I was observing her movements as she continued to circle around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had found the same tactics as Senior Riley. But I wasn’t going to give up. It was challenging for me as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany drew her flame fist at Zack Lockwood’s back. But her attack was seen through by me. I turned around to block her fist at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her flames instantly covered my right palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the black flames began to burn my skin. If I wanted, I could use purple lightning to destroy the black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by doing that, I would concede the duel as well. I didn’t want to do that. I wasn’t going to make things easy for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let the black flames burn my skin. At the right opportunity, I retreated backward to the edge of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany was stunned. She was speechless. She was sure that her attack could force Zack Lockwood to use his purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was enduring her black flames. Her expression grew serious. She knew Zack Lockwood didn’t make things difficult for Riley. He was doing it against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only her; the warriors around the platform, the faction leader, and the main elders thought the same as well. Everyone thought Zack Lockwood was taking the duel seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this duel continued, then he might receive multiple burn injuries on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the balcony, the main elders’ faces were serious. Even Austin didn’t expect this from his disciple. On the other hand, Ann understood the competitive nature of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her opinion, Zack Lockwood didn’t want to give up that easily. But still, she worried about the burn marks, which were unnecessary right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bethany has won the duel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford said to everyone. Hearing that, the main elders behind him were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only them but also the two warriors inside the platform and the warriors surrounding the platform as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the platform, Bethany widened her eyes in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been worried about her chances seconds ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t expected the faction leader to see through her difficulty because Zack Lockwood was purposely making things difficult for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, this was just a qualification match. There was no need to get serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, there is no need to get injured. This is just a qualification match. Don’t take it seriously,” Faction Leader Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Bethany felt she was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, my mouth twitched. I wanted to enjoy the duel, but he stopped it. Then I turned around and nodded to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, Bethany, you can go down. Who is willing to come next?” Faction Leader Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Bethany exited the platform. She joined the list of Riley. They were going to participate in the main event tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender-looking warrior entered the platform. His name was Craig from the Ice and Fire Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing him, Main Elder Cathy reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “He is another senior student like the previous two. His ice element is very strong. I don’t know whether Zack can withstand the power of ice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low exclamation occurred below. All the senior students knew about Craig. He was middle-aged, but his physique was lean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People might think he was a weak warrior, but his ice element could turn people into ice cubes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So those who knew him had already predicted the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting,” Riley, standing at the corner, commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany, who was taking a rest, was speechless as well. She felt pity thinking about Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been attacked by golden lightning, black flames, and now this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was looking forward to seeing whether Zack Lockwood could take the attack head-on, like he had done to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the platform, I was still feeling the pain from the burn marks. Now another guy had appeared. From the conversation around him, I learned that he was from the Ice and Fire Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I doubted he could follow the same trick with his ice element. I sighed inwardly thinking about it because I hadn’t heard of any movement-type ice element technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I collected my thoughts and started observing the person in front of me. He was a middle-aged man with a lean physique. His skin tone was fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the people’s conversation around me, he seemed to be another senior student who had suppressed his rank to gain powerful inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Craig was observing the opponent as well. He had watched the previous two duels. His elemental technique was ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the lightning and fire elements, he could freeze the opponent. He had decided to target Zack Lockwood’s weak point, which was the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the balcony, the faction leader, Clifford, revealed a smile on his face. He was satisfied with Craig’s temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he would fight against Zack Lockwood right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he was taking time to think about a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Craig, he is a good warrior. What do you think, guys?” Faction Leader Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, my disciple would be forced to use his purple lightning. Even if he doesn’t, faction leader, you would announce the result,” Austin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack can use his full strength against other faction warriors. There is no need for a fight between us,” Cathy said from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She is right. Tomorrow’s duel is important,” Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other main elders agreed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the platform, Craig had decided to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the initiative to rush toward Zack Lockwood. He didn’t use the ice element at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors outside exclaimed in a low tone. They thought Senior Craig would use the ice element, but he was going to attack with brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the platform, I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I thought this guy was planning to use his ice element in a tricky way, so I should be careful of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I used my perception once again. His movements had become crystal clear in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Craig appeared before me. Without any hesitation, he raised his fist to attack me. Seeing that, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one competes against me when it comes to brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I simply blocked the fist, neutralizing the force. I looked at Senior Craig with a smile on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he smiled in response. I immediately knew something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, both of our locked fists were covered in an ice block. Seeing my expression change drastically, I immediately used my left hand to strike the ice block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My left fist completely shattered the ice block. When my right hand became free, I retreated backward toward the edge of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craig was smiling before moving back to his previous position. He wanted to test Zack Lockwood’s brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he could confirm that Zack Lockwood could destroy his ice blocks with brute force alone. If he wanted to win this duel, then he could only come up with a plan like the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors around the platform exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors from Ice and Fire had smiles on their faces. They didn’t expect their senior to use such a trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ice element was powerful, then Zack Lockwood would have been forced to use his purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the higher-ups in the balcony had smiles on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Riley and Bethany, they thought Craig was using his brain more than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craig was moving again from his spot. He was darting toward Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he planned to do a sneak attack. Only a surprise element could force Zack to use his purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I didn’t know what to do. Should I deal with it casually? If I wanted to, I could use brute force to defeat him easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Senior Craig seemed to be a powerful warrior like the others. He deserves a place in tomorrow’s match up. I don’t want to spoil his chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided to go along. If he is powerful, then I will use the purple lightning against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he appeared before me once again. I thought he would use his fist to attack me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he has completely different plan in his mind. Before I could do something. He used his technique right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful ice element covers the place in the blink of an eye. The freezing ice covers my whole body, before I could do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the fist to break to break the freezing ice. But it’s taking time. If I could use the purple lightning then the whole ice elments will be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Craig is carrying smile on his face. He continues to use his ice element to cover the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>",1511,"2026-06-05T15:57:17.230Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc211d797be7090098ed99a9d766b4c8efc08c557979f14b696837188e3fd282","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1131","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1129",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
