Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"You must rank among one of the Imperial Level warriors from the Devil Kingdom, right?" asked Julian, staring sharply at Zachary.

"Yes. May I ask for your name?" Zachary replied calmly. He stopped mounting the stairs, because he knew that Julian was powerful, and it was best not to underestimate him.

"I'm Julian Huo," he said coldly.

"So you are Julian. I've heard a lot about you!" Zachary clapped his hands, pretending to be polite.

"Don't act so hypocritically. Barnes has issued an order. No one is allowed near the bell tower today. If you have any sense, you'll leave now. Otherwise, proceed at your own risk!" Julian warned arrogantly.

'I didn't expect that Julian would also step in. Things are much more complicated now. Maybe they will have to duel each other. However, with Julian as his opponent, he will certainly suffer greatly. Julian's Raging Fire Beast is a scarce treasure beast, and it is considered to be one of the most powerful among the treasure beasts of Crane College. Moreover, its strength has already measured to a warrior at the premium stage of the Imperial Level. Therefore, Julian has no need to actually fight himself. His Raging Fire Beast alone is powerful enough.' Now, Linda was worried about Zachary because no matter how capable he was, he would be no match for Julian.

"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Zachary ignored Julian and proceeded to mount the stairs.

"You are asking for it!" Julian snorted and balled his fist.

All of a sudden, the Raging Fire Beast, which had been preparing to fight, transformed into a fireball and pounced straight at Zachary. The roaring flames covered its body, flickering so intimidatingly that everyone felt frightened.

Before the beast closed in, Zachary already felt its heat burning all over his body, but he was without fear and did not stop. At almost the same time, the Blazing Roc that was loyal to Zachary instantly rushed forward from his side. It spread its wings and dove down, intent on stopping the beast. However, the strength of this Raging Fire Beast far exceeded that of the Blazing Roc, so before the Blazing Roc could intercede, the beast opened its fiery maw and suddenly spurted forth a fierce fire. In an instant, a wave of flame washed over the Blazing Roc,

required to do this.

"It's him! That guy is Harley!" Seeing the third treasure beast—the Thunder Dragon Horse—appearing beside Zachary, Linda, who previously had refused to admit it, finally exclaimed in surprise.

Now everyone's eyes fixated on Zachary. Although they had heard that one of the Imperial Level warriors of the Devil Kingdom had the capability to control three treasure beasts at once, they had not believed it until they now witnessed it with their own eyes. But because they had seen this series of events happening right here, they looked even more shocked. They did not expect that in addition to the Vanity Kingdom, in the realm of the three kingdoms there was a warrior of Imperial Level who could possess this astonishing capability of beast taming.

After striking the bell, Zachary descended the stairs at a leisurely stroll. He cupped his hands and said to Julian, "Sorry about that."

"You must be Harley! The champion at the Imperial Level Warrior Contest of the Devil Kingdom." Now Julian knew without a doubt of Zachary's identity.

Of course, as soon as Julian said this, the crowd burst into an uproar again, because they had never considered that the young man in front of them was actually Harley. He did not seem like much, appearing ordinary, but he was able to control three treasure beasts simultaneously! In addition, although he was only at the medium stage of Imperial Level, he had become the champion warrior at the recent Imperial Level Warrior Contest of the Devil Kingdom.
