Chapter 59 The Beauty Sent A Message

When she saw the Blazing Egg in Zachary's hand, Sara could not help but marvel. She did not want toshow it, but the surprise on her eyes could not be hidden.

"Ahem." Zachary cleared his throat to get the lady's attention back to him rather than the egg. "Have Iconvinced you now, Master Beauty?"

Sara immediately recovered from her surprise and replied, "Very well. I'll keep my word and give youan extra reward." She took out a booklet. "This Ghost Palm is a martial art at the premium stage ofHeaven Level. There are three moves in total. Learn and master all those three and even an opponentwhose cultivation is one or two levels higher than yours will fall under your feet," she stated.

Murmurs started to arise in the crowd. Everyone was shifting uncomfortably in their seat, surprised witheverything that transpired before them.

The martial arts in the Supernal Continent were divided into three stages: primary stage, mediumstage, and premium stage. In terms of power, most of the time, the martial art at the premium stagewere better than the ones at the other stages. But because of other factors influencing a battle, awarrior using martial arts at the primary stage might be able to defeat one using martial arts at thepremium stage.

Because of its simplicity, the martial arts at the primary stage were the most used and taught in theSupernal Continent. Aside from being easy to learn and master, they also required less martial energycompared to those at the other stages. For example, the martial energy used to perform three moves ofmartial arts at the primary stage would be equivalent to the energy used to execute just one move of amartial art at the premium stage. If one decided to attack their opponent with a move from a martial artat the premium stage and the opponent successfully defended himself, it would put the attacker to adisadvantage since he had lost a lot of martial energy and was unable to attack again. This was why

the martial arts at the primary stage were widely used. Although they were less powerful, they requiredless martial energy and allowed more flexibility during battles.

With this factor at hand, no martial art could be considered the most powerful in the SupernalContinent, even if it was one at the premium stage.

But if someone could learn and master martial arts at the premium stage, then it might be able to turnthe tables at critical moments.

So when Sara offered to give Zachary a martial art at the premium stage of Heaven Level, the otherdisciples were all green with envy. Even Bruce had a tight expression on his face.

"Hmm. Sounds interesting," Zachary replied. "If that's the case, then let me accept this reward fromyou."

Satisfied with the reply she got, Sara carefully handed the Blazing Egg and the manual on Ghost Palmto Zachary. "There is one more thing," she said. "I know you already have triple martial speed, but Ithink you are still far behind the disciples in Celestial College. Let me help and give you some importanttips then. Come with me."

This got the crowd in chaos, more murmurs and whispers arising among them.

"If you say so, then I'll come with you," Zachary simply replied. He knew that there was a reason whySara had offered to personally guide him. So without further questions, he went away with her.

"Master Lewis, it seems that Master Sara thinks highly of Zachary!"

Herman said, not even bothering to hide the jealousy in his voice.

"Perhaps. Things have really turned out to be unexpected," Lewis replied. "Zachary is one of a kind,being one of the few who have attained triple martial speed. He can definitely reach the Heaven Level

in no time. His talent can even compare to Elsa's." There was a joyful look on his face. Unlike theothers, he was pleased with the results he witnessed.

The stewards exchanged anxious looks with one another. They could not believe that Zachary, whowas just a nameless disciple a few months ago, was able to accomplish such a great act before them.Aside from this, they were all jealous that he could earn such recognition from Sara.

On the other hand, Zachary and Sara quietly walked together to the remote woodland at the back sideof the Welkin Sect.

"Hey, Master Beauty. Don't you think this place is far enough from everyone?" Zachary saiddeliberately.

Sara finally came into a halt. With arms crossed, she quietly turned around and faced him.

"Tell me, what are your real intentions? I know you would not bother to ask me to come with you all theway here just to give me some tips. So what's the reason?" Zachary said bluntly. He had always beenaware of Sara's interest on him. With the woman giving him the Ghost Palm, a martial art at thepremium stage of Heaven Level, he knew there was something suspicious going on.

"You're smart, but do you know that clever people can sometimes get themselves killed?" Sara repliedcoldly.

"Well, I honestly think it would be a pleasure to lose my life to you," Zachary replied coolly. There wasno hint of fear in his voice.

"Enough of this nonsense. I did ask you to come with me for another reason," she replied, trying tosound void of emotions.

Zachary then became serious and focused on everything Sara had to tell.

"Master Katrina sent me to deliver you a message. She asked you to take good care of the treasure,and she will reward you for that. And you're dead once you lose the treasure," Sara simply revealed.

"Master Katrina?" Zachary exclaimed in a confused tone. "I don't know this Master Katrina. Young orold? Straight or homosexual?" He could not believe what she said. Why would this Master Katrina takeinterest on him? It didn't make sense.

Sara rolled her eyes at his response. "And here I thought you were smart." She was clearly annoyed atZachary's ignorance. If not for he had Katrina's treasure, she would have already strangled the man forhis stupidity.

"Oh wait," Zachary said once realization hit him. "Is she the beautiful woman I met in that cave?"Recalling what happened in the cave, he quickly figured out whom Sara was talking about.

"Huh. Well, I'm glad that you remember," she replied.

"So she was really the one who sent you? Is she also from the Celestial College?" Zachary asked inreturn.

"There are some things that you don't need to know," Sara replied. Her tone was back to being serious."Just take care of the treasure she has entrusted you with, and make sure that no one else knows youhave it with you. On second thought, who would even imagine that a loser like you carries such animportant treasure with him?"

"Hey!" Zachary protested. "I'm not a loser! Go on and tell that beautiful lady that I will be coming toCelestial College very soon. She just has to wait patiently and in no time, she will see how my charmswill get into her."

"Pffft. You? You're not even close to being worthy to hold her shoes," Sara replied, continuing herinsult.

"Ahh. Good for me I don't have such fetish. Why would I even want to carry her shoes? If it's up to me,I'll go take off her clothes right away," Zachary replied arrogantly.

Sara looked at him with wide eyes, absolutely disgusted with his scandalous behavior. If she hadn'tknown him, she would think she was talking to a psychopath.

Zachary let out a playful chuckle. "Is that everything that she wanted to tell me? Didn't she say that shemissed me and wanted me to see me as soon as possible?" he continued to ask in a playful manner.

"Whatever! I am done talking with you!" Sara replied irritably. "Just remember everything I say." "TheBlazing Egg and the manual were both from Master Katrina. Treat them as payment for your silence."Sara started to walk away from Zachary. "Goodbye. I'm heading back to Celestial College now,"

'Huh. I did not expect that she was sent by that beautiful woman in the cave. I guess she really ispowerful to have that kind of authority over Sara, ' Zachary thought to himself. He turned seriousimmediately after Sara's departure. The playfulness and smile on his face were all gone. If the beautifulwoman sent Sara just to tell him to take good care of the marriage contract, then it must be reallyserious and important. She definitely would not go through all that trouble just to make sure he wouldkeep it as a secret if she was not concerned and worried. She also clearly wanted to avoid others fromsuspecting.

"I guess I really have to be careful this time." With that, Zachary quietly turned back from the woodlandand left.
