Treasure Hunting

"All of you! Stay back!" Benjamin knew that the other disciples couldn't beat Zachary. It was his turn. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zachary and left a shadow behind. As a warrior at the eighth grade of Mortal Level, he utilized his martial energy, which transformed into a tiger shape and dashed towards Zachary.

Aware that Benjamin's grade was much higher than his, Zachary decided to dodge the attack with his Shadow Pace. However, Benjamin's attack was so powerful that Zachary was hit by a wave of energy though the attack did not hit him directly. The energy wave pushed him a meter away.

"A warrior at the eighth grade of Mortal Level is powerful indeed." Zachary frowned.

Benjamin was not satisfied that Zachary was only grazed by his attack. He strongly believed that a direct hit could've knocked Zachary down or even killed him. He immediately went for a second attack, a third and a fourth attack, unrelenting, with the objective of killing Zachary outright.

It looked as though Benjamin had the upper hand in the battle, but Shadow Pace kept Zachary safe from Benjamin's attacks by augmenting his speed.

But Benjamin was, after all, much stronger than Zachary in terms of cultivation. He decided to trap him in the impact of his martial arts.

Boom!

Zachary retreated once more as another attack blasted past him. His face became sober as he focused himself on the new injury that he sustained from that last attack.

"What skill are you using? I am much more powerful than you. A piece of garbage like you should not be able to survive my attacks for this long." Benjamin felt frustrated that Zachary was only mildly injured after all of his attacks.

"A piece of garbage?" Zachary repeated in a cocky tone. He shook his head with an impish smile. He knew that his current power could not match with Benjamin's. He then remembered the Strength Pill the he received as a reward from Mimi after he completed the random treasure-hunting quest. He remembered that it could boost his strength to a higher level but it would cause serious side effects.

The Strength Pill seemed to be the only chance that he had if he wanted to defeat Benjamin. He braced himself for a sudden change in direction and then turned towards Benjamin. He took out the Strength Pill and threw it into his mouth.
