Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

Academy:

The Supreme elder of the academy is watching the duel with interest. The old man didn't leave his mansion; rather he is sitting down in the wooden chair and leisurely observing the duel.

Looking at the fierce red flame is canceling out the purple lightning. His mouth curved into an arc. One of the reasons he was confident about Kane's win was this red flame.

Kane Patrick practices a fiery cultivation method. Which is an incomplete fire cultivation method that he had got during his early days. Only warriors with top aptitude can cultivate by using this method.

But he didn't expect this technique to come to his use. Though both the warriors are equally dominating. He believes Kane will take the upper hand soon.

If it happens, then that annoying kid will die. He is also aware of Zack's background. As long as he gets the forbidden potion, he can go into hiding. 

He doesn't worry about the enemies. Though the people from the inner post are formidable. He doesn't think that Zack's teacher would attack the Academy. 

If such a thing occurs, it only does more damage than good to them. So the old man was not worried about those things.

Right now, his mind is set on obtaining the forbidden potion.

Meanwhile,

Dean Rebecca is in her cabin. She is also watching the live duel on the screen. Since it's a life or death duel, even if she wants it's impossible to interfere in it.

Besides, she believes in Zack's strength. Though Kane seems to be pressing as well. But as long as there is a chance, she thinks Zack will take it.

"I hope he doesn't disappoint me," She muttered to herself.

In the duel arena, 

Many eyes are watching the duel. One of them is Jonathan. The fiery red flames rekindled his old memories. 

Now he understands why the supreme elder is confident about this duel. The red flame is trickery. But he believes in the young master's strength. 

Even if there is a dire situation, he won't hesitate to save Zack at the last moment.

Dueling stage, 

"Zack, how long are you going to block my red flames?" Kane Patrick asked in a mocking tone. Earlier, there were some doubts. But after a few clashes, he regained his confidence.

His red flame can withstand the lighting element.

Standing opposite to him, my eyes flickered.

My instinct tells me to use the blood fist. But I'm being cautious. I'm sure that the supreme elder is watching the duel.

So it's not the right time to use it. The next moment, I took my black sword from the storage ring and held it in my hand.

Kane Patrick sneers. He takes out the double-edged sword in response. Then he rushed out to attack Zack.

Clang~

A metallic sound reverberated throughout the area. As our blades collided with each other. After a few clashes, we retreated backward. 

"Kane's speed is bothering me," I said in my heart.

Then I held the sword in both of my hands and started to charge the blade. I continued to pour the purple essence into the sword.

Seeing that Kane covers his blade with red flame as well.

Swish~

Then he rushed out to attack again. 

"Sword Divide"

When I saw Kane carelessly charging against me. I thought this was the chance and discharged the sword beam at him.

The purple beam shot at the opponent in a straight line. 

Kane Patrick was startled. The purple light almost blinded his eyes. Seeing that the attack was aimed at him.

Kane decisively brought the flame sword to block.

In the blink of an eye, the purple beam lands a blow.

Bang!

A deafening sound reverberated through the area. Smoke quickly covers the platform once again.

"Lightning Phantom Technique"

In the blink of an eye, the purple arcs covered my legs and I rushed out to continue the attack. I don't want to give him any time. 

I disappeared into the smoke. I saw Kane's forearm was charred. He managed to block the front attack. But leftover lightning still caused injury to his forearms.

When I got closer. Kane's pupil enlarged in anger. He even forgot about the painful forearm injury. He covers the sword blade in red flame to attack again.

"Lightning Wheel" 

A purple wheel once again appeared around me with a thunderous sound. Kane's blade comes into contact with the wheel once again.

Bang!

Explosion occurs. The lightning wheel explodes right under the face of Kane Patrick.

Pfff~

The lightning power tore through the body. Kane's forearm dyed red. As the lightning power manages to pass through making the injury even more worse. 

Argh~

Kane let out a muffled grunt in anger before wiping the blood from his mouth. He realized that Zack was targeting the injury. 

Ang serious injury may cause him to lose in close combat. 

Cheer~

When the dust settles down. Everything was clear on the screen. The audience let out a roaring cheer once again.

Everyone can see that Kane Patrick is bleeding.

In the spectator area,

Franklin Madden's expression darkened. He saw how Kane had blindly rushed forward to attack. Now he got the taste of his own foolish mistake.

Everything was going fine. But now Kane is showing his lack of judgment. Franklin was worried inside. 

He wants to impress the supreme elder. But everything depends on this duel. 

"Hey, Kane is suffering finally," Laverne said with a smile.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..."

"I told you. Hardly anyone can beat him in the Elite stage," Ernest added his words in support as well. 

When the duel started. Both of them had some concern. Because the red flame also surprised them. They don't have much knowledge about the red flame.

But they can see Zack's lightning element is weakening in front of the flame. Yet now, they see some hope. 

In the dueling stage, 

Kane's eyes reddened in anger. He took back his double-edged sword. Then he started to spread the red flame around the platform.

Swish~

In a blink of an eye, the red flames covered the platform. 

"This!" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. The red flames are extremely hot. The burning sensation is high as well. 

I saw Kane Patrick grinning ear to ear. But he doesn't know I'm a body cultivator as well. The flames won't injure me. 

"Lightning Finger Technique"

I released the 2nd stage of the lightning technique from the finger. The lightning beam shot at Kane at breakneck speed.

In the blink of an eye,

The purple beam tears through the frame and hits the target.

Boom~

Kane retreats to the edge of the platform because of the collision. His face looked completely distorted. 

He thought that flames would pose a threat to Zack. But Zack is standing in the middle of the flames like nothing has happened. 

On the other hand, he is running out of the fire essence. If this goes on, he will soon run out of the oil.

Swish~

The next second, he cancels the flame attack. The red flames that covered the platform disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Gasp~

The spectators exclaimed in surprise again.

They don't know why Kane removed the flame. Everyone can see that the red flame's temperature is not something an ordinary warrior could withstand.

"Strange!" 

"How did he do it?" Franklin asked himself. He is clear about the hot temperature of the red flames. But he saw how Zack showed no pain on his face.

"Is it another trick or what?" Kane muttered. He can tell that Zack came with the preparation. 

Meanwhile,

Dean Rebecca revealed a relaxed smile on her face. She saw Kane Patrick was pushed to the passive mode. 

Now he is showing signs of weakness. Zack may use this opportunity to kill him.

On the other hand, the supreme elder squinted his eyes. The smile on his face disappeared. 

"What is he doing?" the old man asked himself. Kane is showing a disappointing performance now. He thought that the earlier mistake was a fluke. 

But now he thinks Kane is being overconfident. 

"If that kid disappoints me, then I don't have any other choice but to step forward," A ruthless glint flashes in the old man's eyes.

In the dueling stage, 

Kane is charging again to punch Zack. At this moment, he forgot about the tactics and all. Now he wants to plummet Zack.

On the other hand, my eyes flickered. Doesn't matter how many times Kane wants to use his fist. I will use the same lightning technique again.

"Lightning wheel"

The purple lightning wheel appears once again. But Kane seems to have lost his mind. He fiercely slammed his fist into the lightning wheel. 

Bang~

The lightning wheel explodes. The lightning energy once again starts to tear through Kane's body. 

Argh~

Kane let out a scream in pain. As the bones are visible in the forearms. The aftermath sent his body flying and crashed onto the edge of the platform.

Gasp~

The spectators gasped in surprise. Kane's miserable condition became clear to everyone.

On the other hand, I looked inside Dantian. More than half of the purple essence was gone. I can't waste the essence of the technique anymore.
