Ancient Tears BloodLine

Dean Rebecca is looking at the competition schedule in her cabin.

The internal competition is necessary to select the qualified warriors who are going to represent the academy in the year-end competition.

She has already selected the name of Zack Lockwood. Apart from Zack, there are still warriors needed to represent the academy in the Elite levels.

When it comes to the Super Elite. She wants to start the competition when everyone is back. There are still one or two super-elite warriors yet to appear in the Earth Faction and the Wind Faction.

Suddenly, she thought of something. She hasn\'t heard anything from Zack Lockwood after his duel.

Then she summoned the guardians. A few seconds later, two guardians appeared. They are the secret protector of Zack Lockwood.

"Two of you!"

"Where is Zack Lockwood?" Rebecca asked.

The male guardian replied, "Zack has been staying in his room after his return from the auction trip."

Hearing that Rebecca was surprised. She didn\'t expect Zack to go outside.

"Alright, you guys can go," She instructed them to leave.

She didn\'t want to disturb Zack right now. Then she began to focus on her work.

...

Viper City,

Carlos Kent was staying in his home even after the departure of Jonathan. He didn\'t go back to Azure City either. 

The situation in Azure City puts him in a desperate situation. He didn\'t want to face such a dilemma. 

While he was resting in the room.

Beep~

A sudden call broke his leisure time.

The caller was none other than the Giant Tower Headmaster. But this time he was not in the mood for leisure talk.

When the call was connected. A voice filled with anger sounded. 

"Carlos, do you know what you are doing?"

Hearing that Carlos touched his forehead in the headache. He thought he had some leisure time. But it looks like it\'s over now.

"Carlos, why are you staying silent?"

"Are you thinking of backstabbing us?" 

The Giant Tower Headmaster said.

Carlos Kent finally lost his cool. A hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He started to think that the Giant Tower Headmaster was doubting him.

"I\'m busy with academy work. It\'s time for our academy\'s internal competition. So I don\'t have time to go back," Carlos Kent sent in a calm tone.

His expression turned solemn.

On the other hand, the Giant Tower Headmaster is aware of the recent happenings.

The news about the Morrow\'s family leaving reached his ears. This must be the work of the dean Rebecca. 

Because of that their plan has slowed down. And this b@stard is hiding in the Viper City.

There was some silence.

There is one more reason for the Giant Tower Headmaster\'s call. The mysterious person has already warned him. 

The character of Carlos Kent is unreliable. This came as a warning call for him. The Giant Tower Headmaster had heavily invested in Carlos Kent.

Even to such a length of emptying half the resources of the Giant Tower Academy. 

After a few seconds, his voice sounded again.

"Carlos Kent, I want to meet you in person."

Hearing that he stood up from his seat. At this moment, Carlos Kent has realized something is wrong. 

"Alright, you can fix the place and time. I\'ll come," He replied.

"The place is Viper City. I\'ll see you in 2 days," After saying that the Giant Tower Headmaster ended the call.

After the call, the face of Carlos Kent was not good-looking. A small sweet bead appeared on his forehead. 

He was aware of the existence of the mysterious person who was behind the Giant Tower Headmaster. 

Carlos fears that the mysterious person might appear. If it happens, then no one can guarantee his life. 

One more thing caught his attention. Which is the location. He doesn\'t know why those people are eyeing Azure City. 

He started to think something big was going on in Azure City. Suddenly, he remembers the existence of the Supreme Elder.

Recalling that the supreme elder was part of that group. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

He decided to inform Jonathan. 

...

From MC\'s perspective:

Not long after, the scorpion monster was reduced to scum. Fortunately, the monster core was not damaged by the attack.

So I retrieved it successfully. Looking at the remains of the monster. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

There is a slight improvement in the physique because of the bitter pill. During the time of refining, the changes were small. 

But right now, I\'m seeing the difference. Without the impurities, I feel my body is so light.

After taking one glance at the monster, I walked away. 

When I went a little deep. I have realized there aren\'t many monsters in this area. I have come a long way from the previous spot. 

But I have yet to encounter any monsters. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. This situation is unnatural. 

Before I could think further. A sense of crisis hit my body. But I found nothing in my perception. 

This sends me a signal of danger. 

Rustle~

On the other hand, a 30-foot-long centipede monster spotted the prey. It\'s an early-stage Class-6 Monster. 

Even the SS-Rank Warriors found it difficult to fight against the monster. It can shred any low-class monster into pieces.

After finding the prey, the monster didn\'t act. Rather a cunning glint flashes in its eyes. The monster wants to sneak attack.

But its long body movement can alert the prey. So the monster is looking for opportunities.

On the other hand, I didn\'t move an inch from the spot. I have to find where the source of danger is coming from. 

As time passes, apart from small raindrops and wind movement. I didn\'t hear anything, including the presence of the monsters.

Whereas the monsters were highly sensitive to the dangers. So the presence of Class-6 monsters made them escape.

10 minutes later,

I confirmed something in my mind. I feel the more likely of this happening is a higher-level monster is here.

It might be looking at me from a distance. But there was nothing in my perception range. This shows that the monster is not close to me at least.

"Lightning Phantom," I released the movement technique.

The purple arcs covered my legs. The next second, I started to run in the opposite direction in a zig-zag manner.

Rustle~

The centipede monster finally moved. The speed was so fast that it quickly reached the prey in a blink of an eye.

The giant body leaped towards the prey. The centipede wants to strangle the prey before killing it.

So its huge body appeared at the front.

"Lightning Wheel," I uttered.

The next second, a lightning wheel appeared around my body. A thundering sound resonated in the area.

For a second, the centipede monster hesitated. Then it sensed the power of lightning was not that much threatening. 

Then its body collided with the lightning wheel in the blink of an eye.

Boom~

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area. 

Argh~

A muffled grunt left my mouth.

My huge body collapsed onto the ground. The impact was so huge that blood spilled from my mouth. 

But enduring all of that, I executed the lightning phantom technique again. 

The purple arcs covered my legs. Then I started to run at breakneck speed.

On the other hand, the centipede monster didn\'t even flinch. It started to chase down.

Rumble~

The entire forest starts to tremble. The movement has alerted the other monsters in the vicinity.

No one wants to come in the way of a Class-6 Monster. Otherwise, they will be reduced to mincemeat.

"Come on," I muttered to myself.

While urging the lightning movement. I tried to get away as fast as possible. But I felt the monster get closer to me. 

I don\'t want to get bitten by razor-sharp teeth. The monster can poison me to death. 

"Lightning Wheel," While running, I tried to use another attack. However, it was difficult to execute two techniques at the same time.

So I canceled the movement technique and brought the sword outside. 

When I turned around, I saw the monster was a few steps away from me

"Lightning wheel"

I executed the lightning defense technique again. The lightning wheel formed in time. The centipede\'s mouth comes into contact with the wheel.

Boom~

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area. 

The impact force sent me flying again. The centipede monster was annoyed. The lightning didn\'t do that much damage.

Crash~

My body crashed onto the ground again. A hint of emergency rose in my heart. I have to escape as soon as possible. 

If the purple essence hits the rock bottom, then I have nowhere to escape.

Then I started to run by using the lightning movement technique. 

The centipede starts to chase again.

As the time passes, the purple essence starts to run out. Most of the essence is consumed in the lightning technique.

The centipede monster is getting annoyed by the continuous lightning technique. Though it doesn\'t suffer any injury. But the lightning bombardment pissed off the monster.

It can\'t wait to shred the prey into pieces.
