Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"He who's unjust is bound to become undone. They're being deceived by Goliath," Zachary sneered. He already suspected that there was something wrong with Goliath. If he wanted to hide his strength, then Goliath would've never provoked the Ice Liger—which was the opposite of what he had just done. Earlier, he summoned a skill that was unique to the Ghost Clan even though he knew this would expose his identity. Obviously, he wanted to cause a stir to attract the attention of the disciples at the premium stage of King Level who were also searching for the Ice Liger.

There was only one reason why he did this—to indirectly kill any powerful disciple who was his potential competitor.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who thought if this. Truman and Anthony had the same idea as well, which was why they connived with Goliath to lure these disciples towards the liger and attack the beast together.

As a result, their joint attack irritated the beast.

Instantly, the liger counterattacked. It burst out intertwining ice thorns like blooming flowers in the area fifty meters around it. It was such a beautifully terrifying scene.

The disciples who approached the liger were all hit by the ice thorns. Most of them were trapped with cuts all over their bodies and their hands and feet pierced into place, immobilizing them.

These elites from the Shura College were trapped by the liger with ease. It became obvious how truly powerful it was!

Goliath, Truman, and Anthony gloated at the scene before them, pleased with the results of their plan. Now they'd have fewer opponents to deal with.

"They're surely not afraid to get their hands dirty!" Joan exclaimed in disdain once she realized what was happening, unable to restrain herself.

Within the next moment, the liger cleared the icicles with a wild swipe of its claws and was ready to attack the trapped disciples.

"I have to save them." Joan was unable to hold back her anger, as she didn't want to see so many disciples slaughtered by the vicious beast in front of her.

"You're asking for death if you go near it."

cer by its spiritual soul, thus making the bracer more powerful. If the bracer is refined by any beast or human's spiritual soul, it will become more powerful. Of course, you can also use its spiritual soul to refine your own spiritual soul," Andrew replied with great familiarity.

"Sounds great." Zachary's lips curled into a light smile. He had already absorbed the souls of the martial beasts before and managed to turn the Holy Bone Bracer into a soul weapon. Thus, he knew his brace had such a function. He asked Andrew just to confirm it.

"In fact, you'll be more than capable of subduing the beast with your strength. Why bother with such an unnecessary move?" Andrew asked immediately.

"Normally, I would want to subdue it. However, I can't use my true strength at the Imperial Level for the moment since this is the King Level contest. Although the spiritual soul of such a scarce beast was quite rare, it appears I have no other choice," Zachary said in a helpless tone. He needed to consider the overall results of his choice very carefully.

"In fact, after you get the Ice Liger's spiritual soul, you could put it into that of another treasure beast, if you currently possess one. That way, you can control the liger by the spiritual soul of another beast," Andrew explained slowly.

"Are you certain?" Zachary asked, his eyes lighting up with the new bit of information.
