Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"What do you mean the elite training plan? Does the Celestial College have such a thing?" Zachary was a little curious about it. Plus, he, too, was surprised with the way Queenie and the others had improved their strength in a short period of time. It made him think that they cultivated in a different way to achieve such heights.
