Ancient Tears BloodLine

Dean Rebecca quickly learned about the Gravity Facility incident. She wasn't surprised by Tyler Lane's challenge. The chain reactions were bound to happen. Since Zack had defeated the Giant Tower Warriors.

Tyler was the first one to end his retreat. Soon others will follow the same trend. But that doesn't mean she would force Zack to accept the challenge. It's up to him whether he wants to accept the challenge or not.

...

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

I did my morning routine as usual. But for cultivation, I planned to go to the small ruin. That place is more suitable for body cultivation than here.

So I begin to get ready. I wore a fresh uniform after taking a bath. Then checking myself in the mirror. I feel it's good to go.

After closing the room, I left the dorm building. When I entered the dining hall. I overheard some conversation about me. This has become a daily habit of mine.

People would discuss recent events while having their food. But this time I knitted my eyebrows.

I couldn't help but think about yesterday's awkward moments. A group of people blocked my path on the last day. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

I then walked up to the food counter to receive the food plate. After getting the food, I found a good spot to sit down.

"Tyler Lane," My eyes lit up with surprise. Listening to people's conversations, this specific name was repeated multiple times. I decided to check it after having the food.

Meanwhile, the female staff behind the food counter recognized Zack's face. Because Zack used to come at this time.

The female staff looked down at Zack's face. She hesitated to talk. She and Zack had no previous conversation.

But this time she feels she has an opportunity to strike up a conversation with him. When she wants to go there. She spotted the flame faction members walking by.

On one hand, the flame faction members easily found Zack. Everyone knows about Zack's morning routine. Because someone had posted a few pics of Zack eating food.

So it's normal for everyone to know his whereabouts.

On the other hand, I saw a few people coming in my direction. Feeling the fire aura from their body, my mouth twitched.

Ignoring their gazes, I ate the vegetable salad. Soon four people walked up to my table and looked down at me.

"Sigh,"

I let out a sigh before putting the spoon on the plate.

I asked, "What do you guys want?"

A young man with a short nose and brown hair stood cross-armed and answered, "Are you going to accept the challenge or not?"

His voice was not loud but it reached everyone's ears. The female staff behind the food counter looked worried.

At the same time, the warriors who were having their food also got up from their seats. The appearance of flame faction members didn't surprise them.

"Challenge?" I furrowed my eyebrows. What again?

The young man with a short nose was startled. He saw Zack's blank face and looked toward his members with confusion.

Then he said, "Tyler Lane wants to challenge you. So we came to confirm the date."

"Tyler Lane again?" My mouth twitched. No wonder people discussed it enthusiastically. From their tone, it seems that Tyler Lane is from the flame faction.

Then ignoring their gazes, I decided to access the information online. After a few seconds, I see many trending topics in the name of Tyler Lane.

I clicked the first one. A bloodied image of me walking out of the gravity room was captured. Seeing that a gloomy look appeared on my face.

Then there was the image of the average person. But when I read the name a look of understanding dawned upon me. I didn't see him yesterday. Maybe the picture was captured after I left.

Then I began to go through the post. After a few minutes, I figured out the ins and out of this matter. Tyler Lane who is currently ranked in 5th position wants to challenge me. He is a Peak Elite Warrior- Fire Elemental Warrior.

I knew defeating Giant Tower Warrior would attract a lot of eyebrows. And this person happens to be the 1st one. What to do?

Should I challenge him or not? If I do that then there would be no return. Thereafter I have to face endless challenges.

It feels like deja vu. I remember fighting against the top warriors of Hansen Institute back home. That time it was about selecting the seed candidate.

But here the numbers of warriors were high. They won't let me cultivate in peace. When my thoughts returned to reality. I see multiple gazes on me.

At this moment, I made a firm decision. The challenge is good. If I use the opportunity well, then I can gain good experience. It would be even better than Star Tower Trials.

I raised my head and looked toward everyone.

"I will face him one week later," I replied.

Gasp!

The surrounding people let out a small gasp. The flame faction members were disappointed by the date. But it's better than nothing. At least Zack has accepted the duel.

Then without making any noise, they retreated.

Others also sat down and continued to eat. Seeing that, I sneered inside. At least these people won't bother me for one week.

In the meantime, I should increase the finger technique to stage 2. In stage 2, the lightning attack would be more powerful compared to stage 1.

Then I resumed eating. After having food, I put the plate on the clean and walked back to the teleportation point.

The Gravity chamber training turned out to be useful. Combined with the cultivation of body strength inside the small ruin will further speed up the progress.

If this goes on, I will reach the Peak Elite in body strength sooner.

On the way, while walking. I thought about other special element warriors. Apart from Michael, Ernest, and Laverne. I have yet to meet other people.

I think they are in a retreat like Tyler Lane. The Flame Faction members were fortunate they could do the cultivation in the blessed land. And here I'm longing for lightning-blessed land.

Shirley after, I reached the teleportation tower. After walking inside, I reached the platform and stepped forward, and stood in the middle.

Then I selected the server of the small ruins. After selection, the platform lit up with blue lights. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot and appeared inside the small ruin.

Feeling the familiar vibes around me. I quickly adjusted my mood.

"Phew," I took a deep breath before starting walking toward the middle area.

Soon, I quickly arrived at the pile of bones. I found an empty spot to sit cross-legged.

Then I took out class-3 monster cores and held them in both of my palms. Then I started to run the blood element method.

Right after the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker.

Swish!

As usual, the malicious aura rushed toward me. I slowly began to absorb the malicious aura and monster core energies as well.

When the energy entered my body. I quickly guided the energies according to the blood element method.

Right after, a red light appears above my blood. The red light then quickly absorbed the monster's core energies and converted them into white energies.

The converted white energies drilled into my bones. This time I managed to endure the pain quickly. At the same time, the malicious aura was swallowed up by the blood light.

The two processes continued to happen at the same time.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

After two hours of practice, I opened my eyes. Then I quickly checked my skeleton. The red-marked area of my bones was further spread. It almost covered up the entire leg.

Seeing the progression a look of bewilderment appeared on my face.

Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts. After checking everything was fine. I got up from the ground and decided to leave.

At first, I thought about trying to cultivate healing techniques. But the malicious aura here was too strong. This is not an ideal place to cultivate the healing technique.

Then using the teleportation point, I returned to the tower.

Swish!

After appearing on the platform. I didn't leave. Rather, I selected a new monster zone to enter. After selecting the several, I waited for the teleportation point to activate.

Shortly after, the platform lit up with blue lights and I disappeared from the spot.

Swish!

This time the monster zone is a new one. I appeared in the swamp area. Feeling the humid and wet atmosphere, I spread my consciousness around me.

Seeing that no monster was around me. I took some time to adjust. "Where do I start?" I mumbled under my breath.

Then I opened the map and started to go through it. The monster zone is smaller in size. And the core area appears to be a huge lake. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. After glancing around, I moved toward the core area.
