He looks at Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"Dean, what’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome takes his eyes off the screen and turns towards the Purple Mark Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you know?\" Jerome asked back in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard shakes his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome said, \"The foreign creature that appears on the last day was supposed to be a mountain-type foreign creature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s the same case every year. Zack has done well. He even returned unharmed,\" The Purple Mark Guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome smiled and said, \"Zack Lockwood is even better. Do you know what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one more foreign creature that appeared after the mountain-type foreign creature. It’s a humanoid foreign creature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the Silver Mark Warrior would find it hard to kill one. Yet this kid was able to slay one. We all underestimated him,\" Jerome said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" The Purple Mark Guard blurted out in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but recall Zack Lockwood’s questions at the entrance. He asked about the previous challengers who had Ancient Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he gave a casual answer to the kid. Yet Zack Lockwood was asking about the foreign humanoid creature. No one had faced it before. Including the previous warriors who had Ancient Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome said with a chuckle. He was shocked as well. But he didn’t show emotions on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the news is leaked, a new storm will appear. Dean, should I go back and warn that kid,\" The Purple Mark Guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome shakes his head before replying, \"There is no need for that. People are already paying attention to his inherited power. This news will distract them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s hope that the Thunderflame Faction would be silent about this,\" He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard nodded to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome then informed the Faction Leader, Clifford, about Zack Lockwood’s return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderflame Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader Clifford was glad to know that Zack Lockwood had returned safely. He had expected Zack to visit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he thinks that kid must be exhausted. So he didn’t disturb him. Rather, he informed all the main elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin and Ann were happy to know that Zack had returned. They were worried. The battlezone was not an easy place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the warriors who have accepted the Ancient Inheritance can survive there. Both of them had witnessed the power of the variant water element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they knew there won’t be any life-threatening injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I woke up quite late. After getting out of bed, I began to do my morning routine. To be honest, I don’t want to leave today. I still wanted to rest here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Faction Leader, Masters and the Main Elders must have known about my return yesterday. If I don’t go today, they will think something is wrong with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for me to complete the morning routine. Then I entered the bathroom to take a shower. The bath lasted for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping out of the bath, I changed into fresh clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, I exited the residence. Then I started going towards the Golden Lightning Palace. As usual, the members recognised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Zack Lockwood has returned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly spread the word to others!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Faction is going to shake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors are discussing in a low tone. Hearing that I was speechless. I hadn’t expected the warriors to miss me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting to see a drama. I shook my head before heading towards the Golden Lightning Palace. Upon arriving there, I took a small breath before going inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to the members before heading towards the Master’s residence. But just as I arrived at his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I received a call from Master Austin the next second. Seeing that my eyes flashed with doubt. I attended the call the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, come to the meeting hall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I realised everyone was waiting for me in the meeting hall. Then I turned around and started walking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 5 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at the meeting hall. At this point in time, a lot of warriors saw me. I guess the news will spread soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked into the hall. My gaze fell on the Faction Leader and Elders discussing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon my arrival, everyone quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, how are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you suffer any injuries yesterday?\" Oldman Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I replied,\" I’m doing fine, Faction Leader. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, tell me about the trials?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not easy to face the foreign creatures for the first time. We all had our own experiences facing them,\" Clifford said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to him before starting to tell them about the experiences. Starting from the first day, when I came across the weird six-legged foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about the six-legged foreign creature, they weren’t surprised. But they all had a smile on their faces while listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expression shows that they too faced this creature. Then I talked about the nighttime when I faced the projectile-type foreign creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These damn pests usually come at night time,\" Cathy said all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that other main elders smiled. The Faction leader, Clifford, nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began to talk about the second day. I came across extremely tall, towering foreign creatures. Their legs are taller than some of the high-rise buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time no one was surprised. They had faced the towering foreign creatures as well. Then I continued to talk about my attacks and strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After telling them, I started to speak about the mountain-type foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the final creature in the trial. To think you have killed it. It’s the proof of the power of your Ancient Inheritance,\" Oldman Clifford said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was impressed with Zack Lockwood’s explanation. The kid narrates as if everyone were on the spot, witnessing the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Final creature,\" I uttered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is one more foreign creature to go. It’s the most dangerous foreign creature in the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-05T15:57:17.560Z",1,"novelbin.me","8882d929dedfc5b54e281bb19f2b741eaafc8f4d2893f0d6d7b18d437256d1b4","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1187","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1185",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
