Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"You can leave now," Logan said to Lilian.

She nodded and left.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" said Zachary as he calmly looked at Logan. They previously made a deal that Zachary must finish the translation in three months, but four months had already passed.

"Are you done translating the text on the stone tablet?" Logan asked immediately.

"Yes, it's all done." Zachary nodded.

"Great, now hand me the Five-God Stone Tablet and the translated text," Logan told him.

"I can give it to you, but how can I be sure that you won't kill me the moment I do?" asked Zachary. Of course he wouldn't easily hand over the Five-God Stone Tablet.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have already done it. Why would I wait until this moment?" Logan answered with confidence.

"Because you needed me translate the contents of the Five-God Stone Tablet first," replied Zachary.

"A few months ago, you subdued the Hundred-Treasure Beast and enraged the Shura College. If I didn't help you, you would have been in huge trouble," Logan said coldly.

"It was you who sent me to the Dark Prison!" Hearing this, Zachary realized that Logan was the reason why the dean of the Shura College sent him to the Dark Prison.

"I did it to protect you. They would have given you a hard time if I didn't do it. They would absolutely do everything they could to force you in giving them the Hundred-Treasure Beast. I know them too well!" exclaimed Logan.

"Thank you for that," Zachary answered.

"You don't need to thank me. All I need from you is the Five-God Stone Tablet and the translated text."

"I can give you the translated text, but I would have to keep the Five-God Stone Tablet for myself."

"Why is that?" Logan asked in a serious tone.

"It is the only way I can make sure that you won't kill me. Apart from that, I know that this is only the half of the stone tablet. If you don't have the other half, there are parts of the text that we won't be able to translate." Zachary made up an excuse at once. The truth was he already translated all the contents of the Five-God Stone Tablet that he had.

"The other half?" Logan was obviously surprised.

d Scott joined the contest. Since they had only been studying in the Shura College for less than six months, no one really believed they could win.

Therefore, their focus of the weapon refining contest was on the Shura College's disciples.

Among all the disciples, the most promising was Cole who just finished his cultivation in seclusion. He was said to be the most talented disciple in weapon refining ever since the establishment of the Shura College. If nothing went wrong, he would definitely be the winner of the competition.

Ranked second and third were Truman and Anthony respectively. There were also many other excellent disciples from the Shura College, including Polly.

The weapon refining contest was divided into three parts. The first part would be a ten-day elimination series. Disciples would be grouped randomly and would be sent to their designated areas for the competition on weapon refining.

After being sent to their areas, the disciples must collect weapon refining materials in the area as fast as they could. They would then refine weapons at the Heaven Level or higher. The disciple who spent the longest time refining would be eliminated.

But that would only be the beginning because other disciples from the same group who were not eliminated would continue to compete and be eliminated one by one until only three of them remained. These three disciples would then qualify to enter the second round.
