At first, Zachary was a little surprised as he glanced at the essential spiritual energy in Saul's hand. He hadn't expected him to be so well-prepared. Zachary had just chosen the spiritual soul ability himself and stepped onto the cultivation of the spiritual soul. Therefore, he knew how difficult it was to cultivate the spiritual soul. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to practice the heterodox soul cultivating skill. The most powerful part of that skill was that he could absorb spiritual souls whether they were conscious or unconscious. Generally speaking, one could only cultivate the spiritual soul using the normal method. But it took an exponential amount of time. Therefore, it would be very helpful for the cultivating of the spiritual soul through the assistance of the essential spiritual energy. The effect of such assistance was similar to that of using the heterodox soul cultivating skill, except that it was hard to get the essential spiritual energy, which made it difficult for normal Imperial Level warriors to cultivate spiritual souls.
"This is the first time I've seen the essential spiritual energy. It seems very special. A precious treasure indeed!" Zachary suddenly exclaimed with a smile.
"It's good that you know that. So, you shouldn't be so arrogant in front of me. If you have any sense, you'll just admit defeat and spare yourself the embarrassment. Don't make a fool of yourself by showing your treasure. While I admit the manuals you took out are very rare, they have limitations. Add to that, only warriors who meet the requirements can practice those skills. Yet, the essential spiritual energy is very essential to warriors who want to cultivate spiritual souls. I don't think there's any treasure you can take out that will surpass mine!" Saul sneered, certain that Zachary had already reached his limit.
Upon hearing this, Vivian put on a sardonic smile and said, "Oh, Saul, it's too early to say that. We can't know the result unless Harley shows his treasure. Why should he admit defeat so soon? What if he can bring out one that's better than yours? Then you'll be the one feeling embarrassed."
The deafening clamor came from the audience around the stage. They wanted to see Zachary bring out a treasure that outshone the essential spiritual energy. If he could manage
ared at him, speechless at his audacity.
Then, Jimmy stepped on the stage with a treasure box in his hands. When he opened the box, there was a rare flower that looked like a lamp lying inside.
"This is a rare five-hundred-year-old flower. I know that Vivian likes pill refinement, so I got it especially for her," Zachary went on.
The crowd was buzzing with excitement again.
"Five hundred years of history! It's more advanced than the plant Saul brought over."
"How many rare treasures has he acquired? It's so shocking!"
"I'm dying from envy!"
Vivian's eyes widened comically. She hadn't expected Zachary to prepare so many valuable things for the race, especially since he'd been reluctant to take part in it in the first place.
Of course, Saul was also quite jealous and going a little bit crazy. Seeing the number of rare treasures Zachary had brought made him feel a little nervous.
"Stop wasting our time. Hurry up and compete with me!" Saul couldn't help but shout, his anger seeping through his calm facade.
"Since you want to lose so soon, I'll help you," said Zachary, waving his hand. In a flash, a big yellow crystal appeared in his hand.
As soon as the yellow crystal appeared, a wave of strong essential energy filled the area. Those standing a hundred meters from the stage could feel it so distinctly. They were stupefied at the sight. All it took was one glance to figure out that the yellow crystal was extraordinary. It was an elite treasure at the Imperial Level, the Celestial Energy Crystal!
