Upon seeing the call, he gathered his thoughts before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean,” Clifford uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Clifford began to listen. Dean Jerome explained what to do. He ended the call a few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Clifford’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dean must have found a way; otherwise, he wouldn’t instruct me to do things,” he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean wanted him to tell everything about the world to Zack Lockwood, which meant Zack Lockwood was now officially a Black Mark Warrior. He could join the Inner Hall tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of bed, I started my morning routine. I felt a lot more relaxed. My head was light, and my thoughts were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spent about an hour completing my morning routine before heading to take a bath. The bath lasted for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, I stepped out and changed into fresh clothes. I didn’t know what was going to happen today. Thinking about her puts me in a bad mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed those thoughts down before getting ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was ready to leave when I received a call from the faction leader. Upon seeing the call, I attended it. He wanted me to come to the meeting hall because he had something important to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he ended the call, I stood in the same spot, pondering. I’m sure the Dean doesn’t want others to know about the bloodline power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had asked me to lie about my inheritance. If I went to the meeting hall now, there would be discussions about the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What to do now?” I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean is the ultimate authority here. I can’t go against his words. He wanted me to lie about the inheritance for my safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also the Red Mark Warrior Ring on my finger. It can block all prying eyes. I continued to look at the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I decided to go along with the lie. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I exited the room and walked out of the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bright sky and feeling a cool wind brushing against my face, I felt good. Then I started walking toward the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, I came across other members. They stood to observe me. Right now, I am a Black Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors above the General Rank rarely spent their time in the Thunderflame Faction. They had their own hall and facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored everyone’s gazes and continued toward the meeting hall. Soon, I arrived at the meeting hall. When I entered, I found everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford was seated in the main chair. Master Austin, Ann, Main Elder Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were present as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s expressions were dull. Upon seeing me, they showed serious reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, I know you were resting yesterday, but I would like to know the name of your inheritance,” Austin asked in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, others perked up their ears as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford looked at me with expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I did not falter. I had come prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my head and said, “My Ancient Inheritance is called the variant of the water source element.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford let out a deep sigh. The faces of the other main elders changed drastically. Now they understood that Dean Jerome was not lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everyone’s mind had one thought: What if the Dew Water Faction learned about Zack Lockwood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zack Lockwood had accepted the ancient inheritance related to the water element, his rightful place must be the Dew Water Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole main hall fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of the main elders looked sad. They didn’t know whether to console themselves or Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin was shocked to the core. His last disciple, who was exceptional with the purple lightning element, had accepted the ancient inheritance of the variant water in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ann was disappointed as well, but she didn’t give up hope. Because the ancient healing technique is independent; its origin is related to the ancient era as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was down, I sighed inwardly. If not for the bloodline power in my body, I would have told them about the Shock Force Integration Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That ancient inheritance allowed me to practice all three elements up to the Title God Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, I couldn’t reveal the truth right now. Dean Jerome seemed to be serious about the bloodline power in my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford said, “Thankfully, Dean Jerome said that he would find a way for you to use the purple lightning element. I believe him; he won’t speak without being sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I nodded to him. Of course, the Dean knew about my ancient inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, the Dean wants me to tell you the truth about our world. It’s the truth everyone would know after becoming a Black Mark Rank,” Clifford added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression turned serious. Finally, the doubts regarding the appearance of foreign creatures at the trial would be cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, our world is unique and massive. The countless outposts, many inner posts, and the current Tier-4 region are only a small part of our world,” Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the main elders showed serious expressions. They had heard this countless times since becoming Black Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, everyone was young and in their prime, but the news shook them to the core. Right now, they didn’t know how Zack Lockwood was going to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I was surprised by the sudden revelation. But I quickly accepted the fact: ever since I learned there are many levels beyond the General Rank, I understood the world is not ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I hadn’t heard about warriors above the Red Mark Rank living in the Tier-4 Region. I had guessed there must be another place somewhere in the world. I’m happy that I’m finally getting to know the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-05T15:57:17.560Z",1,"novelbin.me","9669a6b8590a7861985d96fc8165ee34ff8ef33a452caff14b273cf2d1196904","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1169","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1167",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
