Treasure Hunting

Chapter 8 Collect Herbs

A race was ignited between Zachary and Elva. Their speeds were both difficult to follow leaving other disciples in bewilderment. The audience moved their heads from one side to another, eyes almost popped out in amazement and confusion. They couldn't catch up with them and could only watch as the two of them both disappeared.

Elva noticed that when she was about to catch up with Zachary, he would further increase his speed away from her, as if teasing her like they were six-year-old kids. She felt humiliated and degraded when she saw the confidence in his face. She couldn't believe that the most famous loser in the Welkin Sect could win over her. As the best disciple of the sect, she never lost to any other disciple. It was her first taste of defeat. Worse, from someone unexpected.

"Beauty, you're not going to catch me. Maybe we can have a battle practice next time!" Zachary didn't want to compete with Elva, since he was mindful that he couldn't beat her this time. If she caught up with him, he would surely be defeated. The Shadow Pace enabled him to achieve such speed. Otherwise, he would be immediately caught by Elva. Without a doubt, her cultivation level was incomparably higher than his.

Fueled by her pride and burning desire to prove her power, Elva showed no intention of giving up. While running, Zachary had a great idea. With swift shift in his speed gear and direction, he pulled a stick from a tree and had a sudden break.

Zachary's halt was something unexpected to Elva. She tried to control her speed but her momentum was difficult to destroy. She continued moving forward; luckily she had a grip on her speed and made a good turn before she was about to hit Zachary. She nicely bypassed the man without touching him. Meanwhile, the sound of a cloth being torn caught her attention.

When Elva quickly surveyed herself, she found her torn dress was barely covering her body.

"You..." Elva glared at Zachary, covering her sleekly full breasts in embarrassment.

A piece of white cloth was hanging on Zachary's stick, freely flying like a flag.

He flashed a teasing smile, showing his demure admiration in her body and discreet sweet success to stop her. "I'll go first..." Putting up a crooked smile, Zachary sprinted away.

Irritated, Zachary forcedly got up, rubbed his eyes and went out of the treehouse. When he opened the door, he saw a large group of disciples heading towards the bottom of the mountain.
