to his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His return was not known to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has a worrisome expression on his face, as if a huge pressure has been weighing on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The foreign creatures has been increasing lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, we are losing the number of warriors.” “If this goes on, we will face extinction,” Jerome muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the other forces didn’t have any other choice but to recruit more warriors and help them grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why they have recruited young warriors from the inner post region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the recent reports, he thinks that he might have to recruit young warriors from the inner post region again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing down these thoughts, he activated the device and began looking for notifications and updates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While going through it, he tapped on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the latest news on the second tab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes immediately caught the headlines of the trending topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dark Variant Faction’s Sacred Fruit Bet on Zack Lockwood’s duel!] “Hmmm,” Jerome raised his eyebrows in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Outer Hall Warriors, he could only remember the names of a few people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Zack Lockwood’s name was first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows Zack Lockwood’s true talent, with the three elements and super grade above cultivation talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believes that Zack Lockwood has the potential to reach the Red Mark Warrior level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the future of the land rests on youngsters like Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he plans on investing in Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the faction leader’s latest request to provide purple lightning resources to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this was that the Thunderflame Faction wants Zack Lockwood to become a Black Mark Warrior as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was also aware of recent attacks on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of his order that the Intelligence Unit found the traces of Gold Mark Warrior Rupert quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had read the report about that killer Rupert as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he felt fortunate that Zack Lockwood’s identity was made public on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would provide a safety net for Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to the killer Rupert, he has decided to confront Dean Toby about this later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he is more interested in this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked the article to read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was revealed that sacred fruits grow in powerful secret lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thinks it must have been given by Vince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, their Leader and Main Elders wouldn’t allow that kid Ronnie to make a bet like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome’s mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He does not have many years left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is he stirring up trouble?” he said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he saw a new article appear on the second tab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Update: Zack Lockwood Accepts the Challenge!] “This?” Dean Jerome was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid, why is he so hasty?” Jerome shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderflame Faction: The Faction Leader, Clifford, and the main elders are discussing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their opinions are divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin thinks it’s a good chance to obtain the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it’s not easy to get from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s possible only when a powerful secret land opens up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, there is a month left for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Main Elders Ann, Leola, and Cathy were on one side, they didn’t want Zack Lockwood to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Dark Variant Faction learns about Zack Lockwood’s three elements, then they would do everything to kill Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford was stuck between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows the danger of exposing Zack Lockwood’s three elements right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t deny Austin’s opinion either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack Lockwood becomes a Black Mark Warrior, then no one could do anything to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Black Mark Warriors and above are important assets for Star University and their whole Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killings were forbidden over small matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, old man Clifford gets a summoning call from Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, he stood up in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was waiting for Dean Jerome’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he is here, he has decided to ask him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders are surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean is back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has summoned me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to ask him about this,” old man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Hearing that, everyone agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that Dean Jerome had high hopes for Zack Lockwood as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He won’t make any bad judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Faction Leader Clifford enters Dean Jerome’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean,” Clifford seated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit,” Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford took a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are old men, but Dean Jerome is many hundreds of years older than Clifford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know whether you and the main elders are sleeping at the Thunderflame Faction,” old man Jerome asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmmm,” Clifford showed a stupefied expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Jerome chuckled and turned the screen towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when his gaze fell on the headlines, he was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did he make a decision without informing us?” Clifford asked himself in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the other main elders had a meeting about this a minute ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that kid had already made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw it was posted around ten minutes earlier, he gritted his teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, do you understand?” Dean Jerome asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, we were having a meeting regarding this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this kid made a decision without us,” Clifford said with a helpless smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome chuckled and said, “Looks like he was aware of the sacred fruit benefits.” “Dean, it’s risky for him to participate in this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Vince sees him, then he would know about Zack Lockwood’s three elements,” Clifford said with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I have this spare storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has additional functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it can hide the ranks of warriors up to the Red Mark Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, it can block three attacks from a Red Mark Warrior.” “It belongs to my late friend who died in battle a hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let that kid have it from now on,” Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows the power of the Red Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect such an existence to die in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believes it must have happened long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford then receives the ring, which is black in color with a simple design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will suspect anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, about the duel…” Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let him participate; the purple sacred fruits are not easy to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t find them in large numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he has an opportunity in front of him, let him use it.” “I heard his essence cultivation is still at SSS-Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he breaks through to reach Commander Rank, then I will give the rest of the purple lightning resources for him to reach up to the Peak Stage General,” Jerome said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had decided to invest in that kid, he decided to start from this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Dean,” Clifford let go of his hanging heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, you can go now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make him wear the ring right away,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford nodded before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was gone from the place, Dean Jerome’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vince, what do you gain from this duel?” Jerome asked himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks that the Dark Variant Faction wants to test Zack Lockwood’s strength for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he thinks the purple lightning sacred fruit is too much for a bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Old man Clifford returns to the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, everyone was waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had told them that he would ask the Dean’s opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They waited to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader, what did he say?” Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of anger appeared in Clifford’s eyes for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he told everyone what happened during the small meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect that kid to be stupid at times,” Leola said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a bad decision,” Cathy added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think that kid is tempted by the purple lightning sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has been complaining about the lack of purple lightning resources lately,” Ann spoke her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin broke out into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he knows why his disciple made such a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack had already experienced the benefits of the Thousand Refining Dark Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit is similar to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t want to say anything about that right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford snorted while looking at Austin before summoning Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction: Ronnie Seth saw replies to his post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, he was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he realized Zack Lockwood must be interested in the bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruit is something precious for the purple lightning warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming back from the meeting hall, he had read so many posts where he learned about the true benefits of the fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but show his envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know why the Faction Leader and Main Elders agreed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to see the duel between him and Zack Lockwood, they could have given him something else for a bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Zack Lockwood wins the duel, then he would get a breakthrough by a whole rank after consuming the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know why he didn’t get one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S
