Rank-Early (Essence breakthrough) From MC’s Perspective: The following day, I came to the Golden Lightning Palace and entered the essence chamber early in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world energy filled the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple energy entered my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started to guide the energy according to the lightning method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circulation, the purple energy entered the dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, I continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how long it was, but I felt the presence of the barrier more firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I continued the process to shatter the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, Outside, people had gathered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had learned yesterday that Zack Lockwood was attempting a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew the true strength of Zack Lockwood so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was speculating that his strength was SSS-ELITE Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said that his strength was Commanded Rank after witnessing the Arena Duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them knew the benefits of the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they learned it could raise their strength by a whole new rank, they would be shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, 4th Disciple Lola Garvin and 2nd Disciple Leah Downing were at Master Austin’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid has entered the chamber early again,” Austin said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, do you think that junior brother will reach the General Rank?” Lola asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin let out a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His other disciples didn’t know about Zack Lockwood’s tri-element and his body practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could answer her, Leah Downing opened her mouth to say, “The sacred fruits are indeed capable of increasing strength by a whole new rank.” “But I think it can be consumed only once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If junior brother wants to reach the Peak of the General Stage, then he has to rely on himself,” she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leah is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might help Zack reach the Early-General Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to reach Peak, he has to work for it,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t plan on telling them about the purple lightning resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader was looking for the lightning resources privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be long before his 6th disciple became Peak General.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction: In the meeting hall, people had gathered once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the atmosphere was gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody wanted to anger the Faction Leader despite having many doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was confused about whether that kid Zack Lockwood had consumed the fruit or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had consumed the fruit, news of his death would have reached them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader, I suspect they have found out about the poison,” one of the main elders said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of pressure struck him and sent his body flying back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body smashed into the walls, destroying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others took a cold breath of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of Half-step Red Mark Rank was not something they could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was taught a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others didn’t want to anger the Faction Leader further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Vince was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was more tense than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” “Did they find out about the poison?” He was asking himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If others heard his inner thoughts, they would be shocked to the core, because the main elder who got injured had asked the same question a couple of minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, Old man Vince couldn’t help but leave the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to roam around Star City before coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought if the Thunderflame Faction had found his hidden hand, then they must be preparing something in retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn’t want to get caught off guard when it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual Training Lab: Old man Daniel was working with the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no other warriors there because of Zack Lockwood; they had frequent visitors over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this gradually reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, no one is there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrival startled everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, what are you doing here?” old man Daniel asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought this kid would be practicing hard after getting defeated at the hands of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth smiled and walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greeted the staff and the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, did you watch the duel?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Daniel raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think of his strength?” Ronnie asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood,” old man Daniel asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Ronnie replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Daniel fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him; the staff looked at each other in surprise as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were exactly discussing this yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to no conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, it appears Thunderflame Faction has given Zack Lockwood some artifact that hides his strength.” “No one knows his actual strength so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I think he might have reached Commander Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of it, his purple lightning is powerful to begin with.” “That’s why you were defeated easily,” old man Daniel replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been defeated in a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that the gap was high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood it was because of the purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wanted to ask about the sacred fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing that the staff were there, he didn’t bring the topic up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought that the sacred fruit was his, but in reality, it was given by the Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn’t know what their purpose was in doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I’m here, I’m ready to fight in the virtual duel,” Ronnie Seth said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, we have a surprise for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching yesterday’s duel, we have updated the data on Zack Lockwood.” “It might not be accurate, but it’s better than before,” old man Daniel said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ronnie was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, his gloominess disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essence Chamber: By evening, the barrier to the next rank started to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the small crack formed, it didn’t take long for the crack to expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many more cracks appeared on the barrier in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, the barrier shattered, and a new flood of energy rushed inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My whole body was strengthening at a rapid rate, including the purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Rank-Early!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to get up and decided to stabilize the rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, When it was nighttime, I found that I couldn’t practice anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins were in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My new rank had stabilized as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, I thought of consuming the sacred fruit after my breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I think it’s better to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My veins were under constant strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too risky to take the sacred fruit right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I stood up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I walked out, I found Master Austin in front of me, as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” “You have reached Commander Rank-Early,” Austin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, take a few more days’ rest before consuming the sacred fruit,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still thought continuous breakthroughs were not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I made up my mind to consume the sacred fruit tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader has brought a bottle of condensed energy liquid into the action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was given to the warriors below Black Mark Rank to strengthen their foundations.” “Now, it has come at the right time for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consume the condensed energy liquid tomorrow and strengthen your foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be too late to consume the sacred fruit then,” Austin said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, a look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master,” I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never thought a treasure resource would come at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condensed energy liquid would remove the lingering doubts about the weak foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would definitely strengthen my base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we spoke about a few other things before I left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, I returned to the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly went to take a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bath lasted for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked out and changed into comfortable clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but think about the Master’s advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had advised me to take a few days’ rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should use this opportunity to get familiar with the Commander Rank strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if I consumed the sacred fruit, I would reach General Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wouldn’t be a chance to experience the Commander Rank strength of mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I thought of the Virtual Training Lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Virtual Training Lab might be a good place to try out my new strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if old man Daniel found out about my Commander Rank strength, it wouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making that decision, I started reading online articles while sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Vince returned to the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he heard that nothing happened in the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It immediately pissed him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to barge into the Thunderflame Faction to know whether that kid had consumed the sacred fruit or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never been this frustrated before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main elders heard about his return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were in the meeting hall left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to anger the Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought that their plan had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
