Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The Blazing Roc continued and won four more battles in a row. Since it had almost reached its strength limit, Zachary called it back. His ranking had risen by two ranks.

"Do you want to go on?" Linda asked, looking at Zachary. If the Demonic Emperor Beast fought battles, it wouldn't be difficult for Zachary to raise his ranking to the top ninety.

"Let's call it a day. If the Demonic Emperor Beast fights as well, I'm going to be a public enemy," Zachary answered calmly. He knew that once the Demonic Emperor Beast came onto the stage, it would definitely defeat its fair share of treasure beasts. But as a newcomer, he thought it would be better to keep a low profile. After all, he still had a month left. With the combination of the Blazing Roc and the Demonic Emperor Beast, he should be able to reach the top three.

"You are right. Let's go. But something is wrong. Alisa said she would come, didn't she? Why isn't she here yet? Forget it. I don't want you to see her, anyway." With that, Linda glanced at Zachary and left the coliseum.

Zachary followed at her heel.

"When did your Blazing Roc break through its strength limit?" Linda asked when they were outside of the coliseum.

"Yesterday," Zachary admitted.

"Yesterday? That's impossible. That breakthrough isn't that easy." Linda found it implausible.

"I have my own ways," Zachary said with a smile.

"What ways?" Linda continued to ask, her eyes narrowing. She had never heard of a beast tamer who could make their treasure beast break through its strength limit in one day. Chances for a treasure beast to break through the limit of its strength was small. So she also wanted to know how Zachary had managed it.

"I can't tell you that. It's my secret," Zachary said with a secretive smile, keeping Linda in suspense.

"Forget it. But you won't be complacent for long," Linda said, squinting her beautiful eyes.

"What do you mean?" Zachary glanced at her.

"Do you think the Imperial Level warriors of Crane College will let you, an outsider, do whatever you want in the coliseum? Yes, you met some powerful treasure beasts today. Yet only o

Before he knew it, midnight had struck.

It was the first time both of them had been alone for so long, and in such an amicable atmosphere.

"It's late. Do you want to sleep here tonight?" Vivian asked calmly.

"It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to stay in a room alone overnight. Aren't you afraid of what I might do?" Zachary snickered.

"Don't think on it too much. If you stay here, I'll go and stay with Tracy," Vivian said after casting a glare at Zachary.

"Oh. You don't have to do that. I have something else to do, so I must leave now." Zachary stood up, intending to leave. But before he did, he turned to Vivian and said, "It was so unlike you to come to Crane College. You should seize the opportunity to learn the beast taming skills. If possible, I'll catch a treasure beast for you. Until then, if you find anything you don't understand, just come to the coliseum and ask me. I think that's where I'll be spending most of my time from now on."

"I see." Vivian nodded.

Then Zachary headed out and left.

"What Linda said was right. His attitude towards me tonight was completely different from before. If things go on like this, maybe one day I will make him fall in love with me," Vivian said with certainty.

After returning to the cave behind the waterfall, Zachary entered the system. Since it was almost time, he headed straight to the Living-dead Tomb to cultivate with Anne.
