo Tianhong had promised Wang Zhan, he still felt uneasy. If Luo Tianhong went back on his word, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue would have no chance of survival; the power gap between them and Luo Tianhong was simply too vast.

Fortunately, we've left the ruins. Although the Star War Battlefield is vast, I have no intention of abandoning them. After all, I brought them from the fifth war zone, and I absolutely cannot let anything happen to them.

With this in mind, Wang Zhan quickly moved in a specific direction, hoping that if fate allowed, they would meet again.

Of course, the most important thing now is to find Luo Tianhong as soon as possible. According to the old man, this is the best time to eliminate him. Once Luo Tianhong grows stronger, not only will I no longer be his match, but even our combined forces would likely pose no threat to him.

「Meanwhile, inside a cave.」

At that moment, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were huddled in a corner of the cave, while ferocious roars echoed incessantly from outside.

Luo Xue's face was deathly pale. He grabbed Xiang Tian's arm, his voice trembling, "What do we do? You haven't fully recovered, and we've run into a beast here! It looks incredibly tough. What are we going to do?"

Luo Xue was clearly panicking. They had experienced a period of relative peace recently. Since Xiang Tian needed to recuperate, they had found a secluded cave. But despite their caution, they never expected to be discovered by a beast. What was more terrifying was that this beast was clearly far stronger than either of them.

Furthermore, with no one else around, they could only rely on themselves to deal with the beast before them. But that was far from easy. Although Xiang Tian's injuries had somewhat improved, he was still vulnerable and needed protection. If he forcefully engaged the demonic beast, his wounds would likely tear open again, which would be detrimental to his recovery.

Xiang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. After glancing at the beast outside, he slowly rose, looked at Luo Xue beside him, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother Wang gave us our lives. So, even if we face difficulties, we can't both perish here; that would be letting Brother Wang down. I'll do my best to stall it, and you must find a chance to leave immediately.

"In my opinion, you should return to the fifth war zone. The Star War Battlefield is exceptionally dangerous. Besides, surpassing Luo Tianhong is no easy feat—that's true for both of us, not just you."

Xiang Tian shook his head helplessly, then gave a self-deprecating smile and continued, "You know how terrifyingly strong Luo Tianhong is. Even Brother Wang isn't his match, let alone the two of us. So, it's better not to throw our lives away needlessly."

Luo Xue's eyes gradually reddened, and he choked back sobs. He grabbed Xiang Tian's arm tightly. "No! If we go, we go together! We started as three, but now it's just you and me. How can you ask me to leave alone? I won't! I don't want to just barely survive!"

"But if both of us stay, we'll just be casualties."

Xiang Tian gritted his teeth. The beast outside was far beyond their ability to handle; this was the best solution under the circumstances. As long as one of them could escape, they wouldn't have failed Brother Wang's hopes for them.

Even now, I vividly remember Brother Wang's expression back then. Every time I recall it, a warmth flows through my heart. Back then, I would panic just encountering a beast, let alone having the strength to fight one. Even if my own power level was higher, I might not have been able to defeat it. As Brother Wang said, that was just theoretical skill, 'armchair strategizing.' Without undergoing true life-and-death trials, there's naturally a vast difference in actual combat capability.
