Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

On the way, Tracy didn't talk or ask Zachary any question even if she might have had any. She only shot a glance at him every now and then, with a sense of curiosity and hesitation. In all honesty, she had many questions that were already running around in her mind. For example, why could Zachary, a disciple at the primary stage of King Level, display the strength at the peak stage of King Level? How did he manage to subdue the Hundred-Treasure Beast? In the normal sense, it was impossible for him to do so with his own singular strength. Besides, Tracy also wondered how he could control two treasure beasts at the same time and activate the Illusory Dragon Spine. All in all, she was just as confused as everybody else who had been present to witness such a scene unravel before them.

Previously, she had only assumed that Zachary was a little special sprinkled with luck, with unique ways of doing things and having such outstanding talents. But when she saw with her own eyes that he was able to subdue the Hundred-Treasure Beast calmly in such a dangerous situation, her opinion of him had changed. In her current opinion, Zachary was not just special. Instead, he was destined to become a powerful and influential man one day.

Although Tracy could not imagine how strong he would be in the far future, she was certain that the rein of the Hundred-Treasure Beast this time would be a qualitative leap in his desired path. That was because for any weapon refiner, to have a Hundred-Treasure Beast was as if it were a tiger to have a pair of wings—something that would be very helpful in the long run. In this way, Zachary's talent as a weapon refiner would be pulled into a complete play in its full potential.

It was exactly because of this that Tracy would not ask him any question despite wanting so badly to do so. She knew that there was no reason to ask him. Now, the most important thing was to persuade the boy to join their Shura College. Now that he had successfully subdued the Hundred-Treasure Beast, the senior masters of the college would pay close attention to him soon. Tracy couldn't guess what instructions the senior masters of the college would entrust to her, but at the very least, the college would definitely try every means available to bring Zachary, who now possessed the Hundred-Treasure Beast, into their own college. They wouldn't agree to send him back to the Celestial College without putting up a fight.

Therefore, the situation had taken a change and become quite subtle.

On the other hand, Zachary was exhausted from overusing his strength earlier. Thus he

it's not too abnormal like the last one," Zachary said, waving his hand dismissively.

"You've received a new main quest—Double Champions. You need to become both number one King Level weapon refiner and number one King Level disciple in the Shura College."

"It's an abnormal main quest again, as I expected." After hearing the main quest, Zachary could not help but shake his head, as if he was used to such a thing. It would not be easy to become number one King Level weapon refiner and number one King Level disciple in the Shura College at the same time. Even if he managed to do that, the disciples of the Shura College would mostly likely go mad out of jealousy.

"Is there a time limit for this quest?" Zachary asked.

"No, but the next contest of disciples of King Level will take place in about four months."

"Excuse me? So, you're saying that I have to become both number one King Level weapon refiner and number one King Level disciple in the Shura College in only four months? That is going to be such a difficult task!" Hearing this, Zachary felt quite agonized by the system.

"What if I can't make it?" He asked one final question.

"Then you will have to wait for one more year."

"One entire year? How could I even dream to stay at the Shura College for such a long time?!" Zachary was speechless. "So what's the reward?"

"The reward for this main quest is the formula of a certain treasure. And the treasure is the key to one of the Five-God Tombs," Mimi replied.

"Are you serious?" Hearing this, Zachary was immediately interested. The Five-God Tombs was one of his ultimate goals. If what Mimi said were to be true, then it would save him a lot of trouble if he could fulfill the main quest.
