passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderflame Faction Warriors are training as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some went with their Monster Hunting Squads to do missions outside of the University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others focused on improving their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be a yearly assessment at the end of each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assessment is done both by their Faction and University Management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this assessment was not announced yet, the senior warriors who are familiar with this process explained it to their juniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a week later, I returned to the Task Hall to accept a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My physical strength has grown slightly after consuming the dark liquid given by the Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My essence cultivation progress was on the right track as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided to use this opportunity to undertake a difficult mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might find my next breakthrough opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking up to the desk, I informed the female warrior that I wanted a monster hunting task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately showed me all available tasks on the virtual screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, I went to the secret land under the control of the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I wanted to go to a different place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I started going through the tasks one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scrolling through all the available tasks, I didn’t find anything satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the monster hunting tasks are difficult and require a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no solo missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden idea came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall has a mission area as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should go and check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making the decision, I immediately left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, I arrived at the Outer Hall mission area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Faction’s task hall, the mission area here is large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of warriors are coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I immediately walked into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw people standing in line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood behind one of the queues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, people accepted the missions and left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was my turn, I told the middle-aged man behind the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is a public teleportation area that leads to the outer monster area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can find tasks to collect herbs, fruits, and rare plants.” “There are a number of monsters living there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can hunt them as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, it’s a training ground for the Outer Hall Warriors,” the middle-aged man explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I accepted the task of hunting monster cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the registration, I immediately left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outer Monster Area,” I uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it seems different from the secret land controlled by the factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it could be a training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the University wouldn’t allow anyone to enter that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking out, I followed the route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, I arrived at the public teleportation area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a massive queue in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought of checking out this place, but the sheer number of warriors amazed me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The queue started to reduce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was my turn, I informed the guards about my destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I stepped inside the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside me, there were a few other warriors going to the same location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of us were standing inside the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards activated the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, we vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a structured building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, this person seems familiar.” “Yeah, I thought so too.” “But I don’t know his name.” “Look at his badge.” After walking out of the place, I noticed the curious gazes of people on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to recognize my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked away and started observing the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are brick-style buildings here, which remind me of a stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I come to the border?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several questions appeared in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place definitely seems to be a faraway location from Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have to confirm the information before going out to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I started to walk around, I found various shops on both sides of the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were selling monster materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to walk around and spotted a weapon shop as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, I’m feeling lost,” I thought to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m one of the rising stars in the top 10 Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, I should have some basic knowledge before coming here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I found the nearest store and walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged shopkeeper appeared to be a Commander Rank Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel his piercing gaze trying to assess my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young warrior, what do you need?” the middle-aged man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was respectful because he recognized that the young man was mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t see through my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have detailed information about this place?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was taken aback by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, did you come here for the mission?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have detailed information regarding this place, including a map, monster list, plant list, and treasure list,” the middle-aged man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need a map of monster lairs,” I requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“100 Mid Essence Stones or 1000 Credit Points,” he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have credit points,” I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man nodded before asking, “Send me your contact.” I provided it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sent me a digital map of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving it, I paid the credit points before walking out of the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeing that they are accepting credit points, it can be said that it’s the territory of Star University,” I thought to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I found a place to sit down and study the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A virtual screen appeared, showing the large landmass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starting point was marked in green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the stronghold where I am right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also marked as the Star University Outer Hall Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I let go of my worries and started to further study the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain is complex with uneven land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster lairs are located deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears that those near the entrance were cleared out long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place reminds me of a monster zone back in my hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s a hundred times larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more motivation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-05T15:57:12.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","c21b620224e8a362c3dcd10fccd9bd82dd83d319759bbe3528a68bc1cb898d16","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1027","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1025",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
