Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

At this point, Zachary had no clue they had singled him out. Soon after he took a seat, he heard the Blazing Roc's number being called. The next fight was about to start.

Today's substantial volume of registrations for the common group was as absurd as the Blazing Roc's first opponent. As soon as it showed up, it looked ready to crash into the roc head-on. It spared no effort in its aggressive attacks until its full strength got drained out.

One by one, the battles went on in that manner. Because the Blazing Roc's opponents all set out to a full-scale attack right after they stepped into the arena, the roc won thirty fights in succession in just half a day, which was very close to yesterday's track record. But due to the continuous battles' lengthy and intense nature, the roc's physical strength weakened much quicker than the day before.

The Blazing Roc's next opponent soon entered the arena. It was a treasure beast ranked within Crane College's top twenty list of common treasure beasts.

"The top thirty treasure beasts are all weaklings and easy targets! Up next is what I would consider a proper battle." Zachary squinted when he realized at last something was amiss. He noticed how intentional today's arrangement of beast battle was. However, he figured out his Blazing Roc wouldn't hold back to such a deliberate course of action.

As opposed to the earlier treasure beasts he regarded as unworthy opponents, this one started a radical style of defense by thwarting the Blazing Roc's attack after their fight commenced. The opponent struggled for thirty minutes before it could no longer resist the roc's charges and failed.

In the next round, the opposition used an identical approach against the Blazing Roc. But since it had more muscular strength and brawn, it persisted for a long while.

Because of the steady vicious fights and the prearranged deal, most of the Blazing Roc's physical strength diminished. It was put at a disadvantage, especially when dealing with a powerful treasure beast.

During the thirty-fifth round, the Blazing Roc came across a treasure beast ranking eighth on the list of common treasure beasts, the Double-headed Red Python.

Although the python didn't have any element, it could d

en the Blazing Roc and the Double-headed Red Python. A ray of rainbow-like light fell from the sky and shot into the roc's body, which looked quite overworked from the deadly spiraling of the python.

This incident shocked everyone. They didn't know what had happened and why this colorful light beam appeared from out of nowhere!

With everyone's attention fixed on the rainbow-colored light, the Blazing Roc, which was seized by the Double-headed Red Python, suddenly raised its head and roared after the light got infused into its body. A menacing power of Imperial Level burst out from the roc, forcing the python to go away. It then rolled on the ground a few times before halting.

The crowd looked more shocked, because the Blazing Roc, which they had witnessed struggling to survive without enough energy left just now, suddenly flashed out an extraordinary power after the rainbow beam shone on it like it was reborn.

What startled them more was how the Blazing Roc rose into the sky, spun in midair and released the Blazing Wheel. It charged toward the Double-headed Red Python, which had just pulled itself up and seemed not to understand what was going on.

When the Double-headed Red Python saw the Blazing Wheel rushing to its direction, it didn't dare confront it head-on. Instead, it shed its skin again to avert the wheel's frontal attack. However, just as the python peeled off its skin and bolted away from the wheel's attack range, the Blazing Roc released another wheel.
