Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After witnessing the scene, everyone was stunned and speechless. But a few seconds later, they recovered and began to laugh mercilessly. All kinds of ridiculing comments started to arise among the crowd.

"Ha-ha, what a fool! He actually led everyone to believe that he was strong. After creating such suspense, all he did was break his own model! Well, I seriously doubt that if he would even complete an ordinary weapon now without the model," one of the crowd teased.

"He is just a green hand. It was a mere stroke of luck to get to this level," another one echoed.

"Look at him standing with his head help up high! Not even a look of remorse on his face, despite losing so badly in front of a huge crowd! He only brought dishonor to our Celestial College," one disciple from the Celestial College said angrily.

"Dad, it seems that Harley failed," Pollard said dejectedly, as he looked at Jace.

"No, things are not the way others are looking. Pollard, look at these pieces carefully!" Jace excitedly said, as he shook his head.

Pollard, confused with Jace's reaction, took a closer look at the broken model. He soon found a weapon that was as sharp as an arrow. Since it was smaller in size, everyone missed seeing it.

"So, does this mean that Harley won?" Pollard exclaimed in surprise. His once remorse-looking eyes, all of a sudden, lit up in jubilation.

"Trust me, my boy. It is much more than that. He has successfully superseded the intricate refining process and extracted the essence of rare materials with the help of the Ghostly Fire Furnace and the Thaumaturgic Refining Skill. Even though it is not a very impressive weapon, if I am not wrong, it can transform automatically and freely," Jace said with mixed emotions. He was truly amazed with Zachary's capabilities. He was looking forward to witnessing his boundless talents.

Right now, everyone else continued to regard Zachary as a loser, as they rained leering comments on him. Zachary, ignoring the crowd's taunts, walked over to the debris of his broken model and picked up the sharp weapon. Then in a casual tone, he announced, "I've made it." After saying that, he swiftly threw the weapon into the air.

As soon as the weapon shot out, it rose and expanded in the air instantly like a magic weapon and radiated a dazzling color. It created ripples that spread quickly, emitting blue light. Everyone could feel the energy vibrating from the weapon. In an instant, the surroundings shone with brilliance.

The spectators across the arena were awed as they s

Zachary's astonishing performance, stunning everyone in the crowd.

At the same time, Marvin announced the list of the four people who qualified for the third stage. The names were Zachary, Cole, Anthony and Brandon Chen—the low-key guy who surprised everyone with his strong weapon. By now he was well known to everyone.

The third round of the competition, that was also the finale, would be held in three days.

Zachary put away the Ghostly Fire Furnace and left the competition area. Soon, he was surrounded by Queenie and other disciples. They seemed to be more excited than him. His victory had absolutely brought honor to the Celestial College.

After talking to Queenie and the others for a while, Zachary left. He decided to return to the system. However, before he could walk out of the field, he saw two beautiful women appear in front of him. They seemed to come here specifically for him.

'I just won a game. Then why are they here?' he murmured inwardly as he looked at the two figures in front of him. Soon his expression cleared as he realized they were Polly and Joan.

"Joan?" Polly called out in surprise. Polly and Joan were acquaintances. She even considered Joan to be her future sister-in-law. Seeing Joan also come to talk to Zachary, Polly was surprised

"Oh, it's you, Polly! Do you know him?" Joan asked. She was also surprised. She didn't know that Zachary and Polly actually knew each other.

Polly nodded.

"What can I do for you, ladies?" Zachary asked, as he crossed his hands over his chest.

"I have something to ask you!" Joan and Polly replied at the same time.

They were both stunned when they spoke at the same time and asked the same question!
