Chapter 403 The Rare Level (2/2)

”Of course not,” Queenie answered proudly.

Rubbing his chin, Zachary went on, ”With your current level, though, you're still a bit too weak to compete with other weapon refiners in the King Level contest. You will have to reach the Heaven Level, at least.”

”Th

l with that. If I don't actually launch an attack, no one will notice,” said Zachary. His martial energy had changed a lot, so once he attacked, any observers could easily discern his real strength.

”True, you don't need to make a move in the weapon refining contest. But you will have to fight in the strength contest,” Pollard pointed out, shaking his head.

”That won't be as difficult as you might think,” Zachary answered with his trademark smile.

”Well, if you're so confident of success, of course I'll help you,” Pollard said in a determined tone.

While they were still talking, a slender figure walked into the dormitory. She was surprised to see the two of them chatting happily with each other.

”Hi, Polly!” said Pollard, catching sight of her. ”Come here. Let me introduce my good friend to you.”

”Good friend?” Polly repeated dubiously. She looked at Zachary, who was still smiling fondly, and wondered where and when he'd gotten to know her brother. Was it in the Dark Prison, perhaps? That wasn't what surprised her the most, though.

Pollard had always thought highly of himself, and had been obsessed with martial arts even as a child. Although he was loyal to his friends, he didn't actually have many of them, nor was he very good at being a decent friend himself. Hearing him talk so fondly about Zachary, then, was more than a little perplexing.
