Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

The following day,

I woke up pretty late. Neither Jonathan nor the teacher neither of them disturbed me. After getting ready, I left the room to see the teacher.

I was supposed to discuss this on his last day. But I slept without realizing it. Shaking my head, I quickly walked into the hall.

Jonathan is already waiting for me. "You are here," Jonathan said.

Hearing that I nodded.

Jonathan smiled and said, "Let's go to the master's study room."

Then we quickly arrived in front of a room.

Creak

The door opens. Jonathan signaled me to enter inside. "This?" I furrowed my eyebrows. Then I walked into the room.

It's a wide spacious study room. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The study hall is not empty. There is a book collection in it.

I couldn't help but feel stunned. All of this infrastructure was temporary. Even this mansion is built as a temporary stay.

Then I walked a little bit further. I see the teacher is looking at some stuff. I quietly stepped forward and stood in front of a wooden table.

Lowell McClain is already aware of Zack's presence. He then stopped viewing the report and turned his attention toward his student.

He said, "Zack, your rate of progress went beyond my prediction. Normally, students will graduate after becoming super elite from the academy. "

"You are just one big realm away from it," Lowell added further.

Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "You can graduate after becoming super elite," I said in my heart.

Lowell observes Vincent's reaction. "That's right, the super-elite is limited. The outer post lacks the energy and resources for further cultivation."

Hearing that a look of realization dawned upon me. So it is not the academy but the outer post region that doesn't have energy for further cultivation.

A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I thought after joining the academy my journey would be smooth sailing. But what I'm going to do if there is a lack of resources?

Especially I need rare lightning elemental resources.

Lowell saw through his student's troubles. He knew what was bothering him. Lightning elements are scarce in this region. An elite-level resource, he knows only one place where it is available.

"Zack,"

"To train you. I already made a perfect plan. You will spend one year at Saw Scale Viper Academy. After that I will take you back with me to the Inner Post region," Lowell said with a smile.

"One year," I asked out in surprise. For what?

Lowell replied, "The Saw Scale Viper Academy has super elite-level resources. And you will find one for your lightning element in the Special elemental Zone."
"In the meantime, I will make arrangements for you in the Inner Post. It will take at least a few months for me. But if you manage to get that resource in a shorter period, then you can contact me," Lowell said in a calm tone.

My heart set off storms. Super elite-level lightning resources? I'd already guessed what this is. It must be related to the special element zone.

Then I quickly calmed down by heart. Fortunately, I got the opportunity to leave the outer post entirely after collecting the lightning resource. But why do I feel this is another test from the teacher?

Talking about the test, I looked at him. I don't know whether it is okay or not.

I asked, "Teacher, what should I do in the competition?"

Lowell sighed inwardly. He thought this competition would be a whetting stone for him. But with Zack's current strength, he can walk sideways completely.

"Well, now it has become easy for you. Do you remember what I told you about the rewards?" Lowell asked.

I quickly recalled something from memory. The first place in this competition is awarded mysterious rewards. And that teacher has said that previously, that reward is important to me.

So If I don't participate, how can I get the reward? After gaining some clarity, I looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, I understand. I will get first place in the competition."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Lowell's eyes.

Then he said, "It's good. You can leave now."

Hearing that I nodded and left the study hall.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

Two days later,

The Odyssey Monster Zone's location is crowded with many forces. Almost every mansion is occupied by people. People from big forces were staying in a large mansion.

Whereas people from medium and small-sized forces were staying in small buildings. Strangely, the seed warriors from Tier-7 cities were not that many.

And some of the big influential forces didn't even come. Right now most of the warriors walking along the street were Tier-8 city residents.



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

They don't know the danger of the Odyssey Monster Zone. As such in one of the medium size buildings, the people from Frazier Clan were staying inside.

In the main hall,

"Maria, are you sure?" The Frazier Clan head asked in a calm tone.

Maria Frazier nodded her head in response.

Seeing that, a hint of hesitation flashed in Head's eyes.

The Frazier Clan people came here last night. But right after that, they managed to collect various information.

The competition is going to start tomorrow. But there is no sign of seed warriors from big forces. The Clan Head feels something wrong.

That's why he asked his daughter whether she was sure about her participation.

At the same, Maria was aware of the dangers in the monster zone because of Zack's intel.

Seeing not many people from Tier-7 cities shows that Zack's information is credible. But to further develop her clan she had no other option except to participate in it.

Similar meetings were happening across the forces that came here late. Especially the forces coming from Tier-8 cities. One by one starting to realize that something was fishy.

In a couple of days, some big forces strongly protested to stop the competition. But everything died down after the joint statement released by the academies.

Anyway, it is too late to change anything. The competition will start tomorrow. The forces make their seed warriors in a peak state.

At this time people from Crimson Hall also arrived at the location. They were all walking towards their mansion. As a host, a very large mansion was built near the monster zone similar to the big forces.

First Elder Casey reveals a triumphant smile on his face. He really can't wait to start the competition. So that people can see his masterpiece.

But he also notices some slippery foxes didn't come here at all. Their descendants are going to miss the opportunity.

Casey sneered inside. Though some of the forces didn't come. But he saw the forces connected to their Crimson Hall blindly come here.

They must be betting on the reputation of the crimson hall. He let out a small laugh. Those forces will know how wrong they are tomorrow.

The following day,

8 A.M

I hear the participants were gathering in front of the monster zone right now. And the powerhouse from the six academies will arrive shortly.

When the information reached my ears. I left the mansion and walked toward the monster zone. The entrance to the monster zone is similar to other monster zones.

There is a vetting process. Only the registered participants can enter inside. While walking, I see a huge sky tower building close to the wall.

Seeing that a quick glint flashed in my eyes. The sky tower building is specifically built for people from the academies.

I don't know whether anyone has arrived or not. Not only that, I heard that crimson hall has arranged live broadcasting for the competition.

I don't know what happened to Jonathan and the Teacher. They were nowhere to see this morning. But I believe they will be monitoring the event in secret.

Then putting aside these thoughts, I walked forward to the monster zone.

At the same time, inside the sky tower.

First Elder Casey is waiting for the academy powerhouse to arrive. There were several floors in this sky tower. Each floor is opened to the forces.

They were allowed to enter inside based on their ranking. Right now the small forces were entering the lower floors. Where the medium-sized forces are slightly above it.

And the big forces were occupying higher floors except for the top. The top is left for academy powerhouses.

Each floor is set up with a big screen to show the live event. One by one the floors were getting filled with people.

From the clouds high above, two people were observing everything calmly. Essentially the scenes happening in the sky tower didn't go unnoticed by their eyes.

"Master, is there something wrong with the six forces? Jonathan asked.

A quick glint flashed in Lowell's eyes. The next second, he revealed a small smile on his face.

"The six academies lost their spine. I think it's time to put them back in their place," Lowell said with a smile.

But a small volcano is boiling in his heart. The academies were stopping so low to cover their inability to recruit more warriors.
