Chapter 656 The Final Victory

Jaxon had been worried about the situation until he saw the Thunder Dragon Horse's strength soar. Sweat trickled down his temple and then his cheeks as he breathed a sigh of relief. He found it undeniably impressive how Zachary went in and handled the situation, as if he anticipated what would happen and prepared for every possible outcome. Zachary had used a crown to increase his odds in what anyone else would have dismissed as a hopeless, disadvantageous situation.

"This guy actually has a trump card. He doesn't disappoint me." Vivian stared at the Thunder Dragon Horse with a mixture of awe and relief. After all, she hoped Zachary would win. If she must marry a warrior amongst the candidates, he would be at least better than the rest.

Meanwhile, Daniel narrowed his eyes as he breathed a little heavily, trying to reassess the conditions. He was so sure Zachary no longer had a winning chance, but that trump card made him realize his gravely premature underestimations. Zachary had a lot to be proud of—for one, he now had undoubtedly captured Daniel's full attention. In fact, he now looked at him, wondering if he could acquire him as his warrior, especially given this recent showing of impressive abilities.

The warrior in white didn't expect that the Thunder Dragon Horse had gathered enough strength to the point that it surpassed his Thunder Leopard. Seemingly losing his mind from being cornered, he nevertheless made his leopard continue attacking in strikes. Even though he didn't know the other creature's limits, the one sure thing he would never do was to give it a fighting chance, or else all his previous efforts would be in vain.

However, the Thunder Dragon Horse's sudden change in momentum caused the Thunder Leopard to cower in fear, its ferocity replaced with hesitation. Nevertheless, the leopard once again started to approach. The horse didn't release its shied this time. Instead, it bolted forward, speeding up in an instant as its whole body turned into a beam of lightning. The horse, however, dodged the attack as if it were nothing. At the same time, it opened its mouth, where a ball of thunderous light shot through and immediately struck the leopard before it could react.

Caught off guar

the Thunder Dragon Horse sincerely.

As a response, it stood proud and soared into the sky, much like a beast emperor that had just ascended to the throne. Due its use of the Crown of Thunder, however, its body was close to utter exhaustion.

Seeing this, Zachary immediately took the Thunder Dragon Horse back into the system to have a well-deserved rest.

Subsequently, the warrior in white hurried to his Thunder Leopard, face contorted with gloom and concern. Upon examining the wound his beast had sustained, he declared that he was going to take it back to his Virtual Air Space. As he did so, he bowed to Daniel and left without a word.

Daniel looked cold. There had been a time when he didn't know much about Zachary's abilities, and as a result, undermined his strength. After seeing him compete twice now, though, he understood why Zachary had the reputation. He certainly had a knock for surprising everyone at the most critical point. No wonder Jaxon tried so hard to recruit him from the Shura College into the Xiao Clan. He had limitless potential.

"Harley, you always surprise us with your performances!" Jaxon claimed before bursting into hearty laughter. He did not even try to hide his delight with Zachary defeating Daniel's man.

"I'm flattered." Zachary put one hand over another on his chest and bowed slightly.

And yet, everyone else was still in disbelief, unable to think of anything but the unbelievable strength that the Thunder Dragon Horse displayed.
