fleeing the Star University Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current identity of Zack Lockwood has made him not stop at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is feeling frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, he is not using any vehicles but is relying on his movement technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he is moving through the barren land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has gotten away from the crowded city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wants to reach the border in a short time, he needs to cross the small mid-level towns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory he is planning to enter is a city under another university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he is not going back to the Dark Shadow University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going back to the Dark Shadow University would be suicidal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would he be captured by the elders, but the Dark Shadow University Warriors would never stop following him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, he hasn’t spotted any sign of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he doesn’t want to take any chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after getting into another foreign territory would the Dark Shadow University Warriors stop their pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective: Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the infirmary, I slowly opened my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind was calmer and clearer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no headache, and my thought process was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmmm,” I noticed someone else standing beside the treatment bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Ann,” I called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are awake,” Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing I remember was lying in a pool of my own blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the enemy, a chill flashed in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ann suddenly felt the cold intent from Zack as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “Looks like you knew the attacker.” I nodded my head and said, “If I’m not wrong, it must be related to my previous experience.” Then I told her about the Blood Shadow Force, Giant Tower Academy, and Eclipse Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, I’m suspicious of the Blood Shadow Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a mission to kill me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, “If I’m not wrong, then it must be the Dark Shadow University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have this cruel policy of not allowing any failures.” “They usually deal with assassins and killing businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Shadow Force appears to be their branch in the Inner Post Region.” “Don’t worry; if the identity is confirmed, we will report it to the Dean,” Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confirm the identity?” “How?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is what happened after your injury,” Ann started to explain about Elder Lorenzo and the other Elders’ reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then added information about the Mellow Cafe witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, My eyes flashed with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the killer was seen last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that way, we can easily find him,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the news has already reached the Intelligence division as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must be verifying his identity,” Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, can I go now?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should rest here for a few more days, at least until we find the killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are not sure whether it’s a faction’s work or your old enemies,” Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we spoke about a few things before she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was gone, a cold chill appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Ann was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was fixated on my old enemies, but I had forgotten there are people here who want my life as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since my identity was now known to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those factions that wanted to take action might have acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dean Jerome was in his office, going through the intel report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack and the others were here, they would be shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star University Intel Division had found out the identity of the attacker based on the Mellow Cafe witness and a few footages captured in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rupert,” old man Jerome said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The profile information was thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his initial development and later posting in the Inner Post Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the profile information, the old man understood what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the same old cruel policy,” the old man uttered in an icy tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how many victims had fallen for the Dark Shadow University’s policy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they had stretched their hands here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was forbidden for other forces to interfere or take action here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this guy boldly attacked a disciple of the Main Elder in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man didn’t know whether the attacker acted after learning the identity or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood’s identity had been made public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to protect him from sharp daggers, and the other was to train him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But old man Jerome was happy that no internal faction was involved in this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first heard the news, he immediately thought of the top 10 factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the killer was known, and he could be at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he has dispatched people to find this killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was still hiding in the Star University Territory, the killer would be caught in a couple of days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the profile on his desk, he picked up another report to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid has gained consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no serious injuries to his body or mind,” old man Jerome said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was most worried about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like others, he had suspected it was impossible to survive the coercion of a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zack Lockwood proved everyone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man knew the reason for that as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Zack Lockwood possessed three elements and was a dual practitioner who cultivated both physique and essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I release the news or not?” old man Jerome thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to keep this matter in suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the factions must be on their best behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to keep it that way for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Austin returned to Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he did was visit Zack Lockwood in the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My disciple, you are fortunate this time.” “I think it’s right for you to walk the dual path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the blood element strengthening your bones, I doubt you would have survived the attack,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to focus more on physique cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t feel good until I reach the Black Mark Warrior rank,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry; the days are not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should rest here for a few days before leaving,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, about the killer,” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about it,” Austin said before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I felt bored and restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to know who attacked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My instincts told me it was the Blood Shadow Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Master and the Elders were suspecting the factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed and lay on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Austin returned to the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An emergency meeting was arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford arrived first at the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the others followed one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elder Leola, Austin, Cathy, and Ann arrived and took their respective seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford sat in his main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at everyone, all of whom wore solemn expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he was outside when he first heard the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he made a quick return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Intelligence Division had figured out the identity of the killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They provided a copy of the report to him and the Dean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spoke to the Dean, the Dean had warned him not to make the news public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean wanted other factions to be on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could share the news with the Main Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got the report from the Intelligence Division,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each force had its own intelligence unit, and their unit was one of the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No unknown person could walk across Star City without their knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sending it to your I.D.,” the old man then shared the intel as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin and the others began to go through the intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s heart was already boiling with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he had heard the news, he had been controlling himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wondering whether it was a faction’s doing or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the truth was before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the killer’s name, Rupert, he realized he was the head of a small branch called the Blood Shadow Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a branch of Dark Shadow University’s killing unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Zack Lockwood was made a target was due to their cruel policy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They do not tolerate incomplete missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are famous for completing every unfinished mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, things had gotten out of their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood was targeted while he was in the Inner Post Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Shadow Force had made multiple attempts to kill Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, Zack Lockwood had joined Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after that, Rupert was removed from his post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since then, he had been traveling in their Tier-4 Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be that the Dark Shadow University wanted him to complete the mission or that he was acting on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zack Lockwood’s identity had been made public just before the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s impossible for Dark Shadow University to know about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it must be related to their cruel policy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think his sixth disciple was close to death made him furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These gloomy b@stards dared to target my disciple,” Austin said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
