following day, I left the residence and went to the Outer Hall to test my new strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived at the training area, I saw warriors going about their business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at them before finding an available practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked into the room and selected the metallic puppet to appear on the console.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The platform opened up, and a human-height metallic puppet appeared above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the platform closed, it was time to attack the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of releasing any lightning technique, I walked up to the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple lightning arc appeared around my fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cracking sound could be heard faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand and touched the metallic puppet’s chest with a lightning palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning blasted away the metallic puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper part of the metallic puppet was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, my eyes gleamed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic puppets were made of special materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy for an average SSS-ELITE Rank Warrior to blow it up with one strike, especially without using any lightning technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know how the General Rank Warriors would react to my purple lightning,” I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I remembered a warrior from the Blazing Fire Faction wanted to go against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I accept their challenge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I feel that it will happen soon?” Shaking my head, I pushed aside these thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I moved on to practice my lightning skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, I left the Outer Hall training area and returned to the residence quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, no one recognized me today, and it seems people still think I’m training inside the Thunderflame Faction Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, I woke up and continued the same routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My training went well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the good things didn’t last long; my whereabouts were leaked on the morning of the third day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I ignored the outside noise and locked myself inside the puppet practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, David Leavy, the Black Mark Warrior from the Blazing Fire Faction, quickly learned the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the good news, he couldn’t sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly informed his faction’s outer hall warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were warriors who were patiently waiting to challenge Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their actions garnered attention only for two days, but it disappeared later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Zack Lockwood was seen back at the Outer Hall’s training area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately left their Blazing Fire Faction Territory and went to the Outer Hall Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news had reached other warriors in the Outer Hall as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a crowd began to form at the Outer Hall Training Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall Elders were quickly notified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall, which had been quiet for many days, was now once again becoming tense because of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall Elders were getting headaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could scold others, but they couldn’t punish or do anything against faction warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if the warriors were from the top 10 factions, they didn’t dare to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to them, they could only watch the drama unfold from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 25 minutes later, The training area was crowded with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Blazing Fire Faction’s warriors were present as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were able to collect information that Zack Lockwood had currently locked himself inside the puppet practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone wanted to disturb him from outside, Zack Lockwood couldn’t hear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be staying inside until his practice session was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knowing this, the warriors felt frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others who didn’t have anything to do with this started posting the news online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderflame Faction rarely had any troublemakers like Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the online post quickly garnered attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, the members inside other top 10 factions were able to learn this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who were below the Black Mark Warrior Rank saw the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, Zack Lockwood was a top genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already proven himself in virtual duels, including his duel against Ronnie Seth, and later, Zack Lockwood’s actions inside the Outer Hall Area’s forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medium and small-sized factions’ warriors looked up to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person was creating a headache for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from his serious training, he rarely made appearances outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point in time, many people had dug up Zack Lockwood’s details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the confidential background information, these warriors were able to learn about Zack Lockwood’s serious routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood had no friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from going to start city one time for a mission, he had been training inside the University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such dedication was seen rarely among the warriors of the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some of the main elders in the top factions were impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t know about Zack Lockwood’s real identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they learned that Zack Lockwood was originally the 6th disciple of Elder Austin, the other main elders’ disciples would turn up to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Finger!” A purple lightning beam was released from the top of my forefinger and shot at the metallic puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple beam went across in a straight line before striking the metallic puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the purple lightning caused the metallic puppet to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the damage was higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even lower metallic body parts were destroyed into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been an actual human warrior, the place would have become a bloody scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt inner satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m now more confident in dealing with the General Rank Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at evening, I stopped practicing and decided to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went to the console and deactivated the function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked out of the puppet practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I found various strong gazes on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood speechless and looked at my surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of warriors was looking at me directly, as if they had been waiting for me since morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of realization dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to fight,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for me!\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-05T15:57:12.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","bff80a28801125119f395ea2c5574e6b4b3eba3fc2b28b6ca8b99acf91ed6482","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1043","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1041",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
