Chapter 474 A Sudden Appearance

Of course, Zachary's words astonished Joan, as if she hadn't realized what he meant. However, after she saw with her own eyes and felt his strength, which she could by no means resist, she realized that there was a sizeable gap in strength between them. Therefore, she was naturally interested in his proposal. After all, compared to the victory of a contest, the breakthrough to the Imperial Level was much more irresistible for any warrior of King Level.

"How do I know if you're lying to me? Maybe you said those words deliberately, only to make me give up the strength contest so that your ambition will be satisfied," Joan stated matter-of-factly. She found it hard to consider what he said. She also noticed that he seemed determined to win the first place of the strength contest.

"I would never lie to my own people! Anyway, you would soon become Pollard's wife. If I lie to you, then he would call me to account." Zachary chuckled as he shook his head.

"What do you mean? Whose wife? Don't talk nonsense!" Joan wailed, her face flushing bright red from shyness.

"I can send you there as long as you agree. Considering your present strength, I believe you can break through and reach the Imperial Level in a week or two," Zachary continued. He would send her to the Pilgrimage Space to cultivate her skills and attain a higher rank. Since her strength was close to the Imperial Level, she only needed the last step. If she stayed in the Pilgrimage Space for a while, it would be enough for her to break through and reach the Imperial Level.

"Where exactly?" Joan inquired, her pulse racing. Zachary's words sounded clear and logical, but Joan still felt doubtful.

"You'll know when you get there. But if you decide to go, you need to give up the strength contest," Zachary responded.

When Joan heard what he said, she became very hesitant.

"Don't hesitate. Let me send you there now." Zachary never intended to give Joan any time to think about the condition. With a wicked smirk on his face, he carefully placed his hand on her shoulder. In an instant, he took her into the system.

In the blink of an eye, Joan found herself in a place with beautiful scenery. There in the garden full of peach trees were three treasure beasts, and they stared at her with their asymmetrical eyes. In reality, they belonged to Zachary. Although Joan had already gathered that he had possessed two treasure beasts and subdued the Hundred-

the ice thorns and could only fight with all their strength to dodge hard.

The senior leaders of the Shura College, including Marvin, were all astounded to see this unfold. They had never expected that the Ice Liger had such a compelling skill. No wonder it was a scarce treasure beast with the ice element.

While Truman and Anthony remained trapped by ice thorns, Queenie promptly stretched out her body and soared up. In an instant, she flew over the sky above the two men. Then, as she twisted her body, the ice radiance went shining.

Ice Ripple Dancing!

The ice energy turned into sharp-edged ice pitons, rushing down and enveloping Truman and Anthony, like a sudden heavy rain. At this moment, their faces changed into darkness because the ice thorns trapped them. Under siege, they fought head-on.

Queenie's strength proved more powerful than theirs, so it was not long before Anthony was hit by an ice thorn. His protective martial energy broke, and severe stab wounds could be found all over his body.

Though still alive, Truman struggled as well, and he was about to collapse too.

While Truman and Anthony were almost overpowered by Queenie and the Ice Liger, Goliath, who had been fighting against Rebecca and Scott, suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Both Rebecca and Scott were caught unaware, but then they noticed something. They peered at Queenie, who was still in midair. "Be careful, Queenie!"

Almost at the same time, Goliath emerged from behind Queenie. Since she busied herself trying to activate her skills, her weak reflex stopped her from responding fast to Goliath's sudden appearance.
