Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

While everyone watched the drama unfold, a sudden burst of laughter broke their shock. "Wow, I didn't expect you to have two treasure beasts."

The group turned to look to the source of the laughter and stopped short at Zachary.

Under normal circumstances, Zachary should have been nervous. The warrior in white had just summoned a scarce treasure beast with the thunder element. The beast was a huge threat to him. However, he still looked calm, which no one understood.

"I know your Thunder Dragon Horse also possesses the thunder element. But my Thunder Leopard is one rank higher than yours. So, the result has already been determined." The warrior in white, who had looked dull and inarticulate, finally opened his mouth. His attitude showed his arrogance.

"Really? If the gap is merely one rank, the result can't be that easily determined," Zachary said with a smile.

His words seemed to have caused a stir among the viewers. With only one rank difference, their strength should be about the same. It would be hard to say which of the two was more powerful.

"When it comes to scarce treasure beasts, one rank can make a big difference," the warrior in white said with a snort.

Hearing this, Zachary narrowed his eyes. He knew that the treasure beast list of the Supernal Continent was authoritative. The Thunder Dragon Horse was one rank lower than the Thunder Leopard in the treasure beast list. He was obviously at a disadvantage here. In fact, only summoning the Sun-swallowing Beast's cub could outshine the Thunder Leopard. But considering it had the potential of being a Sage Level beast, it would attract everyone's attention. That could only bring him trouble, so he dropped the idea. The Thunder Leopard in front of him was only at the third grade of King Level. That meant it was two grades higher than his Thunder Dragon Horse. If they were to fight, the Thunder Dragon Horse still had a chance of winning.

With that thought in mind, Zachary suggested, "Since you are so confident, how about letting the two treasure beasts fight? We'll let them decide the outcome."

Hearing Zachary's proposal, the warrior in white turned to look at Daniel, waiting for his answer.

"Since Harley wants to compete, let's do it. The outcome has to be definitive so that no one co

e obviously restless. If Zachary's Thunder Dragon Horse was defeated, the race would become complicated. Unfortunately, now, he couldn't do anything to help him. Though, he had made his own careful arrangements just in case. He couldn't let this competition get out of his control.

Even when it was blatantly evident he'd lose, Zachary didn't change his stance. Seeing that the Thunder Dragon Horse was about to reach its limit, he told Mimi, "Mimi, give Kiwi the Crown of Thunder."

"All right," Mimi replied immediately.

Just when the Thunder Dragon Horse looked like it couldn't withstand another attack, a dazzling ray shone above its head as a shadow appeared. Once the thunder radiance dissipated, there was a strange crown on the horse's head. It was the Crown of Thunder.

Everyone was surprised to see the Crown of Thunder. They had no clue where it came from, but they noticed that it was no ordinary item.

With the help of the crown, the Thunder Dragon Horse's aura suddenly grew.

It reached the second grade. Then the third grade. Then the fourth grade.

In the blink of an eye, its aura had been upgraded by three grades.

"What? What is going on? Why did the beast's strength suddenly increase by three grades?"

"Does it have anything to do with the crown on its head? What is it?"

"It seems that the really interesting part of the show is about to start."

The change in the course of the battle had the crowd both surprised and excited. They hadn't anticipated this dramatic turn of events.
