Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"I don't think it's the best idea to challenge the three of us alone. You won't survive. You won't even be able to manage if it's just one of us, much less all three of us at the same time. I advise you to step away and call it a day or else your Celestial College will lose," Truman said arrogantly. If it were not for Zachary's intervention, the battle would have already been concluded. The Celestial College would have been declared losers.

"You don't know what you're saying. Just give it a shot first. I might surprise you," Zachary said and dared the three guys. "Do you wish to fight one after the other, or all at once together?"

Goliath, Truman, and Anthony exchanged glances as they heard Zachary's provocative words. None of them expected that much confidence from him. They waited on each other, silent in their own thoughts. Truman and Anthony, still hurt from Queenie's attack with the Ice Liger, did not budge, while Goliath was afraid of Zachary's strength. For a moment, they stood in a deadlock.

The crowd waited tensely. They all expected the three to launch an attack without hesitation. Everyone thought they could easily defeat Zachary. Instead, they were taken aback by the three's hesitation.

"What's wrong with them? Harley is only at the primary stage of King Level! But why do they look afraid of him? They could easily defeat him with one strike. Come on! Don't let the Celestial College win!" one warrior at the premium stage of Imperial Level from the management team of Shura College complained. He was rooting for Goliath, Truman, and Anthony and was eagerly wishing that the Shura College disciples would once and for all defeat their enemy. This would bring back the honor they had lost during the weapon refining contest.

The other members of the management team nodded in agreement.

Katrina smiled at the sight of the deadlock. She fixed her eyes on the battlefield and prepared

in surprise. Then, they furrowed their eyebrows and glared at Zachary with piercing stares. They gathered momentum, preparing to fight with all their strength. They only needed to work together to defeat Zachary and his treasure beasts.

"Let's do it together!" Goliath motioned to Truman and Anthony.

As he spoke, Goliath had already turned into a phantom and was approaching Zachary. Truman and Anthony were relieved to see Goliath first launch the attack. They took their treasure beasts and followed behind him. In an instant, they surrounded Zachary.

Zachary narrowed his eyes and watched Goliath approach him. He did not want to fight with him and risk exposing his true strength. But Zachary knew that Goliath would not be too happy about that too. He was merely inviting Truman and Anthony to participate.

Zachary's speculation proved to be correct. As Goliath neared, he lost momentum. It was as if Goliath was merely taunting him.

'What a scheming guy! He was just baiting Truman and Anthony to attack!' Zachary thought to himself. Then, his lips curved into a sly smile. From behind him, the Hundred-Treasure Beast flew to block Goliath's attack.

The Hundred-Treasure Beast was a treasure beast at the Imperial Level. Goliath had no choice but to fight back.
