Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After announcing the rules of the race, Shaw continued, "The first round starts now. This round revolves around treasures. Since you all want to marry our leader's daughter, you need to show your sincerity. So, every participant should show their sincerity by sending Vivian treasures. There's no limit to the number of treasures you want to showcase. It could be one, or more than one. Our Xiao Clan's judges will then go out to choose the one they consider most valuable."

As soon as Shaw was done, the Imperial Level warriors here for the race opened their Virtual Air Spaces. They went in search of any treasure powerful enough to prove their sincerity.

"Once you're ready, you can go up to the stage and show us your treasures!" Shaw shouted, announcing that the race had officially begun.

Several Imperial Level warriors rushed to the stage immediately. They were desperate to win, convinced their treasures were precious enough. However, as soon as they showcased them, the crowd started booing. Most of the treasures were at the mere King Level, and only a few were at the Imperial Level. Even then, those Imperial Level treasures were extremely weak and not presentable. Upon seeing their treasures, the onlookers found them boring. These treasures were clearly incapable of intriguing their interest.

Considering the warriors themselves were only at the primary stage, it was to be expected. Needless to say, they couldn't have acquired treasures that could surprise everyone. If the crowd gave them the bird, Vivian and the Xiao Clan's big shots obviously weren't impressed.

"How laughable! They're presenting treasures even beggars won't spend their time to snatch. Don't they feel ashamed of themselves?" Anthony snorted.

"No one asked for your commentary. I'm the one to judge here, not you. Besides, why are you getting so excited already? It's still early on in the game." Vivian gave him a reproachful look. At least she had more decency than him in this respect.

"Vivian is right. Only those without confidence or power, just desperation, will jump in like reckless idiots. Those certain of their prowess will hold back until later on in the game," Jaxon said in a composed manner, sitting straight and staring at the battlefield.

More Imperial Level warriors came to the stage and showed their treasures. This time, those treasures were obviously superior to those that had come before them.

Thirty or so Imperial Level warriors came to the stage to compete. However, their treasures were basically very common. Only a handful could be considered scare. Despite this, they were still inferior ones. Those warriors were all from those forces at the primary stage or medium stage. It was safe to say the

ing the Centennial Shura Fruit stunned them for a moment, but then they got excited again. The Centennial Shura Fruit was obviously rarer and more valuable than the Cloudy Snow Bead. It was one of the best rare treasures.

Saul's first treasure alone was enough for him to defeat the previous candidates. It was obvious he came well prepared.

When Daniel saw this, his expression changed. He hadn't expected the Xuanyuan Clan to come and have prepared such a precious treasure. With gritted teeth, he quickly gestured for another blue-robed warrior to get on the stage.

Not to be outdone, the man in blue took out a one-hundred-year-old rare plant at the Imperial Level, saying, "I heard that Vivian is obsessed with pill refining. So, I deliberately brought her this rare plant. It's called the Green Bearded Root!"

As soon as Vivian caught a glimpse of the plant, her eyes shone with delight. Everyone around the stage was once again in an uproar. This rare one-hundred-year plant was as valuable as a cultivation-aiding treasure for pill refiners. No wonder Vivian was so happy to see it.

In turn, Saul opened his second treasure box at once. It also held a rare plant. What was more, it was two hundred years old. This one was, without a doubt, more precious and powerful than the other one.

Daniel's expression turned sullen. He had carefully prepared these two treasures, expecting them to be outstanding enough. However, Saul's treasures still managed to surpass his.

Right at this moment, an extremely arrogant voice sounded. "It is just a two-hundred-year-old rare treasure! It's not that big of a deal."

Everyone was surprised to hear those words. They wondered who was arrogant enough to claim that. When they turned to look at the owner of the voice, they found it was none other than Zachary.
