Zachary knew all about this type of beast essential power, for he had once owned a very rare treasure of King Level, which could significantly increase the strength of a beast by three grades. Therefore, when he saw Evan take out the treasure, his eyes gleamed with delight.
"A treasure that can increase a beast's strength by two grades?" Linda barely glanced at the treasure, for she was not interested. A treasure of King Level no longer held any attraction to a powerful beast tamer of her caliber.
"What do you think? How about we fight a match between us, Linda? Just you and me." Evan's eyes gleamed expectantly.
"I'm not interested." Linda snorted dismissively. However, as she was about to leave, Zachary suddenly said to Evan, "Linda isn't really interested, but I am."
"You?" Hearing this, Evan glanced at Zachary as he clearly had not taken him seriously at all.
Linda was puzzled as to why Zachary wanted to duel against Evan. But soon she understood. She realized that Zachary, in fact, wanted Evan's treasure. Although she was beyond wasting time on Evan, she knew that Zachary had a scarce treasure beast of King Level. If he were to win this treasure, he could increase the strength of his treasure beast by two grades.
Understanding this to be his motivation, Linda said to Evan, "My disciple wants to compete against you. You may fight him! However, should you lose, you must relinquish this treasure to him."
"Well..." Evan hesitated after hearing what Linda said. If by some happenstance he lost, he did not want to lose his treasure to Zachary. But Linda had already said so. If he refused, there would be no chance for him to woo her in the future.
"I'm not unwilling to fight him. But I don't think his treasure beast is a match for my Golden Fire Eagle. There's no need for a fight then." Evan glared at Zachary, and it was obvious that he did not want to give his treasure to him.
"In fact, the treasure beast your Golden Fire Eagle has just defeated is his," Linda added, her beautiful eyes becoming slits.
"He owns that Blazing Roc?" Evan frowned in surprise. Zachary was just a disciple
than Blazing Roc.
"Why don't you choose the Hundred-Treasure Beast to fight Evan's Golden Fire Eagle? You may have stood a chance to win if you did that!" Linda didn't understand why Zachary had chosen the Thunder Dragon Horse either.
"Don't underestimate it!" Zachary beamed with confidence.
Having heard this, Linda couldn't help but study the Thunder Dragon Horse. Although she had seen it yesterday, she had been too busy with Zachary at that time and did not pay any heed to the beast. When she looked at the Thunder Dragon Horse now, she realized that the aura of the beast was behaving strangely. Soon, she noticed the crown on the beast's head.
"What's that on your treasure beast's head?" Linda asked intently.
"It's merely a trinket," Zachary answered perfunctorily. Of course, he would not confide in Linda that it was a very rare accessory.
"You're kidding me." It was not easy to pull the wool over Linda's eyes.
"You'll see later." Zachary deliberately prolonged her suspense.
Linda rolled her eyes at Zachary in frustration.
At this moment, the Golden Fire Eagle had already begun hovering in the air, staring down at the Thunder Dragon Horse on the ground. Suddenly, it swooped down, with a tremendous velocity, heading straight to the Thunder Dragon Horse. Meanwhile, flames sprang up from its wings, becoming like a gigantic roaring dragon, shooting straight towards its opponent.
