Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"How was he able to make the extremely rare beast egg accept him as its master? That's impossible!"

"I agree with you. Even in Crane College, which has a galaxy of talents, no beast tamer can accomplish such a feat. It should have been even more impossible for a foreign warrior!"

"You know, even the great Sage Level warriors in our college wouldn't have been able to do it."

"He should have at least had the strength of a Sage Level warrior to make this rare beast egg accept him as its master!"

For a moment, all kinds of doubts and apprehensions traveled through the crowd. Few thought Zachary would succeed in his endeavor.

"Sir, do you think it possible for Harley to make this beast egg accept him?" Vivian couldn't help but ask Jay.

Tracy and the others also looked at Jay. Of all of them, he was the most experienced knowledgeable warrior. They trusted his opinions on the matter.

"It's hard to say. However, it has to be said that there hasn't been a warrior in Crane College capable of accomplishing such a task; not in the past twenty years. That shows how difficult it would be to do so. A warrior would perhaps have to have luck on his side to manage it, and I can't say for certain if Harley has such luck. Of course, I obviously hope Harley succeeds," Jay said with a cunning smile. What that boiled down to was, if Zachary made the beast egg accept him, he would officially be superior to all the warriors in Crane College. That, in turn, would heighten the status of the Devil Kingdom and Shura College as well.

"I think Harley has a good chance of succeeding. He'd tamed the Sun-swallowing Beast, after all. That means he must have an innate talent and ability as a beast tamer," Tracy pointed out, not hiding the fact that she thought highly of Zachary.

"If Harley can make this extremely rare beast egg accept him as its master, then Crane College will suffer double losses." Vivian smiled eagerly.

Jay and the others looked at one another and smiled.

aning the beast egg rejected the owner. Or, it would get absorbed, meaning the beast egg accepted the master. Nobody had ever seen the blood neither slide down nor get absorbed.

Silas and the two elders were also very disconcerted. They immediately approached the egg and observed it and the blood for a while. Then they looked at one another in confusion. Obviously, they had never come across such a situation before and it felt incredible.

The crowd went back to its chatter.

"That means he failed, doesn't it?"

"Yes. He couldn't do it. I knew he wouldn't be able to."

"There's nothing to see now. He should just get off the stage. He should stop making a fool of himself!"

Crane College's warriors took the chance to go back to their mockery of Zachary.

But a moment later, more beams of dazzling light shone from the egg. Then it drifted into the air. Floating up high, it rotated slowly, still emitting the dark purple light. It was an unusual scene.

This stopped everyone in their tracks, confusion marring their faces.

Deafening cries came from inside the beast egg. The cries spread out and resounded through the air, almost piercing everyone's eardrums. The weaker disciples covered their ears with their hands, looking pained. Even Silas and the two elders had the color drain out of their faces.
