Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Of course, the four King Level disciples hadn't expected Joan to fight against disciples from her own college for someone from the Celestial College. This made them wonder what sort of relationship they had that would make her care so much about Zachary.

Zachary broke their stalemate as he walked up to Joan and said with a faint smile, "I appreciate your kindness, Joan. But since the weapon refining room has been left for you, I don't want to take advantage of this. You can go in yourself!"

"But I'm afraid that someone with your strength wouldn't be able to get a chance to use the weapon refining room," Joan said matter-of-factly.

"I can take care of myself. Don't worry about me, Joan," Zachary said seriously.

Seeing that Zachary had made up his mind, Joan said nothing more. She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the four King Level disciples, and went straight to the weapon refining room.

"You were smart to do that, boy! But don't think that we'll have mercy on you simply because you have Joan's support. You will be the first to be wiped out. " All the four disciples glared at Zachary, blaming him for being the reason they'd offended Joan.

Hearing this, Zachary smiled indifferently, then walked back to Queenie's side.

"The seductress is so kind to you!" Queenie sounded a bit jealous.

"We are her allies, aren't we? She's supposed to care about us," replied Zachary with a shrug.

"I'm not her ally. Besides, she didn't let me in. You're the only one she cares about! What's your relationship with her, really?" Queenie couldn't help but ask. She felt like there was something going on between Joan and Zachary.

"I'm not exactly sure where we both stand. Anyway, we are related." Zachary grinned.

"Humph! All men are bad." After giving Zachary a disdainful look, Queenie turned her head and stopped talking to him.

With nothing to do, Zachary found a flat rock, laid on it and dozed off.

Seeing that Zachary had given up made the four King Level disciples feel relieved.

A few mome

he'd spent in the Dark Prison. So it's obvious there's no hope for him at all," Katrina said meaningfully.

Marvin smiled sheepishly.

Of course, even Katrina thought Zachary's success was hopeless, and more so the rest of the people present from Shura College. They certainly all thought that there was no hope for him to win.

Those from Zachary's group, the three masters and the seven disciples including Queenie, Joan were also standing outside the two weapon refining rooms, waiting for the final result.

"The warrior who'd entered the weapon refining room earlier should be almost done with his casting. It seems that the winner has been decided," Parker said.

The other two masters nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, as soon as he was done saying these words, a figure came out from one of the weapon refining rooms.

Everyone present was in complete shock, as the one to walk out first wasn't the disciple who'd entered before Zachary. In fact, it was Zachary himself!

"He's already done with his casting?" Joan muttered with a perplexed expression on her face.

Of course, she wasn't the only one taken aback by this turn of events. Everyone present, including the three masters, wore similar expressions on their faces. They couldn't fathom how Zachary could finish casting in such a short period of time. It was unbelievable!
