Treasure Hunting

Chapter 57 Loss At Both Sides

Zachary released the martial energy from the Holy Bone Bracer that he had absorbed when blocking the Sumo Skill of Chandler. He then gathered it in his right fist.

"Crushing Skill!" Zachary threw a punch at Chandler. The punch was so powerful that it sent out a ripple of power similar to that of a warrior at the premium stage of Earth Level.

Chandler's face turned grim when he saw the incoming attack. However, since his energy acupoints had been sealed, he had no strength to resist the attack.

Everyone watching the battle, including Lewis and the stewards, looked surprised. They couldn't understand why Chandler did nothing to avoid Zachary's incoming attack.

Bang!

'It seems that Zachary has a card up his sleeve!' Sara thought to herself. Of all the people who witnessed the battle, she was the only person who stayed calm.

With a thunderous sound, Zachary's punch smashed Chandler's chest with great power.

However, after the punch, a white mist exploded between Zachary and Chandler and was scattered by the wind. Zachary's forward momentum brought him directly into the white mist, which immediately went into his eyes. A burning sensation overcame Zachary. His eyes were unable to see the light anymore, and everything became extremely dark for him.

Chandler never expected that the Nether Powder that he put away in his pocket would explode from Zachary's fierce attack. It turned out that the white mist had saved his life. Actually, he didn't plan to use the Nether Powder, but to avoid being discovered by others, he had to put it away. He had intended to return it to Bruce, but he didn't expect it to be crushed by Zachary.

Zachary, who lost his sight, immediately took a few steps back. He then took a few deep breaths to calm down, and quickly sorted out his thoughts. It was not long when he came to the conclusion that the white mist must be a kind of powder that could make him temporarily blind.

As a result, neither Chandler nor Zachary dared to move an inch forward, for fear that the other would launch a surprise attack.

The development of the situation was totally unexpected by everyone that watched the scene!

"What just happened? Why did Chandler suddenly stop?"

"What's stranger is that now even Zachary stopped."

For a moment, all the disciples of the Welkin Sect stared at each other.

"Master Lewis, what's going on here?" The stewards turned to look at Lewis, confusion written all over on their faces.

"Let's wait and see," Lewis answered.

About half an hour later, Chandler started moving once more. His movements were initially stiff, but he soon gradually returned to his normal state.

"I finally recovered!" Chandler breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zachary with some embarrassment. He knew that Zachary had lost his sight, so it was the best time for him to attack. However, if he won the competition in such a despicable way, his victory would be considered dishonorable and improper.

But when faced with the temptation of being qualified to enter the Celestial College, even a saint might hesitate for a moment. Chandler hardened his heart and decided to make the most painful decision. He then rushed at Zachary.

Even though Zachary was blind, his other senses were still very sensitive. He immediately sensed that Chandler was approaching him. However, now that the power of the Holy Bone Bracer had been used, it was impossible for him to dodge Chandler's attack with his present strength and blind eyes.

Zachary simply stood, without any intention of resisting the fierce attack of Chandler.

When Zachary did not resist Chandler's attack at all, the audience knew that the battle had finally come to an end.

Lewis and the stewards shared the same thought, and they were sure that the winner would be Chandler without any doubt.

The moment Chandler rushed at Zachary, the martial energy suddenly surged out of Zachary's body, which made his double martial speed become triple in an instant.

"The triple martial speed? His martial speed has improved to that amazing level?"

"Am I seeing things? He has triple martial speed?"

All the disciples of the Welkin Sect around the battle ring were petrified with their mouths wide open.

Similarly, the stewards involuntarily stood up in astonishment.

"He has triple martial speed? How can that be possible? How could he break through the limit of martial speed under such a critical situation?" Lewis was so excited that his body trembled.

"How did he manage to do so?" Elva murmured to herself in great disbelief. Her beautiful face that was as cold as ice melted in an instant, and she couldn't help but show a look of surprise and doubt.

Even Sara stood up from her seat. She never expected this situation at all. She had thought that Zachary was just a talented cultivator with great potential, but now it seemed that she hadNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

underestimated him to a large extent.

'If Master Katrina finds out about this, I wonder what she will think of Zachary!' Sara thought to herself. At the same time, a meaningful smile crept up on her face.

The other stewards were also dumbfounded.

'When did this guy possess triple martial speed?' Bruce thought to himself. He stared at Zachary with eyes filled with great hatred and jealousy. It was beyond any doubt that he hated Zachary the most now.

And at the moment of displaying his martial speed, Zachary suddenly threw a seemingly powerless blow at Chandler.

Chandler was surprised at Zachary's sudden increase in martial speed, and when he saw the punch rushing towards him, he subconsciously raised his left arm to resist the attack. However, when the blow from Zachary was about to be blocked, Zachary's fist suddenly stopped, and a strong wave of martial energy rushed forward instead.

It was unexpected by Chandler. Knowing that he couldn't dodge the blow, he used his left arm to blocked Zachary's martial energy while at the same he lifted Zachary up with his right hand and threw him to the slabs violently.

Bang!

Bang!

Two separate sounds of explosion erupted one after the other. When Chandler threw Zachary to the slabs, his left arm, which was hit by Zachary just now, went completely numb. He half knelt on one of the slabs.

The battle shocked the disciples of the Welkin Sect. It seemed that both sides were severely injured.

It was unbelievable that Zachary would be evenly matched with Chandler!

But since Zachary was severely beaten to the slabs by Chandler, he hurt all over and was too weak to move. Elva became very worried of Zachary that she subconsciously bit her lower lip lightly.

Although Chandler was hurt on one of his arms, he was still powerful and could stand up to fight again. Now, it was clear that Zachary had been defeated by Chandler.

Chandler supported himself up and walked towards Zachary.

Hearing that Chandler walked towards him, Zachary intended to get up and go on fighting with all his remaining strength.

"Zachary, I really admire your perseverance!" Chandler suddenly extended his unhurt arm to Zachary and tried to help him to his feet.

Zachary was stunned at first, but then he burst into laughter and reached out his arm to let Chandler help him stand up.

The scene shocked the disciples that watched the two warriors.

"Chandler, it's me who has lost the contest! I throw in the towel..." Zachary admitted defeat. It was because there was no need to fight anymore. Even though he couldn't get the first place, he was sure to be able to get into the Celestial College with his triple martial speed.

"No, it's me who has lost the competition. If you didn't accidentally hit that bag of Nether Powder, I'm sure I would have already lost," Chandler said in a serious tone. Although Zachary was blind, he was able to hurt one of his arms, which was enough to show his amazing skill and courage. It turned out

that he was a man who was willing to risk his own life. Such courage and perseverance made Chandler feel inferior to Zachary.
