Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

After crossing the Tier-7 city, we moved faster toward the destination. The giant eagle monster doesn't seem to be exhausted at all.

But I believe Jonathan would stop it somewhere.

Several hours later,

As I expected, the giant eagle monster landed on land in the middle of nowhere. When I raise my head to look around, I see the endless vast open plains.

My eyes lit up in surprise. Such a place is rare to see where there are no monsters and vegetation.

Then I see a giant eagle lowering its body to take some rest. Suddenly Jonathan turned around and looked at me.

"We will take some rest here. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can ask me," Jonathan said.

Before I could respond, I saw him setting up a table and chair. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. To think he carried this with him. I don't know what to say for a moment.

But it's better than sitting on the ground. I walked forward and sat opposite him. Right now, I know about Odyssey Monster Zone. And what are the dangers ahead?

So our conversation has been fruitful. So what should I ask now? Suddenly a strange glint flashed in my eyes. It was already pre-planned that I would join the Saw Scale Viper Academy.

But what about other academies? I'm curious about other academies like which one is stronger.

Then looking at Jonathan, I asked, "Mr. Jonathan, can you tell me about the academies?"

Jonathan's eyes flickered with a slight glint. Then he began to tell the names of the academies and their strengths and weaknesses.

One hour later,

Jonathan stopped talking and asked, "Do you understand now?"

I nodded my head in response.

The situation between the academies was worse than I thought. There is no real friendship between them except for severe competition.

The Saw Scale Viper Academy is typically the training academy of the Army Federation. Warriors who passed out from this academy directly joined the Army Federation.

My future path will be the same. The academy teaches various battle-related techniques and combat training.

And when it comes to White Palace, this academy specifically recruits female warriors. Because their inheritance is suitable for the female warriors to cultivate. So it's a waste of time for male warriors to join the White Palace.

The Red Moon Tower is similar to the Saw Scale Viper Academy. They too specifically focus on combat training.

But unlike the army, they have their secret inheritance to pass on. And the students of the Red Tower are said to be bloodthirsty due to their strange cultivation techniques.

The Eclipse Academy is considered to be a normal academy. Where any warrior can join and graduate from the academy. There is no specific condition to fulfill.

The Silver Clouds Academy sounds strange. It's the academy jointly run by a few powerful clans and families. To join this academy, first, the warriors have to join one of the families.

This academy is not good. Warriors will lose their rights if they join this academy. But some people don't care. To reach higher heights they are ready to sacrifice everything.

Finally the Giant Tower, like the name sounds. They have a special inheritance. Not anyone can practice. So of all these academies, the Giant Tower has a lower number of warriors.

After gaining some clarity, I sighed inwardly. Even the giant tower got a lower number of students compared to other academies. I won't underestimate them.
Because of their inheritance. Each one of them is a strong warrior. Where in the Saw Scale Viper Academy. There are four institutions ranging from A to D.

Only the A & B institutions got strong warriors comparable to other academies. The rest of the institution functions based on relations and money.

After putting these unnecessary thoughts aside, I decided to cultivate them for a while.

We resumed our journey a few hours later.

Days passed in a blink of an eye,

The Giant Eagle reached the destination three days later.

"Odyssey Monster Zone," I mumbled under my breath. A gigantic wall came into view. Damn! The wall's height is twice the size of Tier-7 City's wall.

Then I see several buildings outside of the monster zone. They appeared to be brand new. I also see many street shops built outside.

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. They are resting places for the seed candidate and their forces. A look of understanding dawned upon me.

Then Jonathan directed the giant eagle in a different direction. "Hmmm," I furrowed my eyebrows in surprise. Where are we going? But I didn't ask him about it.

There must be a reason behind it.

The giant eagle flies over several buildings. Slowly, the giant eagle is flying away from the monster zone. Soon I realized something. There must be a place for us to stay.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have directed the monster away from the monster zone.

Screech!

When the bird got closer to the destination. I hear several bird-screeching sounds. Looking around, I see many warriors coming in using similar bird monsters.

Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. Some truly big forces have a similar mode of transport. Especially for this competition, everyone will gather.

Swish!

The giant Eagle finally slows down the speed. Feeling that I looked ahead, and I saw a massive mansion ahead of us. And there is no adjacent building beside it.

The giant eagle lands on the ground. Then we slowly stepped out. I couldn't help but look at Jonathan for an answer.

"It's the mansion of Saw Scale Viper Academy," Jonathan calmly replied.

"What?" I uttered in surprise. Isn't it too soon to meet these people? Especially before the competition.

Jonathan saw through his thoughts. He chuckled and said," Right now, there is no one except one person staying in the mansion."

"Could it be?" My eyes lit up with surprise. Jonathan is smiling mysteriously. I have a vague feeling in my heart.

Suppressing our curiosity, we walked towards the gate. After entering inside, I see a huge spacious hall.

Before I could appreciate the architecture, I saw someone walking downstairs.

A warrior wearing a black military uniform is slowly stepping downwards while looking at me. My pupils constrict the next second.

I feel everything stopped around me. The blood element in my body is showing some response. Threat? A cold sweat appeared on my forehead.

I felt like several days passed in an instant. What is this power? Before I could realize it, the man walked in front of us.

Everything happens in a blink of an eye,

For a second, I forgot that I'm an Elite warrior. Thinking about strangers can make me feel powerless. Then what is the reality of this person?

Various questions appeared in my heart.

But the next scene made me even more disbelieving.

Jonathan stepped forward and bowed to the stranger.

"Master," Jonathan uttered.

The words fell like a thunderclap in my ears.

"Teacher," I looked at the person in front of me in disbelief.

Earlier, I had vaguely guessed it. But I never thought it would come true. But soon, I recovered myself and gave a bow as well.

The man wearing a military uniform is none other than Lowell McCain.

Looking at them, he replied," At ease."

Hearing that both of us recovered to our usual position.

A quick glint flashed in Lowell's eyes. He already saw through Zack's realm. To cultivate up to the Elite level in this barren land is a huge feat.

"Zack Lockwood"

"You kid looks like I underestimated your cultivation talent again," Lowell said with a smile.

Hearing that, I hurriedly explained about the mutated forest.

A few minutes later,

Lowell's eyes flickered with a strange glint. "Hmmm, it's normal for this land to contain some ruins," He uttered. While he recalled various histories of this land in his mind.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Then he recovered his thoughts and said, "Okay, you guys take some rest. We will chat later." Saying that he disappears from the spot.

The next second, he is nowhere to see.

Powerful! My heart starts to beat faster.

Jonathan observed Zack's reaction and said, "Master is currently in disguise. So be careful not to expose him."

Hearing that, my heart set off storms. What is the reason behind this? I didn't dare to ask. But I'm glad that I met my teacher. He seems to be a man of few words.

But I'll ask him about the wider world. Then Jonathan guided me towards the room. After entering inside, I started to freshen up.

On the other hand, Jonathan disappeared from the spot and moved toward the study room.

Creak

After opening the door, he entered inside.

"You came," Lowell said with an indifferent attitude.

"Get me details about that mysterious forest," He added further.

Hearing that, Jonathan nodded and retreated backward.

When Jonathan left the room, Lowell glanced at the reports. The six academies are deeply rotten to the core. But for Zack's development, he felt the Saw Scale Viper Academy would be suitable.

Surprisingly, this kid has an elite-level cultivation base. Which brought him a pleasant surprise. Now he is pondering whether to take him back with him or not.
