Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After Zachary and Linda left the coliseum, they looked around to check for other people. When the coast was clear, Linda handed the treasure to Zachary.

"Thank you very much!" Of course, Zachary was thrilled as the treasure could help the Thunder Dragon Horse enhance its strength in a short amount of time.

"You know how to use it, right? Although it could improve the strength of a treasure beast by two grades, try not to let the treasure beast absorb it in one breath. You should divide the whole process into different parts so that it would not cause any burden on the treasure beast," Linda warned.

"I see." Zachary nodded. He had previously gotten into big trouble when he let the Thunder Dragon Horse take a treasure at the third grade of King Level. Thus, he now knew that he could not use the treasure entirely in one go.

"You may go to the coliseum by yourself tomorrow. I will come if I am free," Linda said and quickly left.

As for Zachary, he also went back to the cave behind the waterfall.

A few moments later, he entered the system and heard Mimi's sweet voice that said, "We have compared the gene samples, and two of them matched the Blazing Roc's gene at about ninety-nine percent."

"Oh, whose samples are these two?" Zachary asked.

"They are the gene samples from two of the three treasure beasts you collected yesterday. They are the Gigantic Rhinoceros and the Demonic Emperor Beast."

"Really? Are their genes that good?" He was honestly a bit surprised to hear the news. After all, he did not expect that those two gene samples, which he had just casually collected, turned out to be so useful.

"These two kinds of genes both possess their own unique qualities. The Gigantic Rhinoceros has a special gene that enables it to break through its strength's limit, while the Demonic Emperor Beast has a peculiar combination of mutant genes," Mimi answered.

"It seems that I made the right decision when I went to Crane College this time," Zachary muttered. He knew that if the Blazing Roc successfully fused the genes and made a breakthrough this time, he would surely be off to a good start with his gene research.

"Now, you can choose the direction of the gene breakthrough you want. Do you want a breakthrough in strength or in mutation?" Mimi asked.

"I prefer a breakthrough in strength, which is what the Blazing Roc needs the most for the time being. As for the breakthrough in mutation, I can try that wh

e more treasure very soon!" Zachary exclaimed as he rubbed his chin and nodded.

"It will only take three days to collect all the rest of the fragments, but that is still not enough. You cannot activate the treasure unless you inject them with strong power that is at least above the Holy Level," Shadow added.

"Oh, I see. It's easy. I can ask Anne for help." When Zachary finished speaking, he left the Death Arena and went to the Living-dead Tomb.

He saw Anne, and told her about the collection of the treasure fragments.

"The Ice Armor? It is a reasonably decent low-grade Divine Level treasure. It also falls in the ice element category, so it's quite suitable for you to use. It is said that the Ice Armor has existed for more than a thousand years, and a famous divine caster cast it a thousand years ago," said Anne.

"A low-grade Divine Level treasure? Are the Divine Level treasures divided into different grades?" Zachary asked in surprise.

"Of course, even Divine Level treasures also have strong ones and weak ones. Therefore, they are divided into low, medium, and high grades. The truth is, the so-called Divine Level treasure refers to treasures with the Divine Level potential. Most of them could grow, but their chances of reaching the Divine Level depend on their owners' abilities. Take the Ice Armor as an example. Even if you can collect all its fragments, your strength could only allow you to use it as an Imperial Level treasure at the most. However, you can improve it to the Sage Level if you break through and become a Sage Level warrior. You can deduce the rest in the same manner," Anne explained.
