Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After two excruciating hours of torment, at last, Zachary had gotten rid of Vivian. He went back to the cave behind the waterfall and hurried to enter the system to get back on his research.

But not long after Zachary set foot in the cave, another figure stepped inside but could not find him there. The figure mumbled in a distant voice, "How weird! I saw him come in just this minute with my own eyes. Has he discovered that I was following him? No, that would be ridiculous. This guy is a bit strange!" The figure disappeared the next minute.

As soon as Zachary entered the system, Mimi's alarm sounded. Through the system's surveillance program, he detected the presence of someone inside the cave.

"Is someone stalking me?" Zachary squinted, but just shrugged it off. After all, he had provoked a few people in the coliseum earlier, so it was not surprising that somebody would go after him.

"Congratulations! Since your treasure beast won thirty-five successive battles in the coliseum's common group, you have earned the title of 'Invincible Winner.' Thus, the system will award you with free one-time usage of the treasure beast system's super recovery function. This can aid in a treasure beast's complete recovery back to its full physical energy and strength and extend its combat power by two hundred percent for a brief period." Mimi's quiet, gentle voice echoed.

"I had no clue such a function existed in the treasure beast system." Zachary arched an eyebrow in amused skepticism.

"After the system's rehabilitation finished, it brought back this original function. It is limited for a one time use daily, but it would cost one thousand treasure-hunting coins per consumption," Mimi went on.

"I should have known how overpriced it would be! But with that function, winning thirty-five continuous battles was just the start," Zachary said. He must now focus on landing a spot in the top three of the coliseum's standings as soon as possible and get the qualification to gain access into the Beast Tamer Space. So the Blazing Roc's condition, together with the Demonic Emperor Beast's, were most crucial. By now, the Blazing Roc had already grasped the beast martial skill, and as long as the Demonic Emperor Beast could master a skill too, it would do just the job.

However, three days had already passed, but

ad made a strong impression at Crane College. Unfortunately, despite their dismay toward Zachary, they couldn't do anything to prevent his great achievements.

With Zachary's incredible power, the college's warriors would not dare disgrace themselves by confronting him, so the common group's total registration should have decreased sharply. On the contrary, however, the result was quite different. Today, the volume of registration was over two hundred, twice the average sum of registered warriors. Even if two treasure beasts fought in a group, at least a hundred battles would take place. The college members decided if they couldn't defeat Zachary's treasure beast, they would drain its energy instead. They banded together to stop Zachary, so he would no longer act proud.

Zachary also noticed everyone seemed to be plotting against him. Still, he was not surprised, because an outsider like him who had become an overnight sensation in other people's territory would receive lousy treatment.

After signing up, he didn't find a secluded place to sit down like before. He deliberately sat in the most eye-catching spot, right in the middle of the coliseum, and draw in the crowd's full attention.

Simultaneously, several of the college's warriors at the premium stage of Imperial Level gathered on the opposite side.

"Walter, everything is all set," a warrior at the primary stage of Imperial Level came over to report.

"Perfect. Today, let's teach this bastard a lesson!" There was something sinister with Walter and the other warriors.
