Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

A thunderous sound filled the air above the coliseum. Suddenly, the thunder radiance surrounding the Thunder Dragon Horse spread in all directions. The radius it covered changed from one to three meters. It was like an expanded thunder field. The thunder currents constantly pulsing, as if forming their own domains.

Of course, the most shocking part was that the Thunder Dragon Horse had broken through to the Imperial Level so abruptly.

"Huh? It reached the Imperial Level! How could it break through to such a level like this?"

"Are my eyes deceiving me?"

"This is impossible. Could the thunder beast have been hiding its strength all the time?!"

Chaos traveled through the audience. Everyone gazed anew at the Thunder Dragon Horse.

Logically speaking, the Thunder Dragon Horse should not have been able to withstand a violent impact without equaling its opponent in strength.

As the horse's opponent tried to break through the thunder shield, the shield disintegrated suddenly. That left it diving headfirst into the thunder field's range. Once it was inside, a thunder current like stormy waves filled the field.

The current rushed into the horse's opponent's body and kept building up, producing a destructive force. In an instant, its abdomen exploded, shooting out blood and flesh every which way. The scene was gruesome.

Lying on the ground, the opponent gave an agonizing wail.

The crowd couldn't stay calm anymore. They whispered to each other and looked at the Thunder Dragon Horse with strong doubts. If winning the previous match was due to mere luck, it was obvious this one couldn't have been. The Thunder Dragon Horse had released such astonishing power to injure its opponent, proving that it was indeed a powerful beast.

'How is this even possible? From what we've investigated, this treasure beast of his should have been the weakest among all his treasure beasts.' Barnes was fuming over what had transpired. But he quickly

's watchful eyes, the Golden Flame Tusked Beast walked to the center of the coliseum. Since it was much larger, it looked down at the Thunder Dragon Horse with obvious disdain in its eyes.

Everyone present immediately started discussing the upcoming pairing. Did the Thunder Dragon Horse have more tricks up its sleeves, or would the Golden Flame Tusked Beast defeat it easily? Logically, the latter was more likely. After all, the gap in their strengths was obvious. The Thunder Dragon Horse had already broken through to the Imperial Level. It should not be able to make any more shocking improvements. However, its previous performance gave them doubts about this outcome. They could only wait and see.

A moment later, a sparkle appeared on the Golden Flame Tusked Beast's enormous tail. As it slowly formed, the beast flew towards the Thunder Dragon Horse like an arrow off the string. Seeing its opponent's fierceness, the horse did not use its Diamond-shaped Thunder Shield to resist. Instead, it took a few steps back and tried to distance itself from its large opponent.

However, the Golden Flame Tusked Beast was obviously faster. When it was less than two meters away, it opened its mouth and spurted out a flame wave with a tornado of fire. It instantly rushed towards the seemingly weak horse.
