Training Lab From MC’s Perspective: The following day, In the morning, I met with Master Austin and told him about my plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing that, he became interested and decided to accompany me as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to other universities, the start university didn’t utilize the facilities of the Virtual Training Lab properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin was aware of the benefits of dueling against the virtual avatars of strong warriors, so he was looking forward to seeing the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, the condensed liquid will be given to you later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go to the Virtual Training Lab,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I replied, “Okay, master.” Shortly afterward, We arrived at the Virtual Training Lab and both walked into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the staff members who came outside was startled upon seeing us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately went inside to inform others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel walked outside with other staff members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Austin, his pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I greet Main Elder Austin,” Old Man Daniel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Daniel, you are not weak either,” Austin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Old Man Daniel’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff behind him were all shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know why these two people had come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same doubt flashed in Old Man Daniel’s eyes, but before he could ask the question, Austin said, “My disciple wanted to use the virtual training facility, so I have come here to watch his virtual duels.” Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never before had a main elder personally visited the place; they usually sent a request through someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, a purple-marked warrior made a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel was humbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he felt the Star University higher-ups were paying attention to the Virtual Training Lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, can we go inside?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha…Ha…, come inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m looking forward to your avatar duel as well,” Old Man Daniel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he led the two of us inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel became enthusiastic and started explaining the Virtual Training Lab to Master Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, “Alright, you can fight now,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, set my opponent as Commander Rank,” I said to the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Old Man Daniel and the staff were not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had expected Zack Lockwood’s strength would be Commander Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They and Ronnie had arrived at the same conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack entered the pod chamber and wore the helmet before closing the top cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, “Who is his opponent?” Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His opponent’s name is Gibbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is a fire elemental warrior of the Blazing Fire Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has broken through to General Rank, but we can generate his Commander Rank strength,” Old Man Daniel explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blazing Fire Faction, good,” Austin said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then sat in the chair, looking towards the wide and big virtual screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted the avatar of his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the pod chamber, I felt the helmet scanning my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the helmet was in contact with my body, the ring wouldn’t be able to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the scanning was done, I found myself inside the blue space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at my body and moved my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the avatar body,” I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a red flame appeared opposite me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An avatar body of the opponent appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze fell on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the flame and his figure, I felt the pressure of Commander Rank, but it didn’t affect me in the slightest way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duel starts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent dashed towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the black sword and covered it with purple lightning within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the opponent was a few meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slashed at his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade came in contact with the opponent’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade went inside the opponent’s chest, leaving a huge bloody scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s an avatar body, the visuals were realistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning made the opponent’s body further injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorching sound could be heard from the opponent’s scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One move,” Old Man Daniel’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin showed no emotion, but he was impressed with the avatar duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also using mental calculations to see whether the avatar duels were reflecting the actual strength of the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that his disciple had the blessing of the purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could match his disciple’s lightning power, especially when combined with Commander Rank strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There should be no rivals in the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he noticed the expressions of others, they were in disbelief and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin knew that they didn’t understand the purple lightning seed, so they were taken aback by its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Old Man Daniel and the staff were thinking about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Old Man Daniel didn’t say was that the virtual avatar of Gibbs was powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that it had taken some time for Ronnie Seth to completely defeat Gibbs’s avatar body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here, Zack Lockwood had seriously injured Gibbs’s avatar body in one move, showing that Ronnie Seth’s loss was unjust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood had truly become strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel turned towards Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Main Elder, I think we should use a General Rank Warrior for the next fight.” “Okay,” Austin replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that his disciple was clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply using essence power to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had used his body strength, the opponent’s avatar would have exploded into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the staff were working to collect the data of Zack Lockwood and the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to see how much power was involved behind the sword slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction: In the meeting hall, people had gathered as usual again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two days, they had been under extreme pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew when the Faction Leader would attack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the main elders were seated, it didn’t take long before Old Man Vince appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat in his seat and swept his gaze over everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone lowered their heads in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were affected by his temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does anyone know what’s going on?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main elders looked at each other’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, no one had checked on the Thunderflame Faction, apart from one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Vince squinted his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes reddened in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before he could step out, one of the main elders spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader, I heard from my disciple that Zack Lockwood is practicing inside the essence chamber.” “Practicing?” “If he is practicing, then why is he still alive?” Old Man Vince uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader, we still don’t know whether he has consumed the sacred fruit or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from my disciple, I heard that Zack Lockwood is yet to consume the sacred fruit,” the main elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Vince’s eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood became better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Old Man Vince muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that the kid was probably strengthening his foundation, which was the only explanation for this to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a stable foundation, the sacred fruit’s energy could cripple a warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harumph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here I thought they had found out the secret,” Old Man Vince said with a snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader, that kid will definitely die,” the main elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the moods of the other elders improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual Training Lab: Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s avatar body took a few more slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he decided to use a little more strength, the avatar exploded into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had yet to use my full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those slashes were random slashes made by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that the avatar body would fall under such a trick-it left me unsure whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the broken body and splattered blood disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I realized Old Man Daniel had prepared the next opponent for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opponent wearing a red uniform appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I knew the opponent was another Blazing Fire Faction warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent raised a red saber to slash, and a fiery red attack shot towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I brought the black sword up to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade was covered with purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blade made contact with the red fiery attack, an explosion occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery red flames were totally extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath swept across the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact force didn’t move me much, but I saw the opponent retreating a few steps backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, my eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dashed forward to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s eyes turned red like fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s avatar came forward to attack me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword and saber clashed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a metallic noise sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I noticed that the saber was fully covered with powerful flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames had the strength of General Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abnormal power of the purple lightning easily withstood the red flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I stepped forward to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Old Man Daniel and the staff were petrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were witnessing something unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The General Rank Warrior’s avatar was not ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The General Rank Warrior could fight across ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that Zack Lockwood was making the avatar retreat, they were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
