Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Seriously? Now I have to pay even more attention to him!" Jace and Pollard exchanged an evil smile.

Meanwhile, Polly had entered the competition arena. She suddenly felt her eyelids twitching and she couldn't help rubbing them.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Just then, a figure appeared beside Polly.

Polly turned around and found that Zachary had been standing next to her. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect us to be opponents so soon."

"Please show some mercy on me later," Zachary joked good-naturedly.

"Stop pretending to be scared. I'm afraid that your weapon refining level is higher than mine." Polly, of course, was not to be fooled by him easily. After the battle she had witnessed yesterday, she knew that the man in front of her was not how she had imagined. There were too many mysteries hidden in him that she could not see through.

"So do you still want to compete with me?" Zachary provoked Polly teasingly.

"Of course! I want to know how strong you are," Polly replied firmly. In fact, after seeing Zachary's performance yesterday, she was eager to fight with him. She was fiercely competitive and wanted to defeat him. Yesterday, her father also appreciated his performance and said that he was more talented than her and her brother. This really bothered her. It was easy to see that Zachary was an outstanding weapon refiner. Moreover, she also knew that he had mastered two kinds of energy fire, which made her want to combat with him to see if he was really more talented than her as her father said.

"All right, go ahead then," Zachary said with a nod.

They walked toward the center of the competition arena.

The eighteen disciples of the King Level were divided into two groups. They were grouped according to their strength to ensure that everybody had a fair chance in the competition. As a result, the strength of the two groups was basically the same—all the strongest and the weakest ones were in one group.

Among the nine members in Zachary's group, Truman was the most powerful one as he was a five-star wea

t go to waste," Marvin commented.

"Well, there is no doubt that the disciples of our Celestial College attach great importance to the contest. Harley, too, has used the rare materials in the contest," Katrina agreed.

"Yes, you're right. The performance of those disciples from your college in the weapon refining contest was truly impressive," Marvin praised. Zachary's performance was beyond his expectations.

The competition was already in full swing. After careful selection, the candidates in the two competition arenas had begun to use their chosen materials to cast models.

The steps for casting were the same, so after yesterday's competition, the audience was not so excited. They watched on quietly.

But the weapon refining contest always revealed some surprises.

All of a sudden, Truman, who was in Zachary's group, took out a sparkling plate-shaped OH weapon. After he injected the energy fire into it, it immediately flew over the furnace and started releasing a beam of light. The next moment, the furnace began to boil violently.

"Look! Isn't that a weapon refining aid?"

"It's said that it is very difficult to refine it because a lot of rare materials are needed. Moreover, only those weapon refiners who are above the Sage Level can refine it. But generally speaking, only those weapon refiners of the Imperial Level have a real shot at refining it."
