Before I could think further, I felt my mind go blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I found myself outside the sky rift. I looked around and found more than 50 people standing beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd, I found Emily Smith as well. She gave a slight nod upon seeing me. I nodded to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could think further, I heard Dean Jerome’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw everyone flying toward their university’s sky carrier. I collected my thoughts before moving toward ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I landed on the carrier platform, which was hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw fewer than 10 people land beside me. Everyone was looking at each other. Before everyone’s gaze turned toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone exclaimed in surprise. I saw that the other 8 people had become Black Mark Warriors as well. But their transformation was not that significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw Ronnie Seth among them. His aura was a bit stronger compared to the others. Upon seeing me, he nodded at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to him in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But change of mine was huge because of the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome appeared all of a sudden in front of me. His deep gaze was scanning me from top to bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome’s eyes flickered as he confirmed something. He felt an ancient aura from Zack Lockwood, which meant Zack Lockwood had accepted a powerful ancient inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that the other 8 people had accepted the inheritance as well, but theirs were not ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha… Ha… Ha…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, you are good. You didn’t disappoint me,” Jerome said with joyful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I didn’t know what to say. Emily Smith clearly advised me not to talk about the ancient inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could say anything, Dean raised his hand to stop me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can discuss this after going back.” After saying that, he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant sky carrier turned around to leave as well. Not only that, I saw that 5 other carriers were moving toward their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was stunned by the scene. I had thought some fight would take place. But instead, everyone chose to leave. It showed that people were sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I found the gazes of the other 8 people on me. I looked at them and found they were looking at me with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored their gazes before walking toward the cabin. I wanted to take a rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I entered the cabin, I found a chair and sat on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant sky carrier reached Star City a couple of hours later, but it was already the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole Star City woke up upon seeing the giant sky carrier in the sky. I walked out of the cabin and came to the edge to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyesight was better than before. I could see clearly that the people down on the ground were cheering out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t know that out of 30 selected genius warriors, only 9 had survived. The remaining 21 warriors had failed to leave the secret land, which meant they perished inside the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew the horror of encountering Class-10 monsters. If it were others, I doubted they would survive a single attack from Class-10 monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t kill one of them before the breakthrough, but now I thought I could take them down with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other 8 warriors came out to take a look at the view as well. Their moods improved. Apparently, they were sad about the loss of lives as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I found Dean Jerome to be neutral as well, as if he had expected the loss of lives. But the numbers were not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know how the faction leaders would react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white sky carrier returned to the university. The next second, everyone got alerted. In the blink of an eye, a couple of shadows appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the faction leaders of the university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, I saw the Thunderflame Faction Leader, Clifford, as well. His gaze immediately fell on me. Upon seeing me, he was shocked. The next second, he let out a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha… Ha… Ha….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be heard by others. Then I found the gazes of the other faction leaders upon me as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the gaze of the Dark Variant Faction Leader and the Bloodline Faction Leader. I didn’t have any issues with the Bloodline faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know why their faction leaders were looking at me with such intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant white sky carrier slowly landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Human Ancestor Bloodline Faction Leader, Francesca Ball, did not call out. Her heart was in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s impossible,” Francesca said in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she felt a bloodline connection from Zack Lockwood. It was only possible if either of Zack Lockwood’s parents was from her Ball Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had done a background verification of Zack Lockwood some time ago. He was not a native. He was not even from the Tier-5 region, let alone the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came from one of the barren outerposts. Her Ball Family didn’t have branches there. Her ancestor, Dylan Ball, was a native of the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no records of families residing in the outerposts. But then why was she feeling a connection to Zack Lockwood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she knew this was not the time to think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Thunderflame Faction Leader, Clifford, landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I landed on the ground. The other warriors landed on the ground upon seeing their faction leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome slowly landed on the ground. His gaze fell on the 9 warriors. His eyes flashed with a glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Get used to warriors’ demise from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After returning to your faction, take a few days of rest. Your faction leaders will brief you about some confidential news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Dean Jerome left the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-05T15:57:17.560Z",1,"novelbin.me","878e6b95df135fba57630536799b38a8e335fe1c8c98da27cad45ad0fe3202cc","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1159","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1157",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
