fruit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective: Duel Arena: “Zack Lockwood is the winner,” the referee said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice sounded across the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone heard it loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the announcement brought a round of applause and cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee then took out the box before giving it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I accepted the box and stored it inside the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared all of a sudden, startling both of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was none other than the Dark Variant Faction Leader, Vince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep gaze fell on Zack Lockwood, trying to see through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I felt a sense of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible pressure gripped my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old referee was even more petrified, not a word coming from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was watching the scene on the big screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the audience, some of the warriors were sucking cold breaths of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Vince, what are you doing?” A voice sounded, relieving me from the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw Faction Leader Clifford standing beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford looked deep into the eyes of Vince and said, “Are you going to make trouble?” “Ha…Ha…Ha.” “Clifford, you have given such expensive things to this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this old man is envious,” Vince said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was speaking about the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford understood immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s nothing else, goodbye,” After saying that, he grabbed Zack Lockwood’s shoulder before leaving the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vince’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was putting psychological pressure on that kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were other low-order warriors, they would have fainted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the kid was able to manage it for seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting,” his eyes flashed cold before taking Ronnie Seth from the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man referee breathed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was facing the invisible pressure as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pressure was not directed at him; otherwise, his expression would have been worse than Zack’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford took me directly to the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he arrived on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt no good intentions from the old man earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, you did well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That old man earlier was the faction leader of the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our two factions are deadly rivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few seconds ago, he was putting psychological pressure on you.” “But you performed well,” Clifford said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, a look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The Thunderflame Faction Main Elders left the viewing deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s face was ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated the old man Vince of the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t do anything to the Half-step Red Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firm glint flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, he felt challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His old fire rekindled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to reach Half-step Red Mark Rank soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ann, Leola, and Cathy followed him to leave the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline Faction: “Wow, that kid was indeed strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He performed better than the rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purple lightning electrocuted the lightning warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shows that even the opponent couldn’t withstand the purple lightning element,” Bethany Sutton said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Francesca Ball was carrying a solemn expression as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found a strange commotion with Zack Lockwood, but she couldn’t explain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany noticed Francesca was absent-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go back to our faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time for others to practice hard,” Bethany said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Francesca recovered her thoughts and decided to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany didn’t say anything and left with her main elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The Elemental Factions were taken aback by the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the Blazing Fire Faction Elder Elmer, the others wore shocking expressions on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning is also an element, but ours is not this destructive,” one of the faction leaders commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the time being, no one should trouble this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford has shown his protectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not wise to anger him,” a female faction leader said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone came to an agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they left the place one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the warriors were leaving the spectator area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had wished for a long duel, but the duel ended rather easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent was not strong enough to defeat Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Hall; Old man Clifford dropped Zack Lockwood in the hall before sitting back in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I controlled my emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Half-step Red Mark was something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought me here after taking one or two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, the main elders landed inside the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at the Faction Leader and Zack Lockwood, they sat in their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, you did well!” Master Austin praised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, one after another, the main elders praised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time for me to see all of their smiling faces, including Elder Leola and Elder Cathy, who were smiling as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, give me the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to check it,” Old Man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I gave him the box without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford appreciated my attitude before taking the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the main elders’ gazes were on the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford uncovered the box before taking out the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main elders were all surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like you can see this fruit every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Austin was tempted, but he erased his desire the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to check whether it was good or fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew about the old man Vince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think that old man Vince would be willing to use the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes scanned the fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin and the others understood his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions grew serious as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never thought of this possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the fruit was fake or something, then Zack Lockwood would have fought for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I was feeling bad as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew that the Dark Variant Faction Leader was unkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a possibility of him doing something to the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Old man Clifford said, “I didn’t sense anything in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my intuition tells me something is wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Vince was not someone who would give a sacred fruit for nothing.” Hearing that, everyone’s expression turned worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, give it to me,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford tossed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Austin accepted it, he tried to see through it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t sense anything wrong with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Elder Ann checked the fruit as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by, Elder Leola and Cathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one saw anything wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they learned that old man Vince used the extremely rare single-horn lightning snake’s poison, they would be shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That poison is something not easily seen by a Red Mark Warrior, let alone a Half-step Red Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why old man Vince was confident in doing what he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone made their observations, the fruit finally came to my hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately felt a throbbing sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stored the fruit in the box before placing it in the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, you can leave now,” Old man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I nodded to him, the masters, and the main elders before leaving the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 10 minutes later, I returned to the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing I did was enter the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bath lasted for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking out of the bath, I changed into comfortable clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I returned to the room and took out the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the purple lightning arc, my eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I feel something strange as well?” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt no hurry in consuming the fruit right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will do it tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I placed the fruit back in the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dark Variant Faction Leader Vince was at his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with a sinister look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait to know whether that kid Zack Lockwood had consumed the fruit or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he thought that kid would die in a few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ronnie Seth was undergoing treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, He was able to move his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he immediately checked his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there were no serious injuries, he sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he seemed to realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning of Zack was stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, he hadn’t felt such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even fought for a couple of rounds before losing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, he was defeated in just a few more rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were Lightning warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why such a difference?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dark lightning was supposed to be strong and corrosive to others’ elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his dark lightning had been completely crushed by Zack’s purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought of the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized it was difficult for him to catch up to Zack Lockwood from here on out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered whether their faction still had any sacred fruits left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to ask the main elder later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the faction leader and the main elders had left a bad impression on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether it was good to ask them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
