"You two can decide who speaks first. Don't worry, I'm all ears." Zachary shrugged and cracked a smile.

"Forget it. It's no big deal. You guys just go ahead," Joan said after some hesitation. She then nodded at Polly and went straight away.

"How did you know her?" Polly asked with a perplexed expression on her face.

"It's because of your brother," Zachary grumbled with a wry smile.

"My brother?" Polly became more confused.

"Let's stop discussing that now. What did you want to ask me?" Zachary inquired, changing the topic.

"Oh, I was wondering whether the weapon refining aid you used just now is the Ghostly Fire Furnace," Polly responded. She breathed deeply and pushed forward. The Ghostly Fire Furnace that Zachary used was very familiar to her, but she couldn't think of its name for a while. After the competition was over, she remembered seeing the illustration of the Ghostly Fire Furnace in the Book of Weapons at home. She likewise knew that it was once one of the three major treasures of her clan, so she wanted to confirm it with Zachary.

Needless to say, if she went to her father and brother first, maybe she wouldn't have to ask Zachary.

Zachary narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He never expected that Polly knew about the Ghostly Fire Furnace. All the while, he believed that no one would know about the treasure from Anne. Clearly, he would never admit the truth. So he explained with a smile, "No, it's just a regular furnace and not the Ghostly Fire Furnace."

"But the furnace is obviously a weapon refining aid at the Imperial Level." Polly could tell that Zachary was lying.

"Even if it's at the Imperial Level, it's definitely not the Ghostly Fire Furnace like you said," Zachary denied with certainty.

"Really? I guess so even though they look exactly the same. You know, the Ghostly Fire Furnace was one of the three treasures of our clan. It was gone for a long time, but it would be impossible for you to get a chance to get it," Polly agreed after a moment's hesitation.

'One of the three treasures of the Qiu Clan?' Zachary thought to himself. 'It tu

Hearing Zachary mention the Qiu Clan, Anne stopped what she was doing. Her hand holding the honey bottle trembled, but she shortly recovered and calmed herself down.

"If you don't have anything else to say, you can go and cultivate yourself," Anne ordered Zachary to leave.

"Okay," Zachary answered, looking at Anne's back with suspicion. He guessed that the girl must have something to do with the Qiu Clan, or she wouldn't have owned their precious treasure. But he didn't know what had happened between them.

Just after Zachary left, Anne abruptly spun around, and her delicate face showed a trace of sadness. "How time flies! Hundreds of years already passed by in a flash. Things have changed considerably in the Qiu Clan!"

Three days of rest remained before the third final round. The Shura College granted its disciples a vacation, so many of them went to the Zenith City to have fun, like caged birds that were just released from captivity.

Originally, Zachary wanted to utilize his three days to continue learning the self-made weapons. But he was dragged to the Zenith City by Queenie and Rebecca. They were also on holiday like all the disciples of the Shura College.

It was a massive pleasure for him to go shopping with two lovely girls because he would draw covetous stares from other guys. But generally, these two ladies couldn't restrain themselves when they were shopping.
