Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After fifteen minutes of standstill, Zachary still kept the upper hand even though he fought against Alloys alongside his treasure beast. On the contrary, Alloys could no longer hold on. So right after Zachary escaped another concerted attack from him and his Thunder Bull, Alloys quickly popped up beside the bull. His body set off tremendous Imperial Level power followed by the bull, releasing extremely bright thunder power. In a flash, the power with thunder element fused with Alloys' power.

"Thunderous Elephant Skill!" In a split second, Alloys waved one hand and a thunder beast shadow looking like a giant bull charged straight toward Zachary with significant momentum. The entire ground shook as it sped up, giving off thunder light with no letup that spread out within a few meters. Wherever the thunder light went by, it left behind a trail of scorched earth.

When the thunder beast shadow edged nearer Zachary, it shifted into a spectacular thunderstorm that rumbled like an enraged giant bull's roar, extending to a radius of several dozen meters. The force of its strike was equal to the power at the ninth grade of Imperial Level.

"The Beast Merging Skill?" Zachary squinted as he took a closer look. The next minute, the thunderstorm engulfed him once again.

"You can't resist it now!" Pleased with his performance, Alloys grinned with satisfaction as he watched the thunderstorm hit Zachary head-on without any noise.

However, before he could stop laughing, a burst of aura that had reached the seventh grade of Imperial Level quickly rushed out from the thunderstorm. But then, another gust of strange supreme power also broke out like an eruption. To the onlookers' shock, a soul shadow in the shape of a woman came from the thunderstorm.

When Alloys came back to his senses, he saw that a soul shadow had materialized before him.

"Is this real? The seventh-grade aura? And a spiritual soul?" he mumbled. The sight stunned Alloys. He had never expected that Zachary had already cultivated the spiritual soul.

The other spectators looked just as shocked at the scene that unfolded. Although they had previously heard about Zachary's incredible performance in the Devil Kingdom's selection test of the Imperial Level Warrior Contest, most of them had no clue what the exceptional performance referred to. It was only at this point that they eventually figured out the meaning of the so-called

ers of the Kong Clan were not going to make a move, so the other Imperial Level warriors wouldn't want to create trouble for themselves.

"Barnes, aren't we going to make a move?" The Sage Level warriors who saw the situation couldn't help but glance at Barnes again.

Barnes calmly shook his head. Since they didn't stop it earlier, there was no point in holding Zachary back now. Besides, even if they interrupted him this time, they still couldn't rule out the Kong Clan from finding trouble with Zachary later on. There was no need for Crane College to get involved in this mess.

Just right before the ice saber in Zachary's hand was about to fall and directly take Alloys' life, a delicate figure suddenly appeared and quickly shot out a few silk threads to entangle the ice saber in Zachary's hands.

"Don't slay him!" the delicate figure cried out.

Zachary looked back after hearing the voice and noticed the figure coming to him. It was Alisa.

Everyone was shocked to see Alisa coming out to stop Zachary. Since Alisa had no direct relationship with the Kong Clan, her reaction took everybody by surprise.

"Alisa, you showed up just in time!" Zachary said coldly.

"You can't kill him." Alisa's face was very serious.

"Why not? I made a bet with him that the loser will die, so I have a justification in my plan to kill him. Besides, if I don't do this now, I will have infinite trouble later on!" Zachary said, shrugging his shoulders.

"If you kill him, you will be in bigger trouble! He is a member of the Kong Clan, so don't you do anything terrible," Alisa said with a huge frown.
