Treasure Hunting

Zachary went back to his tent and was about to enter the system to report the progress of the competition to Anne, when a delicate shadow suddenly appeared in front of him like a tornado.

"Master Sara?" Zachary smiled when he saw her.

"Well done! You were actually able to defeat a disciple at the medium stage of Earth Level and enter the final round. It seems that I underestimated you before!" Sara said with a cold smile.

"Do you regret that you didn't coach me?" Zachary replied and then laughed aloud.

"Actually, I already knew there was something wrong with you. But I didn't expect that you could recover so soon after five of your meridians were injured. To the best of my knowledge, a fourth-grade therapeutic pill couldn't do that to you, could it? What are you hiding from me?" She was curious about how Zachary recovered from his injuries so soon. If Lewis and the stewards hadn't confirmed Zachary's injuries, she would have suspected that he had been lying about his injuries all this time.

'I'll leave this to her to guess. She will never get the right answer from me, ' Zachary thought to himself. Zachary never answered her question and remained silent.

"But I am more interested in the bracer that you now wear. Although it looks ordinary, I am guessing that it's not a common one," said Sara. She stared at the Holy Bone Bracer on Zachary's right hand.

Zachary admired the fact that Sara was indeed a warrior of Imperial Level. She was able to tell that his Holy Bone Bracer was extraordinary with one look.

"Oh, you mean this bracer? I found it inside the Burial Forest. If you like it, I'll get one for you later," Zachary answered calmly.

"No, thanks." She cast one last glance at Zachary, turned around and then left.

'That's weird. She is paying too much attention to me that you'd think she has a crush on me. It's impossible, of course. But what is she hiding?' Zachary pondered as he watched Sara leave.

As soon as Sara was gone, Elva arrived. Although she was cold as always, there was confusion and surprise on her beautiful face.

"Elva..." When Zachary saw Elva, he knew she must have figured out that he kept the fact that his meridians were healed. And considering her personality, he believed that she must be angry about what he concealed.

My opponent is Chandler, a warrior at the ninth grade of the Earth Level, and I have no chance of winning against him at all. The reason why I could defeat Gary is because he was proud and underestimated me. The Holy Bone Bracer is really powerful. It could absorb an opponent's martial energy and use it for a counterattack.
