Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC's perspective:

After hearing about Michael's return. I told Ernest that I was coming to the common room. Then I have to change clothes again.

10 minutes later,

After getting ready, I walked out of the dorm room.

Soon, I reached the building and walked inside. Warriors are going about their business in the lobby.

But I could hear most of them talking about me. Ignoring them, I started walking upstairs. When I arrived in front of the room.

I showed my I.D.

Creak!

The next second, the door opened.

After walking inside, I quickly walked to the common room. As I got closer, I could hear a loud conversation.

When I reached the room. I saw an interesting scene. Michael is arguing with Ernest and Laverne.

"Zack, you are here," Laverne said in a serious tone.

Hearing that Michael and Ernest turned towards me.

"Hey!"

"Our strongest warrior is here."

"I thought you were busy challenging those weaklings," Michael said in a sarcastic tone.

"Zack!" Ernest called out my name.

Then I walked inside the room.

"Michael, what do you want?" I asked straightforwardly.

Michael's mouth curved into an arc.

"You are as smart as I thought. Unlike these two here," After saying that Michael thought for a moment.

Then he said, "You are challenging everyone else except me. So I would like to fight against you."

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

Ernest and Laverne were also shocked. They used to be close friends. So they both know how strong Michael is actually?

A hint of concern appeared in their eyes.

"What?"

"Are you scared?" Michael said in a provocative tone.

I showed no change in expression. Instead, I answered, "Wait until my duels with them to get over. Then I'll fight against you."

"Zack?" Ernest and Laverne both called out my name at the same time.

Ignoring them, I looked at Michael. I feel a little pressure from him. 'Did he take the next step?' I said in my heart.

If it's true then he is half step-SS Rank Warrior.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..., good. Then I'm going to wait for our duel," Michael said with a laugh. Then he left the room without turning back.

"Why did you agree?"

"I felt some changes in him," Ernest said in a solemn tone.

Hearing that I nodded my head at them. A duel against half-step SS Rank Warrior. This is going to be a real deal.

"Don't worry, I won't get hurt," I said to them.

Laverne let out a long sigh before saying, "He is finally gone."

Then we sat on the sofa. I couldn't help but think of Azure City's Blevins Family. I thought it was a done deal. Looks like Jonathan had ignored them.

Ernest and Laverne then started to ask about today's duel. Then I began to tell what happened.

A few minutes later,

"So there are dual element warriors in the B-grade institution," Ernest said.

"I think they have limited access to the monster zones," Laverne said something important.

A look of understanding dawned on me. Maybe this could be possible.

After speaking to them for a few more minutes. I returned to my room.

...

Eclipse Academy:

The Supreme Elder Cameron is slowly recovering. At the same time, he is getting updates from Dean Edgar.

He is especially interested in the news of Zack Lockwood. It's not that difficult for Edgar to collect information.

They have spies in the Viper City as well. Likewise, other academy's spies are in their city.

This time he was resting alone in the front garden.

Dean Edgar came with the information.

"Supreme Elder!" Edgar greeted politely.

He didn't ask but he figured it out somehow that the Supreme Elder was deeply hurt. An unknown fear appeared in his heart.

Apart from other Supreme elders, no one could hurt him. He doesn't know what is going on.

Noticing the presence of Edgar, Cameron slowly opened his eyes.

"What is it?" He asked.

Edgar returned to reality. He answered, "Elder, we got the latest news of Zack Lockwood."

"Oh!" Cameron raised his eyebrows.

"Tell me what happened?" He asked.

Edgar nodded his head before saying, "Zack Lockwood is challenging the warriors in a lower-grade institution."

Cameron furrowed his eyebrows before asking him to explain from the start.

A few minutes later,

Cameron was surprised. 'Isn't it a waste of time?' He said in his heart.

"Or is it a tactic given by someone?" He muttered to himself. The next second, he recalled getting attacked by strong coercion.

He felt a deep pain in his body by recalling it. He thinks that tactic was approved by that person. There must be something in it.

"Edgar, do the same as well. Find capable warriors in our lower-grade institution. If there is someone capable, they can participate in the year-end conference," Cameron said.

Edgar was not surprised. He obeyed his orders. When he left the spot. Cameron's eyes flickered. He is hesitating whether to ask for help from the main branch.

Because he has some lingering fear. He doesn't know whether that person has left or not. Then he thought of Giant Tower Academy.

"That b@stard probably won't ask for help. The latest incident has something to do with their academy," He said in his heart.

If he wants he can request help whenever he wants. But the problem is he fears that he will lose his life if he does that.

Such conflicting thoughts affect his mind.

....

White Palace:

Maria Frazier is reading the latest news. While reading she couldn't help but think about Zack Lockwood.

"It's been several months since I last saw him."

"What is he doing right now?" She said in her heart.

After coming to the academy, she closed herself from the outside world news. Then she kept focusing on improving her strength.

She has a great responsibility for developing her clan. For that, she even forgot about her friends. Zack Lockwood was from the same hometown and training center.

But she thinks it won't be long before she gets to meet Zack. Because White Palace is also preparing for the year-end conference.

As long as she gets a place in it, she might be able to meet Zack at the end of the year.

...

The following day,

I woke up in the early morning. After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine.

A few minutes later,

I went to take a bath. After getting out of the shower a few minutes later. I changed into an academy uniform.

After getting ready, I texted to Carlos Kent. With his help, I can reach the mountain peak quickly.

10 minutes later,

When I walked out of the dorm. I saw Carlos Kent waiting for me.

"Let's go. We have to return before your afternoon duel," Carlos Kent said with a smile.

The next second, he grabbed my shoulder before appearing in mid-air. Then he started flying towards the mountain peak.

Time flies,

In the dean's office, Dean Rebecca is going through yesterday's reports. When she heard Carlos Kent and Zack Lockwood had gone to the twin mountain peak.

Her eyes flickered. She reviewed yesterday's result. The warriors in the B-grade institution lack training.

She doesn't know why Zack is interested in fighting more duels. At first, she thought he was doing this out of boredom.

But after yesterday, she thinks Zack is interested in having more duels. Now only the Rain Water Faction is left.

She then thought about the monster zone. She is still hesitating whether to allow the warriors to enter the monster zone or not.

An hour later,

We reached the twin mountain peak. Now the place looks different. The destroyed area is replaced with the newly grown vegetation.

Carlos Kent then dropped to the top of the mountain.

After that, he disappeared from the spot. Seeing that I turned around to set up the barrier. I took the artifact and placed it on the ground.

In the next second, an invisible barrier began to cover like a dome shape. When I raised my head to look above.

I see the dark clouds in the sky. But there was no lightning and thunder. I think it will rain in a few minutes.

I found a place to sit down. Then I started to run the lightning scripture. Slowly, I started to absorb the purple essence from the surroundings.

When the energy entered my body. I guided the energy according to the lightning scripture. After circulation, the purple essence enters my dantian space.

Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.

On the other hand, Carlos is investigating the surroundings.

As time passes, the purple essence in my dantian begins to increase.

When the purple essence reached a certain amount. The majestic totem starts to shake. It begins to convert the purple essence into more pure.

A few hours later,

The dantian was filled with purple essence. But there was still some small space left. Seeing that I decided to cultivate the wood scripture.

Time flies,

When a small amount of healing green essence is formed in dantian.
