I hope the event won’t disappoint me,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start the duel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The match will be random! The first round starts now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said in a deep voice. His voice reached everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience erupted with loud cheers. The Outer Hall Warriors made up the most numbers. At this moment, their noise was loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the matchups began to appear on the big screen. There were 90 warriors. Their images with names were constantly appearing on the screen one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the matchup stopped at two names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thunderflame Faction: Zack Lockwood]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Monster Bloodline Faction: Edmond]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two images and names appeared on the screen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall Warriors began to cheer once again. This time they were cheering for Zack Lockwood. They didn’t know about the Edmond guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone thought he was another hidden warrior like Stephen. Yet people were shouting because of Zack Lockwood. This one guy had previously thrashed Elemental Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the matchup was not against an Elemental Warrior, the warriors were interested in this matchup as well. No one had seen Zack Lockwood fighting against Bloodline Factions before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there was no conflict previously, many of them wanted to see this type of match. Seeing it finally taking place, the Outer Hall Warriors were thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderflame Faction Warriors started cheering more. They would get to see the true extent of Zack Lockwood’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, they had only witnessed a restricted strength of Zack Lockwood. Here they knew they were going to see the full elemental power of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, I was dumbfounded. I had never thought I would be the first one. Riley, Bethany, Craig, and Gareth cheered me on. They knew I was going to win anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So their expressions were relaxed. I nodded to them before leaving the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmond talked to his team before leaving the room as well. The Monster Bloodline Faction Warriors were serious. They never expected one of them to fight against Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew about Zack Lockwood’s strength. A ruthless figure; only a powerful warrior could stop Zack Lockwood. But Edmond was not easy as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster Bloodline Warriors team looked at each other. They were not going to discuss Edmond’s strength here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We appeared outside at the same time. Under the loud cheers of the people, we started walking towards the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewing bloc 1:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clifford, this kid is going to fight first. What do you think?” Dean Jerome asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Oldman Clifford was speechless. He thought Dean Jerome was teasing him. Because it was not hidden. Everyone knew about Zack Lockwood’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the core secrets were guarded, such as triple elements and the purple seed. If the news were leaked, then Zack Lockwood would have faced death threats on a daily basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, you knew everything. Then why are you making fun of me? The duel would be easy for the kid, Zack Lockwood,” Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harumph,” a cold snort came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oldman Clifford was stunned. Then he realized who the person was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader Bethany,” Oldman Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, our faction warrior is a hidden gem. He will surprise everyone. Especially, he will surprise that kid,” Bethany said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her stood Francesca Ball, the faction leader of the Human Ancestor Bloodline Faction. Right now, her gaze was on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She once again felt a mysterious connection upon seeing Zack Lockwood. But she didn’t know why. She had even searched her family’s study room for answers. But she didn’t find one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was sure that there was something important hidden. If she failed to find out, she thought there would be a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome uttered, “Yes, the kid Edmond is not ordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had already read the information about the 90 warriors. So he knew about Edmond as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oldman Clifford’s eyes flickered. He didn’t expect Zack Lockwood’s opponent to be formidable as well. Then he relaxed after thinking about Zack Lockwood’s purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had forced Zack Lockwood to be serious last night. He didn’t think Edmond could defeat Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the platform, we stood opposite each other. I had never thought my first opponent would be a Bloodline warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting,” my mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man landed on the platform near us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “I’ll make the rules clear. Killing is not allowed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The use of external things is not allowed, like artifacts, herbs, and forbidden liquids,” the old man said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the tense pressure from the old man, I nodded to him. Edmond nodded to him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmond is a blonde-haired warrior over 6ft tall. His physique is well-toned and tanned. From the outside, people would suspect whether he is a Bloodline warrior or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he is a Bloodline warrior from the Monster Bloodline Faction, I’m eager to see his bloodline ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, ready for the duel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said before activating the barrier. The barrier started to cover the whole platform. He appeared outside. He didn’t think the two warriors would go for a kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought the barrier was enough to stop their elemental attacks from spreading outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Start the duel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the barrier covered the platform, the old man shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmond erupted with great speed. In the next second, he darted towards Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the opponent’s action surprised me. I thought he would use his bloodline ability straight away. But I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to test each other’s strength with brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I chose to do the same. Even if there is danger, I can still turn things around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Edmond appeared before my eyes. Then he used his fist to throw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fist was close to my face, I simply blocked the punch using my palm. The shock force spread across the platform, hitting the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-05T15:57:17.230Z",1,"novelbin.me","f79eb08543670e2708e7452a9df11d76788dd6f70184a901783127cd6f233498","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1135","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1133",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
